WontonSoup,

The entire point of this guy is to make the next craziest candidate seem normal.

WontonSoup,

I’ve owned 3 Subarus over the last 15 years. Drove the first two for years with 0 issues. 75k+ on both. First was a lease then buy out and was offered a great deal on the second to trade in. Only got rid of the second due to a change is need for a personal car. When I had a need again I got a third which I’m only at about 60k on but plan to drive this one as long as it’ll go. Only thing I’ve done so far outside oil changes and other routine stuff was brakes. Which I consider routine.

Another reason is swear by them is AWD in a very snowy climate without SUV gas mileage.

WontonSoup,

Even a limit of posts per community would be great. 2-3 from each community max in the first 100 would even be awesome. It would also force a lot of lesser known communities into peoples top posts and help growth in them.

WontonSoup,

Love that idea actually

What is it like freelancing? Is it a viable option to earn income?

I know some basic HTML, CSS. JS, and very little React – I’m learning it currently. One of the things I see mentioned online is freelancing as a way to earn income. Now, I’ve tried this before in the past on UpWork, and it was nearly impossible to get anything out of it, I rarely received a response and that required...

WontonSoup,

What’s your background generally. Do you have a degree in something CS related?

I learned more in my first 6 months of hands on work than I did in all of my schooling. So if you have a cs degree and can learn enough of the basics and interview questions you’d probably be fine applying to jr dev positions whether your concentration is programming or other.

Really hard question to answer with that info though.

WontonSoup,

Compartmentalize things so they all handle one thing individually and then you call those things from a main class is generally the way you’d do it.

Splitting things up will make your classes specific to a certain functionality and allow you to keep track of everything without individual files being thousands of lines, though sometimes they will end up that way anyway to achieve a single piece of functionality.

So for example you might have a service to call the api to get data, a service that exclusively posts to mastodon, etc.

You can write 500 lines of code to do something in your service and hide it away but then just call it like petInfoService.getPetInfo() from your main class and when you look at the flow it’ll make a lot more sense.

Any reason you chose typescript out of curiosity? Nothing wrong with it, just curious.

Feel free to post code if you need help. Just make sure whatever you’re posting or uploading to git doesn’t include any API keys.

WontonSoup,

Agreed that 5 month wait time is wild, but 5 months from today is closer than 5 months from next week. Get the ball rolling. Set yourself up to get the help you want, you deserve to be mentally healthy. Seems you’ve already made the decision that you want some assistance which is great. There is nothing wrong with seeking outside help. I don’t dive into fixing my cars engine, I get someone who knows exactly how it works.

Hope you have a good day today.

WontonSoup,

We’re at a point in memes where I’m not sure if your is intentionally wrong

WontonSoup,

I wish msq wasn’t months long to get through now. I played for probably 2 months only doing msq and was still an expac or two off. There really needs to be an abridged version. If you’re trying to catch up to max level friends you either boost and give up on story or accept you’re months away from joining them. Kinda sad both ways cus the story was great. I eventually burned out on playing solo and quit to play games with friends again

WontonSoup,

Solved in 1:29. Haven’t done a crossword in years but this was fun. The mini is a good size for me

What was your time

WontonSoup,

What a weird way to go about it. Knowing a small amount about chess ratings the loss or changing of title does in some ways make sense though in the way that the bar for a woman to be considered GM is lower than a man. So effectively you would have a title that may have a rating requirement higher than your pre-transition rating. I get that part…. But the rest?

These are weird rules that really don’t need to be there and I hope too GMs speak out against this in both the male and female sections. There has been quite a bit of drama in the chess community in recent years over what is essentially gender discrimination. So another stain on chess with this one.

Editing to add: the differing rating requirements in an intellectual game are very strange to begin with. There are many women who meet the requirements of being a GM(male) rather than a WGM and they’re a significantly smaller portion of the overall chess players

I want to be a professional, but not seeing trans guys in successful positions is disheartening.

Not saying that I want to go full-corpo, but the idea of getting ahead in a career is really appealing to me. I feel stuck in my job I have now because there’s not much chance of advancement and the hours are really inconsistent. I’ve been considering going back to college to pursue something that would allow me to have a...

WontonSoup,

I felt completely stuck in my job and returned to school to do CS and now work as a software engineer. It’s never too late, I was in my 30s. If you choose to pursue it do it for the right reasons. Sit down and start to learn a bit of code if you don’t already know how to do some basic stuff. It’s not for everyone that’s for sure. If you have any questions about school as an adult I would be happy to answer. The other poster who said “it’s more about producing good work” is exactly right. good luck

WontonSoup,

I’m so tied of the bot spam in all these communities with 0 interactions showing up in the feed. For every one I block I swear 2 more show up. I don’t even get the point. Dead community maybe a few votes and just endless spam. Is there a block bots checkbox like there is a block nsfw

WontonSoup,

Use the inspect button in your browser and you can pinpoint it in the html which will help you pinpoint it in the actual component.

Be aware though this isn’t shutting off functionality. Just hiding the functionality. People could still upload directly though api calls

WontonSoup,

I have no idea how the app is built I hate to say, Ive never looked at it. Was just giving some general advice. If I get some time I’ll dig a bit sounds fun

WontonSoup,

I’ve had this issue in the past. I had to spend hours on the phone with apple support to get them to manually remove my number from the iMessage database of known numbers. Then you also have to wait for that to sync back to everyone’s devices who has you as a contact. It was awful and still didn’t fix it 100%

WontonSoup,

Very slightly in this build but wasn’t at all in my previous

WontonSoup,

I have all new drives and a fresh windows install obviously. Literally the only thing from the old to the new guild was my gpu.

Do you rma through nvidia or through the card manufacturer. I’ve never had to do it before. What’s the typical experience if you know off hand?

WontonSoup,

I appreciate the thoughts. It was a brand new psu with plenty of extra wattage. My old 750 was sufficient but went bigger just to be sure in this build. I’ll check on bios and drivers. I know my gpu drivers are up to date but not sure on bios. It’s happening with 2 different builds though where the gpu is the only common factor. I feel like that rules out most everything else component-wise

WontonSoup,

Wow that’s an awesome tip I had no idea that was a command… It was more than a month between occurrences but I’ll keep this in my back pocket for next time. Thanks

WontonSoup,

You have a resume that puts your knowledge further than 99% of CS graduates, myself included when I graduated it sounds like. That doesn’t mean stupid hiring managers or HR department’s understand that though. Many places will auto dump your resume without a degree. Just being realistic.

I guess the question if you love both is do you want to break for back working on cars or sit in an air conditioned office writing uninteresting code most of the time.

There’s no real reason not to go to school even already having the knowledge. You learn a lot more than just CS and those in major classes would likely be a breeze for you. And you’ll get an opportunity to learn things you probably haven’t studied in the higher level courses.

You’ll also get to actually focus on other things and take some really interesting courses along the way. You’re gonna work til you’re 60+. Take advantage of being 18 for a while before you go into the real world

WontonSoup,

A 3 year old article with a 1 liner from jack dorsey is hardly evidence for the job going away any time soon.

Another article to take with a huge grain of salt has CS related things in 5 of the top ten slots for 2023
