I live in Oregon and have been fishing for as long as I can remember. While I mostly fished for lake trout, we'd fish for salmon in the Columbia river during salmon season. During the off season (winter) I'd fish for sturgeon. One

I'm a parent, and Parental Controls are garbage across all services I've used. They seem intentionally confusing and their options feel disconnected from the usage of the products at all. Since nobody uses these controls there is

Claude Code supports using API credits, and you can turn on Extra Usage and use API credits automatically once your session limit is reached. This confused me for a while, having two separate "products" which are sold differently,

Things have changed quite a bit in the past 30 years! I encourage you to peek at their changelog ( https://www.sudo.ws/releases/changelog/ ) for more insight into why this project is still under active development.

Interesting product! Not sure if I'm getting this right, docs seem pretty sparse so please forgive me. Here are a couple questions: 1. Do you support tagging resources? 2. You mention provisioning Pulumi resources, are you "simply

To be fair, AWS service teams don't always expose all features/options through cloudformation and you end up having to hit the API to manage them.

Exploring a codebase tells you WHAT it's doing, but not WHY. In older codebases you'll often find weird sections of code that solved a problem that may or may not still exist. Like maybe there was an import process that always lef

Mikeal was instrumental in helping me get established in the node community when it was super tiny. Being around him was a joy! He made those around him feel part of something special. He made me feel like I belonged. I was a camp counselor

Ex-cobol guy here, the work was a blast! I was working on the Lawson erp for a non-profit, mostly customizing the software for their specific use case. I loved it because the tools were crazy, the language limited, and the system itself was

It’s also possible to work on projects, or in languages, or on systems where resource consumption isn’t a high concern. I wrote cobol for sun and hpux and these big old systems had plenty to go around. Important software comes in all shapes

I think there's a gap between an inspector turning in a report and the repairs being prioritized, funded, and executed. Out here in Oregon we had a tunnel collapse and kill the inspector (this was back in 1999). News reported that the

I have to disagree as you have no evidence to support your position. Based on the information provided, it seems highly unlikely to me that a guy who passed up an easy payday for a baseball would get an attorney friend to lie for what is li

A few years back I purchased a deer rifle from a local sporting goods store and when I got home I realized they had forgotten to remove their trigger lock. It was about a 30min drive back to the store so I just picked the lock and tossed it

In Portland, OR we have 4-way intersections where the stop signs alternate every 2 blocks. Drivers still tend to stop at every intersection, even when they have no stop sign.

Human aspiration is built-in, we don't need help via advertising to desire more from life. Everyone seems to have adopted fire and the wheel without a marketing campaign, after all. Advertising may not be inherently bad, but given the

I grew up on the Oregon coast and many of my classmate's fathers were loggers. In the early 90s we saw the struggling timber industry nearly decimated due to environmental laws aimed to protect the spotted owl. Tens of thousands of job

My dad served time for painting and selling forgeries, FBI claims he was passing works off for over 30 years and he ended up getting popped for wire fraud (soliciting buyers via email). All his works had provenance, turns out the dealer who

My kid is in 4-H, she shows goats and rides horses. Most folks have big trucks to pull their big trailers. Not all livestock and lumber is for business, rural communities still exist!

I see "runners" on Craigslist all the time for around $1500, I'd say that's the bottom dollar for something that you can probably drive for a year without serious mechanical failures. However, used is always a gamble (at

Sheesh, you can buy three new cars or a starter home (in some places), that's how expensive new cars are these days. Auto loans also require you to carry full coverage insurance, which can be the same or more than your car payment if t

Regarding Seattle and Portland, while it's true there are bike share programs, I don't see them used very often. The few who are using the bikes are either tourists (minority) or the homeless on stolen bikes. Additionally, just ab

Last week I caught an Uber to the airport and the driver asked me why I didn't use Lyft, then proceeded to somewhat guilt me for not using their app, because it allowed tipping. Really shitty and awkward ride.

State law is what determines when and how breaks are to be taken. In most states, there is no law that requires an employer to give their employee breaks, let alone pay for them. In my experience, I've had mostly unpaid break times whi
