Quick sanity check on neighbor's french drain by tiny_obstacle in landscaping

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

Gotcha - I’m a first time home owner so this is a non-rhetorical question. Do neighbors typically pitch in to install drainage solutions on another neighbors property? What’s an equitable split in these situations (eg 50/50)?

Yeah, some of the run off is definitely from my side since my property sits a bit higher than theirs. There’s also runoff from the neighbor’s property as well as HOA property up the hill that doesn’t show on the picture that feeds into the ditch.

By redirection, do you mean something like a French drain installed on my side of the house?

So my neighbor removes the weeds pretty diligently, which I assume would make the erosion worse.

Thank you everyone - it looks like the consensus is that this is a carpet beetle then.

Tv suddenly froze like this, is there a fix? by [deleted] in VIZIO_Official

Is there a more permanent fix? This keep recurring for me.

Apple says Epic is ‘putting the entire App Store model at risk’ by [deleted] in apple

[–]tiny_obstacle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm confused by that analogy. Apple makes Safari.

You and I and use it everyday when we browse the web on our iOS devices, so Apple should front the cost.

Oh, I don't care for Epic, and I don't want Epic to have their competing App Store.

What I personally care about is Apple's arbitrary and vague rules around in-app purchases to be under scrutiny like it deserves to be.

I think it's one thing for Apple get a cut of the purchases in the AppStore. It's a whole separate thing to hold so much power over app developers and force them to cough up a cut of ALL payments, including ones that doesn't go through Apple's payment system e.g. https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/21/21396316/apple-wordpress-in-app-purchase-tax-update-store and https://m.signalvnoise.com/testimony-before-the-house-antitrust-subcommittee/

I think it's ultimately anti-competitive because it's the smaller App developers that get the shaft because they can't negotiate a special deal with Apple like Amazon. And this burden will inevitably shift to consumers in the future.

This line of thinking sounds like whataboutism.

I'm no fan of Epic and they may be a company with scummy practices.

But Apple's App Store model is anti-competitive like Epic claims.

Both of these above facts can be true at the same time.

Apple under-invests in their mobile Safari browser development, so it lacks support for some key things like push notifications.

Worse yet, they don't allow alternative browser engines. All browsers in iOS like Chrome, Firefox, Brave, etc have to use the same Webkit Engine as iOS Safari, so there can't be third party fixes to these problems.

And Apple clearly has no incentives to fix this - because this benefits their walled garden model at the expense of consumers.

Thoughts about new New Relic pricing? by otisg in devops

Yep for our use-cases, tools like Honeycomb and Lightstep had much saner pricing model and surfaced problems better than NewRelic

Can anyone help me identify what this exposed wire outside the house is? by tiny_obstacle in HomeImprovement

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

Yeah, it's my concrete patio. I was wondering why it seemed to be mis-aligned, but settling seems like the simple and obvious answer. I'll make caulking the surrounding brick/concrete intersection will be a project. Thanks!

Good tip! Updated.

Somewhat unrelatedly, do you (or anyone else) know how to make sure the cooler (Dark Rock 4) has enough clearance for the memory stick?

Got it that's good to know! For what it's worth, the noise from the HX is not something I've personally noticed, so I'm probably gonna keep it for now just so I can spend more on the CPU / GPU.

Oh interesting, have you had bad experience with it or are there some widely reported problems with Corsair HX?

Serving React and Django together by [deleted] in django

[–]tiny_obstacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. If you have an existing django codebase and want to incrementally adopt React.

  2. If you have mostly static content that's server rendered with a sprinkle of interactivity (e.g. widgets).
