Am definitely human.

I thought this would be more like MARS, but turns out to be bare-metal MARS Core War where I'm the scheduler. I'm not saying it a terrible experience, but I am grateful that my day job in IT is more higher-level.

Thanks for the excerpt.

a so-called CNC machine

Really? Framing it "so-called" makes it sound esoteric and rare, while in fact it's an utterly common machine tool used in many industries to create ... pretty much anything (eg. casting dies for Lego bricks). I wish they'd tone down the alarmism (unless they know it's ordered by "Ivan's Shell Mfg. Co").

Oups, I misremembered: the game is called Core War. In it, MARS ("Memory Array Redcode Simulator") is the name of a virtual machine that executes Redcode instructions. As a player, you write small programs ("warriors") to be loaded on the virtual machine where they try to prevail while klling off (overwriting) opponent programs.

Edit: Disregard this comment; I see you've solved your problem elsehow.

How did you modify your script?
const allowedLangs = ["de", "es"]; // This should work
or
const allowedLangs = ["de, es"]; // This will not work

Good luck friend.

Android is, in my opinion, the "best of what's currently available." Mind you, this does not imply that it is "good".

I dearly miss PalmOS and the Tungsten and Treo product lines, as well as the Psion brand. Those terrific PDA's had features that modern phones still lack. Conversely, I think modern phones come with a plethora of features that aren't really positive. But then, I'm not really a fan of the whole style where you can barely touch a device anywhere without operating it in some way. This is just my personal opinion.

The #1 reason why I would never choose Apple's products is that, while they excel at what you're supposed to use them for, their platform is way too locked down for my taste. As a device owner, I want the ability to customise stuff and install (and remove!) whatever the hell I want (including ads!), and Android delivers that in far greater measure than Apple.

Your logic is flawless and I fully support, plus it sounds rather cute.

However I must say that it seems too obscure, as most users won't know (nor care) who created the initial codebase, and there's no obvious association between "kbin" and "ern".

The interview for the role was completely different from what I am now doing.

Isn't that the norm? Like the old joke about hell seeming to be an all-out vacation, and then it turns out that was just the marketing brochure?

I very recently landed a sweet-sounding well-paying job at a large international consulting house. Turns out, on the inside it's all gaffer tape and leaky abstractions. Not some of it, all of it. After having spent a few months sussing out the scope of the issues I determined that yes, this is unfixable by any one new hire, so I've done some interviews and will be starting a new position elsewhere presently.
