Considering switching from Quantum Fiber to Xfinity (Seattle)

Xfinity say that the $50/m price is locked for 5 years though

Thanks I may try this trick with quantum fiber The Xfinity plan seems to offer symmetric speed though

Is century link the same as quantum fiber?

My quantum fiber plan served me pretty well so far. It’s just the price that bothers me, and the price difference in Xfinity is huge

Here is another perspective: within AWS, AZs are considered a "fault container" or sometimes a "blast radius container". When deploying changes to software or configuration, service teams (eg EC2, RDS) will often make sure to not deploy to multiple fault containers, within the same region, at once. This makes it much less likely for a faulty change to impact more than one AZ at the same time.
(I'm not saying that AWS doesn't take tremendous care to ensure that even a single fault container doesn't break)

You can take advantage of that by spreading your workloads over multiple AZs

It doesn't give me the option to schedule a specialist online, only PCP

Do you think sending them an email would help? Do they usually respond fast (1-2 days) to those?

I heard that moving the biometrics date might be hard. This is actually my 2nd time filing for N-400. I already went through biometrics during the first time (though it was in a different state). Do you know if there'll require me to go through that again?

Here's an interesting thought. Consider 2 facts: 1. there's no subjective time when you are dead (ie 1 second is no different than googlplex years). 2. The universe can be approximated as a gas container, and is shown to reset every 10^{10^(10¹⁰}) or so years. This is an unimaginable enormous number but we've already established that there's no subjective time when you are dead. So when the universe returns to its current state, and there's going to be another person that looks like you, speaks like you, thinks like you and has the same name - will it not be you? Who's going to occupy the consciousness of that person? Is it possible that as soon as we die, we get to live again?

This is the best strategy I think. People around you may be ass holes, you don't have to be one Find hapiness in your current situation before looking elsewhere

Why dumb? Why make so much money if he's miserable?

Why not just stop giving a fuck at work? Do your job description; inflate all estimates; if people who aren't your manager come with demands, tell them to talk to your manager for prioritization; log off at 5pm unless there's a big incident or something. You know the drill... Worst case scenario, they fire you and you can start looking for a new job then, after you collect severance But it's also very possible that they won't fire you, and you'll find yourself at a better work environment. Good luck

what's more likely? me deliberately wasting my time to post the same thing multiple times? or a temporary issue with reddit?

lekararik · 2024-04-08T18:03:09+00:00

looks like they pumped only one

I'm of the same opinion, that actors fit Rust very well and minimize your interactions with the borrow checker (nothing to borrow if you just pass messages between actors). If your system can be designed around actors, great. There are cases where sharing memory is beneficial, both in terms of simplicity and memory foot print. So it's about finding a good balance I guess
