What Cars do You Swear By?
  • WontonSoup WontonSoup 1y ago 100%

    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

  • New communities and flooding the feed
  • WontonSoup WontonSoup 1y ago 90%

    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 is it like freelancing? Is it a viable option to earn income?
  • WontonSoup WontonSoup 1y ago 100%

    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.

  • How exactly should I structure by NodeJS typescript project
  • WontonSoup WontonSoup 1y ago 100%

    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.

  • International Chess Federation (FIDE) to ban and punish transgender players
  • WontonSoup WontonSoup 1y ago 100%

    What a weird way to go about it. Knowing a small amount about chess ratings the loss or changing of title does in some ways make sense though in the way that the bar for a woman to be considered GM is lower than a man. So effectively you would have a title that may have a rating requirement higher than your pre-transition rating. I get that part…. But the rest?

    These are weird rules that really don’t need to be there and I hope too GMs speak out against this in both the male and female sections. There has been quite a bit of drama in the chess community in recent years over what is essentially gender discrimination. So another stain on chess with this one.

    Editing to add: the differing rating requirements in an intellectual game are very strange to begin with. There are many women who meet the requirements of being a GM(male) rather than a WGM and they’re a significantly smaller portion of the overall chess players

    I want to be a professional, but not seeing trans guys in successful positions is disheartening.
  • WontonSoup WontonSoup 1y ago 100%

    I felt completely stuck in my job and returned to school to do CS and now work as a software engineer. It’s never too late, I was in my 30s. If you choose to pursue it do it for the right reasons. Sit down and start to learn a bit of code if you don’t already know how to do some basic stuff. It’s not for everyone that’s for sure. If you have any questions about school as an adult I would be happy to answer. The other poster who said “it’s more about producing good work” is exactly right. good luck

    I’m so tied of the bot spam in all these communities with 0 interactions showing up in the feed. For every one I block I swear 2 more show up. I don’t even get the point. Dead community maybe a few votes and just endless spam. Is there a block bots checkbox like there is a block nsfw

  • WontonSoup WontonSoup 1y ago 100%

    Use the inspect button in your browser and you can pinpoint it in the html which will help you pinpoint it in the actual component.

    Be aware though this isn’t shutting off functionality. Just hiding the functionality. People could still upload directly though api calls

    You have a resume that puts your knowledge further than 99% of CS graduates, myself included when I graduated it sounds like. That doesn’t mean stupid hiring managers or HR department’s understand that though. Many places will auto dump your resume without a degree. Just being realistic.

    I guess the question if you love both is do you want to break for back working on cars or sit in an air conditioned office writing uninteresting code most of the time.

    There’s no real reason not to go to school even already having the knowledge. You learn a lot more than just CS and those in major classes would likely be a breeze for you. And you’ll get an opportunity to learn things you probably haven’t studied in the higher level courses.

    You’ll also get to actually focus on other things and take some really interesting courses along the way. You’re gonna work til you’re 60+. Take advantage of being 18 for a while before you go into the real world

  • 3080 - all screens go black but PC still running more info inside
  • WontonSoup WontonSoup 1y ago 100%

    I appreciate the thoughts. It was a brand new psu with plenty of extra wattage. My old 750 was sufficient but went bigger just to be sure in this build. I’ll check on bios and drivers. I know my gpu drivers are up to date but not sure on bios. It’s happening with 2 different builds though where the gpu is the only common factor. I feel like that rules out most everything else component-wise

  • 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
