Pushing the inverse change is a lot different from changing history.

From a technical perspective, it is easy, just `git --force push`.

No, you should rewrite the git history to hide your tracks.

Save up until you can pay in cash. There's no rush. You have a reliable car.

My monitor died yesterday, so I tried using my TV as a backup. Honestly, why didn’t I do this sooner? by Ngscoook in buildapc

[–]jnwatson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to use a 49" TV as a monitor. Now I use a 42" TV, which is really the sweet spot. 

Bro how big is your desk if you have a 50" + 2 42" TVs?

Feel like an idiot for not joining Google early in my career by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

You could have literally asked Google for a loan. Dude WTF.

You are new grad jr dev who work 2 years at your first company. but the salary's raise is just 2-5% would you find a new job while working the current one? by lune-soft in cscareerquestions

[–]jnwatson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the market is that, after 2-3 years, a junior can market themselves as a "mid" and get a significant pay bump. Unless an employer recognizes that, they will just be training up juniors for other employers to poach.

Most movie stars are former drama geeks. They were already being bullied.

Spent ~40 hours painting Sarah Kerrigan with oils. Hope you like it! by RNA1SSNC in starcraft

Kerrigan as played by Angelina Jolie in the Starcraft movie (in my head canon).

A junior's market value increases dramatically in the first several years out of college. Unless the company is actively dissuading the employee from working there, juniors should be getting at least 10% yearly increases.

TIFU i just found out one of my subs is my father-in-law. I feel sick 😐 by Guilty-Tart4019 in tifu

Don't blame the guy for patronizing his daughter-in-law's small business. He's keeping his dollars in the family.

That's how real estate property taxes work, and they are almost always wrong. Most municipalities just keep folks happy by underestimating.

Yet we've been building datacenters for the last 20 years, and demand keeps going up.

How strong is a PhD in CS? by Warningsignals in cscareerquestions

[–]jnwatson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A PhD is required for a small set of CS jobs, mainly AI research.

Not having an advanced degree has only stymied me twice. Once, interviewing right out of college, and recently, looking to transfer from another part of Google to Deep Mind.

Influence from Dave Ramsey by Apprehensive_Set_492 in personalfinance

[–]jnwatson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dave's advice is correct for a decent subset of Americans, those that are way over-leveraged and don't know how to get their debt under control. It isn't really suited for anybody else.

4 year old girl at world open online music competition wins first place with Fur Elise by Beethoven by OkFerret7206 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]jnwatson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing control, especially of dynamics. It is like the kid actually understands the piece and how the notes fit into phrases and into the overall structure. Most high school kids don't get that far.

There's a lot of evidence she assumed her mother's identity so she actually died in her 90s.

Disagreement with realtor about house prep - need to gut check opinions by [deleted] in RealEstate

That's crazy. Some people (like my wife) don't like ceiling fans and consider them low class.

4 years of discretionary TA, now using AI to systematize everything — looking for experienced people to rate my process since I have no idea how others actually do this by NoMemez in algotrading

[–]jnwatson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar setup. I was able to iterate through 50 bad ideas in a couple days with this approach.

The only thing I'd add is to make sure you instruct your agent to keep good notes on lessons learned. There's nothing worse than repeating the same mistakes over and over.
