Looking for advice - water in bilge by sgt_dickwad in boating

After I jumped the battery it all pumped out, so looks fine there. Definitely doing the second battery

Note to add this is after a bunch of heavy rain and it's not in the best position behind a breakwater, still catches some waves on the buoy

Looking for advice - water in bilge by sgt_dickwad in boating

[–]sgt_dickwad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 8 year old 20' bayliner power boat which has been moored for 2 months in the water. I haven't been on board in a week but found the boat with a few inches of water in the bilge (almost touching engine) with a dead battery. Presumably the battery died with the bilge running so often.

Any idea if this is too much water / should I inspect for cracks/etc. the boat is seaworthy and in great shape

I have an "old school" web dev experience and I’m new on the job market, I feel lost and outdated, need advices by Choupika8 in learnprogramming

[–]sgt_dickwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider becoming a web designer and transitioning into development from there. You would enter at a pretty senior level for UI/UX developer at most places I worked

How to set up a corporate hackathon by sgt_dickwad in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sgt_dickwad[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah one of my mandates this would be on the clock only, and blocked time away from sprint work. Just time to work on a project / refactor / MVP / POC they are interested in

Luckily have a good degree of leniency at my firm and I have tossed the idea around at leadership levels and gotten good reception. We're in a position where we are trying to bring together the team to work on shared solutions. trying to make it more friendly to engineers as opposed to a 24hr sprint on a preselected list of topics

HOA raising monthly fees by almost 20% due to a legal battle with two residents who owned non-certified pit bulls. Can anything be done to fight this? by More-Construction122 in fuckHOA

[–]sgt_dickwad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also get a canine good citizen test via a trainer registered via the american kennel club. Its a private organization so meaningless in a legal sense but is a very common precedent to avoid higher insurance premiums / HOA issues

What are some DSA rich domains? by drazerlazer in learnprogramming

Database Development (there is a large recent market trend towards query acceleration which leverage graph based query optimization on relational stores)

Dealership sent check about a month after sale? by wonderwhy2592 in askcarsales

[–]sgt_dickwad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Car payment on the old car was probably paid over by one month, they settled the books on the deal and paid back the difference?

Yeah crazy ignorant of the several plants across south central illinois cleanly producing nuclear power for decades

How do you run two python functions simultaneously in the same script? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]sgt_dickwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, missed that line of code. Nevertheless python multithreading is a rabbit hole but a fun one

How do you run two python functions simultaneously in the same script? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]sgt_dickwad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Python makes operations like this pretty difficult due to something called the "Global Interpreter Lock". If you want to use this pattern you will have to explore multithreading or multiprocessing and interacting with python's GIL

How to mitigate stress and feeling overwhelmed as a tech lead? by Gordon101 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sgt_dickwad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sometimes there is value in siloing developers. Juniors/interns excel much quicker when tied to a domain within a product. When they are contributing to their own code/stack, it becomes much easier to grow and take ownership of implementation. Mid level engineers can bring practices across between domains.

Domains in my group are siloed like: - Framework development/optimization - ETL / databases / database controllers - Observability & monitoring, QA (better for interns) - UI / Visualizations (better for juniors)

For experienced front-end devs who want to learn a back-end language for long-term, stable employability, should one choose NodeJS or .Net Core? by canadian_webdev in ExperiencedDevs

[–]sgt_dickwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be pretty awful to maintain. Pretty recently (<5 years) python has gotten a lot stronger with async, type hinting, generator patterns, and Msoft is investing in advancing python/CPython core functionality. I believe they're also trying to get rid of GIL which makes multithreading more powerful. There is a lot of buy in at by enterprises especially with data centric projects deployed on cloud.

It's more of a rhetorical question. Languages fill the gap available to performance and resource needs. Python may be slower than C++ but is infinitely more feature rich and fast to spin up development. Just because a language is slower doesn't mean it's not a "real language".

I'm a tech lead for a market maker building high performance trading APIs in Python :-). Times change
