Before everything shut down last year, my local theaters played a showing of a classic film each month, often Hitchcock. The few I went to had plenty of attendees. Another local theater took the lockdown as an opportunity to do outdoor soci

Another option in this space is Tiller ( https://www.tillerhq.com/ ). They seem well-established, and offer some spreadsheet templates for plug-and-play solutions to some common budgeting scenarios. If you don't care abo

I interpreted it as brainstorming ways to actively sabotage success. "Solutions" that appears superficially plausible, but undermine the outcome in real world situations. So for the dust filter, maybe selecting a material that&#x2

The GP's example doesn't involve invalid datetimes. The datetimes aren't out of bounds or invalid in any way that a check constraint would detect. They've just become factually incorrect ("bad data"), because t

My Aftershokz are good for spoken word in noisy/trafficy environments unless I'm inside a car at freeway speeds, or operating a lawn mower. They could work in a car if they got a little louder. Just be aware that they make it pr

I'm curious why you feel that way? The DevOps mantra is that you shouldn't be trying to manage deployments at all, except in aggregate. They should be seamless enough to become non-events that happen frequently and with maximal au

Pebble 2 is still the #4 most funded Kickstarter ever, with Pebble 1 taking first place. Every smartwatch I've tried in the years since the buy-out just reminds me how much I miss my Pebbles.
