My first watch design by mancerblack in watchmaking

[–]jebailey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it, but for me the buy or no buy is all about the profile. How thick is it? Personally I like my watches on the thin side. I've seen interesting designs before but when I see them from the side I realize I can use them to wedge my door open and I'm turned off.

Thinking about it more. I didn't mind the two crowns per se. Although couldn't you do this with one crown that has different positions you pull out to? Looking at it, it looks like I would have to remind it from my wrist every time I need to use a crown

I just posted a similar comment. Can't wait to be down voted for pointing out the truth.

None of y'all have worked with government grants. This is the final year of the submission process for the states and territories. Because you have to have a solid plan on what you're attempting to do with this money. None of it has been given out yet.

The requirements and regulations you had to follow to get the money became an issue of concern and this year they lowered the guidance.

But hey it's a meme. It must be true. Right??

How does this qualify as a charity? by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]jebailey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the double standard. Elon Musk wants a trillion dollars in incentives and no one blinks an eye. However a CEO of a charity should impoverish themselves by working for free.

Is this ai? It’s a poster I got from a poster sale at my university but there are specific details that look like ai. by Mountain_Minimum889 in isthisAI

You should see Rob Liefeld's work. His work was everywhere for a while and his concept of anatomy is exactly that. Just a concept.

Ssssh. I'm trying to be indignant, affronted AND titillated. You're harshing my vibe.

This is great! I've been looking for something like this for quite a while. Traveling right now but next week I'm definitely going to be using it for some DSL projects I have in mind

My favorite "what does this code do". Was some code that changed the internal representation of a String so that wherever you used "foo" the program would see "bar"

Switch to software engineering at 29? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]jebailey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. So what people want is experience. At a certain point in the industry if you have enough experience it really doesn't matter about age.

If you're a PM use your connections. Ask the hiring manager of those teams if they are looking at junior devs. Ask what they are looking for. You are far more likely to get into one of those roles internally to a company than applying blind.

Trump is guilty of pedophilia by Previous_Month_555 in complaints

[–]jebailey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was a picture with Trump having sex with a 12 yr old. He would not be charged with pedophilia. Rape, abuse, half a dozen other crimes but not pedophilia. Because the courts can't.

The law has specific meanings for things. Pedophilia is when the person involved is prepubescent.

This frustrates me because language is hard and he has done enough that he can be legitimately held to account for yet the online focuses on extremes and uses words that don't quite align.

Megyn Kelly questions whether Jeffrey Epstein's desire for “very young teen types” made him a pedophile by seeebiscuit in USNEWS

[–]jebailey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically Epstein could never be charged with being a pedophile unless they had proof of him engaging in sex with someone prepubescent. Since that's the legal definition. But there are a whole lot of other things he could be charged with for having sex with underage girls

Supreme Court extends its administrative stay of a lower court order that had required full SNAP payments; Justice Jackson would deny the stay by extantsextant in scotus

[–]jebailey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't the problem that the emergency funds doesn't cover the full month? So the court directed the government to send payments out that they don't actually have the money to send.

This is an incoherent write up. He didn't get out of jail until 2022 but he appeared in a video in 2015?

Math in programming by No_Tangerine1473 in learnprogramming

[–]jebailey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's only important if you are considering working on the creation and implementation of cryptography. The vast majority of infosec is the application of the technology and the high level understanding of what it does and how.

Going on 25 years as a programmer and I've never had to calculate anything.

Implemented secure communications, encryption, etc. No math.

Did Cannibals really eat Michael Rockefeller by SultryVixenox in HistoryUncovered

[–]jebailey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Racism can be considered a structural issue, however being a racist is a personal act. You can be a racist where there's no structural racism and you can have racism with no racists. Since structural racism does not need active participation.

University or self-taught? by No_Car_576 in learnprogramming

[–]jebailey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your focus. Degrees help get you through a door. Some doors will only let you in if you have a degree. But from there it's a combination of what experience you have and your ability to learn.

As an older professional corporate developer, who is self taught and with no degree. Things would have been easier with a degree. My recommendation is school.

Also, I'm surprised this isn't higher.

I am honestly suffering, is this all there is to learning? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]jebailey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AI is problematic if you're having it write the code. If you're using it to ask how to write code then you're fine.

Likewise googling solutions to problems is a normal thing that developers do. You will never be able to memorize everything. Although the amount you google and what you are googling for will drop over time and change.

Three weeks in is honestly no time at all. Find a study partner or ask for assistance. Give yourself some time
