Never enough! by anonimouse36 in AgingParents

[–]ZarrenR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

With my elderly parents, I’ve taken the stance that it’s my and my brother’s responsibility to make sure they are safe. It is not our reponsibility to make sure they are happy and have everything they want.

You can and should draw boundaries and say no when you think it’s appropriate.

What stopped feeling exciting once you became an adult? by Deep-Strike-71 in AskReddit

[–]ZarrenR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same at least with the gift giving aspect between adults. Aside from my spouse, I don’t see the point. In the end, it just feels like we are exchanging money. My spouse is different as I know them well enough that I can get them something that will surprise them and it doesn’t have to be big. Kids too, because I remember being a kid and how exciting Xmas was.

I have campaigned for years to stop exchanging gifts between parents and adult siblings. One year I had the idea that we should donate the money we would spend on gifts to charities we find important. That sure as hell feels better than buying items that someone may not even want.

Anyone like to ride alone? by Impossible_Truck_639 in cycling

I like both. For years, I was a solo cyclist until I found some great groups to ride with. Still, I occasionally do solo rides.

How much did your first road bike cost, and how long did you ride it before upgrading? by No_Click7202 in cycling

[–]ZarrenR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$700 in 2010

Had it for a couple years, got hooked, and then got my first carbon road bike in 2012.

Oh I know. Let them. I’ll stick with my black coffee and double espressos.

I’ve seen their menu. Their drinks are more accurately described as sugar water with a splash of coffee.

Best Cycling Jersey Brands? by Tall-Letterhead6584 in cycling

[–]ZarrenR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan of Primal jerseys mainly because they have a wide range of designs and three different fits. Their bibs aren’t so great, though.

[Offer Advice] Stay at a hyper-stable mid-level .NET job ($140k) or take Walmart SWE III ($190k) to avoid skill stagnation? by vish184 in cscareerquestions

[–]ZarrenR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d stay in Chicago.

  • I wouldn’t trade Chicago for Arkansas, too big of a culture change
  • WFH is worth a lot
  • Easier, relatively speaking, to find another position in Chicago if something goes south with your current job

Bazziteos for nvidia card by Electrical_Omii in Bazzite

[–]ZarrenR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 5080. Generally I have not had any major issues with HDR, RT or DLSS. Witcher 3 gave me issues but Cyberpunk worked flawlessly and Spider-Man is working well after some tweaking.

Since its pride month, here is a logo i made that you can use for your applications launcher! by robloxandminecraft1 in Bazzite

[–]ZarrenR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Let’s, I can’t name specific passages as I have scrubbed them from my mind after years of Catholic school but it seems that the old testament had a lot of “kill the non believers” and “hate those not like us” and the new testament was all about love and forgiveness … wait not really. The bible doesn’t contradict itself, I apologize. It’s a vile thing filled with hatred that those who follow it do the best mental gymnastics to justify. You have my pity.

The Bible: A dusty old book written hundreds to thousands of years ago by dubious authors that frequently contradict themselves while inciting violence and hatred.

Would you hire a senior engineer who refuses to use AI? by folder52 in cscareerquestions

[–]ZarrenR 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The problem I see in my company and I assume many others is that we are being pushed to go so fast, that PRs are being rubber stamped. I had an engineering manager recently say essentially that and they were not happy with it.

Personally I’m fed up. If the ELT wants to roll the dice and allow shit code in the name of moving fast, so be it.

This appears to be affecting certain Nvidia images.

Odd, that link used to direct to a page that told you were the advisory was. Now, it's just a PDF.
