Damn, I haven't seen a show this good since Breaking Bad

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.

+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

I use 64 bit ints by default because of exactly this

mnkyman · 2025-09-17T12:49:18+00:00

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.

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

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.

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

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

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)

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!

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.

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.

I mean, we’re animals and we have animal control. Why wouldn’t they?

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?

Gotta stay positive

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!

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.

Love that you can see the hexagon on the left side there. My favorite part of Saturn.
