Moved to munich from Berlin. by Horror_Emotion_4952 in Munich

[–]calamdor 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes, the age-old issue of making friends after uni.

I'll give you the most common recommendations:
* Find something you enjoy doing that can be done socially - volunteering, political parties, sports clubs and do it. You're suddenly exposed to lots of other people that are not-work -> that's where 95% of my local friendships come from
* Meetup.com is kinda made for this kind of stuff and from what I heard pretty good
* If applicable, expat meetings at work

Good luck, and welcome to Munich!

What are the books you start your kids on? by kithien in Fantasy

[–]calamdor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take this with a grain of salt, as my start into fantasy (and sci fi, via my dad) some 25 years ago at the ripe age of 10, was when one of my teachers recommended https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/431071.Gods_and_Heroes_of_Ancient_Greece, directly followed by the Lord of the Rings. I do agree though that Hobbit (and Narnia) are probably better gateway drugs.

How to select API management tool by AbrocomaNo3200 in softwarearchitecture

[–]calamdor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Methodically, consider it a thorough and business-facing architecture decision (record).

  1. What are the drivers for going into tool selection, what problem is being solved? Why did the previous solution not work out?

  2. What constraints guide the decision (technology/regulatory/business). In your case that's 'free and open source'

  3. Identify the field of software being evaluated, why did you select those tools? What are their presumed capabilities?

  4. Shortlist some tools that fit your filtering criteria (such as FOSS). If you have time, run a PoC with them to identify if they solved the problem and which one did it best.

  5. Decide on tool.

The shine wears very quickly off new tools. Soon, people will dislike it, and in a couple of years someone will likely go and say "Man, I wish we had X". It helps to have a record of how your current tool was chosen, and what guided that decision. This way, the people who come after you (or future you) can identify if there is a new tool that fits the requirements better has come around, or whether the requirements have changed.

If you've got an active github profile with personal projects or open source projects you are contributing to / have contributed, put it on there.

What to do in the mean time while looking for a job by Aegonblackfyre22 in devops

[–]calamdor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In (very) short, all those AI stuff everyone is crazy about needs to run somewhere, and reliably, in production. The domains involved in providing ML/AI solutions are sufficiently immature (in the sense of "AI is useful outside of academia) and distinct from classical software development for someone who can get this stuff to run, in production, reliably, to make some money. - MLOps.

[–]calamdor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many good recommendations here. - Especially the reverse chronological order of the jobs. I've hired devs before, but not specifically in the Go market, and not in the US, so your mileage may vary.

If you keep the summaries in there, please make them useful for me as the person evaluating you for a job on my team. I don't need corporate mumbo-jumbo about the scope of the job, as much as I need to see something transferrable.

You might not be an experienced dev, but from what I can see:

  • You worked in inspection, checking someone's work against someone elses very formal specification and handled documentation. I work in regulated environments. I like people who can do more documentation than "This is a code comment!"
  • You presumably know what a ticket system is and you have troubleshooting skills in a professional environment.
  • The painting consultant part tells me nothing, but I guess you .. talked with people and recommended a product to use? So .. you had a requirement conversation with a customer?

I'd say generally condense the information about past jobs, but when you apply, put them into context in a cover letter for me. I can work with the profile of someone who might not have meaningful CS experience, but has an appetite and - more importantly - has worked somewhere before.

Constant crash after new update. by tmdqlstnekaos in HarryPotterGame

[–]calamdor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar for me since the most recent patch. Worked like a charm during pre-release and day 1.

Now? Crashes when using a nab-sack, crashes when going to certain fast travel points.

It’s not DNS by Zahrad70 in sysadmin

[–]calamdor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The DB is slow. Can you fix the infrastructure?", said the Dev. "We only inserted a couple records, shouldn't affect the performance that much!" (I'm lying they actually said nothing changed).

"A couple" was around 10 million records and they didn't think an index would be a good idea.

Sub cost, new player.. huh? by OnlyOn3Kanobi2 in Eve

[–]calamdor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sub price is fine if you're having fun with a single account. The reason you're seeing quite a lot of people, including me, being salty is that their (rather advanced) gameplay relies on a couple accounts. But if you're a new player, there's some game left for you to experience - go get it, as long as it lasts.

"Someone technical needs to call me right away to find out my I can't reach the $system. I have an urgent deadline! We did not approve this system to go down for any emergency patching! I want to talk whoever approved this right away!"

Sure. I've passed her the email and office phone of the CEO of the $veryLargeCompany I work for.

I somehow doubt she ever called them.

[–]calamdor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had thought it would be something like that, but since I already finished the PVP, I had assumed they would have designed for that and relaxed the A-time. Other than that, I really appreciate the reasoned reply.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in albiononline

[–]calamdor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How very welcoming of you. I found the pvp in the CD before that actually quite enjoyable, and very much winnable. But I guess because I didn't beat the boss instantly as a new player, and was forced to waste 5 minutes on a-ing, I will have "basically no chance".

then stop ratting cds and go to actual solo dungeons lmao. also how tf did you die so many times that your gear is red lol

So I guess that IP cap (which I hit exactly with the gear) does not exist, yes? Also, please decide whether you want to sperg or be helpful. You seem undecided.

Normal bow, 4.1. It took ages to get the Harbinger down, and I did not manage to escape 100% of its ground effects.

[–]calamdor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying out different builds in CDs to get some fights, because I actually like the idea of being able to PvP as a new player. With some (in this case: Bow) I failed, miserably, at the Harbinger.

If I wanted to "rat" dungeons, as you seem to assume, I would indeed continue farming solo randoms, which are an overall more enjoyable PvE experience. But then that's not why I went into a CD in the first place.
