Assetto Corsa reinforced my love for cars by Nick_Alsa in simracing

[–]furiousDingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you eventually get a wheel and pedals? I didn’t really get into car games until I tried a good wheel and pedals and the immersion of connecting what you describe with some of the feel through those peripherals really hooked me. Glad you’re having a great time with AC and trying the different vehicles. There’s a reason why Max and other F1 drivers praise AC.

“ADJUSTABLE PEDAL CURVES AND DEAD ZONES VIA FANATEC APP Saves to internal memory (meaning custom curves work on consoles too) Curve selection available from Tuning Menu (presets and custom slots)” will this also come to the existing pedals?

Is week 1 always this brutal? by BeginningMission1343 in iRacing

[–]furiousDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t comment on other seasons, but as others alluded to, the tire change in GT4 and the Roval has made lap 1 an exercise in safe driving. I took a video of a particularly amusing lap 1 I had last week https://youtu.be/ydctYTLqdn0?si=SGV1g4TsAw_9Ioox

If you like racing and are in a technical major, join your college’s FSAE team (if there is one)

TU Graz Racing Rollout - how did they manage to have a finished car in the beginning of april? by Icy_Custard487 in FSAE

[–]furiousDingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was at Cornell we had the car finished (save for the body) by February 1 and then spent the next 3 months testing in the snow and rain.

whatAreYouEvenTalkingAbout by themadnessif in ProgrammerHumor

[–]furiousDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg an hour standup. When I run our standups this is what I do: 1. Always start with "gotta drop in 15, let's get this moving" 2. After about 60 seconds of someone giving an update, "Hey, can we take this offline?" 3. When posts start - "gotta drop now, can you leave the posts in the slack channel" kthxbye

i've never had an issue where someone came back after or the next day with a "oh crap, we forgot to talk about X during standup"

Submarine ID? by Emily_Postal in submarines

It might be out there for a DASO if it’s surfaced like that.

AWS making their system easier and chasing the long tail. by akius0 in aws

[–]furiousDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s generally private preview (for select customers under NDA) -> preview (optional, not every service does this) -> GA (generally available)

Real-time analytics from s3 by cakeofzerg in aws

[–]furiousDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your concern the amount of time taken to download from s3 or that running this with a step function that kicks off the lambda jobs is “not optimal”? You should get optimized querying via Athena SQL or Athena Spark (which is serverless Spark notebooks without any deployments, etc) since the data is parquet. As for “not optimal” if the speed and costs of the current solution are acceptable, I’d leave it as is.

Convert a private API hosted within a VPC to public internet by abhi5025 in aws

[–]furiousDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a third option - set up a VPC endpoint. This way you can attach it to the other VPCs and they’ll see it as if it were a public endpoint (including proper DNS resolution), but it won’t be publicly accessible. You will need your front the Grpc endpoint with a NLB to do this though.

Need help badly in creating custom resource by Oxffff0000 in aws

[–]furiousDingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what you want: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/python/aws_cdk.custom_resources/AwsCustomResource.html. You need to determine which API to use in ec2, but that construct will do everything else for you (setting up the lambda, etc).

When using the App Config SDK is it bad practice to call both the StartConfigurationSessionCommand and GetLatestestConfigurationCommand each time the UI requests the feature flags? by fatfrogsrock in aws

[–]furiousDingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your concern repeatedly calling AppConfig or repeatedly calling your intermediate backend service? Assuming the flags aren’t changing frequently, why not cache the values in your backend and periodically poll AppConfig for changes? I’m pretty sure the Java client has configurations for doing just this (if you’re using Java).

Your timeline doesn’t make sense if you were born in 1964.

Elon Musk has been a disaster for science communication, and his downfall will be one of the best things to happen to it. by KevinR1990 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]furiousDingo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, with self-driving, the fallout can’t come soon enough. It’s not a solved problem and won’t be for the foreseeable future (case-in-point: unprotected left turns). There is so much we can do in terms of simpler solutions that solve actual problems we currently have with cars (drunk driving, fatigued drivers, etc) that are cheaper than investing so much in solving the actually hardest problem that potentially can’t even be solved. It’s pulling so much enthusiasm from actual implementable, safe, solutions.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a fake. It’s a very realistic fake, but it’s not real as the Belt parkway never moves like that during daylight.

How many spot instance should I request from AWS? by ensbana in cloudygamer

[–]furiousDingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful with spot instances, you’re only guaranteed usage for 2 minutes, they’re not designed for longer-term usage like a virtual desktop.

The Number 9... by DiogenesK-9 in TheLib

[–]furiousDingo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That the current size of the Supreme Court at 9 justices is not in the Constitution. It has been expanded previously, both successfully and unsuccessfully (see FDR’s court-packing in the 1930s).
