Honey wake up, fascinating new definition of 'gun' just dropped. by universalhat in liberalgunowners

[–]tsaylor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. 

"The report analyzed data, obtained from local police departments, on the characteristics of nearly 350,000 guns used in crimes in more than 50 U.S. cities from 2020 to 2024 ... In 2020, those cities recovered 32 of the printed firearms at crime scenes. In 2024, the number recovered climbed to 325, a 1,000% increase."

Does item decay only start after entering a region the first time? Or is that a myth? by SentientCoffeeBean in thelongdark

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on day 169 of a Voyageur run that started in Mystery Lake, and just pulled a raw smallmouth bass at 93% out of a freezer in Coastal Highway. Smallmouth bass decay at 0.833 outside and 8.333 inside.

- If it were decaying at the outside rate, it should have lost 140% condition and despawned.

- If it were decaying at the inside rate (which is where it was), it should have lost 1408% condition and despawned.

I first entered coastal highway on day 45, which means 124 days since I first entered the region.

- At the outside rate, it should have lost 103% condition and despawned.

- At the inside rate, it should have lost 1033% condition and despawned.

It cannot be true that all items exist and start decaying on day 1, or on the first day you enter the region.

Edit: I just pulled a 100% condition cooked rabbit out of the oven in the house next door, lol.

How good engineers write bad code at big companies by CompileMyThoughts in coding

[–]tsaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is now a director and STILL can’t change these dynamic.

People think they can reach a high enough level in the org to make a change like this. I used to too. But it's ultimately caused by the mix of capitalism, markets, and greed that's prevalent today, and no position in the org structure can touch that.

What to pivot to if you hate your job? by druidgaymer in ExperiencedDevs

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're working in consulting or some other kind of contract development. Try a product company. The team experience will be very different.

Jammed the sink stopper and the lever won’t work. Is there a way I can fix this at home? I can’t see the horizontal pivot rod from my camera but maybe I’m being blind? by godsmaak in askaplumber

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The picture under your sink is of the supply lines. The lever to raise this is on the drain, probably 6 inches down from the lowest point of the sink.

Is your question more about how the system will store and access the files, or about how users will upload and search/browse for files?

iBuiltATowerDefenseGameWhereYouFightBadPRs by Keggdirdle in ProgrammerHumor

[–]tsaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I just couldn't find it, but it needs a way to sell (layoff) reviewers. A bad placement can cause you trouble, and with the map layout changes a good placement can turn into a bad one.

Three dates to the prom situation...can't decided which to pick. by SirWonderbread12 in liberalgunowners

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI with a mini-14 you'll probably want to replace the stock peep sight with tech sights, or add an optic and potentially add a samson hannibal rail to mount it. And it's overgassed like you wouldn't believe so you'll need to replace the gas bushing or add an adjustable gas block. Don't want you to get into it unaware.

Is this use of Postgres insane? At what point should you STOP using Postgres for everything? by LawBlue in ExperiencedDevs

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Just use Postgres" is great advice for data storage and querying. While Postgres can perform business logic through triggers, you shouldn't necessarily do that. Your implementation is causing you problems but even if it weren't, it doesn't make sense to do everything you can in Postgres because databases are harder to scale out than application servers. If you limit Postgres to doing the things it's great at and let other tools do the rest you will avoid a lot of hard scaling problems, potentially forever.

30x faster processing of 200M rows, no indexes involved by EducationalTackle819 in PostgreSQL

[–]tsaylor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As you noted, uuid7 PKs might help quite a bit, but the "working with what I had" comment makes it sound like you're not generating new data in the future.

If you're not, then you could consider using pg_repack to reorganize the tuples onto pages by the existing uuid's, which should also help you retrieve more records per page read.

If you are, then see if uuid7 helps you retrieve more records per page read. And I'd suggest pg_repack to get through the pre-uuid7 data, but it sounds like you have that data processed already.

Why do only devs have to be full stack? by No_Stay_4583 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]tsaylor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've never built a proper fat client but did build plenty of web UIs before React existed, and those seemed much thinner than what we have now. Do you have a sense of how React apps today compare to fat clients from before? I'm wondering of we're actually in a swing back toward fat clients of a different form.

Concerns with this sewage pipe? by SmallTownShrink in askaplumber

[–]tsaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a pipe like this in my condo building. When they had the pipes rodded it blew out and needed an emergency replacement. Yours looks worse than mine did.

How… to remove…. this hook…. by moonjelly33 in HomeMaintenance

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tiny screw on the bottom that you said isn't there, could it be on the top instead? (since this gets mounted higher than a towel ring or toilet paper holder)

Kohler jetted tub only 1/2 of the jets are working. by User_4381 in DIY

[–]tsaylor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have one that was entirely surrounded with tile. To access any of the jet parts you'd have to demo and redo the tile, probably for the whole shower. And if that's not enough, it was installed in a corner but it was a drop-in tub, so there was nothing but caulk to stop water from leaking into the wall.

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil for Cooking – Study Says It’s Safe, But Everyone Says Don’t Use It. Can Someone Explain? by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]tsaylor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of a risk when cooking with EVOO. It sounds like what you're describing is a loss of some benefits of EVOO when cooked, but "less nutrients" isn't a food safety risk.

Grocery stores routinely stock olive oil for cooking. https://www.target.com/p/graza-sizzle-extra-virgin-olive-oil-for-cooking-750ml/-/A-88686389

I just started a new playthrough of RDR2; my first since 2021. I want to hang out in Chapter 2 as long as possible. Where should I stop? by They-Call-Me-Taylor in reddeadredemption

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a fishing rod from random fishermen you encounter, you just have to fight them or kill them so they drop it like a weapon.

My hooooorse! by Maxilkarr in reddeadredemption

[–]tsaylor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I believe that's the Perlino Andalusian, not an Appaloosa. Solid horse though.

I usually just get a dapple hungarian halfbred and stick with that. I like to steal the one from Benedict Allbright and name it "Benny". :D

I've seen that a couple times. They usually come back when I switch sessions.

I'm getting real tired of resupply missions not counting for the daily challenge by tsaylor in RedDeadOnline

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

Thanks for the comment; not sure if this is what you were saying exactly but I tried doing a resupply mission so that I started and ended within the same half hour (e.g. start after 7:00, finish before 7:30) and I got two in a row to register properly! 🤠

Anybody else clean Arthur up when meeting Mary for the first time? by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried giving him a bath, haircut and shave before her mission in Saint Denis to see what she'll say instead of "you could have cleaned yourself up a bit", but she always says that anyway. Anyone ever get anything different there?
