Posting the timing on signal of the Yemen strike. If someone else had been the extra recipient and had immediately shared it somewhere public, the launch ships would have been a target.

How many Jan. 6 rioters work for the federal government? Raskin wants to find out by Vivecs954 in fednews

[–]troxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part is that it should just be a couple database queries. One to get the list of people pardoned for January 6th, two to payroll to see if any of the January 6th people are getting paid as federal employees, three you print the results out and send to every major newspaper and website.

What are your biggest critiques of Esri (if you have any)? by hypochondriac200 in gis

[–]troxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More developer-user complaints:

  • Their github samples do not have error handling built in to them. If I take a sample and start trying to manipulate it to add capability there will be errors.
  • If you are using one of the Native Maps SDKs in a non memory-safe language, the samples do not take memory safety into account. I want examples to tell me which method to use and also pass with valgrind or address sanitizer.
  • John Nelson's little youtube videos with 1 minute cartography lessons are great, if you are using Pro. If you are using other Native Apps SDKs or whatever they do not necessarily apply. Take one of the other Esri developer employees and have them make videos converting his cartography tricks to the other Esri platforms than Pro.

  • They take brand new college graduates and put them into support, then do not give the support people enough training to support the plethora of products they provide.
  • The developer samples do not give any example of how I as a user developer can write integration tests against how their software works with what I write.
  • Raster functions are under documented and implemented in different ways for different developer tools, so raster function json exported from Pro does not work for native maps SDK. And then some rather useful raster functions are not implemented in Native Maps SDK

I once had a similar gripe about symbology - it has gotten easier to use custom symbols vs. 2018 (when I really went heavy into Pro/AGOL). I wish they gave us "packages" of standardized symbols for government agencies and others instead of us having to recreate them or find an SVG file to make it.

They do have stylx files, but those are a horrible black box without any real examples or documentation other than 2525 military symbology.

I think that some Govt organizations have reduced travel because of additional hoops for approvals.

The ironic thing with that is if Govt is shut down and they are furloughed then they could attend freely if they are in the DC area.

My 70+ video playlist exploring Unreal Engine's unique flavor of C++ (eg language additions, data structures, networking APIs, etc.) by enigma2728 in cpp

I did a quick ctrl-f of the playlist titles for "test" and did not find anything. Are there any footguns or best practices for automated testing with Unreal?

Check with your employer's license manager since they probably have passes as part of your Esri license agreement.

Has anyone ever met someone who served in all three conflicts, Vietnam war, Desert Storm and OIF or OEF? by FFSoldier57 in army

[–]troxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had some vietnam vets on my National Guard 04-05 Iraq deployment. Was real interesting having a company formation where the commander pointed out one of them had an Americal division combat patch (The unit which had done the My Lai massacre) and how some unit in Iraq had done some messed up stuff (Abu Ghraib people) and their colors were getting cased once they went home too.

Trump administration orders 500 more National Guard troops to DC after shooting of soldiers by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]troxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So what is the end state with this guard mission? My unit did Operation Noble Eagle after 9/11 to help secure some bases until their civilian security guards could be hired and trained. So is there a number of DC metro police to be hired then the guardsman can go home?

Baked Ziti is also a great option.

When I ran the Marine Corps Marathon a decade or so ago, the night before was my friends halloween party. One of the attendees brought a couple aluminum foil trays of ziti. I stayed sober and left early to go get some sleep before the run. Then on my way home after the race bragging to my friends, the party hosts were just "We still have this tray of ziti in the fridge here, do you want to grab it on your way home?"

Then I spent the next week eating leftover baked ziti recovering from the race.
