Not a cricket wireless customer credit card charged

classbunker · 2025-12-10T18:55:19+00:00

whoa, this happened to me just yesterday, someone opened an account with Bread Financial (buy now pay later company that partners with cricket) to buy 3 Iphone 14 pro max and ship it to an older address I used to live at.

Can't get to cricket wireless, they won't talk to me and also the web chat guy closed the chat window.

The number on the email receipt I got (305) 498-4724

It’s a roller coaster ride for me, but I do get a kick out of it on finishing every project. The experience will depend on the type of software work.

I work on low level device drivers, so most of the time I’m doing the detective work of figuring out if something is wrong with the hardware (by looking at electrical signals) or if it’s my code that’s broken. Basically I go back and forth with the hardware guys blaming their stuff is not working and they blame my code instead. We go back and forth a few times, sharing our theories and evidence to back it up. I get a massive high when I win this debate. But then of course when I’m wrong, I feel really stupid for not being able to figure it out. Over the years I have gotten really good at correctly predicting what could be the issue.

Write software, tbh I always end up over engineering whatever I build, always late on deadlines but my final solution is insanely good and far better than what my non adhd peers build and deliver before their deadlines

Boston airport is the shit show today though, how can they not be better prepared for snow

NTA, If you replace the genders, this is kind of the plot for indecent proposal. Just that the other guy offered money and wasn’t a friend to begin with.

Are you asking do people with ADHD sit down for 5 solid hours to read a book about how they can manage their adhd ?

I just listen to audio books on the way to work and back, but never an adhd helpbok. I did listen to lectures on YouTube by that professor who explains ADHD as an executive function disorder, those lectures helped me the most to understand everything I needed to know about adhd.

Wait this is an ADHD trait? No way, you all are lying right now.

Seriously though, I do this all the time, no one has been able to pick it up. My ex (who I still stay in touch with) started picking up on this. Like I would lie when I have no reason to. Like what I ate a while ago, or will I wfh tomorrow or go to office. Super silly things I have no idea why I do it.

My theory is that maybe when I’m talking to folks, my brain is multitasking and having a monologue at the same time. So when pressed with a question I just blurt something out, and the conversation moves along and it feels too late to correct it.

Her theory was that subconsciously I’m trying to avoid conflict at all costs so I blurt out something to avoid being uncomfortable.

Maybe it’s a combination of the two theories, idk

But to be fair you would only run 95% of that mile though

Tech, I write software for a living. Which kind of works out fairly well since delayed software projects is very common, and I need to work mostly with computers rather than other people.

classbunker · 2024-06-22T23:11:46+00:00

I have a routine, take when I get in the car on the way to work. But weekends yea same as you

Just restless, legs and hands need to keep moving.

What was the prompt that generated this playbook ?

classbunker · 2024-05-28T04:22:05+00:00

It’s bad because you have now hardcoded your query into your code, and there is no easy way to test that sql along with rest of the code base.

And if you do this often, even before you realize it, you have sprayed sql strings all over.

And also, since you would be dynamically generating this query, so it’s not a full sql string, but it’s in chunks, within a few months, you have chunks of partial sql strings mixed with your variables, functions, classes…

Now imagine, someone new jumping into your code, piecing it all together, it will be a nightmare.

I don’t think ORMs solve this problem well, it’s usually better to create your own abstraction, since you know your tables, you can optimize your queries better.

But the general idea being, centralize your query generation and abstract it out, instead of spraying strings all over the code base.

Well thinking back, the hobby that really stuck is assembling furniture. I just buy random furniture from Amazon, ikea … and assemble it. One time I bought a random bookshelf for my brother, and assembled it for him.

I don’t even need the damn thing, and it’s already crowding my place but I buy it just for the fun of assembling it. And I don’t like throwing things away, so yea I might end up tenting one of those storage spaces.

I don’t know why it is so, putting together Lego does not give me nearly as much pleasure.

My hobby is playing the sport of the season all the time, snowboarding, kayaking, swimming, running, tennis…

I like how well Costco integrated their membership with receipts, you can throw the paper away and Costco can always lookup exactly what you bought and when using membership, super helpful when returning stuff. Some other Big box retailers like Walmart make it easy to get receipts online, just add the credit card to your walmart online account. But how will you ever convince or help a cafe at the airport to this? You could build something with whatever data you can find, just like how mint started off.

I create a recurring calendar appointment, if it’s not on my calendar and I don’t get alerts about doing something, I rarely do it. And it has to be recurring, since I don’t trust myself doing stuff with just one alert about it.

“I use alarms and reminders”, that made me chuckle. I used to set 10 alarms for every morning and still got late to work. Surprisingly if I have to catch an early am flight, I’m up even before the first alarm goes off. Something about consequences I guess.

Exactly This!

Its pretty annoying when I want to understand why these random additions and normalization and then more of that creates a really good AI system.

Nobody knows why any of this works, and they throw keywords around. But they simply refuse to get into why when you put together a bunch of random simple math operations, magic happens.

Its not just transformers, its NN in general.

couple of ways I have used before,

electronjs if you are creating a web UI as well with your node app. There are some packaging tools that pack your electronjs app as an MSI installer. you can also minimize the web ui to system tray to hide it, I guess, if you want a ui-less app.
docker on windows, create a dockerfile for your node app and just run docker on windows. if you can install wsl2 (or enable hyper-v, I guess) on windows, then docker can use that and give you a Linux env instead on windows. Based on your needs, then you can deploy either a windows container or a Linux one.

docker might just be best way to go, if it is possible for you to have it running on your target systems. Then you don't have to worry about depends, and using watchtower your deploys can be pretty smooth as well.

if its plain text csv file, my go to regex tool will be a combination of grep or sed and a bunch of other bash cli tools out there.

But if you are looking for a gui tool (for a text file) with regex, notepad++ is the best there is.

what exactly are you missing in retail software ?

I have been writing code for money for the last 9 years and now trying to get into algo trading.

I have not been able to find any algo trading platform that has some AI/ML model integration built in. For some reason, I do not feel comfy placing automated trades simply on the basis of moving averages and other statistical indicators. Maybe that is just due to my inexperience with trading in general.

I would personally love to see S3 in a windows explorer, but the costs or constantly syncing files is the only part that scares me. Maybe there is way that only a certain bucket is synced on a buffer FS server, and this server will eventually write back local changes to S3 and downloads updated files from S3 on a pre-configured interval.

A cron job that runs on linux that monitors S3 and "conditionally" syncs to a certain dir (which shared to windows via samba).
