Why wouldn’t 3rd party hardware vendors continue to work on reducing costs of running models locally? If there is a market opportunity for someone to make money, it will be filled. Just because the cloud vendors don’t develop hardware someo

First time filing on our own in 25 years and it was great experience. Paid for the state filing. They didn’t seem to really push the add ons for federal.

Home Assistant is to HomeKit is very much like AppleScript/scripting languages are to Shortcuts. The UI based approach is OK, but only takes you so far because there is not proper investment to improve a deeper integration. To make the

They used no networking services either. Now, I open a shared PowerPoint and am stuck waiting for a couple of minutes while it is syncing or doing who knows what. People have no sense of what templates they copy from other documents causing

I haven’t developed with .NET in a dozen years, let alone since it went cross platform, but I at least know it is capable of being cross platform. It amazes me how many developers I speak to that still assume .NET is Windows only.

Not sure what time you go to TJ's. In SoCal, I go nearly daily, a benefit of living 50ft from the store, and while stock is currently low, I have only seen it empty once. Again, it could be that when I go at lunchtime, they have the da

We traded one convenience for others. I can play the same music in sync across every room in the house and the backyard, and I didn't have to run speaker wires to 23 locations to do that. I can play any of millions of songs without hav

I've had a Sonos system going back 10 years now. I started with 6 or 7 speakers and now it is at 15 [9 zones] Sonos speakers and 12 HomePods [6 pairs]. There have been hiccups along the way: - Migration from S1 to S2 having to replace

Having grown up in San Antonio, I have many memories of spending time as a teenager downtown and around the river walk. The best time to visit is during the riverboat parade after Thanksgiving. Everything is lit up and many restaurants alon

The mention of Maple brings back vivid memories of freshmen year of college when the math department decided to use the software as part of instruction and no one understood how to use it. There was a near revolt by the students.

My daughter’s birthday party in January 2020 was canceled last minute due to her getting the flu. No idea of the type, but remember we were unable to reschedule due to Covid lockdowns occurring before getting rescheduled at the venue.

Depends on the frameworks in use. I have done the same as you in bringing code that was originally started on 1.4 up to 17 and now 21 and it just took grunt work, but not too crazy since most of it was bog standard Java. However, some other

This is great; though I have less need for it day to day now. I used to have 49" 5120x1440 display. We started with Zoom, which under Advanced would allow partial desktop sharing. I would draw a 1920x1080 box and move windows in and ou

Yes and no. Everyone on the team tries to be cognizant of time zones and coworkers availability. Trying to schedule meetings across multiple time zones quickly limits available working hours.

I find default calendar notifications useless. They pop-up 15 minutes before the meeting so they get dismissed, out of site, out of mind. With an integration of Keyboard Maestro, iCalbuddy, Stream Deck and modified shell script I show the u

I think to myself, “doesn’t everyone do this with multiple repos?” Then I consider some of the workflows of colleagues and have a proper realization. Overtime, unless a lot of thought is given to developer processes, the tooling becomes de

I use syncthing to manage the synchronization of files between local laptop and remote development server. The software code base is upwards of 20 years and has dependencies on Windows for runtime. I can run unit tests locally on very fast

They are good at branding and public relations, but that isn’t why people continue to buy their products. Look at how many AI hardware companies have recently tried branding and PR while launching their product to only flub when the quality

I know things have gotten somewhat better, but the amount of wasted time and latency of using RDP and Windows UI for development, testing and production maintenance is insane. Throw in some security requirements of RDP into host 1 to the RD
