It's been a long time but from what I remember the selling point for EASTL is the ability to specify your own allocator instance for every container. EA writes portable code across lots of different architectures, many of which share a

In 2015 or so I wrote a tiny tool for people to record the outgoing voicemail message from their phone. In the intervening years it's helped more than 23,000 people move on from loss, save a grown child's cute voice, and lots of o

Wait it does? I've never been able to reverse that ID.

My blog is set up this way, but with markdown files instead of SQLite. At startup the server loads the whole database of posts into memory and then writes rendered pages out to disk as they're requested using a gem called Rack::FunkyCa

The obvious downside is that you're missing out on more diverse perspectives. People who spend time outside of work on things unrelated to their field, whether that's as a caregiver or unrelated hobbies, will look at the world dif

You can run whatever you want in Heroku. Fork the official Ruby buildoack and teach it to install fullstaq, it's pretty easy to work on.

My house is very atypical for my area of Michigan. It's all electric with a geothermal ground source heat pump for heating and cooling and electric water heaters. In addition it has (or rather had) two of these geothermal units and two

An HRA lets you deduct 100% of qualified medical expenses by paying for them through your company. An HSA lets you deduct up to $7200 for future medical expenses. In 2016 we deducted something like $40k off of our income between premiums, d

The FICA net benefit window for s-corps is pretty narrow in the face of the 199A deduction. I haven't run the numbers recently but s-corp doesn't make sense until you hit something like $100k gross income to start with because of

That's already a thing, at least everywhere I've ever lived. You have a primary care doctor, you see them at least once a year, they do a physical exam, maybe some blood work. This test maybe becomes standard of care for everyone

I'm a parent to two small children. Sleep is incredibly important but I think I probably have another year at least of seven hours interrupted at least once as my normal. It sucks.
