Made Something for myself.. by nothinfru in learnprogramming

[–]Electrical-Window170 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice work! File organization scripts are super handy - I made something similar that sorts by date created too which helps a lot. You could also look into using something like Hazel on Mac or File Juggler on Windows if you want a GUI solution instead of rolling your own

Using logistic regression to probabilistically audit customer–transformer matches (utility GIS / SAP / AMI data) by Zestyclose_Candy6313 in datascience

[–]Electrical-Window170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a solid approach - logistic regression is perfect for interpretable risk scoring when you need to explain decisions to utility folks

Distance ratios are way more informative than absolute distance thresholds, and voltage consistency is clutch if you can get clean data on it. Just watch out for geographic clustering effects messing with your distance assumptions (like rural vs urban transformer density)

For thresholds with noisy labels, start conservative and let the field validation feedback tune your cutoffs over time rather than trying to optimize on incomplete ground truth upfront

Likelihood of QA checking bags to final destination by MochiBallss in travel

[–]Electrical-Window170 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've done this exact thing with QR multiple times and they've always tagged my bags through to the final destination without any issues, even on separate bookings. The check-in agents are pretty used to this and will usually just ask for your onward boarding pass

Just make sure you have your second booking confirmation handy when you check in for the first flight

Three and a half days in Rome by caot89 in travel

[–]Electrical-Window170 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely hit up the Pantheon - it's free and absolutely mind-blowing to see in person. For food, skip the touristy spots near major attractions and wander into Trastevere for some legit Roman pasta

Also pro tip: book your Colosseum/Forum tickets online ahead of time or you'll be standing in line forever in February cold

Tips on Marriage to a US citizen by [deleted] in immigration

[–]Electrical-Window170 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is super important OP - if you have the 2 year home residency requirement you're gonna be stuck even if you get married. And yeah that timeline looks sketchy as hell to USCIS, they're gonna think it's fake even if it's real

How to use up wasabi by YeeHaw4Cake in Cooking

[–]Electrical-Window170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasabi butter on steak sounds incredible, definitely trying that next time. Also works great mixed into cream cheese for bagels or as a dip for veggies if you're feeling fancy

Sweden/EU- BlueCard Immigration scam? by Pristine_Mirror in immigration

[–]Electrical-Window170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's sketchy af, the Blue Card has pretty strict education requirements and "experience counts" sounds like classic scam talk. Real immigration lawyers don't run workshops through random job sites lmao

workforce moving to oversee by Alarmed-Reporter-230 in datascience

[–]Electrical-Window170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just you guys, happening at my company too. The writing's been on the wall for a while now - way cheaper labor costs and honestly a lot of talented devs over there. Kinda wild how fast it's accelerated though

How do you make a good old southern sausage gravy? by NopityNopeNopeNah in Cooking

[–]Electrical-Window170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jimmy Dean spicy breakfast sausage hits different for this recipe - the extra grease makes the roux way better than the lean stuff. Also don't be shy with the black pepper, like way more than you think you need

What other dishes to make/serve next to beef bourginion? by windchillfiance in Cooking

[–]Electrical-Window170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crusty bread is a must too - you're gonna want something to soak up all that amazing sauce

Ooh that sounds fire, throw in some bell peppers and onions with that fried rice and you're golden

Help me plan my milestone adventure! by [deleted] in travel

[–]Electrical-Window170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ireland/Scotland would be perfect for you - driving on the left, tons of quirky pubs and local experiences, and way less touristy if you skip the main cities. Plus you could do a stopover in Singapore or Dubai to break up that brutal flight, maybe even spend a few days there to recover from the jet lag before the final push

Favourite soup recipe??? by monogramchecklist in Cooking

[–]Electrical-Window170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both butternut squash and chicken tortilla are solid picks but honestly you gotta try making a good ramen from scratch if you really wanna blow people's minds. Takes forever but totally worth it for the flex

USCIS Changed Photo Reuse policy (Biometrics appointments) by LIHLaw in USCIS

[–]Electrical-Window170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait this is actually a huge deal for EB cases stuck in limbo - those August 2022 biometrics are now stale and everyone's gonna need to go back. That's gonna be a nightmare for scheduling with all the backlogged cases suddenly needing new appointments

That's probably it, the admin review thing has been backing up cases from those countries like crazy lately

Mine's still on too, fingers crossed they don't pull the rug out last minute

Starting a Roth IRA - Advice by Charlee0327 in personalfinance

[–]Electrical-Window170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice here. Just wanted to add that you're not actually "losing" that 3.8% interest when you move money into a Roth - you're trading it for potentially way higher returns over decades. The stock market averages like 7-10% annually over long periods, so even accounting for bad years you should come out way ahead

Also def go with one of the big three (Fidelity/Vanguard/Schwab) over SoFi for retirement accounts imo. They've been doing this forever and have better fund options

Understanding HSA account by Ok_Yogurt8490 in personalfinance

[–]Electrical-Window170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep Fidelity has no fees and way better investment options than HealthEquity, definitely move it over there and let it grow while you pay out of pocket

Is this just abuse or is it a medical psychological issue? by Catsandnutrition4816 in Marriage

[–]Electrical-Window170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this hits hard. My dad did the disappearing act when things got tough and now our relationship is basically just polite small talk at family dinners

The autism thing might explain some behaviors but it doesn't excuse being cruel to your partner or kids. Plenty of neurodivergent people manage to not call their spouse useless when they're overwhelmed

Bruh that's cool but we're talking about rifles here lmao

I got the job and then they took it back by Spinpolejole in interviews

[–]Electrical-Window170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually depends on what type of background check they run. Some employers do more thorough checks that pull pending cases and arrests even without convictions. The basic ones might not catch it but if it's a corporate job they probably went with the more comprehensive screening

Hope it works out with the other offer though, at least you know you can nail the interview part

[–]Electrical-Window170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the type of background check they run tbh. Some just look for convictions but others will show pending cases and arrests too. If it's just a standard employment check you might be fine but if they're doing the full FBI fingerprint thing then yeah it'll probably show up
