I've found the only thing that will actually work for cases like this is a programmatic hook to block Claude from the action. Non-deterministic behavior via code.

I personally find it hard to read my own handwriting sometimes and I really have tried to improve for years. In an exam situation though its extra pressure to write quickly so its very hard to make it legible.

It's "easy". You just spend a couple of years reviewing PRs and working in a professional environment getting feedback from your peers and experience the consequences of code. There is no shortcut unfortunately.

Demand has gone up largely because of data centers. Supply has not increased enough so expensive options are the marginal supplier. Grids costs are also build into tariffs. What is your point?

They are the same side of the coin but one has a much larger effect then the other depending on where your are. Energy has always been expensive in Ireland and home insulation poor (though there have been lots of grants) | NIMBY-ism. True b

It's actually fine in theory but it's nearly impossible to build anything in Ireland due to the way the planning laws work. In an ideal situation we would be seeing a ramp up in production of all types to take advantage of the cos

Agreed. As I said in another comment it is a policy decision to rely on market forces while making little effort to reform the planning process. We should be a world leader in wind energy but the planning process holds us back hugely.

21% of all energy is now being consumed by data centers with not enough investment in new forms of energy generation. This is a policy decision by the government. More realistically it is a decision to not proactively do anything and instea

The graph on the BMI calculator is incorrect. While it is a pretty minor bug how many other "minor" bugs are in these tools. It's great to produce something for free but if it wouldn't have been more then a couple of hou

They work based on what someone is prepared to enforce and the laws of the country they try to enforce it in. Having it written and signed isn't some magic catch all. I'm sure they can fire you but it seems to be "at will&quo

I understand the difference. Most jobs would like to own your 24/7 for minimum wage. They can also have clauses about discussing pay or other gray / illegal points. Just because you've signed it doesn't mean much to me.

This is what a probation period should be for. Even with all of the above you normally still have to pass probation. I've seen numerous people in the EU get let go in their 6 months for not meeting expectations. I think that is a risk

I think it is. Employers love to include whatever they can in a contract. Non competes in Canada and the EU are generally not enforceable but you see them regularly. Why should this line be any different. Edit: which -> why

Its is about as misleading as saying "X% of them are not wearing a seatbelt" the helmet comparison is not fair here. In every US state (as far as I can tell) you are required to wear a seatbelt while operating a car. Similarly in

If you want to go further back in time you can check out IBM DOORS. Though it does have some great features you see shoehorned into Jira these days.

The EU also has charge backs as well. I would have assumed all credit cards would have this as a feature.

Totally agree with the sentiment. It has gotten a lot better in the last 10 years. Very frustrating to have your name blacklisted by that. It does seem most system have a very US focused design. I still find it funny that even in my home co

I can very much relate to this but also have very little sympathy here. I have a special character in my name, an apostrophe, and it causes trouble regularly online and with tooling. A number of years ago I decided just to never use it when

I think it is more of a problem of inflation. If you get 50 application is easy just to automatically remove the X that don't have a college degree. Similarly to the way you might have a GPA cut off of some amount but they don't a

In theory its the same as just running a data center on-prem and then running the Kubernetes cluster on top of it. I think you would generally have the same issues as running a general data center on-prem. I have not seen any resources yet

I'm really sorry to hear that. I imagine you are looking for your first job out of college? Even as a quality candidate there might be a lot of way that you are going wrong. I would advise you try and get your CV looked at. This can ma
