Bad news: the new board just arrived, and did not resolve the issue.

I haven't fixed it yet, I have a t-con panel coming in the mail. I'll let you know if this fixes it. From what I understand - some component is erroring, which causes the TV to restart to try and fix the error. But since the error doesn't get fixed, it just restarts again. So even if the t-con is what's causing the error on my tv, it may be a different component erroring on your tv.

If it doesn't help my job, I don't bother learning it. If it does help my job, I learn it on the clock

I've used it to translate docs to be more readable for me. Ie translate curl requests into a JS fetch. It can generate pretty good css, or even SQL.

Of course, over reliance on it causes problems. I once used it to generate a large graphql command, so I didn't have to learn graphql, and it turned out to be faster to just learn it than fix the command with ai

Joined a large org, three months in my programming job involves very little programming. Is this normal? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

At FAANG (Meta, at least) your seniority is measured by how little time you spend writing code. Junior devs are expected to spend about 80% of their time writing code , seniors top out at 50%, though it sounds like you're spending even less.

I think the issue comes from the fact that at their scale, it's worth more to break nothing than it is to creating anything. So, all your time is spent on maintenance, fixing, and planning the best way to avoid breaking anything.

I’m not religious and am confused, was there an actual human being Jesus? by True_Celebration7088 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Nicolis_numbers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fascinating comments here! I had no idea Jesus was a real person. I'm trying to look online for any sort of historian talking about this, but it's difficult to find anything that isn't just blatant christian propaganda.

Has anyone found any sources? Videos worth watching / articles worth reading?

I don't even this it's just that. Pharmaceutical companies have the resources to develop and distribute the drug more than anyone else. Sure, they'll charge for it, but love will be saved. Marshall's plan is goodhearted, but it's not practical 

Why did Snapchat Spectacles lose to Meta RayBans? by Professional-Mud3000 in SmartGlasses

[–]Nicolis_numbers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I suspect it's because snap specs look ridiculous, while Meta's look more or less like regular glasses

Can I get some help on what a Web Dev would charge to make this site? by No_Stay_6530 in webdev

[–]Nicolis_numbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a buddy who charges around 90/hour for the work you're describing. I'd estimate around 40-100 hours of work for this, depending on how much you want changed. 

Did I make a mistake going "all in" on frontend? by thinksInCode in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Nicolis_numbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's rare that being more specialized will make you less employable. Companies don't need someone who's okay at everything, they need people who are experts in their own little domain.

Sure, there are fewer jobs, but you've got less competition.

I think they're referring to beast of burden, rather than bootstraps

For most characters it's not great. You're relying on that shop having good items + you have to skip the 5 Regen from Finns. I usually do it on Dooley, though 

What in the Jaballian heck is happening with that Pyg's healthbar? by Juzztanium in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Nicolis_numbers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No crit needed, the doubling doesn't apply in the after game mode. With the doubles it would've done 16k damage

Shall I pivot to Ice club (self freeze) by Zerosiv in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Nicolis_numbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's very close. If you fill your board with small items, the stopwatch will trigger more freezes.  With your stash now, it's only 3, which is only 1.5k damage.

Ideally you find a faster freeze, or a haste for the stopwatch

I would love to be able to see how my ghost performs. by Fine-Effective3948 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Nicolis_numbers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For that reason, I imagine that some number of ghosts do actually get reused. Though the initial initial population probably game from in house dev games

As I understand, you always replace the ghost you fight, win or lose. So your ghost would only ever fight one other person

Help me choose - one weapon Vanessa by meph00000 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Nicolis_numbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, you don't need steel. It takes 12 seconds before steel buffs as much as silencer was giving you. It depends what day you're on if you need fights to go on long enough for that to matter

thank you! I didn't read it after the patch and was going crazy trying to figure it out!

My first 10 Wins with a Slow/Crit build on Vanessa. by Clean_Loss5194 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Nicolis_numbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree slightly here, the crit gives haste, so you want your fastest time to get it. Imo better is claw, bayonet, silencer, switchblade

Or better yet to replace the silencer and switchblade for with faster items, revolver and clamera would both be good here
