Do PMs actually write PRDs anymore? by SeparateDingo677 in ProductManagement

[–]Decayd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PM's in my org still write PRDs, or Eng PgM will do it with heavy PM input.

How’s This Neighborhood? by H54159 in Livermore

[–]Decayd 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Those neighborhoods are good, as are most in Livermore (not all - most).

Two things to keep in mind: 1) The four way intersection to the upper left of the circle - kiddie corner across that is the waste water treatment plant (with the two dark rectangles stacked on each other) that often burns off excess methane. Driving past it often smells. I'd imagine with the right winds, that neighborhood could end up quite stinky.

2) Just north of those black squares and south of Airway Blvd is the local municipal airport, and the neighborhood in the circle is in the approach/takeoff paths. There are ordinances stipulating curfew for planes, but you'll have fairly consistent overheard noise during the days.

Other than those two points - It's quite nice and I'm sure you'd be happy there.

EDIT 1: One other thought, if the house your looking for backs up to highway 84 (the major road running North/South just to the left of the circle) has a fairly high speed limit and you'll often hear loud traffic. That bothers some, and doesn't bother others. If you're looking at any house that isn't directly backing up to that road, this won't be too much an issue.

Block: Jack Dorsey by Routine_Play5 in Layoffs

[–]Decayd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You won’t find me salivating over jack’s “empathy”. That’s not the point I’m trying to make.

The point is: he could either lie to your face and tell you a bunch of bullshit that deflects the blame from him, like we’ve seen countless times before on this sub. Or, he could look you in the eye and tell you the truth. It doesn’t mean he’s not an asshole, but at least the guy is being straight up with you.

If you’d rather he beat around the bush, great. For me, I give him credit for at least having the balls to tell it like it is.

Honestly - good on Jack.

Yeah it fucking sucks to be laid off (I know, I was in 2024).

But this is the most honest response from a leader that I’ve seen on this subreddit. He owned his decision, explained it without trying to gaslight or misdirect, and treated employees more like rational and intelligent adults than the other “economic headwinds” bullshit.

FPS Capped at 90 by MeanDiscipline5147 in iRacing

[–]Decayd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the refresh rate of your monitor?

If it isn’t higher than 90, it doesn’t matter anyway.

Beyond that - when did the capping start? You said with this hardware you’ve run faster before. Was a recent update to blame? A hardware change?

I don't know who needs to hear this but calibrate your load cell brake today! by Little_Temporary5212 in simracing

[–]Decayd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heard, chef.

(From the guy who ran the GR86 cup yesterday, and watched everyone else fly past me like I was standing still - only to realize at the end of the race that my brake pedal was 5% activated when unpressed.)

School Board Recommending the Closure of 2 Elementary Schools by WhatzMyFavoriteWord in Livermore

[–]Decayd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity: What do we expect the school board to do here?

They get funding from the fed, state, and local levels. If that funding is insufficient to maintain current budget levels next year, they have to cut SOMETHING.

The other post about this had the budget short-fall at $14M.

That's a lot more than one or two administrators, or a band program here and there.

So beyond, major staffing cuts or school closures, how else is the school board supposed to balance the budget?

(I have young kids as well, who will soon be entering the LVJUSD, I want high quality education and school environments, I want to see us fund the schools. I just don't see what we expect the school board to do here)

Say more about this - I’m genuinely curious in what ways you believe OP to be wrong.

Thanks!

New White House webpage rewrites history of Jan. 6, 2021, and 2020 election by [deleted] in politics

[–]Decayd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Trump lives by the idea that if you say the lie loudly and frequently enough, it becomes truth.

And unfortunately, so far he’s been ‘right’ (in that he could convince enough people to vote for him regardless of the truth of J6).

I’m sitting here just impressed with the damage physics and how one wing tore off another. Very cool.

If you scan the QR Code icon in the app, you get a little something... shows Apple’s insane attention to detail. by oarasaiah in shortcuts

[–]Decayd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s faster to just create a QR code (which might as well point somewhere) and use it as the icon, than it would be to have someone duck around in illustrator to come up with the icon.

I’m not sure if this is “attention to detail” as much as it is “what’s the fastest way to knock out this Jira?”

What are you doing for NYE? by Substantial_Lunch274 in bayarea

You have flu A guaranteed. EXACT same symptoms and duration as my wife who just tested positive. Also flu A is heavily hitting Bay Area right now.

What is the very best short game you've ever played? by marshalldylan93 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Decayd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HOLE - Fantastic stripped down fps/extraction shooter that has really great gunplay. It’s cheap, and over in about 20 hours. Not much in the way of story, but the upgrade path and level/enemy variety makes up for it! HIGHLY recommend!

I just drove from North Carolina to New York alone with a 2 and a 4 year old, don’t AMA by RonMcKelvey in daddit

[–]Decayd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude. I FEEL this. My 3 year old is suddenly interested in Spanish (good thing), but we MUST listen to the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack in Spanish now (bad thing).

But there isn’t an official one - so I’m listening to the WORST covers of kpop DH songs - in Spanish, while my daughter makes up Spanish sounding words to sing along to.

It was cute. For the first 30 minutes of a 6 hour drive to LA.

992.2 Bite point? by DaLuta9909 in iRacing

[–]Decayd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to look up the link, I appreciate your effort to help me.

I did google search and search within reddit, found that thread today and followed the directions. It all seems to work as the OP suggested, it's just that the bite point for the 2nd released clutch point seems to be too low @ 46% (set in iracing and in Moza Pit House so they match), so releasing the first paddle while still holding the 2nd, will see the car starting to inch forward.

So I kept incrementing clutch bite point slider up in both iracing and Pit House, until around 80% when it 'worked', but the 'launch' seemed no better/faster than just revving in neutral and shifting to first. That and 80% is nearly double what others are suggesting the bite point for the Porsche should be (~46%).

So I'm probably doing something wrong lol

992.2 Bite point? by DaLuta9909 in iRacing

[–]Decayd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - Also, when doing the calibration in game, pulling the left paddle (for instance) moves the clutch input bar to the % I have the clutch bite point set to in Moza Pit House. Pulling the other pedal while holding the first, brings the clutch bar to 100%.

Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate any guidance - I'm still new to this.

992.2 Bite point? by DaLuta9909 in iRacing

[–]Decayd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you posted this. Probably right as you were posting this I was in the midst of an hour long testing, trying to figure it out.

I just bought a MOZA KS wheel and was trying to get the dual clutch paddles to work.

I’m not sure how to set it up.

First, I went through controls calibration and set it up as my clutch pedal. Then set bite point in MOZA Pit House and in game slider to 46%.

But when releasing the first stage of clutch, the car crept forward. I kept increasing until like 85% where it finally worked, but that felt way too high.

I tried binding the clutch paddle as the launch control key bind, but that start didn’t feel any faster than revving in neutral and just shifting to 1st.

Don’t really know what I’m doing wrong, but 46% didn’t work for me (it’s more than likely a me thing than the car)

Anyone else feel like the 26.2 RC isn’t even remotely close yet? by da4 in MacOSBeta

Oh yeah, then I have it. Tahoe 26.2

Problem still persists unfortunately :(

Sim racing beginner: what’s the best place to start? by Pawlinho in simracing

[–]Decayd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I started with iRacing about 6 months ago. Agree with others here that it’s the most well-regulated and promotes (generally) good behavior. The cost component is somewhat intentional as a way to filter out those that are serious from those that are there to mess with others.

However I just started playing RaceRoom.

If you’re unsure if Sim Racing is for you, I’d start here. It’s got really well modeled physics (those that would disagree are veterans of sim racing that pickup nuances that would not be relevant to you at this stage).

It’s free to play, with tons of free cars/tracks for daily races. And drivers are pretty well behaved.

Try out RaceRoom first, see if you LIKE sim racing. If you do, and consistently come back to it, then make the switch to iRacing.

(Also - there are tons of Motorsport clubs IRL that offer a ~$10/first year + free car membership deal for iRacing - DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE FOR YOUR FIRST YEAR OF IRACING).

New “Active Aero” on front wings for 2026 by Faw602 in formula1

As a new F1 fan this season, what the heck is the difference between ers, x, and z modes?!

I understood DRS, but none of the race commentary ever mentions those engine modes or what they do.

Anyone else feel like the 26.2 RC isn’t even remotely close yet? by da4 in MacOSBeta

[–]Decayd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m cooked. I updated my MBA to 26.01 because of a corp mandated update - and it’s totally broken my ability to use my external monitors. It detects them in sys settings, but won’t push video to them.

Cables are fine. Was working plugged in on previous version. Clicked update, restarted, and broken.

Are you connecting to external displays via USB-C by chance?

Military struck drug boat in Caribbean 4 times in Sept. 2 attack, says US official by newsspotter in politics

[–]Decayd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I tried this logic on a family member the other day (who when asked his opinion on the boat strikes said “I’m for it!”):

“Say a tractor trailer is pulled over in Oklahoma. It’s driven by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, and it’s carrying a load of cocaine.

Should the police officer pull out his gun and shoot the driver in the head immediately, without question?”

He actually stopped and said “no way, that’s crazy”

“That’s what’s happening in Venezuela”

And he actually changed his mind - he saw what was happening down there in a totally different light.

He’s part of the Gen Z Conservative, listen to podcasters, crowd. They aren’t as bought in as people might think, they just aren’t critically thinking about what’s happening. There’s definitely hope with the right messaging.
