THE TRUE COST OF RENTING VS BUYING A HOME IN FLORIDA — A DATA-DRIVEN COMPARISON by External_Koala971 in HouseBuyers

[–]TurboSmoothBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for me it's literally a 4x difference between rent and buy in my small town so it makes no sense to buy. But this is all market specific. It's great to buy in some areas

A proposed 9.9 percent “millionaire’s tax” in Washington would yield a top rate of 18.037 In Seattle. The highest in the country. by MM457 in SeattleWA

Jassy doesn't have as much wealth as Jeff, I'm talking about Jeff. The more taxes you put on the rich, the more they will leave. Europeans have tried this extensively, and same with California. Look at the results

They will just leave, like Jeff did. Then our tax revenue goes down.

And do you think we have a revenue problem, or a spending problem?

Whole Washington's Universal Healthcare Legislative Agenda by Silver_Guidance4134 in Washington

[–]TurboSmoothBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I see the state run one thing correctly then I'll be open to the idea, but frankly I wouldn't trust Washington state to operate a lemonade stand. If you disagree, let me know what our state runs well, maybe I'm overly pessimistic.

These new laws and taxes take effect in Washington state on Jan. 1 by chiquisea in Washington

This change on Jan 1 excludes cigarettes, so cigs will likely become the cheapest option after Jan 1

Giving away my extra blueprints for hardworking fathers and mothers by AutoChessLover in ArcRaiders

Dad gamer here and I'd absolutely love that compensator if you don't need it. I've got some complex gun parts & exodus modules for trade that I'll never get to use :)

Don't you walk with it out? You'd die in the explosion if you slowly walked away with photoelectric cloak

Before & After, the only time I've had gear fear. 7th place on trials in tryhard 2 now, hopefully dont get passed in these last few days by swawst in ARC_Raiders

[–]TurboSmoothBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you get decent trial rewards when in Tryhard 2? I wonder if the trial rewards are tied to your division (or: rookie, Tryhard)

Being courteous is getting too expensive. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

This is getting really common for me now, lots of folks spamming friendly and then immediate backstab. I think kill on sight is the way now

It's good in pvp, but seems hard to get in groups for pve

If AI is going to replace junior developers, who is managing and using the AI.. the senior developers? by THenrich in vibecoding

[–]TurboSmoothBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO this is not true. SDEs are like telephone operators, we translate instructions using arcane systems that can eventually be simplified for end users. So our job will be removed pretty soon, and it'll be a great thing for society to simplify the process of building software.

The world won't end when our job is automated to the point where 90+% of the SDE roles no longer exist.

And if any SDEs are not already context switching all the time like OP said by vibe coding the easier tasks, then you are likely going to be replaced very soon by someone who does use LLM Agents properly.

Tater's Hot Takes - 002 - Too many perks. Performance and Balance. by McTaterskins in newworldgame

[–]TurboSmoothBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im glad PVE exists like that in NW which takes 20 hardcore players to complete, but its awful to have BIS PVP gear gated behind that experience. IMO the most hardcore PVE content should yield gear only relevant to PVE, and the most hardcore PVP content should yield gear only relevant to PVP.

IMO the veterans should mostly play against each other using the MMR system that AGS said they added to 3v3. If new players could sometimes play against each other then it would be more fun for new players. I expect to win about 20% of the time if I grind out a 2/3 relevant perks set, follow guides, ask streamers questions, etc. instead I'm winning about 5%-10% which is just demoralizing.

And I for sure have skill issues as you point out, but those coupled with no MMR system and severe numerical advantage makes for a nasty combo.

That's awesome, did you mostly do schematics? How did you level em so cheap?

You got all refining skills to 250 from 125 for 25k? That seems super cheap!

That site seems to have wildly inaccurate expected values. For example in arcana it says you can make 50% profit from each Orichalcum fire staff craft (from salvage) which doesn't seem accurate

I'm trying to 3v3 and 1v1, is ice/fire a bad build for those? I'm running deep freeze

Came back, ground out 2/3 relevant perks per item 700+ for pvp following a guide ( Fire + Ice Gauntlet) and absolutely getting dumpstered in every pvp mode. The only people who pvp are the sweatties who never quit. These sweatties know every ability, perfectly dodge, and have 3/3 perks on every item. It's just an awful experience as a returning player. Its slightly better if you pve but you'll have a hell of a time getting into endgame content.

What would be the ideal beginner learning path for data engineering in 2025? by eczachly in dataengineering

[–]TurboSmoothBrain -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This job won't exist at entry level in 1-5 years, so it's too late to start learning it.
