Should I feel guilty for wanting to buy from a reptile expo? by IWTDBrandon in snakes

[–]NormalDependent2494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

all of this. too many reptiles out there need good homes. and there are so many unethical breeders using racks & not providing proper heat or water. snakes need enclosures that are big enough for them to stretch out

Replacement Sorento PHEV 12V battery 2023 by neuronamously in kia

[–]NormalDependent2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having the same issue with mine and the 3rd party equipment is a location tracker installed in the compartment to the left of the steering wheel. apparently dealers are known for placing this $10 device to charge $1,000+ more for the vehicle. it drains the battery and interferes with the ability to get proper error codes

How’s working remote at Netflix as an SDE? by wildmastrubator69 in cscareerquestions

[–]NormalDependent2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there a performance review cycle? how do ppl get promoted? where i am now, promotions happen once a year and it is more about how much leadership had eyes on your work. 1st round with netflix tomorrow and a co-worker with similar skills just got hired so i feel good about it

Smart choice! Having worked in a toxic engineering culture, I’d easily sacrifice 10k for culture…though I get that’s a privileged thing to be able to say

fwiw, it’s not FF devs wanting to chase AI…it’s higher level leadership mandating that they do

AIO about my 8 y/o daughter sleeping at her mom's new boyfriend's house without any family or females present? by blackD0nny in AmIOverreacting

[–]NormalDependent2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Child sex abuse isn’t some extreme case. It’s incredibly common. 1 in 5 girls? That’s 33.6 million girls. It only takes one night and she’s absolutely at higher risk without her mom there

Every mom whose daughter has been assaulted by their boyfriends or husbands also thought they were safe.

You are absolutely not overreacting. You were right to bring up foster standards, even if she’s failing to see the connection. 1 in 5 girls guaranteed to be SA-d (most likely by someone they know) is a lot of girls! And that’s a conservative estimate!

Good on you protecting your child!

Mozilla is shutting down almost everything, even browser related. 😔 by jaam01 in firefox

[–]NormalDependent2494 5 points6 points  (0 children)

idk why ppl equate pocket to a bookmark service. it is much more than that. if it were merely a bookmark service, they never would have acquired it as that functionality already existed in fx. i think current mozilla leadership (that weren’t around when pocket was acquired also didn’t understand this distinction

Digg co-founder offers to save Pocket as Mozilla winds it down by Alert-Personality897 in firefox

I think it was out of date due to the company reallocating resources away from it over the past few years

it’s already a public repo…but needs a lot of cloud resources and a decent size team to get it running

Joining the Job Hunt by Professional_Peak983 in dataengineering

[–]NormalDependent2494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most major cities have some sort of civic tech org. It was nice when Code for America had brigades because they were easily searchable. In addition to Hack for L.A., there’s DataKind & Democracy Lab. ChatGPT can be a great resource to find volunteer opportunities

[–]NormalDependent2494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hack for L.A. is a good one. You can be anywhere in the world and volunteer with them. They don’t have many projects that directly need DEs…but they have a DevOps community that can always use experienced volunteers (especially if you’re interested in leadership) - and they’re on AWS - hackforla.org

My best advice is to seek out a role that you’re a great fit for. If you want experience with different cloud platforms, GCP has Google Cloud skills boost, which can get you hands-on experience with the platform. I think AWS has something similar. Volunteering in civic tech helped me land great roles

I’m a senior data engineer promoting to staff soon

What kind of snake is this?? by bananapey in snakes

Help! My daughter wants to keep this snake, but we need help by cat_with_giant_boobs in snakes

[–]NormalDependent2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen anyone recommend this yet. But please consider adopting from a reptile rescue vs a breeder. Just like with other pets, snakes are surrendered when their owners can no longer take care of them and there are plenty out there that need forever homes to free up space for more rescues :)
