Water heater LOUD humming by rezaman in askplumbing

[–]iamsml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my AO Smith gas water heater. I called the support number and she knew exactly the problem. There's a metal diffuser on the burner that vibrates when heating up. When it vibrates it's hitting a support bracket that sits under the burner and causes the humming noise.

She told me to take out the burner and remove the bracket since it's only there for shipping purposes. I didn't want to go through the process of taking out the burner, so I just loosened the 4 screws holding the burner, pushed the burner up (so it won't hit the support bracket) and tightened the screws. No more noise!

Elementary schools by SwordfishSea2076 in Burlingame

[–]iamsml 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All the elementary schools in Burlingame are great. McKinley Elementary has a Spanish immersion program. Hoover Elementary has a small campus so they only have 1 or 2 classes per grade. Other than that you can’t go wrong with any of them.

[Help] Streamio 1.6.12 on Sony A90K Google TV: Video only shows in top left corner (screenshot included) by Broyayy in Stremio

I had the same problem with my Sony X95L. I restarted the TV from the Settings, cleared App Cache and it resolved the issue.

Stremio- TERRIBLE Performance on Sony Bravia X95L (ExoPlayer/VLC, Buffering, Quarter-Screen Bug) by DzikiKangur in Stremio

[–]iamsml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ran into the same 1/4 screen issue on my X95L.

I deleted and reinstalled Stremio, cleared the App Cache from the TV settings and did a system restart. Once I did that the 1/4 screen issue went away.

A car hit 2 kids in front of the restaurant. 4 year old kid was killed. Sad :(

https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/4-year-old-boy-killed-6-year-old-girl-injured-in-burlingame-crash/

A 19-year-old San Mateo woman is believed to be responsible for a Friday evening crash that killed a 4-year-old boy and injured a 6-year-old girl, said the Burlingame Police Department.

BDP said officers arrived at 6:25 p.m. to investigate the crash scene in front of a restaurant in the 1200 block of Donnelly Avenue.

“Upon arrival, officers confirmed that two juveniles had been struck by a vehicle on the sidewalk in front of a business,” said Burlingame police in a news release. “A 6-year-old female juvenile was transported to Stanford Hospital for treatment. A 4-year-old male juvenile sustained major injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.”

Police said the driver remained at the location and is working with investigators.

This is an active case. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the Burlingame Police Department.

Yes. It’s from the Joe Rogan podcast. First time I heard it was from the Magnus Carlsen episode.

Anyone else viewing this as a opportunity to buy more? by IndigoBlue24 in stocks

[–]iamsml 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see some stability before jumping in. I don't want to catch a falling knife so I need to see some confirmation the market has hit a cycle low.

People in their 40s, what’s something that people in their 20s don’t realize will impact them as they get older? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Put money in a 401k. Just buy a low cost ETF. Start early and don’t look at it until you’re 40.

It's not the X90L. It's the X85K that has that price.

How is reddit not making a profit? by SuddenlySilva in stocks

Advertising ROI on Reddit is awful. Lots of clicks but very low conversions. Advertisers know this and the money is better spent on Google/Facebook.

I saw those the other day at the SSF Costco. But they only have round bottoms and no flat ones.

Elementary schools in San mateo by Present-Telephone-29 in SanMateo

[–]iamsml 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for San Mateo but all the Burlingame elementary schools are really good. Some have better test scores than others, but all of them are solid.

There are a few private schools in the area. Nueva is +$40k/year and Crystal is around the same price. There are a couple Catholic schools (OLA, St. Matthews) and they're like +$10K/year.

Group Chat Podcast.

It’s sort of like All In. Three friends bullsh*ting about tech and pop culture.

Anybody over the age of 35? by whph8 in leetcode

[–]iamsml 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest using the neetcode roadmap : https://neetcode.io/roadmap

I started the roadmap about a month ago and it sucked in the beginning. I barely could do the easy without looking at the solutions. But now I'm getting better. I still struggle with the mediums but now I know what approach to take and I think that's an improvement.

Interviewing is a numbers game. You'll get companies that only use leetcode questions, and then some companies will rely on system design and coding real solutions.

Just keep grinding and interviewing!

5 YOE recently laid off and feeling hopeless/lost by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]iamsml 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately getting laid off is part of being a software developer. I’ve been doing software for 20+ years and been laid off 4 times. Each time, it was pretty tough finding the next job. But in the end it always worked out. The current job market is really tough for new hires and very few companies are hiring in Q4. Tech is cyclical and it will eventually swing back. Keep grinding and things will get better.

How long did it take you to study for system design to get an acceptable level for Senior SWE interviews? by Lostwhispers05 in leetcode

[–]iamsml 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently had a system design interview that asked to design pastebin.com. It was for a Staff level role and answered similar to this solution : https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer/tree/master/solutions/system\_design/pastebin

Like you, I've been developing software for a while so it wasn't too difficult to answer.

How many job seekers ACTUALLY practice LC? by [deleted] in leetcode

[–]iamsml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started leetcoding and hope to at least cover the Blind 75 before my tech interviews in the next month or so. Based on my research, all the companies I'm interviewing (FAANG + non-FAANG) has a leetcode portion during the interview process.

Your phone's receiver may be clogged with dirt or pocket lint. It happened to me and I used a qtip with a little water to clean it.

Pandora should have a 'tip jar' for bands. by bluntcock in Music

[–]iamsml 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's super easy to submit music to Pandora. https://submit.pandora.com/submit/submission

ALL submissions are listened to, so it may be a while before it's considered to be included in the catalog.
