I had n95 masks saved from the fires around me in previous years, but i generally don't run into people where i live so i can skip the mask when outdoors. People generally stay away from each other where i live, too. I don't live

I really want to work for a boss like this, but the really good managers are rare. My last "manager" didn't talk to me for nearly the last 5 months I worked at the company and I hounded him for code reviews and 1 on 1 meeting

There's so much conflicting information out there right now that I'm not even listening to it. I'm wearing masks and avoiding people, because my wife has bad lungs and I have a 6 month old. Until there's more facts that

I started to really think about each purchase I make: have i bought a similar product and not used it? Can I repurpose another thing I have already to do the job? Can i just forget about it and find something else to do? For example, my liv

It depends. For HN, an email is immaterial, but for Amazon shopping you want to be very sure you have the correct email.

With the positive comments here, perhaps the HN mods wouldn't mind if you posted an update yourself once the AWS migration is completed? I know there's rules around that, but I think they are okay with the occasional self-promotio

You're mostly incorrect here, most grid scale installations are for DCM and local capacity in areas where the grid is oversubscribed. You're correct that current storage capacity is small but there are a lot of companies installin

What if we just got rid of files and put our code into a database? You'd just have a "new code block" button, which creates the editor tab for your code, usually a function or a class, and usually one item per block. When you

This is the same taking points that have been and will be repeated ad infinitum. There's no actual analysis, just "facts" with no evidence, just some thin veneer of appeal to authority, as usual. I'm not stating an opini

The size wasn't because of marketing or anything, it's because of the higher crash standards.

Yes! Hawaiian was great for years, then they reduced the service considerably. Now, even locals who want to support locals don't fly Hawaiian because there's cheaper flights that have about the same service level.

This will be used for some niche use, like a closed road for dump trucks to run full time, or on train tracks for electric trains. This is too complex even compared to putting a cable in every parking space that currently exists.

Yes, and I want UBI (basically, there ability to not work as much), because I hate that right when my son is getting a personality and knows who I am to him, I'm supposed to find another job (currently unemployed) that will take me awa

I'm not okay with anyone being on the street. Lots of people are losing their jobs and homes, and landlords shouldn't have any special protection from that effect than anyone else does.

They'll only lose the rental properties if they cannot afford them, sorry, but everyone will suffer. I'd rather have a landlord lose a property than the family inside being forced to the street. A landlord who cannot afford their

Yet another way a huge corp is using this pandemic to make more profit. Now, some elderly person, cancer patient, etc won't be able to get a delivery slot because they cannot afford the premium for the faster service, and this will tak

I get it then, thanks, you'd pay a few bucks to get the analytics of who scanned the code, makes sense.

Honest question: why would anyone pay for this? Several dollars a month for a QR Code? Is this a few bucks a month for one code or for access to the API to make unlimited? I don't get it, but maybe I'm not able to think of the bus

The optimist in me wants to think that the executive team realized they had about 4 or 5 months before they had to lay off these folks, so they decided to give them a few months of time to look for work and be with their families since ther

Do what the professors tell you: buy (or download for free) the books, do all the practice exercises and proofs, go to office hours, listen to the professor in class and don't write everything they write, just the key stuff, and get to

I worked with Tesla grid batteries (powerpack installations) at my last job, but I'm currently looking for work. I just got tired of "engineering" my personal projects, i just "program" them now!

by battery_cowboy 6y ago
This is advice meant for personal projects, not work. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough, but I thought it would be clear from context.

by battery_cowboy 6y ago
Yeah, this isn't for work, this is meant to reignite your passion via personal programming.

It feels like half an article, maybe add more on how you'd find the reversion?

Yes but degrees aren't needed, that's the point. I'm talking about the gatekeeping aspect, specifically, in that part. I know that doesn't hold for every degree or cert, for sure.

I'm having similar issues, and i think i found a way out: stop playing their game. Don't make enterprise software. Don't write unit tests. Don't accept pull requests. Simply write software for yourself and have fun doing

True, division is the real enemy of the people and it's hard to remember that fact everyday with the assault to your senses from the media about how people are doing bad stuff. Thanks for reminding me.

I hate this, but they'll have to cope, just like those who lost their jobs and those who lost family and friends. It sucks, but the real issue is that there's no social safety net for these types of folks in many places, which mak

Hmm, so letting people be themselves is harmful to others? Maybe if you're a jerk. Don't bother responding, i don't care about your crazy interpretations.
