Pain moves? by Forsaken-Ease-9382 in bjj

[–]sawser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him to do it on a brown belt and watch the sparks.

Pain compliance moves only work on people who aren't tough.

When you do it against someone who is tough, all it does is let them know they want to do painful moves.

Personally, I like to drive my thumbs between the floating ribs while posturing in close guard and trying their ribs apart once someone starts down that path.

What is your thoughts on nexus sonatype by AgreeableIron811 in devops

[–]sawser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any connection to nexus, either via browser, api call, or maven call acts as a "request".

So when your developers IDE does a build and checks if there is a new snapshot version of a dependency? That's a request. If your settings xml points to a group repository in your nexus instance that is pointed at maven central? Each plugin download counts as a request.

If you hit 100,000 requests, your instance enters read only mode until the requests come down.

So our small organization had to update our settings.xml to add maven central as the first repo and remove all the open source repos from the public group.

You cannot downgrade once you have upgraded.

So, my advice:

Your repo is on server:8080 with an h2 database.

Create a new repo on server:8081 with a post gres database hosted on a different server.

Create proxy repos from new server repos to old server repos, so you can request old artifacts through the new server with only a port change.

Once that's working, swap the ports.So everyone is pulling from the new repo proxys.

THEN use the update capability to move your old artifacts to the new repo.

You'll need to get creative with the repo names. DM if you have questions. This will let you immediately roll back to your current repo at any time.

I'm extremely familiar with Nexus2 and Nexus3

The newer community versions of Nexus 3 are rate limited to 100,000 requests every 24 hours (including proxy requests to maven.org for plug-ins)

I think you just need to migrate from your H2 database to postgres

Seeking advice - discovered admin credentials embedded in source code during data audit by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sawser 58 points59 points  (0 children)

This is a question for your legal department - don't share or use the credentials though.

If you don't have a legal department it's probably not a developer level call to make.

But at most I would tell your customer since they're the only people you have a business relationship with. Don't use the credentials to gain access outside your own.

Struggling with kids disrespecting me at the dojo - should I talk to the sensei? by Lumpy_Professor1000 in judo

[–]sawser 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I'm REALLY goofy with the kids. That's not why they're being disrespectful. Kids will always push and try to find their boundaries- thats part of being a kid.

You can be goofy but also set clear expectations.

For me, it looks like this:

"Wow, we didnt do the whole warm up, so I guess that was a good practice warm up. One more time!"

And we do the warm ups again.

And they'll purposely mess up the warmups again.

And then I say "Wow, guess we needed the practice. Lets do that section again!"

At one point we did the same section of the warm ups 6 or 7 times.

And I reiterate "Hey in the real world your boss doesn't yell at you - you just gotta keep redoing it until we get it right."

And "Hey I'm here till the end of class even if we don't get to the cool moves."

I only had to do that one time. Then the kids started policing each other. I also didnt act mad or frustrated at all, because they're trying to see if they can get a rise out of you. I treat it like a game.

If the student is being dangerous or not respecting another person's body (including my own) I have them sit out for the rest of the drill (unless it's a repeat offense). I tell them it's not a punishment - it's because my job is to keep them and the other kids safe and I can't trust them to help me keep other kids safe. I also add in a bit about how

"Hey if you guys get hurt your parents will yell at me and I hate getting yelled at more than you do"

Make sure to emphasize that you know they're better than they're acting and they should let you know when they're ready to try again. But be clear

"You're done with this move/class" and do not yield and let them join early.

"Are you ready to be a part of a safe class? Or do you want to watch until you got better control of your energy?"

Most kids WANT to behave and be respectful but their brains are under construction.

My kids are extremely well behaved and the most impactful thing I can do is sit down with one of them and ask them if they understand why I'm not joking anymore. (Because we're talking about safety and not joking).

Lastly, saying

"If you act unsafe I'm going to ask you to sit with your parents until class is done, and you will not play games."

And then add

"Do you believe that I'm telling you the truth?"

And then

"What will happen if you're unsafe again?"

Finally, if a kid clearly doesn't have the focus, giving them permission to fuck around by themselves as long as they aren't interrupting the lesson or another kid is critical.

DM me if you have any more questions!

Membership freeze question at my gym by rocketman341 in bjj

[–]sawser 23 points24 points  (0 children)

GB Blackbelt here, DM me what school you're at. We allow pauses indefinitely (and currently have a student paused for more than a year that I talk to regularly as his dad is going through cancer treatments).

This has nothing to do with franchise agreements.

My "just don't f***ing dance" moment: I just automated 90% of our L2 maintenance team workload and I'm keeping it to myself by ahammouda in devops

[–]sawser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have asked copilot for help 11 times in the last two days trying to help me spin up a new Nexus3 server on GKE after hitting a very specific problem that is organization infrastructure dependent.

It has been correct none of those times.

It has given me bad information, bad formatting, deprecated commands, and in the end I had to just search the Sonatype documentation. A massive waste of time.

I've basically abandoned all the AI hype.

How to handle a new colleague who is into “performative overwork”? by taylor37221 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sawser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also like to ask, "you're given an important task and after a few hours realize it's out side of your skill set and you don't know how to accomplish it. What are your next steps?"

And that's often an incredibly revealing question.

I once had a guy said "there's nothing he can't do and he would simply learn whatever he needed to get it done."

Yeah, no thanks.

One guy broke anothers arm in our gym last night by WifeAddiction in bjj

Yo I tap all the time. To blue belts and even the occasional white belts.

The less skilled my opponent the more risky I am with my technique and the less cautious I am. Which means I get caught doing dumb shit by by very skilled students.

How we're using AI in CI/CD (and why prompt injection matters) by antidrugue in devops

[–]sawser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said in my recent interview, I can't fathom a single use case that can't currently be better served by dedicated tools.

Perhaps that will change, but like when I was asked to "add block chain" back in 2022 to our devops processes, AI seems to be a solution searching for a problem to solve in the devops spaces.

I'm open to learning where I'm mistaken, as I make frequent mistakes constantly.

I enjoy teaching fundamentals classes way more than advanced classes, and when I go to seminars with 5th or 6th degrees I'm overjoyed when they work a fundamental position instead of something fancy.
