I’ll be damned if that’s not the most relevant xkcd that I’ve ever seen.

tehmics, in Not mocking cobol devs but yall are severely underpaid for keeping fintech alive

I’d be happy if I could land a web dev role for 40k at this point

doctorcrimson,

I think the mention of fintech in the text makes an implication of online store of some sort, where I could see it being profitable because it’s a lot more work to be able to generate listings and accept payment and shipping information.

CrayonRosary,

It means banking. Finance tech.

doctorcrimson,

That was never in question. Online payment portals are Fintech. You don’t have to work at IBM to be in Fintech, it includes the entire process built on top of their platform as well.

CrayonRosary,

But COBOL is famously used in legacy banking systems, not modern internet payment systems.

doctorcrimson, (edited )

I’m saying that the mention of Fintech in the First Case would IMPLY that the WebDev also deals with Fintech. If both devs have comparable skillsets then it makes sense to compare their pay rates.

IDK, maybe I’m reaching with this one.

kGdMKhy8Wa5s,

That’s crazy. If you have the skills don’t under value yourself. Don’t be afraid to walk away from an offer. Never tell a potential employer your current salary and never give them a number if they ask in interviews. Ask what their range is as a response and if that matches your number, proceed. Then negotiate for the max of their range. If you get to that point, they already want you, so you have the upper hand in negotiation.

Where do you learn this… Cobol?

dipshit,

My grandmother could teach you it, but she’s dead.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

RIP

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Wait, so there’s nowhere you can learn it now?

Doubtful, I was just joking about how it’s an older language that has become rare

Probably a few CS programs offer courses in it, if nothing else because it’s historically important. And I’m sure one could teach it to themself via books and documentation

This sparked something magical OP.

And I had worried about it being a picture of text.

DroneRights, in Programmer tries to explain binary search to the police

I was in exactly this situation. My bike was stolen, there was CCTV, they said it would take hours to go through the time during which it was stolen.

“Can I have a copy of the recording?”

DroneRights,

That’s what I said, and they said no

The kind of walker I want for when I'm older.

wit, in Bill is a pro grammer

Code should be self documenting.

Sylvartas,

But then you write code in the real world and find out that you have to write some ass backwards code every other day because of deadlines, backwards compatibility or whatever, and suddenly you realize that despite your best efforts, code cannot always be self documenting.

Source: me.

should

Sylvartas, (edited )

In a vacuum, sure. On a real project of substantial size with more than one programmer, I’m afraid it quickly becomes a “cannot”

JohnDClay,

But you should also comment it, things obvious to you aren’t obvious to even future you.

gornius,

General rule of thumb: Comments say why is it here, not what it does. Code itself should describe what it does.

steventrouble, in The truth about the OpenAI drama - The Code Report

tl;dw: the video makes bunch of theories, then says none of them make sense. We still don’t know.

PanArab, (edited ) in ifn't

This can’t be for real. I’ll stick with C11 thank you.

Classy,

For how much fun NCIS was to watch it also was such a groan whenever the “code” sequences came up

One man’s Linux is another man’s OS/2!

Mongostein,

Need to look busy at work? Ping -i.2 <your IP address> will repeatedly ping your own router. Tell your boss it’s running a diagnostic or something.

Kecessa, in Every goddamn time

At least in Mr Robot they talk about real stuff

merc,

Mr. Robot was the best depiction of hacking I can think of. It was fairly realistic while being entertaining too. It shows that anybody who actually wanted to be realistic in a hacking movie could do it, they just choose not to.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

That’s because actual hacking is actually pretty boring, from an external viewpoint at least.

TBooneChickens, in When you forget to set a boundary conditions in your logic

To be fair, they probably meant “this year, you reached 915 days with us”

420stalin69,

You do not gotta give it to them

dukk, in Good luck web devs

Original Article

Basically, it’s just some cool X11 magic that uses a matrix transformation to rotate the screen.

CJOtheReal, in git commit -m "hotfix"

Don’t worry, the outside window is definitely still intact.

otter,

Maybe there’s an inappropriate doodle on the window or something?

that would make me feel better. I might walk off a plane seeing that.
