Strange experience I had today, I finished the one month application process for a job, it consisted of 3 interviews for a UI/UX position, the first two were general questions about my experience and how one reacts to criticism, or to phrases like “we have been doing it this way for 30 years”, the last one was an evaluation exercise of the company's system interface (it really looks like a 30 years old software) in all of them I did apparently well. But today the HR person called me and told me that even though the director of technology and the director of project management supported my candidacy, I was not found compatible with the owner of the company, what the hell does that mean? I never talked to the owner. When I asked for details, the nervous person just told me that the previous designer had left for those reasons. I don't know what to think, it was obviously a good position, but possibly I was saved from some crazy megalomaniac boss.
- Be sure the owner is the issue. And that you'd better stay away from that company. He/she's the reason for a system that looks like it's 30 years old...OBBTKN
- Oh no, I thought you had that in the bag!
Sorry to hear, but yeah maybe you dodged a bullet there...grafician - B/C serious response from owner every time logical, meaningful suggestions are put forward: “...but we have been doing it this way for 30 years”prophetone

Let me know what you think of the recent changes. Im hoping it didnt ruin anything. i think it might make it a little less frustrating tho.
also.... i added basically another dice so theres another high probability of getting another vowel...
- Yeah I think it's an improvement :) the grid is a big help and the green for correct works better and now "new game" actually works :) just superb_niko

Space is the place
The absolute nerve of one of those women, or the Blue Origin media person, for saying this was an example for girls everywhere that they can do anything they put their mind to.
More like "money can get you anything you want if you have enough."

Video Games...
6yo son came up with a concept for a simple platform game at the weekend and had drawn it out. Yesterday I helped him craft the brief into a prompt for Lovable.dev
Ended up with a fun little 5 level platform game.

Food
Not ramen, for a change.
Not even tacos.Pork gyros pita.
Felt like summer over here this weekend, and I was croaking for one of these.Used this slightly-modified recipe from Akis Petretzikis (https://akispetretzikis.com/en... but changed its method to work like J Kenji Lopez-Alt's home tacos al pastor recipe/method (which I made and posted here a couple of years ago: https://www.qbn.com/reply/409051…), and a good thing, too. The whole "vertical skewer in the oven" business looks like it would be a pain in the ass.
I say "slightly modified" because I wanted to see if I could get a bit of smoky flavour that comes with real gyros from the fact the fat spatters and burns on the heating elements around the vertical spit, thus producing smoke that gets in the meat.
So I swapped out the sweet paprika for sweet pimentón de la Vera, the swapped the normal salt out for smoked salt, and left some pieces of pork come as close to carbonising as I could reasonably let them in the frying pan before serving.
Net result: detectable smokiness once cooked and good char from those select bits of almost-carbonised pork, but absolutely not obnoxious or out of place. Will continue to make it this way.
I didn't do the full recipe, though, just half. 1 kilo of pork is more than enough for one or two people. And yields enough meat to freeze in portions when cooked (I figure you'd got a good 10-12 gyros out of it, provided your portions aren't truly over-large).
Tzatziki is homemade, as are the pitas.
Potatoes are also home-made. Heston Blumenthal's triple-cooked chips, but with the sodium bicarbonate in the cooking water trick from Kenji to make them even more crispy. It works.
Yup. Fucking good stuff, this.
And yields enough meat to freeze in portions when cooked.That's it. That's all I've got for you.
