nerdbaggy··on NOAA Weather Radio Outages
The website says they have 1033 transmitters and 33 are out/degraded. 96.8% of transmitters are working as expected which I think at least sounds reasonable
nerdbaggy··on Pesticides are killing the world's soils
Glyphosate 100% has an affect on the soil creatures. If you read the papers that aren’t Monsanto/Bayer propaganda a picture starts to form.
nerdbaggy··on Technical documentation that just works
I feel like there is a huge market for something as powerful as confluence but not as terrible as confluence.
nerdbaggy··on The Button Cheat Sheet
Have any examples? Just using tables to lay stuff out?
nerdbaggy··on An early look at Postgres 14: Performance and monitoring Improvements
Django has built in explain support which can guide you on the right track https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/models/querysets/#...
nerdbaggy··on Ansible 4.0
salt has been great for me. SSH is just so slow compared to always on zeromq
nerdbaggy··on Developing MLB’s Automated Ball/Strike System
Past life I have deployed high density WiFi networks. Most likely they will have a dedicated access point pointing toward the ump. With a proper channel plan I don’t see why there would be any issues. And it looks like they did switch to wired headphones luckily. 2.4 is a mess in high density environment.
nerdbaggy··on Flask 2.0.0 has been merged into master
I have moved most of my stuff to FastAPI. It’s so much more enjoyable than flask. https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/
nerdbaggy··on Peloton recalling all treadmills after reports of injuries, one death
Have you watched the video? It’s pretty jarring. The treadmill doesn’t even stop when the kid caused the tread to stop because his body was so wedged underneath it. It just kept trying.
nerdbaggy··on Florida bill to fine social media for banning politicians
I wonder if Comcast would be exempt because they own majority of universal.
nerdbaggy··on Write Gitlab CI Pipelines in Python Code
I feel like there was some weird edge cases I was having with child pipelines. Maybe it was something with artifacts, don’t remember.
nerdbaggy··on Write Gitlab CI Pipelines in Python Code
Gitlab can load its ci file from a remote web server. What I have done is generate the yaml programmatically and this gets returned from the web server. Less than ideal but it at least allows dynamic creation
nerdbaggy··on Ask HN: Is there a way to efficiently subscribe to an SQL query for changes?
It’s crazy how well it works. I was skeptical at first but one of projects has 15k complexish subscriptions and it scales amazing. A few Hasura hosts and a single Postgres instance does amazing. 8 cores Postgres instances running at about 20% utilization.

nerdbaggy··on Best practices for writing SQL queries
Does anybody else like putting from first? I find it makes the auto complete sooo much better and easier to read.
nerdbaggy··on Update on Git.php.net Incident
Kinda scary how bad master.php.net was.

- md5 passwords more or less

- “...running very old code on a very old operating system...”

- no parameterized queries

Good ones! The sensory overload kills me as well.
nerdbaggy··on FDA approves new ADHD drug for children
Touché. I guess nobody will know what it’s like to be somebody else

Go in with and open mind and read this article https://gekk.info/articles/adhd.html

nerdbaggy··on FDA approves new ADHD drug for children
Very well put!
nerdbaggy··on FDA approves new ADHD drug for children
Spoken like somebody who doesn’t have ADHD. It sound stupid but it’s the truth. You can’t come close to relating if you don’t have it.
nerdbaggy··on FDA approves new ADHD drug for children
Seems that lots of people only think ADHD people have a hard time paying attention. If it was that simple I would be so happy. Here are just a few of the things I struggle with.

- Will power. People with ADHD struggle sooooo much with will power. It’s a constant struggle with everything in life and really wears you down.

- Constantly putting on a fake front pretending you don’t have ADHD.

- Rejection sensitivity

- Feeling inadequate, and unset at yourself for not being able to perform like peers

- Emotions swinging from happy to angry in a flash

- not being able to maintain friendships

- People thinking it’s not a real condition. Unless you have it you can’t even come close to understanding how much of a challenge every day is.

- Medication only helps with the attention issue for maybe 8 hours. It doesn’t help with the other 95% of the issues

This is by far the best what is it like https://gekk.info/articles/adhd.html and here is the corresponding HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22129777

nerdbaggy··on Does Media Coverage Inspire Copy Cat Mass Shootings?
If it bleeds it leads. I don’t think there is anything we can do about it. For profit news companies will always be a thing.
nerdbaggy··on AstraZeneca may have provided incomplete efficacy data NIAID
The pharmaceutical company is littered with corruption and kickbacks. Look at any pharmaceutical company on Wikipedia

Dang, I have a lot of respect for Octave and what he has created. https://twitter.com/olesovhcom?s=21
nerdbaggy··on Why You Should Take Any Vaccine
I feel like if anybody wanted to apply critical thinking they were immediately called an anti vaxer. I think people should always question everything. And since the science and research is valid I think most people come to the conclusion that it’s fine.
nerdbaggy··on Intercal, YAML, and Other Horrible Programming Languages
My favorite thing about YAML is that I can put JSON in there instead and most programs will work just fine.
nerdbaggy··on DigitalOcean S-1
Had the same problem, and switched to Linode, much better support. They recently won some support award, not sure if it actually means anything https://www.linode.com/blog/linode/linode-wins-5-stevie-awar...
