you are right. made worse because there's an internal rule that you can't ever have two versions of a library in the monorepo ant the same time. it has to be one giant CL for the entire migration company-wide.

Yep. There is more than one terrible way to run a business.

KR stands for "Key Result". They're definitely not "things you do to achieve your goal". That's kind of the point of OKRs (in theory): To stop upper managers from dictating process to lower managers. (Which

OKRs in practice look suspiciously like waterfall software development. When you find yourself assigning ICs programming tasks by economic quarter, you've f-ed up.
13.
by keredson 4y ago
That's in theory. In practice I knew of no ICs w/o OKRs assigned to them.

if you have a cryptographically secure random function, just use that. no need to hash it!

that's very common in distributed databases. even traditional databases, it's very common to not have FKs on large tables, and just handle it in software. indexing billions or more of rows is non-trivial.

SSE supports gzip compression, and a gzip-ed base64 is almost as small as the original jpg: $ ls -l PXL_20210926_231226615.* -rw-rw-r-- 1 derek derek 8322217 Feb 12 09:20 PXL_20210926_231226615.base64 -rw-rw-r-- 1 derek derek 6296892 Feb 12

This was an afternoon project (when I got tired of the built-in animations of my new case LEDs). Thought others might enjoy. =)

That can be done in a non-sleazy way. For a long while there were effective caps on what you could earn as an IC, no matter how good. Everyone talks about 10x devs, but a decade ago the only real way to capitalize on it was to hold multip

Ouch, I'm sorry. When I get home tonight I'll check to see if GitHub supports loading=lazy.

I hadn't even thought of using small servos. Possibly that would have been a lot simpler! I went though a bunch of prototype EMs testing to get a working combo of voltage, windings, core size, etc. (Blew more than a few driver circu

Hah, yeah, I think I saw them on Amazon for like $20. That seemed nuts; why I decided to roll my own.

On the dowel there are 5 steel nuts which are pulled towards the electromagnet. Gravity makes them return, but TBH it's not reliable enough. I'm working on a new version with small return springs and a wider swing for the strike

Thank you! There's a little plastic hinge that goes on the end of the dowel / slots into the hanger. I don't have a picture, but the file is here: https://github.com/keredson/chimes/blob/main&#
