i keep pushing for at /least/ having something people can use in any browser but with no success so far
<omanom>
in the past we've had Java client applications and web apps done with Python/Java/mix
<omanom>
back then, "frontend" included work with Django or Spring
<noocsharp>
y'all got any summer internships?
<omanom>
other parts of the company do, but my group keeps getting told its not in the budget. which is ok, because we don't really have the time available to mentor an intern effectively anyways
<omanom>
do you have a career center on campus that maintains internship and coop opportunities?
<noocsharp>
sort of, they outsource a lot of it to a company called handshake which is basically indeed but for individual schools
<omanom>
oof
<omanom>
not saying it'll work for you, but what i did is i went to the career center, looked at the list of internship opportunities, immediately crossed out all FAANG-type stuff, and then essentially picked randomly from the list that was left if something sounded like it might be interesting
<noocsharp>
yeah, i think it's probably best for me to go talk to an actual human about this
<phoebos>
noocsharp: ha i think my uni also uses handshake
<omanom>
i'd agree re: talk to actual human
<noocsharp>
whenever i apply to something on handshake, i feel like my application just goes to /dev/null
<phoebos>

<phoebos>
it's useless

we aren't allowed to do our own selections -- we fill out a form with the job specification/requirements, it goes to HR, HR hands it off to a specific set of recruiters, and then the recruiters give us a list of people to interview
<omanom>
we get like one actual candidate from every 10-15 that the recruiters pass back
<noocsharp>
such is life at a megacorp i suppose
<omanom>
"actual" meaning can communicate with words, can type, and doesn't immediately hit on any females they see
<noocsharp>
wow

Bruh what do those people put in their resume that they get selected
<testuser[m]>
I mean the types that u mentioned
<phoebos>
> please note java/javascript experience is essential
<testuser[m]>
How long was dylan gone for, last time?
<phoebos>
what tf does that slash mean
<testuser[m]>
: yea who says java/javascript
<testuser[m]>
That's even worse than c/c++
<phoebos>
testuser[m]: it was from like november 19 to may or june?
<testuser[m]>
Hmm
<phoebos>
8th june
<omanom>
testuser[m] I have no clue why they get selected. most of them don't even have any relevant experience on their resumes to what we ask specifically for
<testuser[m]>
phoebos: btw just apply everywhere, HR puts any garbage in the description, same with applicants who put tech on their resume after doing a hello world tutorial
<testuser[m]>
omanom: good college?
<omanom>
nope
<phoebos>
testuser[m]: ok
<phoebos>
hehe i can put "package maintainer" on my resume
<noocsharp>
i did that
<omanom>
do it, seriously
<omanom>
one of the "joke" ones when i was graduating was being a leader of a 10man WoW group. it involves scheduling, personal skills, analytical skills, research... you can make it sound great in even general terms and it is completely legitimate experience
<testuser[m]>
Helped in packaging software for Linux distributions and delivered them to users in a highly scalable and distributed manner through github
<noocsharp>
maybe i should put "google searching skills" on my resume, and see if that bypasses their autofiltering thing
<testuser[m]>
Lead a highly distributed investigation through IRC into a chromium bug lingering for years, resulting in a prompt fix within a matter of days 🚀

the nice thing about uxn, apart from being v simple and easy to implement, is that it's easy graphics

hey, any of you guys happen to have an NSS package that works?
<illiliti>
i have one. what's the problem?
<midfavila>
The one I've got is pretty old, since I don't normally use software that requires NSS - for whatever reason it's not properly generating the .pc file properly at build-time, and I'm not willing to debug the magic in the build script rn
<midfavila>
would rather steal someone else's package
