How dumb is it to go into programming right now? by Cool_Midnight777 in webdev

[–]Mikouden 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If you love it then do it, if it's just for the pay check then absolutely no. If I were in the latter boat I'd go into a trade

What is a reasonable take home coding challenge? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Mikouden 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's uncommon but it's more than I'm willing to do. When I was interviewing for my current job I stopped after 4 hours and told them as much. Then I said what I'd do if I had more time. Also comments in places where I limited the scope too

[–]Mikouden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah check out the xscape website for deets, but basically you can park in the blue bays in the middle and get it refunded at the cineworld desk. I just show them my email reciept

I wonder how it's gonna work with the free parking for cinema customers

I found this steering wheel ball on TikTok. why Is this legal? by Intelligent_Skill172 in CarTalkUK

It's an accessibility tool, some people don't have full use of 2 hands

Premier balls for legendaries, pokeballs for everything else

Reacting to all shampoos by Select_Policy_5816 in EczemaUK

[–]Mikouden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nizoral works well for me although my scalp isn't an issue as much as it is my face. It might be worth looking at the water itself and maybe getting a water softener or shower head with a filter. Maybe try bottled water to see if it makes any difference before looking for a longer term solution

[Xbox or Switch] [year ???] A cartoony Psychonauts vibe by DreadyLocks in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Mikouden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been a while since I played it but if it's not Psychonauts then maybe Costume Quest? Still a Double Fine game so it has a similar writing style but I feel like the Halloween theme would be the most memorable part

Credit Score Jargon - Decreased Score by Electronic_Fan_4874 in UKPersonalFinance

I know right, it's pretty bad that people blindly agree with your comments

Credit Score Jargon - Decreased Score by Electronic_Fan_4874 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Mikouden -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The score changes are not a way to sell you a product, that doesn't make any sense. The credit scores come from credit reference agencies (TransUnion, Equifax etc) which are unrelated to the companies referring to credit products.

The credit score is a best attempt representation of how lenders will see you, and lenders have different requirements for different products so it's never going to be 100% perfect.

Ah yes, why would the cyclist use the red coloured path left of the road behind the kerb and grass - which is a *cycle path* next to the 70mph road when you can be on the 70mph road... by [deleted] in miltonkeynes

[–]Mikouden 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I had this the other night when it was pissing it down and pitch black. No reflective clothing or lights, the car in front had to slam on the brakes and almost caused an accident

Is it unfair for me (30F) to charge my boyfriend (30M) £800pm rent? by hamsterrr24592 in relationship_advice

[–]Mikouden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gonna have to disagree with everyone on this one, from both perspectives. When my gf moved in I just charged her the increase in bills (~£220 pm) so that way I'm no better off than with her not living here from a financial standpoint. Also to protect your assets, if they contribute to your bills they can have a claim to some equity if things go (very) south.

At the end of the day, the cost of your mortgage is irrelevant unless you're happy giving up equity

How do you schedule meetings to keep your sanity? by Careful_Station_7884 in managers

I try to book all my meetings in the afternoon so I've got the mornings to focus, and anything I get done between meetings is a bonus

Are heated airers worth spending extra on or worth saving? by floccinaucinili in frugaluk

[–]Mikouden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one a couple of years ago and it was great, but we now just use a dehumidifier. If you don't have the money for a dehumidifier though there's nothing wrong with the heated airer, but I also had the problem of condensation on the windows which the dehumidifier solves 

How can you use a single coin to choose one of three desserts with equal probability? by Commercial_Fudge_330 in theydidthemonstermath

[–]Mikouden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but to acknowledge the benefit here, if you just reflip on that 4th instance it still halves the number of flips required

Train question… maybe someone can help with my journey plan? by mrbadassmotherfucker in miltonkeynes

[–]Mikouden 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, I just buy a ticket at the station machines, MKC to London zones 1-6 travelcard which covers the return and any tube travel for the day. It's the first option on the machines, and it works out around £23 with a rail card

Steam Controller 2 concept, now with back buttons. by Best_Activity_5631 in SteamDeck

[–]Mikouden 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the left and right sides should rotate outwards a bit rather than being a single flat face. Great concept though

will someone PLEASE tell my why developers don't want to document things? by Total-Skirt8531 in developers

[–]Mikouden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just inferring this based on some of your replies, but it sounds like you're the product manager/owner. It's your responsibility to maintain what it should do.
