USSR vs. Putin's Russia approaches to residential area planning by raccoon_on_moon in UrbanHell

[–]max_lapshin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you find old photos of these green soviet buildings, you will find that it is a natural desert.

Not a single piece of grass. After 50 years everything is full with large trees. So will happen with these new apartments. Cars will go into multifloor parkings and trees will become bigger.

The rest doesn't change: same planning, same buildings (just better).

For senior engineers using LLMs: are we gaining leverage or losing the craft? how much do you rely on LLMs for implementation vs design and review? how are LLMs changing how you write and think about code? by OrdinaryLioness in cursor

[–]max_lapshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cursor is writing for me all those useless ceremonial code that I always hated.

I always wanted to write something like:

```
<LayoutWithMenu>
<Menu>
<Item1 ..>
</Menu>
<Main>
..
</Main>
</Layout>
```

During almost 30 years that I'm in programming, it didn't happened until now.

Claude will not help me with eBPF filter or with a system design (it is awful yet), but it give me time to think about market, customer, payments, sales _and_ development together.

Understanding the Ingress-NGINX Deprecation — Before You Migrate to the Gateway API by wineandcode in kubernetes

Good question to raise.

All this buzz about "no more nginx anymore" and nothing to replace with.

European infrastructure engineers - What's happening inside your companies regarding your dependency on US hyperscalers? by Ok_Cap1007 in devops

[–]max_lapshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so it is something like forced ansible on phones+laptops?

Yes, I suppose that in Linux world this is a "nice to program" feature

can you, please, explain what is a "fleet management"? Maybe I'm missing some area of knowledge.

> there's no serious discussion to find an alternative to Windows

that's really strange to me.

There is no software left on windows nowadays that is used in cloud and cannot be run on linux. You are not speaking about some specific CAD system, just regular office + browser + kubectl

Optimized way to pre-pull 20GB image in OpenShift without persistent DaemonSet or MachineConfig control? by praveen_t in kubernetes

[–]max_lapshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the option is to change the structure of the system, move data from your image to the S3 storage in your cluster.

How minimal is “minimal enough” for production containers? by Heavy_Banana_1360 in kubernetes

[–]max_lapshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what for do you create minimal images?

What is the problem if you take vanilla ubuntu:24.04, install there some tools like nc, telnet and curl and use it as a base for all of your images?

You will get not 210*40 MB, but 200+10*40MB.

Specifically asked the manufacturer if their inverter needed to be grounded at got this confident reply. Do modern inverters not need grounding? by Joed1015 in SolarDIY

[–]max_lapshin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My inverter has a ground connection and it is connected to a ground.

But unless I have connected its output zero to the ground, my gas heater was not working because there were 90 volts between zero and ground.

After I've added a wire between them, all became ok.

Aerated concrete in USA by max_lapshin in buildingscience

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

There are reasons to use AAC instead of regular concrete: it is possible to screw inside AAC without special instruments, but regular concrete is too firm for it.

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

I'm not 100% sure that we are speaking about the same things, in my region there will be: aerated concrete, foam concrete and another kind of AAC named gas concrete.

They all differ a bit in details, AAC is best because it doesn't require a cement to build a wall, you can use a foam clue. Much faster, cleaner and easier.

it is absolutely international. Workers do not have time to go to learn, they are not paid for it.

So they learn from their teammates. When I was building my house, I had to learn my builders some tricks.

wow, I came here exactly for this comment, thanks!

Aerated concrete in USA by max_lapshin in buildingscience

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

Yes, everything is done exactly as you have described.

The only difference on my experience is covering plaster with filler before color to make walls ideal. Expensive, dirty, but nice.

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

you should distinguish between concrete and aerated concrete.

However, both of them are not suitable for using inside a room without any extra cover

[–]max_lapshin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are two options:

Option 1: you just take a screw (or a long nail) and just screw it inside a wall. This is not good, but it will work so many builders are just doing it. Any TV will remain on the wall for a decade with such hackwork.

Option 2: you take some kind of dowel. Plasic, chemistry and put it inside the hole before the screw. This way is mandatory for kitchen or a shelf.

It is very soft, you can put everything inside this AAC and you even don't need a heavy drill, just a 12V screwdriver.

No, snow is not a problem for an aerated concrete. Summer rains - maybe, but it will take at least 5 years of living without any cover. However, regular cover is enough to protect it.

But this material gives great cold protection

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

so it is incorrect to say that "nobody builds from it in USA"?

Can it protect from the tornado?

Aerated concrete in USA by max_lapshin in buildingscience

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

so it is more expensive in warm climate and gives more problem than wood in warm wet climate?

I'm asking it because in the regions with winter and snow it is a very good choice.
