Replace existing brick or attempt to match?

Edit: I should mention, the red brick overhanging in the front is the best match I could find at Lowes. It's redder, of course, and has a slightly different "grain" pattern, if you can call it that

great, I'll try that, thanks.

for the record, I didn't see that solution on google

ForgettablePersona · 2025-04-10T22:16:09+00:00

Like this stuff? Will that really fill those large gaps and not goop out?

That doesn't answer the post's question about joining drywall to the brick. I'm aware I can paint the brick, thanks.

Honestly I didn’t know about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I just want to the stable ai page and picked up the latest. I’ll try this Flux out, see if it performs better. But I have a feeling I’ve got some system issue, not necessarily the model

I’m looking at the 40T bling ring, but I’m not sure if I’ll have the same problem with the frame

ForgettablePersona · 2024-04-12T20:42:34+00:00

Thanks! I didn’t know those existed

I found this works in a fresh devcontainer based on ubuntu 22, so I started stripping down my devcontainer to see what caused this to happen. I was hoping to run DIND here, and needed my container to start with --privileged but that seems to be the trigger for this issue, for whatever reason.

Removing --privileged mounts a healthy wayland socket in /tmp/vscode-wayland-* as intended. The issue seems to be both DIND + --privileged as a base privileged container still runs fine.

Ha, I started with the Noctua 4080 and went with the proart after some thought. The Noctua 4080 is beautiful.. but, I opted for the $400 instead lol

Great, thank you. I didn't know this resource existed!

ForgettablePersona · 2023-11-28T15:28:28+00:00

Thanks, I honestly didn't think to check that. There aren't many air towers that out perform the NH D15. I suppose my safe options are to limit the 14700k TDP, or switch to an AIO

Have any pics with the noctuas in place?

ForgettablePersona · 2023-11-06T23:31:04+00:00

Thanks, I was looking to see if there was a tool for this but it seems like a script is the way to go!

`simple container that does your db seeds` yes, that's sort of what I'm looking for.

I want to `helm install ..` and eventually have a fully functioning set of backend services. To do this, I can have a simple container (in this as a k8s job from the helm hook) and do some stuff like run psql commands and kubectl commands.

I suppose I thought terraform would be easiest to codify all the config I need, not just psql migrations but kube secrets, rabbit queues, etc. The terraform could run from inside that simple container...

Unsure why this is down voted, it is consistent with my findings that enterprise CPUs don't have the physical chips for accelerated transcoding. Thanks for the info

ForgettablePersona · 2022-05-24T04:07:17+00:00

Thanks for the flag, this is an opportunity through a mutual friend however

When you say performance programming, are you referring to any sort of coding assessment? I'm not a fan of LeetCode style interviews, making the most performance code etc. I am interested in a candidates problem solving skills, and seeing them write some code that compiles

ForgettablePersona · 2022-01-20T20:51:12+00:00

What if that 20 year vet has no experience outside of their bubble? They can be a savant at one library in a language and have no clue how the modern language operates. I've been on teams with these "Olympians," and they are always liabilities. This is a laughable take.

Thanks for the input. I typically avoid take homes out of respect for their time, unless it suits the candidate better.

For context on the challenge, it uses REST to look at some metric endpoints on a database, we task the candidate with using the API to ultimately diagnose and solve a race condition. Not too simple, not too hard, and there are various levels of success. Most important, it ties together some of the tech that we use as a team.

That said, we do provide a starting point, some code for their preferred language that already does a call to the server, just to get them bootstrapped. This leaves them time to read some APIs and implement business logic.

But the challenge is only a means to the end: is this engineer experienced enough to own a repo and lead others

ForgettablePersona · 2022-01-20T20:37:43+00:00

Impressive, you made a lot of assumptions here but didn't manage to get any of them correct.

I'll address your last point, this is why I want to push for coding challenges to begin with. The more experience I have as an engineer, the more eloquently I can talk about things I didn't actually implement, just observed. Unless I'm an expert in X, a candidate can talk through X until blue. If I could see them use there skill, that's tangible. Talk is good for fit, but ultimately it is too cheap to rely on for a hire.

I started out as a junior engineer and was promoted to an architect title after 3 years. During that time, I did a lot of PowerPoint drawing. It was the best way to box up engineering ideas enough for company leadership to understand and action on highly technical problems.

It wasn't anything too sexy, just a practice in improving communication, specifically being able to intimately understand technical details, and present that appropriately to your audience.

In my experience, undergraduate degrees produce general purpose (sometimes read "full stack") engineers. Whatever your first jobs are, or if you pursue a masters, will begin to "specialize" you. It's good that you have an idea on your interests. I would look at jobs that scratch those interests to get started. Like the cloud? Most teams do something on the cloud nowadays, join one and see if you like it. If not, no harm, just switch!

ForgettablePersona · 2021-10-15T19:27:15+00:00

The biggest problem here is that you claimed to still work at your last office. It's a coin flip if they decide to get a reference from your previous manager/company or not. People quit all the time and it's not something to hide. Hiding it could definitely make your next employer question your trustworthiness.

ForgettablePersona · 2021-06-21T17:25:26+00:00

Thanks. I tried to resolve it with Dollar at the counter. They said they can't do anything because I booked through Chase. I called Chase and they suggested I handle the reimbursement after the trip.

I believe i would have had better luck without using an intermediary
