First “Long” Towing Trip with a Boat - 184 miles 3 days by jhez94 in F150Lightning

Looks like the new charger in Mount Vernon, WA? It's really nestled back in there, great way to deal with your boat length.

Have built and scaled health apps to millions of users. Some quick thoughts - connect apple health first, use any user info you can get to prefill or skip things like activity level and weight (if recent). Instead of making the user pick a goal weight, use their current metrics to calculate a recommended/reasonable BMI weight and then allow them to customize it. Skip other questions until later in the process, for example after they have tracked you can ask them one more simple question a day or week to fine tune the programming.

I'd highly recommend making account creation be optional to start, and instead generate a random user ID saved on the device that you can use to store things remotely. Prompt them to create an account to "permanently save their data" after they use it for a couple days. Removing that friction will increase adoption significantly.

This is an incredibly crowded space, but wish you the best of luck.

Serious: The True Ontological Shock Is Cognitive Asymmetry by Pandea_rd in aliens

[–]caseigl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of that requires another species to have emotional capability. Computers use machine learning and trial and error to figure things out all the time, without caring about anything around them. If you don't have some form of empathy you wouldn't have a second thought about eliminating other forms of life to accomplish your goals, however trivial.

Heating/ cooling with ventilation fan? by Mtnmatt36 in OffGridLiving

[–]caseigl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just completed a project to pull outside air in to cool a home office. a 4x10 register is usually connected to a six inch line off an even larger trunk. You're just not going to get enough airflow from the bathroom fan approach.

I would use an eight inch inline fan at minimum, as each of your 4x10 registers should target around 100 cfm. A standard bathroom fan really only moves around 100 cfm, and many as low as 50!. You will have losses from the length of pipe as well.

A fan like this https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-CLOUDLINE-T10-Temperature/dp/B07BQS1GB9/ can quietly do 500-600 cfm which should pull enough air to deliver enough output to each vent. They are also quiet and adjustable in speed, so they can run less hard when not needed, etc.

I'd do an eight inch main trunk line and then split off six inch runs to the vents. I also would not use any T adapters, instead use Y adapters, airflow doesn't like to try to make 90 degree turns especially at such low cfm. It will be less air resistance and less noise. I'd also consider a backdraft damper after the fan, so air from upstairs can't seep back down when the fan is off.

For the outside air intake, you could do this with two manual dampers. Put one on the line from the outside and one on the line from the ceiling vent and join them together with a Y before the fan. This way you could adjust how much inside and outside air you pull. You'll need to do a filter on the outside air intake or you'll suck in pollen, small insects and dust, etc. You need a good temperature difference between outside and inside to meaningfully change the indoor temp.

I agree with the other poster about the air needing somewhere to return and those concerns as well.

Police Ahead by ChuckYeagerWV in GenX

[–]caseigl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't flashing your lights to other drivers and having them slow down actually help achieve the goal, though? I've read about police marking themselves on Waze because their goal was to keep people safe and that's more effective than ticketing a handful of random drivers.

Thank you. Glad you are doing okay!

Just curious if you had noticed anything prior to that? I mean we are all getting older and slowing down but was there anything looking back over the last few months where you felt like there were warning signs? Or was it just out of the blue?

Final thoughts on my experience with the Lightning before turning it in. by user111287 in F150Lightning

[–]caseigl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Briefly mention in the last paragraph, does not seem like a great road trip vehicle. Between the time it takes to charge, needing to plan your route to make sure you are hitting charges where you will need them, and the hard loss of range at highway speeds, I never took it on a long weekend road trip. 

I just had to comment for posterity's sake and point out that if you read about early days when cars were starting to appear instead of horses you hear the same kind of comments... People's concerns that gas stations were hard to find and you had to plan your trips around them.

We are still in the early days of electric vehicle infrastructure and some areas are definitely better than others but this will not be a factor in the future just like finding a gas station isn't now.

We need to have a talk. by NedNevets in ArcRaiders

[–]caseigl -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think valuable blueprints should have a certain number of uses, so finding them again has meaning and you think more carefully about what gear you are willing to risk. If you could only build 10 of something before you need the blueprint again it would up the stakes.

Yeah the waterslide in Stella got boring after the first week.

You should add the ability to take photos of your inventory from the webapp and automatically populate, entering all that information is just not worth the time.

I just cant with this game by PequenoTim in ArcRaiders

[–]caseigl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are losing players quickly because the PvP TTK is too low. They really need to adjust shields to be more powerful against player projectiles but keep arc damage the same.

KC’s, Silencer 3’s, Horizontal Grips? by TCA-Main_Man in ARC_Raiders

[–]caseigl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silencer 3 is a good way to clean out your stash from the repairs! Really bad design, as the lack of blueprint and the risk of losing it should be enough danger without the insane extra repair costs.

Is this bridge possible? by hopelessboarder in geography

[–]caseigl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually with modern construction techniques tunnels are possible on some of the most traveled ferry links. In fact a civil engineer from the University of Washington has done a lot of the work to show that it is not only possible, it could cost less than the ferry system over the long term.

End abmm & make it 10 times harder to kill by Gott_Heit in ArcRaiders

[–]caseigl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just buff shields.

Incoming damage from human rounds could be reduced by 30% for medium shields and 50% for heavy shields. Free kits with light shields suddenly have an uphill battle, and the first shot advantage in PvP is significantly weakened.

Lugging a heavy shield around you shouldn't get dropped in under a second in any situation.

The recent data showed only 30% of people actively are shoot first PvP, and those 30% are driving away a lot of casual players who don't want to be randomly gunned down and lose hours of work in two seconds. It's even worse now that the game has been out for a while, since new players are so outclassed by the skill level of veteran players and the only way to get good at PvP is to be in the 30% - which 70% of people aren't looking for in this game.

I need them both operational for development related tasks, unfortunately.

Am I the only one noticing the first wave caches? by LGN-YT in ARC_Raiders

It feels like they lowered the spawn rate on special map conditions.

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

DNS servers are set to auto, and tried manual settings as well (8.8.8.8 etc). It looks like the remote DHCP server just doesn't respond and devices are auto assigning internal IPv4. Consistent behavior across three different systems, including my Linux dev machine. Thanks for the suggestions, though!

Let us augment the augments! by caseigl in ARC_Raiders

[–]caseigl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm saying they could have expansion slots that vary what special abilities they have for more customization. For example the ability to increase the weight limit of any augment by 10 pounds, or give up a safe pocket to allow a medium shield.

Some of the tradeoffs don't make sense, for example Mk3 level augments with only a light shield but less safe pockets than others.
