12:36:31  <dihedral> hello
12:36:50  <V453000> |o
12:38:30  <Wolf01> o/
12:50:08  <dihedral> how you guys doing?
12:50:23  <Wolf01> Tomorrow job talk
12:50:36  <Wolf01> It's a bit far away from home, but heh...
12:52:01  <dihedral> where?
12:52:08  <dihedral> what kind of job?
12:52:16  <Wolf01> Italy, developer
12:52:22  <dihedral> uh!
12:52:27  <dihedral> wow!
12:52:36  <dihedral> what makes you go there?
12:52:55  <Wolf01> Because I already live here :P
12:53:53  <__ln__> if we didn't have channel mode +c, we would see Wolf01 talking in the colors of the tricolori, and it would be more obvious
12:56:40  <dihedral> :-P

13:00:14  *** ChanServ sets mode: +o orudge`
13:00:20  *** mindlesstux has joined #openttd
13:01:21  <Wolf01> But is already the 5th talk for this year and I'm not fooling myself that I'll get the job
13:01:36  <__ln__> 5th talk at the same place?
13:01:40  <Wolf01> Nah
13:02:00  <Wolf01> Different companies
13:03:46  *** smoke_fumus has joined #openttd
13:04:21  *** smoke_fumus has quit IRC
13:19:03  <supermop> Wolf01: my rule of thumb is generally 20+ applications to get 1 interview
13:19:17  <supermop> and 10+ interviews to get 1 offer
13:20:26  <supermop> maybe it is better in other cities/countries, but experience here seems to be that apart from getting hired right out of university, you need to apply to 200+ jobs to get one
13:20:46  <supermop> for my wife it is a bit less as she has a much more in demand skill
13:20:58  <supermop> but it is still like 60-100
13:21:32  <supermop> for me i have probably made about 160 applications this year
13:22:47  <supermop> i've had 6 interviews at companies
13:23:03  <supermop> and 2 with recruiters
13:23:08  <supermop> ;(
13:23:34  *** Flygon has quit IRC
13:30:40  <supermop> was not supposed to be winking sad face, but i'm going to go with it
13:46:54  <Wolf01> Here I need a lot more papers to get considered (master on something) but not too much because you will be discarded as you might cost too much, also there's the "apprentice with experience" monster which is what all companies want
13:49:31  <Wolf01> I'm only qualified in electronics and telecommunications, I tried to graduate in web development but I failed
13:49:36  *** sim-al2 has quit IRC
13:52:41  *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
13:54:16  <supermop> i find in the us, web developer jobs often do not need a degree in that field
13:54:26  <supermop> a lot of people are self taught
13:54:31  <supermop> i NYC at leat
13:54:42  <supermop> in SF/bay area it might be more demanding
13:54:56  <supermop> move to NYC!
13:55:05  <supermop> we have lots of ginger ale
13:55:12  <dihedral> supermop: my experience in the past 10 years was: 1 application for 1 interview and 1 job offer
13:55:44  <Wolf01> Here they look for graduates, a lot, I bet it's for the certification programs, then the actual slave could be a 19yo self taught, but they have a graduate in the team
13:55:56  <supermop> dihedral: that sounds unrealistic, except in cases where you have essentially been 'offered' the job before yu even apply
13:56:23  <dihedral> yup, but that was not the case
13:56:40  <supermop> here you might meet someone who then wants to hire someone like you, but they must make you go through the standard process to be allowed to hire you
13:57:09  <dihedral> small companies does the trick
13:57:22  <Wolf01> I got 2 offers before I sent my application, and then discarded because I could not be hired as apprentice
13:57:35  <dihedral> and it usually took less than 4 weeks to get the offer - in the best cases it only took 2 weeks.
13:57:54  <dihedral> Wolf01 where in italy do you live?
13:58:11  <Wolf01> My motto since then is: "Don't. Contact. Me. If. You. Already. Know. You. Won't. Hire. Me."
13:58:23  <Wolf01> dihedral: North-East
13:59:08  <dihedral> how far away is Bozen?
13:59:10  <supermop> dihedral: the one time i had a situation like that it still took like 2 months
13:59:23  <supermop> and the guy that offered the job owned the comapny
13:59:31  *** Keridos has quit IRC
13:59:39  <supermop> but still went through the long process
13:59:45  <dihedral> I am now in that position - we have an applicant here today :D
13:59:59  <Wolf01> <dihedral> how far away is Bozen? <- 80km iirc
14:01:05  <dihedral> perhaps siag might be interested
14:01:21  <dihedral> or "Freie Universität Bozen"
14:02:20  <Wolf01> "80km" yes, the last 80 ones... 253km the shortest one, 340km the quick one
14:03:08  <dihedral> :-D
14:03:14  <Wolf01> 3.3hours by car, 5 hours by train
14:03:31  <dihedral> what on earth made you go there in the first place :-D
14:03:48  <Wolf01> Oh, I'm not there, I'm near Venice
14:04:14  <dihedral> what made you go to italy in the first place
14:04:27  <Wolf01> I was born here
14:04:36  <dihedral> there is no shame in that, but still :-D
14:05:36  <Wolf01> The problem is that I live in the Bermuda circle of "there's nothing here", which is really a circle with 40km radius
14:07:36  <Wolf01> Also I feel a bit reluctant to leave my area, because it's peaceful (if you ignore the highway)
14:08:41  <Wolf01> Also, no money to leave...
14:09:04  <dihedral> so companies sponsor the move
14:09:09  <dihedral> some
14:10:04  <Wolf01> Ahahah, yes, when you already work for them :D

15:46:08  <Wolf01> Another one, and another one too... turn based fantasy 3d strategy similar to turn based space 4x, puzzle game with gems totally similar to trains puzzle game... wtf steam

18:15:36  *** Gja has quit IRC
18:16:06  <andythenorth> one day
18:16:09  <andythenorth> a new gamescript
18:16:31  *** rellig has joined #openttd
18:17:54  <andythenorth> hmm
18:18:12  <andythenorth> there’s no generic delimiter to an industry chain
18:18:38  <andythenorth> if all the edges ultimately go to a black hole, that’s a discrete chain
18:19:04  <andythenorth> but if the edges link back to primaries (e.g. supplies)…then it’s cyclical
18:20:13  <frosch123> that's why they are not drawn in the graphviz pictures
18:20:31  <andythenorth> I had an idea for a deliberately crude industry GS
18:20:44  <andythenorth> it relies on starting a map with no industries
18:21:05  <andythenorth> and then it just funds a bunch of primaries and the next 2 levels of secondary
18:21:22  <andythenorth> and if you service enough of the ones it built, you get the next levels, or a new chain
18:22:36  *** roidal has quit IRC
18:22:59  *** Wolf01 is now known as Guest6068
18:23:01  *** Wolf01 has joined #openttd
18:23:57  <frosch123> you can detect primaries just fine
18:24:38  <andythenorth> yes
18:24:49  <andythenorth> I wondered how to model chains as a graph
18:25:07  * andythenorth has only rudimentary understanding of graphs :P
18:25:38  <andythenorth> maybe Eddi|zuHause could write a GS generator in python :P
18:26:41  *** Guest6068 has quit IRC
18:39:10  <supermop> ultimately i think you need to dump stuff on towns and somehow make that a goal
18:39:19  <andythenorth> probably
18:39:24  <supermop> like every other gs
18:39:28  <andythenorth> I like the idea of testing crude mechanics
18:39:41  * andythenorth wonders seriously about python GS generator
18:40:00  <andythenorth> and generating directly from FIRS source
18:40:11  <andythenorth> or consuming json
18:50:38  *** gelignite has joined #openttd
19:04:14  <Alberth> just start with mine-ish industries, then try building new industries that accept what is produced at the map
19:04:49  <Alberth> where at some point you also need to build more of the same industry, to grow in production capacity
19:05:17  <Alberth> GS has no file-io capabilities
19:05:36  <Alberth> generate the GS itself instead :p
19:10:44  <andythenorth> yes :)
19:10:48  <andythenorth> that was my intent
19:10:55  <andythenorth> ‘intent’ / ‘idea’ /s
19:11:01  * andythenorth has projects enough :P
