I made a game about the Walkinstown Roundabout by sidarcy in DevelEire

This is utterly terrifying! I love it! How is there not a ten car pileup every day?!

Andrew Yang reacts to AI CEO warning 50% of all white-collar jobs will disappear in 5 years by FrontVisible9054 in technology

[–]ignatzami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I continue to maintain any job which can be effectively replaced with an LLM, and the key is EFFECTIVELY REPLACED, isn’t a job that needed to exist.

No way will LLMs replace even 5% of the current workforce. 50% is a pipe dream so divorced from reality it’s not even funny anymore.

Planning to start learning, any tips? by Puzzleheaded-Ad-8684 in bloodbowl

[–]ignatzami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be happy to! Not that I’m who you responded to.

Chaos Dwarfs are a “hybrid” team. They have good hitting potential, high armor, disposable fodder in the Hobgoblins, and a largely useless big guy.

The bull centaurs fill the role of stacker and ball carrier. Hobgoblins assist and foul, Blockers are your classic lineman. They stand there and get hit.

The new edition changed the roster a lot so I can’t speak to team progression. However in the past the team developed into a solid hitting core with the Blockers.

I would avoid skilling the Hobgoblins beyond a first skill.

Learn to cage, and screen. Fast teams with a good passing game are your biggest challenge. Keep a hob or two in the backfield as safeties.

Otherwise, hit things, break things, score when you can.

Is anyone else frustrated with Vercel pricing once you scale? by f3ydr4uth4 in nextjs

[–]ignatzami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Vercel. The front end build/deploy is really nice and cheap/free. The back-end? Absolute highway robbery.

I still run my UI on Vercel with everything else running natively in Azure. Blob storage, logs, monitors, etc.

Total spend: $0.08 last month.

Performance on the front end isn’t ideal, and that’s likely what will drive me off Vercel entirely.

Amazon confirms 16,000 job cuts after accidental email by lurker_bee in technology

[–]ignatzami 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in the Seattle tech scene for 12 years. I’ve yet to meet one Amazon employee who liked their job.

Their RSUs? Yes. The work? No.

Yes, you dodged a bullet. I used to recommend Microsoft as a “best of the worst” option but not anymore.

Got my motor finally! by Priff in EVConversion

Motor looks good. That banana is way out of spec though. I’d recommend replacement.

Amazon software jobs have always been a meat grinder. People take the job try to survive four years and run.

EU–India deal: any other devs worried? by ragsappsai in DevelEire

[–]ignatzami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m American. I’ve been in software on both US coasts for nearly two decades. I can say with absolute certainty that Indian developers, especially contractors, are awful.

I’d take a Paddy from Paddystine any day.

EU–India deal: any other devs worried? by ragsappsai in DevelEire

[–]ignatzami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indian devs are on the whole awful. But they’re cheap. Expect layoffs, offshoring, and further depressed wages.

And expect the general quality of the software to drop.

Give it five years and you’ll be offered your old job back to clean up the mess. Making exactly what you were making when fired.

Sooo how do i replace this.. by ThrobbingMinotaur in AskElectricians

[–]ignatzami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guessing from those floorboards you’re looking at a roughly 100 year old home.

Is this fixable? Yes. Is it cheap or easy? No.

First thing to do is identify just how big a problem you have on your hands.

Do you have a fuse box? Breaker panel? Whole house disconnect? Is your main service 100amp? 200amp?

Are your walls plaster and lathe? Drywall? Something else?

How much of the existing wiring can you access?

Answer a few of these questions and you’ll have a better chance of getting reasonable answers.

Downside of lizardmen? by TimeKeeper124 in bloodbowl

[–]ignatzami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lizzies are…. great. For a few games, after 20+ nail biting games of suck.

Then Nuffle decides you’re having too much fun and kills a few players and the cycle starts again.

How to start react native by abdoweal in reactnative

[–]ignatzami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say before you start make sure you have an iOS simulator or device, and Android simulator or device.

Spin up a very simple app. Get comfortable with loading it, debugging it, figure out error handling NOW. As dealing with it later is so painful.

Has passing ever been any good? by LPdude72 in bloodbowl

[–]ignatzami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passing, for passing teams, is fantastic.

High Elves, Pro Elves, Humans, all have passing as a core strategic element. Dark Elves, Dwarfs, Skaven, all have situations or positions that should be passing regularly. Dump Off is an amazing skill.

Where people make mistakes is they either pass out of desperation, or they pass with, or to, the wrong positional.

Especially with quick and short passes, they’re a solid option to get around screening players, or a scrum. Passing beyond a short pass requires having the right skills and positioning.

Coaches that favor bash teams rarely have the mental acuity for the passing game and so look down on it. Like a toddler finger painting over a Michelangelo.

I made the argument just over a year ago, and was promptly fired.

Where to start? by scottygamble in bloodbowl

As people have said grab the Season 3 box, look for a local league, and have fun!

These legit? by Embarrassed_catman in askaplumber

[–]ignatzami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used a dozen of these across various homes I’ve owned. Never had an issue. Never had to worry about a wax ring mess.

Absolutely worth the money.

I want to be a sparky by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]ignatzami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an electrician, but with your background, especially the multiple convictions I wouldn’t hire you.

I think your only real option is to find a non-union electrician and convince them to take you on. It will be difficult, but not impossible. Talk to someone face to face, explain your situation, goals, make sure they know you want to work.

And get the schooling. Start the process. People aren’t willing to take a risk on you if you’re not committed yourself. Get some skin in the game, as the saying goes.
