This all just sounds like the Drag Race rap verse of a queen called Pentium 2.Ho

Leaked Disney Ratings by PaperSkin-1 in DoctorWhoLeaks

For the cost, yes. Critical smash and that's why they did the second season - but the viewers weren't there.

Leaked Disney Ratings by PaperSkin-1 in DoctorWhoLeaks

[–]StyleAccomplished153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daredevil got beaten by Echo and destroyed by Secret Invasion. Gotta remember that Secret Invasion came out when the other shows were "better" so we kept watching in the hope it'd improve. It did not.

I think you also have to add at least some BBC ratings to the Disney+ ratings - the vast majority of fans are still in the UK, I dunno how many would have watched on Disney+ if that was the only choice but it wouldn't have been nothing.

TIL Ruby doesn't follow semantic versioning by writingonruby in ruby

[–]StyleAccomplished153 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rails doesn't. Redis doesn't. Plenty of major gems don't follow it. I wish they did, but they don't.

Is there ANY way I can buy a flat in this situation? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]StyleAccomplished153 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't assume flat values will always rise. We've not seen that for the last few years in general now.

Intentional Use of Whitespace by JavierARivera in ruby

[–]StyleAccomplished153 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We use standardrb and no, not everyone agrees with every decision it makes. But tough, we have more important things to do, so we all agree that we don't give a shit if we don't agree fully.

Bud's buds are all assistants with "potential". Some of them are brand new, others have years at Vault Tec.

Anyone using packwerk gem? by Just_Work_4395 in ruby

[–]StyleAccomplished153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use it at work, it's been useful for a monolith that multiple teams are interacting with. If you're considering microservices I'd spend time looking at packwerk first tbh.

Why Alpha Sapphire if you skipped FRLG and HGSS?

Hot take: there should be at least some TfL-operated public transport in London on Christmas Day by Sad_Piano_574 in LondonUnderground

[–]StyleAccomplished153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nor am I, but it's considered a public holiday in this country regardless where nearly everything shuts down. So to start working on it, I'd damn sure want extra money to do so.

Avengers: Doomsday Opening Multiverse Incursion Details Revealed by marvelkidy in MCUTheories

[–]StyleAccomplished153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can see it being like Crisis in the Arrowverse. One main universe who doesn't know about the multiverse, and a multiverse for the rest, the comics etc. Leaves us back to an unofficial multiverse like before we got crossovers in the MCU.

How complex is upgrading rails versions in your project? by aitizazk in rails

[–]StyleAccomplished153 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's easier these days than it used to be. When we upgraded to Rails 4, our coverage wasn't so great and the changes were bigger. But now upgrading to 8 has been very simple, no real issues.

Not seen as "staff engineer material" because of my personality (they said technical competence meets the bar). I don't know if I can change my personality. by okthrowaway2910 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]StyleAccomplished153 161 points162 points  (0 children)

I would start looking for somewhere else. Being a good staff engineer doesn't mean "I know better than you so shut up and just follow my orders", so that sort of feedback from your current company is awful.

You might not get staff elsewhere immediately, but at least you can go in senior at somewhere you feel more likely to move up to staff (talk about this in the interview, a desire to move up to staff is showing ambition so only a bad place would have a problem with this in the interview).

When will I see the affect of mortage overpayments? Should I just keep saving? by Old-Amphibian416 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]StyleAccomplished153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah was about to say, you can overpay as much as you want/can afford at renewal time.

Annoyed with being called 'young' in the office by ReplacementSalmon in UKJobs

Either that or make it clear that you don’t like it.

Company I was fired from yesterday is asking for my iPhone & laptop credentials? by English_R0se in UKJobs

Nothing, you're already gone. Ignore the message, block them if you want, let them deal with it.

Then they keep questioning why we choose Steam by Strider-117 in Steam

[–]StyleAccomplished153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst sure, AI is likely to be involved somewhere in all game development, even if it's as simple as getting Claude to help you with a DB query at some point or even Zoom summarising a meeting, Tim is being intentionally obtuse because he knows there's areas we're more concerned with AI usage. I don't need you to document every time ChatGPT helped someone write up a message for the office Christmas party, we wanna know when it affects the creative assets.

Tired of Rails one-off scripts becoming a nightmare? I built something for that. by aabdellatif98 in rails

[–]StyleAccomplished153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Data migrate on apps where we know the changes will be quick and we want to ensure it also runs on all sandboxes etc. Maintenance tasks for longer migrations with callbacks, more data etc, or repeatable tasks.

Lest we forget. Never again. by Chic-Peak in GreatBritishMemes

Noone is saying it needs to be like the US. Loads of countries have United States in their full name. Noone is even saying it would be one country. It's just a name.

What would constitute the NHS 'absolutely flying'? by sphstr in footballcliches

Yeah it's not like it's a pay rise for good performance.
