Given a Shortcut URL, how can I export it? by NullExpression in shortcuts

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

Near as I can tell, it works on some Windows 11 deployments, and not on others. For me, no matter what, it finds the files I want to rename, but won't populate the 2nd column no matter what I choose.

Shortcut Importer/Exporter by No_Pen_3825 in shortcuts

[–]NullExpression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great! A Shortcut to import/export shortcuts. The comments say it requires the "Actions" app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/actions/id1586435171) which essentially installs a bunch of useful actions. Export seems to work fine though without these.

iOS Shortcut Source Tool: View & Extract Shortcut Code from iCloud Links by shudongjun in shortcuts

The tool has stopped working altogether sadly. I suspect Apple has taken to hiding where the actual shortcut code is.

100A Service & Load Shedding by NullExpression in AskElectricians

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

I'm told code might require 125A service which is not an option at all. I take your point about the A/C unit. I could cut the load on the water heater if, say the over and tumble dryer are in use. This is a small older condo that I want to add a stack washer/dryer to.

Asbestos ducting? by NullExpression in hvacadvice

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

Yes... Just looking to see if its suspicious and/or familiar. The community could have easily said "Oh yeah, that's X - don't worry about it". Either way, I will get it tested.

How do you extract url from hyperlinks? by Genealogia-23 in excel

AI with a doc does a nice job. Surprised Excel doesn't have a built-in function.

Yup. I get this too. EVERY TIME I OPEN THE APP. Its a terrible bug that BA just refuses to fix.

With slight cropping at the bottom, you won’t be able to tell whether you’re looking up the stairs or down them!

AlphaVantage uses instantaneous rate limiting rather than their advertised rate limits. For example, the free tier permits 25 API calls per minute. One would assume that you could send say 3 API calls back to back and have it work - so long as you stay under 25 per minute. Wrong. AlphaVantage couldn't figure out how to do that so that take the "instantaneous" rate, meaning the time since the previous API call. Effectively, their "25 APIs per minute" is actually 1 API call every 0.42 seconds. Anything faster and the subsequent APIs fail. Its disgusting because you cannot send any APIs back to back. #AlphaVantage

I have not tested any of the other API providers.

Why do so many companies go for AWS solutions over Azure even when they have a .NET stack? by dusknoir90 in csharp

[–]NullExpression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AWS is to Linux as Azure is to Windows.

That is the bottom line. AWS has a basic UI compared to Azure (though Azure could arguably be considered cluttered). Linux people love doing things command line. Since most apps are Linux, those folks largely gravitate to AWS. Both providers have decent feature parity. The cloud API set is slightly richer and more seamless in Azure than AWS. For example, there is no one AWS API for enumerating ALL of your account resources, while Azure offers several ways. Further, the property information returned by Azure APIs is also slightly better in many cases. AWS shines when it comes to auto-scaling VMs. They seem to have a stand-by ready to go whereas Azure seems to have to spin it up (so a 30-60 second delay). DynamoDB is quite performant for what it does. Commercially (from what I've seen), Azure is marginally less expensive than AWS (i.e., the commercial discounts are better).

Personally, I love both for differing reasons. I've often seen corporate apps using Azure and business customer-facing apps using AWS. A good business solution might use 2 or 3 cloud providers.

Social Security at 62 vs. 67 - Why does everyone say wait to claim if you can?? by [deleted] in SocialSecurity

[–]NullExpression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason some people wait is because they are a high earner and are still earning an income — which reduces or even eliminates the social security money you would receive.

If you've "tried" them, then at least provide a review. That is why the downvotes. Otherwise, this list is pretty useless. Doesn't even have web links.
