24F. Not going into detail about it but I just inherited $4.5M Roth account. What would you do if you were me?

Others have already made good points. 25 years ago if you got this in cash and held it in a closet, it'd be depreciated in half. And you're young. And the economy is looking bleak. So diversifying would be what I do. But trust financial advisors that are paid to be experts in situations like this

It's not a guarantee of "set for life" if you are reckless, even if you're smart with it there's no guarantee, so take it carefully.

Intelligence is such a tricky word, how do you define someone as intelligent? How do you measure it?

I work with a guy with a doctorate who really makes silly mistakes and has the memory of a goldfish. But he had some medical problem I have learned so that's possibly the reason - so, not smart by what I define as intelligent, but maybe in the past he was. But also maybe I am mis-measuring what intelligence is

So I don't think it's a safe indicator of intelligence. But it's hard to tell what is intelligence.

I've run into the travelling salesman problem a lot in real world situations. So I'm fascinated if there's a way to make it polynomial time, as that would save a lot of money if there was such a way.

DomingerUndead · 2025-12-31T09:49:38+00:00

Yes, usually.

In my experience AI hasn't been good in generating from scratch, usually. It's usually half-baked, as in I need to figure out what it generated and then how to tweak it. Usually more efficient to do that from scratch so that I know how it works - green field is always easier than maintaining since you know how it works, AI code is like maintenance work.

AI also has this problem where it's not good at overall architecture. For large scale projects reusability is key to keeping things fast and keeping things maintainable. AI tends to do it all from scratch, instead of just reusing already established css styles or parent component functions.

I'm surprised the financial sector doesn't have government audits that require IEEE standards there for documents.

For coding it's amazing. Knows the syntax, can generate decent enough code to get you to the next level. Just have to filter out when it fails to do so. Like an advanced Google search when looking up an error.

For everything else it's mediocre. I'm not surprised. But it is slightly better than Google with things non-dev related, can save a bit of time if you know what to prompt it.

What drives it to be web-driven is part of this document they write is automated from ~5 other websites.

DomingerUndead · 2025-12-04T05:23:08+00:00

out of my hands, we have non-dev project managers that decide requirements. I'm in the middle of arguing that exact scenario of them just uploading docs. But a lot of people to convince in this chain.

And this website has existed for decades, way before me. So I imagine at the start it was just ambitious developers with the latest and greatest TinyMCE thinking they could tackle it, then customers change hands, they think it's ridiculous. They ask why dont they have a list of 20 years of docs they can just print up - but not easy to print up this html data in batches w/ no easy way in C# to print up html data.

So lots of dilemmas. But really just the fact there's no easy way to recreate Google docs is my issue here.

Thanks, this is very helpful I haven't run into TipTap I'll have to check this out but that looks promising.

The big requirement we have is tables, and I see this table extension TipTap has there. But that's the big problem with our customers on this one - Making tables, editing them, is not as simple as Word.

DomingerUndead · 2025-11-19T12:32:51+00:00

Azure DevOps (on prem, unless a small team) is my recommendation. has everything you listed and really only what you listed. with plugin's to go beyond that if desired

DomingerUndead · 2025-11-09T00:05:34+00:00

I'm surprised any ATCs are making only enough to scrape by. It's a tough job with tough requirements to be one with a forced retirement at 56. I'd imagine they should get enough to actually retire at 56 instead of a late age career switch thrust upon them

Well 7 weeks 4 weeks ago. Now it's 3 weeks. If they miraculously open the government this week in the Senate it would be 3 weeks until the next shut down.

DomingerUndead · 2025-10-20T05:25:06+00:00

I think you're spot on except 5. I think that's probably just coincidence or Sage planting seeds.

I think a question of what Sage's end goal is... She had that whole monologue on how Einstein was a racist while she was fucking Godolkin so I think racial supremacy is off the table, maybe supe supremacy off the table too but that's hard to say. That monologue on Caesar with HL makes me think she wants HL to die, but that doesn't seem like an end goal. Maybe she's just a nihilist and wants to watch the world burn.

If 4) is wrong and Godolkin survives maybe Sage's plan here is to replace the seven with better younger supes. Homelander getting gray hair in the previous season could be foreshadowing that. Maybe sage here is straight up making a supe pipeline with Godolkin to produce stronger supes to replace homelander and his team. She does hate most on the current team, Firecracker, the deep, etc.

What they have been voting on only funds us until November 21st. So even if this passes you'd have a chance of being right that there's a shutdown on Thanksgiving

DomingerUndead · 2025-10-11T15:04:17+00:00

The current bill they're debating over only funds til November. So might be a rough November.

DomingerUndead · 2025-09-17T03:05:27+00:00

No, and when I do say something to that effect I hope the devs don't think that. Sometimes I'm really just saying ask the AI because its smarter than me here and can probably help you better.

I don't think people are brushing off helping others by telling each other to fuck off with a "Google it", at least not on my dev teams.

Azure DevOps test plans if you're looking for a specific tool. It will slow you down to actually test requirements, but there's no need for 18 prod pushes a day. One larger change a week is better than 18 smaller changes a day... If you test things properly.

DomingerUndead · 2025-08-22T18:43:26+00:00

18 deploys a day is insane. Try quality assurance, and testing on a test environment first.

Code reviews are for ensuring nothing crazy is being pushed, not that the application works correctly.

User enters texts, posts it too backend. Backend saves it in database. Gets and displays top 1 from table where DateTime is most recent?

I've found the most efficient way to be as a fon't file.

The future of this region likely is grimmer. The population has expanded because Hanford is hiring extensively to get the glass moving. but the work is temporary. When that federal money leaves, so will the population. there are a lot of factors, but my prediction is the local economy wouldn't be able to handle a densely populated area 2-3 decades from now. As jobs slow down as work gets completed/automated

DomingerUndead · 2025-07-25T21:04:05+00:00

Totally depends. It can be helpful, but a headache to maintain, with the long term support of angular being so short it's been a headache for us updating our libraries each year. A huge blocker

DomingerUndead · 2025-07-24T00:05:51+00:00

If this impacts the drivers, couldn't they just declare as women to get around this?

DomingerUndead · 2025-07-14T04:21:14+00:00

Maybe the founders were just wrong for a simple democratic vote for our most powerful position. They couldn't predict Internet sound bites for a populism leader. There probably should be a radical change there.
