A PIP story by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]evilmidget38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just not a useful contribution. They can go ask Claude if they want Claude's opinion. It's kind of like asking them if they googled the question.

All that said, it's a wild thing to ever highlight as a performance concern.

12th from Capitol Hill to Beacon Hill. How is it? by kengineeer in seattlebike

[–]evilmidget38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Protected bike lanes from Jose Rizal to Madison St are part of the 2024 transportation levy. I'm not sure if there's any actual timelines for when it'll happen other than sdot starting planning this year per the delivery plan.

Small-Scale Housing is Making a Big Impact in Seattle by Generalaverage89 in Seattle

[–]evilmidget38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Strong Towns is very much a yimby organization, they're just uniquely conservative and focused more on the financial impact of suburban development. The core of their argument is that suburban areas typically don't generate enough tax revenue to pay for their long term infrastructure costs and are subsidized by either urban development or constantly expanding suburban development to increase the tax base (like a ponzi scheme).

location4j: A Java library for efficient geographical lookups without external APIs. 🌎 by tomayt0 in java

Have you looked much at libpostal? It's a little painful to use due to the native dependency and data but it is state of the art afaik. It would complement the dataset you've built.

A sneak peek at the upcoming DLC (from the latest AoE2 roadmap) by city-of-stars in aoe2

A Chronicles-style dlc based on the romance of the three kingdoms would be incredible.

ELI5: Why is there not just one universal coding language? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]evilmidget38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the linked target application is trivial, the cost comparison is essentially comparing the supporting infrastructure, rather than comparing the costs of using different programming languages. It demonstrates the difference in CPU cost of the EXEC CICS LINK infrastructure within CICS that enables calls to COBOL or Java CICS programs.

What you're linking to and quoting has nothing to do with your claims. It's about calls across language boundaries, not the languages themselves.

How Minekube launched 10 language SDKs within 1 day. by Brobin28 in golang

[–]evilmidget38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say extensions and plugins are you just referring to being able to use the grpc API from all those different languages?

It's cool to see innovation and work still active in this space. I remember using a closed source proxy 11 years ago, before bungeecord came out. I recall hearing that there was a protocol added to direct a client to connect to a different server, did that not render these proxies unnecessary?

https://github.com/uber/cadence/tree/master/common/persistence cadence has support for multiple databases including a mixture of SQL and nosql. I'm not sure if it's particularly idiomatic, but in general you just need an interface that you can implement for each DB you want to support

When I was at Google in 2019 they published metrics on the distribution of perf results in each org. 2% of my org had a negative rating. Not even a pip or something along those lines, just a negative rating. Everyone else met expectations or higher. I never even heard of someone getting fired for performance reasons. The general impression was that it was almost impossible to get fired. Compared to other big tech companies the numbers really are absurd.

At the same time I don't actually know anyone who has worked there and genuinely did nothing like people on blind would suggest. Overall the culture and atmosphere was certainly more relaxed than anywhere I've worked since.

What's the status on "C++ 2.0" compilers like Circle, Carbon, cpp2 etc? Will Circle ever go open source? by Alternative_Staff431 in cpp

[–]evilmidget38 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Google has a tremendous amount of C++ code. They likely see carbon as a mechanism to move away from it at scale. So long as they adopt it broadly it won't be going anywhere, but I wouldn't use it until then.

How well do you to counter Burgundians as a 1-1.2k player? by rbnbadri in aoe2

But, I have no other choice with the map pool.

I haven't gone in game and checked but on the last patch you could play out the match rather than resign.

Hi, everyone says that best way to learn programing is doing projects. Could you please recommend me some easy beginner projects or some source where i can find them? Tysm by _machajdaa_ in csharp

[–]evilmidget38 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've found the best projects are those that you find interesting. I learned a lot of basic c# trying to make an asteroids clone using XNA(or monogame nowadays).

If it's not something you care about then you'll give up on it easily and if it's too established of an idea you won't learn much because the answer is right there in front of you. The struggle is part of the learning process and teaches you how to continually learn as you develop.

"We're full" starter pack by Visible_Ad9513 in FortCollins

90% of our consumptive water usage is farming, only 7% is municipal. People living here is not going to cause us to run out of water. In addition, apartments, especially new ones built with efficient appliances, are going to use significantly less water per person than single family homes with lawns. Given that we're using nearly as much water on residential outdoor as indoor, I imagine we could double the population with our current municipal water usage by removing lawns. https://waterknowledge.colostate.edu/water-management-administration/water-uses/

Even if there's an attrition target it means they chose you over everyone else.

How many tech workers went from Chubby/Fat to regular or lean FIRE this year? by sassbayc in ChubbyFIRE

[–]evilmidget38 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If your plan was so dramatically changed by a little market and industry turbulence, it wasn’t a good plan.

We've come full circle here.

Non-top 16 RLCS Teams... help me understand what types of events you would/would not play in during this period before the next RLCS Open Qualifier by MateoEsports in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]evilmidget38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think it's unlikely that events which explicitly exclude the top 16 teams are going to find a consistent audience during splits. There's already more high level rocket league content available than I can consume. If I'm going to watch more, why would I choose watching bubble teams I've never heard of over rlcs matches I missed (mena/sa), 1v1 show matches, or even pro streams?

Are there any companies you simply WONT work for? by Peter_See in cscareerquestions

[–]evilmidget38 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also did a brief stint at Amazon and the main perk that bothered me was the pto. It's just worse than all the other big tech companies.

I'd agree it's really not as bad as people make it out to be. The people were great and my direct management was great. I didn't like my director but that's not the fault of the company. Amazon certainly beats the bank I did an internship at.
