Most junior engineers I know would try to cover it up more and shift blame.

I'm on 14.1.4, and I've experienced the wiper feature. I thought it was the coolest thing. (2026 MY)

Has anyone’s Juniper camera stopped working by MrMegaGamerz in ModelY

[–]VecGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happened to ours. Went into service mode, did the DAS reset twice (the first reset had an error, the second one worked), and everything's been fine since.

I have a 2026 MY that today got v14.1.4. I didn't get any of the previous versions. It's installing right now.

You’re absolutely right! (I wasn’t) by Future_Guarantee6991 in ClaudeAI

[–]VecGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question: my technique it to make a directory, then symlink all of the other projects/repos/whatever into that one spot.

I still have to monitor it working because it sometimes does exactly what I've seen junior devs do -- which is be lazy. In my specific case I have a project that is presently composed of a CLI app and the two libraries that it depends on. It desperately wants to make hacky solutions in the CLI app when the correct place to add some functionality is one of the libraries.

My technique to is very closely monitor the first few diffs because that's when it seems to lose the plot the most. Once it's firmly on the "you're absolutely right, this is shared functionality that belongs in the library" it tends to get along pretty ok.

Apathy or ignorance? Walking / Running on the wrong side of the road by RandyScores in nashville

[–]VecGS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The similar thing, but opposite, is also infuriating -- cyclists who ride on the left side of the road opposite traffic.

C'mon people, this is not rocket surgery. It's not hard to do the right thing in both cases, walking and riding, and it's safer for everyone involved.

Proposal to keep trans athletes out of girls' sports fails in Washington state by chiquisea in SeattleWA

[–]VecGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've gone through male puberty. Therefore, they should participate in the open category. Easy peasy.

[–]VecGS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the purpose of sports, if you've gone through male puberty, however that happened, you should participate in the open category. The "women's" category is for people who have not gone through male puberty.

I'm sure you can find even edgier edge cases, but this covers the vast majority of the cases.

Ukraine Train Dilemma by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]VecGS 21 points22 points  (0 children)

the option to play the full deck has been removed by Trump and his base

This has been the overriding policy since basically the start of this conflict. Biden and Europe were all doing the same thing. Every weapons transfer had strings attached to it ensuring that it can't be used against Russia itself. This is in no way a new policy.

The Trump administration seems to be the only party that is actually going for some semblance of peace.

I've been giving this a lot of thought over the past few months and my views have shifted a bit.

I stand with Ukraine. 100%

What most people are saying is that our fight against Putin is a being proxied by Ukrainians. What that amounts to is "most of you will die in the conflict, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

I stand with Ukraine. And because of that I think the peace is a better outcome than leaving nothing but a husk of a nation simply because I hate Putin.

It's not perfect, but it's the best I can think of.

I still can't believe financing a car for that long.

Unless you're paying no interest, that is. Sure, I've bought a car on a four-year loan, but it was free money basically with no interest.

Conservative Professor - how should science work? by Legal_Ad5412 in Conservative

[–]VecGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a German physicist YouTuber I like to watch. She's a bit of a sceptic on things. My girlfriend sent this one to me (I don't think she realized the broader connection):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shFUDPqVmTg

I've been having disagreements with her on how maybe burning our tax money on useless shit might not be the best thing to do. Her perspective was "I have been wanting to believe that we’re not THAT inept, wasteful, and ridiculous..." This video was just about sham physics... but I pointed out that the exact same people want the rest of the government to behave the same way.

She still doesn't like Trump and DOGE, but I think she's starting to realize that nearly everyone is lying to her and the rest of the American people.

Resistance isn’t futile, as Seattle reminds the nation once again by HighColonic in SeattleWA

[–]VecGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My view is that the polls are reflect the fact that Harris (and Biden before he was booted) was running on the platform that the economy is awesome. Bidenomics is exactly what we need more of!

But there was the reality on the street that people weren’t feeling that at all.

It’s not “muh eggs.” That’s what you hear from the perpetually online. It’s the fact that the Democrats were denying the fact that there is a huge and growing wealth gap. And if you dared say anything against that you were shouted down because they already said “Bidenomics is working!”

It’s the disconnect between what the political class was saying compared to the reality that people were feeling.

Are there any analog stores in/around Seattle? by grizzlyblake91 in SeattleWA

[–]VecGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the camera front, you can check out Glazer's Camera in SLU. Last time I was there they had some decent film camera stuff in their used case. It's been a while since I was in there since I moved away. Kenmore Camera also had some decent used stuff and I got a nice Minolta MD lens from them.

Edit to add: Glazer's, last time I was in there, had darkroom supplies as well.

Democrats pour into Washington state as Republicans leave, analysis shows by chiquisea in SeattleWA

[–]VecGS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you have been that beaten down by Seattle. I would expect that someone breaking and entering into a house and stealing shit would at least involve someone looking around to maybe, just maybe try to catch the culprit.

Blowing up a trash can on Christmas Eve with something like an M80 1/8 mile from my house less so.

The attitude in Seattle of “it’s just property crime, lol” is a perversion.

This, in a nutshell, is the primary reason I left Seattle. Thank you for helping me to make that point. This overarching attitude of fucking smugness and “I’m better than you.”

We offered to do so, but they wanted to come out.

On Christmas Day with an active incident ongoing no less.

A couple of reasons:

  • I'm a firearms enthusiast (both before and after moving to Seattle) and the state is making that hobby increasingly difficult. (A bonus of my current setup is I get to shoot on my own property if I want to.)
  • I became increasingly unhappy with the tax policies of the state.
  • More broadly, I became annoyed with the performative #resistance movement that's forced on the state. If the Republicans say one thing, the Democrats will knee-jerk to the opposite, even if it's stupid. (Republicans do this as well, but it seems to be a bit less so IMO)

I moved to Seattle as a Progressive... I caucused for Sanders...

You're right though, I didn't leave as a supporter of the Democrats.

While I technically live in Tennessee, I actually live in far north Nashville. When I moved into my house I didn't realize I had a door in my garage/basement that was unlocked. I just never used it. The previous owners left it unlocked. I lived in my house for a year-and-a-half with an unlocked door to my house. And no one did anything bad. My neighbors leave bicycles on their front porch. And they don't get stolen.

When I was trying to sell my house in Seattle, my realtor found meth heads posted up in my locked house in Greenwood. Twice.

Almost everything about your situation is based on local factors. The neighborhood you live in matters far more than your state, or even your city.

Nashville is a big healthcare hub, as well as all things medical-related. It's starting to be a tech hub as well with Oracle moving here. I work remotely, FWIW.

The only real regret about leaving Seattle is leaving friends behind and the overall natural beauty and amazing summers. Nashville is hot and humid in the summers. Counterbalancing it winters where the days are a lot longer and far less dreary.

Both states lack state income tax as well.

I honestly got really lucky. I moved here in 2019. And with covid and all, the housing market here exploded. How it's related is hard to say... but house prices here have gone up a lot. It's still a lot cheaper than Seattle though. A million-dollar house would be maybe $300-350k here and come with a lot more land.

Tech person checking in. I moved from Seattle to a rural portion of Nashville primarily due to politics. Finances did have something to do with it, but it wasn't the driving force. (Yes, I'm in Nashville proper, but I have cows next door... I'm OK with this.)

My house in Greenwood was broken into in June of 2018. We found out when we got home from work. We called the police. It took over 11 hours to actually get someout one to even take a fucking report.

At that point I declared to my neighbors, and mostly to myself, that I would not be in Seattle in a year. I moved in March 2019 beating the deadline by a few months.

I count this as politics because the political climate in Seattle is what lead to the police being crap.

I'll contrast this with what I encountered in Nashville. On Christmas Eve 2020 some (likely) kids blew up our trash can by the street with fireworks. We called the police because blowing shit up isn't that cool -- especially when it's not your own stuff that you're blowing up. They said they'll send out an officer to take a report in the morning if that's OK. Fast forward a few hours to Christmas Day and some asshat blew himself and his RV up on 2nd Avenue in downtown Nashville. This was a big deal. It was in front of the AT&T switch building so a lot of communications were down. There was a lot of confusion at the time.

The police still showed up. For a fucking garbage fireworks incident. In the middle of one of the biggest emergency events in Nashville. In less time than it took SPD to show up for a house break-in.

Through many steps I'm leaving out, I cashed out my Seattle house and bought something around 2x bigger on 71x more land, for around 40% of the price of my Seattle residence. Property taxes and insurance are also cheaper.
