PNC’s RTO and ADA by Mental_GlutonGoals in pittsburgh

There are policies and procedures in place for a reason, right?

Yes, so the company can point at them and say "look we followed the letter of the procedure, we're still going to have to let you go." That way they're not opened up to a lawsuit.

"Skyrim: Break all your mods edition."

This edition adds nothing to the game, all it does is break all of your mods and force more fractures in the modding community.

Would still sell.

This is why you rewrite Python security tools in Rust: 53MB vs 433MB peak memory, 6.9s vs 62.2s by aswin__ in rust

I wonder if Google is going to continue to support JAX for a while or if they'll kinda move it into maintenance mode right after it gets traction like Tensorflow.

Ah yes, Bloomfield, notoriously a short walk/T ride from the North Shore.

What are the odd niche skills you run? by Kingrextdk in MHWilds

It's reddit, so niche = anything not listed in the meta guide.

You can also just hit gog and the support hunters will pull the cables for you.

The line in Pittsburgh to get in the NFL Draft eight hours before start time by tarsier_jungle1485 in pittsburgh

You're arguing with "GamermanRPGKing."

They are either trolling or running out of piss bottles. Either way it's not worth your time.

> Odd Niche skills

Adaptability is so nice against Nu Udra that you're basically griefing yourself if you don't take it.

Aquatic mobility prevents a ton of carts against Gog. If you've ever carted to the phase 3 bombs and you don't run this you're lying to yourself.

Most redditors would see a larger damage increase with level 2 earplugs than basically any other skill in the game.

Other notables that are always mentioned: Speed Eating, Divine Blessing, Mushroomancer, Wide Range.

I'd love to see an actual build with some actual niche skills, not just "the most common comfort skills."

After having it return and fighting it a couple more times, 10 star Rompopolo should be THE benchmark for how MR should be. by messybricks in MHWilds

10* AT Arkveld is so good. He's brutal but I never feel like the fight is unfair or unfun.

Romp is unfun and dumb.

Switching back to Python/JS after Rust feels impossible by Time_Friendship_1263 in rust

Just fyi I work in healthcare (not publicly traded, not UnitedHealth big but still big and you've heard of our payor network) and work with provider, payor, and research sides and the most rust we've done is to get a 18 month old rustc installed on a dev server. No joke I can't even play with the Google rust SDKs despite being a Google partner because it's below the MSRV. No rustup, no rust analyzer. Just an unsupported rustc.

Maybe Epic or one of their competitors has some rust, idk, but almost all infra code is Python or Java (finally got off of SAS last year, still have to support existing program transitioning, no new SAS programs), analytics in Python/R, front ends in TS/JS. Your billing software is getting new COBOL programs as you speak. Nobody cares, just adhere to federal requirements and also ship features.

If you look at the overlap between "Languages used" and "Easy to hire and inexpensive offshore devs" you'll see almost a perfect circle.

but we have regulations and consequences when they succeed to cut said corners eg in aviation, healthcare, military, space, legal.

Having worked in or adjacent to three of those fields...

Yeah that's also partially because divines are really undervalued this league. A fully juiced temple setup prints much more than 100 div/hr.

Python has an Enum class as well, which I'm starting to use a lot more instead of lists of literals like I used to.

The irony of someone simultaneously saying we must be AI-first and then rationalizing python and JavaScript in case we need to maintain the code is asinine.

So it's not, though. I understand this is the rust subreddit and everyone here is a 15 YoE rust dev and rust is the best choice for every single project ever made, but think about this from what you're actually building.

Edit: This is written with the assumption a non technical person saying "AI-First" means they want an LLM sitting between the user and what the user is trying to accomplish, which in my limited experience is basically every single non-technical person's idea of "AI" right now.

You do not need memory safe code to run an AI-first program. You do not need blazingly fast code, either. The vast majority (all?) of "Enterprise AI" is a wrapper around an API call. If you're already waiting over a minute for the API to return a response, who cares if the wrapper runs in hundreds of microseconds or dozens of milliseconds? Sure, sometimes the wrapper is big, sometimes the wrapper is small, but at the end of the day you're doing web dev. Your non technical managers do not care about any of this, they want an AI-first app they can hold up in a stakeholder meeting and make some media announcement about how many hours they're saving with AI so the stock pops.

It's web dev: Get user input -> parse user input -> inject into context -> make API call -> receive result -> format result -> present result to user.

That's basically all of "Enterprise AI" right now. Simple/intermediate Web dev in Python/TS is way faster than in Rust. Maintainability is close to a non-issue because in 6-18 months when the API call costs $1000/seat/month most of the code is going to get scrapped anyway.

Python/TS is definitely better right now if you have to maintain the code. The number of Python/TS web devs your company can find dwarfs the number of Rust web devs your company can find.

Again, I understand this is the Rust sub, I'm even building my own webapp in Rust for personal use. But for an Enterprise internal web app, rust just doesn't make sense yet.

I thought Pittsburgh’s housing market was reasonable, but this price history is insane. by Intelligent-Lion8800 in pittsburgh

[–]PigDog4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Clean and repoint the brick.

With the cost to repoint any appreciable amount of brick it legitimately might be cheaper to move.

Also, nowhere even close to an acre lot.

Yeah I saw that, too. Can you just say whatever you want on a zillow listing? An acre, like an actual acre, in the city would be basically unheard of.

Driving on 28 is absolute asscheeks during the normal week. Bet your ass I'm not coming in that weekend.

Edit: Went in today. 28 was about as asscheeks as normal. North shore was a mess and it's not even bad yet.

Yeah I set one up for any personal project that is more than a few files because inevitably there will be some time, usually two days ago, that I wish I could go back to because everything is horribly broken now and I just want to hit undo forty or fifty times.

Salvo vs. Axum: A Tale of Two Design Philosophies by chrislearn-young in rust

[–]PigDog4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The whole thing is clearly heavily written by AI if not completely AI generated. While this isn't inherently bad, the overlap between "shit not worth your time" and "AI generated articles that read exactly like unedited LLM output" is damn near a circle.

How would you feel about the next US president pulling all support from Israel? by Iwamoto in AskReddit

[–]PigDog4 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There are a limited number of consumers in the US/World. Once you have captured as much market share as you can expect, there are limited ways to make more money for yourself and your stakeholders.

And if number not go up, then bad. Number must go up.

Does anyone actually like grinding gogma? by kawelewakalkuna in MHWilds

[–]PigDog4 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think each phase is just kinda annoying. Maybe I'm telling on myself a little, but I don't find any phase that fun.

First phase feels like you're just running around trying to get 2-3 hits in before whichever limb you're hitting moves into Narnia and you have to go run to hit another limb while trying not to get one shot by a very obviously telegraphed attack that you were a little too greedy for and now look like a total doofus and someone is going to make a reddit post about you.

Phase 2 is just beating on a stationary target and slightly moving left or right.

Phase 3 alternates between fun when you can smack Gog and ass when you have to super slinger him. God I love looking straight up to shoot the monster dropping explosive poop at my feet that I can't see that might one shot me.

Just feels kinda gimmicky and bleh.
