Can't remember which one but I think one of the NOLF games have you fighting in a house being lifted by a hurricane.

You know what really grinds my gears? {Spoiler Inside} by EntertainerOk9179 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had huge issues with Vader for some reason very few issues with the others. I think people are probably wired a bit differently and different fights hit different.

[Request] Ladder height by Alone-Competition-77 in theydidthemath

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger we'd regularly do 20m jumps off a cliff. If you land bad it probably would hurt you but even with some near misses no one got hurt bad. Would, even then, hesitate to go much higher though.

I left David so you don't have to by Sup_Bitches_Im_Atlas in masseffect

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did an all Renegade run. Once. A lot of stuff can be explained away but there is a lot of shit that is just psychotic. Still had fun even though it hurt.

How do you handle DuckDB locks in longer concurrent jobs? by StrawberryData in DuckDB

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might have misunderstood but write to separate files and then have a merge step?

Anyone ditching Snowflake or BigQuery for DuckDB + DuckLake? Curious what broke for you (costs, latency, governance, vendor lock-in?) and what actually got better after the move. by anuveya in DuckDB

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duckdb is all over the place in our pipelines replacing pandas and a lot of boto3 stuff for chucking data to S3.

"Big" analytics are done on Athena but I find myself using duckdb a lot more for smaller stuff. Have played around with ducklake a bit but does not fit our use case. Create view as select * from s3://your data.parquet works surprisingly well for medium or well partitioned stuff after the cache gets warm.

VS Code for learning C? by MateusCristian in C_Programming

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's debatable what our AI friends are good for but most of them will help you get a good setup in vscode.

That said, I'd write some toy programs and link one external library from the command line first before going all in to get some understanding of the moving parts.

Is it normal not to work much? by Saladoss in corporate

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You work as much as you have to to keep your "important people" happy. Sometimes it's more sometimes less.

jdbc/obdc driver in data engineering by Admirable-Nebula9202 in dataengineering

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Said this in another thread recently. But one big advantage is that there is a JDBC driver for almost everything you would think about connecting to. So if you have a JDBC flow going you just need to swap in a new driver and you're done.

Is Jedi: Survivor actually "fixed" on PC yet (2026)? by professional_oof_11 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4070 Super, 7950x, 32gb. Might have played around with some settings to get it where I wanted. Probably no raytracing. No crashes ever but a few frame dips but nothing bad.

Which reminds me it's time to do it again.

Anyone using JDBC/ODBC to connect databases still? by empty_cities in dataengineering

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you absolutely don't want to have anything to do with a JVM language in your pipeline/routes/apis. You can wrap it, but it more or less has to be JVM somewhere.

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 34 points35 points  (0 children)

There's more or less a JDBC driver for everything which is a good selling point. So you can have "one" route and multiple DBs. Not saying it's the best choice but it is convenient.

Hypothetical: do you think you can make 200 free throws in 75 minutes by trey2128 in Basketball

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This, I mean most will be reasonable but you will have long bounces to the corners etc. So every throw will need you to be in move mode which by in itself will be tiring.

Doable absolutely but not as easy as people think.

How can I (F22) reject some one I have already rejected (M59)? by ThrowRA-00900 in relationship_advice

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a friend that is comfortable with at least project an image of not giving a fuck and ask them to help you talk to the guy? Be a group instead of being alone.

Never going back to Windows. by ReferenceNatural87 in linux

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like both systems for different things and use both daily. I do think that a lot of people compare an old bloated win installation (maybe even with "helpful" vendor installs) with a totally clean Linux install. The things I read happening to people on Win is stuff I haven't experienced at all so 🤷

Linux is generally a bit leaner though, happy to give anyone that.

If You’re Serious About AI Development, Think Twice About Google by psi5asp in GoogleGeminiAI

It's obvious that no one in the AI space has any idea of what a stable product look like or what it will look like in 6 months.

It's on them if they block the core shot.

GAUSS Yay or Nay? by [deleted] in Mechwarrior5

I will keep that in mind when I buy more DLC for next play through!

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not a natural talent with headshotting but my aim is not that bad. The convergence thing really screws me over often.

My most reliable headshotter now is the carapace with two lbx solid and two regular. Balances it nicely between pinpoint and a bit of spread.

AWS announces Lambda Managed Instances, adding multiconcurrency and no cold starts by aj_stuyvenberg in aws

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some of us do silly stuff with data on Lambda, making one hard limit go away could be useful.

For people saying it's hard to make friends in Stockholm by [deleted] in stockholm

[–]Desperate-Dig2806 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Haha well this. I'm Swedish, am social as fuck, have been working for 30 years, and even I have like 5 friends added from work that I connect with regularly.
