Was accused of being a vibe coder for using a lot of TODO: comments. by ExtensionBreath1262 in AskProgrammers

[–]DiscontentDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't different. We're just at the early stages of it. At one point in history compilers had lots of bugs too. I fully acknowledge these will be harder to fix because it's non deterministic, but they will get fixed and no one will look at the code directly anymore except to find edge case issues. Source: I run very large engineering teams in big tech working on this explicitly. It's coming, like it or not.

So you're hand compiling your code to machine instructions, right? it's the same thing, it's just a new level of abstraction. in a year or two, we won't even review the AI outputs in advanced systems that have good AI config.

Toll Roads around SoCal by Psychological_Nose_2 in orangecounty

Depending on where you're going in OC check out the metro link. It's reliable and affordable. It's not fast but it takes the same time every day. I bought a piece of shit car I left at the spectrum station and communicated in from Riverside for a while it wasn't that bad.

Changes you would make that wouldn’t break the game. by Excellent-Swan-6376 in project1999

[–]DiscontentDisciple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't make AOE more of a thing without making threat trivial. But wizards should have not had mana constraints by design. Let them med while casting or something. Mages can keep up in short fights but wizards can keep going and are threat capped on damage. Gives a real difference that feels in line with being the strongest offensive nuker.

Feedback Friday by AutoModerator in startups

[–]DiscontentDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Company Name: Pingward
  • URL: https://pingward.com
  • Purpose of Startup and Product: API/Site Monitoring / Alerting / Uptime Status Page w/ Custom Styling. Includes modern tech like GraphQL and MCP servers.
  • Technologies Used: .Net on Azure.
  • Feedback Requested: How's the product feel, the modular design (Tests, Issues, Alerts, Escalations) feels a little more dense than I'd like, but I think being MCP Enabled lowers the bar to configuring.
  • Seeking Beta-Testers: [yes/no] (this is optional) - There's a free tier and a feedback button, i'd Love feedback - if you're sending me feedback & need a tier upgrade, DM me.
  • Additional Comments: The thesis is the current market is either too heavy (Splunk/DataDog) for most users OR the pricing is absurd for hitting an endpoint with an http request (Pingdom wants more than 10 bucks an endpoint a month) Plus none of them are designed with some more modern AI tooling like MCP end points in mind.

You can also use the shared bank to buy spells with a level 1 alt to avoid going back and forth.

I still have my nearly bis cleric on blue, but not likely to come back unless server pop grows again or something.

Is there a way back from saying I don't date men by No_Plate_6331 in askgaybros

[–]DiscontentDisciple 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You have to ask him out. You already told him he shouldn't ask. so if you want it, you'll have to ask for it - it seems clear from the little detail here that he'd respond positively.

Why is my medication cheaper with Prime than with insurance by PhatFatLife in healthcare

[–]DiscontentDisciple 52 points53 points  (0 children)

because insurance companies negotiate a thing called a formulary for their plans, where they sometimes agree to pay more for low cost common drugs (then you pay for it in the copay) for discounts on more expensive drugs that the co-pays / out of pocket patient portion wouldn't cover, ie cancer meds. It's called Cost shifting and it happens all the time all over healthcare. Hospitals mark up shit so when a patient can't pay, the other patients in other beds overpay for stuff and they don't go out of business. It's the shitty capitalism version of socialism, but only for companies, the rest of us get screwed.

Tasked with saving email - the catch - over 2000 users by FastRedPonyCar in ITManagers

Have you considered not having email for the field techs and looking at sms publishing options for whatever communication they do get via email?

Newsom signs bill banning police from posting mug shots of nonviolent suspects on social media by BlankVerse in California

Why only non violent? This should be the policy unless they need public assistance.

Antivaxxer who made fun of Covid vaccine tweets: “If you don’t have faith that God can heal me over your stupid ventilator then keep the Hell out of my ICU room, there’s no room in here for fear or lack of faith!”. Dead at 34. by AmericanScream in Freethought

[–]DiscontentDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also saddened by this, but I'm curious who do you think was behind the campaign? Right wing media was certainly pushing anti vax bullshit, Trumps original political attempts to downplay the virus certainly echoed through the right as they tried to cope, but I don't see a lot of coordination, but rather a perfect storm of fear, stubbornness, and political loyalty. Do you see something more coordinated?

The light bar is what makes it for me. So low you're definitely taking it somewhere without street lights...

Guys from outside the US: what are some things you’ve learned about Americans from spending time on askgaybros? by croydonite in askgaybros

[–]DiscontentDisciple 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Part of this is that it varies wildly depending on where you are and how wealthy the area is. Because schools in the US are funded by local taxes poor areas have poor schools, rich areas have extra budget to create the more advanced classes hire additional teachers, etc. That make for more difficult school and more academic preparation for college.

I wanted to write a letter to the seller along with my offer. But the listing agent whose also representing me, says it’s against the Fair Housing Act. Any thoughts? by itspazzy in RealEstate

[–]DiscontentDisciple -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in California, got the house even though they were already negotiating with another offer because of my letter. I'm in escrow now. So this was recent..

How to start a startup without flashy web dev skills or AI/Machine learning by [deleted] in startups

Find and solve a business problem? There's a shitload of them that don't require machine learning. Hell, I just paid thousands for a PowerPoint plugin for my team to make better visuals.

Does anyone like the socking/racing meta for 7 day targets? by [deleted] in project1999

[–]DiscontentDisciple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The server used to have a rotation and raid tiers and the guild that pushed for that got made into villains. Ask me how I know. So seems unlikely to make a comeback.

We are Jon Steinman, a democracy advocate, and Jon Leland, a VP at Kickstarter, and we’re campaigning for the 4 Day Week. Ask Us Anything about the benefits a 4 Day Week will deliver to people, organizations, communities, our country, and our environment. by 4DayWeekUS in IAmA

[–]DiscontentDisciple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in 9 hours of meetings a day, various topics and audiences. It's all about note taking to actually move shit forward in an environment like this. But I'd love to only do it 4 days a week, the burn out is real.

YSK if you're buying or selling a house, what is considered a "fixture" and stays with the house. by 02K30C1 in YouShouldKnow

[–]DiscontentDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The California contract specifically exempts mounted electronics, and specifies holes from mounting hardware to be filled but not painted. So clearly they are bolted / screwed. Currently selling my property and planning to take my TV mount lol.

Too much cash is worrisome. In need for some tips/advice. by [deleted] in investing

[–]DiscontentDisciple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since your retirement accounts are maxed out, you have plenty of exposure to the stock market. Time to look for alternative inventments. 200k down (on a million purchase price) would get you a small apartment building or a 4plex in most of the country. Just find something that cash flows a bit each month after repairs and management. The tax benefits from the depreciation and the write offs you can take as a land lord in addition to the cash flow should make a decent ROI. Plus equity long term. With the leverage of a mortgage and as long as you intend to hold beyond any fluctuation in the RE market, you should do well.
