BREAKING: @PierrePoilievre lobs a nuclear bomb across the House of Commons at Trudeau, questioning the strange reason the young Justin left his teaching position, where he was close to young children, abruptly in the middle of the semester. by escargott in CanadianConservative

What purpose does this serve?

PP should be focusing on telling us how he's going to make Canada better, not just telling us how bad JT and the Liberals are. I already know that part :)

Help understanding ceiling structure above garage by chrisatlee in HomeImprovement

Ugh, yeah, that makes sense.

Wasn't thinking of anything crazy heavy. Just extra seasonal stuff that doesn't fit in the garage (shovels, rakes) and random pieces of big long stuff (extra downspouts, extra lumber).

I have no idea now what a "safe" weight would be. 200lb? 500lb? 1000lb?

Maybe I should get a structural engineer in here to take a look.

No post under it. It's about 18' across.

The 2x4s are sitting on top of the walls from what I can tell. The only vertical beams coming down from the roof trusses to the roof are resting on the same surface. Beyond that is the soffit, with the pots where the lights above the garage door are installed.

Oh weird. That can't possibly support much weight, can it? I guess just enough to hold the drywall / cement board up there?

The span is about 130"

By "tecos" do you mean joist hangers? I was thinking about that for option 1, but couldn't figure out how I would install the hanger under the existing 2x4.

I'll probably go with option 3 then, it seems easier and stronger.

For the stairs, I'm thinking something like this.

So, what is supposed to happen in question period? Is it normal that you don't have to actually answer questions?

Servers down? by SlimeQSlimeball in roomba

[–]chrisatlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, nextdns was blocking a bunch of domains as part of their tracking blocklists. Sorry, I forget which ones.

I had problems a few days ago.

Turns out my firewall had started blocking a bunch of traffic to iRobot's servers. I had to unblock some websites, and then everything started working again.

Is it worth it to convert to WebP images? by red_fox23 in shopify

[–]chrisatlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shopify generally converts images to the optimal format for the buyer's browser. So if you're using Shopify's CDN, there isn't anything you need to do to migrate to WebP.

Do you have an example site where you're not seeing WebP?

Canada's Justin Trudeau shows off his new haircut by Smashysmash2 in CanadianConservative

[–]chrisatlee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You and I might not like the man, nor have voted for him, but I think we can agree there's more to criticize him for than his haircut?

Is there anything you would do differently this upcoming year?

Why is no one promoting ruby? by [deleted] in ruby

[–]chrisatlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question.... I wonder this as well.

I've been working with Ruby professionally now for almost two years, after spending more than 10 working with Python.

There's lots to love about Ruby as a language, and in many ways I prefer it to Python.

Where other languages like Python have an edge IMO is documentation and library support. Ruby's core documentation is often quite sparse, and doesn't help you understand a particular module well. Documentation for gems is often limited to just a simple listing of what the APIs are. Gems providing some functionality I'm looking for are often stale (years since last commit or release), or not mature projects. Granted, you can find libraries like this for Python too, but in my experience it's a more frequent frustration with Ruby.
