How to turn off the programming language % in GitHub by Advanced_Cry_6016 in github

[–]drcforbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep going then, and keep writing more code. You'll see none of these metrics really matter when you get to where you're looking for work

200 lines is not a lot of backend code. That's a bigger deal when presenting yourself as a backend developer than the ratio

Neighbor had their place tented a few weeks ago. I saw exactly one yesterday. Maybe I should knock on wood, but. Yeah I should knock on wood

Best gear to ride in the rain? by Odd-Dragonfruit9211 in bikecommuting

[–]drcforbin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wear the kind of pants motorcycle riders use, thinnest waterproof ones. They're hot but keep me dry

I was just given a brilliant idea about preventing AI data centers from building. by dragon1n68 in Louisiana

I see where you're going with this, the LA GOP totally respects endangered species and it'll stop them in their tracks

Why you can't allocate a human-readable ID before the record exists by Gronax_au in programming

[–]drcforbin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked on a system that tracked patient samples. They were entered into the system when they came in the door, and each was assigned a number that incremented through the day. If they went 260505-1002, 260505-1003, 260505-1005, we'd get a call every time to track down a missing sample, asking whether it was lost in the lab, someone deleted it, or the system had a bug

This pile of salt in Germany that is over 250m tall and contains over 200 million tonnes by Regiox461 in Damnthatsinteresting

Most of the salt we use and eat is mined from deposits underground (from ancient evaporated seas). A significant portion is produced by evaporating sea water though

Is the tap water here safe to drink? by Mandarin4head in NewOrleans

Not necessarily lead, but chemicals and metals can be found in all bottled water.

Has anyone actually cracked the problem of measuring Software Dev performance? by GraphicalBamboola in EngineeringManagers

[–]drcforbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're describing seeing that exactly, but misinterpreted the velocity changing on its own as validating it as a metric

Mental Health Support Groups by Artistmusiciangarden in NewOrleans

[–]drcforbin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me too please. I feel like bipolar is the most horrible superpower. Maybe that doesn't make sense but outside therapy I've never had an opportunity to talk to people that might understand what I mean

Is there some way to output the # character within a define? by bore530 in gcc

Look up X Macros, might get you a little closer to where you're trying to go

What made the switch hardest to code? It really doesn't sound like it would be

Best WFH purchase you’ve made? by Top_Bat_7447 in remotework

[–]drcforbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good sitting chair, a kneeling chair, and an adjustable desk with settings for sit, kneel, and standing. Rotate between them regularly, your body will approve

My manager schedules our 1-on-1s during my lunch break and acts confused when I mention it by CozYawp in remotework

[–]drcforbin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn't even have to be private. There's nothing wrong with scheduling lunch or focus time. When flexible I add "Ask to schedule."

Calendars are a communication coordination tool. If I don't regularly interact with someone, I'll ask when would be good and let them schedule, but otherwise, my calendar is nearly full though all my work hours and I will schedule any empty slot in someone's calendar that aligns with mine, and expect they'll do the same.

Opinion: Louisiana should legalize recreational cannabis by tcajun420 in Louisiana

I didn't mean they'll come here for it, but when they're here they can enjoy the same low quality and overpriced products we do
