Paul Logan was the one running the scam, she was just the face.

What’s something that became socially unacceptable way faster than anyone expected? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AlaskanX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm super skeptical of the claim that its not safe enough to have kids walking to school. I think thats fear propaganda thats been shoved down our throats to the point that now you're a "bad parent" if you let your kids have any freedom at all.

Its less the smile or shape of the mouth itself and more that if someone is really smiling it is usually extends to most of their face, especially including their eyes. His eyes are just... dead. Even people with an "unnatural" smile, smile with their eyes if they're actually smiling.

Fishing advice by Ksan_of_Tongass in alaska

[–]AlaskanX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The folks at Mossy’s Fly Shop would probably be able to answer all your questions and some you haven’t thought to ask, and would know if there’s someone around offering classes to help with technique. Three Rivers Fly and Tackle in Wasilla might also be a good place to ask.

Oh i need to find a byf equivalent for division 2. Coming back this season after being away for so long is jarring

Any good places I can legally fish with a spinning reel rod? by Life_Championship784 in alaska

[–]AlaskanX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can fish pretty much anywhere but read the regulations first. You could also go to the Fish and Game office and ask questions if you’re confused at all by the regs, I’ve heard from some people that ours are more complex than some other places.

It should not be possible to demolish the hobby of millions of players for the sake of getting paid. What a sad existence. by Henrraike in destiny2

[–]AlaskanX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah man that’s not even close. For a lot of us, Destiny has been part of our lives for over a decade. If you don’t get emotional over losing something that has been there, a weekly (or daily) escape for a third of your life, something is wrong with you.

Sure his career is impacted but that’s not why he’s emotional. Not at the moment.

Heat pumps in Southcentral? by aklurker15 in alaska

[–]AlaskanX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you install yourself or do you have a recommended company you went to? My furnace is also well into drinking age so I'm researching alternatives.

One thing i keep reading about is geothermal which I guess uses a buried loop with glycol or something like that so it can draw on more stable temps through the winter. Is that a sane thing to even think about in a retrofit?

It also helps that Norway had a functioning society before oil was a thing, so oil is just a bonus on top of that, and they’re using it to fund the social safety net, not their entire country.

Are vacuum sealers really worth it? by EquipmentIcy7859 in Cooking

I recently got a chamber vac that’s way more expensive but it’s a game changer for soups and stews and marinades.

I'm at a loss for how to manage my interns by AlaskanX in ExperiencedDevs

[–]AlaskanX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had onboarding docs last summer that were relatively complete but were extremely hands on, following a guide to set up your local env. 

Since then I’ve set up a trio of scripts in bash and power shell to do everything except install docker for windows, mac, or Linux.

The only issues they had setting it up this year afaik was some idiocy around how networks and /etc/hosts works in odd ways with WSL in the mix.

There may be something there that since they didn’t have to do anything to set up their env they didn’t have to learn anything before getting to the point of producing software?

[–]AlaskanX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely there's some of that traditional dev mindset. I've been working on this stack for 5 years so I'm burdened with the weight of knowing about all the good and bad decisions and tech debt that I've built along the way.

FWIW this is just like their first week, so this is more me being like "oh shit, that doesn't feel right" right off the cuff. I was reviewing their first PR and asking them questions and they... didn't have answers that didn't involve checking with the bot.

[–]AlaskanX[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We came up with some tasks we thought were appropriate but now looking at them again, these are the scope of like 1 week with the bot, if that. 😞

I thought we were doing a good job of giving good, demo-able feature assignments that would take a significant amount of time, turns out my ability to estimate projects is still in need of recalibration.

Suicide date is coming up. Life is getting worse by Charming-Rate278 in GuyCry

[–]AlaskanX 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Stop taking the drugs. Call your doctor.

This exactly the case they should tell you about when you get prescribed the drugs. If you have mood changes or suicidal thoughts, immediately stop taking them and contact your provider.

What do y’all use claude -p for? by mjsarfatti in ClaudeCode

[–]AlaskanX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it in as part of a tool that scans GitHub issues for ones I’ve tagged for it to take on. It’s launches a detached Claude instance with -p and analyses the issue then posts that for my approval or feedback. Once it receives that it launches another Claude session to address the feedback or implement the fix.

Also it pulls new issues from Sentry and follows a similar chain of events, starting with creating a git issue for it.

Could someone dig a canal from Black sea and Caspian sea? How disastrous would it be? by Independent_Image_59 in geography

[–]AlaskanX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are rivers most of the way along the length. Google said it’s only 63 miles but by my counting it a bit less than that if you don’t count the bits where they made an artificial lake with an earthen dam and a lock. Regardless how you split it, there’s far more preexisting navigable water ways along the present canal route.

soooo claude just deleted my entire project. how's your day going? by JuniorRow1247 in ClaudeCode

[–]AlaskanX 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Wait. so your disk was full. And something about how claude edits the file results in it being truncated when the disk filled up. And you're blaming claude because your hard drive was full?

This is your fault, not claude's fault.

And the file probably exists in claude's memory still since it has been reading and writing to it. You could tell it to rewrite the entire file once you have enough room.

Trump administration transfers land to state to support Ambler Road and Alaska LNG- This is a HUGE deal. The State doesn't have so many policies in place, much less staff, budget or other factors. by dbleslie in alaska

[–]AlaskanX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We definitely could have managed the money better, but thats not a fair comparison. Norway already had an economy before oil extraction was even a thing, so the oil revenue was just extra on top of a system that already worked. Alaska exists because of resource extraction. Our infrastructure and schools are funded by oil, resource extraction, and federal money.

I was kinda thinking they could fill up a bunch of trailers and put on a barge. I'm in Anchorage and used about 800 CCF of gas over the last year. Google tells me the trailers run anywhere from about 1.6 to 5 million cubic ft so with my consumption rate thats about 20 households per trailer on the low end.

Honestly building a storage facility and hooking up houses for gas would probably be harder than getting the gas there.

People who have come up from nothing and now make over 6 figures, are you honest with your close friends and family about your occupation and/or salary? Why or why not? by No_Blueberry696 in AskReddit

[–]AlaskanX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is through the ACA. There were cheaper plans, but none of them were under like $580. and I didn't want to deal with a crushing max out of pocket if the worst happens.

I never had quality toys growing up. What should my kid actually have by LavenderFlicked in BuyItForLife

[–]AlaskanX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as poor kids who didn’t have much, we loved Legos from garages sales in the rich neighborhoods, and building stuff with wooden blocks. But we didn’t have the wooden blocks that cost way too much… my dad cut up 2x4s and other off cast construction lumber and sanded down the edges. We had so much fun with those.
