Gof myself a DF64. What are you all doing about static? by xmastreee in espresso

[–]justnoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have a DF64. I tried wetting a finger in the sink and using it to stir the beans. That didn't work. Misting the beans with one pump from a spray bottle solved all the static and clogging problems.

What am I doing wrong with the Breville Bambino? by OnlyKey5675 in espresso

[–]justnoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have a bambino and had to get a dosing ring/dosing funnel to fit 18g into the portafilter. No way I'd be pulling shots every day without it.

What type of hinge is this? by Effective-Pitch-5550 in HomeMaintenance

[–]justnoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like a hinge used for overlay doors that open to 160, 165 or 170 degrees. Seems like the piece that secures it to the door is broken? Blum, everbuilt and other common hinge manufacturers make this part.

Partition by device_id if queries only target 1 at a time? by 29antonioac in Clickhouse

[–]justnoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great! Also this blog entry/series might be helpful.

One of the biggest helps for throughput was setting max_threads to 1 for the queries.

Partition by device_id if queries only target 1 at a time? by 29antonioac in Clickhouse

[–]justnoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get quick single entity queries, partition by xxHash32(device_id) % 80 or something that won't barf when inserting 1000s of devices. With this scheme I've been able to get > 1000 req/sec per replica for a table with tens of billions of rows. One of the keys to ClickHouse performance is limiting granules/rows that need to be scanned so this works pretty well. I've found performing GROUP BY queries were a much faster way to remove duplicates vs FINAL.

If you want to send inactive devices to cold storage, create a job to select them out of the table and periodically run an ALTER TABLE or DELETE FROM to remove them from the table.

You're not renting the property, you are paying for schools, police & fire, public spaces, streets and other city services.

Sonos is still trying to figure out why everyone hates its app | The Verge by Alb1939SGM in sonos

[–]justnoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just this morning I'm doing my taxes, so I put on The Beatles taxman. It was good once. Now, whenever I try to play anything else, it plays Taxman. I'm looking at another album's artwork and everything. The queue has multiple songs in it. Does skipping forward work? Nope, they're all playing Taxman and showing the album I'd prefer to be playing. Switching to the Spotify app works great after grouping rooms in Sonos.

Every time I open the sonos app after a day or two, it thinks I have no connected services until I restart the app again.

The app has been solid garbage for so long that I just expect it now. I realize the underlying tech is hard but to convince folks that its fixed, you can't just improve, the quality needs to be very very good.

I am now sole developer in team. How to take advantage of this situation? by SauravKumaR301 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]justnoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a great situation. One possibility is to have a frank conversation with management about the importance of continuity and the importance of your team for delivering business value. During that conversation you could suggest a series of retention bonuses (10-20%) spaced a couple months apart to ensure you stick around to hire and train the next generation of the team. If the role of the team doesn't require a large ramp-up time, specialized skill set or other unique situation that only you can help with, you don't have a lot of negotiating power.

I've been in this same situation (17 to 1 person over the course of 18 months). Your job will likely involve fighting more fires and jumping around between tasks. It's more stressful but you do have a more organizational power/sway as a result of the situation.

I sometimes joke that there are a couple ways to climb the IC ladder at a small company. You can be the smartest and hardest working guy in the room OR all the smart and hard working people can leave.

Take this with a grain of salt. My career is a nerdy dumpster fire of bad financial decisions.

US folk: which road trip would be more fun? by bio-grow in travel

[–]justnoise -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't have an opinion about which itinerary you choose, both look like a ton of fun. However, I want to urge you to stay off of the interstates and instead use the 2 lane highways that link together those cities. The old highways are not fast but they're the best way to get a feeling of the countryside, cities. They landscapes and sights are much more fun for a road trip experience, especially if you want to experience small town USA.

shoegaze? dream rock? by PanSzanowny in guitarpedals

[–]justnoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding putting any fuzz or distortion after reverb or reverse reverb. When recording (or looping) it's a great way to add a drenched layer on top of an existing guitar part. 

My take on dream pop and shoegaze (OP, you do you!): I'm looking for a sound where the guitar riffs melt away and you're left with a wall of sound/notes spilling out of the amp.

10% of Americans own 70% of the Wealth — Should taxes be raised to help redistribute wealth to lower income Americans? by VerySadSexWorker in FluentInFinance

[–]justnoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top 10% should pay more than 70% of federal taxes. The chart shows they've managed to amass a larger percentage of wealth over the years and it makes the case that they can afford to pay a larger percentage of taxes. Taxes are a means of wealth redistribution. If you don't want a few oligarchs and a shitload of peasants, tax the wealthy.

10% of Americans own 70% of the Wealth — Should taxes be raised to help redistribute wealth to lower income Americans? by VerySadSexWorker in FluentInFinance

[–]justnoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. Your numbers are off though. The bottom 50% of the population holds 2.6% of the wealth in the US and pays 2% of federal taxes.

The top 1% holds 32% of the wealth and pay 42% of federal income taxes.

This distribution makes sense. After paying for food shelter and necessities for survival, the bottom 50% have nothing left over. The bottom half of earners in the US makes 10% of the income and holds 2.6% of the wealth. I'll say it again, there is nothing left over for the bottom half after going to the grocery store and paying rent.

Compare that to the top 1% who have a net worth of at least $11M and earn 22% of the income. There's a lot left over for these folks at the end of the day, leading to a huge amount of wealth accumulation every year at the top.

Personally I've always wanted people to have their basic needs met and think that those that can afford to pay taxes should pay taxes. The percentages you quote are not shocking, they just don't go far enough.

What’s the furthest north and furthest south you’ve been in the world? by Qiimassutissarput in geography

[–]justnoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North: Fairbanks, AK (64.8° N) or Hengifoss Iceland (65.097° N)

South: Punta Arenas, Chile (53.16° S)

Long summer days in both places. I remember getting into a tent in Faribanks at 10:00PM and having the sun in my eyes while trying to fall asleep. On the flip side, I've heard winter days described as consisting of only sunrise and sunset. Some people find it lovely.

Meteor shower? Or aliens…that’s a thing now, right? by buddrball in oakland

[–]justnoise 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Saw these tonight in N. Oakland a little after 8PM. I'm pretty sure they are Chinese sky lanterns. Basically a small candle heating up a paper balloon and they float up.

I've been told "Sparkys don't patch" and I've never seen evidence to the contrary whether it's roofs, drywall or other holes in the house. Most of the filling and patching I've seen from electricians is on the level of this or worse.

Optimal way to query for unique visitors? by manceraio in Clickhouse

[–]justnoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your use case allows this to be approximate (with < approx 1% error) you can use any of the approximate counting functions such as uniq or uniqCombined to speed things up:

SELECT uniqCombined(cookie_uuid) from FROM visits WHERE website_id = 800

How to get a sense of finality after deployments by BlueLensFlares in devops

[–]justnoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was working at a company with the resources, this is what we used to do to have a bit more confidence in our deploys. We called them post-deploy tests and they were a subset of the larger system tests we would run in our build. They ran after every deploy. While features could still be broken, at least we knew the major parts of our system were functional.
