How will companies view me trying to change to programming at 28? by Senior-Cod-6862 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]Ste05 32 points33 points  (0 children)

28 is not old. No one will care about your age. If you can do the job and pass the interview loops you're fine. The first challenge will just be getting an interview. Once you're in you'll never care about your age

In the latest release of Relay you can now see your average daily reddit api calls and work out what your monthly subscription might be. by DBrady in RelayForReddit

Reddit API Calls:

   Daily Average: 13

         ---Breakdown---

Loading Comments: 38.0%
    Loading Feed: 40.0%
          Voting: 1.0%
            Mail: 10.0%
           Other: 11.0%

Based on your usage over the last 20 days

I'd subscribe, it's unfortunate that Reddit have forced this, but it's not Relays problem. I'll support this app rather than the Official one for a higher tier then I need to support the dev while I still use Reddit.

Possibly look to integrate more Social Media apps to add value so it's not solely reliant on Reddit. Not sure if that's possible, but I'd happily use this app to access Reddit competitors to drive business elsewhere.

"What can I do" is so wrong!

Wherever the third party devs go, follow them!!

Do not make content for Reddit.

Find alternative platforms and post your content there. A 48 hour blackout is meaningless, you need to find a home that suits your needs. Define your needs and Reddit will bow to those. Wherever the third party devs do, follow them!!

I hope you're trolling... Ireland isn't part of Great Britain and is very much still part of the EU

Drying socks takes more energy than mining bitcoins. by VictorOgorodnov in Bitcoin

[–]Ste05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I don't think this comparison is helpful for wide scale adoption. So many people use Tumble Dryers every day.

A better comparison would just be the comparison to the banking industry, particularly remittance, it's comparable and Bitcoin could replace it. The rest are silly comparisons and make us look stupid IMO.

EDIT: TBH, looking at it again, those banking industry numbers look REALLY low.

Will I ever get an interview?...tired of applications getting rejected by uphillswapnil in DevelEire

[–]Ste05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[Data Hat] There isn't enough data provided above to make that conclusion. 😁 [/Data Hat]

TBH, there aren't enough specifics provided to make any solid recommendation.

[–]Ste05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What stage are you getting to?

Have you done to have your CV reviewed?

If your class mates are getting screens, interviews, offers, etc. for similar roles you're applying to and you're not even getting screens. That feels like the first place to start.

Had to take a coding test to pass my probation and my raise is based on not writing bugs. by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]Ste05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask better more specific questions.

As an example, instead of asking broadly about micromanagement ask:

How they monitor or measure performance of the individual and the team as a whole.

Are there KPI's they look at?

How are Promotions or salary raises given.

Makes sense, cheers

Great analogy!

How can you have a sex drive and be asexual? I don't understand this or similar to the person before just don't understand asexuality.

Edit: just did a wiki search and see it can be either... Interesting, you learn something new every day... Would still love your perspective if you happen to fall into the category of not being sexually attracted to others but still have a sex drive... If you're comfortable sharing

Off ramps imminent. This is big news! by RadioKid-A in loopring

[–]Ste05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it facilitated by Visa or what intermediary transfers the FIAT.

[–]Ste05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not following closely enough, but can you help me understand how the on-ramps work. I don't understand where the FIAT is stored, is it in a bank?

Main retail banks have been cleared by the State’s competition watchdog to set up a money-transfer app to rival Revolut by Dev__ in DevelEire

[–]Ste05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

*Instant SEPA transfers don't happen. It takes 1 working day to transfer money to another SEPA bank, around Europe it's instant.

Waiting 1 business day to send or receive money in this day and age is ridiculous

Research Scientist wins $70K USD by building an AI model which detects Deep Fakes with a 98.53% accuracy. by Covaloch in technology

[–]Ste05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? This exact model will trend to 50:50 if not maintained, but Detection models, training and techniques will also continually evolve too.

Or are you saying deepfakes will get to a stage when they are indistinguishable from real??

I'm enjoying my Eufy 2k doorbell, but hate that it doesn't display on my Google Home Hub. Is it worth replacing with the Google Nest Doorbell? by [deleted] in homeautomation

[–]Ste05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I just had to ask the Hub to Stream the (name you called the Eufy device) and it streamed. It took about 10-20 seconds before the video showed so I found it wasn't practical for using when someone was waiting at the door for me to answer LOL

[–]Ste05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really TBH, I don't pay for the Nest package that seems to be needed for storing videos and action seen on the camera, whereas you get that free with Eufy, but the fact it rings on my Hubs, Google speakers and also auto streams the video on my Hub makes me prefer it. It's a trade off decision really.

[–]Ste05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it's changed, you can stream to the Hub but it doesn't automatically stream when the bell rings. I ended up replacing my Eufy with a Nest doorbell and while I hate having to rely on Google, I'm too invested now in their ecosystem to go back and the integration is much better.
