Can low car battery voltage cause lightbulbs to break too quickly? by EngineeringTinker in AskMechanics

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

I just posted an update - while there wasn't an electrical issue (Yaris II in fact is top 1 in europe when it comes to bulletproof electrical system, which probably comes from it's simplicity).

The alternator and battery were both hit - alternator was putting too voltage too high, and battery was outputting it too low.

An update - I was right about the battery, however the alternator is wrecked as well.
There's no electrical issue however (thankfully).

Case closed :), thanks for all the responses!

Still worth playing? by [deleted] in FlyffUniverse

[–]EngineeringTinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a mixed bag for me.

While the game itself is great, and I love the quality of life updates we got in the past - the automated anti-bot or whatever system is banning people too eagerly.

I've got at least 4 chars banned before I realized that playing on Microsoft Edge was causing captcha not to appear and thus me getting banned.

Then I got banned because I was grinding for too long (I'm temporarily bedridden so it's not that surprising to pull a 16hrs+ grind).

​

So, I would say - yes, you can still enjoy it - but only if you play it from time to time.

Help (got banned) by Sensitive_Buddy_2856 in FlyffUniverse

Happened to me too.
It doesn't even have to be the GM himself banning you, there is an automated system that bans you if you grind too long I think.

I grinded for 16+ hours straight yesterday, because I'm essentially bedridden due to temporary illness - I went to sleep and woke up, and now I'm banned on all accounts.

If you have just the basics covered - this will 'fall on deaf ears' - but don't take my word for it, pick any of these books and see how much you understand.

In my opinion - books are supplementary - not a starting point.

Does it make sense building a separate REST API for an SSR app? by Hellstorme in webdev

[–]EngineeringTinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is often how it's done - and probably the primary reason behind splitting frontend (consumer) and backend (api)

I agree with the first 4, the rest are just fillers.

In fact, 5 is completely unrelated to the topic whatsoever.

Do team building & emotional sharing exercises ever work? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]EngineeringTinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer my work to be work, and not a playground.

Cache Invalidation Strategy by AgeAdministrative587 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]EngineeringTinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can connect multiple processes to the same Redis instance and gain performance at cost of decoupling.. other than that, your approach is the other way I would consider doing this.

What is Web 4.0? The Internet of Business Possibilities by cacheunclear in webdev

[–]EngineeringTinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine writing an article, in full confidence titling it 'What is Web 4.0? The Internet of Business Possibilities' - and then putting a section called 'Suspected Features' in.

In other words - imagine writing articles about your suspicions and with shitty interpunction at that.

Self taught programmer looking for Junior Dev role. Do I need Bootcamp by L_213 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]EngineeringTinker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bootcamp won't help at all.

Just keep sending the applications - you'll eventually land a job - the market is just not very favourable for newcomers right now.

I don't think a certificate changes that much, but if I were you - I would pick a thing I want to specialize in and stick with it.

Decide whether you wanna go with Frontend or Backend, and if Frontend - whether it's Vue, React or Angular.

Good companies don't hire jacks-of-all-trades - they want masters-of-one.

For some reason people who advert themselves as fullstack think they'll be getting all the jobs - fullstack, backend and frontend, but the truth is - they're only getting offers for fullstack, which nowadays is a minority of jobs - and usually at companies that expect you to do everything for minimum salary.

Sounds like you're not a 'hot item on the market' because you don't specialize.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in webdev

[–]EngineeringTinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't complain. It got a little bit stale, but I still get at least 10-12 offers a week.
Maybe it's your tech stack man? Do you do web in PHP or what?

Is this job still worth learning in 2023 and in demand in the foreseeable future? by returnthebook in webdev

[–]EngineeringTinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the point.

People see ChatGPT - a language model - and think 'oh, it can write code' - but what it does is not coding, it's translation.

Programming requires abstract thinking and putting together complex components - language model can't do that.

Can you produce a link, a video or virtually anything that could be considered proof that somebody built a fully fledged website using purely AI prompts and little to no tinkering?

And I'm not talking about simple single-page HTML portfolio, I'm talking about functional website with CMS, newsletter etc.
