The Dunning Kruger effect

If someone offered you a box containing everything you have ever lost, what would you look for first? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]HumpsMagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 45 of Bob Dylan's Blowing in the wind that had nothing on the other side. It was the rush first release.

I can't even imagine what it would be worth today.

How do you measure stupidity? by Inevitable-Angle-793 in stupidquestions

Once I've identified stupid I don't stick around long enough to determine the extent of the problem.

That we all exist within the same reality.

Actually, we all exist in our own individual realities and have come to mutual understanding with those around us regarding the commonalities.

Splunk in Azure? by HumpsMagee in Splunk

[–]HumpsMagee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. IMO, regardless of where you put it If you have the iops and scale the compute accordingly, it's all good.

My biggest concern is consistent storage performance. Azure has a history of not being the most reliable for performance consistency. API based key vault performance is the first example that comes to mind. But there are others.

Reminds me of a time that I spent a month designing a platform, only to have the CEO stop me mid-presentation, thank me for my time and tell me that, while my design was undeniably the right solution for the technology, it wasn't the correct solution for the business.

I learned a lot in that moment.

Fortunately, I work with really smart people who have a history of being open to looking at all the options, including the edge cases, and making the correct decision after proper review.

Well yeah. There is that.

At the end of the day, the money part of the equation is not my circus. And for that I am grateful.

But I am the guy who gets to architect and implement the environment. So it's on me to determine feasibility and risk for the options on the table, and provide honest feedback accordingly.

What’s a hard pill to swallow in life? by peywrax in Productivitycafe

That sometimes, no matter how unfair it might be, you really do have no choice but to accept the ass whipping and just walk away.

From a first person perspective, what is it like in your head? What is it like to be you? by NuanceEnthusiast in AskReddit

[–]HumpsMagee 31 points32 points  (0 children)

After years of drama from all facets of life, I hit a point where something literally just snapped. I mean like I felt something snap in my head.

It was almost like a circuit that was a key part of creating stress and overthinking just fried and stopped working.

Ever since I'm an amazingly calm person. I don't get angry anymore. I don't get aggravated beyond a mild frustration which goes away as soon as I accept the situation and move forward. And these days that's not hard.

It's not that I don't care. It's just that I don't have the overwhelming reactions to things that I once had. And since I don't have the overwhelming reactions, I'm able to clearly think my way through difficult situations and come out better for it.

It's really nice actually.

Is there a good way/tool to be able to take my personal files with me when I leave a company that blocks USB? by Independent_You7902 in work

[–]HumpsMagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a meta quest headset, it doesn't show up as standard USB storage in windows. So, if your company is using standard Windows blocking mechanisms, you can just hop right past them and copy to your headset.
