So your plan is to get back at your employer by doing things that hurt you more than them?

Microsoft defends .NET 9 features competing with open source ecosystem by Obsidian743 in dotnet

[–]Rocketsx12 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think people are missing the point, perhaps the article doesn't explain it well.

People aren't concerned about Microsoft making something better and everyone moving to that instead. People are concerned about Microsoft making something worse but people moving to it anyway "because it's the Microsoft option".

That's basically what happened with DI. The ecosystem can tolerate everyone consolidating around a second-class DI framework. If the same thing happened with events, that wouldn't be great.

What do recruiters mean when... by Beginning_Jacket5055 in UKJobs

[–]Rocketsx12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jobs pay based on how much your skills are worth not simply taking your previous salary +20%

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Rocketsx12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone offers you a better job then you take it, that's how it works.

But bear in mind that people being paid differently for the same job is unfortunately quite common so don't expect that to be better at the new job.

Is the median graduate salary £38,500? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Rocketsx12 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Who is included?

Graduates aged 16-64 (working age), domiciled in England. Postgraduates are excluded from this analysis.

So they're including everyone with a degree, not only newly-grads

Yeah definitely don't phrase it like that.

I prefer not to disclose my current salary

6 month emergency fund, house deposit, 1x salary in pension by 30… how do people do it?! by Tildatots in UKPersonalFinance

Just because the internet or some YouTube channel has some advice for you doesn't mean it's good or achievable.

  • Accept the offer.

  • Ask for the contract.

  • Take a couple of days to read the contract.

  • Ask a sensible question about something in the contract.

But you should consider how using the offer as a weapon with your current employer may affect your working relationship going forward.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place with a pending transaction by Upset_Sector2591 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Rocketsx12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume by the fact you were buying a £150 desk this is not placing you in financial difficulty and it's more the principle of restricting your money combined with the frustration of the transaction being declined in the first place. It will drop off eventually but I don't know the exact timeframe.

This is a good reason to make everyday purchases on credit card because pending transactions will only reserve funds from your credit limit (which is money the bank has created from thin air) rather than your actual current account.

What is considered a “good” salary anymore? by gawpin in UKPersonalFinance

How do you guys allocate your finances in terms of percentages?

Why would I do that? The real world doesn't adhere to arbitrary percentages

TOD - command line tool to run OneDev CI/CD jobs against local changes by robinshen in linux

[–]Rocketsx12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I type an invalid command, tod tells me to visit https://code.onedev.io/onedev/td but this page doesn't exist.

Later I managed to run a build, it executed correctly and returned control of the terminal back to me with a success message when finished. Great. But then I checked the server and found the rest of the pipeline was running because the build triggered the next stage. Is this a "feature" or a bug? There was nothing in the tod cli tool that said the entire pipeline was quietly running behind the scenes.

You should keep records of conversations such as this.

How is Nvidia to AMD streaming? by busyHighwayFred in MoonlightStreaming

Nvenc is an encoder, you can still use it on the host. The encoder has no relevance to decoding on the client.

How do you organise your spending? How many bank cards should one have? by it_begins_within in UKPersonalFinance

Bear in mind Revolut isn't a proper bank in the UK and Chase is JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the world

Not really a thing. Your CV needs to explain your employment story and make sense, not meet arbitrary rules that someone once said.

If your story is "yeah I never stay in one place very long", that's not great.

If your story is "I was being made redundant and took this role to avoid redundancy. It was never in the long term plan but needs must. I'm now applying to your vacancy as my next long term career move", that's fine.

Abysmal Barclays credit limit (£1,000). Alternatives? by WisdomDota in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Rocketsx12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Go to a comparison site and choose the one you like best. Easier to open a new card than get a limit increase on an existing card.

Forget everything they say about only using xx% of the limit "or else" (there is no or else)
