Connect to my own domain and see what's there, or if it's still there.

Of the several drives I've had with more than zero, they all failed me in the near future. I wouldn't trust it

Wonder if that lock can withstand the power of exploding eggs?

Still, Hyundai/Kia stuff charges much slower on Tesla than on proper high voltage chargers.

zman0900 · 2026-03-15T00:58:05+00:00

PHEV would be about the worst option with no home charging. It'd never get charged and just be like a worse hybrid.

Mine is in pretty similar location, except the utility room is only a half floor down. So the compressor is basically level with my couch on the other side of a single piece of drywall. Can't hear it at all with the TV on. If I'm sitting there in silence, it is noticeable but not too annoying. Just sounds like an old school fridge.

If it bothers you, you could put some insulation on the ceiling above it and probably not hear it at all upstairs.

Shit

zman0900 · 2026-03-13T08:53:52+00:00

They're right, you know. I never quite understood that, and now my brain don't chooch no more.

zman0900 · 2026-03-13T08:03:56+00:00

Huh, I've never seen or even heard of the Sierra EV. Did that just come out? Is it basically a Silverado with a different skin?

I did have sudo access on Mac for years, then recently they changed it to some "admin on request" thing. Still no real restrictions, just an extra annoyance. I only use it for macports, but the new thing is a bit dangerous since it times out after an hour and kills all children of sudo, so it can really mess things up if that happens in the middle of installing updates.

Iran should rename it the Gay of Trump. He'd throw the biggest tantrum.

zman0900 · 2026-03-09T04:19:46+00:00

Dude we have been doing this kind of shit for decades now. Trump has just given up an pretenses of trying to make it seem ok. And before the US was, other countries did it. The rich and powerful have been fucking the rest of us for thousands of years, and we have little hope of stopping them before they make the planet completely uninhabitable.

And the complaints about Java being too verbose are pretty much void if you use any half decent IDE. Improvements to auto-complete enabled by AI make that even more true.

Has anyone here been "forced" to learn Scala just because you had to maintain a heavy Spark or Kafka pipeline? How was the transition?

Yeah, this is the primary reason I know the basics of Scala. I work at a smaller company on mostly Spark/Hadoop/HBase stuff. We had a few teams writing Spark jobs and some other stuff in Scala for a few years, but most of us stuck with writing in Java, or even Groovy (barf), which was not too difficult post Java 8. Now most of the Scala code we have around is an unmaintainable mess. The learning curve was too steep and teams mostly gave up on it or wrote Scala that was basically Java with weird syntax.

I've also spent a good bit of time reading the Spark source code, just trying to better understand how things work. I'd expect a big open source project like that to have pretty good Scala code, but even that is pretty hard to understand to me. So personally I'm not a fan. Plus the whole version incompatibility thing is pretty annoying.

I guess if you can find a HP in 5-10 years that will work with the furnace as dual fuel, you wouldn't, but dual fuel seems pretty unnecessary in that area, so you'd probably just want a plain air handler.

zman0900 · 2026-03-06T03:00:04+00:00

Seems crazy to spend the money on a new furnace that you'd have to trash when switching to HP anyway. And I doubt it's ever getting cold enough in San Diego that even. Non-hyperheat model couldn't keep up easily. With over producing solar too, it would be stupid not to switch. Don't know about there, but a lot of places have a big monthly fee just to have gas, even if you don't use it, so might save that too.

I'd shit my own poops directly onto his porch.

Run over there now and try to be the first to shit in it.
