Yeah! The AC bonus is amazing. The summer gets so sticky, not anymore. We got it in around July I think, made for an amazingly comfortable August.

This is correct, 3 heads. One on each level of the house.

100% agree. Our electricity costs are fairly low, and its a very low carbon source (mostly hydro electric + nuclear), so for us it makes a huge amount of sense. If you're in Alberta, where most of the electricity comes from coal...ther

So, i have a house in Haliburton Ontario. Historically we drop a cool $3k a year on propane. Last year we installed a Mitsubishi hyper heat ductless system. We used zero gas this year. Read it again, zero. It’s lakefront, very remote, and t

Ya, mean, what happened with the invent of the calculator? Sure maybe basic math skills declined…but i think i grasp relativity more than my father does and ever will…

Mostly just because it’s there already, and after getting familiar with it i really like how fast it is to get a project started. Ecs is great, but fly is 10x easier to deploy to.

I inherited a project on fly.io but before that I’ve used ECS as my primary platform. While ECS is kubernetes lite, fly is ECS but a little more dev friendly in the realm of not dealing with the complexities of IAM etc. It has other downfal

^^ this. As I've said to others, the math lines up looking promising, but now adjust for available time. It looks very different.

Yeah so i didn't put it well, but that was literally my point. Feels very "developer brain" of us to say "thats technically possible, heres the math and you're thinking about it wrong" and not consider the huma

Parent here :) Yeah i am, but i think the thing few consider (although some did provide the remark here) was that while the chances are good (given infinite time), the reality is no one has that. So yeah, give someone 500 years, hopefully t

Canada, very similar. We had days in January over 14C up by our cottage near Haliburton. Normally we see temps around -20C that time of year. I’ve never seen a warm winter like this. The snow mobile trails also never opened on the lake this

This sounds really fun, do you have any pay indications in mind?
227.
by verelo 3y ago
Yeah this is similar today. No one calls a student for cheating, at least in what I’ve been observing. Students that complain get additional marks, students that get accused of anything revolt, teachers are basically scared of the “customer

I keep coming back to this. What about the student? “Pay for it”, how out of touch is this person? Have you seen what students are paying…I’m so frustrated by the complete lack of accountability our education system is taking for these pers

Yeah, this is exactly it. Sure, don't take responsibility for evaluations...but ultimately that just hurts the school and the students.

Yeah, its been a while since they felt useful, but there was a time when they were valuable for junior employees. Internships have almost completely replaced this imo, but i think that mostly speaks volumes to overall disappointing performa

Wow...thats just...yep. I think grades are very much an indication of performance, more generally a valuable part of the student experience and growing as an adult, if you can't be bothered grading...step aside, plenty of other people

by verelo 3y ago
Grade inflation is legit and absurd. As an employer it makes me mad because i cannot use them as an indicator at all, they were never great but now they’re worthless. My wife is a mature student doing her PhD, she was negotiating grades as

No idea how I have been living under a rock. I was using Google dns forever, but just switched my router over to next! This looks amazing, and great to see so many people using it with positive feedback.

Eh, no...i mean, maybe...I honestly feel the issue is me. I always want a lot of detail, and that can become expensive. Sometimes the detail I want is more than I needed, but I don't know that until after I've asked the question.

Thats all very reasonable, thanks for taking the time to reply! When i suggest going down a hybrid path, I mostly mean use GPT on your own (disclose this to your lawyer at your own risk) as a means to understand what they're proposing.

"There is also no legal liability for GPT for giving the wrong answer." I mean, i get your point but lets be real: I cannot count the number of times I sat in a meeting and looked back at a contract and wished some element had a d

How do you want these things stored? And further, is there a way to regain access if someone looses their db credentials in the fly environment?
240.
by verelo 3y ago
Right ok that makes sense. The reason i wanted this was for the reason mentioned earlier in this thread: you spin up a DB but don’t have the credentials. Fortunately i had stored them as an env var and was able to recover them, but otherwis
