Let's say you are applying for an engineering position and you want to mention that you contribute to an open source project. Mention the software stack used, maybe the number of downloads, and your focus on the project. Explain it in general terms. If it gets asked about in the interview, just answer questions without providing the name of the project.

You are describing Real Time with Bill Maher. People continue to watch his show. At least, I think you are, because I'm not sure what a "questionable guest" even is.
My (red) state is one of those that changed the law to make it illegal for pornographic websites to be seen by children. To view them, you'd have to have some kind of central ID to prove that you are over 18. This is absolutely a precursor to having to have an ID to use the internet at all. Every bad thing that has ever happened on the internet will be used to convince legislators to enact a law like this. It's only a matter of time.
I like the choice of SIlverstone for the case. I got one of those for my proxmox server. It was compact, but not so compact that I left a lot of skin and blood behind after mounting components. I will say that other manufacturers (like Fractal Design just seem to understand how to design an interior a lot better, though.
I have never been so glad that I talked myself out of buying the new iPhone this year! Siri is the primary input method I use for my iPhone. I would say I make around 20-30 vocal requests a day. It will be so nice to be able to do things like create a meeting on a calendar with a conversation instead of having to frame the request in a single sentence! I hope they do this rollout well.
In 2005 or so, I got a tip about an application called LaunchBar, which would later be copied by Apple to replace the Sherlock search tool, and later by Microsoft in its PowerToys suite. The machine learning LaunchBar used to tailor its responses based on my previous behavior was life-changing. Instead of configuring an application, I just had to use it to change how it behaved.
This is how language models and AI are going to improve your products. Subtly. Behind the scenes. Slightly improving a thousand different use cases, only a fraction of which your regular usage patterns are going to intersect with.
Thank you for posting this! I thought I had been banned.
I thought it was just me! I woke up one day to find that I was logged out, and I couldn’t log in via my apps or even via the Lemmy UI. I thought I had been banned!
Full results from the study, presented at the American Heart Association annual scientific meeting in Philadelphia and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggest the drug has other beneficial effects beyond the known health benefits from losing weight.
The heart risk difference between patients who received Wegovy, known chemically as semaglutide, and those on placebo began to appear almost immediately after starting treatment, researchers said.
So it’s not just from losing weight!
The associated risk factors include inflammation, blood pressure and blood sugar control, all of which can impact heart health.
Patients on Wegovy experienced decreases in C-reactive proteins, an indication of inflammation, similar to those reported with cholesterol lowering statins, which are known to significantly lower heart risks, researchers reported.
That is really promising!
Yep. That's what I get for having a ton of tabs open!
Greetings, ~~programs~~ -- er, ninjas:
Server Upgrades
We've been hard at work analyzing our analytics and tuning the site. If you've been watching our user growth, you would have noticed a dramatic increase in users last month corresponding to the Reddit exodus. Well, we certainly noticed. We started watching the server very closely and tuning it to give you the best experience. I won't go into too much boring detail, but I will say that the server has substantially more resources. We hope this will help speed up your Lemmy-browsing experience.
Software Updates
We continue to keep Lemmy as up-to-date as possible. We're now on Lemmy 0.18.4, which is the latest stable release. We work hard to upgrade to the newest versions as quickly as we can. If the inconceivable happens and we miss a major release, you can help by letting us know about it in this community.
Admin Actions
We've also been hard at work monitoring our connection to the rest of the Fediverse. Our philosophy continues to be to maintain connections to as many instances as we possibly can. This means that we focus our administrative actions on users rather than communities or instances. We've banned spam bots and bad actors from other sites. If you see someone breaking the rules here or elsewhere, please report them so that we can investigate and, if necessary, take action. We like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt as much as we can, and we strive for a permissive application of the rules. On the same token, however, we don't want to let a real problem fester and create serious issues for other administrators. So please help us keep the instance a friendly place by using that report button. It just brings the issue to our attention. No corrective action is taken automatically when you use it. And of course, thank you to everyone who has already helped us identify problems.
One of our tasks right now is to open more channels of communication between ourselves and the admins of other instances. This will help us better understand threats as they arise, and to deal with them before they impact your experience here.
Rules Updates
Speaking of rules, we have again removed some rules we felt were duplicative. Re-evaluating the rules and pruning excessive restrictions is an activity we revisit frequently. We want to make the rules easy to understand and remember. That usually means shortening them and keeping them simple, so don't be surprised if we shorten that sidebar even more in the future. We haven't added any new rules. If we do, you'll hear about it here.
Moderators Needed!
We don't have that many communities here at lemmy.ninja. But if you are subscribed to one and you don't mind acting as a moderator, we could really use your help! Reach out to me or to @[email protected] to let us know you're interested and we'll see about adding you to the team.
Our Roadmap
We plan to continue to improve Lemmy.ninja iteratively. Some things we have been considering are:
- A mobile interface for the site
- Alternative front-ends for you to use
- Live site analytics
- Collaborations with other instances
A lot of these things depend on how the site evolves and where we need to put our efforts. Nevertheless, these are some of the things that you might be seeing in the months ahead!
Wrapping Up
That's all for now, ninjas! If you have ideas for the site, feel free to comment below. Questions, too!

I hear you, and that’s great if it’s something the applicant wants to share. But none of the development work they’ve done at previous companies is work that they’ll be able to share. We take their word on that work. Not taking their word in the same way on other projects seems like a bit of a double standard to me.
