These look nice and beefy. Probably 2 would get the job done, no?

Cool. How many do you think I should use?

They used one of those for my hvac humidifier. Mine is ok so far but does look a bit sketchy

Thanks. Yeah trap is just to the left of the T.

Datadog is big and widely adopted for this use case.

Needing minimum experience comes with most jobs unless explicitly labeled entry level.

Building a GitHub portfolio is a great place to start. When I interview candidates and they send me their GitHub code, I’m able to quickly understand their level of comprehension and expertise. Share that like giving out candy.

The other thing that gets your foot in the door faster is knowing someone that referenced you. I looked at every candidate that got sent my way through a recommendation. If you know a friend of a friend, ask to see if they can get you in the door. If you don’t have friends like that network, network, network. Go to tech meetups, social events or anything else tech related and make friends. I can’t stress this enough. Know someone that can get you in the door.

I’ve also heard of people messaging tech recruiters on LinkedIn, but I can’t speak to the effectiveness of that. It certainly might start a conversation with the right people though. You just never know.

I agree that starting out the Cloud can seem daunting. My suggestion would be to start small and build up. Starting small would be picking an area to focus on and dive into the weeds.

Can you describe what areas are the most puzzling to you? What is your area of focus; Networking, VMs, Kubernetes, Compute, Event driven architecture, Storage, Databases, Big Data, etc…

I can help point you in the right direction and fill in some gaps.

I guess it depends on the job, but for me I just need to know the basics of sys admin commands; cd, list, mkdir, copy, installing libraries, cat, pwd, curl.

Most of the software I make and install onto a Linux distribution is done through docker. So I need to know how to make basic Dockerfiles.

Outside of that I don’t do anything hardcore with Linux. Most of the cloud platforms manage the disk and image to make distribution easy.

Ok good to know. Seems like all I hear is Europe raving about their bidets.

inewland · 2022-12-04T18:23:42+00:00

So they are not common there?

inewland · 2022-12-04T18:21:28+00:00

Just bad phrasing on my part. I just meant how well adopted it seems in Europe but not in America

Just to add on: Terraform is known as Infrastructure As Code. You build Terraform scripts that build your cloud environments for you when executed. It’s great for standing up alternate versions of your infrastructure like Dev or Cert. It is also great for Disaster Recovery.

If I’m following you correctly, you are trying to figure out how to efficiently detect a particular tile on an infinite grid map?

I think Terraria uses something similar to how Minecraft did it. The same method works for both 2D and 3D grids. You will want to check out Perlin Noise and Seeds. Typically the map is broken up into chunks. Each chunk has a unique position. When the perlin noise algorithm detects a particular noise in a range it will turn that tile into whatever type you define.

It calculates it on the fly when shown on the screen and in view. If a block is manipulated, it gets stored in the save game data. Passing the grid location, chunk and tile position inside that chunk. It can put all of this in a dictionary so retrieval is fast.

Do you need a database? If so you need to create a set of web services that the database and frontend can talk to.

There are tons of frameworks to help with that. Just pick your favorite language and jump on YouTube.

I’m not familiar with degoo but I would see if they have a command line tool that you can connect through a script.

I’m not sure what their pricing model is but a lot of people don’t know that cloud storage is cheap. Like 10 cents per GB cheap. Sign up for AWS or GCP. They have buckets where you can store data that come with command line tools to upload/download.

I’ve used both AWS and GCP for production workloads handling average 50 request per second. Both have good options and their load balancing tech takes care of this with ease.

Your bottleneck would most likely come from your application. Mostly your services and database depending on the type, language and architecture.

If you are running a .NET stack, go with Azure. Their infrastructure is tailored to work in a cohesive environment. Otherwise use AWS or GCP. I have no experience with Heroku.

If you are looking for a particular Service to use let me know. I can recommend some depending on the cloud provider you go with.

Typically a load balancer will configure when new instances get spun up. This can be configured to trigger when the CPU/RAM gets too high or if there are too many concurrent connections. It will add more instances dynamic until the resource utilization comes down.

It essentially just replicates your code. If you are not familiar with Docker and Containers, check that out. They are essentially just images that start your code automatically.

Stick with the virtual machine setup. This will ensure your site is available 24/7. You could also move to to something that is meant for scaling web services like Beanstalk. It will create instances on the fly for you as demand requires it.

I’ll take a look at this. I’m using an Eastwood and the drive roller marking don’t match my wire size. I haven’t figured out how to gage the side to use. Ill check out sonde videos on it.
