   Who thinks that touch sensitive buttons make sense here for turn signals, wipers, etc??? I can’t believe any regulator allowed this kind of terrible design on the road

   Does this have async query support? I’ve been using ormar lately with FastAPI and found it a pleasure to work with. I even built a number of PG specific extensions easily for things like JSONB and native UUID fields

   Ontario did a terrible job at pretty much everything. I volunteered with a some other devs to build https://vaccine-ontario.ca because otherwise there was no single dashboard to find a vaccination clinic that had available appoi

   Great writeup! I love the level of detail and that the author touched on strategies they tried that didn't end up working out.

    I had the same experience right out of university. After about 18 months the company transitioned to Office 365 and everything got better. It took forever to finally get rid of Notes because so many internal tools had been developed as note

    Some of the EDA file formats are absolutely terrible. My first job out of school was building https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NI_Multisim . As I recall, the file format was quite bad and I doubt anyone would be able to f

    I live in an apartment in Toronto that is LEED certified. To be honest, it's not that great but for different reasons than you outlines. The insulation is too good and so the building is too warm all year round. My unit can easily be &

    I worked at National Instruments on multisim for 4 years. It's fully spice based, whereas this looks like just a digital logic simulator.

    Love to see this. Having worked in the EDA space (I built multisim.com) it's nice to see modern tooling coming and hopefully open file parsers, etc. Are you planning to add something like GitHub actions? My thinking being that there&#x

    This is a lot. $1000/MWh is $1/kWh. A kWh is leaving 10 old school incandescent lightbulbs on for an hour. Usually this costs a few cents.

    I've seen this in python as well. gunicorn has two helpful flags to do this automatically (--max-requests and --max-requests-jitter) which will reboot every X number of web requests handled.
