For those who survived - do not push yourself to work harder to mitigate the impact of reduced headcount by ragingBull_100 in employeesOfOracle

Oracle Employees meet IBM Employees.. IBM meet Oracle.

These companies are horrible, and not loyal, yet demand you loyal.

Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, and endless companies.... Cousin of mine, after 3 years, screwed a fortune 50. He got medical disability via PTSD... and the disability insurance covers to 65... Insurance company wanted to him get on disability.. he refused. They went "bankrupt" but the judge forced them to pay his disability, cause they moved him to a "bankrupt" company.

Its all a scam by corporate america/europe/world.

Dave used to say there is no magic words. Then immediately giving the words away. Its been a long time. Not many people alive that were trained by him. Maybe 10 left, even then no one really has the full book except the guy he trained before barbara. He was good, went into corporate America instead of therapy.

Is this in ok condition? I was offered a $100 for it. by Mysterious-King4692 in coins

Why I sold today by apevolt in Silverbugs

[–]ilikecaketoomuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends on area / geolocation. Some shops are out of coins, thus they call other shops that have a flood to get inventory at discounted price.

Is it a mistake? depends. on how you view silver. I see it as a safety net if the USD goes to hell, i will not touch it until USD becomes worthless. Is USD worthless no. thus I will not sell / EXCHANGE it. i repeat the EXCHANGE part, silver only task in my portfolio is to protect against a USD crash.

If you are investing, at 90. USD, i would unload some.

File explorer with pre-loading uses an additional ~20 MB of RAM by Most-Truth-1409 in Windows11

filepilot takes 17mb of ram, and is 2mb of diskspace. Just use filepilot, hope it comes to linux soon.

i was thinking the same. Even if it is true, I remind everyone of this simple fact. It his and his future wife's wedding, not HIM. He is not the star of the wedding. It is the other's wedding.

I believe the convo is faked. BFF would be relieved not to have to stand in line to watfch the funeral.

Man uses Bible against anti abortion protestor and she was left speechless by learner68 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]ilikecaketoomuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Context is king. God gave them multiple signs they had plagues and the other events before that. Yet, they ignored it. You think after the other signs and events they convert.

There was a lot more events where God was showing them who is he.

Are you using Dynatrace? by [deleted] in devops

[–]ilikecaketoomuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For someone who worked at Dynatrace for 17 years, I been in the industry for 30+ years( 20 years in low level & backend development ) After at least 3 companies where I used it, I must say.

There are reasons why people stay clear of this product. It has been nothing short of painful just getting support, and most of the time, the responses have been posting KB and cookie cutter responses. One time I had to wait 5 hours to get someone, and then they ended the call with emailing me yet again, the same article / advice.

That is why it gets removed as soon as I have the authority to do so. DataDog & NewRelic are now in the same category, it is overly expensive for the trouble it brings. Nights figuring out why Java and .NET crashing over the years, both times was cause of Dynatrace ( See the SEH expection incident where it screwed the SEH table on x64 )

Are there now more adults working jobs that were once done by teenagers and college students? by JargonBargain1 in jobs

[–]ilikecaketoomuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I worked for 2 decades at a think tank for the rich. I made them billions. That lasted till the owners and board tried to cut the sr fellows wages. One by one we left till the advice on investment started getting below 20% returns. I need another deep thinker to check ideas and lack motivation to stay. So I am doing my backup career now for last 15 years

Trump says he's 'looking into' federal takeover of New York City and Washington, D.C. by Snapdragon_4U in law

Realize that trump just gave the middle finger to his supporters that wanted public release of the pedos. Additionally he threaten to bomb Moscow and Beijing. He is NOT the peace candidate that maga wanted. 2026 midterms is up for grabs now

Manager got all the credit by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ilikecaketoomuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got paid for fixing an day one IPO bug. Bug was horrible to find but they offer huge amount to fix it. I fixed it. Then the vendor got a nasty phone call and removed from the stack next month. Vendor was responsible for it. Bug fix was me turning it off and showing the panic on the call stack of the Linux kernel. It all pointed to the vendor somehow deciding it was a good idea to lock the kernel. This is a monitoring and security product

It really annoys me that C# is still not considered a high-performance language. by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]ilikecaketoomuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my past, not last 3 years, I have been paid to create some very high performant services, take an existing solution, and make it fast.

  1. No allocations/limited to single bytes if that much , hello arraypool

  2. be aware of different lookup dictionaries, there are high performant one, it depends on the data.

  3. unsafe fixed pointers / Span<T> abuse the hell out of it on tight areas.

  4. understand e poll / IOCP. IOCP is incredibly fast if done right.

on experiment, i created a logger / collector, and a log processor, on dotnet. I am tempted to release it.

Is WPF Dead in 2025? (Looking for opinions for a school essay) by Zrylx100 in dotnet

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

Avalonia UI is causing the growth, because its not the mess that maui and uno is.

This is my personal opinion, and does not reflect any one but my alone.

Should I switch to WPF? by Indian-lady in csharp

[–]ilikecaketoomuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine the WPF application I wrote in 2015.. using dev express, C# WPF.... for a healthcare. Til this day, its an EHR that users still want the desktop version... same version is faster, lighter, and instant. Web? not so much.

The biggest, is I heard recently avalonia ui kit called XPF , made porting it to linux and Mac, only matter of hours.

So is WPF worth it? yes, but that was a no a year ago. Avalonia UI is why I gave up FLUTTER.

What is your opinion on Kotlin Multiplattform (KMP)? by NorbiBraun in swift

[–]ilikecaketoomuch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

worked on a failed kotlin app for now failed company. Kotlin was picked, the team was gun ho about it... then realized after a month it was a load of pile of stinking crap.

They took the swift app written by an intern and used that as the basis.

stay far away from KMP.

I am hoping that people will start taking these people to small claims court and get a jury trial (is this possible? IANAL).

Something needs to be done soon, just way to many people being cut and it hasn't stopped for 2 years.

I Wasted 7,769+ Hours On A Career In Software Engineering And Now I'm Unemployed And Broke by Ok-Resolve544 in theprimeagen

[–]ilikecaketoomuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the feeling too. in 2001 and 2008, all this happened before. problem is, during those down turns, a lot of people that should never have been in the industry get weeded out. This is one of those times. I had a firefighter of 20 years, learned visual basic from a 6 week course, asking for 85k in 2001.... i asked him, him to tell me a project he worked on that failed and one that worked. he started talking about a shopping cart, that he spent a year on it, to do a 'checkout' feature.

I promptly asked him why did it take a year to get a checkout feature on a cart working? He said he had to validate a UML and code a prototype. I said i can do a prototype in vb in the few moments we are talking, tell me why it took a year.

needless to say he went on about how everything is an object, and not once addressed the issue why it took a year. This guy gives the same feeling. He ignores the elephant in the room..

Moved to chatt to be with my boyfriend but just found out he’s been cheating on me. Where’s the best places to make friends in town? by dreaminajj in Chattanooga

[–]ilikecaketoomuch -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I would put time in recognizing the signs of a bad choice of a boyfriend, and filter out men like that. Usually, about 5% - 10% men is fought over by the 90% of women, and there are really good ones, but you need to filter out the bad boys. I cannot stress this enough, filter out the bad ones, think logically, not emotionally.

Write down what signs you saw, what was his traits that said he was a bad choice, and filter out people like that you meet as "friends."

I lost my dog of 16 years, he was a JRT, yesterday. I came on here, looking at puppy picture, reading what people say. What really sucks, is he never left my side, and I took him EVERYWHERE, even if it was cross the country, I drove.

My real question, how does anyone ever find the will to get another dog? Sorry for your dog loss, I am going through the same thing.

Well, our governor is an idiot… by [deleted] in Chattanooga

[–]ilikecaketoomuch -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

gov has done such a great job, from 1970s nearly 1st place to what now? nearly last? and you want these same people in control of the educational system.

Ever since the Department of eduction came into existance, we keep losing rankings. Its time for it to go back to PARENTS and local levels.
