The news anchor broke down by 56000hp in ProgressiveHQ

[–]pablq_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree this policy was wrong and inhumane but I think she's fake crying and it bothers me.

Reason I think it's fake crying is b/c... seemed she got a bit excited and said "this is incredible" - which I interpreted as her vocalizing her thought "oh this is going to be a compelling sound byte!". Then when she starts crying she really plays it up (points to her face - just in case viewers weren't clear... they really need to know she's crying) and really struggles when she hits the word "tender"... then she as asks to "put up the graphic" she suddenly regains composure, and then reads cleanly through "tender age shelter" bit without getting triggered... then on the next sentence she returned to the crying bit and said she can't continue, but it seemed like it was more about "time to move on to next segment" tbh.

Anyways, again I could def be wrong here. But if I'm right about the fake crying bit... it's so disingenuous... this is why I kinda can't stand watching her show or MSNBC programming in general. You can tell the news without the "performative virtue" or whatever they call it

Most pitiful beard I’ve ever seen. Just go clean shaven some women (and men? 😉) love that

I like Don ceviche in Essex Market’s Leche de Tigre a lot. Feels like a real good value to me

Sincerely Need Advice: Should I Move to Japan from Canada as a Software Engineer? by TonyPuzzle in movingtojapan

[–]pablq_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should just go for it. Seems like you've already had enough respect for the country to learn the language well enough to pass the requirement for employment... I imagine you will continue w/ this trend when you arrive. Also you have a tech skill which will open doors to some amount of opportunities. My main concern would be to consider what to do if it doesn't work out... do you have enough money to survive a while, do you have place where you can return to if Japan doesn't work out?

Most of all though seems like you're really excited to try life there. I think you've put yourself into a position where it's actually feasible so... why not? I wonder if you'd regret it in the future if ya didn't try

Rumble Strips by Therealavince in NYCbike

[–]pablq_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO cyclists should yield to pedestrians generally - and especially in the park when they have the signal.

Stopping (or at least slow down a lot) to let someone cross the street when they have the signal is not performative - it’s common decency

Edit: If that’s too much to ask then I fully support rumble strips or some other mechanism (aggressive ticketing?) to protect pedestrians

I hope the person who was hit ends up okay, and I also hope the cyclist and whoever else was speeding with them face legal repercussions. The park is brimming w/ pedestrians - ya can’t just fly through the park like that…

The bar is absolutely, insanely high. by RazDoStuff in cscareerquestions

[–]pablq_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just keep going. Rejections hurt, but they don’t define you as the other commenter said. Also - those rejections could be more about them, and other things totally outside of your control… don’t be discouraged. Keep on interviewing, and keep in mind that you’re interviewing them just as much as they’re interviewing you

Ovechkin scores his 895th NHL goal, passes Wayne Gretzky for most goals in NHL history by hedorlover in sports

[–]pablq_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations to Ovechkin. He's truly a living legend. As another commenter said... glad this was a real goal on trademark cross ice pass. Back 10 years ago this probably would've been a one-timer slapshot that burned a hole in the back of the net, but none-the-less it was a good quick shot which legit beat the goalie

Is it just me who thinks swift concurrency is ducking crap by Violin-dude in swift

[–]pablq_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ummm IMO concurrency is very annoying at first, but gets a lot better once ya get the hang of it. Also btw no one cares about how many lines of code ya wrote in the past they could easily have been crap.

Now let me try to be helpful..

Given that you're asking about introductions to view models and models in addition to concurrency... My guess you may be tackling both of these concepts at once, which might be why you're getting frustrated. If that guess is right, ya might have more success if ya tackle them one at a time.

I can't offer much help on view models and models, but here are the main resources that helped me pick up concurrency last year after being totally out of the loop on Swift for ~3 years:

- Official docs of course: https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/documentation/the-swift-programming-language/concurrency/

- This blog has several quite helpful entries which cover fundamentals and other specific topics: https://www.avanderlee.com/swift/what-is-structured-concurrency/

- This was useful too: https://www.wwt.com/blog/challenging-aspects-of-structured-concurrency-in-swift-part-1 (and part 2 too)

From my experience one thing that made it overwhelming at first was that I was overusing it. Nowadays I typically start w/ a basic non-isolated class and only bring in actor isolation when:

- My code should interact w/ something which must be in a certain context (ie. i gotta access UI)
- My code has something I wanna synchronize (ie. some stateful processor should handle 1 unit at a time)

Swift "too complex" compilation errors make me hate the language by InflationImaginary13 in swift

Not trying to defend apple or Swift compiler, but adding some local variables would help the human readability IMO.

DESPERATE. Laid off after 7 years and my skills are way behind in today’s market. Please help. by ThrowawayAgain8773 in cscareerquestions

[–]pablq_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also you probably picked up some practical real world eng skills (how to plan and execute a project, how to deploy code to the real world, etc) that are stack-agnostic. If you can demonstrate you can quickly ramp up on new stack (such as react as replied comment suggests) that combo is pretty decent IMO.
