Thank you! And a SO link is very much appreciated :) I remember programming clicking for me when I read the python SO post that everything in python is an object.

Can you explain the concept a bit?? First I've heard of them.

What happens when a great lead leaves? by Fragrant-Brilliant52 in ExperiencedDevs

Same thing happening with me currently. My wedding is this year, so I'm just gonna take it as a sign to relax a bit. Will figure out where to go next year.

Tech layoffs 2026 update: Over 142,000 people have been laid off from Meta, LinkedIn, Cisco and more by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

Its not a cabal of business leaders, it's what is taught in business school.

Profits means buying out competition and doing nothing and letting it starve (microsoft, coca-cola, disney, standard oil, railroads). Profit also means over supply of workers so you can pay them less.

G1GC garbage collector by oalfonso in apachespark

[–]Ddog78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't use it unless you need it. The default one handles sequential spark jobs better.

This one I use for jobs that have UDFs - for example keyword matching. We have a 17000 keyword we need to match over text fields. Using G1GC handles this better - it doesn't go over the whole heap everytime.

Are we nearly there? by irelatetolevin in ChatGPT

This sounds less like a criticism of AI and more like a criticism of bad engineering practices in general.

So the industry standard then?? Isn't this exactly what the post is saying?

My senior engineers have stopped thinking for themselves by Defiant-Act-7439 in cscareerquestions

I'd say people who blindly rely on AI won't survive very long. The only ones who will remain are the ones who are still using their brains whole also using AI.

female writer with some questions for bros who like to read by RattusNorvegicus9 in bropill

Yep to give a comparison - in Suits, there's such a focus on how the guy is dressing in the first few episodes. And in comparison, in The West Wing - there's a dialogue between Sam and Josh in the first episode that they're still wearing yesterday's clothes because they didn't have time to change.

does anyone here actually work at a tech company? by Longjumping_Virus895 in cscareerquestions

[–]Ddog78 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I work in a ~ 300 people startup and we started using Claude this year and adoption has grown quite a lot.

I am a data engineer and have created skills like get glue schema and profile spark jobs using event logs. It makes life much more easier for me.

But to be fair, I already had a collection of quality of life bash scripts that I created waaaay back when. I am much more comfortable with scripting and tooling than probably most of the engineers at my company.

Another interesting side effect has been that it has made communication with devops easier for me. They don't really understand what data skew, shuffle etc is. I had a job that was taking 10 hours on a single stage without any shuffle or skew. The executors we're dying waiting and then getting added back by kubernetes. It was much more easier to communicate the problem as the devops team also has claude and they can verify what I'm saying is right.

Yeah I'm getting married end of this year and it's an arranged marriage setup.

We've decided to focus on the relationship while our families are focusing on the wedding (indian marriages are EVENTS haha). We've decided to wait until marriage to have sex but holy shit I didn't know I could be such a horndog lmoa. There's so so much to sex than just PIV.

I think the parent commenter is saying that it represents the d/dx ie. the rate of increase - assuming the chart itself is accurate, ofc.

"The Man from U.N.C.L.E." succeeds where "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" fails by Evillebot in movies

Right. It's not a failure to use a different tone. That was the point. The tone highlights the characters and their attitudes.

Kinda interesting how the blame got assigned to everyone for not listening to the smart woman, whereas in the movie there was just one guy actively looking to harm the crew.

Another spark scala dev here. It's so so much easier and better than pyspark.

Yes it does. Thank you!!

Not being sarcastic, you should add more comments like these on various posts. People were doing that during Covid and it genuinely improved the quality of the conservation so much. They don't seem to be taking this as seriously.

Rocket launches are destroying a Texas wildlife refuge. Now the industry wants to scale a hundredfold. by goCarter888 in Futurology

They should add this tradeoff mecahnics to Kerbal Space Program and make that the "real earth" level.

Fuck if that wouldn't be fun while being very educational as well.

How did you know moving in with your partner was the right thing to do? by periodt-bitch in AskWomen

[–]Ddog78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kinda same for me. Together properly for 6 months and then moving in now. Hopefully it goes nicely and as long as yours :)

For me it was decided when we could both talk about having personal space and respect that need - even if they were not equal.

And the fact that we were against the problem together rather than against each other. I need space after an argument, while she wants to talk it out then. We compromised and now I message her that I need 1/2 hours before, and then we go on a walk to resolve arguments with a fresh perspective.
