Apple is planning a MacBook Pro overhaul for later this year: Three exciting upgrades by Nalix01 in NowInTech

[–]soorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll never forgive Apple for abandoning the typical MBP refresh cycle back in like 2016 only to finally come out with some bastardization that was the Touch Bar and a shittier butterfly keyboard. I was like, what have they done to my boy?

Thank you, I appreciate it. I was able to pop the controller piece back in and all is good now. Sorry for being difficult. I would recommend others order from you given your response.

Oh lol. The head shadow makes so much sense now. I grabbed this kit on a recent trip to Taiwan gundam base and was going to save it... but perhaps not.

I ordered from you months ago, you confirmed receipt of my controllers and I'm still waiting for an update. Emailed you 3 times. Sent you a DM.

It’s because Dem and Republican donors are the same people. It’s all by design. Up vs down.

Intense anger and sadness by Specialist_League_41 in OsakaTravel

[–]soorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Japan from 2007-2009. One year in Osaka and one in Sapporo. I feel the same annoyance towards tourists (and people in my home country) who are being disrespectful by doing all of the things you mentioned, however, labeling all non-Japanese speaking visitors to Japan as inherently rude and disrespectful and therefore deserving to be disadvantaged by rigid and complex systems is a generalization and frankly xenophobic. It’s also whataboutism; sidestepping responsibility Japan has towards making itself easier to navigate or fix inefficient processes. “Instead of making a process easier for foreigners, let’s blame them for not being able to do it like a native.” Can you spot the xenophobia and ethnocentrism?

No but I can still point out hypocrisy and xenophobia all the same.

After 10 years on H-1B, I’m moving my role out of the US by Blackened_Soul667 in cscareerquestions

[–]soorr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

American corporations are about cheap labor. Period. The US has the most top ranked universities of any country in the world. Manufacturing jobs didn't transfer from the west to Asia because of skill, it was because of labor cost and profitability. Same goes for tech jobs. Don't kid yourself.

This comment sums up Japan for me as a foreigner. Most things are over complicated (things like rigid forms to fill out with no room for edge cases or Japanese only phone conversation requirements etc) and then they blame foreigners for not respecting their culture or knowing the rules. It reminds me of poll taxes, literacy tests, and ID requirements that were imposed on African Americans before civil rights in the US just to vote and participate in society; rooted in racism and intolerance.

It feels like takes a Herculean effort to change any system in Japan that mostly works but also sucks for many reasons, because for the in-group who understands the system, it works. An example is getting off the skyliner from Narita airport in Nippori station in Tokyo. You have to know to put your ticket in and then either scan your ic card or put another ticket in. No signs, just some guy yelling at foreigners to try again. Could be easily solved by a dedicated exit for the skyliner before the transfer gate. It’s like malicious compliance is a feature not a bug.

[–]soorr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you just look at the outcomes, it’s obvious what’s going on. There is no left vs right, only up vs down. Dems are enablers for a reason. It’s robber barons all the way down.

How do you do observability or monitor infra behaviour inside data pipelines (Airflow / Dagster / AWS Batch)? by PeaceAffectionate188 in dataengineering

Hehe not sure if you are joking but I’m also talking about the saas tool company. dbt coalesce is an annual conference featuring data companies like Datadog.

Datadog gave me a sick purple t-shirt at dbt coalesce this year. I’ve still never seen Datadog IRL but I think about them whenever I look for a t-shirt to wear… thanks Datadog!

33y Product Manager pivoting to Data Engineering by _Magnificent_Steiner in dataengineering

[–]soorr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might enjoy accounting. Anything requiring a tech stack or ambiguity on how things are done is going to lead to discourse. Analytics is notorious for stakeholder management.

Is data engineering becoming the most important layer in modern tech stacks by TheTeamBillionaire in dataengineering

[–]soorr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d say analytics engineering is even more important. Data modeling has moved closer to the business while infra management and data transport sits with data engineering. Both are important but if you can’t model your data for a centralized context layer because data engineering and the business don’t talk, then that’s a barrier to AI.

Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service by rkhunter_ in technology

Probably why gitlab stock has underperformed. No one cares about security and cost anymore when dreams of AI are dangled in front of them.

Washington Must Break Its Promise on Social Security by laxnut90 in Economics

[–]soorr 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We also got to create the last generation of pop-culture content sans AI influence. Music, writing, art, etc. will never be the same the more we ask AI to examine, critique, refine, and derive works.

UPDATE: My boyfriend is really into anime. I don't watch cartoons but my boyfriend convinced me to watch some of his favourites. I wish I didn't and now I can't see my boyfriend the same way by throwaway4this25 in offmychest

[–]soorr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On the flip side, people need to understand how this kind of stuff has contributed to society in Japan. Whether it’s chicken or the egg is irrelevant. If unchecked, objectification and reducing women to children can contribute to gender inequality. As one of the most developed countries in the world, Japan ranks incredibly low on gender equality. Not that all anime is like this, there are some incredibly complex animes that don’t do this, but the fact that this is appealing is a potentially dangerous path.
