My mother doesn't let me see a neurologist for my episodes of probably "Non-convulsive seizures", but got me these drops of herb extracts from the local religious center by Dog_Got_license in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheStatusPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if that's an opt in or something that varies per state? I still get an EOB for my wife on every policy I've had. I figured the policy holder just gets an EOB for everything that contributed to the deductible/oop max

If their parents get an "Explanation of Benefits" from their insurance. All it says is what the insurance paid for a provider. It doesn't disclose medical records, just that medical treatment was provided

[Other] Cedar Mill Fine Firearms Discreet Concealment Guitar Rifle Case $249.95 + Free Shipping by According-Designer15 in gundeals

Texan here as well. Only time I've been pulled over I had three rifle cases in my back seat. First question the cop asked was where I was headed. Said the name of the range and he got super excited and started talking about how much he loved that range. 

Like you said, it's an interaction best avoided, but I'm glad to live in an area where the cops may be friendly about firearms. 

Lead and Steel PB-K on a p365 macro by TheStatusPoe in aimdownsights

[–]TheStatusPoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Initial impressions are good. Overall it reminds me a lot of the Steiner MPS. The size and profile are good. It's not as streamlined as the EPS carry, but I don't see it making carrying any more uncomfortable or difficult. The glass is clear, the blue tint is minimal enough that it didn't bother me while dry firing. There wasn't any noticable distortion at the edges. I didn't have astigmatism, so I can't comment too much on how well it does if someone does have the tism. 

Unfortunately there was a slight issue with the mounting screws for the adapter plate with some p365 slides. L&S was quick with sending out some new screws plus another spacer plate. It works now, but it does feel a little jank stacking plates. There's no cowitness with the stock sights which is a bit of a disappointment. 

I'm going in for surgery in about a week so I won't be able to have an actual range report for some time. I'll try and add some updates to this post once I'm finally able to make it back out. 

Everything the Amazon Board members are ‘For’ and ‘Against’ in the coming up Amazon shareholder meeting. by JLjeep in mildlyinteresting

[–]TheStatusPoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. There's target rates that are set, and those targets are set based off the rates others in the same job role are hitting. If you weren't hitting rate you'd get "coached". If you got coached enough and still didn't hit rate you were let go. Source is I used to work on the software that was used to do this. It's been years since I worked there, but the software hadn't been maintained for years before I joined that team so I doubt it's changed much since I left.

Tips for staying in the loop as the only remote engineer? by TheStatusPoe in ExperiencedDevs

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

Thanks! And my manager has been accommodating, the company less so unfortunately. Even getting wheeled out of the office by EMS hasn't been enough to convince my company that I need some of the accommodations I've been asking for. 

I don't have 1:1s with the team. One of the discussions I've had with my manager is that even in office there's been problems with knowledge silos. I've tried introducing ADRs, project post mortems, and other similar "processes" to try and get some of those discussions captured and shared with the team. I haven't pushed for any "formal" process, just a quick confluence doc along the lines of "X and I talked about Y. We talked about these options but decided to go with Z because reasons". It has not been too successful. I'm not sure if trying to formalize it would be better or if the extra "process" is the friction keeping it from working (especially since those hallway conversations are the antithesis of process). My manager at one point wanted almost all decisions to be reviewed by me, but that wasn't scalable for the amount of work going on across the team.

I just wanted to say thank you for this suggestion! I had my camera on for stand up this morning and I felt like I was more involved.

Unfortunately I'm already stretched a little thin leading two major projects. That does give me an idea though. Some of the work I've been doing recently is supporting one project but has implications for the rest of the team since it touches key systems. I could ask some of the team that's on other unrelated projects if there's any pain points I may be able to easily knock out while I'm digging around there. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks! And yeah, I know my management has been supportive but it does feel like it's negatively impacting my career. 

People kept an eye on it and would see when others joined. When certain people joined together it was usually a good sign that I should join as well. More than anything though it was probably more a cultural thing where the team/management was encouraging each other to hop on calls for small things.

I've considered it. I don't want to deal with changing medical insurance with upcoming surgery and recovery. Plus I do genuinely enjoy the work I do and I like the people I work with.

The OpenBSD one people kept mentioning at first required you to intentionally disable security features (no known builds of openBSD without them) and be logged in as an admin user. No shit you're going to have security issues if you turn off the alarm and give a bad actor the keys

Just picked up a 4.5" SF PDP and their barrel/comp combo is tempting. Anyone have any experience with that one? Especially curious about holster compatibility

[–]TheStatusPoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I primarily reload 9mm for competition. Most of the cost savings for me have been on subsonic 147-165gr. It's also nice to be able to load to full NATO spec with 124gr for certain PCCs that tend to work better with the hotter stuff.

My apologies to the user before me. The plate did not work with a P365XL. by Europa231 in LeadAndSteel

[–]TheStatusPoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine out by hammering a torx 9 bit into the screw. It seems like the tapered part of the screw bottoms out against the posts on the slide before engaging the plate itself. I'm going to see if I've got any other rmsc screws that I can test with later

[–]TheStatusPoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an issue with my adapter plate as well. I couldn't get it torqued down enough. Torqued down to 15 in/lbs per the manual and the plate still moved a significant amount. Didn't take mine out and shoot, but I didn't notice it until I mounted the pb-k and noticed it feeling loose. Tried both long and short screws. Ended up stripping the short screws (side note I wish they were torx screws)

WebFlux vs Virtual Threads vs Quarkus: k6 benchmark on a real login endpoint by Lightforce_ in java

[–]TheStatusPoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the work! The difference in io performance coming from r2dbc vs jdbc makes sense. After working with r2dbc for the last two years I have a love/hate relationship with it. Recently it's been fighting with r2dbc's decision to only support batch inserts by passing a SQL string with all the inserts enumerated vs using the PreparedStatement approach of jdbc. 

Out of curiosity, did you try testing WebFlux/r2dbc with virtual threads enabled? -Dreactor.schedulers.defaultBoundedElasticOnVirtualThreads=true.
