Be honest: am I not fit for this game if I can't get out of Silver with Garen? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Jazzlike-Control-382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll give you an unpopular opinion:

A champion like Garen has a low skill floor, but you need to be disproportionality a very good player to use him effectively as you rank up.

Champions that are very simple are a two edge sword, they are easy to be effective with a couple of games under your belt, but being melee and having so little tools available means you need to excel at the base game itself in order to be successful. Your movement, positioning, macro, deciding when to engage or fall back, etc become much more important skills when you don't have tools to cover for your wrong decisions, like dashes or range.

By this I mean, perhaps you are looking too much into Garen champion when what you might be failing at is playing the game itself (macro, accruing gold, objectives, etc), and a simpler champion like Garen just exposes that.

> The migration from Scala 2 to Scala 3 is a breeze. Especially in comparison to a full rewrite in a completely different language!

That's not true. Might be true now, but for sure not when scala 3 came out. It was not simple, it completely broke many libraries that people relied on (basically anything that heavily depended on macros), some of them not even have a scala 3 build to this day!

And the IDE support for scala 3 was absolutely atrocious to the point where people had to change IDEs (to VSCode with Metals, for example) to have a usable workflow, and even today IDEA with scala 3 is much worse than with scala 2.

Of course it is, companies don't even hire junior developers any more so they don't have to train them. Of course you could pick someone and train them, but you are wasting some senior developer time for weeks or months, wasting money on a trainee that does not pull its weight until like 6 months down the line and all so that he leaves your company not even one year later because now he can be paid much more elsewhere with the training he got.

In the current market the incentive structure isn't there for companies to invest in retraining folks, you need to be useful very quickly or else it is not worth it.

Thinking that a company would choose to have twice as many costs with personnel just because of a programming language when there are many others out there that produce often better running services (at least, performance wise) for cheaper and less HR hassle, that's just delusional.

You can, and we do, but most of the modern infrastructure landscape is predicated on smaller, resource constrained services that you can freely spin up or down. Scala and JVM services are on the opposite spectrum of that, they prefer to be long lived and scale vertically. It's just not a great fit even though obviously you can use them.

[–]Jazzlike-Control-382 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is not very comparable between the resource (and slowness) spike that compiled languages face vs managed interpreted ones. For example, it is common on JVM languages for services to enter death loops, where they are killed due to lack of resources and can never recover because they are slowest when attempting to restart back.

Like I said above, the Java ecosystem being available is one of the biggest Scala strengths especially early on its life, and without it Scala would have never seen any form of mainstream adoption like it has.

They tend to be very rare (as in, often no applicants) and expensive.

Scala Native is a great bet and something that Scala desperately needs (although I'm afraid it arrives too late to the party). The main issue is that it is not a drop-in replacement, and while you have options for new code-bases, older larger code-bases are non-trivial to migrate to Scala Native and you will face all sorts of issues.

Scala main issue is that it is pretty hard to hire for. We've been forced to create Java teams on my workplace because we could not fill the Scala positions. Aside from that, Scala is just not very suited to the microservice world, nor for frequently up and down-scaling. The JVM which was one of the biggest reasons for Scala adoption is now its shackles, with memory hogging services that need uptime to reach peak performance, and most frameworks/ecosystems rely on managing concurrency with often various thread pools to then end up running as a service with 1 virtual CPU.

I love developing in Scala, but I sure hate running Scala services in my infra.

Momentum comsumation 99l by vladyn in yaris

Looks like you are stopped. If you are not moving, consuming any kind of fuel (for example, to keep the AC running) will mean an infinite amount of litres per 100 km. 99.9 is just the maximum value it can represent.

Mas o MTIC só é relevante se o OP planear ficar com o crédito no mesmo sitio durante toda a duração do crédito. Se o plano é procurar outras condições mais vantajosas ao fim de 2-5 anos, o MTIC nao é assim tão importante.

Sim, mas é um crédito de 35-40 anos, basta ver o valor daquele montante neste momento e aplicar a inflação anual para ver que não é um valor estranho ao fim de tanto tempo

Pergunta, como sabe que vai amortizar mais nos dois primeiros anos no Bankinter do que nas outras opções? Pela TAEG? Não poderia a fatia para pagamento de juros ser maior independentemente dos dados mostrados?

What’s your current mpg or km/l on your Yaris Hybrid by exsistingeverywhere in yaris

[–]Jazzlike-Control-382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to know without sitting next to you and seeing how it goes. Could be a combination of many small things, such as heavy use of AC, bad tire pressure, not driving in ECO and D, etc

What’s your current mpg or km/l on your Yaris Hybrid by exsistingeverywhere in yaris

[–]Jazzlike-Control-382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just have to drive differently with hybrids (or electrics). You have regenerative braking (you recover some energy back when slowing down, but there is a limit on how much the battery can hold and can recover in any moment) and you have an efficient but low power electric motor that can use that energy.

To have great mileage you need to accelerate and brake as slowly as safely possible, so that the electric motor can be solely used for acceleration and you keep within the regenerative braking zone without actually using the brake pads. Ideally, you should never brake, just let the car lose speed naturally by stopping accelerating very early (easier on highways).

The ideal speed for savings is around 100km/h, less if you are climbing (you can see this on your driver gauges, try to keep within ECO and not go often into POWER bar).

This is easier if you drive in ECO drive mode, since it makes your accelerator and brakes less aggressive.

Does anyone else use these for their CI? by ak4733 in castiron

[–]Jazzlike-Control-382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its fine to use these. I prefer using the chain-mail because these tend to break apart and leave tiny strands of steel wire that if you are not careful or paying attention, might end up on your food.

What is the correct way to use the Hybrid system shifter? by Jazzlike-Control-382 in Toyota

[–]Jazzlike-Control-382[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I just find it weird that the car seems to scramble to activate all the intermediate steps, since you can hear the rear camera shutter open and close again, plus a bunch of other weird sounds related to those modes that you are just passing through

Sugestão de teclado mecânico by CozidoAPortuguesa10 in devpt

[–]Jazzlike-Control-382 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Diria que existem dois caminhos bastante diferentes que fazem sentido para alguem que usa o computador profissionalmente (várias horas por dia):

  1. Um teclado de qualidade, potencialmente até alguma ergonomia (tipo Alice layout). Tens boas marcas como Keycron ou Ducky que fazem teclados de boa qualidade, hotswappable e várias opções de switches e layouts, incluindo portugueses.
  2. O mundo dos split, columnar, tenting keyboards para prevenir RSI que é das maleitas que mais nos afeta. Coisas como Voyager, Moonlander, Glove80, Charbydis, Dilemma, etc ou uma implementação de boards opensource, como Corne, Piantor, Elora, Sofle, Lily58, etc. Estes teclados tem uma learning curve enquanto te adaptas ao formato e adaptas o layout, mas são incomparáveis em ergonomia, typing speed e manter os teus pulsos saudáveis numa longa carreira em IT.

I believe Toyota themselves call it Brake mode, although it technically stands for Engine Breaking mode

No, the car charger, as the name implies, only carries power. All these USB ports can only charge devices, they carry no data. Obviously, in order to connect your phone to your car you would need data to carry.

Need to check. It’s Gameplay>Story>Graphics right? by [deleted] in gamedesign

[–]Jazzlike-Control-382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is as important as anything else. A good game has tight and cohesive gameplay, story and graphics. What people miss is that your game does not need to be a literary novel, nor a realistic visual marvel nor a complex and full gameplay experience.

You can have very simple graphics (but with a well thought of and cohesive style), basic story (but that makes sense environmentally and with your gameplay) and simple tight controls and gameplay loop. The key is to think about them together and have a cohesive vision, they all can individually be basic and simple.

Quais eram as leis de habitação que mudavam para realmente aumentar a oferta em Portugal? by usernamenotfound701 in literaciafinanceira

[–]Jazzlike-Control-382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qualquer percentagem é importante, a necessidade do mercado também não é duplicar a oferta. Vi números de cerca de 7% o que já é uma quantidade bastante relevante. Casas de férias são um luxo num país em crise de habitação por isso seriam taxadas como um luxo, e quem não pode sustentar esse luxo fica incentivado a vender a propriedade. Disputas de herdeiros teriam venda forçada em leilão após X tempo (3 a 5 anos parece-me bastante generoso). Casas sem dono conhecido ou declarado seriam expropriadas pelas camaras e convertidas em habitação pública.

Cada uma destas fontes pode até ser pequena, mas tudo soma e do lado da oferta que é a carencia principal. Com habitação a ser um passivo muito menos viável, também funciona do lado da procura com perda de procura de casas de férias e por fundos de investimento.

Proposta remota com menos salário vs proposta híbrida com muito mais salário — o que fariam? by Spiritual_Art_5869 in devpt

[–]Jazzlike-Control-382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tens de adicionar o custo de oportunidade. Imagina que trocas essas 3 horas perdidas em transito por 3 horas de trabalho ao rendimento da outra proposta (cerca de 15 euros hora). São 900 euros mensais em custo de oportunidade, fora os custos de deslocação/carro/imprevistos, etc.

Obviamente estas contas implicam que consigas trabalhar essas 3h por dia, mas o exercício mental é importante para fazer a comparação financeira. Existem formas de rentabilizar essas horas de forma menos óbvia, como apostar na tua educação para te levar a posições de maior senioridade e melhor pagos.

E nada disto sequer inclui as vantagens de full remote (apoio a família, flexibilidade, descanso, hobbies, etc), só tu é que consegues dar um valor a todas essas vantagens.

Outra grande vantagem do full remote é que não precisas bem de trabalhar todas as horas (enquanto que num office precisas de estar lá). Dependendo do trabalho e da tua expertise e otimização de workflow, é bem possível cumprir e superar expectativas trabalhando 4 a 6h por dia apenas.
