I have the same problem, was hoping the end would tell me what to do once I discover that it is actually moles. I’m finishing setting up a rig with Frigate for object detection but one thing it lacks is many common animals (although if a ze

If you’re just starting then imo it’s easier to go the other way. Start with a fully-built dev board like a Wemos D1 mini. Keep building things and as you run into roadblocks and learn how to get around them you’ll naturally develop the kno

This is how I feel about any kind of configuration after moving all my personal systems to NixOS. “What do you mean run an installer and update these files…”

Can’t really say that without a cost breakdown. If the LTV of a customer is greater than the CAC then your losses will grow as you do until you reach a more steady state and reduce your marketing spend. It takes awhile for a SaaS customer t

The SEC will send a list to your compliance dept if they see weird trades (e.g. short-dated out-of-the-money calls) and ask if anyone on the list works there. The compliance dept also has a list of people with material non-public info and t

Home Assistant is the leader here. One of the largest projects on GitHub with a “local-first” philosophy. They have a cloud service for exposing your instance but you don’t have to use it. I’ve been using it for years and it’s matured quit

The problem is that this model loses most of the benefits of the Firm (economies of scale of labor). Let's say you have some money and want to make something happen. You find a developer and an infrastructure person. Now you have to

And you’re free to jailbreak your phone. It’s not illegal. No ones going to arrest you. But no one says the car manufacturers are required to make a car where you can flash the ECU. There’s just no reason for them to block it. If someone

This confused me as well. I was aware of all the doping but didn’t realize Russia was competing as ROC this year and was shocked that Taiwan was no longer forced to call themselves Chinese Taipei. Then I saw the Chinese Taipei team and th

It’s not NBC, it’s the olympics, and it’s been like this for years as part of a compromise that makes everyone unhappy except the athletes who might otherwise not get to compete at all.

It's so bizarre. Very few people would argue that they have the freedom to pump chemicals into the air that kill 1% of the population. You have the freedom to do what you want with your body but when it impacts me then that freedom st

Yeah, from the product management side this is the way to approach it. Make priorities clear and make it clear whether the important part is the date or some set of features. If the date is what's important then start the conversation

One thing I’ve found to be helpful is to make it clear that I won’t be mad about a long estimate If that’s how long it’s going to take then that’s how long it’s going to take. I think there’s a group of people who are used to getting lot

Sure, people give me that answer all the time. If you actually went beyond basic setup and dealt with real enterprise/production level issues then make sure to point it out. I assume that “I learned it for a side project” means mostly

Of course people only put up with it because they had no better option. The question is, should we force people to take the option of "low pay, no benefits, rude customers"? If those jobs are really the only alternative to the g

This is probably THE most common piece of feedback I give when people write up directions on how to do things. “You said ‘if I need to do X then here are the steps’ but how would I decide if I need to do X?” Or “It says check if X is Y but

But I think we need to examine both sides of this. When the American concept of free speech was coined, it was valuable because you could go stand in a government owned square and communicate your message for free. It was a good balance be

And it’s usually much nicer checking in at the smaller regional airports. Less chaotic and shorter lines. Downside is that the services aren’t usually nearly as good.

IMO, if you're going to charge everything back to the business units then you also need to provide some kind of consulting-style services, or best practices, or guidebooks, or something. Otherwise you lose a lot of your economies of sc
