I take advantage of this on a few websites. Sears Parts Direct is a good example. Add the items to your cart, fill out your information and do not complete checkout. In a few hours you'll have a 10-20% off coupon in your inbox asking y

No, it's a ratio of remaining debt to yearly income. Notice they say new home owners have a multiple of 4 to 5. On average a person making 100k a year has 150k or remaining debt.

It's tricky in a transitional zone. One week of extreme heat and dry weather can erase a lawn that survived a decade. For ~7500 sqft of lawn, you can get by with about 1500 gallons for each of three days and have a good chance of survi

I had a city issued smart water meter at my last residence with 5-6 residents. I set a text message alert at 400 gallons per day, as that was a very unusual event that might warrant attention. I had high efficiency showers, toilets, and was

Back in the Android 1.6 days, on many Qualcomm devices you could write all zeros to the IMEI, and then it'd let you write whatever IMEI you wanted. It was supposed to be read only. Carriers were launching new plans for 3G smartphones t

This could be very useful for working on applications that store configuration in SQLite databases.

I think you're spot on about this. Oddly, Netflix has seen some success by reviving shows that were discontinued on major networks. You'd think they'd know better than to cancel shows like The OA before completion.

Deloitte will collect the requirements. IBM will implement.

It needs to be, at least for some projects. Unfortunately, it's the organization, internal bureaucracy, and controls that fight it the most. Someone on hacker news said that governance is a glue you pour over an organization to keep it

For news and journalism, do they publish retractions/corrections in a clear and transparent way? If you can't find the page/list then they're not interested in being correct.

They didn't build their APIs with an understanding of HTTP verbs (ala RESTful). Mistakes such as POST with a query in body to search for X.

How does one quickly and effectively collect their children and move them into a panic room? Is there enough warning for situations that warrant a panic room?

Thank you. I was originally hoping to have gigabit Ethernet on the same monitor hub, but settled on the 300mbps actual throughout USB 2.0 allowed. At least it provides reliable low latency.

Thank you for this as I'm ready to try something new. Used MythTV, then tvheadend, and now plex for LiveTV/DVR. I absolutely loathe Plex, nothing but problems with transcoding. I shouldn't need to have a transcoding server in

I have found that Macs are far less tolerant of USB-C devices than other machines. I have crap dongles that work with PCs, Chromebooks, even Chromecast and Nintendo's, but not correctly with a Mac. I've seen the same with Intel a

Many laptops can't handle more than USB 2.0 when outputting display over the same port. Those that can need a certain protocol (too lazy to look up). There's a better protocol that allows both, but now you're in the $100+ ran

I thought Jet.com acquisition would solve this. What a waste.

The APs have great options. Cloud, local controller (their hardware device, software or a docker container), or none at all. If you want to start with a single AP you don't need the manager. I bought their largest AP, the 660, attached

I've been desperate to hire for the last two years. There's no way I can filter for location at this point. It took work, but we've made remote only official through HR and made our last several hires as remote only. We still

I prefer to skip the mocking frameworks and rely on Interfaces instead. My unit tests create anonymous inner classes that are passed to the constructors. If it takes too much effort to write that anonymous inner class, then the Interface ma

The 'truer' measure of your aptitude was likely your highest score. They allow multiple takes of the test because they understand that testing has errors from jitters, misunderstanding the wording, time management, a bad night of

Try your local municipal government first, if you live in one. I paid $11 to have my previous town pickup a mattress from the curb.

Two challenges with making this work well. 1) Not destroying plastic and rubber components exposed to the light. 2) Ensuring whatever is passing through the light receives enough exposure. Often they're better at keeping evaporator coi

I wonder if their radius agent still includes all the dev and test time libraries. It use to, or may still include jars related to Maven and JUnit. Not confidence inspiring.

Surprised there are no mentions of SWT in this thread. Isn't it still in use for Eclipse and others? I don't believe you need to go full Eclipse/RCP/OSGi to use it.
