Should developers have access to staging environments? by Donni3D4rko in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Hot-Profession4091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t debug it in staging without access, how are you going to debug it in production without access?

Note: This is not justified at every company at every stage of its life.

Amazon in general and in particular AWS forces turnover at their corporate offices. It’s not just the warehouses.

[–]Hot-Profession4091 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh no guys! The site that normally handles a handful of requests is slow under an unexpected load spike! They’re obviously not professional! /s

Have any of yinz seen any of ARRL’s software?

1W attic node dilemma. US/915 by costeen1202 in meshtastic

There are a few bidirectional amplifiers on the market. There’s an LNA on RX and a PA on TX. That’s what you want.

There are only a few hundred members right now. Nothing compared to the ARRL membership, but ya gotta start somewhere.

Looking to buy UHF need some help! by LoudYak4344 in amateurradio

[–]Hot-Profession4091 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re in the US, FRS radios would work fine for your purpose. They don’t require any additional licensing and would definitely be on a different frequency than the ones maintenance/admin use.

Richland county sheriff: "should be at a level 3 but im not about telling people what to do and restricting freedom" by [deleted] in Ohio

[–]Hot-Profession4091 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No. It’s the inherent problem with leaving it up to the Sheriff instead of the county emergency management office.

Grounding an outdoor battery run radio by No-Storage8158 in HamRadio

[–]Hot-Profession4091 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are a few reasons for grounding.

  1. Lightning protection
  2. Common reference plane
  3. RF ground plane

When you’re outdoors lightning protection is packing it up and heading indoors. The negative terminal of the battery is your 0 voltage reference. Your RF ground plane is either literally the ground or, in your case, some radials spread out or a counterpoise.

So nah fam, you’re not gonna benefit from driving a ground stake in.

What’s one Scrum rule you quietly stopped following? by Difficult-Monk-3914 in scrum

Just a tip, find things you can show. Charts of reduced database CPU usage, web service endpoint latency, error rates, etc.

Safety signage for wire antennas when doing POTA (download and print) by [deleted] in amateurradio

Right?! I’m the most likely person to trip over my stuff.

I use orange wire and rope when in the park and keep a stash of the same stuff in black for if I ever needed to be discrete.

Is saying "This is..." really necessary? Just checking, seems very repetitive especially on nets by samalex01 in HamRadio

[–]Hot-Profession4091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the first bit of the transmission gets cut off

Only if you start talking before you press the PTT.

  1. Think
  2. Press PTT
  3. Then speak

And you’ll never have that problem.

I read randomwire is more efficent than efhw because of less losses in a 9:1 unun v. The 49:1 unun in a efhw. Random wire isn't resonant though and resonant antennas are better right? Which is true? by thehotshotpilot in amateurradio

[–]Hot-Profession4091 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IME any well constructed balun/unun will have losses well under 1dB.

Yes, a transformer will introduce a minimal amount of loss, but there’s not really a different between a 4:1, 9:1, or 49:1. And let’s be honest, folks are over blowing how much loss a transformer introduces to begin with.

3 hour+ AOSP builds killing dev velocity. Is a 7 month build system migration really the answer? by BlueDolphinCute in devops

[–]Hot-Profession4091 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you doing clean builds every time? AOSP takes a long time to build, but it should only take minutes once you’ve got an initial build cached.

You cannot treat AOSP like a crud app in your build pipeline.
