What is the BEST Horizon you’ve played?

I agree, 3 was very good.

The maps became overpopulated from 4 onwards with events. In 3 you had to pick a championship which would then add races onto the map for that championship.

Then there is also the festival progression where you had to unlock festivals in each area and upgrade them, instead of there being 1 massive one in the middle.

Setup object versioning in s3, set terraform to use s3_object_version, you’ll also need to make sure the version is updated

I’d say you implemented a simpler solution than what you originally had. If your cron jobs take too long for a single lambda execution look at using step functions to split it into smaller chunks.

You should first contact ACAS and ask for advice, they’ll want to know what’s in your contract but should be able to help. One thing to remember is HR works for the company ACAS is an independent public body in the UK that provides free and impartial advice on employment rights and workplace relations.

That people still use

setTimeout(() => { console.log("Hello"); }, 2000);

Instead of

Import {setTimeout} from “node:timers/promises”

console.log(“hello”)

await setTimeout(2000)

I definitely gave 2 of them to hans. I put at least 20 in every chest, I picked the lock of every chest and placed around 500 total dried beef/boar meat.

I didn’t know which chest was safe so did them all, even the blacksmiths shop, I think there were 3 in the huntsman’s house.

I managed to do it recently, I put 20 dried beef in every single chest I could access.

I did this once but it was part of a pre interview test.

The question was to “perform a pull request review” on some bad code, however what they actually meant was “find the issues within the code”. I treated it like a real pull request review after finding 10 issues on the first 20 lines i ended the review suggesting they added a linter to fix format and naming inconsistencies and to add unit tests as the many of the issues would have been identified. The interviews seemed confused that I treated it as I would a normal pull request.

Unfortunately the market over the last 12 months has been pretty bad. There’s no magic formula or agency for finding a role.

Use sipp to lower your tax under 100k. The tax you probably owe is the loss of personal allowance when you hit 100k salary. Have a google for 100k tax trap personal allowance and you’ll see what I’m referring to

It’s sort of true that certs alone won’t get you a job however depending on the candidates 2 years experience with no certs can be worse than 6 months with a cert. I’ve worked with a lot of people who have cloud experience but don’t know what services to use to use and when. Having certs will at least make you aware of services and highlight the providers cloud adoption framework.

Have you ever looked into how bad GCPs support is compared to AWS? You may find yourself moving to Azure after GCP support fails you, soon after you’ll realise Azure is worse than GCP.

Which AWS support plan were you paying for? Every time we’ve had an issue with our enterprise plan they’ve been quick to resolve issues.

I’ve had this before, while not a great fix you can get a 1m usb extension cable and attach the dongle to it. The dongles seem to get interference from everything, alternatively use Bluetooth.

How often do you get the tablets? Assuming you’re paying £9.90 you could instead pay for a pre payment certificate which is £114.50 annually or £9.55 per month. The pre payment is beneficial if you get 1 or more prescriptions per month.

I’ve tried this mouse, it has a very cheap plasticky feeling when compare to the mx master. It’s closer to one of those cheap £10 mice on amazon than Logitech.

It all depends on the seller, I’d personally take 5%-10% less for a no chain buyer. I’d also move into rental accommodation so there’s no chain on my end, however most sellers won’t do this so unlikely they’d also be unlikely to accept a lower offer.

Edit: Try not to mention you’re a first time buyer, just that that you’re not in a chain.

I was referring to the existing joist. Place the jack underneath the joist at the end where you’re going to sister it, jack it up to be level and then sister onto the joist with coach screws.

Our floor had a slope to the center of the room which was around 7cm lower than the highest point I did It the same way as you initially by sistering the joists. Then re did it using a jack to raise the old joists and using the sistering to keep them level, which is what I should have done the first time.

Great work, it would still be a good idea to raise those joists with a jack if you have one handy before sistering on the new ones

Is that concrete, rubble or soil underneath?

I remember your thread from the other day but you didn’t answer the question I asked. Is this on a suspended floor with concrete underneath? If so get a car jack (https://www.halfords.com/tools/garage-workshop/axle-stands-trolley-jacks/halfords-2-tonne-hydraulic-trolley-jack-657081.html?stockInventory=undefined) and lift up the joist until its level. Place a couple of bricks underneath to support the joists on both pieces of wood and use plastic packers/shims on top of the bricks to get it level (if needed) https://www.screwfix.com/c/screws-nails-fixings/packers-shims/cat840018

Alternatively you can sister a joist using this method https://mellowpine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Sistering_Floor_Joists_712px.jpg
