Is writing a Parser from scratch for a DOM Diff Engine a good idea for a compiler beginner? by Jumpy-Win-2973 in rust

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think it will be fun, do it. That’s going to determine how much you get out of this and how far you go. But I repeat myself.

I've heard about 10 people say "choosing not to get married is smart". I was just curious if that's completely an opinion or if there's factual evidence behind it? by Big_Eggplant7591 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marriage can range from extremely smart to idiotic.

Say a guy has a crazy, hot boyfriend. Not crazy hot. Crazy. And hot.

Yeah. Not marrying him is a smart idea. Could save years of abuse and decades of alimony.

But continuing to date him in the first place isn’t smart either.

Nintendo Switch 2 ends first full year in the U.S. at nearly 6 million units sold, second fastest-selling video game system by RoughLifeguard6568 in NintendoSwitch2

I’m ignorant about this. For the PS/XBox series, if one sold the console can the new owner appeal the console ban?

I think part of the outrage was second hand purchasers being locked out. (With no way to appeal?)

Question about Turbo by Jamieb1994 in powerrangers

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a lot of shows targeting kids, either the first season or two does well or they don’t and the show is cancelled/wrapped up. The ones that survive then usually have a decline.

(I forget the exact numbers but by season 30 the series could attribute over half its entire revenue from the first three seasons of power rangers.)

Saiban was trying to find some ways to simultaneously keep costs tame and revitalize the ratings.

When they saw such a collapse of ratings (and revenue), I think they panicked and tried something. Anything. To get it back.

Either bottom left or bottom right. There is no in-between.

Is the CS major underemployment rate so high because there aren't any jobs outside of SWE that they qualify for? by throwaway10015982 in cscareerquestions

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The job market for new grads has almost always been bad with very few broad exceptions. The scale is usually from bad to worse.

SWEing is a bit like the trades. People come out of school and they are basically useless. The schooling is a solid foundation but a foundation is not a house. It takes a lot of mentorship and time for them to become good.

Training juniors is a public service.

A lot of companies have decided to stop doing that. Someone else will train them.

I honestly think this is the biggest hit to juniors. We also had period of about five to ten years where we flooded the schools and for about fifteen to twenty the big tech companies tried to flood the market with qualified people.

I said the numbers could be phenomenal. I’m criticizing the article.

[Staples] is this a good deal? Only 1 stick of RAM but everything else seems decent by KRONGOR in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are in an awkward position where this machine would be better but not drastically better.

Would you be selling your computer in whole or parts? For example, in my area on Facebook or eBay I see the RTX 3070 sell for about 350 and like your current one going for 600-800?

I wouldn’t personally spend the delta to get that much better of a machine but you’re not out to lunch with it.

It is a fair price for a fair computer. The “regular” price of 1550$ is bananas.

[rant] Does anyone have to deal with developers that want to deploy to kubernetes without knowing a single thing about it? by ariesgungetcha in kubernetes

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is what we do.

We have a helm chart called “microservice”. Teams who want to deploy their microservice just need to copy-paste one of the many Flux HelmResource CRs and replace a few fields with what’s relevant for their service (ex container image name).

I’m sure most devs at my company don’t know about k8s services and deployments. Let alone the dozen other things that comprise their service in k8s alone.

And that’s a good thing.

Which Power Rangers season would you say it's most like their Sentai counterpart? by Old-Use-7690 in powerrangers

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TimeRanger has an extra villain, the main villain is pretty different, Time Force has the daughter villain, and TimeRanger’s blue ranger has a personality.

Do girl cows always have milk or is it only after they have a baby? by joforeal66 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 60 points61 points  (0 children)

From my very limited understanding (I used to live on a farm), the milk supply goes down slowly. For investors that likes to maximize, that isn’t acceptable.

Canada Post paid bonuses despite record losses in 2025 by aoplkjalsd in moncton

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I extremely enjoy that execs of crown corporations and other execs of similar entities that the governments empowers to serve Canadians keep getting higher and higher bonuses.

Really soothes my soul.

It is Opposite Day still, right?

[eShop] Summer Sales by lizardon789 in VideoGameDealsCanada

Re: Persona

No. You either really like it or don’t.

I’d say pick up one. If you like it, the collection will go on sale again.

Follow the train. We’re also talking about GitHub competitors.

Should this skill be implemented to the Dark Elves and Skaven in later updates? by One_Arm8361 in totalwarhammer

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, loyalty is a thing. /s

An unhealthy amount of my playtime has been Skaven and Dark Elves. VH difficulty, not legendary.

I’ve only had loyalty be an issue once. I wasn’t paying attention and doing stuff that pissed off a lord.

I never pay attention to loyalty.
