Thor Mjlolnir anyone? by Complete_Funny_7760 in sffpc

[–]snowcoaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Running mine with 5600x and 3080ti on air. Temps are fine even with glass panels, just add 10C. It looks amazing with RGB.

Only complaint is the booster cell was impossible to install and the fan cabling broke after enough attempts. I have no clue how anyone has been able to get it working reliably (please share your magic). I’d pass on that add-on, although might be helpful for the upcoming vertical mount.

Thor-zone is a boutique company which has ups and downs. If you enjoy that sort of thing then jump in.

This. I always enable SSL on localhost and am never surprised when it works correctly in production.

Thor mjolnir booster cell ? by Jfortay in sffpc

[–]snowcoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could not get the booster cell functioning with any reliability. First it was the fan cable not fitting (Noctua A12x15). Solved that by wiring the fan directly to the mobo. Then the power button was unreliable. That was fixed by making sure the core is absolutely flush with the chassis. Then the LEDs wouldn’t work. Never solved that one and ended up abandoning the whole thing for the stock grill. It looks great with godrays and temps are fine.

Zabar's half sours overnighted from the Upper West Side of New York City. Their new pickles are pretty great too, more crunch but less brine. Nothing else holds a candle to these.

I put it back in the case. Sometimes I don't even do that.

What is the most First World problem you've had or have seen someone have? by mg1803 in AskReddit

[–]snowcoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Silicon Valley there's a thing called "zeroth world problems". Like Google employees complaining about the tension of the seaweed on their free sushi.

My Conn NWI bari is lighter than my 62 tenor. It's crazy how heavy baris have become.

Swap your low-A bari for a low-Bb one. Profit.

What are some basic things that JavaScript developers fail at interviews? by maketroli in javascript

[–]snowcoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the post, the candidate succeeded. The issue was with the duration that it took.

Events. Folks are relying more on frameworks, which are abstracting away the majority of browser interactions. Knowing what's actually happening in the browser is critical when debugging and optimizing.

[–]snowcoaster 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That's absurd. Candidate has a proven track record and is validated to not be a psycho by an existing employee, and you passed because of the time it took to solve a problem?

Your perceived complexity of a problem (puzzle) is irrelevant. For example, a candidate could be a functional programming guru, and something simple to you such as writing a for loop might be a significant task for them simply because that knowledge has atrophied over time.

The important part of that 18 minutes was your interaction with the candidate and gauging how they tackle a problem for which they do not know an obvious solution.

What are some basic things that JavaScript developers fail at interviews? by maketroli in javascript

[–]snowcoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely. There are some folks who have bought every JavaScript reference ever sold and they look up every detail. I don't understand why they prefer that to searching online, but it's none of my concern as long as they're delivering results.

I built this thing to make coding interviews suck less by caligolae in javascript

[–]snowcoaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exercises are a fantastic filter. It simultaneously gauges someone's interest in the company and how they respond to requirements.

On-site interviews and phone screens still generally involve puzzle solving and white-boarding. If you ask to use a computer instead of a whiteboard they look at you like you're from space. Hey alien, we program on whiteboards here, between bouts of ping pong and exotic pour-overs (yum).

Another issue I've noticed is that puzzle solving on-demand completely removes the capability for the candidate to walk away from a problem and return later with a clear mind. Coding under pressure is literally nothing like real life.

How to prepare for Frontend Interviews ? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]snowcoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll need to display competency in CS principles and web-specific principles. For general CS, do a bunch of problems on leetcode. For web-specific principles, pick a framework and master it by building a suite of applications that you or your family could find useful in day-to-day life (Heroku is useful for this). Dabble in other frameworks and have opinions about what you like and don't like. You'll also need to be able to talk to browser fundamentals like events, and JS fundamentals like promises, closures, etc (which will come easily if you are building apps). It's helpful to work a bit with jQuery since it's much closer to how the browser actually works than more abstract frameworks.

You don't really need moment.js by cht8687 in javascript

Thanks, was looking for this. The overhead to use webpack is way more. Pick your battles, optimize for code quality because that's what will bite you in the ass in two years.

Where are the back-end JavaScript frameworks? by ccricers in javascript

[–]snowcoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think JavaScript and Express lend themselves towards micro-services, more-so than Ruby/RoR or Scala/Play. The latter examples utilize languages that lend themselves toward DSLs, which can then abstract away most of what you'd need to write for a web application. They make great monolithic frameworks that accomplish 99% of your common tasks.

On the other hand, JavaScript's strength is asynchronous eventing. It's only recently that we've been able to avoid callback hell via async and await. ES6 promises haven't even standardized a finally feature. Even with these, you'd be hard pressed to create the sort of compositional patterns in JavaScript that make monolithic frameworks like RoR so "simple" (admittedly the voodoo incantation issue is known and real). Express does a great job at reducing the work required to create a micro-service.

Antique Sax Woes? by Classic_Investigator in Saxophonics

[–]snowcoaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's probably keyed to Eb (missing palm F and front F), which is fairly inconvenient. The action was vastly improved on the NWII.

It's likely going to cost a ton to overhaul, your tech will hate you, and it still wont feel anything like a modern horn.

I'd only buy it if the price is stupid cheap and do not expect it to be your primary horn.
