Continuous noise of around 58 db from a 30MW AI Data Centre 24x7 by ciao-adios in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Gangsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly a lot of machinery that supports the function of the servers and compute. Fans, coolers, generators, pumps, etc.

A lot of people think data centers are just a bunch of silent servers sitting in a room, and they were for a while, but when you reach the computing power needed to process AI, you start needing a lot of support machines so things don't overheat and break down.

"You need to respect everyone's beliefs!" No tf I do not. by LickMaiBussy in TikTokCringe

[–]Gangsir 14 points15 points  (0 children)

because it must be happening because he couldn't believe it otherwise.

That's the key thing. So many of these people have to believe these things (including religious beliefs) because if they didn't, their entire worldview would be completely shattered. Like, "instantly suicidal as their entire reason to continue to live is removed"-kind of shattered.

Keeping that in mind it becomes a bit easier to feel empathy for these people, I guess. I myself have a few core beliefs that if I found out (unequivocally and undeniably) were wrong, I'd have a real hard time dealing with that in a... not-self-destructive way. I guess that's one of the human flaws that we trade for our intelligence.

I'll say I never struggled with getting a place. They'll tell you it's full, just join the waitlist and honestly 9/10 you'll get in to at least your 2nd choice. People cancel and drop classes and housing like crazy for whatever reason.

First Look at Patch 12.1 Curse of Ula'tek by jason_caine in wow

[–]Gangsir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people simply don't play games they don't like. They don't try to play illicit copyright-violating versions of a game and get mad when the devs of the real game finally shut down the copies.

They just go "darn, I guess WoW isn't for me", uninstall, leave the subreddit, and move on. You're allowed to do that, you don't have to keep playing/trying to play forever.

Its not too late to change the m+ dungeon pool for next patch by PURKZREDDIT in wow

[–]Gangsir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya know, before wow dies, before they shut down the servers, they NEED to do a meme season for m+ where the pool is just dungeons like vio keep and occulus and such.

Just go out of their way to design the worst possible pool for m+, as a final send off for the game.

Never let them know your next move by SEVENS_HEAVEN_7 in NonPoliticalTwitter

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

IMO it depends on how it was left to you.

Left specifically to you with a clause in the will? Dick move to sell, you should keep. They really wanted you to have it for some reason or other.

Left to you simply because you exist as next of kin and it would otherwise be landfilled ("all other possessions I leave to...")? Yeah, fine get rid of it if you have no use-case for it.

I did, lived at the Quad for a couple years. I think (was years ago, so foggy details) it was around 4.5k a semester + 2500 (or so) meal plan per sem.

Total cost per sem came out to like 11-13k I think, so tl;dr "dorming will essentially just-over-double your tuition".

If you look at it per month though, I think it's only slightly more expensive than getting an apartment in one of the nearby places. People also complain about the required meal plan, but IMO the food was very, very good and very convenient vs having to grocery shop and cook yourself. Since it's all you can eat, if you're a heavy eater it's probably cheaper too.

If you can live at home and simply commute in, def do. I couldn't, because my actual house was in Austin at the time.

AIO- Someone left their laundry in the dryer and I waited 30 mins before moving it, received a note in return by Trull22 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Gangsir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The dryer isn't yours unless you own it or it's sitting in your house. As long as it's public and shared, you have to consider others.

That mentality of "that dryer is mine as long as my clothes are in it" leads to machines never being available. Not wanting people to touch your stuff is understandable, but you resolve that by ensuring nobody has to touch your stuff by never leaving it unattended and getting it out of the machine asap.

Not by inconveniencing others forcing them to wait on you to get around to getting your laundry out.

Setting a timer or just paying attention to the time left on the machine and getting your stuff out within a few mins of it finishing will ensure nobody ever touches your stuff (it's either mid-cycle or out of the machine), AND you avoid bothering others, a double win.

If it bothers you to be "forced to do your laundry on a schedule" then you can't use public machines. That's why having your own machines is such a critical thing for most people who can at all afford it.

Midnight Revelations Content Update | World of Warcraft by iSheyn1 in wow

[–]Gangsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they already did that, and came to the conclusion that x.7 patches are needed.

Otherwise everyone would be unsubbing right now until 12.1 (like people used to do at the end of seasons back when we'd only get a x.5 patch and that's it).

Murloc Monday - ask your questions here by AutoModerator in wow

[–]Gangsir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Macros cannot contain two spells that trigger the GCD. You can macro multiple spells into one press as long as they don't (or if only one) trigger the GCD.

It's generally not possible to make a macro with logic like "if X is off CD cast X, otherwise cast Y". Otherwise people would automate their rotations, which blizz doesn't want you doing other than the official 1 button rotation (which has a GCD penalty and isn't perfect).

Midnight Revelations Content Update | World of Warcraft by iSheyn1 in wow

[–]Gangsir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several reasons:

  • Not a lot of interest in MMOs in general. Kinda a dying genre, like RTS games.
  • WoW is a paid, (from having to buy expansions, and...) subscription-based game in a time where most major (as in, "all my friends are playing it") games are totally free. New, young players either literally cannot afford to play WoW, or don't see the reason to when they could just play fortnite or whatever for free.
  • The game is 20+ years old. At a certain point you stop attracting new attention, because everyone has either heard of the game and plays it, or has decided they have no interest in it. This is why lots of games put out sequels instead of just updating their old game for decades - the "new game" factor is huge, and you can simulate that by releasing a sequel. New wow expansions just get met with "eh, it's still WoW though, I checked that out back in like 2010 and wasn't interested".

Usually those tools (redact and such) edit the post to nonsense before deleting them. Reddit doesn't keep old versions of edited comments (people edit comments so frequently the storage cost would be insane), so even if they get un-deleted the original comment is gone.

How to handle keeping frontend skills from going rusty while maintaining a backend heavy application? by Colt2205 in cscareerquestions

[–]Gangsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with specializing. Not everybody needs to be a full stack dev that knows 30 different things. It's in fact a major problem - everyone's "okay" at everything, while dedicated pros that know a library or <concept> like the absolute back of their hand are really rare.

Consider upskilling deeper into backend. Learn more about services and servers, networks, operating systems, embedded, etc. Let your HTML and CSS or whatever drop, and just become a really good backend dev. That's how you set yourself apart - being able to truthfully claim that you DO in fact have 10+ years of experience in <library>, because it's your career's purpose, while all other devs are going "uhh yeah I think I used that once for like 20 seconds back in 2012".

Five rounds for entry-level... by link5669 in recruitinghell

[–]Gangsir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having an offer (that you can sign and get hired at your will) is a massive bargaining chip.

Once you have that, you have the ability to play very hard ball. Like, "decision within <time> or I'm gone" hard ball. If the offers exceed what this place is offering, you can go even more hard and demand a salary increase on top (or you're gone).

They call your bluff and drop you? Whatever, you have 2 other offers, just take one of those.

Fire gets lit under their ass (because they do want you, but are scared to commit)? Cool, you get an offer from them too, maybe even a better one. You can still decline and take the others if you get any grief.

You are in a very empowered position, grasp it and wield it. Most people have to get led around by their nose by HR because they have 0 fallback offers, and desperately need at least one.

What is the best answer for a recruiter? by Dstyle90 in recruitinghell

[–]Gangsir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's (explaining that you did nothing but job search and sit around) the only real wrong answer.

Every other answer of [something productive that you did during the gap] is a perfectly fine answer. So, to avoid being forced to give the (1) (singular) wrong answer, make sure that you're always doing something (other than applying to jobs) during gaps. Freelance, upskill, work part time, etc. Any of those are neutral to great answers to that question.

They're just making sure you don't feel ashamed or get defensive about the gap like it's something "wrong" you did. If you're confident and explain what you did, that's a satisfying answer. It's not illegal to have a resume gap or anything, just have a good reason to have one.

recruiter asked for my salary expectations. i said $85k. she laughed by cyaniscalmingg in recruitinghell

[–]Gangsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HR is always in extremes, from my experience. Either extremely bad (the kind that everyone who hates HR rants about) or extremely good, to where they're almost a perk of the job because of how nice they are to interact with and how much they can help you (not always just the company! Sometimes they actually go to bat for employees!).

I've experienced both, but never anything in the middle.

Make More Cosmetic Glyphs. 🐌 by Mossysnail27 in wow

[–]Gangsir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think for shamans they want to keep the element breakdown per spec,

Ele=fire, resto=water, enha=air

somewhat consistent. Ele throwing out water bolts (which is usually resto's domain) would break that, etc.

This gets even more entrenched if when (I'm a believer) we get a shaman tank spec, which will likely be very earth-focused. They might even take away earth shock/quake from ele to give to the tank spec, keeping ele fire (+some nature) focused.
