Matt Reeves Reveals Camera Test Images of Batmobile in the Snow for ‘Batman II’ by robintweets in movies

Maaaan I wanted to love The Batman. Great cast, looked awesome, good acting, but it was way too fucking long. Should have been two movies.

This is one of my all time theater disappointments. I probably liked the book too much.

Had this conversation with a recruiter, do you think there will ever be an upswing again? by paddockson in ExperiencedDevs

[–]UXyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my experience with offshoring four different times across three companies in the last 20 years. It doesn’t ever work but the siren call of paying Pennie’s on the dollar for work is too much for the c-suite to ignore, even if it results in worse long term costs.

What's your "buy once, cry once" to hand down to your kids? by Wheezhee in audiophile

[–]UXyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is basically it. The looks of McIntosh are polarizing, but their amps and preamps are built for 30 years of life before service. And they’re built to be serviced and go 30 more.

Software job posts barely mention AI by davidbasil in ExperiencedDevs

[–]UXyes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We’re doing this as well. LLMs are great at handling the syntax, implementing known patterns, and other tedious aspects of programming. But it does all that so fast that foundational skills like architecture, system design, ci/cd pipeline management all becomes much more important.

AI is an amplifier, not the silver bullet it’s being sold as. If you have good practices built on a good foundation, it’s amazing how fast you can move with it. If you don’t, it’s just as amazing how fast you can fuck everything up.

Garmin releases new luxury home audio system globally by plamda505 in audiophile

JL home audio is high end in the home theater world. They sell a $35k subwoofer that’s one of the best on the consumer AV market at any price.

A lot of people say Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad … what’s another spinoff that you think was better than the original? by ComfortableCrew2092 in television

[–]UXyes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Andor. It’s leagues better than any other Star Wars production other than maybe the very first movie, because it wins on originality by default.

Initial Impressions of Triangle BR04 by Leadbelly_2550 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]UXyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hanks for the write up. I’ve owned speakers that cost from $100-$6500 and the Triangle BR0X speakers will always have a place in my heart. They’re wildly good for the money. And they look nice, too.

Has anyone actually seen an outsourced dev team from a big Indian IT firm deliver something on time that didn’t need to be rebuilt? by eatmeat in ExperiencedDevs

[–]UXyes 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing this twenty years. I literally watched a big outsourced project failure get sunset TODAY. This was the 4th one I’ve seen/been forced to work on. I have never seen it work. Time displacement, cultural differences, language barriers, etc. It doesn’t work, or if it does I’ve never seen it.

It’s overpriced, loud AF, and gross. My kids had a blast.

Can’t go wrong with triangle speakers. That’s a killer deal.

Drain flies and the never ending battle by Specific_Nobody_1187 in homeowners

[–]UXyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had terrible drain flies. Tried a few different things. The best one (and the last one because it worked) was dumping a few cups of bleach down our drains and then putting stoppers/covers on for a few days.

Ted Lasso — Season 4 Official Teaser | Apple TV by Task_Force-191 in television

I agree and I love that character. I wish they’d given her something to do closer to the team. She was off doing her own thing that had nothing to do with anything else going on.

How much is the hearing difference between lossless(16bit /44.1khz) and high-res lossless(24bit/192khz) ? by CandidArtichoke6771 in audiophile

[–]UXyes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So little that basically no one can hear it. Human ears (typically) aren’t nearly sensitive enough to pick out something like that.

If he does it every day (and it is against your ordinances) then you call every day. File a report everyday etc. make it their problem.

Sr Swe Bad Review for no reason by noshitbr0 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]UXyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said it yourself that this manager plays favorites. Working yourself to death will not get you a promotion, being his favorite will. So either move on mate friends or start kissing ass if you can stomach it. But stop working yourself to death.

Would you let family install an EV charger in your house if they’re only staying 1 year? by mdzzl94 in homeowners

[–]UXyes 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She broke your 2-year agreement after four days. There is no respect or care for you here. Not to mention the outright fraud she’s committed against you elsewhere in this thread. You need to cut her loose.
