[Dmitrii Kovanikov @ChShersh]

I went on a job interview for a Senior SWE role.

They asked me about my experience with Kafka.

I told them how in “Metamorphosis” someone can lose their worth in others’ eyes the moment they stop being useful. It’s a chilling reminder of how fragile our sense of belonging can be when it relies on productivity instead of humanity.

I told them how in “The Trial” he describes the helplessness of confronting institutions that feel arbitrary, unaccountable, and impossible to navigate. The randomness of a giant system can crush your soul. Our brains can’t handle overwhelming inconsistency.

I told them how in “The Castle”, we learn that seeking an approval from an unreachable authority is a trap. If you spend your life chasing validation from humans who don’t care, you’ll end up feeling stuck. The pursuit consumes more than the reward it gives.

I didn’t get the job. The market is tough.

Купил новый холодильник, Самсунг многобукв, по черной пятнице за 900 евро. ИИ рассказал в чем отличия разных моделей. Жду когда роботы заменят человеков.

For those who follow chess ... this is possibly the biggest chess tragedy & scandal in the modern history of the game.

Please consider signing: request FIDE ban Vladimir Kramnik, and revoke his titles/norms, per ethics standards.https://t.co/h2lDuq0PYS via @Change

@Sonos Called support, the problem was that my ISP router got software upgrade and turned on its WiFi network and Sonos's connected there instead of internal mesh network they were always using. Turned off the ISP router's WiFi and Sonos is back.

[Pavel @pvlpp]

@Sonos suddenly got "No products found on <my network name>" after five years of working, updating network settings didn't help, "reset" Beam three times, still no products. Updating other speakers turned errors. It can't be due to AWS, to play music on my network. How to fix?

[Pavel @pvlpp]

@dims12 Да, отправил подпись по почте, в ответ прислали документы о гражданстве ;-)

Теперь еще надо паспорт по почте заказать.

[Pavel @pvlpp]

Зашел сказать, что теперь я тоже гражданин Советского Союза (зачеркнуто) Королевства Нидерландов.

Где купить флаг, чтобы вешать на дом? (говорят, раньше выдавали на церемонии, но наш бургомистр сэкономил, поэтому клятву я отправил по почте, так что я без флага)

[Pavel @pvlpp]

@db_programmer Да, но пока вроде то веселое приключение на паузе, потому что есть риск въехать и не выехать. Жду письма от IND.

[Pavel @pvlpp]

@usehex Спасибо! Мне еще с флагштоком, чтобы над входом в дом вешать и размахивать как датч ;/)

[Pavel @pvlpp]

@sandlex @KvanTTT В праздники у нас вся улица как по команде вешает флаги на дома, я тоже хочу, классная традиция.

[Pavel @pvlpp]

@dusha_golubec Нет, это был кто-то другой ;-)

[Pavel @pvlpp]

Considering that R is a Liander employee who rides a Liander car and wears Liander uniform, he represents Liander brand.

[Pavel @pvlpp]

@LianderNL what’s your policy regarding behavior of your employees in out of office hours?

My neighbor, your employee, threatened me wearing liander t-shirt and the next morning my car had a flat tire. I filed a police report.

[Pavel @pvlpp]

I talked to other neighbors and they all say R threatened them as well. One neighbor told so many stories that I’m really concerned now about my safety. E.g. R tried to beat them screaming he has mental issues, over time he has a folder of police reports and evidence on R.

[Pavel @pvlpp]

@iamkarlson Я тоже вчера получил, пока не осмыслил, но вроде как можно расслабиться.
