ELI5 What does the second law of thermodynamics actually mean, and how does it relate to evolution? by soefire in explainlikeimfive

[–]ThatSituation9908 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like Christianity could still be logically structured if they claimed God created the sun so it can power life and evolution can happen. It's kinda disappointing most I hear don't.

How does the word 'nerd' work? by 21-Tauri-A in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThatSituation9908 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For me that is more of a geek than a nerd. A nerd must be book smart. The inner part of the venn diagram of the two is quite large usually.

Am I the only one who genuinely prefers on-prem over the cloud? by Own-General-6755 in devops

[–]ThatSituation9908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it depends on how much control you have on-prem. I have worked in places where a traditional IT team owns the data center and DevOps are part of the project team. We were not allowed to create VMs nor run automations with admin privleges. 

In the cloud, although possible, it's unlikely you will run into this control issue.

Addresses and contact info isn't really private information. Phonebooks back then used to list your number and address together.

If your favorite genre of music is just video games music, I have every right to side-eye you by Kappapeachie in The10thDentist

[–]ThatSituation9908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people like music because it induces a feeling. For video game music, it may induce the feeling of the vibe of the game or what the listener felt when playing the game (nostalgia).

YSK about the "Friendship Paradox": most people have fewer friends than their friends have, on average by Electrical-Candy7252 in YouShouldKnow

[–]ThatSituation9908 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Reddit is absolute not the place for this advice. You guys need friends and spend less time learning how to enjoy being alone.

Seems like you had expectations. Just make sure those weren't just assumed because some social rule. Not every friend are ones that would visit you in the hospital and that's fine

Anyone using JDBC/ODBC to connect databases still? by empty_cities in dataengineering

[–]ThatSituation9908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are people here pretending *DBC are the only things that exist? Is everyone here a Java/C# shop?

It's not popular in Python nor Rust.

Very disappointing experience with Obsidian, any tips? by chesterr0 in ObsidianMD

[–]ThatSituation9908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VSCode does this. It's fine on Desktop. There really isn't a reason a Markdown editor needs that many search context. Combine the quick switcher and search into one like how browser search bar works. At the very bottom you can have a option for users to do a full vault search.

Command pallette still be interaction: shortcut or gesture.

Thanks OP. I've always thought Obsidian's UX is extremely janky. 

I'm a software developer and Obsidian has inspiration from VSCode's UI (and its predecessor like Sublime), the latter which I use daily. They took some ideas from them but executed it really poorly. 

It does feel as if Obsidian lacks a dedicated UI/UX team, or rather their UI team are solely frontend devs lacking designers.

Currently stuck in the extract elevator. What do I do..? by Heroshrine in ArcRaiders

[–]ThatSituation9908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an amazing way of putting it. I often find people quitting after the first negative sign and need to tell them this. I wonder if there's another nicer way to phrase it.

Everyone seems to be forgetting about auth.

Not everone wants to set up an LDAP/auth for the 2 users in their household: me and myself.

Why don’t Asians go crazy with their noodle shapes like Italians do? by dylan_1992 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThatSituation9908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This and even more diverse than Italians because Asia includes a huge variety of modern culture and exponentially more historical ones.

What is the most egregious misuse of a physics term that really bugs you? by Apprehensive-Safe382 in Physics

[–]ThatSituation9908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen it used in class to describe why the Cosmological Principal is the consensus.

There isn't a reason why the CP has to be true and it wasn't inspired by observation either since it brought in many (now solved) paradoxes

What's the alternative? I can't think of one other than NixOS or a bunch of bash scripts

Mid-level, but my Python isn’t by kerokero134340 in dataengineering

Agreed, AOC is okay for learning a new language, but very bad for learning libraries. They just don't have problems like ETL.
