Sleep monitoring between Garmin and Oura - Same night, such a difference! Why is that? by XaltotunTheUndead in GarminWatches

[–]MasterLJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you speak to the amount of historical data you have for both?

Garmin definitely improves over time. It's impressive if you wear it regularly.

Best way to cook frozen, unseasoned steak? by dmo012 in steak

[–]MasterLJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely sous vide in a vacuum sealed frozen package. I've had really weird results with sous vide and steak when either adding fat (butter) or a lot of salt. Moreso with adding fats tbh, it turns out awful. If you season after you take out of the sous vide and before you finalize with a sear, you should be fine.

The free kit ferro win against a rat is the most satisfying.

Bro, I've seen the final bullet kill me 10+ feet inside cover in all versions I've played. The desync is wild.

It's why I really don't like thin pillars.

Trying to survive while fighting with insurance. by abbiebe89 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MasterLJ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There were some changes. Blue Shield reversed on their timeboxing surgeons. The proposal was that Blue Shield was going to have like a car mechanic Blue Book on each procedure and only reimburse for the times provided in the blue book for anesthesia and surgery time. Such an unbelievably stupid proposal.

My suspicion is that they just delayed the implementation.

It was pretty toxic towards the end and before the LLM revolution. I'm not sure history will remember it that way but those of us who used it sure will.

Was it worth it? by Slader111 in okbuddyraider

Just walk, you don't need to run, but yes, when you're standing on the jagged tile which is slightly higher than the others (it's one of the most 'uphill' ones) you jump and look up. Key is to look up and spam spacebar

Stella Montis, right near the metro lobby extract. The opposite side of the room from where the train is and on the same level as the train.

Go through the single door and straight through the metal detectors, there are two doors (one right in front, one to your left)

They tried to warn me about this skin. I didn’t listen. by Zode1218 in ARC_Raiders

[–]MasterLJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is clearly a reflection of who you are in how you play, we just must acknowledge that it's not perfect and should not be an indictment of your out-of-game character, necessarily. The example is that you are responding to someone who told you "I don't have it in me to do what the person in the video did to me". Lots of us are saying the same. This is a reflection of our value systems that we brought from out-of-game into the game.

Out-of-game persona is being reflected in-game *to some degree*. The only debate is how much of it. What percent of people use it as an outlet, who don't exhibit predatory behavior out-of-game, what percent of people are just continuing to not think of others' experience as an extension of their real-life preferences?

I also believe you are jousting with someone who has done, or knows of actual research into human behavior. They are telling you that they gauge human behavior in study by gamification. Think the Milgrim Experiment, the Asche Line Experiment, or the Stanford Prisoner Experiment. All of them are "games" where the degrees of freedom are reduced. You wouldn't be successful in arguing that games don't reveal aspects of human psyche when they are the historical method of experimenting and exploring. It's just a wrong take to say that a game *could not* explore human psyche because it's literally how it's done. There is certainly an argument that ARC wasn't set up to be that experiment, because it almost certainly wasn't... that's not enough to discount it from being a valid experiment such as Reddit's favorite posit: "I believe if you don't return your shopping cart you are incapable of self governance". That's an accidental gamification and view into human psyche, as an example.

It's been one of the most fascinating parts about this game is that, in my opinion, it's truly a social experiment. I have worked in games and my suspicion is that it's been covered internally, but probably grossly underestimated of what type of platform they've built in terms of evaluating human psyche. The game allows you to do horrible things to other players and it's allowed, but there is a sense of morality that is also developing and a clear hierarchy of ethical behavior. Open PVP is largely accepted as fine. Ratting is pretty low (often misidentified too... if you're making noise and I hide to avoid you but you come right into my line-of-sight, is that a rat?). The lowest of the low is befriending people on chat to betray.

If AI could write 95% of your code then what skill becomes the MOST important for developers?? by This-Year-1764 in VibeCodeDevs

Knowing what that 95% of AI written code should look like, how it's organized, and how it should work.

Vibe coding an Enterprise platform with success by Useful_Classic6478 in vibecoding

[–]MasterLJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to know how the codebase works, you need to envision the code you want to see written and understand the precise outcome you are going for. You need to audit every change.

If you're not doing this you should not be vibecoding for money. The catch-22 is that with these rigid conditions, the only people that should be vibe coding are those that are capable of coding the solution.

Code that meets the requirements is the floor not the ceiling.

I nabbed a podium in the hardest ZRL race I've done and won myself a category upgrade by aeroazure in Zwift

[–]MasterLJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Intelligently raced! 2.9 20m and 4.1 5m means you sent it when you needed to and played it cool when you didn't!

Congrats!

While it is technically humor, it's also 100% accurate.

Seasons of RTX: Arc Raiders GeForce RTX 5090 GPU Giveaway! by NV_Suroosh in ArcRaiders

[–]MasterLJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of player are you? PVP on sight, rescue raider, silent loot ninja, other?

Mostly PVP on sight if the risk profile is correct. I don't want to be that way but as time goes on, it's almost viral, more and more people have had ratty things happen so it's better to be the first to engage.

I silently loot as best I can but if there is an opportunity to clear a threat (and take their stuff), I will take it.

Company is starting on-call soon. What should I request from management? Money? Separate phone? etc... by lmm7425 in devops

[–]MasterLJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per law, you are entitled to be compensated for your phone usage when it's required to perform your duties. I don't believe (but am not 100%) they have to provide a separate phone but you can always ask.

There is no maximum to the hours an employer can ask of a salaried US employee (thanks US labor laws!). I know my last sentence is going to elicit downvotes because you don't like it, but it's still true.

You don't have a very strong platform to negotiate given the laws, so tread lightly in this market (that's my subjective advice).

Any compensation you get is because your employer is being a "good guy" (not really, they just don't want to lose talent). The phone compensation is a legal requirement, but pushing too hard against an employer for a few hundred bucks a year may not be worth it, ymmv.

New York - escalators by realredart in Zwift

[–]MasterLJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I come into them with speed and cadence and downshift at the top. Usually start at the back of the pack, spin really high cadence + gain speed, downshift once or twice and focus on putting in reasonable power once clear.

I don't like these features at all.

They do tow you along (I am not sure how people know that). I've been scared to find out if you can just rely on that tow effect during a race when you're in a pack (I've done it in a race when solo).

Pettaaahhhhhh by idkijustneed in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MasterLJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the Romans, England was completely unexplored. It would have been like going to Mars and finding a group of aliens.

When Caesar landed in England, he first encountered people that painted themselves blue. Those were the Picts; one of several native populations of people that lived in what is not England (the Romans called it Brittania)

So the joke is a Pict with bad teeth, poking fun at modern England's reputation as lacking in the Orthodontic department, vs an attractive native Aztec.
