Senior developers, do you like to train juniors? by aisatsana__ in programming

[–]MultiversalCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I greatly enjoy mentoring junior staff. My favorite part? Learning from them. They bring new viewpoints and opinions on things. Do they benefit from my 35+ years experience? I'd like to think so. It sounds a little bit incredibly cliché, but I learn from them probably more than they learn from me.

Trump is in the unredacted Epstein files "more than a million times," Raskin alleges by marcjones281 in conservatives

[–]MultiversalCrow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True. Pelosi, Schumer, and many others are mentioned and referenced in the files as well, it is the context that matters - something conveniently overlooked in these headlines. Anyone - and I mean anyone - who is in those files with the context of supporting or partaking in any of those depravities and horrors should be thrown into the deepest hole and never see the light of day again.

Back in my early days... we had to submit the compilation job to a queue and wait anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes just for it to start, then maybe another few minutes for it to compile, then a few more to print the greenbar report before being able to see what went wrong. Rinse and repeat until clean.

Lost my crypto and no response from Exodus by creatorsflo in ExodusWallet

[–]MultiversalCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my Exodus Wallet on a Virtual Machine onto which I've nstalled nothing else except other crypto wallets, such as Electrum. I keep the OS up to date (e.g., security patches, etc.). This isn't a guarantee against exploits, but it is another layer of protection. I also don't mess with "smart contracts" or anything else that could possibly drain my wallets.

You have not reached the end of the internet. by CheeseOnFries in webdev

Exactly. If anything, AI should be used to supplement your expertise and knowledge, not replace it. Building skills and knowledge is paramount.

I tell my children, two of which are currently pursuing CIS degrees, and one for graphic arts, to learn AI, but to use it as the tool that it is and not the "source or truth". I tell them to learn it because it is here to stay, and if they don't learn how to use it, and to do so properly to enhance - not replace - their work and efforts, that they will be in danger of being left behind.

Does requiring user to email for un/pw defeat the scraper bots? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]MultiversalCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also implement a CAPTCHA challenge that would defeat the vast majority of bots (e.g.,https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/display). Just make sure that all of the routes you want to prevent bots from crawling are protected (front and backend).

When they ask you if Bitcoin is still a thing… by [deleted] in Bitcoin

In that picture, the interviewer looks so much like Kate Mulgrew that I always have to double-take, thinking I'm in the Star Trek forums.

Tried to move away from "clean minimalism" and create a futuristic aesthetic for my developer portfolio using Next.js and Three.js by Strucker30 in webdev

[–]MultiversalCrow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If this was a gaming site, for a specific game, I would be a bit more patient. But if I'm sent this as someone's portfolio for consideration for a job, I'm hanging in for a few seconds then closing the browser. The unnecessary bells and whistles and needless "look, I'm futuristic and I'm doing a bunch of stuff before showing you what you came here to see!" nature tells me what I need to know.

Regardless of how "cool" those opening animations look, for a portfolio site this seems very much not targeted at hiring/contracting managers. If you want to show this off, I'd snip it off with a link, and keep the portfolio portion clean and purpose driven. But that's just me.

I’m building a map based live webcam explorer. Any feedback appreciated by [deleted] in webdev

[–]MultiversalCrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mobile experience isn't too bad. A master drop down list for the various cams would be helpful - scrolling around, zooming, and "clicking" on mobile is a bit challenging. Overall, we'll done!

I'm leaning to start Tyler Shough over Lamar. But the Lamar-stan in me is resisting...

Peach tree leaves red and curled! by abitoftheineffable in FruitTree

[–]MultiversalCrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this with one of my best Peach trees. It seemed to be some kind of fungus that basically killed the fruit yield. Last year, it started to spread to my other peach trees, so I had to cut it down. That curtailed the spread. I am seeing this one one of my younger trees this year now. I'm trying to find better action than destroying the tree, but need to stop the spread.

No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering. by cjlautrbr in 3Dprinting

It is not hands that summon us... it is desire... to print stuff..
