My parents live near Lake Michigan (although decidedly NOT on the lake) and I made the mistake of visiting them last weekend and driving home on Sunday night when everyone was migrating from their lake house back to the city. I think I spen

Thats how I was at the beginning. I'm an extrovert and my wife is an introvert. I think I was buying a bunch of stuff for time wasting projects (HD bird cam with live streaming from a RasPi, tons and tons of LEGO sets) to keep my mind

At the beginning of the pandemic I definitely was doing more online shopping. But my wife and I have definitely shifted into the 'bunker down and be prepared' mentality. We're stashing cash and loading up on canned goods. We

You would think so--but I don't think the rental market is that elastic anymore. I'm in a college town, so take this with a grain of salt, your milage may vary, etc, but around here with the looming possibility of all the schools

They should work on reliability before new niche features. I work with another developer on his clients sites and he’s a Cloudflare fan. Almost every complaint and failure we’ve had reported has come from Cloudflare errors. Not issues with

Yup. Traceable all the way back to the batch of material the part is made of. For every part in the plane. One of my customers makes parts for Rolls-Royce engines for the aviation industry and have to store certs and manufacturing records f

Yes. And places that deal with these types of tolerances will typically have a person who's job is to simply verify and replace gauging. If a gauge doesn't have a documented test verifying its accuracy, then it has to be assumed t

Why would anyone do that? I mean what kind of customers are going to install a 2nd app store then buy apps through it? Those app stores are going to be full of shady marginal apps. Without a leavening of 'good' 'trust worthy&

The constant unskippable ads in the Youtube app meant I jettisoned the app on my mobile devices and just watch Youtube via the browser (even though they make it a terrible experience) because my ad blocker works in the browser.

Real root cause was a poorly written home built tool to manage haproxy configs. The tool did not handle the slots being full and crashed. Respawn, rinse and repeat. Haproxy config got stale and when their automated tools removed servers it

No, its not a load balancer bug. It was a bug with the home built program they built for managing config load ins TO the load balancer. The load balancer did exactly what it was instructed to do--but the slack developed app for helping the

Adobe Photoshop 7 took literally seconds to open on my 500mhz Pentium 3. On my brand new SSD iMac, 31 seconds cold, 7 seconds from a warm start (which honestly is WAY better than I thought it was going to be).

This is an extremely late response but I'll give you an example of something that made me angry. The Amish are only sticklers to the 'no new technology' rule at home. At their places of business they are more than comfortable

In practice what you describe in the tail end of your post is how it works. Except the hospital can’t blackball you for emergency care even if you have a history of failure to pay. The hospital will work with you and put you on a payment pl

Yes--why wouldn't they? Your call is going through their network fully--this isn't a broker situation where their router connects the 2 endpoints directly.

I wonder what that meansーーwill you get an actual rejection or some sort of ‘downgrade’ workflow where you’ll be prompted to swipe? Or will I just look like a broke dude semi-randomly?

It certainly discourages lingering in the shower. When I was doing it (cold tap open, no hot water at all, Michigan, winter) when that water hit you you definitely moved quickly. With hot showers 20 minutes isn't uncommon if I'm t
