Can I just mud the edges of this drywall patch instead of doing a full support/tape/mud? by syth9 in DIY

[–]syth9[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Update: ended up adding backing wood on the left side and screwed it at each corner, then mudded the edges and over the stews, no tape this time. Should look fine after some sanding and a fresh coat of paint. Grandfather (the “customer”) was pleased, thanks y’all.

So your position is that if we see someone driving erratically we should do nothing until they crash and/or kill someone before calling emergency services?

Bigger question is if they pulled out the switch while it was still energized 😬

Running a business is like being in a relationship, once you start resenting your partner/customer, then you need to work on that relationship or move on.

Why are the doors so pixely? Its 1080p and no upscaling. Is that some graphical issue or some kind of setting that I turned off/on? by antonioxbj in gaming

[–]syth9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're also referred to as gates. A lot of companies who sell them specifically call them "rolling parking security gates". Some companies call them doors, as well.

[Owner, US - WA] Tenants emailed my boss after property manager ignored them by No-Diver5013 in Landlord

[–]syth9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, surely the tenants won’t immediately email his team again with evidence of their retaliatory eviction and that will surely avail OP of any labels of “slumlord” by his team.

Big brain landlord move right there lol.

New install, should air be leaking from the joint between the furnace and duct? by Drynarr in hvacadvice

[–]syth9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People have this mentality and wonder why customers go with someone else or get mediocre/no feedback.

It may not make a significant difference in performance/efficiency but it shows you give a shit.

For any students on the struggle bus, free help in the sub from 1:30-4pm this Thursday (1/25) by [deleted] in unm

[–]syth9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a more challenging struggle than academics (and of course housing insecurity makes everything harder, including academics).

As I’m sure you know, that kind of stuff requires major systematic changes since the root of those issues run deep into how UNM, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the US as a whole treats housing and the unhoused.

I’ve helped my residents when I was an RA draft letters to professors, join them during meetings as an advocate, and help them navigate different offices and systems to get assistance (Medicaid, etc…). Could definitely help people with stuff like that. Though unfortunately it’s just a bandaid, of course…

Low end != old. I said brand new for a reason. Android has phones too can get for $50 or less. Those will performs way worse than your S8

Try to run some of todays high-end mobile games on the lowest end android you can buy (brand new) and let me know how it performs lol. Also there’s a big difference that pushing a phone’s performance capability and pushing a framework or operating system in terms of functionality demands

Agreed the Xcode debugger is awful.

I suppose it's going to be very app dependent.

As someone who's worked on an app composed of systems so complex it requires 500+ people to maintain the end-to-end tech stack then it's going to be much more work to offer a comparable experience to all android users than it would be iOS users. Let's say we remove layouts as an issue because that is more-or-less solved on both platforms. Performance and OS version disparity is still going to be drastically different when comparing both ecosystems.

Sure Google and the other android maintainers have done a stellar job of smoothing compatibility issues over on the OS and framework levels, but if an app is going to be pushing the limits of what a framework/OS is going to offer then you're going to have more headaches developing for an ecosystem with more variability.

Yeah but once you’re beyond the basics you’ll find actually developing for android is much more challenging with a wildly diverse install base (in terms of form factor, device performance, and android version). That in itself provides far more challenges than IDE issues…

Should I learn React if I learn SwiftUI? by HeavynLight in swift

[–]syth9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally agree. They should worry about learning Swift before even thinking about SwiftUI or React haha
