| whaack: | diana_coman: EOD Report: My day started late (at about 11am) because I got back late last night and slept in. I spent about 7h setting up my VM, and then did 1hr of reading + 25mins preparing my article for tomorrow (today). For the vm’s os i am using centos 6. I got sbcl and quicklisp running on the vm and was able to load trinque’s code. There were some hiccups in getting sbcl working… the version I could get from yum was t | [10:18] |
| whaack: | oo old / incompatible with the libraries trinque’s code uses, and for some reason the latest version on sbcl’s couldn’t build. I was eventually able to get version 1.4.14 running smoothly. I can create a swank server on the remote machine and connect my local slime via an ssh tunnel. I am currently working on getting postgres running on the VM. | [10:18] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: I'm sending the eod report this morning because there was a net split last night. | [10:19] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: sounds ok but you should write-up the above and publish on your blog really. | [10:22] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: I have been taking notes including all the commands I ran to produce the writeup, I was thinking the article is incomplete without postgres running but I guess it would be useful to have a standalone how to 'centos6 VM w/ sbcl running a swank server' | [10:27] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: it can wait until you have postgres running too and you publish it all in one article, not a problem | [10:27] |
| lobbes: | http://younghands.club/2019/12/15/ejb-plan-week-0-dec-16th-dec-22nd/#comment-209 << diana_coman on my way out the door to saltmines, but I indeed forgot deadlines; will add tonight. | [10:59] |
| lobbes: | bbl | [10:59] |
| lobbes: | (I linked to wrong comment above, should be: http://younghands.club/2019/12/15/ejb-plan-week-0-dec-16th-dec-22nd/#comment-212) | [11:00] |
| diana_coman: | lobbes: works. | [11:37] |
| diana_coman: | dorion_road: I didn't further comment on your blog and review as I think they got quite covered during Saturday's discussion; is there though anything specific in there you want to ask about? | [15:37] |
| diana_coman: | meant plan* and review. | [15:42] |
| dorion_road: | diana_coman thanks, saturday covered it quite well indeed. I'll add the discussion as a comment where it makes sense. saturday was clear and at this point I don't have any questions. I'm on track to meet my deadline for the tmsr os mission and vision genesis article today with buffer. | [16:46] |
| diana_coman: | dorion_road: cool, glad to hear it. | [16:51] |
| lobbes: | diana_coman: okay, due dates have been added. | [20:26] |
| lobbes: | whaack: I've started to poke around the remote-saltmine market. I was wondering if you could recommend any specific job seeking strategy that helped you snag yours, or if it was simply a wot-hookup (looking back, virtually all of my jobs I've landed in the last decade were through my meat-wot; have never had much luck with the indeed.com or linkedin platforms) | [20:26] |
| lobbes: | dorion_road: I also wanted to pick your brain re: my eventual report on the state of the ebuilds. Where I currently stand is I've only ever used Portage; I've never really dug into it. I know it is a beast, so I was hoping that you could help me narrow my focus onto what specifically you'd like me to find out about it | [20:26] |
| whaack: | lobbes: My high school has a mailing list for all the students who were active in the comp sci community. I got my current gig responding to a job posting there. So no, I don't have a systematic job search strategy that works for everyone. In general I believe scanning one's meatwot is the best way to go. One strategy I've heard of although never tried is spamming employees at companies with referral programs. Then instead of being | [20:40] |
| whaack: | 1 in 1,000 emails sent to a recruiter, you are the ~only email, and you explain to the employee why you think you can get the job and remind them that 'hey if they hire me you get ,000' | [20:40] |
| whaack: | (or whatever the referral bonus is) | [20:41] |
| lobbes: | whaack: That is an interesting idea re: spamming employees at companies with referral programs. Mailing lists at old schools are something I didn't think of, I'll poke at that as well. But yeah, nothing beats a healthy wot | [20:48] |
| lobbes: | whaack: ty for the infos | [20:48] |
| whaack: | lobbes: gl. i'll be looking for a new gig soon as well since my contract finishes in February. If I see a good opportunity i'll send it your way. | [20:51] |
| lobbes: | whaack: tyvm (and gl on your search as well) | [20:52] |
