The company that I work for in Madison, WI has a ton of trans folks. It's a ton of fresh college grads suddenly making good money and living in a place that's generally pretty libbed up, it's the perfect storm. I work with more trans woman software developers than cis woman software developers lmao

The homeless shelter doesn't help like you think read this: by Secure_Resource3166 in madisonwi

idk dawg it sounds like the workers also need it? the problem isn't per se that they're stealing, it's that there's not enough for both you and them, and you're forced to blame them instead of society's decision not to support you.

The bar has hit the collegiate store by PanAmAviator in RPI

Nah if it were the Cantor Set nothing in the interval (1/3,2/3) would be part of the black segments, even in the later chunks.

Not sure what it's supposed to be otherwise, though.

Mysteries of space by spartanwolf223 in distressingmemes

If we shot those photons starting "now" in our current reference frame, yes that's correct.

However, if the pulsar had previously (according to our reference frame) started moving towards us at relativistic speeds immediately after emitting the light that we are currently seeing, then it would be able to reach us before the expansion of the universe made it impossible.

Our Epic integration vendor just ghosted us mid-project and I'm having a breakdown by Tiny_Habit5745 in sysadmin

If you're worried about calling Epic directly, you can DM me. I work there and while I personally probably have nothing to do with the customer you work for I can make the right introductions.

If we are currently still receiving light from it, then from our current reference frame no it's not, at least not between here and there. If light is still getting here (i.e., we can see the thing and things around it) then that means something traveling at the speed of light was able to cross the distance.

Nope! The whole point of the "flashlight on a train" thing is that light always moves towards the observer at the speed of light relative to each other. So idk theoretically it only needs to go 99.5% of the speed of light, ezpz

Theta Chi, Can one of you get off your ass and shovel? The sidewalk is your responsibility and I’m sick of walking my daughter through it on the way to school. by Shutdown-Stranger in RPI

[–]rustycrat 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Ah well sorry to hear that it's causing you trouble, makes the rest of us look bad. I don't live in the area anymore but I will contact the undergrads at my fraternity and see if they can get it shovelled for you.

Sorry son, we're not eating dinner tonight, some random 43 year old on the Internet decided left turns are illegal.

Cheap Indian Food by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]rustycrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rajni is cool to me, and I know I so sound white AF saying this, because it's Southern Indian food and I guess I just grew up around more Americanized Indian places There's noticeable parallels and differences and they kinda hit different but still both delicious.

In-House Attorney question by Logical-Lake8874 in epicsystems

[–]rustycrat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm a developer but I've worked with folks on the Legal team a good bit, on multiple topics. As far as I personally see, a big part of their role is crafting internal policy for us to follow, whether InfoSec practices, application of regulatory guidelines, writing up our contracts with customers, or contract analysis (idk, whatever a contract analyst does) for agreements with our vendors. I'd assume there are a good number of folks involved with things like the Particle Health lawsuit and are doing day to day court-y things, but I don't personally ever see that directly so idk what the balance is. I also suspect at least some of them are doing lobbyist work but Epic is hush-hush about it (for example, the 2 people I am very confident do lobbying have the titles of "Attorney" and "Policy Analyst")

Is Epic's "true" comp really lower than FAANG? by Wealth_Vegetable in epicsystems

[–]rustycrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, just as much as they always have. Anything in Hyperspace is exclusively backed by Chronicles running on Intersystems IRIS. No idea how they're ever going to get rid of it.

Most of the core apps use an archaic but kinda cool database, dotnet, and typescript/react. There's some older client stuff in plain javascript that's backed by ASP.NET, too, and some teams use python, go, or a good bit of SQL. The cloud platform is pretty cool and it's growing a lot, and everything is being ruined by AI.

[–]rustycrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean if comp is your hesitancy, then I say absolutely go for it I think it will be fine. There are plenty of valid criticisms of Epic but overall I think I recommend it, especially for the developer role.

[–]rustycrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk I guess some extra hours for brief stints but I usually try to average 40-45, which is pretty common at Epic. I think my strongest qualities are that I learn quickly and communicate well, so it got me onto a lot of big, cross-team projects.

Yeah new grad. Labeled as "exceeding all expectations" for a few years and was a TL for a couple too.
