I’ve never tried running in them, but lightweight wool socks (e.g. darntough) are pretty great for summer wear. Last a lot longer than cotton too.

Huge fan of Redmine. Got introduced to it at a job in 2011, then switched jobs in 2015 and brought Redmine to that team. It’s an all around great and flexible tool without any of Jira’s nonsense.

TS is definitely not zero actual value. The decrease in bugs my team has seen since migrating our JS apps to strict-mode TS is remarkable. It’s been ~5 years since then and I can’t imagine going back.

Even 5 lbs a month per family seems extremely conservative. My family of two, not four, goes through more like 15-20 lbs of chicken a month.

Give io-ts a try for the runtime type checking. We’ve used it in prod for a few years now and it’s pretty solid.

The main issue with beans from a “prepping” standpoint is the amount of energy (fuel) required to rehydrate and cook very old, very dry beans. Lentils are way better in this regard—they keep just as long but cook much faster.

A geothermal heat pump is a common name for that type of system.

It’s MVP because it (1) is an API and (2) is doing nothing more than writing it’s output to the same sftp server the client used to hit directly. Not debating it’s dumb, but almost by definition enterprise tech ossifies in weird, dumb ways.

I too much prefer glass containers whenever I can get them. But glass isn’t without problems either—for one, it’s much heavier than plastic, which results in higher fuel consumption when shipping glass-packaged goods.

I’d argue that integration into GitHub via actions isn’t good enough—what about being able to review diffs using the git CLI? Or investigating snapshots with git blame?

by crgwbr 4y ago
Isn’t a lack of snapshot files a downside? How do you review snapshot differences tied to a merge request? Being able to review code changes right along side the test changes and snapshot differences is a big plus for normal snapshot files

I was taught to always back-in to a parking spot when possible. Reason being, backing up (now or later) takes slightly longer, and while you have the extra ~30 seconds now, you may not have the luxury of that extra time when you need to lea

Eh, at best agile done well is the best way _we know of now_ to build _some kinds of_ software. I certainly don’t think it’s the best for mission critical software (e.g. someone dies if there’s a bug in this). And even for lower stakes thin

Radiation is frequently used to sterilize raw foods. It’s generally in the infrared band, and the process is called “cooking.” :)

You’re probably right, but I did watch my freezer plugged into a kill-a-watt for a while, and even when the compressor first kicked on, I never saw anything higher than 35W. Maybe the kill-a-watt is inaccurate, or maybe it doesn’t update fa

What kind of fridge do you have that draws several hundred watts continuously? I haven’t tested my fridge, but I have a very large chest freezer that never draws more than ~35W. Surely a fridge can’t be 10x worse than that.

I still fail to see how your single table approach is more normalized. Consider for example an e-commerce order that may have either (1) exactly one shipping address or (2) no shipping address (for things like digital, downloadable product

That’s pretty much exactly what unique constraints are for. Why do you consider that a hack?

by crgwbr 4y ago
If the foreign key column is also that table’s primary key (or just has a unique constraint), then that’s not 1:N, it’s 1:1 or 1:0.

Unfortunately that is the case in some places. Last year I did the math to see if a ground source heat pump would be feasible (Hudson valley, NY), but even accounting for 400% efficiency vs 95% for gas, gas was still ~30% cheaper per month

Even if the app is open source with reproducible builds, you have to trust the OS. Are you going to audit every line of the entire operating system? If you do that, are you going to audit every transistor in the SoC to ensure the hardware i

So how do you propose anyone ever buys a house, then? Waste money on rent whilst saving for 30 years so they can finally buy a house in cash at age 50? A modestly sized mortgage seems better than that.

Interesting. That makes sense, but what’s the reason for using current instead of voltage as the variable?

I’m sure it doesn’t have “full” feature parity, but do you really need 100% of k8s’ features? ECS is a lot simpler to work with and has plenty of features for most systems.

Every one of the things you list as unimportant, someone else lists as a mandatory requirement. And that’s why S3 won. No one uses everything it does, but everyone uses a different 10%.

Interesting. Is there no way to design the circuitry so that when given no input, it defaults to a fully brakes-engaged mode? I’ve only worked with PM motors, so I know how that sort of h-bridge could be designed, but my knowledge of non-PM

Seems like a buried lede here is that limits also now apply to paid accounts. Just checked my team’s name space: we have 700GB of storage used, and gitlab is going to start charging us $0.50/month/GB for everything in excess of 50

GitHub is owned by MS, not gitlab.
