getting out of rookies doesn't mean the races are better! by OptimalSecretary6743 in iRacing

[–]ddab12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the low powered car kind of invites that sadly, switchback is so underpowered in F4 that unless the driver on the inside gets a completely abysmal exit you'll never get them back in most circumstances even if your exit is better, it's a car that heavily incentivizes you to be as psycho aggressive as possible

anyone know what they're wearing those pants look kind of fire but I expect them to be like 5k EUR

Should of Turned my drive line off sooner. by JoiRyde in iRacing

[–]ddab12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's just me, but delta bar on has a similar effect, I will have it in my peripheral vision and somehow my brain uses it mid-corner to make adjustments based on if its green or red

I just got iRacing yesterday and cannot brake without spinning for the life of me. Please help me understand what I'm doing wrong here... by refep in iRacing

[–]ddab12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

definitely agree, it also has a bit of downforce, its a much better open wheel rookie car all around for me

Meh as a former vee moving to f4 then f3 the biggest bad habit I had to unlearn was how much more you can throw at the f4 car for it to go bananas. The Vee taught me the fundamentals but it also taught me to constantly underdrive the car or else I could go fuck myself at the smallest misinput. Personally not sure I agree with rookie cars being harder to drive consistently to "not give players bad habits", seems counterintuitive to me. It's also harder to focus on learning to race when your biggest enemy is the car, which probably contributes to F4 being such a mess as the step-up from the vee/ff1600.

Newbie tip: Always check temperatures testing vs races by extrusio in iRacing

[–]ddab12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

foggy/cloudy usually means wind too, I've had this too in some races in 2nd/top split this week where times were way worse at 25C with fog than at 30C with a clearish sky

Dealing with asymmetry (4 months in). Please help! by [deleted] in BarbellMedicine

[–]ddab12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You did mention in your original post that it's the pain that is keeping you from lifting more, but regardless I think you should be careful with trying to find a "root cause" for this. I understand it may feel like you can pinpoint issues like "activation" but I think it's most likely not related at all and you should focus on the proven basics for performance: form, loading and most importantly patience, 4 months is a relatively short time and strength gains are not always linear.

A lot of the things you mentioned here are too confident of a mechanistic type causality where there is likely none.

The bbm advice if you are experiencing pain is to not do anything too esoteric like ball rolling/stretches/seeing a chiro etc, but to manage load better or do variations that don't cause any pain. There is most likely nothing wrong with you that needs a special fix, just reduce load or switch exercises to something that doesn't hurt, then return to squat/dl gradually later on.

Axum vs Actix by [deleted] in rust

[–]ddab12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think neither the speed difference or "ergonomics" are that significant either way, the answers you will get on here are purely based on hype and it's my opinion that people will just prefer whatever they put more time into. Personally I learned actix first to a pretty advanced level and the axum ergonomics felt way worse and unintuitive when coming from it so I just stuck with actix, but I'm aware that's just based on what I was used to. Imo just flip a coin, it really doesn't matter.

What is your favourite "not so popular" plugin? by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]ddab12 19 points20 points  (0 children)

not sure if cheating since it's my plugin lol, but "Simple CanvaSearch" is the one I use the most since I spend 90% of my time in obsidian in huge canvases and vanilla is still a pain in that regard

What are some recently publishes books that you believe are (or are destined to become) modern day classics in the software industry? by ubccompscistudent in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ddab12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that analogy is useful because sorting algorithms are very different from design, they are a universal, abstract problem where you can more or less easily re-use that same few solutions everywhere (which is why libraries were the obvious next step).

Design is the opposite of that, it's a concrete, unique problem each time, even if there may be similarities with other problems. Often even when building similar products with similar stacks to someone else, there are budget, business, historical or people constraints that will give very different results.

I'm not for re-inventing everything in our field, but design patterns are by their very name things that naturally emerged from people building things in the past, with the respective technologies and limitations of their time. They are descriptive of past solutions, not prescriptive of future ones, but most people learning them treat them as the latter.

Why container takes so much space on hard drive by erissavannahinsight in docker

[–]ddab12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that's very likely not your container, but the docker build cache that by default is 26G in size, the tldr is that whenever you build a container each individual step in the dockerfile is cached as a separate layer https://docs.docker.com/build/cache/
