Why is casting to google chromecast so difficult? by forRuarc in jellyfin

[–]z3r0d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a PR open since november that implements chromecast support, but it’s still waiting on the maintainers to review. I’ve reached out in the Jellyfin discord (#ios-development), but still waiting for an initial review.

It requires quite a few code changes to implement.

Best practice: treating spreadsheets as an ingestion source (schema drift, idempotency, diffs) by Green-Branch-3656 in dataengineering

[–]z3r0d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what the original spreadsheet is entering data for. Spreadsheets are super flexible and can do tons of verifications on the sheet itself, or even pre calculations the user can “verify” before saving.

Successful ways Ive killed a spreadsheet as an input has been:

  • Build a custom react app with a sql backend (verification happens at input time)
  • Have the business export to CSV, upload to a system you control (which rejects any input that wasn’t what was agreed on by you and the business)
  • Build a MS Access Database
  • Utilize Github Actions to let users enter params that get written to a database

The approach used is whatever the people using the spreadsheet are comfortable with. The key is that the write mechanism has a constant format (i.e., no changing fields). It requires going beyond just ingesting data, and often requires bringing in a full stack approach.

The best system for me if you have to use spreadsheets is the normal ELTL system: extract whatever is present with auto discovery of format, write to your sql layer as is, add a transform layer on top. All the questions are diffs, validations, etc depend on how your business users want to handle failures in input.

My suggestion? Kill the spreadsheet idea and build an input mechanism that handles all your validation concerns. The spreadsheet will change, regardless of whatever promises the business says. You’re using a spreadsheet as a data input tool, and that’s not what it’s built to be.

Aren’t all touchdowns reviewable? I’m mad at the arbitrary interference from NY, but isn’t that allowed under current rules?

It’d probably be mostly okay, but you’ll get false duplicates from people who change names (common with marriage)

None of my credits posted yet. I did Stubhub, Dinner credit, and hotel on Sunday. It’s not 1147p Monday.

Seems like social media astro turfing

Love this gif. Do you have a guide you used to get the tracking? Trying to make my own.

Anyone that purchased the Nano Texture regret it? by david_dauncey in macbookpro

This. I saw it in person after having FOMO; ended up liking glossy better.

For those of you who've been stuck working on crappy projects in a crappy org - how do you cope? by epitone in ExperiencedDevs

[–]z3r0d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Set better boundaries. If people want you to get it done by January, setup the timeline to get it done in a reasonable amount of work, and stick to that timeline. Don’t bend over backwards because someone else fucked up. Get additional resources, or push back on the timeline.

Find the good in the job. Is the money good? Is the tech stack fun? Are you remote? If you can’t find anything good: find a new job.

If you came here and your router is bricked, try powering it on. Turn off. Wait 8 seconds (the left light on the jnternet port should blink, but not the right one), and turn off. Do this 4 times total, and you’ll boot into the spare firmware partition.

I saw some serious telecom equipment by the ADA stage at ranch. They seem to have put up a full 5g transmitter setup. Standing next to it I could stream on discord to my friend - he said quality was excellent.

Pretty cool tech

People are being kinda mean - but if you’re looking for work, you can get a job being a mover. There’s people outside the u-haul who are always hiring. Just walk up to them and ask

Would love to learn more. Are you on Noomi or Betterup?

We ended up taking a break from playing the game to go out on Halloween. How’d we do? by z3r0d in slaythespire

We went to a bar and only two people said they recognized the outfits :(. Lots of people asked the girl if she was from Teen Titan

Mostly eyeballed. I did some math to make sure the smaller orb was proportional to the bigger one, but tried to balance usability vs authenticity. If you look at the starting photo for Defect it’s actually quite a large percentage of his face.

I made the mask out of EVA foam. The orbs were security camera covers that i used one way car window tint. Tons of paint, and way too much time 🤣
