I was trying to root out Creative Cloud a few weeks back and it just refused to go away. Turns out there's a separate cleaner tool that you have to download to uninstall Creative Cloud: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/c

I think that part of the problem is a want versus a need. I don't particularly care if me and my wife don't sit together. We see each other all the time. But I don't want to have my four-year-old sitting in between two strang

I would consider the documented performance targets [0] for a standard Azure Blob account to be very good. We're talking 60 Gbps in/120 Gbps out, with 20,000 requests per second as the default request rate. From what I can tell, t

You can select exactly which monitors along with changing the order of monitors. It does require editing the file directly though. https://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-remote-desktop-in-full-...

These activities remind me a lot of playing SimCopter. Nothing quite beets the anxiety of getting shot at by some baddies in the city I built while trying to drop a rope ladder on a train. Great times. Generally, I really appreciate them pu

Absolutely! I remember adding a bunch of rail to my cities just so I could do more train rescues or catching robbers on the trains. It was huge fun at the time…

Louis Rossmann works there now, and he has put out a number of videos about them over the past few months. The first couple of minutes of this video gives a nice overview: https://youtu.be/vawcnCv1_1w His summarized descrip

I’ve used it to write out 45 minute long lesson plans, help write complicated text message where all I’ve got is a bunch of points to make, I’ve had it correct my Portuguese since I’m not a native speaker, I’ve had it give me a baseline SQL

Maybe not, but they do look at that one because a bunch of books are totally in favor, and a bunch are either against it or ignore it, so coming up with a definitive answer was a reasonable thing to do. Other examples of time savers would b

Nice, I’d love to have participated in their testing processes. They obviously treated it like a science and questioned a ton of institutional wisdom, and the results were fantastic.

by mcaravey 4y ago
Yeah, it was an investment for sure. But it has allowed us to save a ton of time every day (e.g. save 30 minute on the autolyse), make tweaks to our recipes to match our processes, change our starters (use stiff levain instead of poolish fo

Oh, I do software by trade. The bakery is because it started as a family business that I helped get off the ground. My background is in B2B payments and construction software. Even though the bakery doesn’t make as much money as software, t

Commercial baker here. One place where this kind of math gets really weird is when the recipe uses multiple kinds of flours. We make a loaf that uses three kinds of flour, so this means a recipe will have flour percentages that are less tha

One of my favorite ways to show off enumerables to someone is with an endless list. It really makes someone think when I show an IEnumerable instance that contains every prime number, for example [0]. Obviously you can never evaluate the wh

Yeah, which is probably why they cost thousands of dollars :( They do get programmed to compensate for the specific hearing loss of the individual, but if there was an easy way to take a hearing test and program the earbuds at home to match

I took apart a 650,000 BTU oven burner this morning for cleaning, and had to clean out the oven exhaust damper that was starting to get build-up. Soon I’ll be at my desk programming again thankfully.

We bought the Concept2 SkiErg and Rower a while back specifically because they were used in gyms in the area and held up to daily abuse well. The quality is fantastic considering we paid about $800 each. Highly recommend the Concept2 equipm

My bank tried to add typing heuristics on the password box years ago. It wouldn’t lock you out, but you had to go through extra verification steps if you failed. I failed the test pretty much every time I logged in, and I’m sure it happened

At the bakery I run we have to make a small number of extras of each product to account for issues (e.g. malformed roll, dropped on the floor while packing, sliced incorrectly, etc.). When we first investigated places to donate the edible e

No one said we are exploiting our workers. That's just an assumption being made because it is not possible to pay everyone huge wages. And I am aware that labor creates value, but not all labor is equal. No one questions if a junior de

Yes. I do run a software company as well, but the bakery is a family business that will be sticking around. We are considering selling the custom software I wrote to other bakeries to manager their production.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's a viable business. The issue I am bringing up is the disconnect between white-collar workers and blue-collar workers. Blue collar work is by definition manual labor. Low skill labor goes in, product co

We’ve seen a lot of issues with hiring at the bakery I run. Minimum wage is already very high in Oregon at $14 (will likely increase next year). We pay more than that for our entry-level jobs, buts we’ve found it’s very hard to compete with

I currently own and run a bakery. We sell breads and pastries, and generally avoid anything custom, such as fancy cakes. We have things figured out enough that we’ll hire people with no experience on the spot and train them up. We start by

I run a bakery and the incentives to keep our employees happy is high. The cost of employee turn over via lost tribal knowledge and the cost of finding new people far outweighs taking care of the employees. Yes, one side of the business req

That pressure is alive and well at places I've worked (USA). I used to finish my work day at 3pm, and I always made sure to leave at exactly 3pm. I would often get sideways looks and jealous vibes from my coworkers, even though everyon
