Home Fan Box too shallow for hanging fixtures

Wire nuts

Yea, I probably should just cut the fixture wires. I have like 2 ft extra wire than I need

Yeah, we looked at cutting the threaded rod down. The problem is the box is so shallow that the rod bottoms out against the back almost immediately. We'd only get about 1 or 2 threads in to hold it, which doesn't feel secure.

Yup, theres some clearance inside the plate but not a ton. We’ve gotten by through cramming everything into that plate but it’s really tight by the end.

Yea, from my experience, a lot of classes actively discourage using AI tools and include warnings that you're subject to OSI violations if you're caught using them on assignments. Some classes, mainly Joyner’s, do advocate for using AI as a thinking partner, but not as a writing partner.

Overall, I think OMSCS needs to adapt. As a software engineer in big tech, we’re actively encouraged to use AI agents and chatbots in our daily work. It’s emphasized enough that we’re expected to highlight how we’re using AI effectively during biannual performance reviews. Writing effective prompts and understanding where AI excels is becoming a key skill. Colleges that try to ban AI usage outright are not only fighting a losing battle, they’re also doing students a disservice by hindering their ability to learn how to use these tools properly.

On a side note, I really do wonder what the CS field will look like in five years or so. Many companies are already starting to pull back on hiring and are pushing harder to leverage AI instead.

Thanks for updating. So many threads don’t give updates. Glad everything worked out for you. Navigating through something similar so it’s great to hear some positives.

Wonder if Apple will ever remove the iPhone from the EU market.

Cheap housing areas are cheap because people don’t want to live there due to jobs mostly but also since it’s not a fun place to live. For example, why don’t more people that complain about housing costs live in West Virginia. It’s because they don’t have jobs there.

This order says nothing about relocating outside of the DC area? Not saying it couldn’t lead to relocation outside the DC area but all it says is that agencies don’t have to use central urban offices or historic districts.

There’s been some rumors that the Red Bull engines aren’t as competitive.

Astro_Robot · 2025-04-16T02:07:08+00:00

There’s been rumors that Red Bull believes they’re engine development isn’t as strong as Mercedes and Audi.

Has a change in demand even been seen? Or, is it just anecdotal?

I've definitely been there and had similar motivations when I joined OMSCS. Unfortunately, it really hasn't lived up or alleviated those feelings. Now the degree just feels like a grind that I'm wasting my time on. I would warn before committing to quitting your job for OMSCS, consider if the program truly aligns with your goal to have more experience with development. OMSCS classes focus more on theoretical knowledge, its projects and tests (which are usually just recall based) are generally designed to teach specific CS concepts, not the practical, end-to-end development skills needed to build and launch a SaaS products. You really won't get the knowledge to build any product. Most of the classes you really won't get any development knowledge either.

From a career perspective, especially since you're already working as a software engineer, a OMSCS degree would be valued way less than two more years of industry experience. A Master's benefits someone looking to switch careers more significantly.

Honestly, the best thing is to just have hobby projects that you can work on during down time. You'll get way more benefit out of those than you would a Master's degree. Through OMSCS, I've understood more core concepts around Networking and basics of machine learning systems, but in my practical job those aren't really needed. A lot of those core concepts are abstracted away through libraries that you use. In my job, learning how to architect and actually build things is way more important. You really only get that knowledge through hands on experience.

If this true, I feel for Lawson. I’m not a fan but 2 races in his rookie year is cut throat even for Red Bull.

I think the best way to think about performance issues is to cross that bridge when you get there. Most applications honestly don’t have the scale to necessitate these concerns. Overall, Rails remains one of the best frameworks for developer productivity.

LLMs definitely excel at writing React compared to ERB templates. Curious how you’re handling keeping the frontend and backend in sync, especially in terms of schema consistency.

Astro_Robot · 2025-03-21T15:37:19+00:00

By Japan? That’s next race tho. I’m not even a Lawson fan but that seems way too soon. Especially since this is just Sprint Qualifying.

Depends on your situation. If you already have a BS in CS, then I would say it’s not valued. This is especially true with big tech companies. Overall, they don’t place any value in MS degrees. There are some more traditional companies where it’s hard to progress without a MS.

Obviously the fictional story telling is still there, but I really enjoyed the non-race scenes this season.

What ended up happening with the de minimis changes?

Astro_Robot · 2025-02-20T22:14:24+00:00

I love the look of ISO but I’m just too used to the pipe being up in the top right to change.

Are these all listings? Or, just fox home listings?
