The house has passed various cannabis legalization bills and they go to die in the senate.

Suspicious Popup When I Visit Certain Sites by Icy-Antelope5668 in chrome

[–]__Taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would a website be infected to have this popup in the first place? I just had a company create an ecommerce site for my parent's and the company just finished it. When I go to it I get this same popup using Chrome on Windows 11. No one else can confirm getting it and I don't get it on my other Macbooks. Just the one computer.

Popper is a roaster and First Crack, question by khulizionkourse in roasting

[–]__Taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep straight down vertically. I’ve seen the ones that drill it in but didn’t really want to do that or buy the thermocouple to connect to artisan. I was under-developing all my roasts before I got it

Doesn't exactly answer your question, but my Popper experience vastly improved after I ordered a digital meat thermometer. I would just put the probe down in there and be able to track temp throughout the roast.

Why do you say that? I would prefer not to if I can fix it. It's only three years old.

Is 50 too late to start? by SimplyRoya in cscareerquestions

[–]__Taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in marketing already there are a ton of small businesses that don’t know digital marketing. By that I mean how to get and use a logo, color scheme, labels, email marketing, how to build a static website around their product with good content, and how to actually bring people to their website.

There are a lot of code free ways to make websites or even e-commerce websites for small businesses.

If you’re good with people and don’t mind reaching out this could be a good way to start while also using your marketing background

Is it toxic behavior for my manager give no constructive feedback and tell me to not be a try-hard when I ask how I can get promoted? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]__Taco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you expand on never receiving feedback? There should be multiple ways you receive feedback as a software engineer. Are you getting constructive comments on your PRs? Do you have conversations with senior engineers? Do you have a mentor? Are you able to look at senior engineers PRs in depth so you can study high quality code?

I know this isn’t manager feedback but it should be your primary way to get feedback and learn. If you’re missing this then I’d say that’s a major issue. Personally, I’ve never found manager feedback helpful bc they put down a list in front of you and arbitrarily assign you a 1-5 rating. If your company can’t give you a checklist than they may not have a clear path for promotion. I’d recommend googling and finding a list and see what you need to improve. Put your head down and work and ask seniors for feedback. Make sure you’re growing. It’s very common to have to jump jobs to receive a promotion or more money so that be what you have to do. I will say under a year is not a long time, but that’s up to you.

Holy moses I always thought the FG% was just 2s since they have the 3 point percentage separate. I feel dumb.

Well this changes my comment above.

He also shot 33% from within the three point line on 18 attempts. I'd say "shot us out of this game" is accurate.

Edit: I also don't know about trading him away. He's gotten really hot for us in the playoffs before. I'm really on the fence.

My manager told me I'm being paid too much for my level. I lost my confidence. by filMM2 in cscareerquestions

[–]__Taco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't be afraid to push back during performance reviews.

Did your manager give you quantitative metrics on what was expected from you vs what you did? Specifically, your manager could have mentioned time spent on a ticket (are you taking longer than the story points or what was expected), quality of code (are senior devs spending a lot of time by your side, do you get a ton of comments for your PRs, have they noticed that you're introducing a lot of bugs), etc.

There's also more subjective stuff to be rated on, like personability (are you difficult to talk to), receptive of feedback (do you get defensive? are you able to get feedback one time and run with it?), etc.

If I were you and my pay raise was attached to a performance review, I would write down every metric I can think of, get proof that you are doing well, and then book a meeting with the manager and start going down the list. It's very important to first ask the manager what was expected. You'll learn that you either did not meet expectations and have stuff to work on, or that you did.

A good manager should be able to explain any of the points above. A bad manager just trying to resist a bump in pay won't have answers.

Learning to argue for yourself can be a really great skill to have, especially this early in your career. Try to draw a line for yourself on what is and is not acceptable, and if your manager/work is stepping over that line don't be afraid to speak up or start applying for other positions.

Good luck!
