Any recommendations for left wing reads. Preferably something not depressing. Thanks!

A bunch of African countries rank higher than the US in the HPI https://happyplanetindex.org/hpi/?show_all=true

Definitely helpful! Thanks

The type of questions are really bizarre. Time pressure also.

I am a mobile dev so my day to day is dealing with UI, api requests, writing test cases, CI/CD stuff...

This is one example I remember being in a test: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/the-skyline-problem-using-divide-and-conquer-algorithm/

In that case it was books in a shelf and some other additions but yeah it's not something that I relate to at all.

Thanks! Good tips!

Yeah idk why that comment is being upvoted so hard... It sounds very weird like a copy pasta or a bot. He didn't even answer anything 😅

Yep I wish it was like that. These days mostly it's just links to online coding platforms where you do everything on your own and there's a ticking clock like this

It's just a link to an online test and I can do it whenever I want. There's no interviewer present

Same here. I can't stand the countdown timer

Yeah it really does suck. Literally every company is sending me an online coding test. Only one so far had a problem that was related to my daily job.

Seriously, been working as a software developer for 9 years now and never passed a single coding test.

The jobs I got were always the ones giving me weekend projects or just no coding test at all.

I have a job opportunity that looks exciting but they sent me this coding test link and I know I'm gonna fail for sure. Any tips aside from the obvious (practicing in advance on leetcode etc)?

I haven't seen any communist propaganda at all but I've read many comments and posts like this... Are they just referring to leftwing content?

On Linux I managed to disable the motherboard's Bluetooth because it showed up as a usb device and then I'm able to use a dongle just fine.

I'm running immich on a Debian machine at home. Anyone can point me to a detailed tutorial on how to achieve this including SSL and with no payments or subscriptions needed?

Hi! Been trying the app and I love it. @ljdawson@lemmy.world

Something that stood out to me as an app developer is that Product Sans is being used extensively in the UI. As far as I understand it's not a font that can be licensed for use (only Google can use it).

I know it's been asked before since some search results came up from reddit but there was no answer from the developer.

As someone who would want to use that font too could you explain how Sync is using it? Are you just ignoring the license or maybe it's just a very similar font? Thanks!

I know mastodon joked about not changing their name in their recent changelog but I wish they really did change it. It's long, doesn't exactly roll of the tongue and it's difficult to pronounce in most languages.

End of rant.

Edit: above all I don't think it's a cool name. Can't imagine asking my friends to follow me on Mastodon. They're just gonna think it's something dumb or weird. At least if it had a cool name they would be curious and ask what it's about.
