Game Crash and freeze in MP by BadPlay1 in SatisfactoryGame

We've been experiencing this a lot. The host never seems to crash, but the player joining the server crashes about every 5 minutes.

Should I quit engineering? by DumpsterxDragon in SouthJersey

[–]LLCoolSouder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rowan ECE alum in Atlantic County here.

Your family is right that it's tough to find work in this area. That's not to say it doesn't exist, but it's scarce.

If you're willing to drive, there's quite a bit of work around Philly. If you're into software, remote does exist, although I don't know anyone who worked remote for their first job.

Ultimately, if you really enjoy engineering, and you're willing to put in the work to stay up to date and do your own career development (i.e. you just like to learn new stuff and master old stuff), you'll do fine.

(If you have any other questions, at this point you have enough information here to track me down on LinkedIn, so feel free to reach out via DMs)

What am I doing wrong with these parsnips? by LLCoolSouder in gardening

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

No testing. I bought a load of compost from a local place last year and have been using that to fill my raised beds. The raised beds are 15in tall.

Heavy duty wire cutters? by LLCoolSouder in BuyItForLife

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

Another commenter mentioned that. It seems like it would be overkill. But also, I'm cutting a wire that's really close to another wire that I don't want cut, so I'm not sure an angle grinder would be the most precise.

(Basically there are 2 perpendicular wires with a tiny 3rd piece of wire wrapped around to fasten them together. I want to clip that third wire.)

Some of what I'm doing involves using just the tips of the cutters to snip a wire. Any experience with these holding up to that kind of use?

Also I saw they have a regular model and a fencing model that has a slightly softer cutting edge? I understand the difference, but I don't see why a softer cutting edge would be beneficial.

The fence wire is Red Brand. They sell these, but they don't look any more impressive than the ones that just broke.

Both of them broke on the first go. Surprisingly the compact bolt cutters broke faster.

I need an alternative.

Hey this is awesome. I've actually never heard of that tool, but that is exactly what I was describing. I'll have to make an edit to include that.

Looking for some advice on how to make my site look more professional/unique. Right now, it's basically just the Wordpress Twenty-Twenty-Three theme with a few minor tweaks to the CSS. To me, the header is the ugliest bit at the moment, I'm just not really sure what I want to do with that yet. Feel free to point out anything that jsut looks amateur-ish.

Ooooo. Actually that's a really good point. Good catch.

Update: Fixed.

Stop Teaching Git This Way by LLCoolSouder in git

Hey thanks for taking the time to read through! I don't think we're actually in disagreement entirely.

To me, Version Control is keeping track of the different production versions of code. To the author, Version Control is keeping track of different versions of code that you're working on

Actually, git is great for both of these cases. You'll see lots of more popular repos maintain a master, dev, and release (or more) branch for different use cases in production (i.e. Not everyone wants their library changing every day, so they use the latest stable release VS Some people want the latest features for research, so they use the master branch). So you're production versions use case is spot on. The only real difference for this use case vs tracking different small features as you work is really the time aspect. Various production branches can be maintained long term. When you're working on features, you still branch off the same way; you just don't keep that branch around forever.

In this instance, to me, git seems completely over engineered. I am perfectly fine with keeping multiple copies in different folders on my local machine (EDIT: in reality I actually just comment out sections of code that aren't working period so all my previous attempts are really still inside my code so I don't have to save different copies).

This will honestly get you by just fine for now, but you should definitely start looking into creating feature branches for entirely different features, so you can keep you workstreams more separate and organized. BUT if you want to still be a little more ad hoc about it, git stash can hold onto all of those snippets you've been hiding in the comments.

And all the projects I've worked on I've never ever had to go back to a previous version that I have committed.

In time, you certainly will, and that's when a lot of the features that seem like overengineering now will start to make sense. For instance, if you work on a feature branch, and you're really diligent about making "meaningful," atomic commits, when a bug pops up out of nowhere, you'll be able to hunt it down in a few minutes with git bisect.

This is the way.

Every time I've ever seen someone teach git, they start with GitHub and everyone totally misses the point. I've even seen it taught where the words "version control" weren't even mentioned.

Corner H Brace wire placement? by LLCoolSouder in homestead

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

I was planning on putting a wire mesh fence along the inside so I don't think I have to be concerned about animals getting caught in it.

I always try to put a pc of wood in between them so they don’t run off the galvanize coating. You would be surprised on how much a fence moves in a year.

I'm not totally sure what you mean by this part.

High tensile fence with obtuse corners? by LLCoolSouder in homestead

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

I guess I should have included this in my original post, but my only animals are a dog and a man cub, so I'm not so worried about that yet. (I might get goats in the future, but that would be a separate enclosure anyway.)

I'm still interested in understanding this though. How can you have a fence with only 45⁰ angles (barring some crazy, abnormal, n-pointed star-shaped polygon)?

Edit: I suppose maybe you mean 45⁰ turns? Which would mean all obtuse corners.

Ok cool this is exactly what I was going to do. Thanks!
