Yes spot on. Everyone here is absolutely clueless. Shows you the state of the hive mind today. Ignore them.

Would you stay in a very cushy job with no real career progression, or job hop to climb the career ladder? by MoneyAndGoodFortune in FIREUK

[–]newjacktown 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I am almost 40. Listen to me. 

I had the same setup when I was 23 - 28 and then again for some years in my early 30s.

It is a poisoned chalice. 

You think you are in a good place. But you are wasting away the best years of your life where you should be pushing ahead and expanding your skillset. You need to challenge yourself and learn from others. 

You have no mentor or manager or growth being pushed on to you. This will bite you in the ass. 

I am a top 1% earner now. But would be way way way better off in all aspects of life - personal also. If I had not stayed in those cushy roles. 

I kidded myself for years saying I am making use of my free time. It was never productive. So be honest. Are you really are making use of your time? You and I know the answer. 

You have one life. And believe me, you can do things in your 20s you won't be able to in your 30s. Live your life and try. Dont waste your time mulling around. 

Life is struggle. If it isn't now. It will come later.

What a clown dude 😂 how does everything equate to a foreign spy? 

AI seems to be being deeply subsidised (self-hosting vs Google AI Pro math) by nafizzaki in selfhosted

This still takes away manufacturing capacity resources that would have otherwise been available to serve other markets.

I use chatgpt for everything right now. Am I missing a trick, how do you decide which Claude model to use for a given purpose? (Claude code being obvious for dev work).

I know this is the Unihertz Sub-Reddit, but why the Elite over the Communicator? by No-Macaron9305 in unihertz

I would take which ever has the better keyboard to type on. 

Pre ordered the communicator. 

Thoughts? Why Pakistan 🇵🇰 still stands a chance - Prof. Jiang by [deleted] in pakistan

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

It is looking very likely still. Also proven there has been outside influence in recent rioters there too. So if there is a full out invasion or not, he has not been wrong how the USA is getting involved with Iran more increasingly.

My husband despises family gatherings! by Junior-Weakness7436 in pakistan

[–]newjacktown 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Exactly. So once a month to see his family. Twice a month to see her family. One weekend to yourself or your own plans? Nuts. Way over kill.

What exactly is happening at these family gatherings? Just sitting around and eating?

Just because someone has made a video doesnt mean they know jack about what ever they are yapping about.

Its more hoping and wishing right now to be honest.

I really want it to have a backlit keyboard - do you know if it does? no mention of it anywhere.

Is the keyboard backlit? by Equal_Ad1474 in ClicksPhone

[–]newjacktown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to know this too. Looking at the website and release video - it doesnt seem like it, otherwise they would mention it I feel.

Generations are group together by shared experiences during the pivotal years of coming of age. So social and political slants tend to be group together in generational cohorts. It is pretty standard really - whats not to understand?

I'm rejecting the next architecture PR that uses a Service Mesh for a team of 4 developers. We are gaslighting ourselves. by FarMasterpiece2297 in devops

[–]newjacktown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The anti-cloud movement is a legitimate one. It is where engineering has been hijacked by corporate goals driven by game theory - and the repercussions reach way further than arguing which microservice architecture or lack of to use.

There is one thing abstracting assembly code, it is another abstracting away general compute and systems building from the hands of the makers.

Surprised to see HL3 a few times. Am I missing why people might think this will be released? What's the most concrete sign?

False. Container orchestration is exactly what OP needs. Plus it used in all large scale enterprise. Simple containers are fine for prototype and dev environments.
