Same here. Except we do a two week rotation, and it aligns with our sprints. The active on-call engineer doesn’t have any assigned sprint work and focuses their effort on fixing bugs or cleaning up the backlog when they’re not actively tria

On iOS I've been using "Bouncer" for the past several months to filter messages using regular expressions. It's been doing a great job so far for me. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bouncer-privat

Yea, I've basically just swapped to the BNPL lenders because they don't charge compounding late fees if I decide not to pay the bill off.

I like that the loans are a fixed schedule and have no compounding interest, fees, or ways to get me into further debt beyond paying what I committed to pay.

In the early 00s I designed and wrote a system that procured abandoned domain names, analyzed them for SEO purposes (existing pagerank scores, inbound traffic from other respectable domains, etc) and then generated a web of links and artifi

I’m proud of myself for getting all the way through TIS-100, and I think I still hold the records amongst my few peers who tried it.

Hah, I had a mac360! I used it when working on some early Kinect voice-recognition stuff.

This is why I prefer wholesale lenders and the independent mortgage broker channel. Prices are better for me, period.

by l8nite 4y ago
Yea I will never not use a mortgage broker again. The middleman and wholesale pricing is worth it!

I left YNAB when they pulled the bait & switch on pricing with their oldest customers last year. I’ve been looking for something to replace it for awhile now, so I’m going to try this out.

Thanks for the "step forward" comment. I want to get better. I haven't put serious effort into professional help, so that's on my NY resolution list for next week. I have a mental health program available to me from my e

Anybody deal with severe depression and/or gambling addiction? I need help. I lost about 1/3 of my net worth this year, and I’m spiraling badly.

I don’t know a great “how to lay out” guide off-hand, but I’ll take a stab at helping with the confusion. Rake is a Ruby equivalent of Make. Many Ruby gems will include rake tasks (Makefile targets) that can be used to drive pieces of an ap

Updating to close my part of this saga: the senior support representative called me back exactly when she said she would and my account was magically fixed. She could not elaborate on what happened or how they fixed it. I’m happy to have ha

I’m not the parent, but I had a moment where I physically felt something “break” in my brain (stress related), and ever since then I haven’t been the same person. The feeling is hard to articulate, but I no longer connect to my feelings or

Even more nefarious - when I lost access to my account on Friday, I lost the ability to update apps that I have purchased. One app that I use frequently won’t load unless it is updated (it gives you a dialog that you can’t dismiss when you

This just happened to me on Friday! I’ve been using the same Apple ID for a decade or more. I’ve purchased thousands of dollars worth of apps and content, and probably tens of thousands worth of Apple devices in the last twenty years. The i
