I was in this position. Either advance to Staff Engineer (with 0% coding) or leave the group. The group I was a part of did not realize that not all good developers make good managers. I've always firmly believed that I am not good in

Does that mean I can talk with my Nest Thermostat without paying $5? Edit: yes, seemingly. Good, now I can get rid of my Honeywell/Resideo thermostats that came with the house. If you ever had a Nest (one that learns how long it takes

But VPNs are sold as the solution for when you are on an untrusted network, like at Starbucks. But, because of this someone can have a Pineapple with a Starbucks SSID, push option 121 and capture a WHOLE bunch of traffic, even though the pe

I know there is the famous Target case where Target sent pregnancy related ads to the living-at-her-parents daughter. That's how the dad found out. I remember a podcast about this. Maybe Reply All. But I cannot find it anymore.

Okay? What kind of range hoods were tested? Let's sous-vide a steak for 2 hours, and then throw it in a hot pan with oil, without drying off the steak. You'll get a lot of smoke, which will probably set of any kind of ionizing smo

This is absolutely great news. You can't even compare 2 restaurants anymore because their fees might be different. This is also good for places that rent out stuff, but have a fine print like 'mandatory refuel fee of $x'. If

I remember using one of those dongles with a SIM card that you could talk to with an API and use that to send flash SMS. Full screen warnings to friends. Only option was 'OK' and the text was gone afterwards.

Absolutely wonderful book. The 30 grams of cornflakes vs oats is so weird, but when you think about it, yes, I would eat WAY more cornflakes and milk than I eat oats and milk.

SoCal Edison isn't any better. When I left CA my off-peak cost was more expensive per kWh than my on-peak cost here in Phoenix. And that on-peak is for 3 hours per day.

There is regeneration that happens to burn the soot from the filter, which increases fuel consumption a little bit, but I will still take a BMW M340d xDrive station wagon over a BMW X3 M40i any day. Except I can't get the diesel here.
