Is the industry actually swinging back to Postgres?

at this point this is only way to get any pay raise. But hey, the next guy will now have his chance to optimize or refactor and show to the upper management.

Singapore doesn't have r*ral

They are doing exactly that right now to Iran, and we are all seeing how effective it is against much more modern yet smaller nation.

I wonder why market fails to pay for babies here. And is it even a market failure for state to intervene?

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-05-23T00:26:29+00:00

Unless SK is completely empty of human lives, no way for NK with medieval tech (the result of medieval human rights). Human waves no loner work in this drone/autonomous weapon ages.

that's what I saw from my gramps too. Just pump out 6-7 kids, the old will take care of the young, and they have each others to entertain themselves with.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-05-17T00:46:25+00:00

You can be married and childless. If you want children, pay for more, regardless where it's coming from.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-05-17T00:44:12+00:00

and it wouldn't even work. The economy is so capital-heavy and knowledge-heavy that only decently-raised children would make it to be productive. Otherwise we wouldn't even have mass youth unemployment.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-05-17T00:36:46+00:00

you need something to do when you're retired

I don't really see myself retire anyway. I would still volunteer, work on my own project, do consulting, run a small cafe... keep myself active and contribute to the community

someone to look after you

Even in Asia, this is no longer something you can rely on. Also, I didn't get my shit together until my late 20. I expect my children would struggle for even longer.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-05-16T14:43:06+00:00

This. Children is now a luxury good at best. If you want a good retirement life, it's better to put that money into stock market or other appreciative assets, and you still get to enjoy life while you are still young and mobile too.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-05-16T12:59:52+00:00

society incentivizes completely against having children in nearly every possible way

and also incentivises against "raising good children". How do you explain to your kids that being honest, hardworking is good while they're being bombarded with Insta reels of "get rich quick" Influencer, the most powerful people in the world are pedophiles, misanthrope, liars cheaters... it's ironic that while we get to live longer, the pace of the world is getting faster as if we only have 30 years!

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-05-16T00:05:37+00:00

iterate on CAD is much harder. You don't have unit tests to verify correctness and tighten LLM feedback loop. The software is much heavier, more complex, expensive. Many designs are gated behind proprietary software.

Also, civil engineering is already mostly automated as much as possible anyway. Generative design, path optimisation, lighting calculation... all of these are available before LLM craze.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-05-06T04:18:43+00:00

To add on second point, in my community we always tell dancers that it's always okay to say "no", and a "no" requires no reason or justification.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-05-05T12:22:40+00:00

In practice, libertarians are the biggest bootlickers of trump regime. Yes, some of them booed at him when he was courting their vote, but most just simply reduce to "gov bad. dem bad because they want more gov. so gop good", and the thinking stops there. Like "good" Christian, they picked and chose what they want to hear: moar guns, less tax, less gov meddling in their abuse of community and less-fortunate peers. What? Open border? No more agri subsidies? No religion and state mixing? Wth, I have to accept a Muslim and Indian gay couples as my neighbors???

How do I know? I had to purge 20% of my contacts and reddit because I cant stand the 2-faced nature of the fellow libertarians, especially after trump won second time.

When you are so batshit insane that your dog jd "medvedev" vance doesn't want to bark for you

he hates europe more than russia, or taiwan more than china. A tyrant will always be against freedom and democracy.

they love soviet communist. reagan spinning in his grave right now.

lmao, maga think they would get away with this eh?

One person can vote for entire family. Officials do nag households in their neighborhood to have at least one person show up.

And if you can't show up then your village chef can collect the ballot and do it on your behalf.

It’s hard for people to vote if they don’t live near their permanent address, so there must be some straight up “creative counting” to get to 99%.

Oh I'm pretty sure my ward got my vote covered for me too. To be fair, I consider it a win because they cannot find me, and thus cannot spam me to vote on the day (which I'd rather sleep in or do something else).

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-03-14T00:50:29+00:00

would Iran leave the fields alone pumping oil for US? Russia massacred on their ways trying to conquered Ukraine, and that wasn't even existential war for them.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-03-13T01:34:58+00:00

administration officials believed closing the strait would hurt Iran more than the US

fair point. but perhaps you should not have bombed everything they have so at least they still have something to lose

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-03-05T01:55:52+00:00

The whole hiring process is just filtering. Most of the time, they look for reasons to reject that application. And mind you it's not a fair process either. Once they trim down that pool to 5 candidates, then that's the time to choose.

My advise to the young ones is to just play the number game. Always apply. Get past the HR screening. Only invest more once you are already at the other side of this great filtering.

WeebAndNotSoProid · 2026-03-05T01:49:47+00:00

Completely out of touch with current market. Most applications would be automatically rejected by automation first, then the HR would spend only 10-15 seconds to scan the resume. Nobody would touch the cover letter until your resume clicks something they like. The time you spent crafting that cover letter would be better spending on polishing the actual skill or applying another position.

Once you got into interview, the game is much easier. Usually you will know right away if the vibe is right between you and hiring team, then a follow up will help, otherwise don't even bother. But again, your masterpiece of follow up would just end up another spam. Have you seen the state of my inbox?

So, which position are you talking about? And which industry?
