It is ridiculous. I am interviewing for embedded systems development where we frequently write to specific bits in a register. I am sure these kids have had to learn something, but I can’t figure out a polite way to ask them to give me some examples of what.
I wish it was a joke. Maybe they were deliberately getting the answer wrong to waste our time, but the body language was not consistent with someone fucking with me.
My company probably doesn’t get the best candidates (defense contractor that pays somewhat less than market rate), but yeah.
Two nibbles is an acceptable answer.
We have been interviewing for entry level positions and the new grads know less than ever before. I don’t really care what they know, I am looking for evidence that they can think, but I usually ease them into thinking scenarios by asking easy foundational questions like how many bits in a byte. You would think I was asking for them to explain the Shrodinger wave equations… One candidate was waivering between 13 and 17…
Every accusation is a confession
Trump has already had the dry run for turning it into a global pandemic. Anyone think JFK Jr. Is the right person to be in charge of the response plan? Anyone?
I am proud of my Canadian neighbors. I want unequivocal economic destruction traceable to the fat orange pedo.
Destiny is a better game than Marathon with broader appeal. They shouldn’t invest so heavily in a niche extraction shooter. What’s next? a game that is entirely escort missions?
For those who are unaware (like me), Imperial County is the county to the East of San Diego County, California.
And remember, if you get sick with the hantavirus you can get over it quickly by taking 2x the LD50 of Tylenol. A couple of days and you won’t even feel sick. Be sure to tell all your conservative friends because the government likes to cover up this kind of information.
My Gen Alpha kid refuses to learn when I offer to teach him. I am not going to force him to become technologically literate. (I’m Gen X and write software professionally). Maybe it’s my fault because my teaching style is incompatible with his learning style? He won’t accept my offers to send him to classes either.
Also, she would have gone home with you, but you missed all of her hints. You didn’t even get to the point of considering whether she might be Canadian.
They have to hold it because their toilet runs on Windows and broke.
I bet Trump stiffed him on the bill for the services he rendered that led to his disbarment. Lol, what a moron.
I heard Thomas doesn’t even mind when Trammel Crow calls him boy.
I had to use regedit to get rid of it. I still have a win11 boot disk, but I mostly run kubuntu now. Forty years of Microsoft being my primary operating system has come to a close. One drive and Copilot drove me away.
Funny hearing this criticism from Mozilla though.
Bag is probably full of shit that he is about to set on fire so you stomp it to put the fire out. Except that sort of plan requires more executive function than he possesses.
Dead Internet is a thing for a reason. :(
