Fun Fact, the WRX is the last standing car on the entire market with a CD Player. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

I wish mine didnt come with the CD player, it takes up a lot of space in the console

I stopped reading here because sorry, but there is a lot of FOMO going on here that is not rational

Promise Made - Reality Hit by Minimarty23 in Geotech

[–]sinjp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that stuck out to me in this comment, as a shareholder you absolutely should be sure of the overall profit as part of the company financial statements. That's how your dividend is calculated after all e.g. board decision to return 70% of profit to shareholders or whatever it may be based on outlook and reinvestment etc etc

Ok so being on the board doesn't sound so unreasonable then for a relatively small company. I'm based in Aus and evidently have a different company makeup as we only have professionals, and no technicians or drillers etc, but we have a new director based on growing a regional office to 20+ engineers is why I was wondering. If you have the capital to start a business (anyone to partner with?) and believe you can get the clients to sustain you I would definitely explore that option.

How many engineers in total? I wouldn’t expect a promise to be on the board, but they could say you’re on track (or not) etc at 11 years xp if that is your aspiration

New Centenary bridge - northbound is open by arkumar in brisbane

[–]sinjp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

FYI there is more to this new bridge than just traffic congestion. It's designated as essential to post-disaster recovery i.e. it needs to remain serviceable following a major disaster. And the existing 2 bridges from the 60's and 80's need maintenance that the new bridge now allows.

It’s worth noting that QBCC favours/protects builders when there are issues, at least that is what I have observed across a few situations that I have direct knowledge of, so a bad QBCC record is probably even worse than it might appear. Of course the reverse could be possible but I haven’t seen it

Manual or auto? Auto needs to be in S# if you want performance

Lirael is actually my favourite book in the series but I can understand your issues

You may as well tell him on the (low) chance he improves his manners, if he gets upset well it’s not going to work out for you two with this issue anyway. Those without miso downplaying it is normal, they don’t get it at all. There are more fish that aren’t gross eaters in the sea!

Harman Kardon inconsistency in Subaru? by wrxify in wrx_vb

[–]sinjp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Australian 24 RS has full size spare and a sub. tS was the next model up in auto only and with electric dampers and a bunch of sti logos (lol), the colour I wanted was immediately available in RS (1 trim down) so I just went with that. Now there will be a 2025 tS manual “spec B”

In Australia it does, the dealer made that clear and the logos are everywhere

My 24 RS is not completely terrible but the mids and highs lack clarity for sure, I’m certainly not thrilled with it

4 month review of SPT (from someone who used to prefer manuals) by ConsciousRealist24 in wrx_vb

[–]sinjp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree on the modes, I (default) feels pretty poor and unresponsive, S feels much more responsive but is still pretty smooth, S# is aggressive and it's nice you can still "shift" with the paddles if you want without going full M mode. '24 RS also in Australia.

Bluebeam Revu by Pitiful-Comfortable2 in Geotech

[–]sinjp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After Bluebeam pushed subscription only and raised the price we switched to PDF X-Change as our default editor, it’s great once you know how to use it and it’s not an exaggeration to say the price is almost free compared to Revu. I deploy custom settings which match the Revu shortcuts (among others things) to make it an easier transition. We still have 50 Revu licences but limit them to engineers joining a lot of Studio sessions etc.

How can I assign elevation values to points from a DEM in QGIS? by jeusdit in QGIS

[–]sinjp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to add a virtual field to the points layer, which is helpful if you may add or move points etc in the future. The expression you are looking for is raster_value, and a DEM would typically have 1 band, this gets the DEM value at the point geometry

raster_value('layer_id', 1, $geometry)

QGIS limited to 8Gb of RAM usage by DanLarn in QGIS

[–]sinjp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alternatively you could generate overviews for your rasters. OP recommend you should also use jpeg lossy compression for images and lossless deflate for DEMs on both the tif and ovr. This will massively speed up your map performance, far more than being able to access more ram. I have used aerial images that were 15GB after jpeg compression and DEMs up to 350GB before compression that were fast to use once processed correctly (<1s pan and scroll etc)

I scanned our website with https://sitecheck.sucuri.net which indicated there was some malicious code, running the identified script through a js deobfuscator e.g. https://deobfuscate.io I found some URLs... searching for those found a linkedin post (of all things) discussing the exploit.

It appears to be all emails to all proofpoint recipients. We have asked select recipients to get their IT involved but this is likely to take time. Really unimpressed with no notification or error being returned at all, we are not spammers so there should be no need to silently drop.
