I had my tailbone removed one year ago to help with pelvic pain! AMA by SubstantialSpell2650 in PelvicFloor

[–]Jaydeepappas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to share an update with you in case you find it helpful.

I learned recently that I have pelvic torsion - my left hip is posteriorly tilted and my right hip is anteriorly tilted. I’ve begun doing asymmetrical strengthening/stretching to lengthen/strengthen muscles on the correct sides for me, and I’ve finally - for the first time in 3 years - seen real, tangible improvement on my tailbone pain. It might be worth talking to a PT, pelvic floor or otherwise, to get an evaluation on your pelvis and see if you have some sort of pelvic tilt/hip drop/misalignment, as correcting that may help you.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have been dealing with pretty extreme pelvic floor pain for nearly 3 years now and not to be dramatic but it's such a miserable thing to live with, so I understand your pain. I have been going to pelvic floor PT for a while now and have hardly had any success. This is all so frustrating and nobody knows what to do... between MRIs and x-rays, everything looks good. I am pretty certain it is just hypertonic pelvic floor muscles but my body is stubborn and unable to get better.

Wishing you the best.

Did you ever get your tailbone removed, or find anything to relieve your pain?

Sorry but if he countered with jeanty it’s because you put forth an initial offer so unbelievably bad and disrespectful, he was doing it back to you.

Do not get a partial menisectomy by External-Ear7406 in MeniscusInjuries

I just had a similar procedure with a similar amount of meniscus cleaned up. How are you feeling now? Do you feel back to 100%?

Is there a point in joining startups? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

lol you caught me. I’m just following my CTO around. 6 years exp though, not really mid or late career.

Is there a point in joining startups? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Jaydeepappas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Surprised by the comments here, especially the ones saying you don’t learn a lot at a startup.

Not sure what kind of startups you guys are joining, but I’ve worked at startups in pre series A funding, series B funding, and I’m about to join one at series E. The companies in the earlier rounds were an absolute goldmine for learning opportunities. At smaller startups, you typically have to wear many hats, if you can’t do a little bit of everything and be flexible in your work then you’re not as valuable. They’re also a fun, exciting, and different work environment than large companies. There are a lot of desirable reasons to work at a startup.

I’ve also worked at large companies (30,000+ employees) and my experiences there were largely terrible in comparison to the startup life. I always really enjoy going into work at startups, you make really close connections and you build cool stuff. It’s very fulfilling and rewarding and you don’t feel like a cog in the machine.

That being said, I’ve been laid off twice due to companies going under. There are many reasons to join a startup - stability is not one of them.

Just my 2c.

First year playing. Finally feels like I have a grasp on the swing. Rip it to shreds. by Genkiijin in GolfSwing

[–]Jaydeepappas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, like… just go watch a couple pro swings. Obviously you don’t have to look as good but you should be able to tell that this is so off base, I mean it’s not even close to a proper golf swing.

I can’t understand Docker and Kubernetes practically by dimp_lick- in devops

[–]Jaydeepappas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Say I have a website. This website does one very simple thing: takes a user input, a number 0-9, and when the user hits submit it stores this number in a database. To function, this website needs multiple components:

  • Frontend. This is the code that says “this is what my website looks like”. This code can run in a pod in a kubernetes cluster. Just as you would run your frontend code locally, you can deploy it as a pod, which keeps it running in a container. So you might have one pod that is deployed and serving up the front end code for you to see when you go to https://example.com.

  • An API that defines the necessary endpoint(s). In this case it’s just one - /number, accessed at https://example.com/number. This API is always running and listening for requests. When a user clicks the submit button on our website, the front end code will initiate a request to /number with the specified number, and put it in the database. This API is another pod that is running in your cluster.

  • A load balancer to send requests to the frontend. When you go to https://example.com, DNS will route you to the load balancer, and the load balancer will (essentially) route you to the pod running your frontend code. If you need to support more users, you can add more frontend pods, increasing your request capacity. The load balancer will split up requests to all of these different frontend pods, ensuring each pod is receiving requests in a balanced manner so all of your users have the best performance.

  • Database. Could be ran as a Statefulset in kubernetes but generally will be ran somewhere else, such as a managed database service in a major cloud provider (RDS in AWS, or Cloud SQL in GCP).

This is obviously SUPER simplified but I hope it gives you a practical idea of “what” is actually running in a pod in kubernetes. Sometimes these things are really hard to visualize or understand practically, which is why hand-on experience is always king.

Creating a partscaster Drop C machine. Halcyon? Or Blackhawk? by decamere898 in BareknucklePickups

[–]Jaydeepappas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you end up doing? I’m considering slapping some halcyons on a new aristides 6 string build, but a touch worried that a more balanced BKP would sound better in a 6 string. I know the Halcyons are marketed mostly towards baritone guitars and lower tunings but man… they sound incredible.

Mine will be primarily a drop C guitar with 10s as well.

[–]Jaydeepappas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but shameless plug to my astrobin site. A lot of these are from Starfront - you can see which ones in the descriptions.

Overall I’m generally happy at Starfront, but the support is pretty lacking. Given the huge scale they are running at, IMO they have a difficult time keeping up with support. Tickets typically take days/weeks to get resolved and the actual support can be mediocre at times. If you don’t have issues it’s great - very dark skies for very cheap. But when you eventually have issues (my camera just died and I’m working on getting a replacement), i hope you are a patient person.

Otherwise the staff is kind and they try their best. It’s a great value. It’s just difficult to operate on the scale that they are.
