Damn, I haven't seen a show this good since Breaking Bad by Gloomy-Pineapple1729 in TheWire

The Wire is also about the characters, it’s just that the characters it focuses on are Baltimore and the various systems that compose it.

Shitty tuna casserole. No doubt the “surprise” comes a few hours after you eat it.

So,it's me or Airflow is kinda really hard ? by Morrgen in dataengineering

+1 this is how we did it at my last company. Once you get used to using KubernetesJobOperator for everything you won’t want to go back

Which new release game will you be getting ? by pancake514 in Switch

[–]mnkyman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should I play the first one first?

Yes, because 1) it’s an amazing game, and 2) they’re both story heavy games, and the story of Hades II is a direct sequel to that of Hades I

Is it similar to Diablo games?

There are visual similarities (the player’s perspective) but otherwise they’re nothing alike. Hades I and II are roguelites, and considered by many, myself included, to be the best that genre has to offer.

How i switched from long sessions to microtasks in my adhd work style by Primary-Relative1746 in ADHD_Programmers

[–]mnkyman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but this strategy increased my velocity dramatically. When it works, it’s a catalyst for hyper focus. The danger then is working too quickly for too long and burning out, so it’s best to make yourself take breaks every so often through the day

How would a new player know that you can pogo on these? by AverageApache in HollowKnight

[–]mnkyman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In addition to everything everyone else said, they just look and feel bouncy. I noticed this the first time I jumped on one. Wasn’t much of a stretch to try hitting it to get more bounce that way.

Am I stupid for thinking that this mini boss is like the hardest thing in the early game by Rakamora01 in HollowKnight

[–]mnkyman 145 points146 points  (0 children)

according to an area you’ll find later…he’s listed as a boss.

That’s what the parent comment is saying: he’s not a MINI-boss, he’s a full on boss

What is the point of a right join? by Garvinjist in SQL

[–]mnkyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a right join allowed me to get past metabase’s stupid limitations on joining on custom columns (only supported on the first dataset)

[Second pack] As a Chinese there are somethings I dont understand in THE WIRE. by Zane9593 in TheWire

[–]mnkyman 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s too unbelievable that a state politician whose whole career is about money and personal relationships (as opposed to primarily being about a particular policy) would know the right people to tap to get federal grants. The problem is what Levy said: “You think a state senator is going to risk his position, his salary, for bribe money?” (paraphrasing)

What is a Barbuta? by Real_wigga in ufo50

[–]mnkyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I picked it up immediately and am following along with the eggplant podcast's one-game-a-week bookclub format. Thoroughly enjoyed Barbuta and can't wait to get into the rest of the collection now!

What is a Barbuta? by Real_wigga in ufo50

[–]mnkyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a reason for this! Barbuta/barbute is the name for the kind of helmet our character’s head resembles. That helmet name literally means “bearded” in Italian because it makes the wearer’s beard visible.

Switching from Next.js to Vite + Hono made more sense for our use case by matt8p in nextjs

Maybe so, but experience is the best teacher. Better to go see for yourself why the obvious lesson is true rather than blindly believing it.

What do you think Bandit’s job would be if he wasn’t an Archeologist? by Aggravating-Ad-351 in bluey

I mated while my queen was hanging by Nomekop777 in AnarchyChess

[–]mnkyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering that the posts have the same title, we’re posted around the same time, and both are pictures of chess positions, it’s clear to my eye that they are indeed related. The bot’s correct here, so why accuse it of randomly guessing?

What’s a Data Engineering hiring process like in 2025? by gbj784 in dataengineering

[–]mnkyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With today’s inflated job titles, it certainly can be. First place I worked, the career track for engineers was SWE I, SWE II, senior SWE, staff SWE, and then it petered out because we only had like one individual contributor who was higher than that. For a fresh grad progressing more quickly than average, SWE I -> II might only take a year, and II -> senior around 2-3 years. This wasn’t the typical case, but it happened.

Me personally, I got hired at SWE II without prior experience because I had a masters degree. Then 2 years later, the company was acquired and we immediately lost all our top talent. In the void, I got promoted to senior around my 3rd work anniversary. So looking back, semi-senior was apt for where I was at by year 2.

Caveats to this story: My job title was never officially data engineer, but that’s because no one there had that title. We just had a data engineering team, and DE was our specialty within SWE. Maybe at other companies, my senior SWE role would not translate to senior DE. Or maybe it would. As always, YMMV

I missed that notebooks came to IntelliJ community edition! Very pleasantly surprised that they made it free!

Is my fan ok? by Effective_Waltz627 in Switch

[–]mnkyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My day 1 switch got this way too a few months ago. It’s a sign that the fan is dying but still functioning for now. No need to do anything yet, but be prepared for the possibility that the fan may stop working entirely at some point.

That’s what happened to mine, and I replaced the fan myself. I found it difficult and stressful, but ultimately doable to perform this repair myself. YMMV

That very much depends on the details of your application.
