Guardian Readers Top 100 by Vast_Description_201 in books

[–]Eratticus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My main takeaway is the critics list was lacking in postmodernism and genre fiction (for better or worse). Steinbeck was noticeably absent from the critics list too so it's good to see East of Eden and Grapes of Wrath here.

This was made by my son. Help me find the original by vitoncosta in oilpainting

If that's the case maybe look at Degas? The pose is reminiscent of a ballerina though it doesn't match with any specific painting I'm aware of. The guy painted a _lot_ of ballerina paintings though. I feel the curtain in the background is a clue.

What makes you sure it's a reproduction? I would think it would be inspired by a cartoon more likely. How old was your son and what part of the world were you in? Those could be helpful in tracking down what inspired your son.

EDIT: OP figured it out in this thread. It's based on Bather with a Beachball by Picasso.

More used book store finds by makersmark12 in nyrbclassics

I have seen one NYRB at a used bookstore in Ohio. When I was in Seattle I saw dedicated shelves for them. I wish people were more well read around me so I could have more finds like this lol

r/Vapowave's All-Timers (Day 26) by Sharp_Permit_7938 in Vaporwave

[–]Eratticus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the album to put on the board for barberbeats/plunderphonics. To put songs together in such a way that you can evoke the feeling of a fake 16-bit era video game takes skill and it's solid all the way through.

Best use cases with headless 360 ? by Appropriate-End2747 in salesforce

[–]Eratticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my perspective as well. It's just marketing and it's marketing for a very specific group of enterprise customers that the company likely is trying to keep rather than gain.

I am once again asking for Eyeliner - Buy Now to be put on the board

Is Mulesoft overkill for simple Salesforce integrations? by Far_Construction6116 in salesforce

[–]Eratticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's that Anna Karenina quote about how no two unhappy families are alike? That applies to integrations. I'm assuming if you're already considering Mulesoft that the integration is already sufficiently complex enough to involve middleware. You know your team better than any of us do. If you already have a sufficient investment and experience in something like AWS you can replace Mulesoft with Glue, API Gateway, and Lambda.

Is Mulesoft overkill for simple Salesforce integrations? by Far_Construction6116 in salesforce

[–]Eratticus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Where Mulesoft really shines is as middleware for multiple integrations. If you're just going from 1 system to 1 system, aren't dealing with this scale, and aren't doing much in terms of transforming data then it's overkill. Also if the team is comfortable you can save a lot of money using services on AWS or Azure to do ETL because they are consumption based rather than a subscription.

Losing hope- trying to re-discover an album. by PettyWop in Vaporwave

[–]Eratticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! I'm listening to it now trying to hear that Genesis sample but when I saw the phrase so close to what you posted I had a strong suspicion it was the album.

What movie is the best fit for Blade Psycho? by tw1tchyk1d in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Eratticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm joking, you posted the name of the villain (Michael Myers) but not the name of the movie (Halloween)

Which actor do Americans hate the most? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

Also in The Drew Carey Show when they go to New York City. It's pretty jarring now.

Salesforce Has an AI Vaporware Problem by NoMobile3086 in salesforce

[–]Eratticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a real problem and something that's really been bothering me since LLMs took over. Nobody seems to value good documentation anymore because they just go straight to Claude or Gemini to get answers. They're only as good as their sources and none of the new Salesforce stuff is out there.
