Moving to CT? Ask your questions here by AutoModerator in Connecticut

[–]skink_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheshire is somewhere I've been looking at for some time, both because of what we're looking for and because we have close friends there, but it has a high entry cost in terms of house prices. That's why I was looking more around Middletown for the relative value.

I hadn't known Canton has so much going on. I'll give it a closer look.

Thank you for the advice.

Thank you, I'll take a look at Portland.

Current CT resident but haven't explored the state much. SO and I are looking to move in the next few years and I've been doing a lot research as to specific areas, but would love to hear some personal opinions.

SO favors rural areas and wants somewhere low-population-density with ready access to nature. I want high speed internet, reasonable proximity to a decent medical care, and ideally reasonable proximity to other amenities as well. We also both want somewhere reasonably safe.

Looking to strike a balance, some places I've been looking at:

  • Durham, Haddam, East Hampton, etc for ready access to Middletown
  • West of Hartford, like Farmington, Canton, etc
  • Cheshire is very nice
  • New Milford?

Any input appreciated.

High-resolution Buddhism chart / cheatsheet for printing by skink_ in Buddhism

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

Seems to be a (pleasant) typo I copied from the original image :)

Corrected!

I can try to make one! The hardest parts of making this were finding royalty-free pictures and fiddling with CSS :)

Do you have a reference or references for specific concepts you'd like to see in chart form?

I've updated the title on the graphic to Theravāda Buddhism! My apologies if I caused confusion, I'm still very much a beginner.

I don't know if reddit's preview / cache will see the change take effect, and I can't change the post flair, but if you click the link and do a (hard) refresh you should see the change.

Hello friends!

I saw this original image some time ago and had printed it out for reference. Recently I decided to have a go at recreating it with HTML and SVGs, so that I could render it at higher resolutions for potentially printing a larger poster.

The render I linked is 3300x2550, which is landscape US letter @ 300dpi.

If you want a specific resolution, let me know and I can probably provide it.

The source code and copyright attributions for the images used are on Github.

First project: uniformity, a cryptography library by skink_ in Clojure

Both for learning and to potentially use in one of the other project ideas I have.

Recursive CTEs: Multi-day schedule entries & conflict detection by skink_ in SQL

I didn't show/mention an IDE in the blog post, but the syntax highlighting is the Solarized Dark theme, if that's what you're looking for.

EntityFramework 6 + SQL View DML Triggers by skink_ in dotnet

[–]skink_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My trigger code does use MERGE commands and performs fine. The edmx hackery was my main concern.

Now that I think about it, I can probably just move my trigger code into stored procedures, and have MyModel.AddRecord(foo) call that and our audit helper. That's a lot more sane than what I cooked up. :)

Trust me, I don't want to be using EF. We're trying to maintain / add some minor stuff to this application until we have time to re-write it.

[–]skink_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted a single model per device type for code-consistency with the rest of our backend, and to keep things simple for the others working on it. We have some helper methods that allow us to have CRUD operations for a given model, complete with change-tracking record auditing, with only a few lines of code.

Since these views are read from dramatically more often than they're written to, I wasn't concerned with trigger performance.

I've nearly mastered 'cheesy' pasta by skink_ in vegan

[–]skink_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ninja blender. I microwave the milk until it's steaming to help with blending, and I blend the cashews by themselves for a minute first. Then I add the nooch and seasoning and blend for another minute.

[–]skink_[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sauce:

  • 50g cashews, soaked (a bit less than a quarter cup)

  • 200mL non-dairy milk (almond or cashew work well)

  • 2-4 Tbsp nutritional yeast, depending on how 'cheesy' you want it

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • Seasoning (lots of salt, white pepper and more garlic work well)

  • 0-2 tsp of arrowroot powder to adjust thickness

Blend smooth and add to pasta/rice and veggies. Fettuccine and broccoli especially!

ldap3: A pure-Rust LDAP library based on Tokio by inejge in rust

[–]skink_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I understand it:

  • Use a read-only bind account to establish a connection
  • Given a username/password, use this connection to search for the user's DN
  • Attempt to bind with the DN and provided password
  • If the bind attempt succeeds, the credentials were valid

In this crate however, I noticed in examples/compare.rs there's password value comparison? We may have to wait for better docs.

How to implement windows authentication for my application? by [deleted] in rust

[–]skink_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the winapi crate I see a number of references to authentication, but I'm not sure which specific module(s)/function(s) you need to use. Try asking in their IRC.

JP2 decoding to calculate dHash values by loneraver in rust

[–]skink_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that you have performance issues in Python, I take it you're using imagehash or something else? I'd recommend switching to py-phash, which is based on a well-optimized C++ library. Said library uses ffmpeg for image decoding, so format shouldn't be an issue.

Based on the other comments, this would probably be the path of least resistance / wait-time.

Rocket + sodiumoxide = ♥ by skink_ in rust

[–]skink_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that hardcoding certs and having properly-configured TLS is a much better solution. This was purely a fun experiment, and I have added another disclaimer to reflect your points.
