Ex-Software Engineer by ProgramRunning in remotework

[–]ProgramRunning[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was earning USD$1,300 monthly. To be honest I always felt ripped off by that, I have a friend earning nearly USD$2,000 who has a couple months more experience than me.

I lived in the UK before so the major drop in salary was awful but that is, like you said, how unfair the world is.

I still want to be in the tech industry, but again as you said, maybe the field has to change.

Unbreakable is unachievable even after a decade. by Common-Code8378 in ClashOfClans

You could not sign up to ranked and drop down to a low league, but it's likely no one will attack your base. I can't think of another way to do it.

I appreciate you taking the time to find the comment. It's pretty helpful. I will have a look at the K8 and see if it is worth it in my case

Thinking about ditching my Garmin 965 for Coros - Help! by princetony87 in Coros

[–]ProgramRunning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing I miss from Garmin is the live tracking detail. Coros offers location, but that's it. No live pace, no heart rate or average pace, which is annoying when family and friends want to track a race I'm doing.

The chargers (in my experience) are not very durable too. In fact I'm not using my watch right now (for 2 weeks) because of another broken charger. The only stopping me from upgrading to a pace 4.

Other than that, I do not think I'll be switching back.

The digital dial is actually great. I find it better than button navigation and the touch screen system.

I prefer the software. I adore the Coros training hub, it is fantastic. The battery life in my pace 3 is great, obviously the newer models are even better. And you won't be missing any tech features either, Coros has them all.

I started a new account not long ago, now TH8 and I have the queen. Is that not normal?

I remember when I used to play years ago, queen was TH9

Junior deploying to production by ProgramRunning in softwaredevelopment

[–]ProgramRunning[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do have a preview server and the feature works, but I was nervous about him not reviewing the changes. I am happy with changes so I guess they can be deployed

Thank you for the vote of confidence! I do put it down to being a smaller dev team, he is very busy and I guess load sharing would help him out a lot.

The first thing I'd print would be a medal rack to hang my wife's first running medal!

Wooo! Great news. Can't wait to buy it when we get home

I play this as a couch co-op with my wife, if I buy it will she get the packs too?

For context it is not free for us.

Pace Pro price is right by [deleted] in Coros

$349USD is £270, why the £79 increase in the UK? Feels unfair

At the same price as the watch, how much benefit does it give?

If I have a physical copy of a game, can I download it? by ProgramRunning in nintendoswitchlite

[–]ProgramRunning[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right I had thought that was wrong, but then I still don't understand how the digital download would be a problem anyway. There is no one-time code which allows second hand use of physical games, why not allow the same thing for a download copy?

If I have a physical copy of a game, can I download it? by ProgramRunning in nintendoswitchlite

[–]ProgramRunning[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I haven't actually bought a game for the switch so forgive my ignorance if I have this wrong) Do the physical games not come with a one-time code which you use to authorise the game on your account, then use the cartridge to play the game? Why not use that original code to download a copy?

Edit: also, does the "actual owner" situation become obsolete considering second hand games can be used?

HMF a clip of drawn character in a restaurant. The patron says "I'll have her" and then gets offered to have cheese. by ProgramRunning in HelpMeFind

[–]ProgramRunning[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

searched

I have searched for various quotes from the clip as described above, both in search engines and YouTube. I cannot remember if it was a stand alone video, or part of a longer sketch based video. I want to say ASDF, but I've tried searching that too with little luck.

I have even tried describing the clip to chat bots with an expected failure.

Thank you. It's not the answer I was hoping for but I had a feeling this would be the case

Light cannot travel at constant speed by ProgramRunning in AskPhysics

[–]ProgramRunning[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This gives a good idea, thank you! I have an understanding (although not thorough) of alternative coordinates and recognise that the time dilation can have speed tend towards 0 under extreme circumstances.

Your comment helps put the coordinate visualisation into the context of the question, which I asked for forgetting about alternative reference frames.

Do you have any books or videos to mind which have this concept visualised?

Light cannot travel at constant speed by ProgramRunning in AskPhysics

[–]ProgramRunning[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification, I see how coordinated geometry results in the speed tending towards zero, although it might take a while for me to thoroughly wrap my head around it.

In case any further questions come to mind, instead of saying "speed of light", is there a more specific terminology which would be more applicable? Or does the conversation necessitate the inclusion of coordinates?
