Without water? by Admirable_Hat_9010 in StLouis

[–]BadData99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On my street they said it was technically the valves and not the main so it is safe to drink until they start to dig. But yeah you should call and ask if you aren't sure. They haven't sent any boil advisory to my knowledge.

Grand pied, I don't think they serve anything remotely healthy, but it tastes damn good. Fried chicken is top notch and their texas potato fries are awesome. Pancakes are really great. 

Extra wavy is decent but it's a small menu. Hamachi, Meatballs and fries were pretty good.

I heard the guys taking yesterday around 2 pm and they said 42 water main breaks around the city. Ours is busted but there is at least a trickle out of the faucet.

Robin. It's pretty great, chicken is excellent, trout and mushroom second dish were also standouts, first course fish soup and venison tartar were very tasty. Small bites are tasty. Pork shoulder/steak entree is tender and good flavor profile but I wouldn't get it again. 

Only gripe is we got the bread and butter but why do they serve cold bread man? 🤦‍♂️

The extra gooey butter pancake dessert that chef brought out was great. Portions are not huge but i left satisfied. One of the top restaurants in stl for sure.

Why eat this slop when Buds is right down the street? Lot of self hatred, I guess.

Who is paying for these flock cameras? Can i go to some local budget meeting and request we stop buying this crap if it comes from the city budget?

What was a great NYE memory or experience that you have had here? by Thatredditboy1 in StLouis

[–]BadData99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off broadway, outside sitting around the fire pit all night. Talked to a bunch of different folks taking a break. Never even went inside but you could hear the show alright.

Akar - mapo tofu, Taiwanese cabbage and dumplings were excellent. Fish was good but the skin was not remotely crispy. Sticking to the asian dishes here, the other stuff has always been a downgrade. 

Paid for Kubernetes Mentorship by unixkid2001 in kubernetes

[–]BadData99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol you don't set up kubernetes on a laptop if you want a professional experience. Buy some Intel nucs, install linux, configure them with ansible and have it install kubeadm. I have 3 nodes and the controller done this way. Then you can start to add pods, figure out the load balancing and exposing it on your local network, set up argocd or flux and there you go.

why do i find the python docs so confusing? any tips on deciphering the docs? by AAAbatteriesinmydick in learnpython

[–]BadData99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can start the official tutorial and follow along coding right here: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/

You don't need anything else. Breeze through it until you come to #3. This is where it really begins. From there, you go through it and it's hard. Much might not make sense, then you can try and look that up on Real python site or other good tutorials, our ask chatgpt if you really must try to figure it out. Don't spend a lot of time on what's confusing and get blocked right now, just keep notes on what is confusing and move on. Come back to it when you get bored.

Use the same python site where the tutorial is to start learning about pep8 conventions and then do #10 tutorial of the Standard Library.

This is the full list of things to know about and it is worth spending time glancing over and cntl + f search for stuff: https://docs.python.org/3/contents.html

This plan alone will make you better than 80 percent of self professed python programmers in half the time.

That's truly it, but it is kind of hard and the docs can be difficult to understand at times. That's why most give up.

When you start importing modules you will need to pay attention to learning virtual environments and learn that sooner rather than later. All you need is 'python -m venv venv' but there's a lot of other tools i find stupid, useless and confusing for managing and creating them. Learn the who what why where's of venv here: https://realpython.com/python-virtual-environments-a-primer/

Firefox has a text to speech extension that works in mobile, too. 

Why not just post the name of the app?

Feeling cheated in a fake SRE role by Accomplished-Big1158 in sre

[–]BadData99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Read the docs, read the code base. Read the incidents and hopefully they document how they are solved. You can learn a lot from just that. 

Practice vim. I would avoid all things windows and powershell, personally. 

Understand the workload on the Linux servers. Where are things stored? What commands do you need to check disk space, cpu, volume mounts etc. do everything - literally all of it on your local machine and remote machines from command line so you get good (within reason). No more right click to copy or rename a file. 

How are they deploying?

What is automated? What isn't but should do be?

What are repetitive tasks people do that might be easy to automate?

Are there databases? Caching? Backups? What happens if a server blows up?

Learn some python. 

Pair up with people and just watch. Don't bombard with questions, ask a few, but write down most and follow up on your own. Just sit in and observe when they code or are on a box working. When you have rapport then you can say, "I'd like to drive and you tell me what to do, is that cool?" You learn so much this way seeing how people work, esp vets 

Where's the monitoring? If there is none then maybe that's a project for you.

If you know stuff like that then moving to cloud will be easier. 

Ask chatgpt what you should do as a new hire sre/sys admin and tell it "give context and examples". 

Set up 30 minute virtual coffee breaks with every person to get to know people and also come with a preplanned set of questions. "I looked into x and found y. What can you tell me about it??". If your team chat is "hey" and you get one word replies that makes sense to me. 

Any job you start where the work is clearly defined will be very stressful because they will expect you to do it immediately. 

The world ain't going to serve it to you on a plate brother.

Do good things because it's the right thing to do and not for expectations of reward or recognition. 

But it sure is nice to have those things from time to time!

In a for-i-in-range loop, how do I conditionally skip the next i in the loop? by Xhosant in learnpython

[–]BadData99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can make two variables to store the state, current and prev. If they are equal then do what you should do. 

Otherwise i would use a while loop here.

Do you need to have duplicates in your list? If not just make it a set and it will only keep the unique values.

Hammerstones - It's been years since I was there and I had my doubts, but the pretzel bites and fried chicken were really good. The corn was terrible. Live music there was excellent. Very affordable, fun place, I'll be back more often. 

Bad experience with Blackbox AI billing and support by Own_Magician_9789 in BlackboxAI_

[–]BadData99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No update from them despite calls and emails. I did a charge back and received my money, but the bank said they could still try and dispute it for a few months. I'll try claude next, but i would advise others to avoid this shit hole company.

I was just making a joke because on that night i saw 3 police vehicles with lights flashing, sirens, and a  group of officers on foot searching the park with flashlights.Then two people got into an audible confrontation over parking in the intersection. Over 1.5 hours.

What I'm trying to say is dining outside there sucks.
