I don’t like most thing FB/Meta does. But, I must admit they are the only big tech sharing so much openly. Other big tech should take Meta as an example here.

I thought I’d never say this : good job Zuck on AI!

Luckily you can’t outlaw math!

Yes, but in majority of cases you still need some legal entity that can convert crypto to fiat so you can actually buy stuff with real money. Would be enough to forbid that and crypto is pretty much done.

I cannot be the only one that gets away with only knowing:

  git pull
  git merge x
  git checkout [-b] foo
  git commit
  git push

To cleanup the history before asking for a review.

git rebase HEAD~2 -i

I don’t watch Netflix anymore because there is no content worth paying for. I kept it for a while because my kids were watching cartoons now on paramount+. So I cancelled Netflix and now enjoying some quality content on paramount like start trek.

I stopped using Uber since they started ramping up prices.

Patrol8394 · 2 years ago
Parents should chillout; my kids go to private schools, they have a great math program but even that is not enough and most of their friends end up taking additional math class outside school.

I refuse to do that for my kids.

The amount of stress and expectations parents put on their kids is staggering.

Obviously, these kids will inevitably get bored in any school.

Patrol8394 commented on Salary Negotiation: Make More Money, Be More Valued   kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/... · Posted by u/m5r

Negotiation is all about leverage. More often than not leverage is on the employer side.

People look for a job because they most likely need one; unless they are in the fortunate position of working for fun and they don’t want to retire just yet.

Negotiating means you should be ready to walk away: let’s be honest … how many with their first offer at their dream job (e.g: FAANG) would be ready to walk away from it?

Unless you have very specific skills and knowledge, you are rarely in the position of bumping the numbers much.

That said, you must negotiate the first offer (usually low), then you counteroffer much higher with the goal of usually settle somewhere in the middle.

Recruiters know how to play the game.

Also, I believe everyone should have a good idea on how much they should be paid. I usually give the first number, if asked (high) I don’t see anything wrong with that.

I already know they will lowball me and then we will settle somewhere halfway.

Transactional is funniest shit

All that magic causes weekly questions from people about how does this work or about debugging it

>You can easily test and debug.

As easy as putting breakpoint in actual code?

reading the spring documentation usually help :)

Annotations are a great way to get rid of boilerplate and noisy code. For instance, I find Spring @Transactional a much more effective, less bug prone and productive way of dealing with db tx vs having to manual code and handle exceptions, rollback, connections etc .. Same goes with JAX-RS.

I would choose annotations over having to code all that manually any day.

You can easily test and debug. Yes, it will cost some time to understand how aspects work and how it is all wired up, but it is worth learning.
