Suggesting examples are not the same as explaining and therefore the interviewee will not be hired and therefore it is not a deadlock

[–] [email protected] 85 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Suggesting examples are not the same as explaining

But the interviewee didnt suggest an example, they merely attempted to create a deadlock.

However, in their attempt to do so they imply that they CAN explain a deadlock and therefore should get the job.

The interviewer doesnt ask for an explanation, only if the interviewee is able to provide one.

Deadlock resolved

Iamdevloper has been chosen as the deadlock victim by lowleveldata

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 months ago

Oh. That's good.

Isn't that the haircut The Misfits invented in the 80s?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That's the devil locks lol

Oh, right. Then it must be Bob Marley’s hair:

No that's dreadlocks. A deadlock is an early class of battleship.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, that's Dreadnought. Deadlock is a Batman villain who is an expert in firearms.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not, you're thinking of Deadshot. A deadlock is a Scottish body of water that has been polluted to the point that no life exists in the lake.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

No, you’re thinking of a dead lach. A deadlock is an anti folk music pioneer—not really dead yet though he claims to be dead inside.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, you're thinking of Lach who as far as I know is still alive. Deadlock is that cyborg guy from Marvel comics.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Ackchyually, you're referring to Deathlok. Deadlock is a cartoon metal band from the mid to late 2000s.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

sorry to ruin the chain but it’s loch, not lach. no irn bru for you!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Eh I just misspelled it, the spirit, pronunciation are still there. I consider the chain in tact.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Hmmm. I think you're thinking of a dreadnaught. A deadlock is a magic using class in popular roleplaying games whose game powers are granted by a powerfu, but often manipulative, patron.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

That's a warlock. Deadlock is the first frontman from AC/DC, before they got that Geordie fellow.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

No that's a dead loch. A deadlock is the bond of matrimony between two individuals

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I read it as dreadlocks in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Me too. I was really wondering what sort of interview this was.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I read the post as "dreadlock" like three times in a row lol. I have been employed as a developer for many years and I don't think I've ever heard of "deadlock" as a named concept until now. The more you know.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Right... I see where I got confused. It's that band from that cartoon show right?

Jeez, Kevin Bacon back there just won't get into the game.

What haircut?

As someone who works with door hardware, this would be a pretty easy interview.

From listening to deviant's talks, deadlatches still seem to be widely misunderstood.

It's a plot device for Dr Who writers to prolong tension. Do I get the job?

The interviewer should ask him to explain livelock, and then leave the room.
