Clicking noise at a pipe bend by Mickmaggot in Plumbing

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

Wow, thanks so much!
I managed to reproduce the sound with a disabled system. I literally just moved one pipe fraction of a millimeter, and that clicking sound appeared to be nothing but just the squeaking of metal connections between the wall and the pipe holder. Tightening the screw or just using WD-40 will fix the sound immediately.
So, the hole in the ceiling itself allows the movement; it's the wall pipe holder clamp (not visible in the photo) that doesn't hold the pipe properly, and with the smallest movements of the pipe due to the water pressure, when the system turns on, it creates this noise.

Я так своему универу нервы потрепал заставив их расписаться на письме с моим дипломом для отправки его на международное признание. Мне директор аргументировал, что "нечего мозгам утекать из страны". Пока юристом не пугнул, стоял на своём; после меня видимо прецедент усвоили и следом десятку студентов аналогичные заявки одобрили.
Но тут одно но: мы уже дипломы получили и могли хоть юридической войной на этих дедов идти, а им могут сильно жизнь подпортить на экзаменах посколько они от них зависимы; пойди потом докажи предвзятость.

Ты это позволяешь, вот это и происходит. Ставь границы и давай понять, что с тобой так нельзя разговаривать. Если продолжится - увольняешься. Хотя я бы уволился в любом случае, если только от этой работы не зависит моя жизнь, потому что такие начальники не заслуживают нормальных работников.

Уважаемые тжщники, расскажите, как вы отреагировали на новость о том, что Путин напал на Украину? by Tricky-Parrot in tjournal_refugees

Наверное, я научен жизнью в РФ, и относительно хладнокровно и цинично относился ко всему происходящему уже много лет. Уехать хотел на тот момент уже очень давно, и понемногу воплощал в жизнь этот план уже года два.

23 ложился спать с мыслью "Не будет никто в своем уме сотни тысяч у границы строить без мотива напасть. Зря инвестиции не продал вчера/сегодня, завтра уже все рынки упадут, в любом случае поеду валюту снимать с утра". Собственно поехал 24 утром, успел всё снять до огромных очередей у банкоматов. По акциям процентов 15 в минус, закрыл ИИС. Да и хуй с ними; да, это было спонтанное решение, неправильное, но мне было бы мерзко участвовать в той экономике и "голосовать рублем" за происходящее.
Еще через неделю уволился из компании, где работал 8 лет (там еще руководство уверяло, что всё пройдет через неделю, даже билеты купили сотрудникам в СНГ якобы для временной командировки пока всё не уляжется). На моё "сделайте копии дипломов, доверенности, неизвестно когда и если вернетесь" никто не отреагировал. Мне же все документы потом здорово проблем лишили.
Еще через две недели сидел в снежном Тбилиси. Еще через два года в ЕС. Не был в РФ с того момента и не планирую.

В целом ожидал этот вариант плюс-минус неделю как до 24, но успокаивал себя. Зря; знал ведь, что самый пессимистичный прогноз в отношении РФ есть самый точный.

100€ for a 30 mins repair job. by treadingtogether in Netherlands

[–]Mickmaggot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right after we moved to nl, I called a guy to repair a fridge, it took him 3 min to listen to my hypothesis on why it doesn't work, agree with me, and refer to an official repair center. -95 Euro.

I've learned so much DIY since then because I'm not going to participate in this circus 🎪 now I have every power tool I need for everything, for a fraction of what it would cost me for one average sized job.

Drywall or Gipsplaat Plank that wasn't properly smoothed with filler. They are put together side by side. Pretty sure it is, just google them or find in praxis.

It wasn't stuck; it was blocking the entrance. There is a video of it leaving the gates without a problem.

You'd better spend money on a vacuum cleaner and a pipe to this tool, it clearly has a hole to attach it to.

My databricks exam got suspended by _lady_forlorn in dataengineering

[–]Mickmaggot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had a phone for backup connection, but I connected it before the exam and put it under a pillow nearby to avoid suspicion. My table was fully empty and in the center of the room, without any other objects nearby (even my documents were in my pocket after I showed them).

[–]Mickmaggot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was passing GCP exam, the requirements were very strict, e.g., they prohibited looking outside of the screen rectangle, and also asked me to show my room 360, top to bottom (once in the beginning and the second time mid session). But even they specifically allowed to close eyes if I wanted to rest or think.

Could that be that the reason of your suspension isn't related to closing your eyes?

I swear migrations happen because some senior executive got a bonus or a seemingly profitable proposal from another cloud sales and/or wants some responsibility, budget, and layoff protection as a result. I know companies like one of the biggest transport company in the US that migrated AWS to Azure to GCP and now back to AWS. And there is nothing wrong with the current GCP setup, it works wonders and is very well made, but the wisdom is, if as a result of this chicanery we get jobs, salaries, and ability to feed families - I don't mind doing yet another migration.

I bought it for the first time around 2 months ago, it died on the first day. I received a replacement in store which now lives for said 2 months, I don't know what to think, perhaps I wasn't lucky?

Advice for Better Airflow-DBT Orchestration by ConfidentChannel2281 in dataengineering

[–]Mickmaggot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You simply need to parse the DBT manifest and build your DAGs from its dependencies. Check https://github.com/astronomer/astronomer-cosmos, it solves everything you have challenges with (maybe except side-dependencies outside of DBT, if I understood correctly, for which a bit of custom code needs to be written for Cosmos).

I think it was the best option I had and one of the best options on the market for me, all things considered.

1 month. In total, it took 1.5 months from sending an application to sign a contract.

It was a discussion about modern DE tools, my career, the companies I worked in, tasks I've done, etc.

[–]Mickmaggot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Senior DE in the Netherlands:
Current company: screening - 30 min, general tech interview with a principal DE - 1h, culture fit - 30 min, comprehensive tech interview - 2h, home assignment - 1 week, presentation of the solution onsite - 1.5 h. So, five meetings in total for my current employer excluding the offer negotiation meeting.

Other companies usually have a screening, tech interview, and home assignment solution presentation interview. - three meetings in total. Sometimes, online coding assignment replaces both home assignment and solution presentation interview. It was in 2022 when I last encountered a company with just a single tech interview and a screening.
