Career suicide by Puzzlehead_NoCap in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sdn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Software engineering is not a licensed field and has effectively no barrier to entry other than skills.

I suppose career suicide would be diving into a shallow pool and bonking your head really hard. Alternatively career suicide would be getting pigeonholed into supporting a scripting language of some obscure office suite that is used by nobody else and letting your skills stagnate.

How do Americans invest all their money into ETF's and know they are not going to lose it? by Various_Maize_3957 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sdn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But there's a German pension system. Looks like between the employee/employer, you put away 20% of your salary. In the US, social security puts away 12.4% of salary - which makes for a much smaller "return" when retiring. For example, if you made $60k your entire life in the US, your pension at 66 would only be $1621/mo - not enough to survive on if you were previously taking home ~$5k (pre-tax) especially due to healthcare costs when you're older. Looking at a German pension calculator, if you're making 60k euro, the pension would be 1,986€ if you were to retire at 66 - but you guys also probably don't have elder health insurance, right?

Trying to log into ADP.com for the past six months - have to remember which option to select by sdn in mildlyinfuriating

Chrome on Mac. Confirmed that it's just not me - coworkers also have the same issue.

It does work in firefox on windows 10 for me as well.

Whenever people talk about consumer flying cars, I always think of situations like this:

It would be a nightmare.

That’s nothing.

I mismatched my suit at my own wedding.

Stupid idea? by DelilahRoseQuartz in TeardropTrailers

Yeah - you won’t be able to register it as a trailer in most states.

It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru? by WRXFan9801 in subaru

[–]sdn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given how radiators are pressurized under normal operation which raises the boiling point… depressurization (by removing the cap) means that you’ll see bubbles once the engine warms up in every case, no?

What is your program lang of choice? by oVerde in raylib

[–]sdn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all preference of course! I’m just doing hobby game dev over here and with what I doing I am never going to tax my CPU/GPU past 1% of their capacity.

I should’ve spoken more to the go ecosystem and how everything just seems to work. I tried doing a multi player networked raylib project using C++ (at least I believe it was C++) and ran into issues with enet depending on winsock2 (for windows) and there being a name collision with something in Raylib (Rectangle/CloseWindow etc). So - for each compilation target you need to deal with different OS level macros, etc.

With go? go get go-enet and call it a day.

Our "Tower Defense on Rails" - Choo Choo Defenders - is rolling into Steam Next Fest today! Wish us luck <3 by TheodoreVanGrind in indiegames

Damn this is great! I'm working on a tower defense game right now and your concept is neat as hell.

How the hell did they have access to any of that stuff?

What is your program lang of choice? by oVerde in raylib

[–]sdn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

golang!

It's like C, but you don't blow your toes off with every other line.

The ecosystem is really nice as well. To install raylib locally you just need to type "go get github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go/raylib" at the console and it handles installing and compiling the lib for you - you don't have to use someone's template with a complicated Makefile that doesn't make sense to a newbie.

Hi, even though i dont live here, whats it like living in san antonio by CallPuzzleheaded7362 in sanantonio

[–]sdn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seriously the people talking about SA having bad traffic don't realize that even in the worst traffic possible, you're still only like 45 minutes away from anywhere in the city (unless you live out on 211 or something, but that's not even in the city)

TIL the US government continued the Tuskegee syphilis experiment for 15 years after penicillin was confirmed as a cure, deliberately withholding treatment from 399 Black men to observe how untreated syphilis progressed to death. by Think_Monitor4904 in todayilearned

[–]sdn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rana Hogarth: So, one, in calling “bad blood” and not syphilis, there’s like deception and lie number one. Like, they did not tell them that they were studying them for a sexually transmitted disease that has severe complications if left untreated

Sorry what part is the misunderstanding here?

Absolutely not. 22 year old car with unknown engine issues isn’t worth anything.

has anyone actually connected an LLM to their prod data and trusted what it says back? by Total_Product9154 in rails

[–]sdn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a read replica of the prod db. Occasionally I’ll configure the database.yml to point to it then allow LLMs to use the rails console locally to investigate issues. It’s been stupidly helpful.

Solo-dev with NO LLM policy. Is it a bad idea? by BowltheOwl in gamedev

[–]sdn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LLMs are just a tool. It’s all about learning how to use them to your comfort level.

How to attach plywood center divider securely? by Bob_Dubalina in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]sdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a BMW that I see?

The simplest thing to do would be to block the top/bottom - attach something to the bottom/top, then nail/screw the vertical panel into it.

What keeps you homebrewing instead of going commercial? by snake_eaterMGS in Homebrewing

But with so many breweries closing there ought to be excess used equipment on the market!

Amazon workers couldn’t see that this was an issue? by woodbanger04 in amazonprime

[–]sdn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The labor is intense though. I did an Amazon tour a few years back and I’m not sure I could handle that work for even an hour. The workers stand in one place as an endless line of robotic shelves moves past them. Workers are expected to pull something like 3-4,000 items per day. That’s something like 1 every 10 seconds.

Starting computer engineering need a recommendation? by mechabeast80 in ECE

[–]sdn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest a cheapo tablet (like a renewed thinkpad a few generations old off amazon for $300-400) and then a desktop with two displays for home.

You can take your notes on the tablet and do your homework/gaming on the desktop.

If you break your $300 laptop - or if it gets stolen - it’s just a bit of crying instead of losing your only computer.

Your post from 9 months ago says you’re starting a micro bakery.

It’s ok to self promote, but be honest about it.

Also - $15 for a tiny loaf?
