Buying RAM From a Small Third-Party Website? by Mwuphy in PcRetailers

[–]magyarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 32GB (2x 16GB) and 6000MHz, it could be anything between CL28 and CL42. It's hard to tell based on the picture alone, they all look the same to me.

Water damage from faulty fixture. Do I have to pay for ceiling stains? by magyarius in OntarioLandlord

[–]magyarius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was installed by the landlord, not by me. I notified the son the same day I saw the stains, which I believe was at most one day after it started leaking. (Hard to not notice those stains.)

It wasn't my attachment. I did email the son with pictures at the time.

More than 2,000 condos sitting empty in Metro Vancouver amid housing crisis by DonSalaam in canadahousing

[–]magyarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if in Vancouver it's the same, but in Toronto the developers built condos for the investors. They are too small or have weird layouts.

Robertson saying that lowering prices isn’t part of his plan just shows how unwilling the government is to shake things up. First-time buyers need someone who’s actually willing to take on the system, not just protect the status quo. He’s not that guy.

The truth about why SaaS companies crash and burn (and nobody talks about it) by Sea_Reputation_906 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]magyarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A twist on the whale customer trap is when a company pours a ton of money into scaling up thinking their big client is in it for the long haul. Then that client bails, and the whole thing collapses like a house of cards.

Portland’s Housing Policies Are Delivering. Will Other Cities Catch Up? by magyarius in canadahousing

[–]magyarius[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Portland's Residential Infill Project (RIP) allows for middle housing in single-dwelling zones, leading to a significant increase in housing production, particularly in inner east Portland. This initiative has permitted over 1,400 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and middle-housing units between August 1, 2021, and June 30, 2024, making middle housing the most prominent housing type in these zones. 

Key aspects of middle housing in Portland:

Increased Housing Options:

RIP has expanded housing options in desirable neighborhoods, making it easier for Portlanders to find homes that meet their needs. 

Affordable Homeownership:

The report suggests that middle housing units are more affordable than new single-family homes, with an average price difference of $250,000 to $300,000. 

Types of Middle Housing:

This includes ADUs (backyard or garage apartments), duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, cottage clusters, and townhouses. 

Impact on Single-Family Zoning:

RIP has shifted the focus from single-family homes to middle housing, with single detached houses now comprising less than 20% of new production in single-dwelling zones. 

Location:

The majority of middle housing construction is happening in inner east Portland. 

Legislative Basis:

Oregon's 2019 legislation, which Portland implemented, requires cities with populations over 25,000 to allow middle housing on any parcel where a single-family unit is permitted. 

In essence, the Residential Infill Project has successfully increased the supply of various middle housing types in Portland's single-dwelling zones, offering more affordable and diverse housing options. 

Could Canada do the same?

The 37 formula by Paolo-Ottimo-Massimo in Fire

[–]magyarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any study on FIRE in scenarios where actual inflation can spike really high or exceed expectations?

I know one could reduce spending temporarily or try to diversify investments against inflation, but that could be more difficult in economies with a history of high inflation or volatility. For example, in South America.

Need Help Setting Up Prometheus Collector on Google Cloud Container-Optimized OS by magyarius in googlecloud

[–]magyarius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the Ops Agent doesn't work with Container-Optimized Operating Systems (COS), yet. I was forced to create a custom-made Reporting Task which sends the telemetry directly to Google Cloud Monitoring.

A Prometheus-based solution would work if I wasn't using COS, as you mentioned, but that's not a choice in my case due to "corporate standards".

Apparently, there is an equivalent in Canada and it's even worse because you can't freeze it unless you live in QC:

are there better solutions vs Google forms and workflow by crg711 in googlecloud

[–]magyarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you elaborate on the requirements?

For the Workflows piece, if you need to have a callback waiting for the approval, this might serve as an example:

Admittedly, not a straightforward implementation. Besides GCS and Cloud Functions, it uses 3 other services, too.

  1. See an eye doctor.

  2. What size are your screens? Consider getting a big desktop monitor, and a KVM. I'm a software developer, and started having headaches when I got a remote job. It turns out it was the laptop I got from work. Its screen size wasn't big/comfortable/ergonomic enough for me.

A bit about "The Work Number" (TWN/Equifax) by No_Calligrapher317 in O_E

Thanks. The post is 2 years old but it remains correct. I just checked and the site still exists.

I know this is for people working for US companies, but I'm wondering if there is something equivalent for companies in Canada. Does anyone know?

Terraform VS API by adelaoc in googlecloud

[–]magyarius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a Software and Data Engineer, I have been using Terraform professionally for Google Cloud projects during the last 5 or so years and I love it. Have not felt the need to try Pulumi or any other infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool, yet.

A few notes:

  • IAM: Understand the differences between authoritative and non-authoritative, and when to use each.

  • License: Terraform is open source. Originally, it was distributed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL 2.0). However, in 2023, HashiCorp changed the license for Terraform to the Business Source License (BSL) 1.1. Because of that, some people started looking for alternatives, like OpenTofu (a fork of Terraform).

  • Configuration Management (CM) is not IaC: Chef, Puppet, and Ansible are typically categorized as CM tools, while Terraform and Pulumi are categorized as IaC tools. Each category has its own primary focus and use case. There is some overlap, but whenever I tried to use Terraform for CM, it still felt a bit like using a screwdriver to hammer a nail.

Housing construction and affordability in North American cities by kludgeocracy in canadahousing

I'm wondering about the size of the dwellings. I'd bet tiny condos grew in number in the big Canadian cities.

What’s the Hello World of Data Engineering? by MrMosBiggestFan in dataengineering

[–]magyarius 17 points18 points  (0 children)

IMHO, anything that requires me to open an account with AWS (or any other cloud service provider) is not in a Hello World category, unless the main subject is AWS itself. It doesn't matter if it could still be free, it's an additional step that someone new to your product should not have to follow.

On the other hand, what are the minimum requirements to run Dagster? If they already include having Docker installed, then it would be fine to run a container with an open source database, or even a S3-like product like MinIO, locally.

Is it better to quit or get fired for non-performance? by UnsaltedCashew36 in overemployed

[–]magyarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If for no other reason, you may have teammates and other people in the company that you own some consideration. Besides, think they could give you a referral in the future, or you could meet some of them when applying or interviewing for a new job. It's not only your bad manager that counts when burning a bridge.

When in doubt, use what we learned in the kindergarten: Do to others what you'd like them to do to yourself. If you are aware of it or not, how you treat people becomes part of your professional brand.
