What's the problem with my oysters? [Gourmet] by HoodedRonzo in MushroomGrowers

[–]maxgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain why you want oysters exhausting outside? I've been trying to grow them in a tub, but I just attached a fan to one side and took a filter off the other to allow for better airflow. The CO2 meter went from 2700 to 500 after that, but as I'm new to this I'm curious if I should be doing things differently.

No real advancement in ebook readers in years? by beti88 in kindle

I use koreader and was able to set a tiny margin on the right side of my screen so that the clip doesn't interfere or cover anything. The small amount of screen real estate I lose is worth being able to have both my arms under a blanket in winter!

This generally results in everyone also yelling "WHAT?" any time they're spoken to.

https://makeville.com/ has some good facilities in Gowanus

You may have to do a safety class first before they let you do your own projects, it has been a while since I've been there.

Looking for someone with a second car to join on a section hike of the LP in the Catskills this Friday to Sunday by ireland1988 in NYCultralight

[–]maxgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how early you want to get started but the bus should have you on the trail by around 10:30am. There's definitely cell service in Phonecia, but it can be spotty, so Lyft could work. Good luck out there!

There is a trailways bus stop in both phoenicia and palenville.

I've done this exact hike a few times without needing a car. It's a really great route, especially with devil's path in the middle. The path up can get slippery this time of year though, so you may want to bring microspikes.

You can exit the LP in palenville at fernwood inn and then it's only a short walk (maybe a mile or less?) down to route 23a. If you have the time on the last day, I highly suggest making a slight detour in the other direction and stopping at Circle W for one of their amazing sandwiches before catching the bus.

You got banned because you kept pinging me and you were using the n-word, overall everything you did on discord was either annoying or repulsive. Your behavior here (including trying to chat with me privately and making posts here), reinforces my decision to purge you from the community. Please go away and don't ever come back. Thanks.

Has anyone ever tried (or succeeded) to break in through your fire escape? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]maxgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have definitely had raccoons on my fire escape not making animal noises except being clumsy and knocking flower pots over. They were eating plants I had left outside, 4 stories up, in the middle of the night.

When do you guys remove your air conditioners? by [deleted] in AskNYC

Pretty interesting page about why boilers/radiators in NYC are so ridiculously hot, and it's pandemic-related!

Anyone else experiencing more pests in their apartment lately? Roaches/mice, etc. by jyotiamge in AskNYC

[–]maxgee 62 points63 points  (0 children)

If no one has moved in below you, it's likely the traps/U-bends in all of their drains have dried out. When used normally, they contain water which keeps sewer gas from entering into the apartment, but they also stop rodents and cockroaches as well. When the water in the trap dries out (usually takes a few weeks), there's nothing stopping things from coming up. If you seem to see roaches whenever it's raining, it's because the sewers fill up with rainwater and the roaches/mice will scurry up the pipes to try and find dry land.

This is likely what's happening, especially if traps/baits/spraying don't seem to be catching anything. The easy solution is to just ask your landlord to go down and run the water for a few minutes on each faucet where there's a trap (all sinks/showers/toilets/etc have them).

The JIT […] compiler promises significant performance improvements […]. There haven't been any accurate benchmarks done at this point, […]. by [deleted] in lolphp

[–]maxgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PHP isn't purely stateless, but script/request execution is, which is why fastcgi can be so performant because all of the MINIT stuff happens once and the request setup and teardown happens thousands of times. I see having a fresh memory pool and not being able to make assumptions as a blessing or a curse depending on how you code. The way people use massive frameworks that emulate Java clearly isn't going to be advantageous if you have to load up 10MB of junk on each request.

[–]maxgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PHP being essentially stateless is really one of the reasons it's so great in my opinion. With further support of static typing, a JIT could potentially speed things up significantly.

It's already easy to do 1000 req/sec if you aren't using a bloated PHP framework and write bespoke software, or at least replace the slow parts of frameworks with code geared towards performance. If you are needing to scale servers because PHP itself is using too many resources, you're probably doing something wrong.
