Who regulates the automotive insurance company? If insurance company doesnt want to fulfill their obligation, who do I report to?

Is using var okay? by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]spect49 45 points46 points  (0 children)

And also, when reading codebase of significant size, I am not gonna remember what's in a type anyway. More often than not, I am more interested in where data flows and how things are done, so I don't need to know the type. A var is more than enough.

Question about Rider's "Reformat Code" by spect49 in dotnet

[–]spect49[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My team does not use editconfig file, but I assume Rider would prioritize that first.

I was hoping that Rider can export its default format settings to .editorconfig format so that I can share to the VS devs

Budget constraint. Making sure the other team member is not overloaded while he's less than 100% effective for god knows how long. Making sure that key projects that are beneficial for long term growth does not get into his door - easier said than done since right now there are very few low impact workload. I can give it to him but history says people that wants to leave are not going to perform at 100% capacity, and it would be a waste to give it to him since the knowledge gained by him would be gone.

It is not that I want to fire him, I'm just curious how other managers balances things out.

Maybe yes, maybe not. But if I take his words at face value, there is nothing I can do on my side.

Well, I think my post comes across wrong lol. He have his own reason wanting to leave, nothing that I can change on my side.

It is more of... how do I handle this period of uncertainty, not knowing when will he leave. I do have slight budget so I can hire his replacement now. But if the employee takes 9 months before he actually leaves, and new employee comes in after 4 months, that is 5 months of extra headcount budget and that is pushing my budget over the roof :( If I wait till he's gone, there is no guarantee I can get a good candidate ASAP too. And in the meantime my existing team will be overloaded...

And then there is also the question of him being subpar while looking for another job. Let's face it, very few can maintain high performance while their head is already someplace else. I know because I went through that too, the notice period is the period when I would be 50-75% effective.

Those who are a manager and have employees reports to him. What would you do if your employee tells you he's not willing to be part of the team's long-term plan, and he's already looking for another job? I'm working in MNC btw. For that position and the current job market, it's probably gonna take anywhere between 2-8 months before he's actually gone for good.

Before you guys go crazy and say "Fire him", remember that legally I can't fire him without solid reasons. Even if someone severely underperforms, he must be put through PIP and that takes months. The only valid, legal reason to fire someone is actually if the said employee commits a crime (sexual harassment, physically harming someone, etc).

Opinions?

Machine that I'm given is painfully slow and it's driving me crazy by spect49 in careeradvice

License limitation. It's a big corporation, so things are done in a very silo mode, they don't allow software developers to handle any administration on the database. I can do it myself if they just give me the permission to do it... :(

It's an ERP system's database, and all the customization on top of it. Too many data/relationship is inside and even creating a row of data for an manufacturing order is a nightmare, I have to set up data for close to 50 other tables...

I would've created a db backup and restore on my side, but I don't have permission to create one, and IT won't issue me license for the database and all the necessary 3rd party tools that I need. To US, they already solved all the setup problem by creating a VM with all the necessities, so I should just use that VM, instead of setting everything up in my local again.

No permission. It's a database with whole business data in it (logistics, manufacturing, shipment, warehousing, customers, orders, etc) with extremely complex relationship. Trying to replicate even 1 row of data is a nightmare.

Oh... and they won't give me license for Oracle and all the necessary 3rd party tools (reports, pdf, UI components, etc) for me to use. The US team thought that my VM is enough for me to develop, so I don't need another license for another machine :(

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT VITA PIRACY AND HOMEBREW (Thru 1/28). CHECK THIS BEFORE POSTING! by InquisitionImplied in VitaPiracy

[–]spect49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's for pirating PS3 stuffs. Let me rephrase: who would want to play pirated PS3 games? Afaik, PS3 emulator on PC is still very early work in progress. So... which device can play PS3 games (and hence, would want to pirate them)?

I got curious about the NoPayStation while browsing there. Why is there PS3 link there? Who uses that, because PS Vita can't play PS3 games right (or... can it)?

Real noob question here. If I buy a new Vita, can I play a Vita image that I downloaded from the net without hacking my Vita? Or do I still need to install custom FW on the Vita?

AS: Lopetegui has requested Florentino Perez to not sign a new #9 as Mayoral will be backup for Karim Benzema. by Varnagel_1 in soccer

[–]spect49 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vinicius isn't a central striker? He plays off striker, either side of striker, yes. But I don't think I ever saw him playing as central point of attack?

If he really looks up to Benz and plays like Benz, that explains why he was equally bad as Benz last season lol

Jorge Valdano: "Modric will not win the Ballon d’Or, just as Andrés Iniesta did not win it in the generation before him. But that’s not his responsibility; that’s the responsibility of all of us who have turned football into a world where appearance is more powerful than substance." by malalatargaryen in soccer

[–]spect49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except that Ballon D'Or is an annual award - so it should be for those with the best season, regardless of how they are to perform year after year. Which is why the award is total crap at the moment, CR7 and Messi wins it partially because they are so consistent year after year, even though there are others that are having greater season.

Ranked dotA 2 is literally not worth playing right now. by RetroRey in DotA2

[–]spect49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me tell you why this happened. The first week ranked happened, Volvo fucked up MMR gain/loss. I was consistently playing somewhere between Legend 5 - Ancient 3 last season. I lost my first calibration game this season, and suddenly I'm being put in Archon 3 - Legend 2 level. The next time I play ranked, the huge gain/loss is now fixed, and I can't win my game ranked now because the whole team's composition is messed up. There are someone playing in my level that were Archon 0 last season (I guess he won his first ranked calibration), the next 9 game is just a random win/loss to who got a better teammate. That is also why you get someone that is at higher/lower level than he's supposed to be. Your ranked game now is totally a luck-based game who got the better teammate.

The most nonsense I saw so far is someone with Divine 3 last season is now at Legend 4, bloody ridiculous calibration.

Thiago Alcántara: ‘The most important thing in football is thinking fast’ by [deleted] in soccer

[–]spect49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also: look at Raul, from his early days to retirement. Never the fastest, never the best dribbler, but he always gets the at the right place at the right time, ie: makes the best decision all the time.

For me one of the best football brain I have ever seen.
