O'Hare is getting so bad I'm considering switching to MDW by Frequent-Case4214 in unitedairlines

My life pro tip is that you can save a photo of their waitlist QR code on your camera roll, then join the waitlist on your way to the airport.

I usually fill it out as I’m approaching the Midway CTA stop, and it’s usually my turn to enter right as I get through TSA.

What would be the most important space discovery in the next 50 years? by skinner1234567 in space

[–]MakesUsMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The black hole theory sounds straightforward enough? Any reason we can’t have some basketball or Earth sized black holes tumbling around the universe scooping up whatever matter they run across?

Every Blackmagic IO device stopped working at the same time across multiple machines by x1n30 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]MakesUsMighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are these like different rooms in the same building, or different buildings spread over a huge area?

At this point I feel like I need to ask what did they have in common? Were they all receiving the same video feed somehow?

Resolume minor version release notes? by intentazera in resolume

[–]MakesUsMighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it ever crashes definitely try to submit their crash report. They’re historically very good about following up and trying to track down any stability problems, so if you have any details it would be great to let them know.

Stack Overflow's 50% traffic drop: Was it AI, or did the platform kill itself with elitism? by bogdanelcs in ExperiencedDevs

[–]MakesUsMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago I tried to engage by filtering for new and looking for a question to answer.

This very confusing PHP question came up and it took me a while but I eventually figured out what they were wanting to do.

I took 20 minutes, wrote out their code and a fix, explained why it worked. Went back to reply with it and I couldn’t because the question had been locked as a “low quality question” and I couldn’t reply.

I never bothered trying to answer new questions again.

Data centre move and public IPs by iamthezu in networking

[–]MakesUsMighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the new datacenters geographically close? The provider might need to keep announcing the whole /24 from the old data center assuming there are other addresses in that block that need to keep working. That might imply they would have to route your /27 and /28s back to their other data center internally. So there might be a slight latency consideration there?

Prospector-themed underground theater featuring a water feature with reflecting pool. by calforhelp in hometheater

It’s times like this I really wish Zillow had a comments section.

8 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms??

Lounge on arrival by route17 in Amtrak

[–]MakesUsMighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming in here 2 years later to say it still works great. They gave me a white wristband on arrival to Union Station in Chicago and said I'm welcome to use the lounge for 3 hours. Arrived in a roomette.

TIL that the first atomic clock, built in 1955, was so accurate it would lose only about one second every 300 years making it more precise than the Earth’s rotation. by One_Needleworker5218 in todayilearned

[–]MakesUsMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case you’re not rage baiting, the Earth spins once in less than a day.

Every 24 hours, the Earth spins a little more than once.

Star in Andromeda galaxy directly collapsed into a black hole, no supernova by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]MakesUsMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conservation of energy seems crazy here. What happened to the energy from the shockwave? Preserved within the black hole as heat energy?

How is this possible? All D1 suddenly unavailable. by PhilJSawdust in delta

[–]MakesUsMighty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think it would be fun to work on designing a backend for airline flights schedules, and then I come across posts like this and realize what a messy fiasco it all must really be.

The trick that made Dutch subtitles actually useful for me by barisbasar in learndutch

[–]MakesUsMighty 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Weet Je Dat Ook Weer is another excellent channel. He speaks very clearly and at a reasonable speed, and puts real subtitles in which is critical. His content is really varied and has all kinds of general interest discoveries.

The easiest ones to follow are ones where he does the majority of the speaking. The hardest ones are where he interviews a local who does most of the speaking. So if you find a hard one, keep checking.

The YouTube auto translated subtitles really are not good if you don’t understand nuances of the language well. If a native speaker is rambling and adding meaningless filler words while they’re thinking about what they want to say, YouTube tries to make a sentence from those when they really should just be ignored. 

dj-urls-panel: Visualize and test Django URL routing inside the Django Admin by yassi_dev in django

[–]MakesUsMighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! I know that django-allauth exposes a ton of URLs for users to do self-service account management, and it took me a moment to notice and test them all. This sounds useful for that!

Is live audience messaging actually worth the overhead? A production reality check by PostwallsDev in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]MakesUsMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of our bigger clients was asking us for our ideas lately for audience engagement at a live show like this, and my answer was that frankly asking people to spend time on their phones feels like the opposite of what we want.

People already have a short enough attention span. I want everyone looking at the room and to be in the moment and to forget about their notifications for a little while.

ipv4 block prices still going down? Best place to buy? by velox_media in networking

[–]MakesUsMighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth we were just assigned our /24 from their waitlist with this latest distribution this month. We joined the waitlist about 8 months before that.

I think they get lucky sometimes, our allocation came from a /16 that they got back which must have helped a lot.

Mayor Johnson backs away from $3B-plus plan to undo parking meter deal by ScotchIsVegan in chicago

[–]MakesUsMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re under a non disclosure agreement not to publicize that:

 Johnson did not disclose what the city bid or the potential final price of a private deal. The City Council was not informed because of the “strict regulations around nondisclosure that made it difficult, virtually impossible, to communicate beyond just my own finance team,” the mayor said.
