  • It's the apathetic voters/ moderates that get on board with charisma. The right has a far more dependable base when it comes to getting out to vote. I think newsome is a scumbag but he's a much more electable candidate than Harris. His shift to the right recently is gross and is the opposite of what Dems need. I have never liked him as a person but I used to generally agree with his positions, and was far more ok with him running before the last 8 mo or so. AOC would be a better candidate than him, she would inspire people to vote and I think she can overcome the the misogyny and racism by getting a bigger number to vote. Newsome could probably win but would be pulling more votes from Rs than he would bringing more votes to the table.

  • Honestly it's charisma more than anything. JFK, Johnson Clinton, gore doesn't have it, Kerry doesn't have it, Obama has it, Hillary doesn't have it, Biden doesn't really but post trump litterally a walking corpse worked. Kamala doesn't have it, and people have goldfish memories.

  • No states 1 country. Otherwise we'd have our own Mississippi and Arkansas out in bum fucksville

  • I have a bunch of good developers, and my best guys have been around for years. I have newer people that have been on the project that have been around for the same amount of time as the problem people who get their work done and learn and get better consistently.

  • I'm really laid back and have given them a long time to learn our code base and how to contribute. When I have to pull multiple all nighters and the end of a long release cycle to fix or finish what they worked on it's not worth it. I basically can only code at night because I spend my day in meetings, planning or next release or helping people with their stuff.

    We work remote so either they are really dumb and won't ever get it or they slack off all the time and wait till the last min to slap shit together and it isn't right.

  • They are literally useless. even when something is explained to them they still mess it up, or need the same thing explained again the next time. Most of the commits they have was someone wasting their time to explain change by change how to do it. It would have been worth the time investment if they learned and were able to do things on their own. at this point but they aren't and freeing up the people who have to consistently spend their time helping them will be a net positive in productivity.

  • I mean if I laid off %25 of my dev team we would see a boat in productivity. They leech time from one of my senior devs and don't get any better. Def getting rid of 2/4 useless guys and giving 1 of them as much of an opportunity I've given any body and one is going to be next to go of he doesn't shape up.

  • The biggest pain in the ass I've dealt with was using a directshow lib to implement flash on a new camera we were supporting for a desktop application. Working with a device graph and pins is beyond frustrating. We're porting functionality to the Web and my dev working on the camera just needed to call capture image to trigger the flash.

  • I'm a contractor, and I can't express it enough how much a competent Govie makes a difference on project success. My last Govie was amazing, unfortunately he got promoted. He got replaced with 2 new govies that were formally contractors, and they are the worst, they are dumb micro managers that don't even understand how our program operates. One of them litterally sends us emails of his Gemini questions and responses with highlights. The other leads and I are very competent and have all worked for 10+ years on our project, and he sends us fucking AI responses about shit he doesn't understand about shit we do understand. Our morale has been absolutely crushed, and I have a running chat with my other leads which is just a non stop bitch fest about how fucking useless they are.

  • They are talking about Judaism,Muslim, and Christians

  • When all your friends are in one circle and all are married and you don't go to bars or the gym it's better than nothing. I enjoyed it for the most part, definitely got laid more often.

  • Most people's problems are shit profiles and bad swiping.

    Find/take good photos. I used photofeeler to test my photos and it helped.

    Have a decent short bio that has something the girl can bring up. Mine was my hatred of mayo, almost all my matches brought it up as a discussion point. On Bumble it was most often the ice breaker.

    Don't swipe right on the 8/9/10s that you have zero chance at. If a girl out of your range has a profile that describes you sure swipe right otherwise don't swipe on girls you have zero shot with. It messes your algorithm up. If you want to fantasize about hot chicks look at porn otherwise be honest about what you bring to the table and swipe in your realistic range. If you're a 3 a 5 should be your 10.

    Advice from a decent looking (but def not hot) slightly overweight at times person, who got my fair share of dates, some hookups, and some girlfriends from online dating in a smallish dating pool.

    Met my wife randomly through a coworker 🤷‍♂️.

  • Out a scratch post next to box

  • Find your nearest shady Street and get to trick'n

  • The US Government still officially refers to it as Burma.

  • .net can run on Linux now

  • I started my career in Java and transitioned to c# a few years in and c# is much better imo, especially now that .Net can be run in Linux.

    I run a team for a large project (13 deployable components apis/ Windows services/ desktop applications/ websites/mobile) that has mix of vb.net/c# .net framework 4.8 and .net 6 soon to be 8 with angular for Web and wpf for desktop. Slowly but surely working to kill off our legacy code and consolidate.

    Some of the older vb code (that existed long before I joined the project let alone became the lead dev) is so bad that a bug fix for nhibernate that stopped silently failing and began throwing exceptions breaks everything if we try to update to a later version. it's such a tangled mess and I'm probably the only one on my team that could unfuck it(but I didn't have the time to do it) it's not even worth fixing even though our version of nhibernate has a CVE with rating of 9/10 (we don't actually use anything that is affected from the finding thankfully) and are just biding our time till we kill off the offending apps.

    Ohh and I have a new PM that isn't technical and likes to email me his chat GPT queries and results about technical things.

  • As a gov contractor is be all for improving efficiency but what is happening is the exact opposite.

  • It's supposed to be unique and might actually be now, but there are def duplicate ssns out there. Craziest identity situation I was told by a project manager of government system that is all about identities. Same First, Same last,same Date of Birth, same SSN; different people.
