Solid advice, I’ll keep it in mind for the next time.

A professional may help, but I’m inclined to tap personal contacts if ever I’m in the market for new work again. Playing the system more than a decade ago felt a little as though I were folding my resumes into paper airplanes and flying them into a bonfire. Zero acknowledgement of receipt from hundreds of applications, many of which kept the listing up for weeks or months afterward - one which did so after I attended a group interview where I felt that at least two others were shoe-ins by virtue of being much more experienced than I was.

I can’t say for certain what’s been happening in corporate HR departments, but I’ve heard and read similar experiences since then, and the situation doesn’t seem to improve/worsen depending on the economy/overall labour market. I’ll be fucked if I’m going to waste the time again with online application portals though, at least not without someone playing point-guard for me, you’re right.

The prophecy has come to pass! All hail Lord π, glory to π!

Legitimately 1000x better than cave paintings or statues of uber-thicc cavewomen with massive knockers. Takes the whole imagination out of it, but no one really seems to care that rubbing one out is less challenging this way lol

Fine, but could you at least change the title next time instead of copy-pasting the entire post?

Like a gigantic three-toed Chocobo bird, I guess.

Funny you should mention that.

That clears things up lol Here’s to hoping the meme trend doesn’t die, this is a good one.

I’m getting the gist of the meme, but the MMA reference… I don’t get it.

I’ve heard it explained as practical intelligence vs. abstract intelligence. Understanding calculus won’t help you frame a house, produce slate tiles for its roof, cast the iron for a potbelly stove that keeps it warm, etc., but it will help to calculate the trajectory of a space probe that your country is using to investigate an asteroid, or tap the stock market, do your own taxes without error, strategize saving/investment for your retirement, calculate the dimensions for a culvert that keeps a property from flooding, etc.

It’s debatable, see @Gustephan@lemmy.world’s comment below, they’re pretty close to the common consensus.

Solid take, I hear more people saying this whenever it’s discussed. Although it’s a pretty decent measure for natural intellectual capacity, a lot of that potential isn’t wholly practical even in modern society. Good for studies, math, science and Mensa, not so useful for nearly everything else.

No such thing as a free lunch, amirite? At least with the realization that your data is getting harvested like tuna by pirate fishing, you can purposely feed it bullshit to skew the metrics over time. If you want to get on the inside track of cheese sales, setup a program to search for cheese 1-3 hours/day during your time away from the terminal, and see how many sales of delicious brie/roquefort/edam/camembert/cheddar/emmentaler you get. Might as well get ads for delicious cheese wheels while you’re at it.

I couldn’t say with any certainty whether or not your choice of app would affect formatting, or how, as I only use one and it’s not Sync.

Theoretically, formatting rules don’t vary widely from one program to the next, as it’s all pretty standard stuff tracing back to standard practice for publishers’ typeset or even typewriters when you get right down to it. The enter key is literally a downward & left-hooked arrow indicative of the advance-page (rotate up and away from user/keyboard to place cursor below already-written text) & return to left margin action on a typewriter, which is what including the space will accomplish in this scenario.

Interesting idea. Is that what devs & mods have commented about the system setup in update notes (if any?)? I’m not in web development, and not at all sure about what’s considered standard practice or new. Others seem to be commenting in a way that sounds as though they feel put out or deceived, but you’re saying it’s just a minor security protocol?

FYI, you need to insert an additional Return ¿ or the text will align with your image’s left-hand side and throw off the comment formatting. The extra line of space will either place the text above or below the image instead of on its hip.
