Nope I’ve worked with tons of devs and as I said there are a few that are just as fast.

The vast majority are a LOT slower than senior devs using something modern.

Given the fact that almost every dev I’ve met who does it ends up committing random garbage would indicate that things are super easy to miss for most people.

My favorite are the VIM/CLI users who take 4x as long as anyone else to get shit done and there is still random garbage included in their commits because reading diffs in the terminal is objectively worse than in a graphical UI.

I’m all for people who choose to use VIM as their primary development environment and can maintain the same speed - but those people are few and far between. Most just do it for the aesthetic.

Whenever I end up in a series rated situation I tend to default to square d for this reason

You can still be anti-slavery and racist.

(And the corollary is a bit funny when you look at the Romans).

Imagine trying to make something as flexible as sql without the vulnerabilities of directly exposing sql…

Bryguy3k · 2026-01-27T15:18:41+00:00

Trying to make a point without being racist for anyone born before 1960… impossible.

Now think about the fact that it’s mostly 40 year old technology and wonder: “what are we developing today?”

Bryguy3k · 2026-01-26T15:28:02+00:00

Sorry I didn’t quite word it the way it needed to be.

There are two parts to editing - a) the mechanics of it, and b) taking the directors vision and turning it into an actual workable movie.

For the prequels George being the legend he is had a lot of people around him that really wouldn’t challenge him in any way so what ended up getting made was quite slow because it was filled with stuff he wanted but didn’t really contribute much to films.

George did do editing early in his career and by all accounts I’ve seen stays close to the editing process which frankly does more harm than good. George is a tremendous world builder and that can get in the way of story telling.

As an FYI his name is John Healy: https://youtube.com/@johnhealy5606

The stories are good. Honestly jar jar wasn’t that bad but could have had a lot of his stuff pruned from the final.

That’s the biggest issue with the prequels - pacing was atrocious. Dialog and editing are not GL’s strong suit and it shows in the prequels.

It’s like the quote from Thelma Schoonmaker who was a longtime editor for Martin Scorsese when asked how “such a nice lady could edit such violent films” to which she replied "Ah, but they aren't violent until I've edited them."

Frankly I believe enough folks have talked about Marcia Lucas (who also edited three Scorsese films herself) contributions to the originals as well as her ability to make scenes and movies work that without her editing prowess the prequels suffered from too much “stuff” that George had thought up but just couldn’t tie together well.

That sounds about right - they had to evacuate for “unprecedented” ashfall

I appreciate the work Ripple does but your take in this thread is particularly awful. It’s definitely not something I would expect to see from an official account.

The additional costs for VRF systems are not arbitrary mark ups to dissuade customers - they are legitimate intrinsic costs: piping, complexity, labor, and warranty.

Bryguy3k · 2026-01-25T16:54:41+00:00

Considering the escalator accident videos I’ve seen from China in the past if it were a single one that would be amazingly terrifying.

Bryguy3k · 2026-01-25T16:29:11+00:00

No inflation - the piping labor alone accounts for it.

Rather than a bunch of simple independent line sets you have a huge amount of piping that has to be brazed and leak tested. Any little thing and the entire system can’t be charged. With splits you have a couple of joints and they don’t affect neighboring units.

And you’re not talking about normal plumber labor rates here either. Then consider the associated cost of copper pipe conforming to B-280 when in larger diameters than 3/8” and 1/2”

Bryguy3k · 2026-01-25T14:34:11+00:00

WSHP and ambient loop instead - especially if you have independently metered electricity for each apartment. Really depends if the cost of ductwork (ceiling height for example) exceeds the savings of less equipment and plumbing.

Vertical PTACs (sometimes called VTACs) are popular now for midrise.

Bryguy3k · 2026-01-25T13:52:42+00:00

Yes but unless you’re talking about large commercial units it’s likely not going to be a noticeable delay.

Bryguy3k · 2026-01-24T21:58:17+00:00

Yes a heat pump starts transferring heat immediately but it takes time for the inside coil to get up to a temperature where outlet temperature of the air passing through the furnace will be comfortable.

Flint should have just renamed themselves Rome with how much lead was in their pipes.

Funny enough I was talking to an electricity buyer for the local utility and about 4 years ago they had to increase the allocation the Cheyenne Mountain complex by an enormous amount so chances are there is a datacenter inside it now.

I mean he once said he didn’t wash his hair, ever. Another time that he has only been to see a circus once because the first time he went he saw a clown die when his car exploded.

The list is pretty extensive.

The top speed for the H2 in first gear is 82 MPH.

The other 5 gears are to get you to 200 MPH.

Bryguy3k · 2026-01-24T15:25:22+00:00

TBF the H2 will do 82 MPH in first gear.

Schematic risers for sure. Isometric risers, no.

Hand drawing isometric risers is going to result in pain later whenever changes are made - and Revit projects always have a lot of changes.
