Oh, I see. Have you seen Waterfox?

It's a fork of Firefox, with a lot of telemetry removed. I Like it!

@realcaseyrollins Ho about some Goth Crocs ?

@realcaseyrollins Did you try clicking on it? It might be paused.

Mobile or full computer browser?

@realcaseyrollins People consuming and aspiring for those brands is so silly.
😞

The Gucci thingie, I mean.

Your Nikes are important to you, enjoy them! 😄

@realcaseyrollins Ah, I see! 😜

Glad you are not the kind who pays that kind of price.

@realcaseyrollins On my experience, they showed up as raw scans, without any polishing, formating of chapter titles, content links, etc.

I have prefered to look for other sources if available, but if there aren't, well. 😉

C'est la vie.

@realcaseyrollins @georgia

Feedbooks also has some free, Public Domain books. FBreader has it on as a library source also.

http://www.feedbooks.com/publicdomain

The number on the columns on the left in the image are some of the available free ones.

@realcaseyrollins Seriously, USD$456 for a pair of sneakers? 😱

@realcaseyrollins The book formatting at Gutenberg Project is always very basic. 😔

Both ManyBooks.net and Feedbooks have much nicer formatted versions.

Feedbooks has some free, some paid eBooks.

@georgia I can access the site directly from my ebook reader app -- FBReader, which is available in iOS, Android or Mac OSX versions.

File -- Library -- one of the available ones is ManyBooks.net.

Search, find, download, ready to read in no time.

@georgia

ManyBooks.net has many nice FREE ebooks. Classic, public domain and newer CC licensed ones too.

Including a good selection of modern Sci-Fi books, Cory Doctorow’s titles and others.

Cory Doctorow’s titles on file there: https://manybooks.net/search-book?search=Cory%20Doctorow

Nice site, recommended.

@binsrc Wonderful photos, look at all the tiny details.

Made me think instantly of the "Micrographia" book, by Roberto Hook. A classic from a fascinating period in the History of Science.

See one of his amazing drawings: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/Hooke-bluefly.jpg

@togs We need to understand and translate the HR / Management Speak to plain English, and try to see what you can do to satisfy them. All of the musings below are my own, maybe others can opine and suggest others, correct any errors.

- Excellent communication skills, fair enough to ask, you need to speak the working language well, write it well, at a professional level.

- it can also mean that you can handle interpersonal dialogue, have a decent temper and can accept criticism without undue stress.

- Excellent team work : you can work and communicate with upper level and colleagues. You can take on tasks on a collaboration and push to make deadlines.

Criticism is handled with humility and poise.

Tech skills and the gibberish on design : uhm, that is tougher.

Conceptual - the beginning of a project, abstract level, architecture.

working model: rough and ready test code to demonstrate or evaluate a concept.

"Consistency in architecture and design/code practice"

I imagine this means you can identify the common practices at the company and work within their guidelines. Be them in conceptual level, structure or code formatting and organization at the editor formatting, indentation, etc.

Please not that I am not a grad or practitioner in comp sci or engineering. I might be wrong, but a good approach to a large problem is to chew it, one Byte at a time. 😉

Good luck tomorrow, Duncan!

@Sphinx
You are very welcome.

We have two new discussion topics on the forum, for the two major issues we are facing/:

- Non-English posts, and what to do about them.

- General posting, detracting from the instance's main Theme, STEM.

Feel free to post any comments and suggestions, it was moved there to make it easier to find.
