It is a purely ideological fork. Some people really didn't like that the Godot twitter account was posting explicitly leftist games (gamedevs with leftist politics? what a shock.) and then they started harassing the devs on github, got blocked, and then forked the engine. It's embarrassing that this is near the top of HN.
I mean, people still read Sam Pepys’ diaries, which are basically tweet-format (you can even follow along in realtime: https://mastodon.social/@samuelpepys )
I have this with yasnippet in emacs. It's more than just simple expansion too. It expands to a skeleton to fill in the blanks, so f expands to a function definition and then allows you to put in parameters, return type, then body or whatever makes sense in the current language.
I don't do anything remotely this elaborate, for me it's a couple phrases to bring up the URLs of public discord servers I have to link to frequently. But for this, I use Autohotkey in Windows. It works really well.
Not the OP, but it's extremely rude and unprofessional. Nitpicking a guy's college transcripts from 20 years ago? Come the fuck on. His experience and skills should have been enough, asking those dumbass questions is an insult, one that he didn't have to take.
if someone wanted to see my university grades after this time i'd confusedly ask: excuse me, i thought this was a senior position not a student internship.
just as frustrating as wanting code samples. none of my work of the past decade is public, and it's not mine to share. all i can show is ancient stuff
I remember i had an interesting project on a resume, and one guy really drilled down into the details of it. (I think this is an interviewing technique)
At some point, really deep down the rabbit hole, I remember saying, "I don't actually recall, it WAS over 15 years ago"
And to be fair, yes, asking why I flunked out is a perfectly valid question, even after 20 years.
The reason I give is that I had some family issues that required me take a break. During that time I started working in tech, and after a few years I never saw the need to go back. The real reason was the grades, which was caused by an undiagnosed neural-divergent issue.
But this was different. It was an hour and half of going course by course down the list, and asking exactly why I got that specific grade for that specific class if it was less than an A (including a few that were A-). I didn't flunk Martial Geology, but still was asked to explain that grade. Do you remember what grade you got in a freshman physics class 20 years ago, much less why it was that grade and not higher?
In the end I'm glad that I got an offer, glad it was higher than I was making, and glad I rejected it. It was proof to myself that I have morals that can't be bought. Not for that price at least.
