There is not a hinge in my life that goes un-lubricated.

I went to an audiologist a few years back because I could hear certain things that would drive me up the wall. I thought it might be tinnitus or something like that- I ride motorcycles, am on the water in boats, use power tools, etc. Turns

That's pretty much where I've been on them for the last few years. I've got a bunch of old inherited Craftsman stuff that's just as good or smooth as expensive stuff is brand new today. If I'm not investing in somet

I have the UAP-AC-PRO and an Edge Router Lite and couldn't be happier. I tried way more expensive consumer routers (Nighthawk), using a pair of TP-Link Archer C7s (with one in AP mode), extenders, freaking everything. They all had prob

I have seen people use it in some amazingly Rube Goldbergian ways for great success. It's a real credit to the project and the ecosystem. Easy enough to 'just get the thing done', but as complex as you want it to be.

Anker was probably a bad example because they seem to do a pretty good job and seemingly don't allow commingling of their product. This discussion does highlight the issue though, we all had to go check, and check a number of different

It's gotten bad enough that there are entire product categories I completely avoid on Amazon due to the likelihood of counterfeit. If I'm looking for a specific brand of electronics (say, Anker or Apple) I'll buy it off Neweg

I loved math and sailed through it in college. Algebra, calculus, linear algebra, theoretical classes- no problem, I never got less than a B+. We had a lot of classes where using the calculator was forbidden and you had to actually know how

It's funny- I grew up in Portland with my dad working for Sequent (they built some pretty cool servers back in the day). We had stacks of various Cadence CDs sitting around in the home office growing up. Mentor Graphics has a huge pres

I use the command line for the majority of my day and I still use a Git GUI (Tower for Mac) because in one single window I have all my repositories traversable, I can instantly see what is changing, and get a diff of a file in one click wit

I get the case insensitivity on the username though. You don't want grandma trying to remember if it was SweaterKnits@aol.com or sweaterKnits@aol.com as they resolve to the same thing. If not using the email, then he same thing applies

It's not a tactic. It's, in fact how a LOT of companies do it. As the guy in charge of doling out my pool of raise money it has absolutely been a zero sum game everywhere I've done it. If our across the board raise rate is 3%

If I could make a much money as I do now, I still don't think I'd choose something else. If I did it would probably be, in order: - Robotics (more on the hardware side) - Woodworking - Custom motorcycle/classic car building a

It's on an mRain Stand [0], so all ports and vents are exposed fully and I've never detected any extra warmth from having the lid closed. I prefer the lid closed so OSX doesn't try to treat it like a third screen- my laptop g

I don't mind the keyboard on my 2015 for shortish stretches, but do a lot of devs use their laptops directly, like actually in their laps, for most of the day? My laptop spends 99% of the week on a stand, with the lid closed, and hooke

I've got a Cinema Display, though it's been relegated to my second monitor it is pretty nice to have all my cables routed cleanly to that and just plug in the MagSafe/T2 connection and my MiniDP connection from my big monitor

40 browser tabs, two build daemons (gulp and gradle), three IntelliJ ultimate instances, 2 vagrant VMs, 3 more vagrant VMs I forgot to shut down, Spotify, Tomcat, and an IntelliJ debug Tomcat. And that was just what my mom was running!

Yeah, those prices don't seem that great. I pay $75 for 100/100 fiber and routinely test at 125+ in Portland, OR.

Target didn't get hacked for not having updated software. They were hacked because an HVAC contractor was hacked to get the HVAC system credentials and it wasn't properly segregated from the same network as the POS terminals. They

As a human being I would choose my safety over that of someone I don't know and I would choose my family's over mine in all circumstances. If I'm ceding control of my car to an AI wouldn't I want it to do the same? Espec

The GPS and mobile data are overthinking it. The routes are known so simply trigger on door open/close (with some logic for denounce/etc) and cycle through. For maximal accuracy simply have an electronic beacon of any sort broadca

Not sure of your breakdown on salary/options/whatever. On a $170k salary I had no problem with a wife staying at home and 3 kids but we weren't living downtown, we were in a suburb a few miles east. $1400/mo rent isn&#x2

Unfortunately it's not COMPLETELY untrue, but it is an unqualified exaggeration. Some teams are a complete shit show, others are as good as you'll find at any large company. Amazon pays pretty well, but people will have to work ha

I will say this about my Brother all in one black and white laser- it does everything I need it to do well enough and I don't have to fiddle around with it to get it to work. Multi-page scan direct to PDF, fax, printing over WiFi (than

Those cars are registered and taxed to the state, county, and city where the driver lives. These aren't scofflaws driving in from out of town- the municipalities are getting at least their fare share from the drivers to maintain the ro

I disagree. Radial gauges immediately convey accepted boundaries and where your real time measurement is within those. For example, I've done a fair bit of racing in my day- we take the tach and any other various gauges and rotate them
