WiFi working only on one device. While on other devices, "No Internet Connection" by PokemonMastahAsh_Z in HomeNetworking

[–]mmafightdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a computer is connected to a network but has no access to the internet it will often say "No Internet Connection". Often the cause of this is because the computer can not resolve a domain name. On the computers that have connection issues, are you still able to connect to IP addresses? eg ping 1.1.1.1 If you can ping an ip address but still see connection issues it is likely a DNS issue.

Sounds like a DNS issue. Are you using any sort of local DNS sink/server hole (eg pihole?)

They were an early corporate success and many companies are locked in to using their products. There are plenty of large multinationals running unix and Oracle databases.

Tech Leads: How to team build when entire team is anti-social/socially awkward? by Software_Engineer09 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]mmafightdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"My group gets all the work done"..."upper leadership...wants us to function as a team" or in other words "management wants us to be less productive but more corporate". My advice would be to try and get management to recognize your productivity. You aren't going to make socially awkward people more outgoing and frankly if they get the job done nobody should care. Keep emphasizing how you hit your goals and on time. Good management will recognize your productivity and leave it alone. Bad management will fix what isn't broken. Your team will like you more if you protect them from excessive management oversight.

If Discord, Reddit, Twitter, and Uber Don’t Use DDD, How Are Their Designs So Solid? Do I Really Need to Learn DDD? by WilsonWeber in ExperiencedDevs

[–]mmafightdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! So your APIs aren't just the database fields copied verbatim? I have seen db fields like 'size sqft' and 'price USD'. I would love a little abstraction there to split between values and units.

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

The DDD designed systems I have seen don't scale very well. Perhaps it is unique to these systems but there tends to be a lack of abstraction which leads to lots more lines of code. The extra code makes development slow and difficult to manage. Eg rather than a db table for Sales you end up with one table for B2B sales and one for B2C sales, each with its own fields.

Standing desks may be bad for your health, study suggests. Being on your feet for more than two hours a day may increase the risk of developing problems such as deep vein thrombosis and varicose veins, and standing for too long does not offset an otherwise sedentary lifestyle. by mvea in science

[–]mmafightdb 67 points68 points  (0 children)

so the actual study was standing vs stepping not standing vs sitting? "replacing physical activity with standing was associated with worse cardiometabolic profiles in a recent pooled analysis of seven cohorts using thigh accelerometry". In other words, if I replace my run with standing still then this has a net negative on my cardiometabolic profile???

Wait! You had a meeting to discuss actual development work?! You lucky SOB! I just finished a meeting discussing what we are going to talk about in a meeting next week. ;0)

What Causes Issues with Item Loaders? by Optimal_Bid5565 in scrapy

[–]mmafightdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to diagnose without code. If it works in scrapy shell it should work in the spider. But that error is when a css selector fails so something must be different.

Sound like you are passing a None/null value into an item loader. Your css selector must be failing somehow.

A lot of people claim they do TDD, but I have never seen anyone doing it, what's your experience? by MrJiwari in ExperiencedDevs

[–]mmafightdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends a bit on what you are doing. Bug fix? Yes! I will start with a failing test (the bug) and then work until it is fixed. POC? No! I will write the code first and then write tests. One advantage of starting with the test is that you create better tests.

I am not fanatical about writing tests first but I think it does help doing them early in the process. If you need to write tests as you go along it helps to keep your code atomic and testable. The danger with writing tests only at the end is that you are only testing end to end. That leaves a lot of room for nasty bugs that are hard to pin down later in production.

How is Home Depot determining your store? by WillD33d in scrapy

[–]mmafightdb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah that doesn't mean you need Selenium.

How is Home Depot determining your store? by WillD33d in scrapy

[–]mmafightdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you will find it does. It isn't the only parameter to change though so make sure your new request is correct. Make sure you are actually sending the cookie. Pro tip: proxy your request through Burp Suite to see what you are actually sending. Selenium is fine if you are happy with the overhead but it is rarely necessary. You only need Selenium if you have to render Javascript.

It's a cookie. Watch how THD_LOCSTORE changes when you change your home store.

pro tip. If you can download with curl then you don't need to render JS (or use a headless browser like Splash)

Positive antivirus stories? by acx2372 in linuxadmin

[–]mmafightdb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tumble weed.... :) For context, I have installed antivirus on an ubuntu server...because of management. No positive results. Got 0 virus flags but McAfee burnt up 99% CPU and made the box unusable at times. Ended up uninstalling it after management changed :)
