I have the same chip but have never had issues, but I also noticed it's thermal properties were a bit of a mess when I ran some benchmarks after putting the build together, so I slightly undervolted it in BIOS. Performance wise I never

I lived in Lompoc, CA for a while (next to Vandenberg -- which is a really cool experience, the rocket launches were absolutely amazing). I had always assumed that the El Segundo presence was in big part due to access to Vandenberg for laun

That's unfortunate. I've been with my current employer for 18 months. I was a referral and the person who referred me got a $15,000 bonus. I've since referred 2 people. I've gotten one bonus so far and the other should b

Anyone reading this thread will surely roll their eyes and move on to a different solution. Event the people who recommend this stuff to others get confused about what the fuck is even happening in the .NET ecosystem.

I grew up in Ohio, and I did grow up on a farm for the first part of my life, and I worked like hell to get out of there and I'd never go back, but somehow a small farm in Michigan has become an idea in my brain, too.

Hear, hear. My one-time $10M (early employee) eventually cashed out at a low/mid 6-figures. Take the salary I earned multiplied by the years I spent there, add to it the IPO, and then divide by number of years I was there. I could&#x27

I don't really agree anymore. These massive vehicles on the road means that suddenly everyone has developed a very real intuition for F=ma and they're all competing in a sort of arms race to survive car crashes. Wanna improve your

Exactly the same experience here in the same demographic. In this friend group, we all have kids and wives and pets and jobs and everything else, but we want to still try to do stuff together. Video games, DnD (though we play PF2E and OSR s

They gave us the go-ahead at work last week so I tried to use ChatGPT today on a task. It failed, and failed, and failed, over and over again. I kept prompting it, telling it where it was wrong, and why it was wrong, and then it would say s

I was this person for the first ~17 years of my career. With the caveat that I was developing features on the bottom of the stack in C but would frequently implement features all the way up to a web interface running on an embedded device.

Yes, I didn't think it was exceptional at all. I thought it was just sort of mundane that this happens. But apparently it's rare?

Yeah, I worked for an embedded company for ~8 years and there was a lot of old code kicking around that had been carried forward across product iterations. I know, from talking to colleagues who are still there today, that code I wrote ~20

Every software engineering company I have worked for (5) still exists today. One of them was started in the '40s, so it clearly wasn't always a software company, and wouldn't strictly define itself as one today, either, but s

I'm still in contact with former colleagues from 4 of my 5 former employers over the last ~20 years (no contact from 1 of them that I left in a hurry). That's how I know code I wrote back then, alongside code that was even older,

I think this is kind of sad, but I guess I'm also very fortunate in who ( most of ) my employers have been. I've spent a large portion of my career working in codebases alongside stuff from the '90s, and with my first employe

Nostalgia or not, I let myself get sucked back into MtG in 2021, after discovering the unofficial format Premodern [0], and a major component of that is the artwork on the cards in those sets with the black border. I'm sure it really i

"Global warming" is what you get when you let the scientists pick the name. "Climate change" is better but you can still get the sense that it's lacking in a solid PR person to figure this out. I'd have thought
