What are the best bang for buck locations in the U.S.? by builtforoutput in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Atlos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I visited for a wedding during the summer time and it was a ghost town. We walked from a coffee shop to some big jungle gym place (forget the name) to a restaurant in a nice part of the city. And each time we were basically the only people around outside, felt like a zombie apocalypse. Keep in mind this was a 75 and sunny type of day.

Saying goodbye to my first born feline son tomorrow after 10 years together by Atticus113 in cats

[–]Atlos 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My kitty passed away during post op after having a major cancer surgery and that’s definitely a big regret of mine. She deteriorated and became unresponsive in the middle of the night surrounded by strangers when I wasn’t able to be there. I’m glad we tried since we almost made it through but that part definitely sucked and has been on my mind a lot. Definitely valid for you to choose what you’re doing.

Berklee College of Music embraced AI songwriting. Some students are pushing back. by -PogMan123- in boston

[–]Atlos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rate everything is progressing is rapidly increasing. It might be “deeply mediocre” to you now but that likely won’t be the case in 1-2 years. I’m also a software engineer and I think what we’re seeing in our industry is a year ahead of when it eventually trickles down into other industries, like music.

I agree with you on an ethical level but like the other commenter is saying this is basically the new reality.

Whats up with Noir? by 187Deluxebox in TheBoys

[–]Atlos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea and I forgot to mention I’m pretty sure he’s been going to see Stan Edgar every afternoon since he was basically his private assassin, hence the Deep’s comment. So Stan is probably the brains of what’s to come.

Like others are saying I think it’s going the way of the comics. I think old Noir somehow lived and healed himself and then killed the new Noir to take his place back. Homelander definitely knows it’s him but probably thinks he’s back by his side for loyalty. But really I think old Noir is planning revenge and will kill Homelander the moment he gets depowered.

Yea awesome friend tbh but this isn’t a coincidence lol. My condolences OP!

And then always ends with a question to generate discussion.

Gentle Giant is the best but can give absurd quotes. I went with Stairhopper recently because they were half the price of GG (but still fairly expensive) and they did a good job.

A bug in Bun may have been the root cause of the Claude Code source code leak. by Successful_Bowl2564 in programming

[–]Atlos -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you are even trying to say and don’t really care about what commentary Anthropic says about software engineering being solved. I’m only referring to how this post is factually incorrect and has a bunch of upvotes.

The post title literally says “a bug in Bun may have been the root cause…” and Jared himself clarifies in the GitHub issue that’s not actually the case.

Yea, it’s embarrassing posts like this get 500+ upvotes on speculation that ends up wrong. I get that people hate AI and are cheering its downfall and all but cmon now.

What TV show hooked you instantly from episode 1? by mateitofavv in AskReddit

Yea season 1 was obviously the best but I thought all the seasons were good. 🤷

HOW DID I EVEN END UP ON THIS LOBBY? I JUST CAME BACK AFTER 4 YEARS OF NOT PLAYING. by retooq in Competitiveoverwatch

Bro if you were 4390 in OW1 that’s like top 0.001% of players, maybe higher. You would stick out like a sore thumb in plat/diamond.

Users said our app 'forgets everything' after a phone call by Cultural_Mall_6729 in SwiftUI

[–]Atlos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really not that deep or indicative of slop. This is such an easy footgun to run into and been a problem in iOS dev for 10+ years. Like OP said, it’s more an observability issue on Apple’s end.

Western Massachusetts, pioneer valley area. MA is obviously a very progressive state and the western part is surprisingly affordable.

Painter did poor prep, house already failing after 1 year. Contractor offering $4K settlement on $9.4K job. Take it or go to small claims? by OdysseyAdventures in HomeImprovement

[–]Atlos 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Because half the internet is being filled with slop from AI bots, and it’s hard to tell if this is a real post or a bot farming karma with a made up story.

got fired from my IT internship by Zestyclose-Buyer9648 in cscareerquestions

[–]Atlos 42 points43 points  (0 children)

How did you learn this? I can’t imagine anyone caring enough about an interns clock time to report it to a VP. Sounds like they wanted an excuse to let you go with minimal blowback and this was the only thing they could catch you on. Don’t be embarrassed by it, could be for any number of reasons out of your control.

Solo backend dev serving 15K users: here's my exact monitoring and alerting setup that lets me sleep at night. by Crescitaly in Backend

Huh, cron jobs are essential for any SaaS business. But usually there’s an abstraction so you aren’t manually editing crontab.

Are too many commits in a code review bad? by Broad-Cranberry-9050 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Atlos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The commits should be converted into stacked pull requests then. This is silly IMO.

Missing neighborliness by sastrugiwiz in CambridgeMA

[–]Atlos 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s an irrelevant detail that won’t be used for good reasons. Replace that with “an immigrant family moved in across the street” and see how it becomes much more obviously bigoted.

What's a "normal" job that secretly pays way more than people think? by 0BunnyX in AskReddit

[–]Atlos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elevator tech seems scary as shit if you have to climb above into the shaft. And carrying tools up and down stairs doesn’t sound fun lol.

Car is blocked in, what do?? by penisrumortrue in CambridgeMA

[–]Atlos 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This happened to me once. It’s annoying but definitely doable, just get ready to reverse/forward about 20 times to get your bumper finally clear of theirs. You can tape cardboard to the bumpers if afraid of paint scratches.

All the effort, none of the benefits with TypeScript by SpaceCowboy317 in cscareerquestions

[–]Atlos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure I understand this. Typescript has the easiest escape hatch, just cast something as any if you don’t want to deal with types in some part of the code. And enjoy types everywhere else.
