The entire point of this guy is to make the next craziest candidate seem normal.

I’ve owned 3 Subarus over the last 15 years. Drove the first two for years with 0 issues. 75k+ on both. First was a lease then buy out and was offered a great deal on the second to trade in. Only got rid of the second due to a change is need for a personal car. When I had a need again I got a third which I’m only at about 60k on but plan to drive this one as long as it’ll go. Only thing I’ve done so far outside oil changes and other routine stuff was brakes. Which I consider routine.

Another reason is swear by them is AWD in a very snowy climate without SUV gas mileage.

Love that idea actually

Even a limit of posts per community would be great. 2-3 from each community max in the first 100 would even be awesome. It would also force a lot of lesser known communities into peoples top posts and help growth in them.

 

What I mean is someone sets up a new community, blasts it with a bunch of content to get things started, or sets up a new community bot that makes 20 posts and every other post in my feed is that community. Usually with 1 or 2 votes each and no comments. No matter what way I sort I see this.

I have zero issues with people getting things going within their space, and it’s not a knock against new communities that don’t want to be empty when people stumble across them.

It’s a complaint about the algorithm flooding my feed with so much content from one place that I’ve unfortunately blocked communities over this that I otherwise would have continued to run across and maybe engaged with in the future.

I’m not sure if your first X results should all be unique communities or putting some sort of engagement threshold in place before they show up in the top X posts or something. I don’t really have a perfect answer but to me this is a flaw in the system.

What’s your background generally. Do you have a degree in something CS related?

I learned more in my first 6 months of hands on work than I did in all of my schooling. So if you have a cs degree and can learn enough of the basics and interview questions you’d probably be fine applying to jr dev positions whether your concentration is programming or other.

Really hard question to answer with that info though.

Absolutely sick. They chose great songs to slot his style into as well. What a show

[–] WontonSoup 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for linking this. Had no idea it was going on. It’s been years since I’ve gone to one of their shows but they’re so much fun live even from home

Compartmentalize things so they all handle one thing individually and then you call those things from a main class is generally the way you’d do it.

Splitting things up will make your classes specific to a certain functionality and allow you to keep track of everything without individual files being thousands of lines, though sometimes they will end up that way anyway to achieve a single piece of functionality.

So for example you might have a service to call the api to get data, a service that exclusively posts to mastodon, etc.

You can write 500 lines of code to do something in your service and hide it away but then just call it like petInfoService.getPetInfo() from your main class and when you look at the flow it’ll make a lot more sense.

Any reason you chose typescript out of curiosity? Nothing wrong with it, just curious.

Feel free to post code if you need help. Just make sure whatever you’re posting or uploading to git doesn’t include any API keys.

Agreed that 5 month wait time is wild, but 5 months from today is closer than 5 months from next week. Get the ball rolling. Set yourself up to get the help you want, you deserve to be mentally healthy. Seems you’ve already made the decision that you want some assistance which is great. There is nothing wrong with seeking outside help. I don’t dive into fixing my cars engine, I get someone who knows exactly how it works.

Hope you have a good day today.

I wish msq wasn’t months long to get through now. I played for probably 2 months only doing msq and was still an expac or two off. There really needs to be an abridged version. If you’re trying to catch up to max level friends you either boost and give up on story or accept you’re months away from joining them. Kinda sad both ways cus the story was great. I eventually burned out on playing solo and quit to play games with friends again

We’re at a point in memes where I’m not sure if your is intentionally wrong

Solved in 1:29. Haven’t done a crossword in years but this was fun. The mini is a good size for me

What was your time

 

Queued up to the 2nd hour, what an awesome set. Glad to see him rediscovering what he loves about making music

Looking for recommendations on how to diagnose this weird issue I had for the second time today while playing Baldur's Gate. Previous time it happened was playing wow.

Anyway, what happens is my screens all go black but the game is still running, just no video output. I can still hear discord, the game running, music going etc. Just no video out.

My GPU seems to run hot for my taste (80C max) during intensive times playing games but from what I read that is a totally safe temp for a 3080. Generally around 50-65 though during normal play

For reference, I had this card for a while but just rebuilt most of my PC with a new processor, motherboard, 1000W PSU, new ram and case that I put extra fans in. This happened once in my old build and now a second in my new one.

Is this an issue with the card, the power going to it not being sufficient or something else... I am well under the wattage rating for my PSU so unless its an issue with the power in my apartment I am lost. 0 other issues with gaming or heat.

Please give any advice how to diagnose or what to do

What an unreasonably good set. This is the first time I've heard of him and have been binging shows since.

My favorite of the 20+ tomorrowland sets I watched so far.

 

Anyone have links to a stream or sets from this weekend? Can't find anything myself

This is one of my recent go-tos when I need something to listen to. The entire show is amazing, but I could listen to the opening 25-30 minutes on repeat all day.

I'll explain with an example - there are 3 Lemmy instances A, B, C

A federates with B but not C

B Federates with both A and C

Does A indirectly get the content from C due to B's federation with it?
