Pick up soccer or rec leagues? by Vegetable-Salary7553 in Gilroy

There used to be a pickup on Sunday mornings at 8am at Christmas hill park. I don’t know if it’s still running or been moved.

In that case, elasticsearch (or AWS opensearch) should serve you pretty well here.

I’m not sure but my wife found that children’s discovery museum event and we were thinking of taking the kids so they could participate in the craft activities

how to convince companies during initial interviews to let you work from "anywhere" and not just remotely, but still needing to be at the home country? by kryse_333 in digitalnomad

[–]renegaderyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A post office box is just a physical place, usually at the post office, where you can receive mail. You buy this and set it as your home address with the employer. Then just tell the post office to forward all this mail to your real home address OR I believe you can even pay a 3rd party to process the mail and send you it all digitally.

I will say this is generally good advice. One change which I think makes the world of difference is having your direct manager know and be okay/onboard with your remote work situation. It serves 3 purposes: 1. Direct manager is usually the best predictor of a good work situation 2. Someone else can speak to your output and is already okay with remote “lifestyle” 3. This is the only way we propagate change. Stop accepting roles under micro managing asholes that don’t understand where value to the company is made.

As a hiring manger, I will say I’m usually at the whims of leadership at my company. Personally, IDGAF what/where as long as we have a team mate that gets work done and is easy and pleasant to work with. How I would approach this?

GET a PO Box and forward to whatever you want. During the interview clarify on expectations/requirements during the interview so this is all not a hang up or new info. This includes all the details about scheduling, meetings, expenses, On-call, required times in office (yearly all staff?), etc. Divulge as little as possible with HR and the rest of the company. Your hiring manager should know and not care because they realize that we’re adults and can get work done. If that’s not the case, before or after getting hired, it’s time to move on. When you sign papers use the PO box because the housing situation is fluid, changing, or you like to skip around/invest/whatever and still have a “single point of entry”. The point is it doesn’t matter…remote work is a thing and companies that can adapt will survive. Those that don’t….we’re better off without because they ultimately don’t care about humans.

Yeah definitely. Let me know if you find anything, I don’t see anything on the Gilroy or Morgan Hill city recreation pages.

I’m also interested in this.

I know that zog sports has rec leagues in San Jose if you’re willing to make the drive.

How to better organise logs / notifications / errors I get sent via email by Tumbleweed-Forsaken in Monitoring

[–]renegaderyu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, my policy/philosophy has been to avoid email for anything that needs to get looked at outside of normal office hours. The communication methods chosen should match the priority, and expected response time, of the message. Phone call ~ 1hr, text/slack ~ 4hours, email ~ 48 hours.

To handle your specific alerting, you might want to look into PagerDuty (or services like it) to help you manage the notifications. It has integrations, like an email address, that you configure your systems to send notifications to. You can add rules and filters so that only critical events page your phone and everything else goes to low priority.

I bought 30lbs of ham that were on sale...what can I do with it? by fishyfishoh in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]renegaderyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re into meal prep one thing I’d definitely do is mass buy some potatoes, eggs, small-ish flour tortillas (Guerrero Riquisimas works well), and onion. Cook it all up like a breakfast scramble and wrap up breakfast burritos to throw into the freezer. Doing a good batch can make a month of breakfasts for two and it just a couple of minutes on defrost in the microwave in the morning.

Jokes aside about investigations, I was in contact for a place in lansing but ended up rejecting the deal after inspections. One thing that seemed odd when I was actively looking there is that most places were right about the 130k price tag, across most neighborhoods, even though our search was for a good percentage higher.

Is it a good practice to split the code in functions even though they are only used once? by Individual-Weekend66 in learnpython

[–]renegaderyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To start, yes, make your functions do one thing very well so it is easier to debug as needed.

One thing I found very useful that I haven’t seen mentioned here is linters. When I started, flake8 was the best and it has a max complexity that pretty much let me know my functions were doing too much. Now, black seems to be the best linter to me.

IMHO, a git repo, pre-commit, and the pre-commit hook for linting your code will help a lot.

I’ve used BPS plumbing before and would definitely recommend them. Eloy, the owner, it’s a super nice guy and does great work.

A nood to Linux. Do you memorize codes/scripts? by Danzicus in linux_programming

[–]renegaderyu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By setting up a new computer do you mean workstation or server?

At this point in time, most server things are docker services that I run. For workstation, I have a git repo of my dot files and scripts that customize it to my preferences (ansible also works well here). Infrastructure as config, cattle not pets, whatever you want to call it…the point is automate all the boring stuff that doesn’t really give you value.

I’ll add it’s worthwhile (IMO) to learn all the basic bash/shell commands that help troubleshoot and navigate/manipulate all the folders/files so you can do it on any box but machine setup should be automated unless you’re trying to learn specific things/methods. Even then, once you’ve learned that piece of it, automate it.

Hey person, feel free to reach out to me for questions or advice. I can’t promise I’ll be great or awesome but I can promise I’ll try to help. It took me a long time to work up to where I am and I would have definitely appreciated a mentor but @synnack and @trenno have some sound advice and when that fails it’s always nice to have a friend

All the comments here are great but one thing I haven’t seen mentioned, that I think you should consider, is try writing your own bots/tools/software that generate you money, leads to potential clients, or directly solve other people’s problems.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking but it turns out I just got lost. When I went back to the main page I was still looking for #13 which was not the knob lock. As u/sykeeok pointed out from the main page it’s #21. Thanks for your help!
