It really depends. For a business week give me a hotel, I don’t want to deal with weird checkin or and odd setup. If I’m at a remote office for two weeks or more, I want a real kitchen and laundry. Personally I use VRBO rather than Airbnb,

Also SSN isn’t that distinctive of a format. nnn nn nnnn. Check bits and reserved prefixes were all removed decades ago when it became clear we’d run out unless we use the whole name space (and even then that buys us to 2100). \d{3}\s?\d{2}

The article talks about “wet bulb” temperature. That takes into account humidity. When the temperature is at or above body temperature our body relies on evaporation to cool. The problem for many areas is it’s not a dry heat. I like many ot

The deal is when you’re interviewing me we’re _not_ co-workers. You hold all of the cards and decide my fate. A big part of interviewing candidates well is breaking down that dynamic. There are many ways of doing it - I get up on the whiteb

This is a good misconception and undervaluing of what work means. Just because someone lacks a paycheck does not mean they do not work. Since my spouse retired we eat out half as much, we are both in better shape, we grow a non-negligible a

Strongly disagree on "do not want children there is no point in getting married." There's an emotional reason to get married, formalizing a life long commitment. That's a big one for a lot of folks (citation: my marriage

I'm one of the outliers who likes open floor plans, BUT at densities much lower than what makes economical sense. 1 person per thousand square feet would be my minimum and I'd really like half again as much space. Problem is the e

That's actually not true... I ended up sitting next to a tech lobbyist on a 5 hour flight and we chatted about tech and politics for most of the flight. Google's lobbying strategy is to come in and dump a bunch of money to fix a

Who remembers when Target's website was hosted by Amazon.com (not AWS)? Probably 6 or 7 years ago now. IIRC Toys'R'Us was also but left earlier.

While I'm no legal expert, I believe the crux of the issue is in this case the dealership had already signed over the title, meaning the had no legal right over the car. Bad on them for demanding a $200 fee to remove it which wasn&#x2

What was it that Jeff said? "Your margin is my opportunity" I believe. Anyone who hoped to see WF as a profit center aught find a new past time. But yes, this was a company that found a niche, grew into it and could go elsewhere.

Sure - The route cache was largely removed in (IIRC) 3.8, but there's still entries that get stored[0]. There's a limit to how many entries Linux will store, and like any LRU-esk data structure rapidly cycling entries through it

Last year I learned that 20% of adults who were diagnosed with a peanut allergy outgrow it after childhood. It is worth getting tested again if you grew up with a peanut allergy. I had signed up for a trial of one of these drugs. Having g

In the rural parts of the state, yes. That ends up being roughly 60% of the state[0]. In terms of pricing, my family who's nearest neighbors are over a mile away pay less each month than I do for more bandwidth than I get, and I live

"NoDak" is a bad example - that state is fairly well off and organized. Years ago they got it their head that having 100% cell coverage was a good idea so they did it. New federal recommendations for shoulder width so they went a

What this really boils down to is you should avoid subshells where possible and handle this with either variable assignment or and streams (pipes). eg: set -euo pipefail foo() { false echo "hello world" } variable=$
