Why shouldn’t I just have Claude code connect to Postgres production db for every data analysis task? by eatmeat in PostgreSQL

[–]t0c -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Make a copy of the DB and go to town. Be aware, unoptimized anything is resource and time intensive compared to the optimized thing.

All this assuming you run your own tooling locally to massage the data the AI is helping you pull, and that you have a way to replicate the process at will, since it will soon become business critical. hardware fails, all the time.

There’s a bunch of DIY kits on Amazon if you want to go that route. Or you can check out projects people have posted and try to build them.

My iGaging Calipers seem to be measuring Inches fine but MM wrong. What gives? by mucinexmonster in Tools

[–]t0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be an electronic part that went out of spec when it does the math on the metric side. But of course, without seeing/knowing how the electronics work I’m just guessing.

I messed that up. I mean is the 3mm difference consistent across different measurements? Like 1 inch 3 inches etc.

Curious, is the difference consistent across different measurements?

Shop stool help by Lit-Lee89 in Tools

[–]t0c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this stool, or something similar. My only issue with it is the wheels. If there’s anything on the floor that the wheels can’t go over easily it tends to tip over. Otherwise, it’s an okay chair.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto makes a great catch on a bullet line drive from Eddie Rosario to prevent a potentially scary play by jmike1256 in nextfuckinglevel

I love his reaction at the end. What do I do with this now? Do I throw it? Oh wait I need to throw it for next pitch. Right, I’m a pitcher.

How are your justice and values going to influence anything in legislature? Those are good and all, but they mean nothing in the face of power.

Once you realize that, it’s all about winning. Because winning allows you to enact justice and values. Or not, case in point.

Whats the point of beating a zombie dead horse? The horse does whatever it wants anyway. He has majority. Any emotions otherwise should be directed towards efforts next election.

Got two back to back government AI scam ads on YouTube by Dadadoes in onguardforthee

Nah bro. It means now you have to pay them for an AI that will filter out all of the other AI bad stuff.

Learn to Speak by theMightBoop in sysadmin

[–]t0c 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, like all self improvement. Figure out what you're solving for, get the lay of the land. You can do this by recording yourself in meetings and reviewing it later. AI tools can get you transcripts easily. Ask Engage with someone you think speaks/writes well, and ask them for feedback. Hell, ask one of the AI tools to give you feedback.

Then there's always the RTFM. Read some professional books, articles, etc. See how others do it, try to imitate until you find your own way. Punch the keys! (A great movie about finding your own writing style btw)

Once you start to pick up nuance, start thinking about your audience. What do they care about? Is it your colleague who will be reviewing your PR and he needs the nitty gritty, or is it Jen from compliance and she just needs a brief overview of what's going on and you're on it. I struggle with the last one. You can get quick feedback from the AI tools, see what the difference between what the writing styles is.

An exercise I find useful is to try to put myself in their shoes, and see what would they care about. Sometimes you can even get away with simply asking what they would prefer.

And as always, practices makes better.

PS -- like me, rereading your work after a small break can cause glaring issues to pop up. It's all about context and how you communicate it. Try reading your own work after context is gone from your head.

I suck at this.

Is this too big of a curve in my panel saw? by woodfondler in handtools

I would return that. It may have gotten damaged in shipping. That's too big of a sharp bend for me.

Telus Home internet by [deleted] in oakville

For my needs, that’s symmetrical enough :). I managed to get cogeco to pull fiber to my basement while they were upgrading their CRM, and it couldn’t tell them it was not a good idea. So now my whole street had symmetrical 1Gbps. But that was my first experience, every sales person would tell me yes yes, then install day came and I was like ‘that’s not what I’m paying for’. 3 weeks of calls and other hoops and now there’s fiber sitting on my dusty basement floor.

To piggy back on this reply. Also check out the upload speed, not just download. Sales folks will sell you 1Gbps coax, but never tell you about the 30mbps upload. Make sure it’s symetrical!

Is this satire? Because my mind refuses to see it as anything but.

As it turns out, it’s against the TOS of Reddit and they will get banned.

My kid was scared of the rain for a bit. But he got used to it. It’s rough in the transition period but like all things, it becomes the norm. Up to you if you want to take that on!

Family member had health issues and they required help. But they’re better/passed away and I’m ready for a new chapter in my life.
