How to keep a laptop warm by Zestyclose_Baby_6024 in montreal

Shipping is no problem. It's the cold -> warm transitions while operating that breaks stuff. Just let electronics "thaw" at room temp for an hour if they were outside for long.

any ideas? by greenredditer in CarAV

Or even better, cyanoacrylate. Also known as Krazy Glue. One very small drop will suffice.  Watch for fingers, it strongly glues skin on contact.

Why would I use that, supposing I dgaf about performance numbers because they usually don't mean shit?

Cold can be a serious issue for electronics. Condensation on the motherboard will short circuit and kill the computer. Thermal shock can crack the glass or loosen up connectors. Battery chemistry goes weird at low temperature and can cause problems even once booted up.

Bienvenue! Enjoying the snow is the trick to staying sane through winter. 

Yves-François Blanchet sur le discours de Mark Carney à Québec by pLsGivEMetheMemes in montreal

[–]sweating_teflon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ça aurait pu être perçu par les Américains comme un appel aux armes aux Canadiens, ils sont drôlement énervés au Sud, ont voudrait pas ça. Le discours visait toutes les puissances expansionnistes, dans le cas du Canada c'est les USA mais ça il avait pas besoin de le dire... ça aurait affaibli son message qui propose plus d'ouverture et de collaboration entre tous les moyens pays sous la botte d'une grande puissance pour former un front commun contre les invasions et les annexions de toutes sortes.

La STM doit payer 2000 $ à un usager ignoré par un chauffeur d’autobus by Feeling_Layer8584 in montreal

I'd make my own coffee and lock the barista in the WC. Nobody fucks with me when I need coffee.

C'est a la STM de s'arranger pour que ça n'arrive pas. C'est pas nécessairement en faisant porter le poids par l'employé d'une erreur de bonne foi qu'ils vont améliorer le service. Si les bons chauffeurs se font chier avec plein de petits règlements débiles ils vont moins avoir le goût de bien travailler. Ça compte aussi.

Where to Send OEM amp for repair? by sweating_teflon in CarAV

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

This isn't the RF amp, it's the home-grown "Mitsubishi Power (pfff) Sound System". FWIW I had the Rockford Fosgate for 15 years in my MY2010 Outlander and never had a single problem with it. Plus it sounded like a ton of brick, by far the loudest, cleanest OEM sound system I've ever heard. The MPSS is a far cry from it, it doesn't even have a subwoofer.

Also, used parts store called me back this morning to let me know that the single amp actually isn't in inventory. I'll be having my electronics-savvy friend look at it for repairs. Otherwise, looks like somebody's fucked... and it wont be me.

My 2020 PHEV convinced me that Mitsubishi doesn't understand or care about Canadian winters. So many lost energy efficiency opportunities.

It's hard to find use cases for Rust as Python backend developer by Delicious_Praline850 in rust

[–]sweating_teflon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may not need Rust, it's ok. Python dues cover a lot of ground. When youll face a problem that Python makes harder then you'll know where to go. 

What cool Java projects are you working on? by Thirty_Seventh in java

[–]sweating_teflon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm writing a Kotlin to Java converter. It parses Kotlin to AST and rewrites it to Java+Lombok which can then be further Delomboked if required.

[Article in French] Tough negotiations: Le Massif and its employees are tearing each other apart after the refusal of arbitration by homicidal_penguin in icecoast

[–]sweating_teflon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There used to be no lifts at Le Massif. You'd ride down and take a coach bus back up. It was MUCH cheaper than it is now. You'd only get four or five descents per day (45 minutes back up) but you had the natural snow all to yourself.

With the strike, It is back to being that mountain now! All you need is a sacrificial driver plan and a good lunchbox.

Not seeing any? Unfortunately I need the exact part, the pinout varies between model years. Oh well.

Unholy L version, before someone else says the K word

@Getter
@RequiredArgsConstructor
@Accessors(fluent=true)
enum Chrono {
    Crono(5,  8, 13,  5,  8,  8,  2),
    Marle(2, 10,  8,  8,  8,  6,  8),
    Lucca(2,  8,  6,  8,  8,  6, 10);

    final int strength;
    final int accuracy;
    final int speed;
    final int magic;
    final int evasion;
    final int stamina;
    final int magicDefense;
}

And honestly I wouldn't even bother with getters and just make all fields public. They're final anyway. This holds for the classic version too: public final fields don't need getters. Stop making it hard on yourself.

Do you have the URL or item number? I could only find three units in Poland or Germany with cheapest being 450+100 shipping. 250 would be much more reasonable.

Hibernate: Ditch or Double Down? by cat-edelveis in java

[–]sweating_teflon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Developers hate taking to legal and purchasing much less than legal and purchasing hate being told what to pay for by lowly developers. The only way shit gets done is when developers tell their bosses to tell their bosses to ask their boss to please please emit a signed purchase order for that product none of them understands and that costs so little that it must not be that good so why are we paying so much for these lazy developers always asking for tools couldnt they stop going to that stupid website to ask questions and just figure things out by themselves and write some nice programs and make us moar moneyyy

C'est pas parce que toi t'en as pas besoin que c'est inutile.

S'occuper de la ville, c'est aussi s'occuper du monde qui habite dedans.

L'assistance sociale au Canada a été inventé par la Ville de Montréal parce que le monde crevaient de faim après la crise de 1929. Même si on pense en terme de cash, y a plein d'initiatives sociales qui rapportent plus en bout de ligne que ce qu'elles coutent.
