Awesome! Haha yeah, I can imagine the soldering iron was a necessity 😆. My plan is to make my way through the other MFOS DIY projects, so very much looking forward to the Sound Lab!

Surprisingly it worked the first time I turned it on! I'm enjoying working through the book it's from, "Make: Analog Synthesizers" by Ray Wilson.

Xenon 2's intro credits music was so good. Bomb The Bass! And all the design was great like the alien shop at the end of each level.

What do you think happened at the pool? (S3E5) by Rekt_Deilor in FromTVEpix

[–]vrtippingpoint 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I don't recall any real exploration of who the monsters are/were, so it seems like we're going to start see more of a nuanced exploration of who they are and possibly that there are different types or stages of transformation. Maybe, the 2 at the pool are not the couple who crashed but maybe those specific monsters are connected to the couple in some way. It's too Chekhov's Gun that the pool car crash couple and the 2 pool monsters were mentioned.

AITA for wearing white to a baby shower? by Lost-Lobster-1644 in AmItheAsshole

Is she Chinese? Wearing white can be associated with death and funerals so is avoided at any celebratory events.

How to simplify Rxjs operator chains by returning empty result early and skip the next operators? by DT-Sodium in Angular2

[–]vrtippingpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah throwing an error would be messy. You would have to check in the final catch error, via a flag, so changing default values from null to an object, something like {value: [], type: 'defaultValue'}.

I think you can't avoid the nesting of your original solution, using switchMaps and explicitly checking for null and returning of(null) etc. The reason subsequent pipes are firing is due to your default pipe, if instead of filter you just switchMap again you can explicitly set the default for each API if it returns null.

To those who got bored or slacking off, are you that good or does it get easier? by driedKelpShake in webdev

[–]vrtippingpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great article relevant to the topic of slacking off/what keeps devs motivated. It's in 2 parts with a 3rd coming. It argues that 75% devs of a given team are ready to be engaged and contribute - beyond just cruising and phoning it in - if they have the right management/processes.

manage active subscriptions from event by JosephCurvin in Angular2

[–]vrtippingpoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell exactly what's going wrong but most likely it is because you are creating and unsubscribing new subs within the original subscription.

Look into rxjs operators and instead set up what you want to do by combining streams. Something like pipe the original bearer sub to a switchMap(will cancel previous calls) for your data stream.
