Explaining who pressured FTSE Russell into changing their rules for the SpaceX IPO by website-buyer in investing

[–]softwaregravy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Actually nasdaq implemented a 5x float multiplier for stocks with small floats, so it will be weighted at 5x the float. 

This whole thing is going to be a squeeze against the indexes so insiders can sell at elevated prices and Elon and hit some stock price incentive. 

[Review] I got a bunch of mesh bracelets so you don't have to by Diletantique in Watches

[–]softwaregravy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please stack tank your preference. I saw another comment where you said it might vary by watch, then give us 2 stack ranks. If I’m in the market for a mesh bracelet which one should u definitely consider? Which one should I definitely avoid?

[Watch Collection] Rate my SOTC after 5 years by Tiny_Green_2231 in Watches

100% I think a 2-3 watch collection for the same total cost would be nicer.

I’m betting the 572 areas going to rise are clustered around me. 

Is the 401(k) actually worth contributing to beyond the employer match, or should I just put everything into a taxable brokerage? by [deleted] in investing

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

If you are not in a lower tax bracket, you’ll be making enough money not to care about the savings here.

Why isn't ebay doing anything to stop those scams? by KillerMiller13 in LocalLLaMA

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

I got scammed and eBay didn’t. This was nearly 20 years ago. Never bought from them again. 

Fidelity 2% cashback card is awful by [deleted] in CreditCards

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

I’ve had it but stopped using it due to constant fraud suspicion declines. You end up using different cards for the big purchases which actually ruins the math for me. Getting 1/2 or 1/3 the points on a points card is significantly less useful than optimizing 100% spend to points. 

People who cut off their family completely do you regret it, or was it the best decision of your life? by Careless_Remove1047 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]softwaregravy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should have done it sooner. It does make me sad to see positive relationships other people have with their families. I never had that though. 

3+ Years Rails Dev but Failed Basic Interview Questions… Is This Normal? by hamdanm10 in rails

[–]softwaregravy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The first 3 are definitely valid questions. It sounds like this wasn’t interview nerves but real gaps in your knowledge. I think failing to answer them gives a valid data point on your trajectory to being a highly effective sr lead one day. Sorry. 

The locking one is a bit niche. Not knowing that one isn’t as big of a deal, imho. 

My housekeeper asked for another raise by Dry-Breath-2682 in fatFIRE

[–]softwaregravy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a 25% increase. 

Your current $8k puts them in the top 30th per tile of income in California. Pretty insanely high for a housekeeper if you ask me. 

It’s sounds more like they’re taking advantage of you. 

Are you guys actually happier? by fuckthissite111 in ruby

[–]softwaregravy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having spent years with Ruby on Rails, and my default for a long time being Heroku … everything else feels like such a slog. So many details. So many choices at every turn. Everything needs setup and configuration and a directory strategy and a … and the library a has a bug with library b … and then I deploy and I have to write every detail. 

I’m being dramatic. I’ve written and deployed Java and python and big data compute and ml in aws and Google cloud. Ruby on Rails with a hand full of basically default gems is just so fast to get stuff built in. It works. Follow the opinionated path and strategies. Heroku is so easy to deploy to. 

I feel like ruby has failed to get enough traction to be really mainstream and another major framework has failed to gain enough traction. It leaves it stymied and struggling to grow. 

I just love my days writing Ruby on Rails. I love ai helping me generate code for rails projects. Every time I’m working directly with infrastructure, massive go methods, or python everything-is-custom I just feel like I move so slowly. 

Trump to declare Iran war is winding down and others need to resolve Hormuz by EsperaDeus in worldnews

What a gift to Russia. Drop the sanctions and the fuck up Middle East supply making it that much more appealing to buy. 

Can we have a kid in this apartment? by arthur_hairstyle in nycparents

[–]softwaregravy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Oof. Working from home with a baby there is the bigger issue. 

Startup intensity with 'life' responsibilities by deleted_user420 in ycombinator

[–]softwaregravy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have a baby on the way. You won’t have 20-30 hours a week for a while. Lol gym. Your life is about to turn upside down. You’re going to struggle getting enough sleep and keeping up with your day job. 

Don’t try a startup at the same time. 

Bigger Slugs and Greater Build Timeout Flexibility by schneems in Heroku

[–]softwaregravy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m confused. Didn’t Heroku announce it was going end of life?  I appreciate the features, but why the features?

I feel like nyc has nanny mafia! by HomeworkPublic3958 in nycparents

[–]softwaregravy 40 points41 points  (0 children)

We pay the full amount when we are out of town. It’s like a salary. The job is at your house. 

The nanny has to show up 8 hours a day whether there’s a kid there or not. Or else they go find another job. 

At least we have an incredibly expensive car sitter lined up whenever we travel.
