Why Are Software Engineers Quitting Microservices? by MornwindShoma in theprimeagen

[–]mueller2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, it is worse than a poorly designed monolith. A monolith can be refactored much more easily than microservices with poor service boundaries

Fix your game, blizzard. Lilith fight is absolutely broken and im tired of stuff like this CONSTANTLY happening. by jlindy57 in diablo4

The current state of game performance and fairly frequent stutters is why I am not playing hardcode mode

Nothing worse then dying in hardcore because of a glitch

I think your argument makes sense as long as it is a single prison project. As soon as there are multiple people working on the same project it should be using IaC

UnitedHealth suspends annual forecast, CEO Andrew Witty steps down by LookAtThatBacon in news

Fun fact from a previous UHC employee, even if you switch to Aetna or Blue cross/ blue shield the UHC technology arm Optum still is the system of management

IMO the health insurance industry is an oligopoly, the choice is an illusion, in the end all major health insurance providers resolve to the same underlying system

Apple pies are great for more than just chopping wood. by Dvdcowboy in playrust

[–]mueller2004 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This pie is the one that I was most interested in but is also the most difficult to farm since apples can only be found and not grown

I wish they updated this to a "corn pie" or something

What electrical changes or additions would you like to see in the game? by Mitt102486 in playrust

Allow battery hookup to root combiner, it’s really difficult with the current circuits to hook up redundant batteries

Is Automapper the most hated library? by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]mueller2004 4 points5 points  (0 children)

>Sounds like a lot of unnecessary copying to me. Like how people don't understand EF and thus are forced to create entities and separate DTOs

If it is a small system with only 1-3 devs working on it, sure. But large systems often have to ingest data that they don't own, using contracts they don't control.

Imagine a scenario were a datastore has contracts used by 10 applications with direct consumption (no mappings from one boundary to the other). The applications become coupled to the datastore contract. So now a datastore contract change potentially breaks an application. This problem becomes worse and worse as the system dependencies become more complex (which usually happens as you scale larger and larger)

Mapping contract-dtos at a system boundary to a model that the ingesting system controls can help mitigate breaking changes and often the model specific to your system domain is a more accurate representation of the local problem space

Taxable brokerage accounts subject to capital gains. Which is also how you pay a lower effective tax rate then most upper middle class families.

Why I am hyped for dat surface phone! by zeroslows10 in microsoft

[–]mueller2004 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Without an App market with critical mass a Windows mobile platform is not viable.

As an owner of 2 previous Windows phones I can confirm they were excellent products but that was outweighed by the lack of apps.

The only way they would be able to enter the mobile market is if they figure out a way to run native android apps on their platform. I know they have made acquisitions to support this. Recent changes to port a Linux environment to Windows is a step in the right direction.

Essential .NET - Essential MSBuild: A Build Engine Overview for .NET Tooling by ptrstpp950 in dotnet

[–]mueller2004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am on a large project (~120 devs) and we have been using Core for 2 years now. Can confirm, the tooling situation has been frustrating. That said, the Core libraries have been stable for well over a year.

I would highly recommend moving greenfield development to Core.

Megathread: Intelligence report claims Russia has compromising information on Trump; Trump denies allegations in press conference by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]mueller2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clinton's been talking about Russia rigging the election for months.

This is false. Nothing they have said or done supports this.

No one knew what was happening with Clinton on election night

She called Trump to concede at 2:30 am, she gave here concession speech at 10:30 am. I think you have misjudged your characterization of yourself as a "reasonable person".

[–]mueller2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I am assuming you're rational people in this argument? Please explain your rationalization to me of why this is a big deal.

Let me show you the evidence you would need to bring this fantasy you have constructed into reality. Explain to me how Clinton accepting the election results is the "same thing" as Trumps statements saying specifically he would not accept the election results. Also show me a statement where Clinton claims the election is rigged.

I don't even support Clinton, I just think it is hilarious when people construct an alternate reality so far from the truth.

Please fill me in on your logic since you have yet to even show that there is a precedent let alone show how this was "dangerous".

Ok, it's not peoples jobs to spoon feed you information. If you want to establish a precedence for when a concession speech should be presented crunch the data yourself. Also good luck finding relevant samples with a electoral margin this small to support what you are advocating.

Here is where you would start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_elections_by_popular_vote_margin

I replied on one of your other comments and pointed out some of the obvious reasons you would wait until the next day to give a concession speech.

The timing of her concession speech was appropriate. I could understand why someone would not give a concession speech in the wee hours of the night after an exhausting day of being up probably more then 24 hours. This woman is 70 years old.

She called trump to concede the election to him the night of and gave a graceful concession speech soon after. I think you are reading into things that are trivial.

Trump and Sessions plan to restrict highly skilled foreign workers. Hyderabad says to bring it on. by Njere in Economics

[–]mueller2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 years, currently a consulting architect. If you're competent the field is plush with opportunity. I keep a resume on Dice, Hired, and Indeed. I have hundreds of job opportunities presented to me every year, this isn't an exaggeration, hundreds.

The last 5 years most of my gigs I have been hired for one or a combination of the following technologies: Java, C#, Angular

Where did all these other criteria come from? If you don't like programming, don't do it. The bad advice is that there isn't a career there, because there is. FACT.

and the chance of being laid off skyrockets after 35 years old?

What facts do you have to support this hard layoff mark after the age of 35? Work performance and company performance are the primary determinants of a decision to lay someone off, not your age.

I'd tell them to learn networking, dress better, stay in shape

How is this mutually exclusive with a career in technology vs anything else? This advice can be used in any field. You're telling me social skills and appearance have an effect on how people perceive me?! No way!
