   I have some Raspberry Pis that I self host stuff on. Gitlab on one, Runtipi on another, and pi-hole + Nginx + a game I made on a third. Some of it is publicly accessible on my own domains, but the only traffic I actually get is from myself.

   > “The income needed to comfortably afford a home is up 80% since 2020, while median income has risen 23% in that time,” the report states. That equates to $47,000 more than four years ago. It's the second paragraph in the article.

   My brother in law borrowed Oppenheimer on DVD from his local library for free. You might try that out if you want to save some bucks.

   How quickly does heat naturally increase in a house that's been cooled like that? I've only lived in apartments, but I guess it gets back to equilibrium with outside temperature in a few hours once AC is turned off. I guess a coup

   Thanks, 2:51. Very clean UI for mobile. I'll bookmark and do a puzzle every morning with my wordles.

   My most recent invoice from Jetbrains was $109. In the previous 4 years, it was $96. I have the 40% continuity discount since I first purchased a license in 2015. I have the "IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate" license, FWIW. I don't see

   You might have a point, but if the frameworks didn't exist, couldn't employers commoditize around knowledge of the base HTML? In my view, frameworks are the result of someone realizing that an abstraction is easier to work with. J

    FWIW, I moved away from bufio.Scanner and now I just do one os.ReadFile() call to get the whole thing as bytes and wrote a little function to break it into lines. I'm not using strings anymore and I eeked out a bit of performance for a

    I have been using bufio.Scanner.Text() for reading my input files, but I suppose most of what I've done could use bufio.Scanner.Bytes().

    I'm not sure what you're suggesting, the input in Advent of Code is usually meant to be treated as ASCII text, so strings are quite natural.

    I'm doing Advent on Discord with a former coworker this year. This morning we compared the performance of his solution in Rust to my solution in Go. His was running 2-4x faster than mine but we couldn't figure out why and it seeme

    Management that sees 3 options an picks the objectively worst outcome is absolutely the problem. I'm not sure if you could ever see management as the problem.

    I worked at a health insurance company 6 years ago where they brought in a group from Pivotal for a week and we worked with them to see how they ran a Scrum team. I was amazed. The Scrum master wasn't just some busy body manager who on

    It's often not a matter of verbalizing if the decision makers don't want to believe what you're saying. You have to be working with people who are more interested in finding the best outcome for the organization/team&#x2

    I've been quite frustrated that the term "technical debt" is so misused. It feels like project managers immediately assume technical debt means "the developer wants to play around". I only use it when it means &quot

    I've run into this at work and I handle by always add timedeltas in UTC or just design everything to work in UTC. Unfortunately, some people dislike the former because it's 3 lines of code (convert to UTC, add delta, convert to lo

    Unfortunately, you're right and I don't really have anyone to turn to within the organization. My manager was wrangled into this by the project manager. I explained the situation and his response was "I agree with you, but yo

    In this case, I think the manager cares less about the success of the project and more about their own success. Cynically, he made me the scapegoat for his unreasonable project plan and execution. Less cynically, he knows he could find anot

    I completely agree with you, except that I'm currently going through a situation. The project manager has made a plan that a feature would be done by the end of the year. Two data scientists have been the only people working on it for

    Damn this sounds similar to a project manager I'm working with, except he doesn't have any of the technical/engineering merit.

    I've never been in an environment where Scrum was used to create real pressure. I've been in environments where it creates fake pressure. Standups where you have to say something for fear that you'll be axed if you say nothin

    I agree that a lot of engineers would be put off if they had to do this. The problem I see is managers - project, product, and engineering - who think engineers shouldn't be doing this stuff. Whether the engineers are product-minded is
