The whole philosophy behind HA is "local only as much as possible". There are a few analytics modules that report back which integrations are in use so that they can help focus dev efforts but those are optional. They also have a

That article is a few years old and the laws have changed in at least CO. Grocery stores can now all sell full strength beer so there's no 3.2 any more here.

Another vote for Athletic Brewing. My wife and I are huge beer lovers who quit drinking recently. We both agree that the benefits are completely worth it but I'm not sure we would have gotten through some recent social functions with

I'd argue it increases your importance but decreases your value. You become a single point of failure for the org, so you're more important, but you're removing value from the org because you're making it more difficult

I have the Honeywell T6 Pro Z-wave. Works great but any Z-wave will be fine.

Yeah I always see this expressed as a criticism, like "oh these small companies just hate junior devs! Everyone wants to hire a senior dev, no one wants to hire a junior dev and train them!" But it's not always that easy. If

Yeah, another way to think about it is whether you're: * Storing info about an instant in time when something happened (or is going to happen), which would be the same across the entire universe (relativity notwithstanding) * You'

Yeah, it's definitely different if you're working on a contract basis. At least with internal stakeholders, whether you're building product, doing enterprise integrations, or building internal tooling, you just need to make

> Good and accurate estimation is not just a dev function. It requires buy in and input from the entire business stack. And in my experience, when people don't want to buy in to doing the whole process up front but they still dema

This tool only replaces a small part of a good programmer and just further highlights the differences between people blindly writing code and people building actual systems. The challenge in software development is understanding the real wo

Thanks. It could be worse, I'm in a position where I can just push back on that crap. The only really frustrating part is when the same people do it over and over and I have no real easy way of influencing them because they are outsi

Yeah, occasionally a process gets designed that looks like "random people who have no real incentive to do a good job put together a spec and send it to me for review/sign off." And the expectation is that it's just a q

Even that has an "algorithm" behind it - they have to manage inflows & outflows, the heartbeat trades if it's an ETF, etc. Vanguard doesn't have a person sitting there buying a little bit of AAPL every time someone

Oh yeah, definitely take home. After we’ve made it pretty far so that the candidate doesn’t feel like we’re just asking them to do an exercise as a form of screening. I also try to frame it as the exercise is instead of two more interviews

The normal case is when you’re cut/copy/pasting intra-app. Imagine if you formatted some text and then cut/paste to move it around and by default you lost your formatting.

(Not the OP) One thing I always ask about but find to be especially helpful with less technical roles is to go into the whole process. Start with what they accomplished but keep digging. What other options did you consider? What were the tr

It's an interesting relationship. The banks take the current interest rate from the Fed into account and base the mortgage rate on that. They can try to project out and add some percentage for risk + inflation but if they add too much

You’d have to legislate what you can do with the data. Saying that you’re not allowed to receive random broadcasts would make it so you basically couldn’t connect to wifi APs.

I wonder if they recognized you were from out of country and so they’d have no way to collect if you just left, and that’s why they offered the cash deal up front.

Yeah one major benefit of a framework is the ability for new-to-the-team devs to get up to speed quickly and in general for people to understand what’s going on without having to pickup your domain specific stuff. Similar to reasons Java be

Managers are not needed but management is. There are many ways to fulfill the task of management, one way is to have a manager, one way is to have the developers handle it themselves. If you're lucky you can get a team of devs who are

It's the idea that money/technology can fix a people/process problem. I see it all the time. It takes many forms: If we could just find the right magic tool then all our problems would be solved! Step 1 is build automation
