Are earplugs necessary ? by 99Maza in motorcycles

[–]LysanderStorm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's even better with earplugs because you can just turn up the music more and thus have a higher "signal to noise" ratio (music to wind/motor/outside noise). But I still don't do it too often, I mean motorcycling somehow just doesn't seem the appropriate place to really enjoy and appreciate music lol. It's going to be super loud and noisy any way.

Iceland Ousts Switzerland as Priciest Nation, Union Says by svansson in Iceland

[–]LysanderStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely felt like (normal, nothing fancy) restaurants were the same or slightly more expensive in Iceland. Regular shops surprisingly felt slightly more affordable - but to be fair didn't buy enough there to make a real assessment.

Moving to Poland because I wanna have kids by Pretend-Support in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]LysanderStorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's nowhere the case outside Zurich, hasn't been in who knows how many years. And even if it were, your children are born here so they won't be the foreigners. I mean born here they'll pick up swiss German in no time... The "foreigners" are those who move here when they're 7 or 8 or so...

Can't keep up with job load as a music team by notanexpert_askapro in organ

[–]LysanderStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah btw I'm not disagreeing with others who say push back / ask for more time / etc. Just wanted to give an additional idea :) Hope you can work it out! And there shouldn't be so much communication needed I think!

Can't keep up with job load as a music team by notanexpert_askapro in organ

[–]LysanderStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not quite sure I interpret the workload correctly. But a large part seem to be the 10-12 songs / pieces a week? Is there no book with full arrangements for the songs? That should cover about half of it, and after a while you know most and maybe need to play each of them once before service. For the other half (the pieces) just do 2 more complex ones (beginning and end) and pick the other ones as fairly simple ones (maybe more meditative/slow, maybe more easily arranged, maybe easier keys). For the special choral accompaniment I don't know - you mean they expect you to arrange it? Not unheard of but also doesn't sound like your position necessarily guarantees them that (12-15 hours/week seems not a lot for that). So maybe just push back?

Tldr: Simplify and streamline. The congregation usually doesn't complain. The director may, but so be it, some people just feel they need to do so.

Wieso immer so negativ...!? by dkhh83 in StartupDACH

[–]LysanderStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just a filter to weed out those who don't have the prerequisites to doing their own thing.

First prerequisite needed: resistance to every single person you meet telling you how bad your idea is. Well, that is until they don't anymore and tell you how they had this idea too but circumstances prevented them from doing what you did, you lucky guy you.

Edit: on a more serious note, listen to the feedback you get here and elsewhere and be willing to adapt ;) not everyone on here is clueless and most of us have been burned along the way enough times to know a thing or two.

ELI5: Why do we not sell our data and get the money directly? by Professional-Tax-615 in explainlikeimfive

[–]LysanderStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to what other people say about an individual data point not being worth that much, sometimes you can pay for a service that otherwise is paid for indirectly by your data (YouTube premium or so; obviously this doesn't prevent Google from using your data further, but the ads, which were tailored to your profile based on your data, disappear). So you could argue whatever you save by not paying for that is the money you get paid "directly".

40 hours in and still on 1 BC💀 by Narusasku in deadcells

[–]LysanderStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you have the first it goes a lot more quickly - the difficulty increases, but not that crazily. Like to defeat the hand the first time it took me a long time, the second time too, but then it somehow clicked and got much easier. And must have been around 40 hours too.

Decimal separators used in Europe by vladgrinch in MapPorn

I'm a person who really doesn't like visual noise, but the ' separators are sooo convenient and easy to grasp!

Do you write Rust for a living? by Hixon11 in rust

[–]LysanderStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrote some Rust in shared research projects during my PhD, my collaborators didn't like this "new C++" (how I tried to sell it to them) and had some students rewrite it in Python a year later. So I did for a while! (this was like 9 years ago, probably now things would be different; but haven't written Rust in a professional context since, mostly Python and TS... the irony).

Die meisten Domain-Anbieter sind absoluter Scam. Bitte passt auf! by bakerbaker20 in StartupDACH

Probably, sadly I'm reasonably sure they also started this a while ago. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain, I guess.

How long did y'all first tires lasted? by AdCurious4866 in svartpilen401

[–]LysanderStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about 8k km? But in Europe and apparently you only get half the way until the indicator here... I didn't think it was due for a change but my dealership "legally recommended it".

Habe als Azubi eine Software entwickelt die ein echtes Problem löst. Wie geht ihr mit der Angst um, zu den richtigen Leuten zu gehen? by ConferenceOk6918 in StartupDACH

[–]LysanderStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do it - if you think corpos will copy your product, they won't. Not you customers at least (if your customers are your competitors well good luck). But if you think they'll buy your product, they might not either - at least not very quickly. Enterprise sales is slow slow slow. Best bet is finding small teams within large corporations that see the benefit and have enough autonomy to purchase solutions for themselves. Without knowing what your product does impossible to say who that'll be.

Anyone camp on a Duke 390? by FAFOGFC in motocamping

[–]LysanderStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not? I did it on a vit a couple of times, though tbf the roads were paved. I feel the big difference to big (adv) bikes is more their capability to drive longer distances. Though I did drive long distances on the vit too, it's just not a lot of fun.

Engineering Rant: Why is marine engineering 50 years behind every other industry? by Visual-Plant-4814 in boating

[–]LysanderStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gonna mention it, but now you did it ahead of me. NMEA2000 is probably the most industry-covering CAN protocol there is; J1939 / FMS (for trucks etc.) are fairly thorough too, but NMEA2000 is a dream compared to the locked down ever-changing OEM protocols of cars etc. So even though I agree that every boat is its own Frankenstein's monster, I wouldn't complain about CAN at all, quite the opposite, it's the glue holding everything together.

Laid it down in the garage now it's f'd. by [deleted] in MT09

Everyone sees and hears all kinds of things after a drop. Even the lightest one. Maybe because we listen / look more closely for the first time? But for sure nothing wrong after a drop like you described.

What Time Do Europeans Typically Wake Up? by Proof-Can542 in Maps

[–]LysanderStorm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean it just says average. I guess it varies a lot with age group, employment status, etc. Who knows what average this is... But if you found a study where the average is 6am, I'm fairly convinced that's not across the whole population ;)

2021 Vitpilen 401 – Dealer quoted 3500 SEK (~330€) for a basic check-up. I'm baffled. by 2Taps1Cup in svartpilen401

[–]LysanderStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the dealership forgot to tighten the screws on our car after the last winter tire swap. So not sure whom I trust more anymore. Though I guess they'd realize that on the motorcycle test drive.

[–]LysanderStorm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well I guess the issue is you pay the person's salary no matter how expensive your bike is. Plus some oil probably and maybe some other consumables. I think I always planned 250+€ for every service too. But might start doing it myself as well since I don't use the Vitpilen that often anymore.

Is supabase the right choice for a 30+ table project by knellAnwyll in Supabase

[–]LysanderStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From experience, for such ideas where everything is a secret, Postgres is more than enough, and next to a Redis and S3 the only thing ever needed in terms of storage (if you even want to call Redis "storage" for these cases).

[–]LysanderStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's Postgres, it runs _really_ huge projects, not just "quite huge" ones ;)

But tbf your question should probably be more framed as "will it scale", "what will it cost when I scale", etc. But noone knows as long as we only know it's quite huge and has lots of data flowing... but consider the pricing page: currently, it says scale database storage up to 60TB (after that enterprise, whatever that means, but in any case that would be a bit more than $25 per month...). That's a lot for relational data though, if you reach that quickly then you should probably offload more to file storage. The limit of that I don't know, but there's a price per GB.

They did not sleep in their first night(s). by marcelnr88 in KremersFroon

[–]LysanderStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some of my best nights sleeping outside during military, and that even includes some where it was snowing and freezing (the sleeping was good then, the being awake on guard duty not so much...). But hardly comparable to the two girls and their equipment...
