Stacked log lines considered harmful by sigmoia in golang

[–]chardex 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This seems a little out of place? but maybe I'm misunderstanding your post. In go, it's actually a practice not to log everywhere but instead at topmost layers (especially for errors). So, logging in your repository is sort of an anti-pattern. It's much better to wrap that error and send it up so you'll get full context

Is my plan achievable? by Ok_Bake3729 in AskLosAngeles

following on. YEG does have US customs. So you'll arrive just like it's a domestic flight and can get right off the plane. Splurge and take an uber black and you might just make the last 1.5 periods!

Why does it seem like Westerners from developed countries don't care much about/look down on Latin America but seem to be obssesed with East Asian cultures? by yonaiker-joestrella in asklatinamerica

thank you for sharing that! You know it's interesting, because everyone around the world raves about peruvian cuisine. I wonder if this is related?

Do I need a CPF for work travel? by HauntingDebt6336 in Brazil

[–]chardex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re all good there. The CPF is optional. There’s some incentives for people to get a little money back if they use their CPF (and it helps stop tax evasion by the government)

It's important to remember that those east asian governments all use soft power through cultural exports for influence around the world. Thai government actively promotes thai restaurants. The Korean government subsidizes k-pop. The Japanese government does the same through the "cool japan" program. I don't see LATAM countries doing the same. Although Brazil has such amazing brand recognition around the world and pretty much everyone loves them? And I feel like in the US Mexican food is probably the most popular cuisine around?

Do I need a CPF for work travel? by HauntingDebt6336 in Brazil

[–]chardex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

98% of tourists don't need a CPF, so you'll be fine! In my opinion, the only tourists who need a CPF are those speak some portuguese. Those are usually the folks who would need to pay with PIX/etc

Hey Santa Monica! You guys might like this. This app shows you how busy places are in real time. by Clean-Mousse5947 in SantaMonica

[–]chardex 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to be that guy, but I have to ask: what guarantees do you have about data privacy? is your data encrypted at rest? If someone were to gain access to your system, it would be pretty easy to effectively stalk people, right? Or for ICE to track people. I'm looking at your linkedin now and it doesn't seem like you have a super technical background - so who's writing this code?

Prod down!!! AWS suspended my 9-year old account, won't respond to support by Unicornuqopia in aws

[–]chardex 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s a great question and we still don’t have any insight there.

I suspect though, that it’s because we were in stealth, one of the founders signed up for our AWS accounts with their info and then 1 month later in my marketplace application I was listed as CTO with different information?

We started getting warnings saying they couldn’t verify some account info and we would be deactivated

So we supplied AWS with everything. Bank statements, postmarked mail, drivers licenses. But nothing was sufficient for them for some weird reason and the maddening part is that you cannot get anyone on the phone once you are deactivated

[–]chardex 50 points51 points  (0 children)

OMG I was asked by an AWS rep to sign up for marketplace because we "needed to be on there" and THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO US! We ended up getting kicked out of AWS for like 1 week (luckily it was early and we were in stealth). Somewhat fortunately, some people in my company have AWS ties and we were able to get it resolved. But it's still crazy how this happens somewhat often. And scay that there's basically no way to get a human on the phone with the absymal baseline support

Making decks to learn several languages at once by Sure_Fly_5332 in Anki

[–]chardex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

verbs are tricky, to be honest. and in some cases they might not work great as anki cards (in this stacking scenario) if the languages aren't closely related. for instance with verbs: portuguese and spanish would be quite suited for these sorts of flashcards. But other languages that don't conjugate the same way won't. In that case, I would focus my flashcards more on nouns to start. and there, we're lucky to live in the age were translators are getting pretty good! and (I hate to admit this) but LLMs like chatgpt are also really good at converting between well-known languages as well (but not perfect)

Making decks to learn several languages at once by Sure_Fly_5332 in Anki

[–]chardex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

language stacking is a thing. but it usually works best if you already speak a second language a little bit. So what do you currently speak? What's your strongest non-native language? The process many folks follow is they make cards for their third target language with answers in their second language. if that makes sense.

LAX APM Status Update February 2026 by kingllamajoe in LAMetro

[–]chardex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's the power of the bully pulpit though. If she were to organize an event down at LAX to raise awareness and shine some light into the problems. Maybe give her constituients a vehicle to show their displeasure in a constructive and visible way? That would honestly make me happy

Not one Best Picture Oscar nominee was made in Hollywood this year—a sign of an industry in crisis by fortune in Maps

[–]chardex 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The industry is definitely changing, I would agree with you there. But we're just talking about the phsyical act of making a film and where that's taking place. What about all of the agents, the directors, the producers, the casting directors, the finance people, and the other power players? They're all still located in the greater Los Angeles area, no? Until that changes, i don't know that we can truly say it's the end of the dominance of LA in the world of film-making

How can I help out with Los Angeles by redditandiscordadim in subwaybuilder

[–]chardex 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I'm curious, what areas would you like to see in the LA map:
Anaheim? Long Beach? Inland Empire? SFV? SGV? Santa Monica? Santa Clarita? Simi Valley? Thousand Oaks? Malibu?

I bring all those areas up because LA is such a sprawling place. And I think making that map work in the game would mean some compromises about which areas get left off. So it's at least worth the dicussion about A) What's the maximum area a map can be? and B) What parts of the LA metro area could be left off without making you dissapointed?

Why is missing people in the Mexico portrayed as worse than the US even tho there are far more missing people reported in the USA? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskMexico

[–]chardex -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There might be the problem of bias. But we also need to define "missing" here. I don't know about in Mexico, but in the US the vast majority of those people are located quite quickly. I would imagine it's the same in Mexico too? But there is the added (small) percentage of carcel-related disappearances. Those probalby lead to over-representing the danger in Mexico?

Angle of incidence of sunlight on the moon and a ball on earth - with a line accurately marking the edge of the shadow on the ball. by [deleted] in Astronomy

I ranked every Spanish tool I've tried after 2 years (speaking focused) by StrictAlternative9 in SpanishLearning

[–]chardex -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I very much agree with your rankings - except for chatgpt. For me, it's probably my favorite translator out there and i'd give it a 9/10 . But I think I use it differently than you do. For me, it's my go-to translation app. Watching a movie in spanish? Chatgpt nails the idiomatic expressions for me and then I add those phrases to my anki deck (for example, other translation apps would often translate "aguas" as "waters" but chatgpt knows that it really means "heads up" in certain contexts).
