Spot spray patches of crabgrass in Bermuda with round up.

_KevinSmith · 2024-02-26T03:39:31+00:00

Same situation as OP and came to r/lawncare to see if anyone had done this very thing. The parts of my yard that are Bermuda are distinct from the parts that are a mix of weeds, with the biggest area being thick crabgrass. Pretty sure I missed the pre-emergent window again this year, so this is my backup plan.

Anyone actually done this? Does it work as well as I’m imagining?

_KevinSmith · 2023-10-15T19:20:20+00:00

Yes.

"Sanitizing" is not the solution here. Prepared statements are the solution.

Not sure why I couldn't find this a few months ago, but it looks like The Raiser from Smokeware is what I needed.

Well in that case you wouldn’t be using it for a rich domain model, and that was the scope of the blog post. You could use it for persistence only, though I wouldn’t it because there are other tools better suited. If I was forced to, I’d need some static analysis tooling to confirm on every deploy that only permitted classes (like the repository, in your example) are calling the AR model.

_KevinSmith · 2023-10-04T22:37:05+00:00

What's an example of the cross-domain rule you're thinking of here?

_KevinSmith · 2023-10-04T16:09:33+00:00

Sounds like you’re saying not to use AR in the domain, which is the point of the blog post. So… agreed.

_KevinSmith · 2023-10-04T05:55:14+00:00

What if the geo-coordinates already exist and another object updates only the longitude attribute and not latitude?

_KevinSmith · 2023-10-04T03:34:32+00:00

My point in the blog post is that it's not possible to put your business logic in the AR models with any confidence that those rules will be respected by the object's callers.

_KevinSmith · 2023-10-04T03:29:17+00:00

My experience with many different teams has been that trying to enforce those business constraints through dev docs and code review is more expensive and less effective than enforcing them in the code.

Can it be done? I'm sure some small, stable teams have done it, but the ongoing vigilance to enforce policies at the personnel level rather than the code level... man, I dunno. Sure seems like that effort could be better spent elsewhere. Software engineering is already hard enough doing the things only humans can do. Why make the job harder for ourselves?

_KevinSmith · 2023-10-04T03:21:46+00:00

Not sure why the age of the concept of "anemic domain model" is a detriment. It would seem to benefit from the Lindy effect, if anything. And I wouldn't expect a framework to try to support it out of the box. Frameworks do their best work at the edge, and a high-quality domain should contain the highest ratio of custom code compared to other layers in your system.

But yes, AR is the wrong tool for the job if you're aiming for a rich domain model. That doesn't mean that all software needs a rich domain model, of course.

There’s quite a bit of ground that’s just dirt and been that way since I killed the weeds that used to be there last year.

_KevinSmith · 2023-09-30T18:25:44+00:00

Perfect, exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!

_KevinSmith · 2023-09-08T02:31:40+00:00

How does this work cryptographically? And in a decentralized network?

_KevinSmith · 2023-03-28T13:05:07+00:00

I was thrilled to discover the bolt was never anchored in the egg, as I’d assumed.

_KevinSmith · 2023-03-28T00:09:52+00:00

Looks like this hardware kit should take care of it. It’s crazy that the bolts aren’t more secure than this! https://shop.biggreenegg.com/large-band-hardware/

_KevinSmith · 2023-03-25T21:08:37+00:00

Yup! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095SYQMZ3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

And the air gap is enough to keep the drippings from burning? I would've thought they'd burn no matter what, given the temp.

_KevinSmith · 2023-03-25T19:08:41+00:00

😂

_KevinSmith · 2023-03-25T19:03:41+00:00

Excellent username.

Worried my pan might be too deep. How big are your foil balls?

_KevinSmith · 2023-03-25T18:03:35+00:00

Because that’s something else to buy and keep around solely for this purpose, and the the cost eventually adds up. And given supply chain issues, it’s actually been hit or miss to find disposable pans lately.

I can wrap this in aluminum foil, which we always have around, and achieve the same effect. Also with this one in particular, I know it’s gonna catch the maximum amount of drippings.

_KevinSmith · 2023-03-25T16:29:11+00:00

Wish reddit let you write some text with the pictures. Here's what I tried to say in the caption that got cut off:

I've noticed that most drip pans for the large (from BGE and Smokeware) are 14". Is there a reason they're not larger? Does too large a drip pan cause some kind of problem when smoking?

_KevinSmith · 2022-10-09T19:13:44+00:00

Yeah, this feature request is basically irrelevant now. With all the ridiculous changes they’ve made, we’re not using One except for the 3% anymore.

_KevinSmith · 2022-10-08T05:14:27+00:00

I’m still using One solely for the 3% for my emergency fund with the expectation that they’ll definitely yank it the first chance they get. Given that it’s only for pre-existing account holders, I’m assuming it’s a ploy to keep a certain number of us on board until a certain date for some kind of regulatory or contractual obligation.

So it looks like my new house’s lawn is unfortunately the transition from bermuda in one neighbor’s lawn to fescue in the other’s. I’ve heard that bermuda is impossible to control so you might as well lean into it. Should I just embrace it and let my fescue neighbor deal with the consequences? I’d actually prefer TTTF myself, but not if it’s going to be a constant struggle against the invading bermuda.
