Man, I am so torn and this article doesn't help. But in a good way?
I'm a middle age guy who has no degree and taught myself to program during the pandemic. By now Ive created websites, built a game(well not finished but most of the mechanics), finished a ml pipeline project, and of course started so many side projects that may never get finished as is expected. But in this market I can't get hired because, well only on part, no degree.
I need to get out of my current career for mental health reasons and have decided to go back to school to get a degree and have chosen my secondary choice for a degree instead of going CS. Now I read this article and feel torn. I want to get to work coding and create something great, work with driven people and solve problems, but I also need income and a path forward so I've chosen another degree to pursue.
I'm torn because either outcome that occurs is bitter sweet for me. Either the market picks up and so many talented, bright minded, and younger engineers will get hired and go on to create amazing things, or the market will stay stale and so many will get jobs not doing what they love.
This is kind of a ramble at this point. I'm summation I love to code so I'll code, and hope that this article it correct and others can get hired quickly and the market turns.
Did Elon tell some poor engineer to give grok a prompt injection for drawing,"make it look like one of my childhood drawings!" Just like the Tesla truck?
> you are using a super set of letters (or am I reaching too far)
You're not though. The original letters are not available, so uppercase is not a superset of lowercase. (Unless you're just stating your opinion that the set of uppercase letters happens to be super)
I always get confused around this and it seems to depend on specific keyboard and software. It seems to mostly be Alt, sometimes Alt Gr, and sometimes the Windows key. But I do remember using Meta to mean Alt when I was setting things up in Ubuntu maybe ten years ago.
I think Super and Meta are the vendor independent terms.
Ctrl - Ctrl - Ctrl
Super - Windows - Command
Left/Right Super - ?? - Open/Close Apple
Left Meta - Alt - Option
Right Meta - Alt Gr - Right Option?
Anybody able to fill the gaps?
Approaching an Apple keyboard for the first time, I naively thought Command would be Ctrl and was quite confused, since there also is Ctrl. But once you start a terminal it became quite clear that this was not the case. This is quite neat, it directly solves the SIGINT,SIGSTOP / Copy, Ctrl-D? confusion. Also having these operation as OS command means that all programs support them.
