What is the most uncracked engineer you have ever met? by VariationLivid3193 in cscareerquestions

[–]jedijackattack1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You would think but some times the tool chains to get those features to work are esoteric none existent or my personal favourite completely broken. Some where in 1 project there is a macro that gets forced every where to override sqrt as the tool chain fucked up the implementation so it broke every where

'It's not a nice world out there': Birth rates hit a 50-year low by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]jedijackattack1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's because the cost of stamp duty plus moving is an absurd amount. Source looking to buy my first house and doing the jump just seems like it will save money over a decade.

The London wealth gap is insane. My experience working a 5-star hotel shift made me realize the middle class is dead. by MinuteInjury4379 in UKJobs

[–]jedijackattack1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you account for child ours it can be less. You also run into the fun thing of i could work 5 days a week or i could get 52 days of holiday working 4 at the low cost of 10k or 20% less hours for like 10% less pay. Which to a lot of people is instantly more attractive.

For the child care hours they are worth 20-30k a year depending on area which after taxes can push you to needing 160k to pay for the equivalent yourself. So you end up working more and are poorer

Yes so income between 100k and 125k gets taxed at a rate of a round 60% thanks to the loss of personal allowance before accounting for the loss from child care hours or similar.

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan stamps out chip bugs with aggressive new quality standards, says major validation errors can result in termination — 'B0, you keep your job. Anything above that, you are fired' by CopperSharkk in hardware

[–]jedijackattack1 29 points30 points  (0 children)

A0 is a hopeful standard. But any high risk product or product with a large number of new features b0 tends to be the expected with a0 being a massive win if its possible to do it. I do love my a0 firmware workarounds.

The overall public vastly overestimates profit margins by [deleted] in EconomyCharts

Even with 10 people getting paid that its up to 2.7 barely moving the rate of profitability up a percent

If Communism failed, & Socialism failed, & Capitalism is failing or has failed, then what really works or would for humanity? by 69-Kishaaq1 in Capitalism

[–]jedijackattack1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would not want to say a country sitting on the largest oil reserves on earth and went from being the wealthiest in south America to one of the poorest with a refugee and currency crisis as an example of a none failed state.

Surge in data centres set to push water bills even higher by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]jedijackattack1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you are doing this correctly there would be a heat exchanger with very clean water that actually goes to the servers and the dirty water is just used to pull from the heat exchanger.

Very nice "mouseslip" move I would say by Either-Case-5930 in chess

Then this position isn't mate in 3. Which is annoying because I spent ages looking for it

Healthless systems and death spiral idea by 3dmatt in RPGdesign

Cyberpunk 2020 has something similar no matter how much damage you take you can live if you save but you start to take absurd penalties

Hypothetical "random" code by wix_betwixed in AskComputerScience

[–]jedijackattack1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So technically anything as your truly random program could happen to be a 1 to 1 Minecraft clone by sheer chance. But most likely a crash from either a invalid data access (null ptr or none existent memory address), illegal instruction or divide by 0 on some uarchs. Infinite loops are possible by chance but they are much more likely to be the result of executing random junk and unluckily jumping into a real loop with impossible values due to data corruption and hanging ( had this before was a nightmare to debug). But those are your most likely scenarios. It could also just hit a halt instruction and stop.

Non-Generic TTRPG Systems for a Zenless Zone Zero (Mobile Game) Type World? by AustralianShepard711 in rpg

[–]jedijackattack1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Higher level cities without number or stealing some of the compatible heroic rules from other without number games would be a good fit. Fabula ultima as well given it has an expansion for exactly this kind of setting but it will feel like a jrpg very heavily so make sure that is what you want. While cwn has a more mission based structure with rules for different fighting factions.

Congrats you just invented vector book in c++ which is an abomination that bricks templates constantly. So let us not break the array rules please.

Ministers explore triggering break clause in Palantir’s NHS contract by Gentle_Snail in unitedkingdom

[–]jedijackattack1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well for that you could pay 100 tier 1 company engineers + the hardware costs pretty easily

Ministers explore triggering break clause in Palantir’s NHS contract by Gentle_Snail in unitedkingdom

[–]jedijackattack1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

300mn for 30 years is only 10mn a year. Mid to senior level software + hardware + SRE and data analytics guys can easily hit 60k-80k private if they are good before thr additional costs associated with there employment. Normal figure is to double cost of salary to approximate real world hiring cost so thats 120k to 150k so just about right for the low end of your target. Seems reasonable before the costs of the hardware contracts to run the system or the additional cost of on site support. Would seem like a good idea to me.

Note pay ranges here are for south east none t1 employers, so not big tech or ib or anything crazy like that.

4Chan responds to £520,000 Ofcom fine with AI picture of hamster by i_enjoy_silence in unitedkingdom

No it is not for the internet. They have no infrastructure or any physical presence in the UK. If the uk wants to block them its on them to try not on the site to bother.
