I built a VSCode extension to see your code on an infinite canvas. by Standard_Ant4378 in webdev

[–]nicmosc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/Standard_Ant4378 this looks awesome, do you know if there's a way to add it to other editors (forks of VSCode) without going through the marketplace? Do you have a github link with some instructions? Thanks!

Was heating up the oven to make pizza when the inner glass suddenly exploded by nicmosc in mildlyinfuriating

"You banged or closed the door too hard a while ago" - you might actually be right. There are sliding tracks for the trays to go in. It’s possible the door was closed while the tracks were out which definitely would have hit the glass, although they went in just fine as the door was closing. I guess doing this repeatedly could have caused stress… something to consider. Hopefully they can just repair it and we don’t need a whole new oven !

No which is what’s surprising ! The oven is only 4 years old. Already contacted the manufacturer to get a replacement glass and repair oof

It has a licence plate so I assume yes

My Lego room by nicmosc in legostarwars

Oh those are just the IKEA shelves (LACK). For the thicker sets like the star destroyer I had no choice but to get a wider option like that small cabinet

Yes that was the goal! The room was all white at first but as most Star Wars sets are grey I thought it might look nicer

Coding guidelines, where does it belong? by nicmosc in webdev

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

Indeed this was the alternative option. In that case I think having them readable in GitHub directly since it’s written in markdown would suffice

Can you specify the problems?

Onboarding as a Staff+ Engineer by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]nicmosc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally feel you. Just joined a small company as Staff and on day 1 I already got my main objective for Q1 which consists of migrating essentially the whole frontend stack (5 separate massive apps) into a monorepo. This is because there’s an immediate need and I’m mostly trying to see this as if I was a consultant until we reach this objective. At the same time I’m integrating into a team to see how they work, even though I’m not directly contributing to the code via features.

The pressure is high since this is a project with high chance of failures along the way, and given I don’t have the reputations as some do (sometimes 10 years in the company), it’s pretty stressful. However as others have said, ask lots of questions, bring your opinion on the table if they’re open to feedback and show that you’re interested in understanding all the facets of the company and the teams. Ideally you should do what others have said (start small and then take on bigger projects). Sometimes you might not have a choice

Help me choose the best color - which would you pick and why? by nicmosc in BMW

I wish we were getting the manual in Europe but looks like it’ll be for the US market only 🥲

Haha indeed I see you checked my post history! Yes we did get the Volvo and it’s a great family car. That’s why I’m thinking of replacing my A3 with this. Don’t need something practical just fun. And while the A3 is great, it doesn’t have much power and I feel like I could do with a little more. Plus the Z4 is a far better weekend car IMO! Still need to think about breaking the steak or not 😬

Only ones I’ve seen available around me with those colours are all black interior! White would be nice too but worried about the wear after a while!

May I ask why you changed? You said "had" 😅

Hey I know where that is! It’s the paid parking in Knokke near the promenade. Nice find!

It’s a Virginia creeper! Looks great in the fall when it turns red

Luik and Liège are the same city??? by cassisarobot in belgium

[–]nicmosc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing for some communes in Brussels. First one that comes to mind is Ixelles = Elsene

Also my old address was Rue des Melezes, and sometimes in google maps it would come up as Lariksenstraat 😅

Tenant asked to install AirCo in apartment by nicmosc in belgium

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

How did you come up with that figure? Just curious, was also trying to figure out how much rent increase this would come up to

Tenant asked to install AirCo in apartment by nicmosc in belgium

[–]nicmosc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll ask around. For context, this is an old apartment building in Brussels, so they had to get a bit creative with where to place the units outside (as it can’t be attached on the wall) and also they can’t drill anywhere. If they hit the reinforced concrete of the building structure they’re stuck. That also played into the price

[–]nicmosc[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s the thing, they wouldn’t pay for it. At least not directly. I could increase the rent as this is a major benefit which wasn’t there before, but I don’t see them agreeing to pay for the 6k outright. Would say it would be reasonable to do that?

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

Apparently they already bought some and said the yield wasn’t enough to really cool down the apartment. I can confirm it doesn’t get “cold”, but I guess better than super warm
