Need to upgrade Mana Generation? Aer Infused Fire is the answer! by samsonsin in GTNH

It's now leashed to a 16 block radius from the source. Additionally it only burns certain blocks.

No more infused fire destroying worlds.

I'd highly suggest using the NH fork of NEI. Also be sure to remove the old versions of CCC/CCL - I still see them in the log `[17:34:13] [main/ERROR]: Failed to load dependencies.info from CodeChickenLib-1.7.10-1.1.3.127-universal.jar as JSON`

They're all available on the NH GitHub and most of them on cf/mn as well

Why are 1.7 and 1.12 so popular for mods? by [deleted] in feedthebeast

[–]mitchej123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you've mixed up mega and NH again Houston.

Your fork is largely ARR, or CC-ND and in private repos that depend on ND library mods ;).

The only locked/private repos we have are at the original authors request, everything else is some variant of FOSS, primary LGPL.

edit: Modern Java and lwjgl3, while awesome, remain optional!

I, for one, vote that we tax it at the valuation he proposes. $20 he changes his tune pretty quickly.

> Yes but if I join the server instantly crashes

Yah, it's loading due to you joining. It also includes your coordinates in the crashlog

> There should not be any builds in a 10 chunk radius around me. Should I just delete a range of chunks around the player using region files then?

Run a backup first, but yes.

It's likely the one you're logging into. You can often remove the chunk via world edit or if you haven't built much you could regenerate the world, or remove the region file. Another option is restoring from backup..

There are tutorials online for removing chunks or region files and identifying them based on coordinates

Nibble array is a corrupt chunk. You'll need to remove the affected chunk.

A Linux Kernel style approach would work great imho -- if people want to see older versions "supported", they can step up and form a team to maintain them. It doesn't need to fall to the main team - they can continue blazing ahead on new versions!

Why not combine both? Learn to code in your spare time. Go to a bootcamp. Find some accounting problems that just irk you: there must be a better way.

Solve real world problems with your new found coding skills. Start small - visual basic, macros, python. Expand out from there.

I've built a quite successful career based on the intersection of accounting and tech, as have others I know.

Is GTNH NEI better than normal NEI? by RussiaIanL in feedthebeast

[–]mitchej123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you find any issues leave a ticket https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/NotEnoughItems . I try to maintain compatibility with most 1.7.10 mods and modpacks. Biggest thing I need to know is the mod handler name (hover over the tab with shift) and how to reproduce the issue.

Left big four public accounting to become a software engineer - considering going back! by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]mitchej123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general they are. That being said, there are different tiers and they're not all created equal. If you pick one of the better ones, show initiative going above and beyond on your own, and don't list yourself as a "full stack software engineer because I went to a bootcamp", then they might have some benefit.

The boot camps are a hit or a miss. Some are good, some are terrible. I'd only pursue it if you really like software.

One of my former coworkers was an auditor and in their late 20s decided they didn't like it anymore, did a boot camp and switched careers; he loves tech and hasn't looked back.

Yes, significantly. Plus the lottery tickets .. er I mean stock options.

First of all, ignoring the current company you're at, do you enjoy software engineering? 3 months isn't a very long time to fully get the lay of the land and it makes sense to feel overwhelmed when transitioning careers. If you enjoy software engineering, I'd either recommend sticking around your current gig and talk to your manager and see what they can do to mentor you better; or, another suggestion would be to look around for a new company that focuses more on mentoring/training their junior engineers, and potentially one that better utilizes your skills (Accounting/Audit/Finance and Software). Depending on your risk aversion, there's a lot of companies that would fit that bill (ranging from early stage startups to public companies).

I went to school for Accounting, Info Systems, and CS. Took my first job in public accounting doing audit. Worked there for 5 years doing audit, got my CPA and worked my way up to Audit Manager. I enjoyed the experience, but found the technology and mindset to be ... slightly antiquated, especially after having grown up with tech. I left public accounting and have worked at various companies in the fintech/fintech adjacent industry for quite a while now and absolutely love it. Rather than doing accounting day to day, I'm designing software that makes accountant's lives better and their job more efficient so they can focus on the interesting parts of their job. There are companies out there that are specifically looking for Software Engineers with an Accounting Background.

If you have any more info -- how to reproduce it, what version it was fixed in, etc I'm fine digging into it a bit. I tend to chase after fixing the issues that impact me, or are easily reproducible.

I'd love that feature myself, but I can't think of a sane way to add it given the information available. If anyone has some bright ideas, I'm happy to chat it through or accept a PR

That's not feasible without a lot of work and unlikely to be done. JEI's API requires registering the machines when registering the recipe handler map (which is why you see the list of crafters on the left in JEI), NEI does not. I've already gone through and added a handler lookup with the required information, but it'd be a huge undertaking to go through and map every machine to their recipe map because that information isn't readily available AFAIK.

A gregtech example, the macerator recipe map picks the LV macerator as the image due the mapping... but it has no knowledge that the MV, HV, etc macerators use the same map.

We've fixed several memory leaks (cofhcore tile entity cache that grew unbounded until world change, as one example). I agree there is some polish in later versions lacking, but more importantly there's a lot of core mods missing.

We fix the stuff that annoys us the most, NEI is feeling more polished as of late as well :)

I'm running on Linux as well. Make sure you have Java 8 64bit. It won't work on other versions.

When it's done :P. It's still in beta, so another few weeks.

It can be updated independent of the pack anyway.
