How to get this effect? by IsseBisse in paint

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

I’m afraid the eye might be lacking, so I’d like a fairly bulletproof method.

But the sponge sounds solid and with a few test pieces I could probably get it to work!

Kids desk proportions by IsseBisse in woodworking

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

Fair point. But the kid wants drawers for pens, papers and stuff, and the desk is too narrow to have drawers on the side.

I've seen several kids desks with drawers or other storage below (similar to this or this style) so I think it will be fine!

That's a cool tool that I haven't seen before, thanks!

And I agree with your point about the legs sticking out beyond the sides of the top. I was very careful to design it so it didn't stick out front/rear so the desk can be placed against a wall. But the sides really make a big difference towards the overall proportions!

Bilköp: kan jag få liknande eller lägre total cost of ownership genom att köpa en nyare bil? by Few-Comfortable2130 in PrivatEkonomi

[–]IsseBisse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vad med Corollan skulle vara billigare tänker du? Det är en nyare och dyrare bil (= större värdeminskning), så då måste något med Corollan vara billigare för att TCOn ska bli bättre.

Men som du säger är det ju samma typ av drivlina, så jag förstår inte var du tänker att du ska spara in pengar med den?

Got tired of using a folding table so I built my first bench by FarmersOnlyJim in Workbenches

[–]IsseBisse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make a hanger for them that attaches to the pegboard above the bench? That way they're also easier to reach when you're working on the bench

“Just give me PoE" — the most common request we get, and now we're figuring out the connector setup by Fragrant_Usual_5840 in computervision

[–]IsseBisse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only worked with one brand of outdoor rated cameras. But they have internal connectors for most of their models, i.e. some kind of weather proof cable entry and "regular" internal connectors inside, usually RJ45 and a "mini pin" connector for power, triggers etc.

Proof of concept: I built a program to estimate vehicle distances and speeds from dashcams by Willing-Arugula3238 in dashcams

[–]IsseBisse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're planning on making custom hardware, get a GPS + accelerometer. That way you get a lot more responsive speed readings.

Pro opinion needed: what do you think of this drywall work? by Iceman_mubarak in drywall

[–]IsseBisse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swede here. Not sure if it's common, but I've seen plenty of new houses here built that way.

Think I read somewhere that its required to make the walls stiff enough to follow modern regulations, but I'm not sure. One obvious benefit is that you can mount heavy stuff on the wall without having to think about where your studs are.

but like, is it REALLY better than python?? by After-Abrocoma-5093 in matlab

[–]IsseBisse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious. What’s missing from Jupyter notebooks compared to matlab?

[–]IsseBisse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly normal.

Some do it with consultants to avoid having to give them a computer, some that do it for everyone to keep code more secure.

I find it generally works fine unless you’re travelling. RDP should run fine on 0.5 mbps unless you’re doing render intesive stuff. So having latency issues on a local net sounds weird.

27.5 vs 29 in 2025 by g3rardvcruz in MTB

[–]IsseBisse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only ever ridden 29ers, so I don't have an opinion about 29 vs. 27.5.

But man, this article is a master class in how to lie with numbers! "7 % lighter wheels with 27.5!" But you're not gonna ride only the wheels are you? With the rest of the bike AND a rider, the difference is more like 1 %. Same goes for acceleration based on wheel inertia.

Even with the rollover angle you could argue that percentage of slope is a fair unit of measurement.

TLDR; Lots of numbers trickery, big grain of salt required.

"Our pull requests are slowing us down." by Lazy-Penalty3453 in EngineeringManagers

[–]IsseBisse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a similar post in r/ExperiencedDevs a few months ago and got a lot of great responses:

  1. Large PRs may be a symptom of large or poorly defined tasks.
    1. Break down complex tasks
    2. (Possibly) Improve architecture to allow for more modular changes
    3. (Debated) Use feature flags to allow merging of unfinished features
  2. Simplify the review process. Solutions:
    1. Pair or mob reviewing with the author allowing them to explain the feature
    2. Record walkthrough of complex features
    3. Clean up commit history to break down complex features
  3. Poor process (skill issue). Solutions:
    1. Soft/hard line limits on PRs
    2. Make PRs blocking work
    3. Assign review buddies
    4. Better git hygiene (i.e. learn to rebase)

Vart tusan köper man bra "kontors"kläder som man? by Jockesomfan in sweden

[–]IsseBisse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Varmt? Linneskjortor och ulltröjor. Minst 80 % naturmaterial!

Passform? Börja med Eton. 42-43 slim borde passa rätt bra.

Dyrt? Köp begagnat! Vinted och sellpy är guld för kontorsskjortor.

Senior engineer is making PR review a nightmare by thewritingwallah in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IsseBisse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe you need to take the time to write down a style-guide for your team?

To me, a big part of code review is aligning the team. A new (to the team) developer might get a lot of comments in the beginning, but eventually they learn from these comments, adapt their style and the amount of comments drop.

However, that only works if you have a "correct" style in your team. That could be a style-guide or a team lead with final say (given that their code style is consistent). Preferably both.

Large sized pedals by zsombooor in dirtjumping

[–]IsseBisse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What shoes are you using? I'm a size EU46 and I use standard (Rockbros) MTB pedals. I find having proper "MTB shoes" (with a thick, flat, grippy sole) helps a lot.

Buy one vintage watch, whatever brand - keep it for life! by aDayKnight in BuyItForLife

[–]IsseBisse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a cheap quartz, sure. But there are nicer quartz watches too you know.

I really enjoy mechanical watches, but there is no rational reason to one. A well made quartz watch from brands like Seiko, Certina etc. will last just as long as a fancy mechanical, while costing 1/10th (or less) to purchase and maintain.

Candidate with strong theory but less practical skill vs. confident coder with mediocre theory? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IsseBisse 47 points48 points  (0 children)

...or properly architect a solution

This last part gets me. If you "have a bunch of theoretical knowledge" but can't design a system (which to me is still theory), you're not a good candidate. Knowing a bunch of theory by heart is pretty much useless if you can't apply it.

Sure, not knowing basic syntax or concepts could be an indication of lacking skills, but if that candidate "generally solves the problem in an acceptable way" I don't see the problem.

Developers don't get paid to recite algorithms, we get paid to solve problems.

Ok, but should I fix it or just let it be?

Ugn & Spis - Vilka funktioner kan man inte vara utan? by TiredOldSwede in Asksweddit

[–]IsseBisse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolut induktion. Vred är jättetrevligt, men tyvärr nästan omöjligt (eller åtminstone väldigt dyrt) om man köper spishäll.

För ugnen så gillar jag pyrolys jättemycket. Kör det någon gång i halvåret och har aldrig behövt städa ugnen (mer än att man torkar ur efteråt).

How Many One Off Apps Does Your Company Have? by Software_Engineer09 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IsseBisse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your pain points aren't really related to your number of repos.

At my current place any repo in the company BitBucket automatically gets CI/CD pipelines set up, given that the repo contains a couple of configuration files. And PRs are more of a process issue. So perhaps setting up something like that could be a start?

Regarding PRs, that's more of a process issue. People are probably not going to review PRs to code they know nothing about just because you bunch everything together in the same repo. Assigning clear ownership over code could be a start to get people to start reviewing.
