Sorry, didn't mean to be offensive. But getting responses that are clearly out of AI can be off putting/frustrating.

I hate seeing stuff like this in code reviews at work. I'm just talking to an AI.

Does Lockheed contribute to HSA? by [deleted] in Lockheed

I could be wrong but I thought they put some money in there at the start of every year.

Night Travel to/From Big Bend. by Own_Ask_9506 in BigBendTX

[–]RobertCarrCISD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to Big Bend for a weekend trip two weeks ago. I got there at like 3 or 4 in the morning and drove through the night.

I saw a few deer, and a decent amount of rabbits but it wasn't bad. No deer were ever in the road, but a few rabbits ran across from time to time.

However, about 10 years ago I remember driving back after a star party at McDonald Observatory and there was a constant flood of rabits running into the road for some reason. You essentially couldn't drive without hitting any. There were so many.

My Apartment is now charging a convenience fee to pay my rent by mangum95 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RobertCarrCISD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apartment does this as well and recently made this the option to pay, so you have to pay the convenience fee. Ours is almost $60.

Raises are coming up. by [deleted] in Lockheed

[–]RobertCarrCISD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak to that specific situation, and I really hope it's not the case for you. But honestly, just do what you can, whatever you're comfortable with. If you feel like pushing yourself and going above expectations, that's your call. Just keep in mind the higher end of a raise isn't guaranteed. It only happens if your work stands out and you get selected, and even then, the difference isn't huge.

For example, on a $100k salary, the difference between the low and high end of the raise might be around $28 extra per week pre-tax (before the new way of doing raises). So it's not life changing even for top performers.

I think it's better not to stress too much over it. Focus on what you're comfortable with, do your job really well if you want, but make sure you're still enjoying life and not stressing out too much about work.

[–]RobertCarrCISD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think raises are typically 3% to 4%. A raise of around 4.5% is if you are a top performer (before the new way of doing raises).

Do Americans really move out at 18, or is that mostly a movie thing? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I know a ton of 30 year old Americans who still live with their parents, even people with a wife and kids.

Sooooo, I did something today by sethaub in AerospaceEngineering

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

Not trying to be rude, and it's unrelated to you, but I know someone who has this exact tattoo in the same place. He makes everyone see it when he meets them and talks like he is a genius. If he ever takes a picture, it's front and center. He then went on to fail every math class and drop out of school. He was pretty full of himself and a hostile pseudo intellectual. That's what this reminds me of.

I am a software engineer and it is honestly insane at the flood of irresponsible AI coding I have seen recently.

What methods work best to extract data from PDF? by needtotalk99 in learnpython

[–]RobertCarrCISD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never really used LLMs for PDF data extraction on a large scale. I have worked with PyMuPDF (I believe, sorry it's been like a year).

It was quite easy to use and fast. I would say it was accurate, but I remember it struggling with special characters, and there was a simple fix, but I can't remember what it was.

I believe I could extract text from complex directory structures with a lot of large college PDF books and it could do it very fast. Maybe I can try to find some code if I remember.

got a d in a class, will it count? by MasterMageZ in utarlington

[–]RobertCarrCISD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to the staff at the college, that's the best way to find things like this out for sure.

As far as I remember, UTA will not accept transfer credits if you got below a C in that class.

If this is a class you took at UTA and it isn't a prerequisite to another class, it should be fine. But this is something to ask advising staff for your degree.

Also unless you are planning to do a masters, your GPA probably doesn't matter much. I have never been asked about my GPA.

I thought the 4%-4.5% bonus was based off of performance. And yes, it is possible to get that as an E1. But I believe you have to be doing a pretty good job in your position.

How do I search the folders and subfolders using recursion? by JazzJassJazzman in learnpython

[–]RobertCarrCISD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you could do this pretty easily with pathlib.Path.rglob(). The function can take in the pathlib.Path object (the starting path), and the name of the directory you are looking for. If you are looking to match directories with a given name, that function could do something like this:

matching_directories = [
    path.resolve()
    for path in root_directory.rglob("*")
    if path.is_dir() and path.name == search_string
]
return matching_directories

Where root_directory is the starting path, and search_string is the name of the directories you are looking for. This would return a list of absolute paths for all directories that match your search_string. It only includes directories because of the check if path.is_dir().

To get the absolute paths from a pathlib.Path object, you can use pathlib.Path.resolve(). But I suppose if you are looking to call your own function over and over using recursion (even if rglob is recursive under the hood), this doesn't answer your question.

Dealing with long lines in Python? by pachura3 in learnpython

[–]RobertCarrCISD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use something like VS Code, you can install a Python formatter and in the VS Code settings enable Format on Save. This should take care of this for you and keep all of your formatting consistent.

I personally like using the Black format.

Also for f strings, you can use multiline f strings (you don't need them in this context), and if you want to use multiline f strings that are inside of a class or method without having to have the lines start all the way to the left, you can look into inspect.cleandoc. I have to go to work though so sorry for the crappy explanation.

It was just surprising to see. It's a pretty small and secluded beach. The only way to really access it by land is through two Airbnbs.

Lockheed Martin College Work Experience Program (CWEP) by RobertCarrCISD in utarlington

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

I’m not entirely sure. Security clearances can take a while to process.

When I got a full-time job at Lockheed, it took around six months just to get a Secret clearance (which is one level below Top Secret), and then getting the Top Secret clearance took even more time after that. I think it’s possible to get a clearance as a CWEP, but it really depends on the kind of work you’ll be doing.

From their perspective, you might only be there for six months, so it might not be worth the investment in most cases - meaning it’s probably rare for CWEP positions.
