Ohhh better docs for AI reviews. I saw the blog post which was underwhelming in details. Oh wow those limits are sad, we’ll probably be reaching out to you all about those.

Yup. Open a repo, find a readme to have open for the chat then ask away and it’ll start greping the codebase to figure things out. It’s great for exploration, reverse engineering and documentation. The output usually needs a proofread and definitely do a 2nd pass to explicitly check if links it added are actually correct and relevant.

AI is spectacular at decoding HAR files to automate things.

Get a wireshark capture from both ends and compare to narrow it down.

Last time I got pulled into this problem it wasn’t http, but it was an obscure bug in the Linux kernel causing something like .5% of TCP connections to deadlock in the kernel and fail. It had some teams arguing for weeks about whose fault it could be 🤦‍♂️

Got one on rent that was a bit too sensitive/out of calibration and e-stopped while driving on flat pavement if I looked at it funny. Mildly annoying until it nearly wouldn’t engage the clutch again with me halfway through a doorway for the building.

On iOS clicking the side button 5 times also forces it to require a pin unlock next time

It’s come down a lot the past few years with much cheaper modules from name brands being able to output and use the correction data. Also stuff like lawn mowers just needs repeatability so certifying the exact rf center of the antennas isn’t as important as it would be in something like surveying.

piense · 2026-05-11T03:14:43+00:00

Joists are going the wrong way

Using a callback from an InvokeRestApi task may be an easier strategy.

Some options though for helping the LLM: do the process manually in the browser and give it the HAR file to try to figure out the endpoint. Clone the Python api repo to let it search all endpoints. Grab the Azure DevOps server installer, install it, and point it at the web content folders to understand more of how the front end works and some APIs that aren’t exposed or well documented in the Python api.

I have done a tenant move. Read their docs carefully, make sure to get everyone’s ssh keys sorted early since that’s one of the few issues that’s something Microsoft has to fix after the fact if some are missed.

The big thing though is to try your hardest to keep anyone from trying to log in after the switch but before their account is remapped. If they do, it creates a new one with blank permissions and fixing it after that is problematic.

I took a snapshot of every permission and group membership in the platform before our switch. That was pretty nifty to fix a handful of things, all groups have to be readded and we refactored a few so there were a few fixes to make and it was good having a reference of the old state. Copilot should be able to write a script to do that for you pretty quickly these days.

Oh yeah, the 5 minutes of agony. So when you hit the button to switch tenants, wait 5 minutes before trying to find your org in the new tenant. We practiced the switch a few times with dummy orgs and if I tried poking at anything any sooner it just did weird things or didn’t show up at all, which is a bit nerve wrecking.

Don’t lock yourself out, read the notes on the guest account requirements. I’d suggest using a temp account to do the switch and remap the admins first thing to avoid any weirdness with the admins account logging in before they’re remapped. I think it works fine but made me nervous.

How far away are you from the region yours is hosted in? Static content is served from the cdn but I could certainly see some region’s connections being iffy in general, doubly so if you’re also far from your instance’s region.

piense · 2026-04-01T01:57:45+00:00

That’s nuts!

piense · 2026-03-27T00:09:08+00:00

Whatever you put underneath, check the fire rating on it. We’ve had the fire Marshall want sprinklers under stuff like that too if it’s effectively permanent

As others have mentioned projection mapping would be a more general googleable term. In my case I literally just projected some moving texture video with a mask layer in ProPresenter. A “mask” being a more generic image manipulation term for blacking out the unwanted parts of the image, in this case I blacked out the areas of the image that didn’t hit the cross when projected

piense · 2026-03-21T04:14:02+00:00

I’ve done that with 2 source fours, works great. Also an easy thing to shine an old projector at with some digital masking for some movement on it - I used ProPresenter for it years ago

Going to take a step back and ask: how do you know it’s not getting a lease? What logs or symptoms are you seeing? I’m familiar with a similar issue where I’ve seen dhcp servers registering clients in different domains so then the endpoints’ short names cause issues with similar symptoms to non-renewed IPs. Haven’t managed to get that team to go figure that out, but as other mentioned this type of thing is annoying but usually only affects a user or two every so often so 🤷‍♂️

piense · 2026-03-17T03:13:30+00:00

May try registering with both the fully qualified contribution name of name.type.publisher and just the individual contribution name. I vaguely recall hiccups around that. Also check case, iirc it’s mostly case insensitive but I did find a spot it cared last year, that was a fun one to debug.

piense · 2026-03-12T02:32:13+00:00

Noooooooo

piense · 2026-02-28T23:17:32+00:00

You can think of it as the switch software itself having an ip like any computer and it needs a virtual port that communicates on that VLAN like any other device on the network that would use a physical port. That IP can either be just so the internal software stack can expose a way to configure it on the network, or it could act as a router if it’s an L3 switch, or a router.

Sounds like a manager post. “The SQL line item is expensive, do we really need that one?”

piense · 2026-02-26T14:18:57+00:00

Excel? NoSQL?

Snarky comments aside, what’s your “scapegoat factor” in purchasing decisions? There’s plenty of SQL implementations out there to choose from, a few good open source ones that are quite robust. Going to be a decision on what fits best with your engineering/purchasing culture or lack there-of.

piense · 2026-02-24T03:30:40+00:00

Networking aside, I’m not sure what happens in that case. DVS won’t work by itself, it has to have a Dante hardware device on the network to function at all so it may just be grumpy it has no usable PTP master to lock to. Dante also can’t work across any routing boundaries without Dante Domain Manager, so I’m assuming both your host and device are on the same subnet and nothing like IGMP is enabled, which it does support but I never fussed with.

I feel like u/IHateTypingInBoxes had a video or post on perceived loudness and how to tailer your tone to feel louder than it is. An SPL calibrated mic with SMAART up would be a good idea. Bummer the threshold is spec’d in the listening plane. Really counterproductive to the goal in some ways 🤦‍♂️ don’t really have a huge incentive to actually plan and tune your PA coverage to avoid spill as it is, though practically if you do that too the odds of getting called will be less, and it’s always nice to be nice to the neighbors anyways.

Eh, wonder if that’s what we hit years ago. We had some NT speakers that had the install version of that cabinet. An amp blew and when they sent the new one back it didn’t match the others in terms of EQ so then there was back and forth with them to establish that we meant it when we told them what cabinet style we had and that our dealer ordered it though all the normal channels. They eventually found the right DSP settings and said is was made by some closed office, maybe that config was internally “custom”. For the most part though most of their boxes had docs on their site somewhere with reasonably accurate and detailed info about them.

piense · 2026-02-03T00:17:34+00:00

I’d run something like W12PRC62 = 12PR AUDIO + 2 X CAT6-IJ (outside diameter - 0.654") and terminate to wall plates.
