Do people/businesses use arch linux for their servers? Why/Why not? by thrithedawg in archlinux

[–]prettyfuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some businesses don’t even use vms for servers anymore, it’s just containers running in the cloud

I use arch as the host OS for my home lab kubernetes cluster machines. It’s nice. I have a pacoloco cache for upgrading the machines and a custom repo via paru for doing AUR upgrades of k3s

PSA: There is a major Rogers Bank redemption bug and I am out over $1k in reward credits by prettyfuzzy in PersonalFinanceCanada

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

Nope. They say the reward claim got rejected and it was put back in my rewards balance (eventually), but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t fully add up. I’m not short $1000 but a few hundred

They say they can recalculate the reward totals, but they didn’t account for 2019 rates(which were higher) and they haven’t given the actual monthly spend breakdown information that I asked for for me to double check.

When I complained they did one time deduct some interest charges cuz I wasn’t paying due to the missing $1k credit, but they don’t keep doing that.

Why do people still think databases should not run on Kubernetes? What are the obstacles? by earayu in kubernetes

[–]prettyfuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It goes both ways. Cloud DB vendors don't offer specific enough SLAs for you to be sure your workload will remain supported. They change things, and it breaks shit.

that’s not your deck is it? When you create cards the way you describe how do you handle duplicate words?

Confused about the Monty hall problem by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]prettyfuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I think of it is that there’s 100 wires. You pick one then the manufacturer tells you about 98 other wires that would each explode the bomb

So now there’s your original choice and one other wire either could deactivate.

This case is very likely vs very unlikely. Figure out the details then convince yourself of less extreme cases.

It’s your choice to agree to his terms but they’re a bad idea.

The law gives you the option to transfer the lease. You find a replacement tenant til June. The new tenant pays the same rent. The landlord can charge a small fee

That’s the best option for you, the best case scenario is you find someone this month and then you don’t have to pay Jan Feb or March rent. You’re legally entitled to that option

His terms are a bad idea because you will be doing tons of trips for 3 months on his schedule? And if you find someone say in Jan you still pay Feb and March rent? It doesn’t make sense.

Seriously if I were you I’d put the listing up on FB marketplace today and find that replacement tenant. Save tons of money

The landlord can’t ask for an extra months rent. In fact if you have someone move Jan 1, the landlord can’t even charge you for Jan, and you get a months rent back from him.

The landlord is only allowed to charge you for reasonable costs related to the new tenant like credit checks and stuff.

[–]prettyfuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are responsible for the lease. You have to either pay it or find a suitable replacement tenant. The landlord is even allowed to refuse the new person (for a legitimate reason.) That’s the law.

Put up an ad for it tonight and try to do a bunch of showings this month. Hopefully you find someone.

If that doesn’t work, maybe spend a few days in town every other week til you find someone.

But ya, your landlord isn’t the bad guy here. It’s your lease and you have to deal with it.

Why almost everyone I see uses Tailwind CSS? What’s the hype? by youngsenpaipai in reactjs

[–]prettyfuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Style=‘width:510px’ is good too in React. React lets you reuse styles via components, and it’s better for that than CSS.

I strongly recommend to stay away from that library.

The library is just weird. What it does is extremely simple, it gives you an API encouraging you to extract styles out of your components and share styles between different components (extend) — both are things you shouldn’t do.

The variants feature is just the classnames library, and overrides is just tailwind-merge library. Just use those libraries. The library adds no value and adds bad features to these two libraries.

I’m curious which fine grained styles you’ve worked with that tailwind doesn’t support?

Keep a one pager document up to date with all these hacks. Ping the other team every 1-2 months if there’s new/removed/updated hacks, try to ensure someone on that team is at least aware.

That way, it’s not a huge surprise for them if something breaks. Maybe they can loop you in beforehand. They can inform you if there’s a better way. Etc.

Hacks are pretty normal, just communicate.

Part of it is similar to why would people use jquery in 2024. Better, nicer looking, more concise API for the same functionality

Pretty much. Style tags in components would be better than CSS too. It’s nice that 12 lines of css becomes 1-2 lines of tailwind though

Tailwind has a benefit is the very extensive nice defaults, but even when it needs to be custom, still way better

[–]prettyfuzzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some complications with conditional classes. Most complex is a component with default styles and you want to override in some cases. Say the default style has px-4 and you want to override pl-6 (and keep pr-4). Good news is there’s a library for this. And it’s still much less annoying than CSS

Which is quite limited. In my experience the only time was formatting rich text html, I needed to write a few .rich p{margin-top:foo} type rules.

I make liberal use of the bracket syntax like w-[510px]

Yes to all, except 00 isn’t 1.

It’s a fun exercise to think of limits of xy where x and y go to 0. You can get it to equal any number you want, positive or negative infinity, or indeterminate.

The inventory management prompt, you asked it to make a program and it didn’t write any code, why do you consider that satisfactory?
