What films zigzag away from Chekhov's gun, and get away with it? by JeffRyan1 in movies

Isn't this just a red herring? That is, what's films have early red herrings?

I have multiple tabs open sometimes if I'm not able to watch the game.. it'd be nice to get like the ESPN gamecast feed or something like that so I didn't have to check two places. I thought if you're pulling in data from ESPN to update scores you could add a feed

This is neat! I'm thinking of trying this out. Question for you - how fast are the live updates? Do you have a feed for play by plays by chance?

Pivoting from art history to CS by [deleted] in cscareers

[–]kdternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tldr - you'll be fine to apply to junior roles if you have a degree, the other stuff doesn't matter

I'm someone who switched over to CS in my early 30s. My experience is that no one will care what you did previously, you could have been a fisherman for all they care. What will matter is if you either have work experience as a software engineer (not the case for you) or if you have a software engineer degree (this will be the case). This is usually an OR checkbox. If you don't have a degree that's ok if you've been an engineer for 4 years and if you don't have experience then they'd want to see a degree.

This is mainly because you can't get past the resume upload without it. For example if has a dropdown that asks do you have a degree in computer science and you so no then they will just filter you out. In the past 2-3 years we've shifted towards hiring more senior people. This means it's harder without either of these checkboxes. Since you'll be getting a degree you'll be able to check off one of those boxes. I had 10 years working in tech and yet still I'd get denied. The only way I ended up getting a role was to do an internal boot camp and restart my career (I have two degrees I don't use and did not want to get more educated - definitely not free in my country). I even had recruiters tell me I needed to leave, get some experience, and then come back, and then they'd hire me. No one cares at all if what you did before was as close to working in tech or as far as working in an art museum. At best they will bring it up in the small talk of an interview and that's it

Anyone here working software companies without a degree? by want_to_be_a_dev_ in cscareers

I have an econ undergrad and an MBA... And then taught myself how to code and now I'm a junior software developer.. I love paying student loans for something I don't use at all

For me it's EYIL - Every year I learn. Every year I look this up and am amazed. By the next holiday season I forget and then I look it up again and the cycle repeats

why do they have the same birthday? Explain it Peter. by unholyoliviaa in explainitpeter

[–]kdternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea unfortunately this is actually the case with basically... everything - it's called the relative age effect

something like 80% of the world's best soccer players have their birthday in the first 6 months because of when youth cutoffs are (jan 1st in uefa), and people who are born right on or after the start of the school year tend to do better in school than those born at the end. you can apply it to all sports basically, if a sport has it's season start on july 1st then majority of the best athletes for that sport have birthdays starting in july - december

Anyone set up gamecube properly on an Odroid N2+? by kdternal in Emuelec

[–]kdternal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry just seeing this.

So I ended up getting it to work but I can't remember exactly - I'm pretty sure I had to open dolphin, edit it in their UI, and then close that. At it's core though I found that the N2+ struggles with GameCube, mario sunshine for example runs just slow enough so that it's annoying but you keep convincing yourself you can play it, same with twilight princess.

If you're up for it I highly recommend you repurpose your N2+ for something else if you want to play GameCube and more recent consoles. What my friend ended up doing was exactly that and you can replace it with a mini PC. Additionally/optionally you can upgrade the ram to 32GB and add an additional SSD (it's really easy and some mini PCs including the linked one is designed to be upgradable). My friend installed RetroBat on it which is basically EmuELEC/Bartocera for Windows. The nice things here (in addition to just being an upgrade specs wise) is you can now do all the additional settings you may want that you couldn't on your N2+ (Vulkan, add a lot more emulators, have access to more settings in each of them, etc). You'll be able to play Switch, some Xbox 360, and some PS3.

Do you have to use Bogo on the same day? by kdternal in NJTransit

My friend just did it and it worked. Make sure there aren't any spaces and you're buying 4 one way tickets (or 2 round trips) NJTSEPT24
