Anyone can learn to code well enough for a corporate environment.

As the repo owner, you can put in place PR guardrails to help you manage the workload it puts on you. You can enforce pre-commit linting and code formatting, mandatory PR templates, size limits on PRs, etc and these can limit the chunks of work you’re sent by this person.

This is part of creating a culture of good code, enforcing code standards and contribution behaviors comes with the territory as you move up the chain in your career.

Another part unfortunately, even if you’re not a supervisor is having sometimes tough conversations with contributors it’s just part of the deal.

“Hey Bob, I just wanted to connect with you. It seems like you’re having kind of a tough time keeping up with our standards (producing code that’s usable for our team, or something said tactfully like that), is there something more that I can do to help you? Or is there something specific you’re having trouble with? I just want to help you be the most successful that you can be, because the more successful you are, the more successful our team as a whole is.”

If you have a discussion or two like this and it’s not working out, then maybe you need to talk to Bob’s supervisor/manager directly about the issue. Sometimes people don’t even realize what’s going on.

It’s not all theHill’s fault, there’s plenty of blame to go around.

The only place I know to get it is direct from their site.

I’m not sure that you do, as far as I know, being able to move them is the only test. I’m printing a torture toaster now to see if I’m getting similar results with that. I know there are more precise ways to measure dimensional accuracy, but I’ve always been able to print a decent benchy and calibration cube. Actual applications have been less successful.

Is your upright the one with all the little compartments? That one looked to me like the most efficient upright design I’ve ever seen.

I’m a Minnesotan, currently at my kids hockey tournament. This is an acceptable scenario.

I understand that stance for sure. My border proximity is less for running because of rights restrictions and more based on the necessity for humanitarian aid if things get too spicy. I arrived at a similar conclusion about where Canada, and the rest of the Western world to be frank, is going. We just tend to lead the pack on things like modernizing fascism here in the US.

Leaving Missouri for Minnesota has done loads for the mental health of myself and my family. I cannot recommend this place enough especially if you’ve mostly only experienced states run by people who think that governments can’t actually do things.

Minnesota is Midwestern priced and within driving distance of a border.

I bought a protectli awhile back. Mines 4 port 2.5 gbps nics, and it runs opnsense out the box.

You should take a look at their sfp+ model, if I were in your shoes that’s what I’d be looking at. It’s all in one, works nicely, is incredibly customizable, and is lower power usage than basically anything you’ll build yourself.

I use that for my router/firewall, then I use an off lease dell thin client to run my home assistant server, and a standard off the shelf buffalo nas. If you’re into immich, I’ll recommend jellyfin over Plex. I used it for years but they started collecting more data, sticking their own junk in etc. Jellyfin is open source and works great.

This is great! But is it means tested?

I just don’t want any rich kids getting free school. Those damn rich kids and their student loan schemes.

The NYT only put the Holocaust on the front page 26 times when it was happening. Only 6 of those times were Jewish people identified as primary victims.

They have never cared about actual news, only manufacturing consent.

I’m glad to hear this, I keep looking at it. I’m a little worried about the hardware requirements for it though. I keep putting off getting hardware for a dedicated jellyfin server (it’s on my wife’s gaming PC right now and it bugs the heck out of her)

To expand on the 3-2-1 rule for the uninitiated:

3 total copies

2 onsite, using dissimilar media

1 offsite, for disaster recovery

The Pope?

Believe it or not, also Hamas.

Capital idea!

“it would be far more efficient to create company scrip to pay them with, it’s not like they need anything we don’t provide right here.”

Hilux >>>>>> Cybertruck

It would be a crying shame if someone were to figure out a way to force those e ink displays to refresh fast enough that it kills the batteries on those things…

Nate Silver is a prime example of this thing that happens a lot with technical people. They get good at describing what is and then they start to think they understand “why”. Sometimes a good understanding can lead you to the why of a situation, but often you need actual experts to analyze the data you’ve collected.

The whole thing about the way his methods work is based on not actually understanding the interactions of the inputs he’s selected.

His book was interesting, but I wouldn’t trust his analysis too much.

Short answer: No, this guy is all the way up his own rear end.

Longer answer:

Author: “C is not ‘close to hardware’”

Also Author: “Successful one to one struct comparisons may require padding, which isn’t automatically applied!!!”

Like if you have an entire PhD on this stuff and you don’t understand how and why you need to pad, when you need to do it, and how to calculate the proper amount of padding, maybe somebody should’ve stopped you before you showed your whole ass on the Internet like that.

(Padding is applied to align chunks of data more closely to the size of memory writes possible in a given architecture, it is extremely system dependent and you use it in very specific circumstances that you, a beginner, do not need to understand right now other than to say that if the senior says thou shalt not fuck with my struct you better not)

I’m not sure how quickly I’ll be able to get through this, but thanks for the link, this is really interesting.
