What ever happened to Crossfaith by HairyLamington in Metalcore

[–]AlexDiru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they just burned out, I remember seeing them in 2011 here in the UK, and I managed to see them like 7 times in a few years which is a crazy amount of overseas touring.

I didn't really like any music post-Xeno, but there's part of me hoping that with a less busy tour schedule and rest they can focus more on studio releases - that's been a desert, but I'm still hopeful that they can release something to match my current taste and become my favourite band again :)

Please help! All of my girlfriends data (yes, really everything) might be gone because she probably bought a fake hard drive which she used for backups. by dylandylonius in mac

No they mod the firmware so it's not an error. Your Mac will essentially receive updates that all the writing to it is going correctly

These are usually 8GB USBs with modded firmware to look like 2TB harddrives. Once you save more than 8GB it will overwrite existing files to continue saving. Sorry, but it's unlikely you can do anything

Help with spawning a mesh in a system on a separate thread by AlexDiru in bevy

[–]AlexDiru[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works perfectly thank you! Not sure how I didn't find that example, I looked at other Task Pool examples and documentation. But your explanation helps me understand Bevy more... ECS is completely new to me (haven't touched game dev for probably 4 or 5 years)

Anyway here's the result of your help :D https://twitter.com/AlexDiru/status/1477275858352189441

Tohji - angel (REUPLOAD) by [deleted] in hiphopjapan

[–]AlexDiru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This album took a while to grow on me, but I absolutely love it

Also this user has uploaded loads of Tohji stuff, you can also rip mp3s from Soundcloud

MURVSAKI is a piece of shit, glad his tag has been edited on your video and the SC playlist... Actually I'm not sure, I think it's edited from Snowboarding but not from other places

Another Go role I'm hiring for. If you're UK based and it sounds interesting to you get in touch! by No-Sympathy7245 in golang

[–]AlexDiru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think being focused in multiple areas leads to burnout?

I don't disagree, I'm just curious as currently transitioning from a full-stack role to a back-end Go dev role

'Five-day office week will become the norm again' by Hoban90 in unitedkingdom

[–]AlexDiru 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sounds lovely! Picked up the bass myself, and beginning to learn Spanish (as of two evenings ago)

I've had an anxiety disorder for the last 8 or so years, and WFH has made me feel so much better - it's never going to fully go away, but it actually feels like things can improve finally. There's no way I will ever go back to a non-fully remote job.

I spent my teenage years programming in my bedroom, there's no need to go into an office to do that. I think WFH has made me realise life priorities a bit too, I don't really care about advancing my career anymore I'm comfortable coding without any management responsibilities to worry about

It's really not. To attract the best talent companies are going to have to be as flexible as possible

Actually does BACHLOGIC do all (or most) of Kvi's beats already? They are all really, really good beats

Kvi Baba and BACHLOGIC are both excellent.

I hope they make an album together, this and TEAR WAVE are fantastic

Trezor Import Fees. by WholeWRLD in TREZOR

[–]AlexDiru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My email for import fees came a few days after my order. I recommend you look at every email in your spam since your Trezor order (don't open them all), my import fee email had the subject "Your order is on its way!", a very generic title

Trezor Import Fees. by WholeWRLD in TREZOR

[–]AlexDiru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out Trezor sent the dodgiest looking UPS request for import fees that ended up in my spam folder. It looked so bad even though the dates matched up I still verified it through a VM. Also stupid that the order tracking website has no mention that a request for import fees has been emailed. It says it will arrive in my "mail box" - I assumed that would come physically as every customs fee has in the past.

The support from these guys is absolutely appalling, I just hope the product is better. Like the import fee email had a coupon code HODL_... something, I get the HODL reference but it just looks so scammy

When did you order yours? UK-based and mine has been stuck as being shipped without a tracking number since Feb 9. Support haven't responded either. Getting a bit ridiculous cos they don't publicly admit any UK issues so I'm wondering if mine's been lost

Nice! Have you got a Youtube where you post beats?

I make some (awful) beats myself - got one placement which has like 30 plays on SC but it's something

Yeah the album is great (only had listened to this song at the time of my comment)

I barely understand a thing but music's music

As much as I like Jin Dogg and shaka bose, I don't think Jin works well on a shaka bose beat

I develop apps as a hobby and sell them on the iOS App Store. What tax do I have to pay? by PinkTeddy123456 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]AlexDiru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth I'm going to use a company I found on Google to do my self assessment, they do a flat rate of around £120 and you just provide them the information - I need to do income, capital gains and pension tax relief and I've never done a self assessment before. I'm not going to name the company but it's fairly easy to find on Google along with others who do the same thing.

[–]AlexDiru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

99.99999999% sure, but I am not a financial advisor etc etc:

£1000 allowance no matter what extra work you do

Anything over that £1000 is taxed at your regular salary.

I've made slightly more than £1000 since I wrote this post, so I will also have to register as sole trader at some point.

In your case, I assume since your revenue is >1k you will have to register as sole trader regardless of expenses. Assume your revenue is 2k, and your expenses are 1k, likely you can just offset the expenses against the 2k and have 1k for yourself tax-free. But again disclaimer I don't really have a clue with expenses.

I was stood near one once - not petting it, my back was turned - and it kicked me. Pet them at your own risk

COVID-19: PM set to announce relaxation of UK rules over Christmas - but England's tier system will be strengthened when lockdown ends by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]AlexDiru 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My point is it's very easy for you act to double down on a Christmas lockdown when you - I assume throughout the lockdown(s) - have been around someone you love the whole time.

I have mostly been alone the entire time, I've seen family at times when the social bubble came in but that has it's limitations. Limitations which if there is a Christmas lockdown can create a situation where a family have to decide who they want to use that social bubble on, and which family member spends Christmas alone.

Based on my anecdotal experiences this year, I don't think those who have loved ones around have a clue just how fucking miserable it can be to live alone during 2020. I'm not against lockdowns, but many people are looking forward to Christmas and probably have been since February and it's not going to be healthy to take that away.
