My mom got to test one of these for like 3 months. While only a 2 seater, it was a super cool car. For the time it was very modern. And it was very quiet, it had a gentle horn you could honk so that people knew you were there. She let me dr

Isn't part of it the dealer network as well? They've existed so long on service money, they were actively pushing people away from the Lightning because the service needs were so low and they wouldn't be making money off them

I've had the same issue and go so far as to remove the streaming stuff from my Pihole to make sure it wasn't a DNS filtering issue. Paramount+ app still is sketchy as hell sometimes. Usually won't work on my AppleTV, but work

I thought the openstack swift API was pretty clean, but i'm biased.

Not sure about yours, but many extractor (vent) fans will just suck the air over a very loose filter and throw it back into the room. Many in the US are part of the over stove microwave and rarely vent at more than 250cfm (~7 m3/min)

Many times its easier to look back over a period of time and see the differences than when you are gradually exposed to those things over time. Thats kind of how I'm understanding her recollection about it all. I do tend to take things

I feel like its unfair to say every single direct manager doesn't care about their folks. I care about each and every person on my team, I care if they are engaged and if they can do their job. I care if they get sick and give them the

I tend to agree with you. The general pattern behind "x tool came along that made work easier" isn't to fire a bunch of folks, its to make the people that are there work whatever increment of ease of work more. ie, if the t

Y'all is Texas' gift to inclusivity. When I joined a dev team that wasn't just guys, I worked hard to get away from saying "you guys", not because someone said I needed to, but because I felt that I needed to. Y&#

This is a really cool project. When I was at Unity, we had a team build a Westworld themed isometric Gameboy game that would let you monitor and admin k8s!

Unfortunately the malevolence comes when your manager was trying to do something out of scope and pushing the team in a direction to win some points, and failed miserably. And then, not wanting to take the fall, throws you under the bus eve

I think the thing that is trying to be solved is promotions, raises, etc. But there is this concept in larger, older companies that this needs to be done once a year. But there is no reason this couldn't be done quarterly or even reg

This is exactly correct. Toxic management (i won't call them leaders). I left because of my last manager, but I miss the company. If they did care, some good engagement studies/surveys would show where the problems exist from th

I had a colleague who had recently become a manager ask me "so wait, people always have to be growing and advancing? What if they just got promoted and they want to do that for a while. Or they are happy with what they are doing righ

very odd. i was thinking some kind of firmware whatever deployment gone wrong, but maybe it is something more nefarious.

usually redundancy. but as these companies squeeze more and more out of gear, we risk large cascade failures that are hard to recover from. could also have been some kind of firmware upgrade. anecdotally, the 4G LTE phones seem to not be a

MLS also lists the rates the house is paying out. ie, the usual rate for selling a house is 6% and 1/2 goes to the selling agent and 1/2 goes to the buying agent. this is outside any kind of other fees you will pay such as closi

the appeal of reddit is that you get a bunch of discussion on one topic, vs discord, my discussion on a topic is spread out over one or many discords. i really just use discord for communicating with groups of people that might all know e

absolutely. i wrote this mobile allergy data thing and getting the data was mostly scraping from news websites that did terrible things with javascript to keep scrapers and ad blockers out. Beautiful Soup worked past all of that easily.

I feel the same trying do develop an enterprise application with Unity. When I worked for Unity I found it fascinating that game devs (not coming from game development) were “locked into” a particular version. I hope the package system can

when working on CloudFiles, we often had monitoring for our limited dependencies that were better than their monitoring. Don't just know what your stuff is doing, but what your whole dependency ecosystem is doing and know when it all g
