thats what will happen. Think about farmers, people in more rural areas, homesteaders, etc... There is no high capacity supercharger network there and isn't likely to be. ICE machinery is incredibly important to them. A total conversio

It doesn't fit my lifestyle. I spend as much time as I can out in national forests and helping friends out on their rural farms. In reality it's not that much time, but it's the important part of my life, and I don't d

Agreed, partially. I wish the focus was more on getting more comfortable about the presence or lack of specific negative effects instead of trying to figure out how to market + advertise it as a cure-all. For a huge amount of people its use

McMaster is the greatest retail website to ever exist, albeit in a bit of a niche. I used to absolutely LOATHE tracking down a specific bolt, nut, fitting, coupler, etc... but McMaster completely changed that. If I need something specific,

by jdc0589 4y ago
It might not work, and it doesn't have to. McMaster isn't designed to be a highly competitive retail marketplace for the average consumer or the average consumer product. It's for people building things that already have a go

I ordered a bunch of 8ft lengths of aluminum 80/20 extrusion for framing the inside of a camper a year or two ago.

by jdc0589 4y ago
yea... this is the one fault of McMaster. I'm within normal 1 day shipping of one of their major distribution centers and its still pricey. Doesn't stop me from using them when I really need something.

this is hilarious. What idiot is paying $400,000 for a 540 sqft prefab house.

This is pretty similar to my situation. Unmarried partner of 7 years, made similar income for a while, but I'm ~2x now. The number one reason it works for us is we also both live well below our means (house payment is ~4% of combined i

It's unfortunate, but there is no solving it. There will always be a topic that lots of people are focused on in practice or discussion that is going to be annoying for others. For me, in the southeast USA, it's football. It&#x2

> GraphJin DOES NOT hook GraphQL straight to a DB. It is a backend service which in DEV mode saves queries to an allow list and in production on queries from this list are allowed to be run. GraphQL does not mean clients are allowed to c

this is conceptually very cool, and graphql can be great, but hooking graphql straight up to a persistent datastore as a means of exposing things to external/front-end clients is an absolutely terrible idea and nothing is going to chan

this is a bit part of it for me. Most of the tools you need for average development, triage, perf analysis, etc... are included out of the box.

I see no value in shorter "clean" commit histories in a feature branch. In fact, if you need that, it might imply that the PR is too large to look at holistically, which is a red-flag. Half my PR's probably have a commit that

I have strong opinions on this, but IMO if you are thinking about using PG pub/sub, you'd almost always be better served by just running a worker that reads from a logical replication slot. Little bit heavier lift, but there'

I don't think this change is remotely related to the "do no evil" bit, but I do agree it sucks.

This would provide some additional utility, but honestly I don't see the point. Anyone sending JSON via curl CLI a lot is probably having to manipulate JSON via CLI for purposes other than sending requests with curl as well. It ma

this is a great summary, and pretty much exactly reflects my role. My job is to help other engineers in our org be as productive as possible. That always means trying to include other people in what I'm doing from a mentor/caree

I love how they are sharing this stuff out to some clients, but its technically under NDA.

well that's, uhh, exciting. I'm used to reading articles like this to find the enormous disclaimer as to why the headline was bogus, but its just not there in this one.

this is only useful for some paid services (and does nothing to deal with your data they still have), but virtual credit cards are a life saver. I feel powerful every time I can't cancel something from a service's website but I ca

a friend does this for getting to fishing spots quicker from campsites. Sounds like an incredible idea if you've got the space for it, especially if you've got a large battery bank in your camper/vehicle for partial charges w
