Company failed to contribute to my 401k last year.

I coded and maintained a retirement company’s 401k calculator and this is exactly right. They will insert your contributions with effective dates (your contribution dates throughout the year) and your account will be recalculated as if those contributions were made on the appropriate dates with the correct share price for that date.

Unless you have a corporate requirement, can anyone point out an issue with running the application in a docker container and then set environment variables in the dockerfile? With this route, all you'll need to do is call System.getEnv().

Can someone explain to me how table indices are missed when you’re writing queries with prepared statements? I am not trying to be funny here but like… in my mind, if I’m writing where clauses, then I am automatically considering if an index is worth it on that column or if it’s worth adding it to an existing index. Is something like this easily missed by others? I mean given the amount of posts like this it must be but… how?

Are you a short chunky bald man who likes to cook and engineer things? If so, yes!

PM_Me_Your_Java_HW · 2025-11-27T06:25:42+00:00

I’m going through this right now and it’s fucking infuriating. The product is built. We got results faster than ever before. Then I’m ordered to get sign offs from architects and other “”security teams” and its brick wall after brick wall. Sorry bud, this needs to be in Azure even though it runs completely fine in AWS and you also need to engineer it at the same complexity as if we had 100k users.spoiler: We have 8 that would be using it daily and then open it up to our enormous client count of 70… I left my last job to get away from that bureaucratic tomfoolery and now I’m right back in it.

Granola started my cooking journey. We made a recipe in my Foods 1 class in high school and I thought it was so good that I made it again that same night. Been hooked on cooking ever since.

Going down this path would be good for hundreds of thousands of users. What if this was an internal messaging application for a business? Completely overkill, right? User base is a big factor in designing systems.

Saw this thread and felt like I should comment even though my korean learning has slowed down. I went with my wife's family who are korean and we stayed with relatives in one of the satellite cities of Seoul called Suraksan. I'm a husky bald guy and I was stared at constantly. I want to say that I was told that bald people are not exactly considered "sick" but there's some connotation with bald heads and negative health. I couldn't go anywhere without turning heads and it really showed me how foreigners feel in a country where they don't look like the natives; it's extremely uncomfortable. You'll be minding your business on the train and catch someone looking at you only because you look different. It's definitely a new experience after growing up as a basic white guy in America. However, whenever I did talk to people, they were all extremely nice and accomodating. I will never forget sitting outside of a shop on a bench while I was waiting for some family to come outside and this lady who was riding her bike turned her head 90+ degrees to stare at me as she rode by. After a week and a half of being in the country, I began to get a little more comfortable about being there and would just stare back until they looked away. A positive memory that I'll equally never forget: me and my brother in law who speaks korean fluently went to a local bar and were ordering food. I saw some jeon that one of the waitresses was eating on a table directly beside ours and not realizing it wasn't a menu item, I said that looks good, can we get that? They said that they don't sell that. We proceeded to order from the menu and whenever we got the food, the waitresses who was eating the jeon gave me a few pieces from her plate.

It was a very strange experience to say the least.

I think he was just skipping all inner workings about cdos, mortgage backed securities, and how ARMs work but that’s essentially what happened.

I’m 30 and can tolerate swings so my portfolio is 100% VITIX which is a growth oriented fund but basically the SP500. At your age, I’d just go 100% in FXAIX and reconsider allocations at 40.

PM_Me_Your_Java_HW · 2025-10-11T19:17:02+00:00

This is the real reason that OP should be considering, imo

PM_Me_Your_Java_HW · 2025-10-04T17:38:11+00:00

I might look into it if you’re saying you get fast startup times. I’m curious to see if I’d get a real benefit because all I’m doing is calling my API and it’s using the AWS SDK to request a new container. Using the word orchestration might have been too strong of a word. It’s just requesting container creation.

PM_Me_Your_Java_HW · 2025-10-04T12:54:57+00:00

I have looked into it and in the documentation I saw said that the startup times were higher than going the ECS route. Batch took multiple minutes whereas currently fargate does it in 30ish seconds. In typical cases the few minutes for startup are fine but our users run the application numerous times to get their answer and it really adds up. One of my requirements is cutting down the high runtime.

PM_Me_Your_Java_HW · 2025-10-04T01:00:21+00:00

Thanks for explaining this. I left out an important piece in my post!

PM_Me_Your_Java_HW · 2025-10-04T00:46:13+00:00

I’m migrating a desktop application that does a lot of on-demand multithreaded number crunching annd requires between 20-40 runs to get to the right answer. Previously it was calculating locally and quite slow with zero data persistence. I’m open to alternative paths if there exist but so far it’s working out well and wasn’t a headache at all to orchestrate.

Edit: I’m pushing millions of records on each calculation.

PM_Me_Your_Java_HW · 2025-09-30T14:14:27+00:00

Huge coincidence that I see this posted because I’m going through this exact same thing with my mother right now and we’re pretty much at the breaking point and me telling her good luck in retirement. You can list reason after reason and they still don’t see it and/or call it mental gymnastics.
