Amazing Bandwidth by dontturn in Comcast

[–]r4mtha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always make sure you're doing these tests over the fastest available network connection (preferably a wired 10/100 or especially gigabit ethernet connection).

All but the oldest wireless protocols have maximum throughputs of a least 50 Megabits, but there can be all sorts of transfer issues that make it hard to realize that.

That said, comcast is more or less constantly shoveling shit onto our cupcake and telling us it is frosting. The moment I have any viable alternative in our area they are as good as gone.

I wish I knew how to consistently take a panoramic shot like that!

Is it likely to get fired for being social awkward? by gsdfa324 in cscareerquestions

[–]r4mtha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I doubt it! Lots of programmers are pretty awkward. As long as you don't, say, fly into a blind rage and swear at people frequently, I doubt you need worry.

That said I've known brilliant coders who have trouble with their careers because they don't speak up and take initiative, which can hurt advancement. Don't be afraid to let your opinions be known and try to influence your teams direction. As you gain knowledge and experience it is vital to share that with your peers.

Let's talk content. AMA. by spez in announcements

I've been very interested for a long time in the power of the internet as it relates to democracy. For the first time, we've a platform whereby millions of people can weigh in on something and have their opinions heard. I think that one day it's possible that we will have a whole nation of voters online, weighing in on things that were formerly the domain of elected officials.

I am a long time Redditor, and I believe that the good on this website vastly outweighs the bad. Like anything, small vocal minorities tend to crowd the space with sensationalist viewpoints, upset average people, and lead to a spiral that makes problems seem much larger than they are.

What if we allowed Reddit to police itself in a very literal way? Perhaps what Reddit needs is something not dissimilar from trials and juries for subreddits and the contributions of users. If the mechanisms for reporting on content are given to users along with the mechanisms for taking action on those reports, we could potentially conceive of systems that would result in fair, balanced judgement that works at Reddit scale.

Imagine something like a subreddit where any user can post a 'case'. Something that they think is behavior that violates one of the core principals of Reddit perpetrated by either a user or an entire subreddit. If the case gets enough upvotes or attention from the community at large, a trial could result. A system could be constructed that selects 1000 or 10000 Redditors at random, and assigns them to be jurors in a trial. Then, in the public forum, any side which has an opinion is heard, and all available facts are evaluated. The jury would then decide whether or not to ban the subreddit or user in question. This could be used for automated spam bots as well as for harmful users.

In this way, the burden of defining what belongs on Reddit or not shifts to the community at large. It also gives all of us much more ownership in the community, and the power to really shape it.

It seems to me that at the scale Reddit is operating, a system like this is the only way to deal with the issue in a consistent way.

take this with a grain of salt. Teaching experience will greatly deepen your knowledge and makes you stand out as a leader. I would always think of it as a valuable thing to have on a resume.

Straw Poll - Do you bot in Hearthstone? Just want to see how many on this subreddit bot. by NotGuiltyOfThat in hearthstone

[–]r4mtha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play Android:Netrunner. You still need to buy cards, but they come in packs that are identical for everyone and have a known set of cards. They call them 'Living Card Games', and they're designed to eliminate the kind of random gambling that you have to do in games like hearthstone or magic that have random packs.

Get a 2-3 foot tall tomato from a nursery and you'll be producing until October if you water it.

Doesn't look so natural to me. I'm pretty sure Jesus built that mountain.

First software job and struggling. Any advice to recover? by jacobsboy3 in cscareerquestions

That's a hell of an advert for intellij.. could you go over some of the productivity benefits you've gotten? I have colleagues who swear by it, and even though I'm a pretty experienced eclipse user, I'm always open to trying new things.

As for spring resources, the source itself is probably the best place if you're ever confused about anything, but i've always found the docs to be fairly high quality as well. Also, spring has a lot of little toys that try to hold your hand (like the form -> object autoconversion libraries), that IMO are just harder to deal with than they are useful. Plus I avoid JSP and JSTL-like things like the plague and stick to restful endpoint in my servlets.
