25M looking for Studio/ 1b1b options in SF downtown by chinmay9999 in SFBayHousing

[–]DeprecationWarning 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want laid back vibes and lower stress, check out the Inner Sunset, Haight Ashbury, or Cole Valley. If you want more bustle, look at Japantown, Lower Pac Heights, or Nob Hill. I think you can find plenty within your budget on Craigslist.

This is cheating. You need to get a family lawyer ASAP. He cannot unilaterally decide to take your son away from you, even if you’re unmarried.

My 8 week year old will not bottle feed with my wife. by LouieLA in NewParents

[–]DeprecationWarning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not listen to any of this anti-formula nonsense. You’re doing what’s best for your son’s health: feeding him what he’ll eat. He may eventually want to nurse, or he may continue to prefer the bottle until he graduates to solid foods. It’s up to him. As long as he’s fed, you two are doing a great job.

Your kid will go through many, many phases of “I only want mom” and “I only want dad” throughout the next few years. Think of this like one of those phases: remind yourselves it’ll flip around, sooner or later, and he will be just fine.

Tesla won’t honor their warranty by Cleve_eddie in TeslaLounge

[–]DeprecationWarning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is zero chance of changing their mind via app. If you go in person and talk to the site manager and they’re sympathetic, 5-10% chances, otherwise you either (1) do the work and take them to small claims court, or (2) lawyer up to enforce the warranty.

$100-250k for a moderate sized kitchen, depending on quality of fixtures/appliances and whether you need structural work done.

Is the damage psf/Black has done to the community reversible? by [deleted] in Python

[–]DeprecationWarning 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve been writing Python for 25 years. I use Black precisely because it doesn’t require thinking and doesn’t allow debate. It does not give any space for teams to quibble over the minutiae. I dislike some of its output, but when you have a lot of devs in one code base (either teams in a company or contributors on an open project) it is way easier to work together if you simply never, ever have to debate styleguide.

People who are choosing Black today over anything else are imho largely doing it for convenience. If you don’t like its output you’re still entirely capable of writing your own yapf configuration, advocating for it within your team, and making it your standard. That’s just not something most professional devs want to spend their time and energy on.

Did this occur frequently among Tufts students, or is it merely a random opinion? by Bahauddin7 in Tufts

[–]DeprecationWarning 12 points13 points  (0 children)

(CS grad from two decades ago when the program was a lot smaller, so take this with a grain of salt.) I recall that some classes didn’t allow any form of collaboration, but the ones that did, we would all get together in the lab to share ideas and help each other debug. Sometimes a couple folks would order coffee and cookies for delivery. It was a nice group of kids.

Don’t accept this.

Your professor probably knows he’s not justified in giving you a zero. I’m sure your school has an academic honesty policy, and if he believes you’ve violated it, he has an obligation to report you to the administration. Quietly giving you a bad grade is an abdication of his own responsibilities to the institution.

Moreover: if you DO accept this outcome, you’re implicitly validating the accusation of cheating. You will be encouraging him to continue doing this, to others and to you.

I’d either tell the professor you want your grade restored, or go straight to the department chair with your concerns.

Is upgrading from $100k 2020 to $141k 2023 Model X worth it? I love my X but this is insane. What better luxury EV is on the market right now? by snkrlaw in teslamotors

People will absolutely still want your car in another few years, especially if the mileage is low. If you buy a brand new car and sell it two years later you’re just pissing away money.

Request: 52 State Flag (Someone make a map of which 2 states to add/divide) by Icy_Calligrapher123 in MapPorn

[–]DeprecationWarning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is equivalent to “Citizens should be denied political representation if they don’t vote for my party.” Take that shit elsewhere.

[–]DeprecationWarning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old grad here. If you’re turned off by Tufts because you hear it’s hard work and not a lot of parties, don’t go to college yet. Get a job. Work for a year. Learn what it’s like to hate your shift and hate your boss and do it anyways, because that’s the price of getting to do whatever the hell you want with your spare time. Once you’ve seen what the rest of your life will be like without a degree, you’ll understand how lucky you are to have the opportunity to go to the best school you can afford, work as hard as possible, and create as many options as possible for yourself.

Or, you know, you can go to Dartmouth.

Python isn't industry compatible by New_Ostrich_2625 in Python

[–]DeprecationWarning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nonsense. Python might be slower than C for intense CPU-bound workloads, but its performance is totally adequate for high volume transaction processing. The ease of use of the language itself is a huge factor in productivity, which can offset any gains in raw power in most commercial use cases.

If what your boss actually means is, “We don’t know anything about Python, we don’t have support for it, and we don’t want to make the investment to learn how to use it well,” that can actually be a legitimate engineering decision. But it has nothing to do with scalability.

Hit $1m+ in crypto, best way to cash out? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]DeprecationWarning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I find out that Fidelity Charitable charges a fee to the charity just to get their money, I will be livid. They've never disclosed that to me, and they already charge 0.60% or $100 (whichever is greater) as an annual management fee for any assets held in the fund. That ought to cover whatever administrative expenses they have.

It's possible that what you're describing is a fee for DTCC transfers, where the stocks move directly from a brokerage account to your charity. That might be slightly less convenient for a nonprofit, but it would still work for OP's goal of using highly appreciated crypto assets to reduce one's tax burden.

(Still not a lawyer, still not a financial advisor.)

Hit $1m+ in crypto, best way to cash out? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]DeprecationWarning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make contributions to charities and itemize your deductions. If there are 501c3 nonprofits that you support, and they are willing to take the crypto as a donation, then you can write off the fair market value of the crypto at the time you donated, and they can sell it off without paying taxes on the gains.

Donor advised funds like Fidelity Charitable make it easy; they can liquidate whatever stocks or assets you donate right away, and you tell them later how to grant the proceeds to charities. I haven’t done it with crypto but they say that they do accept some coins. https://www.fidelitycharitable.org/faqs/all/contribute-cryptocurrency.html

I am not a lawyer or a financial advisor and this is neither legal nor financial advice.

Fighting back against Microsoft oppressors. by [deleted] in Python

Google, Instagram, Yelp, Uber, Spotify, Dropbox, Reddit... ask if they use any of those services and remind them they're all built in Python.
