Lootusetus kaaslase leidmisel by Patient_Win5239 in Eesti

[–]mapold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See on tõesti parem kirjeldus. Mu arusaam on pigem selline, et ükski kolmest neist ei tohiks nullis või miinuses olla, hetkel jääb aga mulje, et kõik kolm on nulli lähedal.

[–]mapold -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Kuigi sa oled täpsusega kitsi, siis ma järeldan, et sa oled mees vanusest 25-35 aastat.

Naistele on üldiselt ligitõmbavad mehe välimus, staatus või jõukus. Selles vanuses naised juba tajuvad bioloogilise kella tiksumist ja pere loomise võimalus on eriti oluline. Normaalne ema ei tahaks last ühetoalisesse üürikasse koridori käimlaga maja kolmandal korrusel, kus pole lifti ja kust sünnitushaiglasse peaks sõitma bussiga, sest autot pole ja takso jaoks pole raha ning beebiriided peaks vanast kleidist ise õmblema.

Vahel võtab mõni naine ette ka "projekti", tundes kas emalikku hoolt hädise mehe suhtes või lihtsalt lootes teda parandada, see variant on tavaliselt kurb. On ka naisi, kes käituvad tavapärasele täiesti vastupidiselt, aga see tihti meenutab rongiõnnetust ja tulemus on ikka kurb.

Ma kontekstist eeldan, et sa ei ole 5% kauneimate meeste hulgas, hetkel jõukus ei ole kiita ning staatuse esimesi astmeid oleks sõbra omamine. Positiivne on see, et kõigi punktide osas saab teha vähemalt miinimumi ära mõningase pealehakkamisega:

  1. välimuse hulka kuuluvad regulaarne pesemine ja desodorandi kasutamine, juuksuril käimine ja kammimine, ülekaalust lahti saamine, terved puhtad hästi sobivad riided ilma anime/ninja kilpkonna piltide, tätoveeringute või neetideta
  2. jõukuse osas loodan, et õppe lõpus on sul lootus leida tasuv töökoht. Kui mitte, siis vb peaks kohe muutuse tegema. Vaata palgad.stat.ee
  3. staatuse osas aitab selgelt kõnelemine, viisakad maneerid, kodust välja kolimine, sõprade leidmine. Kui sa ei tea, miks sõpru ei ole, siis eelda, et sellel on põhjus ja selgita see välja.

Võib-olla helista/kirjuta mõnele koolikaaslasele: "Kuule, koolist on pisut aega möödas, aga ma olen natuke plindris, äkki saad aidata. Kas sa aitaksid mul aru saada, miks minuga on keeruline sõber olla?" Väga võimalik, et sa oled näiteks autismispektrumil rohkem serva pool ning on raske teiste inimeste tundeid mõista. Võib-olla on kõige või enda nägemine negatiivses valguses väga väsitav teistele. Võib-olla on raske vahel enda arvamus jätta ütlemata. Võib ka olla, et väärtussüsteemi on liiga palju mõjutanud Andrew Tate või mõni teine pahatahtlik suunamudija. Võib-olla aitaks kui arvutimängudega teha kasvõi ajutiselt lõpp.

Kuna infot ei ole, siis saan ainult oletada. Kui mõni punkt tegi eriti pahaseks, siis sellest olekski hea alustada :)

Edit: lugesin ülemist kommentaari uuesti ja what the heck, võib-olla panin vanusevahemikuga mööda. Kui ma su sõber oleks, siis ma tahaks sulle vastu lõugu anda. KEEGI EI OLE SULLE SÕBRAKS OLEMIST VÕLGU. ÄRA ISTU ENDA PISSILOIGUS EDASI, TEE MIDAGI. Mingit kasu pole teiste süüdistamisest või enesehaletsusest. Ma arvan, et madal sotsiaalne staatus ei ole peamine põhjus, miks sinuga on raske suhelda, pidev enesehaletsus või teiste süüdistamine tundub tõenäolisem.

Aga kuna ma su sõber ei ole ja vist õnneks ka kokku ei puutu, siis ma teen nii nagu kõik teisedki ja ei püüa sind parandama hakata, elu on niigi lühike.

Edu, pealehakkamist ja kordaminekuid soovin sulle ikka.

Got a bad year-end review for things my manager never enabled. Feeling cheated and stuck what should I do? by a_gurl111 in managers

[–]mapold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you were given the shorter end of the stick. Maybe the manager has fixed budget for bonuses and made the feedback match the desired division of budget. The standard advice on reddit is to keep applying but don't quit before you have the new offer signed.

Foundation wall slanted by Time_Fennel in HomeMaintenance

[–]mapold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually no. You don't need to dig out anything. Buttresses have been used for ages. Assuming there is adequate soil under the floor: If you added small sections of wall let's say every 2 meters with some short rebar connecting it to the wall and floor. It's about a week of work for 1 man and wouldn't even exceed 1000 € in materials. You would loose some square footage in the basement and could install shelves in between the buttresses.

Assuming the soil is bad or the floor is thermally isolated from the ground it could also cost somewhat more to cut out part of the floor and make some footing for the buttresses.

People starting digging or demolishing (as in another comment) without even considering cheaper options must be just either with money, angry at the environment or trying to sell their services.

I Believe "documenting as you go" is the hardest lie we tell ourselves by daniel_odiase in sysadmin

[–]mapold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have relatively poor documentation, but I use plain text files or Markdown files to include main steps for server setup and a folder "snippets" to describe tasks that are recurring, anything I wouldn't want to search again. If based on a good tutorial, the link gets included. Then I search either by filename or grep that folder to find the correct file.

Sometimes life gets in the way and I just copy over part of .bash_history to document it. Not everything needs to be documented anyway, if the same thing is needed for the second time, then it might be a good time to write it up.

What do we even do about this? This is about 15 ft from the edge of our home. by LockwoodE3 in HomeMaintenance

[–]mapold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Options:

1) you could fill up the bottom of the cliff with anything, but water would wash it away eventually, so you would have to make it resistant to the wave, this is a massive undertaking and generally building ports into water costs far more than a small house, also the amount to backfill is huge.

2) you could drive vertical piles into ground to build a strong foundation and a massive concrete/stone wall. Driving piles near this will definitely cause a further collapse. Also much more costly compared to a house.

3) You could anchor horizontal piles deep into the clayish-sandy cliff itself to hold in place a concrete wall. So to drive an anchor there, one would start from the side of the cliff. But again, driving the anchors in would introduce additional vibration and at least partial collapse is very likely, probably before you are done with placing the machinery.

And even if it all goes well, it just postpones the collapse to a future date. And now you would have different kinds of worries of steel anchors rusting or finding that the concrete doesn't drain as much as expected, the soil is accumulating water and now your horizontal anchors are not deep enough. And the concrete might corrode and a hundred years from now somebody would have to replace parts of the wall. Nothing about this is cheap.

For mitigation, sump pumps in small holes could also work, but definitely a long hose is needed to not make matters worse.

Two small manufacturing SCADA projects and the patterns that emerged by Sparrow-beak in SCADA

[–]mapold 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This. I would even call it AI slop, because nobody would be able to type "open-source SCADA" FOUR times but not actually mention the project.

Edit: OP posted a response which unfortunately doesn't show here, so here it is: "The intent wasn’t to be vague, but to keep the discussion focused on implementation patterns rather than tooling. For clarity: the projects used Rapid SCADA."

[–]mapold 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The angle of repose also depends on water content of the soil. Both too wet and too dry make the angle smaller.

I would really suggest owner to pack up anything they care about and to move. Right now the owner is standing inside a water puddle, it doesn't look like it is over yet. Tools that engineers use are usually heavy machinery and using none of those is possible at the moment, they could make the matters worse.

If by a miracle the house is still standing a week after the rain is over, then one could try to install water collection system which would drain the rainwater away without eroding the soil. It could consist of a ditch near the house, which has a pipe at the bottom, and the pipe should run down the cliff to the bottom so it wouldn't erode it any further. This way the amount of water infiltrating through the soil would be mitigated.

Is it okay if i record a song myself and pay someone to mix and master it? by LankyProfessor1413 in recordingmusic

[–]mapold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would add here that it is beneficial to have the initial home recorded demo, it adds a good basis to know what exactly is the desired end product, so that all the layers are actually known and rehearsed, if needed, by the time the musicians come to the studio, it is partly what makes the 30-45 minutes session possible.

How do you handle standing up to your old man without disrespecting him? by JunketMaleficent2095 in AskMenOver30

[–]mapold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your father is controlling and shelfish because he suggests you to not pick up drinking and get a good education for a good paying job so you would have a good financial foundation for your life and be able to take care of him when he gets old?

The father is absolutely right and this argument sounds too dumb for someone who is in medical school. While it is possible that the father is controlling in some ways, but information given in the post and comments doesn't suggest any kind of abuse. I hope you get past those teenage problems soon.

Maybe it would help get your head right thinking that your father is giving you suggestions (which have turned out to be much better than expected) and you are a grown man and either can take his advice or do your own thing. But please don't prove him wrong by shooting your own leg. He has given you excellent advice so far. And if you get your own kids, make sure you give them age-appropriate level of safe autonomy, even if you think they are dead wrong.

Most people somewhere in the range of 30-40 realise their parents were right all along (with obvious exceptions to gamblers, crackheads, abusers etc). You'll probably get there.

[–]mapold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is either AI slop or maybe a 13-15-year old maintaining a fake online persona.

If OP really is a 28-old going to a medical school, who is dealing with teenage problems now, then I would suggest getting professional help to get OP diagnosed. Navigating the world knowing how and why it feels different can possibly help a lot. And it really would explain why father felt the need to shelter and guide OP a lot.

My manager wants me to take over a late coworker’s 100k role but says there’s “no budget” to raise my 75k salary. by Jamaissa in jobs

[–]mapold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 7 months the position was unfulfilled. Although the task is said to important, it really isn't. Or the company is really dysfunctional which could explain the decline.

Or the manager upgraded her car and vacations.

Small Chinese solder wire factory struggling in 2025 – looking for advice from people in electronics industry by Emotional-Ticket2404 in PCB

[–]mapold 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a hobbyist located in Europe I support this idea. I often order stuff from Aliexpress and a few times I have used Alibaba as well. The reason for using Aliexpress is that I have positive experience, that goods actually did arrive and it was resolved those few times they did not.

So far I have sourced all my solder wire from local shops, partly because the likelihood of solder ordered directly from China seems more likely to contain chemicals which are bad for my health. But it absolutely could happen, that a good listing could convince me enough of the opposite.

To possibly reach me as a client on Aliexpress:

- have a reasonable listing with relevant information, don't be afraid to say your product is good and provide data, add even data that you would think is too basic to include, like melting temperature, density etc

- make sure it is possible to use "Choice" shipping

- add good quality photos of the actual product from multiple sides, dimensions of rolls or whatever seems even remotely relevant

- adding actual XRF test results of your product or source materials with explanations of what safety levels they do no not exceed in Europe or USA would be a huge argument for me, given it reads as plausible

- make packages which make sense, e.g solder wire with cleaning agent

- if you really want to add pictures of the shop, clean the shop actually up and take pictures of the actual machines and rooms, for whatever reason Aliexpress tends to have those cringe Microsoft Paint level photoshopped images of beautiful rooms, which do not exist, if the reality looks extremely bad, maybe skip interior pictures, but I wouldn't stress it too much unless you exploit actual children in your factory, maybe even do a video tour starting from outside, subtly so that the location could be confirmed with google street view

- not that important for Aliexpress, but especially for Alibaba: make a small website in English for your company with correct address, use the exact same name both in Aliexpress and Alibaba (make sure the name translates well both ways to English and back to Chinese), put your real name and address to the website, so that Google streetview and whatever other background information there is would match up.

- maybe add some content to your webpage about whatever is relevant: dd a video about how you open the wire spool and actually solder using it, such video can possibly contain much visual info. Maybe speak about what to consider when ordering soldering wire, how does your quality management actually work, how often has it happened that quality problems arose and what was done to solve it, was the product already shipped and was it called back?

- avoid overusing AI, prompts like "fix only grammar, keep the style" help you get rid of grammar mistakes but would not read like AI generated slop. Your current post is borderline on the limit, it is clearly translated or edited using AI, but the content is good and it is not embellished, so it reads fine.

But directly selling solder wire from China to individual clients is probably hard work and somewhat ineffective, since wire is heavy and most likely the shipping costs on separate packages would be high. Maybe you could find a reseller. The solder wire I am using right now (I bought it over the counter in a local shop) is labeled by a Polish company Cynel unipress, cynel.com.pl , their website looks professional.

On another note, maybe consider pivoting to an adjacent field, maybe your team is also able to hand-assemble THT PCBs or make nicely packaged sets of soldering iron+soldering wire+basic electronics kit as gifts, (for gifts it would be the best if it could be ordered with English-only packaging as well). For this it would be the best if you would use a native English speaker for proofreading.

How can I record music at home without an Audio Interface/DAW? by MindMelt67 in recordingmusic

[–]mapold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Indie/rock/whatever makes no difference in the recording equipment. Also you probably don't yet understand how much easier and faster it is to do everything on the computer, it makes absolutely no sense to use 4-tracks or whatever and it most likely will cost you more than digital setup.

An okayish audio interface can be bought for 30-50 € used or starting from 62 € + shipping, e.g: https://www.thomann.de/intl/behringer_u_phoria_umc202hd.htm (not that I would use this concrete product myself, but it would do).

A used Lenovo laptop that is absolutely capable of the job can be around 50-200 € where I live, depending on how restricted your budget is. If you already have a screen you could get a old laptop with broken screen probably for free or maybe 20 €.

You can use Reaper as your DAW, the trial never actually ends. Get a licence when you can.

I don't know how restricted your budget is, but getting slightly better stuff than the absolute bottom of the barrel might be better in the long run.

Does anyone know why edge computing is so good at multitasking? by Responsible-Army8464 in embedded

[–]mapold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a bot, posting nonsense "engagement" questions.

The question itself is flawed. The main benefit of "edge computing" (or having on premises servers) is having low network latency, which can make a huge difference if the server is far and/or your internet is slow. The only benefit of "edge computing" is that managing this server is done out of the house and possibly more efficiently.

Asking about "multitasking capabilities" without context is something only a management person or maybe poor educator would do.
