  • I barely proof read anything I type on my phone, and my comment history is a testament to that. I deploy code or system changes most days, but I proof read the shit out of those on top of the QC they goes through. Any company worth anything will have a process for reviewing and approving anything being deployed, or probably destroyed for that matter.








  • I have 2 x 250GB Samsung 840 SSDs as cache drives in my unraid server. That’s been their job for about 5 years. Before that, they were in a RAID 0 on my main desktop for many years. I just looked at their attributes in Unraid and they’ve been online for 15y 7d for one of them and 15y 11m and their remaining wear level is 65% and 69% respectively. One of those drives may fill and clear 3+ times a day where other days it could be 25-50%, so I’d consider at least that one as heavy use. They other is mostly just app data and lower transfer volume.

    Those are old tech drives that are small capacity and have a lot of transfers on them in my arr setup and manual process before that. To still have more than 50% life is a testament to how good the wear leveling is and how the write count isn’t all that important for 99% of applications.


  • Kind of true. The cheapest nvme drives can be that low. Quality drives are in the low thousands. They do wear leveling to maximize the life of the sectors. I’m reading that it would take roughly 600 times the drives capacity of writes before a sector reaching the limit on a quality drive. It’s still not the best choice for a cache drive, but enterprise grade nvme drives have significantly more cycles before failure. Unless there’s really heavy traffic, an nvme cache would last years before possible issues.

    In OPs case, I’d just install the games on the SSD rather than cache them. Ideally, get a larger drive even if it’s used.

    Clearly there are environmental factors that lead to this. Nature vs nurture. There are plenty of well adjusted men that don’t suck so it’s not an inherent trait. I think it’s already happening to some degree, but there needs to be more of a societal change in teaching boys about empathy and masculinity. Not promote masculinity, but to understand it better.

    I know when I was young, boys crying was unacceptable. You had to be tough. It’s those kinds of lessons that lead to men being not well adjusted adults. As a guy I can obviously relate to this rage bait comic to a degree, but I was fortunately raised in a stable home around good people that taught me empathy.

    I also hate generalities, like “all men”, “all women”, "every person form <insert country>, so I find it acceptable whenever any person is wrapped up in one that they can defend themselves. It’s these kinds of statements like what this comic is saying, that lead to men isolating themselves or turning to masculine echo chambers for support. It’s part of the problem. If people want change, they need to act in a manner that allows it. Don’t generalize people, listen, interpret, and then act on that information appropriately. Some people can’t be reasoned with in the manosphere, but some can. If you want change for the better, then it takes effort on both sides.







  • You’ve got to pick a lane. Either follow the rules or don’t. You don’t get to do things differently than expectations on your whim and then get upset when held accountable. I agree with your charge that you took a bunch of breaks earlier and that is your 30. If you want to take a 30, don’t do the other stuff. If you can’t work in those bounds then maybe this isn’t the line of work for you.

    I’m not saying your an asshole, but your expectations and those of your employer don’t align. The conditions you described don’t sound abusive, that’s just the world of working in a hospital. To me it sounds like you need a full career change ASAP, and if that means a pay cut, then you have to decide if your current situation is worse than making less. Anecdotally, I switched jobs and took a pay cut because that was better for me, but that might not be an option for you if funds are too tight.

    If you do think that your being treated unfairly, then follow the rules to the letter to removed all doubt. If you’re not supposed to help on those other tasks, tell them no. I would say that working in your field does generally attract people that are willing to go the extra mile for patients, which can make you look worse comparitively, which is unfair, but life.
