This is the most frustrating part. I have so many team members who drag their feet on tons of projects and blame it on their parental obligations with seemingly endless levels of understanding from everyone, but if I were to say "I am

I would recommend getting an actual duster (aka "hand bellows"), especially one that has an actual spring to return the bellows instead of just a "plastic spring". I learned it from this video [0]. It really helped to ba

Funnily enough, the amount of those luxury glamping-mobiles I've seen near me (Seattle) go up on Facebook Marketplace has exploded, but still are priced to nirvana. Those expensive toys are gonna be the first to go when people have to

There are many, but one good leading indicator is freight companies / shipping rates. Looking at things like housing and cars directly can hide things because of can-kicking shenanigans. Melody Wright has a great substack that goes ove

When those solutions don't wreak environmental havoc (dams [0]) or are out of the experimental stage, I'll be interested. I'm actually following Ambri for this reason [1]. Even if you go with "muh flow batteries" or

It's a bit disappointing how the solar/wind folks neglect to consider the fact that such a storage system does not exist. Before one goes to the "but muh batteries" rebuttal, it's a useful exercise to see how much L

The Chargie is also useful if you want to set an arbitrary charge limit. iirc on Samsung you're stuck with 85%, can't change it. Another key thing for the Chargie is that it will cut power after reaching its requested charge, and

Just to be clear, I'm agreeing with you. It's people using an API they don't understand but happens to work because of TSO. When you take away TSO (e.g. on ARM), those assumptions come back to haunt the code in very tricky ra

Yep exactly, so many of the key employees are never identified by the metrics used by bean counters to decide who to cut. I would love to help out all the people in my org who want me to look at their PR and help them learn C++ a bit better

True, I didn't mean to suggest that the n100 is a bad machine. I'm actually considering getting this one for running opnsense directly (instead of as a pass-through NIC-enabled VM on proxmox)! I was just pointing out that AMD does

There are plenty of AMD options, just search on aliexpress. I typically double the price of the unit tested in the article and get something like the Beelink Ser5, which is a 5800H iirc. You get 4x the cores for ~2.5x the price, and almost

It's also possible to save another ~$30k (depending on employer match) if one's 401k offers the "mega backdoor" option. It's definitely a great option if one can afford it (after regular pre-tax 401k), as it's
