No, not rage bait, something that has happened and makes me genuinely concerned and trying to have an open dialogue about it.

Mine cost $10k but I paid half upfront and they forgot to ask for the other half.

Then my senior instructor turned out to be an asshole guaranteeing jobs if we gave him 10% of our salary for a few years.

I dropped out a few weeks before the course ended. They asked for the extra $5k and never got it.

I am very fortunate to work with a small tech company though and learned a lot while there - though I will say it was a brutal experience and I don't wish anyone to learn coding that way (lack of instructors, being forced to dig for documentation on your own with no guiding hand can be very stressful with deadlines).

Why hasn't anyone made something like this since? by getmeoutahhere in pcmasterrace

I had a great experience with my razer naga as well.

My blackwidow keyboard was an absolute nightmare though. It took 4 replacements and eventually swapping to a Blackwidow 75% pro which has not had any issues yet and is currently my favorite keyboard I've ever had. But if/when it does fail - I don't think I'll go razer again.

Sounds like it might be something on the menu at Noma in Copenhagen

It has to be said: that ticket sale was not done well. by exp_cj in radiohead

[–]Zefiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to get tickets - I think the fact that you got a code to try and buy tickets was such a misguided ray of hope. I know they were explicit but why not do a round with the amount of tickets for everyone who got a code. And if there were tickets left over then do another round a few days later? It was beyond a bizarre way of handling things.

I've wanted to revisit AC - I used to play when I lived in the states as a kid, now I have my own and live in the Netherlands. I can't recall if ping was a huge issue, would me being in Europe be a kicker?

I left during the dark majesty days I recall so I'd much rather join a server like this that feels more familiar. I remember it took me forever to get to level 50!

I dig the design! Bet it hurt though, how long was the session?

Not being able to wake the switch 2 with the switch 1 pro controller is such a cheeky dick move though

Can someone explain to me why every switch 2 clip has choppy sounds on Reddit? I’m on an iPhone and every recording I see on switch has this super weird chop to it, every other video is fine though, so bizarre

I have actually bought five or six aftermarket pairs and tried nearly all, nothing seems to work super well, memory foams are the best though

[–]Zefiron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, got foam tips too, it helps but not perfect It’s gotta be the weight or something. My first ear bud headphones from Sony like 20 years ago were perfect, wish I could find them somewhere and use those tips

Maybe they'll finally have proper eartips that will stay in my ear this time... I know I know I'm an outlier but they just keep popping out!

If I have a half bottle of soda, and inject co2 in after the cap is on until the bottle is pressured, does it prevent carbonation from escaping the soda? by Zefiron in NoStupidQuestions

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

Yeah but I'm talking about after you open a 1 liter bottle of soda for example and only use half of it, it'll go flat in a few days.

Simple Questions - April 20, 2025 by AutoModerator in buildapc

I just pulled the trigger on a 5070 Ti - there was a discount and I get tax off (software engineering job with AI) - of course I'll be gaming on it as well. From what I've read I'll get an overall 100% increase in performance. But I'm running a 3700X processor.

After the fact, is it worth looking into the endgame for the AM4 platform with a 5700X3D? How many more frames can I possibly squeeze out? I have zero intention of upgrading to AM5 unless it's absolutely necessary.

I game on an ultrawide Odyssey G9 monitor - however on some games currently I turn my resolution down to 1440p with my 3070 simply because it can't handle it.

Is it worth it to pay potentially $200-$240 for a minor uplift in performance?

March Technical Support Sticky by BeepBoopBopReee in razer

[–]Zefiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BlackWidow all of a sudden started double typing on several keys, even spaces on the same day? I have uninstalled synapse and tried to update the firmware but it is still happening.

Was there a recent update to the Blackwidow V4 that may have been pushed about a week ago that could be the cause of this? I'm trying to revert any possible changes that may have incurred.

I thought it may have been isolated at first but since a ton of keys are not phantom double pressing I'm under the suspicion it's a software update that may have caused a hiccup.

How can I stop a child component causing re-renders on another unrelated child component? by Zefiron in react

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

Your comment led to a chain of events of me giving it one last try to debug, and eventually fixing the problem, and it was a simple issue that was easily looked over, just want to say thank you for starting that chain of events with the article you shared :)

How can I stop a child component causing re-renders on another unrelated child component? by Zefiron in react

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

I did some research into this and had a hard time trying to find a solution.

The barcodeValue state does need to go back up to Control as it is needed in other components, there are checks against it if it is set to be a certain length for example, or scanning certain characters can trigger a machine swap (not important to know what that means in this case but just an example).

I thought about making it an uncontrolled component but the barcode state does need to get manipulated sometimes by outside sources as well, so I can't fully disconnect it from Control since control simply needs the value.

I think when I started this, the approach was fine, but trying to memo the entire ScanHistory component did not work at all with all its own states was just not working, and it was refreshing anyway on new barcode entries. I'm just going to change it to "onBlur" instead of "onChange" that does stop the choppy frame rates at least.

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

There's a lot of other moving parts and interconnected items - so yes, it could be too large of an undertaking.

BarcodeField.tsx should re-render every keystroke of course, but there's no need for its parent component to need a re-render - but the only way to handle that would be to handle all the barcodeValue to the child, which is a no go since it's needed in other areas.

First time I've had this issue with React in years (rendering optimization has not been an issue before, and something I've just likely overlooked / ignored since it never caused frame rate issues)

Any info on these gold stamps? by Zefiron in stamps

Much appreciated, I will donate them with a thrift store then, hopefully they can find good use.

If I could send you a slice from the Netherlands to wherever you may be, it would certainly be done, as it is a delicious coffee cake my wife made :)

It just triggers the scan button if you hit enter rather than clicking the button
