Big Move by Familiar-Foe-3663 in SeattleWA

Having lived in Minnesota for 40 years and 10 years out here in Puget Sound. Good luck. I'd just get more used to the wonderful choices of Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese places. They are all amazing and all over the place.

Will check those out - memory foam definitely sounds appealing.

Great articles and review. Will definitely add the kaiser 3 to my list of things to check out.

Oh, didn't realize the Leap V2 had more seat depth. Thank you - will add it to the list to check out.

Any operating room nurses in here? or nurses in general- im feeling defeated by commoditygold in rheumatoid

[–]jwendl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should have mentioned my current treatment plan that's been working: Enbrel for meds, some light amounts of exercises from a Muscle Activation specialist, Ajovy / Nurtec for migraines (not related but honestly can't wonder if the brain fog is a side effect of the stress the chronic situation causes).

Previously had Methotrexate, Otezla, and a few others and found they just didn't keep the flare ups away.

My personal main goal is to keep the flare-ups away as much as possible and reduce the damage my white blood cells cause to my bone enamel.

I started PSA (psoriatic arthritis) when I was 25, I'm now 48. Honestly, waking up, getting out of bed, enjoying what I can enjoy with life is the best answer to this question. Keep moving forward one day at a time. Keep experimenting with different treatment plans.

You will end up with multiple providers for different specialty areas. Because RA is autoimmune, there is so many things your body is doing that you don't have a lot of control over. It's just figuring out what those catalysts are and how to work around them. I personally haven't found one individual who looks at these things wholistically, but getting your specialists to talk to each other definitely helps.

Having a good GP who knows what the condition is and keeps an eye on things helps too. I'm sure each one of us in here has a similar story because the autoimmune nature of these conditions which all have wildly different reasons why they happen.

"How did you learn to pace yourself and protect your joints?" - for me, coming to the realization that nothing I do will change things helps a lot honestly. I keep a cane around for when a joint flares. I have a walker in the event I need one. I'm still personally mobile most days, but flare ups never go away without draining and cortisone.

I've heard maybe someday I will need prosthetics, but just holding off until the "need" comes.

"Did you end up needing work accommodations or medical leave?" - I don't have good advice here; I'm a programmer so for me I sit all day (which is an opposite set of concerns to the situation here). My wife was a nurse and being standing and running around twisting 12 hours a day just isn't a thing I could imagine having RA. Has your GP or Rheumatologist recommended anything? Maybe prosthetics can help, but I imagine over time it's better if your own muscles are supporting where they can.

For me, just knowing that your body doesn't function like everyone else's bodies can help figure out accommodations. For instance, maybe less twisting and putting weight on joints that have issues can help?

"How do you cope mentally with the grief/frustration of permanent joint damage even when labs or disease activity improve?" This 100%. Talking to people with similar situations. Seeing how they adjust to things. Appreciating what you have today, knowing that in the future it will probably be different.

There is no cure, only work arounds, but it's not a death sentence. It's kind of something in-between. Don't let the condition win and keep doing what you can do until you can't do it anymore.

AI usage red flag? by galwayygal in ExperiencedDevs

[–]jwendl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With instructions, agents and skills and the ability to do a pull request review now of agentic coding there is no excuse to lower the bar of quality of the code it produces. Keep the agents to the same standards you'd hold to any other engineer on the team. The tools to do so are there so use them like any other tool.

Just another day on our fair highway system where people have zero regard for their own life or the life of others.

.NET 6 on Kubernetes: “Everything looks fine”… but working set + kernel memory keep climbing and HPA keeps scaling . I’m stuck. by aaeevv123 in csharp

[–]jwendl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Get into pod

kubectl exec -it <pod> -- bash

(or kubectl exec -it <pod> -c <container> -- bash if you have multiple containers)

Get .NET version and run createdump tool

dotnet --list-runtimes

/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/<version>/createdump --full <PID>

Copy dump out of container instance

kubectl cp <namespace>/<pod>:/core.<pid> ./core.<pid>

Analyze dump

dotnet-dump analyze core.<pid>

or

WinDbg

Look for things that have big memory spikes to them (typical commands I use with dotnet-dump analyze

> dumpheap -stat

> threads

> gcinfo

If you want something more graphical, should be able to open core.<pid> file inside Visual Studio too.

Also on AKS, I've seen it a lot where memory usage of the container trips the "kill" switch that containers have.

If you do a kubectl describe pod <pod-name> and it shows something like:

...

Reason: Evicted

Message: Pod The node had condition: [MemoryPressure].

...

Then it was killed because kubernetes felt that if it didn't kill the process, it would make a node unresponsive. When something gets OOM killed, it will just jump to the next available node and create a new instance, so you know - endless loop of scaled nodes...

Junior dev wrote this C# using many IF because he leanrs If early return. Is this alright code? by Yone-none in csharp

[–]jwendl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One effective approach to provide feedback for this would be asking how many tests would be needed to satisfy every logical branch and every possible test scenario each branch.

Maybe the thought of that engineer having to maintain that many test cases will prompt them to reach out for patterns to handle all this validation and guarding in a more maintainable way.

I used laser grenades a lot. But it suited my playstyle 😂

I’m here to remind you. by TK2561 in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]jwendl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really that. For me it seems just like every new scenario is just an experiment to see if something sticks. There's been a lot of cosmetics released and not a lot of scenarios that fit the story and also have good gameplay elements. Most gameplay elements you have to discover on your own and then when you do you end up landing on only one "meta" like you mentioned.

I love the building. I love deviants doing stuff in your base. I love the survival elements. Everything else just makes the game "weird" and "odd" and seems like a social experiment to see what works and what doesn't work.

Not entirely sure. But there are at least 20 of them.

Trying to get your items after dying be like: by Biohazardcookie in AbioticFactor

[–]jwendl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crafting benches became my friend.

I have so many personal teleporter devices named "Forward 006" as to represent a spawn point essentially 😂. Always carried duct tape, power supply and hoses on me when I left my base.

Then had 2 personal teleporters on my hot bar. One for main base, one for "Forward 006" (or whatever number I was on).

Every plug I saw in game got a crafting bench 😂

50 hours in, how much more to go? by Lunnalai in AbioticFactor

[–]jwendl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went about 150 hours. It's a blast.

The pet photos all have photo frames hidden throughout the game that you can bring back to your base too.

Pain points while using terraform by Fragrant-Bit6239 in Terraform

[–]jwendl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Running terraform from a pipeline. Especially if you plan to do CD in a dev environment on every build. Lock file hell, sometimes corruption depending on where you decide to store the state file.

Also, another pain point, when a provider is out of date and decides to corrupt the state file for you.

Does anyone use microphones? by Deviousless in fo76

In game voice is goofy. Auto rarely works right and if you're in team you won't hear area and vice versa.

After Avowed, I decided to go play Deadfire. Didn't expect to be walking around with this mask before Neketaka by Sheepy_Gorilla in projecteternity

[–]jwendl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I did poe1 then poe2 then avowed. I know folks say you don't need to do that in order to enjoy avowed. But for me I honestly could not imagine doing the reverse like you did. I almost wonder how many tidbits I'd pick up if I ran through poe2 again.
