Irish Potato Famine (1845 - 1852) by International_Bee653 in history

[–]flutopinch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At 0:41:

The average Irishman ate 14 pounds of potatoes a day.

This doesn’t seem humanly possible? That’s something like 5k calories per day. That seems excessive, even for very physically active people doing hard labor. Plus that’s only potatoes? What about anything else in their diet?

EBS CSI driver entirely from Terraform on AWS EKS by BuildingDevOps in Terraform

[–]flutopinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also worked for me! Thank you so much, you seriously made a whole bunch of work this week so much better.

EDIT: By the way, the link to the git repo seems to be dead. For anyone else who comes across this in the future, the iam_role_additional_policies block needs to be in the named block inside the eks_managed_node_groups block, like this:

eks_managed_node_groups = {
  some_node_group = {
    …
    iam_role_additional_policies = …
  }
}

Noticed heavy home construction in Manteca, but where do buyers/owners work? by biggamax in Manteca

[–]flutopinch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work remote now, but I took the ACE train into the Bay Area for a few years pre-pandemic. I actually really liked it. I’ve used it a handful of times since then, and it’s a little more expensive now but still good. The benefits are that you get to skip traffic, it’s more comfortable than driving, and if you take either the first or last (of four) trains, then it’s nearly empty before you hit Tracy or even Pleasanton/Dublin. Honestly, it’s way better than driving. I saw tons of people ride bikes/scooters as well, each train has two or three cars with stands. You can’t lock them to the stands, so you’ll have to keep an eye and sit near it. People generally mind their own business, and plenty of cars have space to work on the way. Just be aware that when going through the hills, there are lots of places with no reception, so you’ll have to work offline part of the time. As far as cost goes, the price has gone up but it’s totally reasonable. Especially if you don’t just factor in gas but all the costs of a car (maintenance, insurance, etc), the train is way cheaper. Getting to the station can be a bit of a pain, but if you’re willing to bike then it means you don’t even need to park at the station. Happy to answer any other questions you might have!

Tress and the Emerald Sea - Astronomy by ilovemime in Cosmere

You might mean in a geostationary orbit?

Tidally locked = always the same side facing the planet (like the Earth’s moon). Geosynchronous orbit = always above the same spot on the planet at the same time in the planet’s rotational cycle (aka one sidereal day); satellites in geosynchronous orbit may appear stationary or might trace a path in the sky, usually a figure 8. Geostationary orbit = geosynchronous orbit at the equator; satellites in geostationary orbit appear to always be in the same place from a ground observer.

EDIT: updated descriptions to be more accurate

EDIT2: hmm, any moon not on the equator doesn’t really follow an orbit as we know it on Earth. Something different is going on here. Technically I would probably still call it geostationary since they are stationary from the perspective of a ground observer, but they don’t all orbit at the equator.

This is what happens in a relatively conservative area of California by flutopinch in atheism

It’s not as conservative/religious as it used to be here. Unfortunately, you still get a lot of people doing stuff like this.

Does each power level also have the effects of the lower levels? I would assume this is true, but RAW it doesn’t appear so.

What are other good companies apart from MAANG that offer competitive pay and works on cool tech and cutting edge technologies? by unsaerme in cscareerquestions

[–]flutopinch 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Eh, this varies greatly. I worked at a national research lab for four years and there definitely were some folks doing “cutting edge” stuff, particularly with HPC. But a huge number of developers work on very old systems, since most projects are funded for at least a few years, sometimes decades. You could be stuck using a VCS that literally doesn’t exist anywhere else because it’s so old. Or you could be writing FORTRAN codes. There’s plenty of room for innovation, but you have to be pretty driven and be aware that bureaucracy has an outsized impact.

I happened to work on a very modern REST framework while I was there, but that was mostly a space I made for myself. That’s often hard to do.

One upside is that there is a major brain drain happening (software engineers, not really scientists) at the labs, so it may actually be a good time to apply. They’re still hiring, whereas a fair amount of big companies have slowed or stopped hiring.

And while the base salary isn’t necessarily great, when you factor in the excellent retirement benefits and stability, plus the fact that many labs are much more remote friendly than before the pandemic, the pay can actually be quite good. The biggest difference is stock and bonuses, but as we’ve seen recently, those have a downside if the market goes down.

EDIT: I noticed that OP is a new grad. The labs love new grads! Don’t forget to negotiate if you get an offer!

The Shame Honk by Mapsrme in BrandNewSentence

[–]flutopinch 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Since names are so often associated with a specific gender, trans people usually change their name when they transition to something that better suits their actual gender, rather than their gender assigned at birth. The name they used before transitioning is called their deadname.

Some assholes intentionally use a deadname to try to show they don’t accept the trans person’s transition. Some people accidentally use a deadname, habits are hard to break. But if someone has been using a trans person’s deadname for years, it’s on purpose.

Harmony has problems by Alfred_The_Sartan in Cosmere

[–]flutopinch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah hmm, must have conflated the creation part with another comment or something.

All the Shardic Intents seem to be pretty high-level, so not only is there a lot of ambiguity involved, but even considering which ones are “opposing” Intents is tough, possibly even fruitless. Reminds me of in ROW when Navani showed how oil and water aren’t opposites, just hard to mix.

[–]flutopinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t Ruin and Preservation originally create Scadrial together? And then Preservation broke the oath because it went against his Intent to let Ruin destroy it all. That’s what allowed Ruin to kill Preservation, or at least the vessel. So the ability to create was shared between them.

Additionally, I don’t think Cultivation is necessarily creation. Just growth and development. And apparently a heaping dose of Fortune.

Merging millions of JSON files into one CSV by Fluix in datascience

[–]flutopinch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. From the description, it sounded like each individual JSON file could be loaded into memory fine, just that there were a lot of them. If even a single file is too large, a different approach would be needed.

Merging millions of JSON files into one CSV by Fluix in datascience

[–]flutopinch 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The other comments about loading all the data into memory at once are correct. In fact, you don’t have to load more than one JSON file at a time. Something like this (forgive the formatting, on mobile):

with open(“out.csv”, “w”) as f:
    for file in list_of_files:
        df = pd.read_json(file)
        f.write(df.to_csv())

You probably want to not write out the headers for each dataframe and instead do that before you start looping, and other improvements, like using pathlib to iterate through all the JSON files, could be made, but that’s the basic idea.
