The regulating bodies of those utilities work hard to create incentives for them to innovate. I spent four years of my career working on energy programs with major utilities around the country in which they tried to incentive reductions in

When I lived in LA I always felt like the variety argument was kind of nonsensical. It's not like the typical LA neighborhood has great reprsentation of a lot of different ethnic foods. The best korean is in korea twon, the best chines

I spent 6 years slogging through Symbian work. The whole "C++ but not quite" approach was infuriating, and the system level API's weren't much better. It was very difficult to work with. The original iOS SDK felt like

Of course you're right, but I think anyone who is capable of getting their head around Elixir is capable of understanding that this is a trivial example meant to showcase a powerful language feature. What you choose to use it for is up

In Denver the law is that a person can only AirBnb a property that is their primary residence. If you have an ADU or want to rent a room you can do that full time. We rent our place when we travel.. It seems like a good compromise to me.

When I worked at Riot Games they did something similar and it was fantastic. Twice a year for a couple of days the whole company stopped down to just work on cool stuff. Game projects were common of course.. but people would just kind of do

This is correct in almost all cases (outside of highly commoditized goods) and it's crazy how people don't understand it. It's why the price of McDonalds doesn't increase when minimum wage does. McDonalds is already char

I think the important distinction for us is that it isn't "work from the office one day a week". It's work from home unless your team needs you. Our ask is that team leaders work very hard to limit the days that people n

This is gonna be the real challenge for the WFH movement. NYC is trying to get income taxes out of me because I worked for a NYC based company in 2020... even tho I never stepped foot in their state.

This is a really good point. To add to it, WFH has one clear massive weakness: the lack of face to face interaction leads to quite a bit of atrophy when it comes to team cohesion. I've been managing WFH teams for the better part of a d

It's actually devilishly hard to strap plywood to a roof rack in a way that it won't take off in the wind (you're essentially turning your car into a giant kite) but also won't warp. It can be done.. but it's hard.

"You can rent a cargo van from UHaul without much trouble." Maybe we have different definitions of what "much trouble" is. It takes like an hour to do anything with UHaul where I'm at. It's insane how bad that

Bitcoin is worthless without dollars backing it. It’s because you can turn Bitcoin into dollars that anyone wants it.

I've consulted with quite a few companies on their interview process. Almost all of them had adopted Leetcode style interviews. My first question to the team always is: what exactly are you evaluating when you interview someone? And I

I haven’t one time in my 20 years of development had a time where that readability mattered tho. SQL very quickly becomes too complex for people who don’t intimately understand the language to make any sense out of it. Show a layman an INNE

Python 2.7 was the last of the Python 2.x releases. They likely started with an earlier version, kept upgrading to 2.7 and then had to bite the bullet and actually rework it for Python 3.x (which is a highly similar but different programmin
