It is completely fair to expect at least B1 from potential citizens and permanent residents. What the article is covering are the skilled workers, and for them B1 isn't nearly enough to function in any profesional…
>>if all I need is shelter for a day, would I necessarily care whether it lasts more than a week An interesting choice of a metaphor here. If I needed a shelter for a day, I would have bought (or rented) a nice tent. Or…
Unless you don’t intend to age, you too will become old and sick. As will, hopefully, almost everyone else. How is it wealth redistribution when most people will start as recipients, then move to being the donors and…
>>It 's not an ATS. >>No human can read that many resumes well. So I built something to rank them, helping me decide which resumes to read first Translation: it's an ATS. >>the system was designed to rank resumes, not…
I would have agreed that making teenagers read way above their (life) experience level may scare some off of returning to the same books after growing up, but am not so sure anymore. Most adults don't read period - if…
My bad- support is too wide of a term, and I meant it in a sense that Valve is quick to respond when their hardware stops working. I got my deck fixed after the warranty period, for example, with very little fuss. They…
For the inevitable minisforum machines comparisons - it's not as bad for Valve as it seems. You can't just add a dedicated GPU to a cheap miniPC with an integrated graphics- power delivery and airflow will have to be…
For us- sure. For most of the internet users- very likely no. Social media and video streaming IS the internet for the majority
Especially the kinds of people people who tend to create such monstrosities- they either move up or move on (to the next victim)
Hardly fair to describe books as a medium designed to get one hooked
It was really easy to tell which is which for the vocals. On the other hand, the only sample in which I didn't hear ANY difference is Ennio Morricone's, to the point where I couldn't really tell it apart from its…
A truly fascinating part is that feature and quality-wise EGS is still, after years of development, miles behind Steam. Epic likely has talented devs and clearly invests a lot of money into all of this, but it took them…
People in general can't be trusted to follow the rules. That's why we have the inforcement. Students are just little people
Apart from all the other things everyone mentioned, wired headphones never really become technically obsolete. I can still connect my 15-year-old pair of headphones to a laptop, and they work just fine. Sure, I swapped…
The kids tend to hang out with the kids of their parents' friends, with the neighbours' kids. A bit later in life, when in school, we find friends among the classmates, who too aren't usually all that similar to us.…
Actually it does work for those invite-only trackers, especially in niche fields. Unlike most public trackers which are either dead or on a life-support, member-only and invite-only sites are still kicking. And you are…
But they kind of are (a cult band). Most people in the world know Metalica while hardly anyone ever heard any of the Sisters Of Mercy's tracks. Normal people don't care- they just enjoy a ballad or two. I've long since…
I didn't state that Ars Technica specifically mandate LLM use for their authors. What I did state about them is that their editorial standards are lacking, and they tend to produce a lot of clickbait. IMO the industry…
I'ts an open secret that even the larger news outlets mandate LLM use. They buy subscriptions and have guidelines on how to mask the output (so that it would read less AI'ed), how to fact-check the links and the quotes…
The idea of practicing these random interactions is also to get accustomed to rejections from the assholes. After all, they aren’t the majority- most people are actually quite nice and often appreciate a company (or…
And it mostly happens in government funded and/or commercially viable sports, with public schools where kids train for free, scholarships, numerous competitions etc. To gather those selected elites we take an enormous…
3rd party keyboards are frequently banned from some of the bank apps, delivery services and so on. This way you have to keep the default one anyway and make even more typos when yet another app forces you to get back to…
A lot of the apps, not just the banking apps, but food delivery etc, restrict using alternative keyboards, leaving you with a default one, which is especially jarring for a multi-lingual countries where you typically…
All the great QAs with whom I've worked would have made good developers (and they actually WERE good developers, only with a QA name and salary). The problem is that a great QA earns less than a mediocre developer…
With this recent trend of a license-free or even AI-generated music, I doubt that they even have the incentive to give way to those smaller and less popular bands (the well-knowns are going to be just fine anyway) that…
