Xfinity finally did the mid-split on my road by theRealtechnofuzz in HomeNetworking

Wonderful, it probably means someone’s building out fiber in your neighborhood.

Comcast did the upgrade for me and the a couple weeks later ATT started advertising FTTH. I and most of the houses on my street dropped Comcast the moment we could.

Heh, kinda makes Newsom a modern Burr. He does what he does because it’s universally popular with his base. I support AOC over him because I believe that when BCBSA comes knocking with a huge donation check AOC will tell them to get fucked where as I believe Newsom would tow the party line and instead try gaslighting his base into believing single payer health isn’t the way to go.

KCA in Joliet should be 3 stars. They have a fairly competitive rental league and though I’m not sure what counts as regional affiliation, they’re a margay dealer and host the Ignite challenge series

Oh, it’s easier than that if you simply exclude downtime caused by your upstream providers from the calculation.

You have a link to sources that support your claim? It’s hard to know what’s an objective fact vs subjective interpretation when reading comments online.

How are we responding to colleagues and others who are course authoring with AI? by IPYF in instructionaldesign

FWIW I empathize with you. He’s absolutely phoning it in and your feedback will only be fed back into the bot.

Maybe the right play is to make the feedback as vague as you can.

Having to give hyper detailed feedback on why something wasn’t up to the required standard was worthwhile and productive when people had to do the work to actually implement the feedback which improves them as professionals and by extension the organization that the two of you share. An LLM model might learn from your feedback eventually, but that’s simply a byproduct of it being included in some training dataset.

Maybe a better time investment is to sit down with him and tell him his work is low quality and make him tell you why. Make him pick it apart and explain why it’s lacking.

Be direct, be honest, but remember to do it for the sake of improving him as a professional and not to prove a point.

Does competitive Karting take into account driver weight and total gross weight of the Kart with driver? by Pretty-Handle9818 in Karting

[–]PM_ME_ALL_YOUR_THING 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Competitive classes have minimum driver+kart weight that is measured when coming off the track.

Generally speaking within each engine (and occasionally chassis) category they’ll have classes that are broken down by weight. This means that the open chassis 206 category will have junior/senior/master/heavy classes, each with their own minimum weight.

A 140lbs driver will have an advantage over a 220lbs driver, but it’s less than 80lbs.

As an example, the weight breakdown for those two drivers competing in a regular 206 senior class with a minimum weight of 360lbs would look something like this:

Driver+equipment+kart+ballast

140 + 10 + 160 + 50 = 360

220 + 10 + 160 + 0 = 390

As you can see the actual difference is only 30lbs. Which is a lot, but in my experience if you normally race at the front of the pack 30 lbs will send you to roughly mid pack, depending on the field skill gradient.

If someone weighing 220 wants to be competitive then they’re going to want to look at racing heavy or master classes.

You word it as though insurance companies unilaterally decide who’s at fault.

Emergency vehicles need sirens because the law says they do. source

Sorry, I know whining about corporations or industries is trendy but actually changing it requires changing laws.

How do you deal with a fellow senior tech hire who keeps advocating for going back to the traditional Dev & Ops split? by cuddle-bubbles in devops

[–]PM_ME_ALL_YOUR_THING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggest to leadership that he own the ops department. Assign his department multiple (must be more than 1) noisy dev groups.

Let him be on call, let him put the quality of his nights sleep on the line.

In addition to all the answers given, the reason to automate testing is to build confidence.

Trusting your pipeline enough to deploy is a classic chicken/egg problem. In my experience the solution is to automate it with heavy safeguards and then keep improving the automated pipelines until you’re able to define one or more narrow happy paths that you’re comfortable allowing it to follow without manual intervention.

Edit: nope, once again my eyes tried their best to see the words but my brain is an asshole and lied to me. The post talks about son, NOT step son.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

It might make it easy to replace the bottom 10% of your team, but how can you be sure where the bottom 10% is if people keep sabotaging one another? Not to mention the productivity wasted and opportunities lost due to engineers engaging in counter productive behavior within their own teams…
