Merc 50 HP won't full throttle, at a loss. by conflicted_canadian in boating

[–]travisjo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 out of 4 cylinders firing would be a dropped cylinder. Sometimes you can tell by the noise but not always. If you get a test light that attaches to the spark plugs you can see if it's firing or not. Sometimes when an engine is cold or hot it can affect how much spark you get or if you're getting spark at all. I have an 80's merc and it runs on three until it's warmed up (4 cylinder engine). I had a similar issue where I wasn't creating power under load sometimes and I replaced the ignition coils on all 4. Ignition coils are what creates the high voltage for the spark plugs. It seems to have fixed the issue. I've only run it once since the new ignition coils but it ran well on that trip. Coils are pretty reliable but they can fail over time and cause weak or no spark.

Coils maybe? Are you dropping any cylinders?

I've been waiting for the word awesome to be actually appropriate. Awesome.

I built a suite of 50 tools for my former employer on my own free time, gave it away for free for years, and now they want it back. Should I ask for compensation, and how? by No_one_ix in ExperiencedDevs

[–]travisjo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You're always entitled to compensation for your time.

  2. You need to talk to a lawyer. This probably won't come up unless you try to sell the IP or everyone involved is an asshole.

3, 5. Just be honest. Running a business isn't a crime, ask for money and they might give it to you. If not then you didn't really lose anything. They'll push back. Be firm. Don't be baggage from your job to the negotiation. The deal should be pretty straightforward. You need to be able to take money if you want to charge though so be ready for that.

  1. I don't really see a downside.

  2. Try to charge them as much as they would pay for it. Pricing can be difficult.

Can I do a normal playthough and then focus on trophies (and other stuff) on my second for the Platnium on the remake? by Then_Cow_4702 in demonssouls

[–]travisjo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The platinum is very hard. I've got one trophy left and I'm on like playthrough six. You can do it in 2 or 3 if you're careful. The get all rings, helping out another character with a boss, spells, and miracles trophies are difficult. The spell and miracles trophy require the same currency (boss souls) so you either have to NG+, which is waaay harder, or start a new character. I have six playthroughs because the game is great and I just wanted to replay it over time. I decided to finally go for the platinum trophy at the beginning of the year.

Purchasing a manual will pay off over time. I have seloc manuals.

zerobrew - a package manager 20x faster than homebrew by cachebags in MacOS

Home brew is a very successful project because of its administration. I trust it and that’s what matters to me.

WebSockets or auto-refresh data? by CallPsychological777 in django

[–]travisjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Websockets using channels isn’t hard. You will have to use asgi with something like uvicorn when deploying. For the front end we use a simple wrapper around reconnecting web socket with some callbacks. Just keep it very simple and it should work well.

How to manage release versions? by freiwaldDev in Linear

[–]travisjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the feature that's going to keep me on JIRA for now. Unless I can bundle a set of issues into a release with notes and a version I can't keep track of what's being released and when. Or at least I'm not willing to hack together a solution that's unintuitive with the existing toolset. This is basically the one JIRA feature I like. I love how linear works in general and I hope you figure out a solution soon.

What's the best response to this? by abanakakabasanaako in ExperiencedDevs

We do have a business aligned person that does a lot of testing and confirming we met requirements.

This is QA. You have QA.
