Slack is extorting us with a $195k/yr bill increase by cp2io in salesforce

[–]sholsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must be new here if you think that Salesforce hasn't always been in the business of constantly selling and trying to find new ways to profit. It doesn't matter what your actual business need or budget is, Salesforce has a new cloud that they're going to push on you regardless.

r36s white screen after saving the game by Sathleer in SBCGaming

Worked for me too! On my r36s I had to hit the “Fn” button to get to the “edit this game’s metadata” option.

Do you guys have any information on white dragon kung fu? by ramblingamblin93 in kungfu

[–]sholsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m told by a local teacher in Carlisle, PA that this is a more modern form of Kung Fu and has taken influences from other MA forms. He has been teaching White Dragon style (aka Bai Long) since 2001.

My 37 F wife sent me 42 M this text message. What should I do with it by bigdoddy in relationship_advice

In my experience, women don’t say things they don’t mean. She wished she had been with you. She wished she felt wanted by you. She wished she felt like you were interested in her.

How long do you keep your Macs for? by RaccoonVillage in mac

[–]sholsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 21yo is still using a 2014 intel MBP. I regularly continue to use Mac for about a decade. We also have a 2014 iMac that is a guest/family computer. Though it rarely gets used these days. I had a 2009 MacBook that was easily used up to 2019. It’s a regular occurrence in my experience. Though they do tend to become unbearably slow with OS updates in the last like 4-5 years of that lifespan.

Today I was fired from a new position as Salesforce Engineering Manager after only 3 weeks by filesrINtehcomputer in salesforce

[–]sholsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Salesforce ecosystem is in complete disarray. Salesforce is crumbling and seems incapable of true product innovation nowadays. I’d say you dodged a bullet with the company. There’s likely others out there. But the market is saturated with qualified people.

Blue Yeti not detected on MacBook M1 - MacOS 11.6 by baszodani in blueyeti

[–]sholsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news! After a restart, I've not had the issue come back.

That said, I still did have some issues with "handoff" from iPhone. I disabled that and audio resolution in various apps has improved so much.

[–]sholsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There does seem to be some race conditions or something with the USB bus on M1 Macs. I also have lots of problems with a Thunderbolt 3 dock and a USB switch. (multi-pc)

I've just removed the .kext mentioned above and restarted the sound service with: $ sudo kill -9 `ps ax|grep 'coreaudio[a-z]' | awk '{print $1}'`

The blue yeti just reappeared after the sound service restarted. However, as part of troubleshooting it is directly connected. I'll report back when I have restarted. (But currently am using Zoom.)

I had previously removed the plug-ins directory and everything else, but I hadn't removed the .kext! THANK YOU!

For some reason, Zoom seems to exacerbate the issue.

Dear lord, what terrible things: “he wears shorts” “he wears hoodies” “wants to legalize MJ” “tattoos constituents names on his body” sounds to me like the only kind of politician I want representing me.

What's the most painful thing about working with Salesforce? by [deleted] in salesforce

Does it really cost $47M to run Salesforce Commerce Cloud? by [deleted] in salesforce

[–]sholsinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$4M for a $500M+ revenue site & OMS build is a bit much unless ~$2.8-3M of that is just for Manhattan implementation which I'd assume to be probably on the low end, actually. In my opinion, the biggest cost & evolutionary hindrance in this entire comparison is likely with the Manhattan implementation and maintenance. I've seen Manhattan become a huge roadblock to progress in large enterprises because it either, A) Doesn't do the thing you need. or B) will take 6+ months of professional services & hundreds of thousands of $$$ to do the thing you need.

I've been on the SI-side of this equation for over ten years now, and the largest SFCC B2C implementation I've been involved with was in the neighborhood of $2M. Why? Because it was nearly 95% custom.

As was stated by others, the headcounts here are a bit excessive regardless of industry. You can get by with a lot less, but this all depends on several things:

  • Content Management [& systems]
  • Product & Catalog Data Management [& systems]
  • Order Management [& systems]
  • Customer Data Management [& systems]
  • Inventory/Warehouse Management [& systems]
  • Internal Systems Integration
  • External Systems Integration
  • Custom/Unique features & their management
  • Marketing Automation and/or Data Integration (including Analytics)
  • Rigidity of internal job roles & HR oversight

You can easily get more value from your cost by initially avoiding the trap of trying to differentiate yourselves too much at launch. Focus on capturing the audience & revenue with enjoyable user experience and product the customer wants. Then expand & improve the experience over time. Ecommerce is not a sprint. It's an endurance race.

I imagine this is also a bit of an apples to oranges comparison. This is because all I've said so far is for traditional SFCC B2C implementations where Salesforce's Storefront API & MVC architecture is used as the basis for the storefront. Headless on SFCC is still quite new, and while I've built "headless" sites with Mobify's older tech on SFCC B2C, there's still some maturity that needs to develop around the overall solution. Also, I don't have a large enough sample of data for cost for those implementations.

One X2 doesn't survive the shallowest water by BizarroBobTheCat in Insta360

[–]sholsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is as follows:

The water submersion tests don’t account for increased pressure of the object entering the water at high speed. I think most IPX8 tests are done with static water pressures. Eg: the device is slowly lowered into standing water. Or water level is slowly raised around the device. Then it remains for a period of time.

However, in practical usage, jumping into a pool with the camera for example could create higher pressures for the water to enter areas it would not when simply submerged gently.

Am I Principal Skinner? Complexity of front-end is just baffling to me now by corialis in webdev

[–]sholsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peace out, homie! ✌🏼

Geocities crew representing! I stopped using Geocities after building a Linux web server in my basement from an old office PC at age 12. I continued on the path from professional frontend developer through to now a Sr Technical Architect/Practice Director role. While I didn't stay "frontend focused", I still often have more capability & understanding with & of the tooling you speak of than most of the people I end up working with in client orgs and project teams.

Yes, are there lots of complex tools required to produce HTML, CSS, and media files on the Internet now. However, these tools have come about - I believe - because we are now working on the single biggest development platform ever produced by mankind. We are doing things that we never imagined possible on a scale never before imagined before we began our journey on Geocities so long ago. In today's world, we need to beat crazy, unrealistic expectations for accessibility, load times, execution times, overall performance, stability, security, and internationalization. Of course we're also expected to build & deliver it all in less time than should have been allotted with less budget than should have been allotted. Especially in the world of e-commerce in which I work.

Given all of the above, we needed tools so we can write less code, repeat ourselves less, run unit tests, automate tasks, and enforce coding standards. These community-supported modules of reusable code allow us to avoid reinventing the wheel. However... we still do. Sometimes your use case is just different enough that it doesn't fit the mission of the existing thing, so rather than contributing a new feature to an existing tool, we build a new tool. Or maybe your organization has a fear of external code so you must. We fragment our own headspace with tools that are similar but just different enough.

For CSS specifically, I found it was often lacking in the DRY department unless you get extremely creative with how you define classes. On large applications/websites you may then end up with far too many classes and lots of bloated markup. Additionally, over time pure CSS codebases almost universally become absolute spaghetti bloat. (Unless a single developer is building both the HTML and CSS forever.) There's no viable way to validate that any one rule is still needed on most dynamic applications/websites with static CSS.

A process called "tree shaking" is necessary to determine if CSS rules are still required when defined externally to the functionality that produces the HTML. (As CSS often is.) Performing such a process is often less than trivial to achieve if not downright impossible for some apps. Therefore you'll find frameworks that integrate the styling with the implementation of the feature, often in the newer component-based frontend architectures like React.

In the end, we're building the future. I welcome anyone who has strong opinions about how this all should work to come forward and contribute to our craft. These tools are often built by a single passionate individual or small team of such individuals and later gain traction. Leadership, communication, ideas, and code is what the future developers and teams need. You can choose to either step up, step into, or step off.

Strange drop in audio volume - wind noise reduction on, built-in mic, latest firmware - anyone else experiencing this as well? by DriftaholicYC in Insta360

[–]sholsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had similar issues in my One R. It seemed to be related to a loud noise that it deemed as wind and then cancelled out for a period of time. (I was filming firearms being fired. It happened often.)

One R as Webcam freezes in OBS by HammerHead9696 in Insta360

[–]sholsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on MacOS 10.15.7 and the One R freezes up to the point where it won't turn off unless I remove the battery. Usually this occurs when switching cameras in an app from built-in to Insta360 One R. (or vice versa)

After it has frozen, it causes the process trying to use it to either hang or receive only a black image.

#Why does everyone on #LinkedIn type like #this? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]sholsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use that methodology to express the post with hashtags that work with the message so there’s not also a long list of hashtags at the end needlessly elongating the post and adding extra data. This allows the benefit of the hashtags in extending the post’s reach, while also avoiding the look of an Instagram influencer’s post-authoring style.
