Also missing solar heating from diodes: > This topic seems to be broadly misunderstood. It is 100% verified fact by both myself and others (including university researchers) that diode strings can produce more heat (or…
That is me right here... Plus I have some younger kids who have had fun playing with old Nintendo DSes for now. But their friends often have the Switch and I want the updated graphics plus group play (Mario Kart) so…
If you deposit checks, make sure SVB doesn't make it too much of a hassle. I don't know why but a prior employer banks at SVB and they have a real hard time getting my COBRA checks deposited. Sometimes, I'll have 4-5…
If my 61 year old dad asked me how to get into programming, I'd recommend they go to a company that was involved in the Software Craftsmanship model that had a long apprenticeship period. I'd recommend this because I've…
I think Ubuntu server is a fine choice for your needs. I tend to use it on small VPSes as it's easy to setup and get running, relatively up to date and in wide usage.
But how do you translate that into (short term) OKRs and work that engineers can build a career upon as an achievement (for promotion)? I think there is a cultural mismatch between how engineers grow and what they work…
So here is how it works: The program runs on each computer. You plug your USB devices (presumably, a keyboard and a mouse) into a USB switch and then plug that into each computer. Then you plug each computer into each…
I experienced dilution as a former employee of a startup. Teespring did a 13:1 down round a year or so after I left (2015?). If you weren't an accredited investor that could afford to invest in the round, you had 1/13…
It does depend on what you mean by CPUs but the Ryzen G 5000 series are able to play video games at 720p (sometimes 1080p) with the graphics integrated on the CPU.
One option is to do some contract work either direct if you have the connections or through an agency. I've been working through Facet at facet.net for a couple of years and I've found them reputable, they put their fee…
I am in agreement however I suspect many developers have never seen the usage of "git bisect" to track down a bug and fix it. Once you see the power of that, I think one can come to appreciate more the granular git…
What tooling are you using that is slow? Sometimes it's all down to configuration and "you could do it that way but it takes eons..." For example, on a recent project I added prettier to eslint and tried…
This is my experience too. I was audited and they do send you a "shock" letter or at least they did in my case claiming I owed roughly $15,000 USD. After fixing my mistakes (and submitting an updated filing), they sent…
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Maybe we (myself and the other contractors involved) have been unlucky but we haven't been able to get anything done the lawyer route. I'm happy to try again but I've realized which…
Can happen to highly paid employees too. Since 2018, I've been owed over $20,000 USD by Surf Air (the LA-based startup in the airline business) that has failed to pay. Some of the other contractors were based out of…

Same exact thing happened to me (Namecheap, PositiveSSL, renewed roughly a month ago). I went the reissue route on Namecheap and that fixed it (and I ended up with a certificate chain that is one certificate shorter).
Hi Azer! It's been a while. I had the same problem with a Chrome extension for my side project Defero (school information system). It uses InboxSDK to integrate the Defero address book with GMail. Unfortunately, it got…
I went through this on a side project and just let them kill off my public listing for now. I had the same thought process in terms of what I could change however my extension made use of InboxSDK and had access to…
Joplin is a local thing you can run for this. Basically, saving a snapshot of a page. Has browser extensions. https://joplinapp.org/ I like the ability to use tags too -- I've got various product/tech ideas and it's…
Not only that but if you had an application in progress, they now have this text when you return to try to complete it (they shut it down shortly after sending out the email to complete applications): Last Updated:…
I need an end goal with actual people using what I'm making to be really motivated. And having achieved that on some open source projects (one in particular with tons of usage, now deprecated), I need some kind of…
I've been contracting lately and I'm on two active contracts. One of the two is winding down. I've been billing at $155/hour via an agency (to be clear, their fee added on top of that $155). They offered me $90,000…
Any ideas on how this will be implemented? I use voip.ms and I can put in my cell phone number as my caller ID so I don't need to pay for a DID (basically, rent a phone number) and calls come back to my cell. I've…
I used to care about that but once the JSON gets at all complex, it's nice to switch to pretty formatting of it. At that point, a dev tool in the browser could do the same for this format so I don't think that is as…
