I just got solar panels. I was crunching the numbers and it's a long payback. I am really waiting to see how it turns out. Currently, the days are very short - 9 hours of sunlight. It's been cloudy and/or snowy quite a few da

I honestly find that kindof frustrating. I look at code I wrote a year ago and think - why didn't I do it this (better) way. And I also think - haven't I learned to write decent code by now? Why do I keep writing code like that wh

I dunno, I've had netgear forever, before they ever had cloud logins, and I've just set it up the exact same way every time. Maybe if I was buying my first netgear today I would be suckered into the cloud stuff since I wouldn&#x27

IIRC - it's an integer overflow problem. And power cycles generally come much sooner than than the 51 days. From a software engineering perspective - seems like something that should be fixed. But apparently someone else decided not to

I used to run my own personal website out of my home. Until I went for a job interview and gave out a link to my website. But the site was down ... and when I got home my cat was chewing on the ethernet wire. So found some cheap virtual hos

You might want to remove similar characters from your codes to share. For instance, is the first character in your app screenshot a zero or an oh? Also standardizing on capitals IMO would help.
