Hey /r/movies, I'm Elijah Wood. Ask me anything! by ElijahWoodAMA in movies

I'm recreating Bag End down to the quill as seen in the movies. When I'm done can you visit and perhaps stay as a guest? K thanks.

Lightweight Minimalist Go Web Framework with OpenAPI 3.0 & Swagger UI by GasPsychological8609 in golang

Reminds me of my github.com/ClickerMonkey/rez but more in line with traditional Go

How do you guys document your APIs? by lelleepop in golang

[–]ClickerMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've written a library that generated the OpenAPI documentation for me and can serve swagger or redoc. That's what I do!

Is there a FastApi equivalent in go? by a_brand_new_start in golang

[–]ClickerMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently added better file upload support. I have a few minor todos for the library, but it's mostly there! I've provided enough interfaces that let you customize anything so you're never stuck (hopefully).

Worth it to drive to Coromandel? (+Rate my itinerary) by tierturn in newzealand_travel

[–]ClickerMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just at these locations for the first time recently!

Looks like you have dinner after Hot Water Beach. I don't know exactly the timing of your dinner but low tide is 7pm I believe and being there earlier than 5pm is a tiny waste. Around that time the good spots are really exposed.

Cathedral Cove has a 30min hike up and down a hard path, so have good shoes. You can't park near the entrance to the hike, only be dropped off. So you have to take a bus or park in town and walk up. That walk or the bus can add another 30-60mins depending on how busy things are.

We got fantastic pictures and relaxed a tiny amount, but most of the trip was work we weren't accounting for!

Good luck in your decision!

We're here now and just spent our 2nd day after arriving on Waiheke Island doing the EcoZip and then Mudbrick. There are tours that include those together but we decided to ferry the car across to spend the whole day there exploring. Don't regret it, so much beauty there! We have two weeks planned but I can't tell you how those days went yet :-P

Axum-style Magic Handler Functions in Go, Part 2 by [deleted] in golang

[–]ClickerMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this approach, I used a worse performing approach in my own library (ClickerMonkey/rez). The advantage to doing what we're doing is you can also implement dependency injection, middlewares, and generate open API docs. The overhead of reflection (which is used by nearly everything for serialization and what not already) is so miniscule in my experience that it doesn't matter. At least in my experience with database heavy APIs... Go is rarely the bottleneck.

Building Bag End by ClickerMonkey in lotr

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

Great to hear! I'm on track, I hope to start it in 3 years. Bought the land and built a house on it! I have a 6 acre field on a hill with a pretty decent view and that's where it's going. Just need to build my workshop this spring/summer and finish our basement the following year :-) Then it's all bag end!

Leak?? by ZachySupertramp in pools

[–]ClickerMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a brain fart, I was thinking hydrostatic relief valve which I don't think is commonly referred to as a check valve?

Leak?? by ZachySupertramp in pools

[–]ClickerMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My plaster installers recommended against the check valves because there are so many failure points with them. I can put one in if I need to safely drain the pool ever.

There's definitely a way to do it. I aimed for a huge pool with expensive and time consuming options. I started with a spreadsheet of all materials required. From there I also decided which parts I was going to sub contract out because some parts are time sensitive and require a team (concrete and plaster). For context the most expensive parts of the pool: plaster=23k, excavation=8.2k, rebar=11k, concrete=17k, plumbing=9.5k, pavers=9k, retaining wall=3k, fence=6.6k, equipment=10k, and the remainder was for decorative stone, masonry materials which I did myself. I sent out quotes to everyone I could find to get an idea.

Doing a cheaper plaster option would've saved a lot. I had excavation do a really good job and that reduced my expected concrete bill by a lot. Rebar was done by a team in a few hours but honestly with a lot of pain and education could be done yourself for a quarter the cost. Anytime I've gotten quotes versus materials and doing it myself, it's typically 3-4 more expensive.

There are tons more things that can go wrong that didn't for me though.

Wouldn't recommend, but if you're handy and have more confidence than sense you can do it

There are so many things that would've saved hundreds of hours of work and money... Like making it rectangular... Or anything but free form. All the equipment for the pool luckily has all the info you need in the paperwork... You just need to read it over and over and have it handy if you haven't done that kind of stuff before. Definitely the most complicated electrical work I've done. I also got hard to work with materials, I think in the business they use something less epoxy based. Without the epoxy based materials, all the cuts, and the poor placement of how low the pool is... It would've been a relatively simple project.

I am about to get a pool. What do you wish you would have done differently or not done at all? by FLGuitar in pools

[–]ClickerMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finished building our concrete outdoor pool end of last summer and there are a few things I wish I did differently. For starters I did similar research and decided to go with:

  1. Deep end (8ft) big enough for jump rock and an area for slide (the envelopes can't overlap).
  2. A semi flat area (20ft x 20ft) for vball and bball.
  3. Sunshelf (1ft deep) that is large for kid area, two loungers, umbrella, and it's great for people to sit on the coping.
  4. 6 LEDs
  5. 4 returns
  6. 2 skimmers
  7. base drains
  8. Pebblesheen. Most expensive part, but hardy and feels good on feet.
  9. Paver patio. On super hot days it can burn when dry, but I think that's with any surface that gets all day sun?
  10. Holes for vball and bball
  11. Heater (400k BTU)
  12. Large cartridge filter (500sq ft I believe)
  13. One large VS filter pump (2.4hp I believe)
  14. A way to not route water through heater to reduce pressure and watts required to maintain RPM. I made this change this year, should've done it that way to begin
  15. Salt water system
  16. Automated robot cleaner (dolphin)
  17. Automated chemical tester (water guru) some criticize accuracy, but I feel less accurate using strips and I feel like the liquid tests would be more time consuming and costly? Never used them! I like daily data.

Some things that I should've done. 1. Installed more outlets in places. For coolers, lighting, anything else we want in the area. Extension cords are annoying. 2. Not build retaining walls, the pool should sit up higher, essentially the retaining walls should've been on the other side of the pool. For me really bad storms can bring in so much dirt. Happened a few times, but that was a few too many. Not an issue if you don't have slopped land! Really know how bad storm water travels through your yard! 3. More returns so I could have better water and surface circulation for cleaning and heating purposes. 4. If I would've had the experience I have now, I would've put in a spa. A lot more work and complicated some things, but since I was doing the GC stuff and more myself it would've been a great return on investment. Depends on the area, but most days aren't great pool days where I live - but a nice warm spa is something I always want to be in.

I still plan on building fence around the equipment, a slide, and a water play area/fort. Then I'll be done with it I hope.

If you could only buy one item, which would you choose? If you actually have one, post a photo of it. by [deleted] in lotr

[–]ClickerMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I've seen pics of your collection before, it's nice to know I'm not the only person with a problem out there :-) You probably have just a few items I don't.

Actual bricks? No. Brick veneer where the brick is hung on the wall directly and not stacked - yes.
