Just because you're not writing high performance software doesn't mean it shouldn't be a consideration. Sure, I'm not gonna micro-optimize memory when I'm writing an API in Python, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to write it efficiently.

If I have to store and then do lookups on some structured data I'm gonna use a hash table to store it instead of an array. If I need to contact a DB multiple times I'm only gonna close my connection after the last query. None of this is particularly difficult, but knowing when to use certain DSA principles efficiently falls pretty firmly into the computer science realm.

If you need someone to hyper-optimize some computations then a mathematician might be a better bet, but even those problems are rarely mathematician level difficult. Generally software engineers have taken multivariate calculus/differential equations/linear algebra, so we're decently well versed in math. Doesn't mean we don't hate the one time a year we have to pull out some gradients or matrices though.

Edited the magnet link into the original comment. Seems like it's a bit healthier than when I last checked but the more the merrier.

The Flying Squid is someone who contributes to Lemmy comment sections a ton. They're super friendly and also add a lot of discussion. Given the nature of Lemmy being so small though they stand out because they're often leading discussions. Pretty much just a really good discussion contributor who is super recognizable.

It's not that we didn't think it wouldn't affect us, it's that Amazon pays unfathomable, life changing amounts of money to their engineers. Don't get me wrong there are absolutely insufferable people there, but I'd wager most people are there for the money alone.

I was an intern at AWS, and my return offer for full time was $220k per year fresh out of college to do 40 hours work weeks with a 24/7 one-week on call once every two months. My sign on bonus (lump sum on first paycheck) was $60k, or almost the average yearly pay of a US citizen. Unless you came from money, you'd take that offer in a heartbeat. I grew up middle class so money like that was impossible to say no to. I knew what I was getting into, and I tried to get a comparable offer right up until my start date, but few companies will dump over $200k per year on a new grad software engineer.

I got out a few months ago, and it has been the best thing for my mental health. My anxiety is much more manageable, I don't have week long 24/7 on call shifts, I'm full remote, and my pay is only 10% less. With that said, I wouldn't change a thing if I went back in time. I have financial stability I didn't even know was possible, and it gave me a massive headstart in life.

100%. This isn't a dig at all. I just noticed how often I've seen their comments and now I can't not notice it.

Myself and one other person have been upholding a torrent of the movie Holes since last June. My ratio is over 30, and I can only imagine how large theirs is since they were the only seeder when I downloaded the movie. I've cleared out some older torrents since then, but I'll be damned if Holes ever comes off my home server at this point.

Edit: The torrent for those who asked

The thing that I hate the most about it is it's the same fucking price at the grocery store, but somehow that equates to a 40% more expensive burger. Meat is ungodly expensive nowadays such that my partner and I opt for meat substitutes because it's often cheaper and we prefer them anyway.

I understand economies of scale, and that they're buying less of it so they're gonna be paying a little more, but $3 per 8oz burger is absurd. Burger places have lost their goddamn minds when there's often way better ramen noodles next door for half the price.

I recently got a $100 PC that's now an Ubuntu server running your typical qBittorrent/Xarr/Plex/VPN stack, a local web server (for accessing said services), and nginxproxymanager all across docker containers. It's not powerful by modern standards (i5-7600), but for what I use it for it's way overkill. It's currently sitting at 5% memory utilization of the 8GB of RAM it has despite running all that with many active torrents.

That's peak hoodie and jeans weather. Literally perfect.

Everyone should be using ISO8601 anyway. yyyy-mm-dd is superior to both and leaves 0 ambiguity to the reader no matter where they're from.

They're so user friendly we opted to get my brother's girlfriend's 10 year-old sister one instead of a Switch. So instead of having 2-3 $40-$70 Switch games she got access to my Steam library through Family Share (limited to ~60 age-appropriate games), and 20 Switch games emulated through Yuzu setup by EmuDeck.

We're also teaching her how to do all of this which will give her a huge advantage when it comes to using computers in the future, and allow her to emulate any games she would like going forward.
