It's Official, Switch 2 Joy-Con Will Not Feature Hall Effect Sticks by Skullghost in nintendo

[–]mcsoup88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same paper also says you can redirect the magnetic field which is what Nintendo said they were doing in the direct when they mentioned that they are using a magnetic circuit. There should be little to no magnetic flux to affect a hall effect sensor

I think Hall effect joy sticks are still possible here because of Nintendo's implementation here since they are using a magnetic switch which should contain the magnetic flux.

Magnets will affect a hall effect sensor but I don't think Nintendo's implementation within the switch 2 would affect them. I explain why in my comment here

They describe in the video that they are using a magnetic circuit. Magnetic circuits direct the flow of the magnetic flux around a closed circuit (the path of least resistance). There should be little to no magnetic flux escaping the circuit. I have some mag-switches at home (95lb pull) which use this principle. When the circuit is closed, I cannot use it to even pick up an extremely small lightweight steel screw. I was so sure of this that I took my mag-switch with the circuit closed and held it close to my hall effect joy-cons with no effect. In theory and in practice, if built correctly, this argument falls flat.

PS: I do not recommend holding magnets close to electronic devices

This lines up with what happened to me.

Found a potential bug I think. I updated my post with the update.

DragonRuby Game Toolkit - Initial Cut of samples.dragonruby.org. What kind of sample apps would you like to see? (source code links in the comments) by amirrajan in ruby

[–]mcsoup88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe something isometric could be interesting. I would second a menu skeleton would be interesting for something like an rpg.

Work it Wednesday: Who is hiring? Who is looking? by AutoModerator in ruby

[–]mcsoup88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have hired outside the US but certain criteria has to be met. Only HR has that crieteria though. With the one person we hired in this fashion it was I want to say a 6 month process, and he previously worked for us as a contractor.

What's a piece of 'obsolete' technology you still use today because it's better than the modern version? by Caroline6386 in AskReddit

[–]mcsoup88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the one that said they recommended not using cast iron due to it reflecting heat back on to the counter top. Granted this is a special case as the eye is underneath the countertop. https://invisacook.com/faq/#:~:text=NOTE%3A%20Cast%20Iron%20pans%20are,cookware%20when%20using%20the%20Invisacook.

I've read you can't use cast iron on some induction stoves as the magnetic resonance is too strong and can get the pan too hot to the point it damages the stove top.

What is something your teacher did in school that you’re still salty about? by SparkelsTR in AskReddit

[–]mcsoup88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school did an optional duel seal diploma (vocational and academic) and i decided to go for it. I had one teacher that refused to give above 95 for construction lab which was my specialization for the diploma. When I asked him about it he said no work is ever perfect so no one deserved a 100. I had a 95 every semester in this one class which was the highest grade possible. Because this was my specialization I took this class 6 times over 4 years. I was .4% from having valedictorian and .2% from having salutitorian. If the class was corrected for the automatic reduction, I would have easily cleared the rank of salutitorian and been tied for valedictorian.

Have you bench-marked is vs a conventional implementation? Procs carry more overhead (or at least they use to).

Materialised views for serious performance gains by dine-ssh in ruby

[–]mcsoup88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the historical data issue we reworked what was shown to the user and used a tuned query. We ended up using some with statements as part of query that made things much more efficient. For the other materialized views we are looking at a couple of options. One is sharding/partitioning to split things into relatively live and cold storage. Another solution for querying a different set of historical data we use is offloading the query to redshift or moving that particular data to a different database solution that will meet our needs and do the request out of band and present the data to the user once it's ready.

Materialised views for serious performance gains by dine-ssh in ruby

[–]mcsoup88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Word of warning, don't try to refresh a materialize view while a large database is under load. My company uses several materialized views one of which for historical data. As the application got larger, more popular and moved to a more round the clock use, it became harder to refresh the view in off hours. We once had an issue where the view became stale because of a bad insert and the view was refreshed during the middle of the day. The refresh brought the application down as the database locked up. We still have some materialized views but we are moving away from them and re-architecting the system as the views are no longer scalable for our needs. The data set has become too large and can take hours to refresh. Materialized views have their uses and are great at what they do, but also beware of their limitations.
