I'm a programmer at a Fortune 500 company, and it's a similar situation. I feel very lucky. I do wish I had as much knowledge of our day to day financial situation as all of the startup guys on here though, just to know…
I noticed the same thing a while back with DoorDash when trying to order some Cracker Barrel breakfast. It was something like a 30-40% hike across the board. I emailed DoorDash to ask what was going on with the prices…
Ha, absolutely nothing. I'm sure there are people working on it, not sure if they are in the pre-employment job screening space.
I wonder how long it will be before someone competent starts doing this and including deanonymized data from places like HN, Reddit, Twitter accounts without your real name attached, phone location, etc.
Do they have them out to try in the store?
We were having the same problem with cat litter
This would be cool mixed with kind of a flipped free shipping thing, where I pay USPS $x a year and they deliver me up to y packages a week/year/whatever with no additional charge. You give the reference number to the…
Let me know if you do it!
A nonprofit that mails to lists based on the same thing, but with a postcard listing common scams would be pretty cool. I was shocked by how much of this stuff I got when I bought a house.
My first job out of school was fixing someone's bright idea of writing a few dozen ecommerce websites with Access as a data store. They stored the CC# so it could be run later as a card not present purchase. It was…
Currently nothing but Hass.io on a raspberry pi with an assortment of z-wave and zigbee sensors and a few wifi enabled light bulbs.
How do you like the D-Links? I've got two plus one of their video recorder appliances, and have found them to be completely reliable but the app is hot garbage. Any tips?
The enterprise project I have been on for quite a while now is overengineered, but the overengineering was done by some really smart people with years of overengineering experience. It works and isn't quite an…
I love sticking with budget phones, you can take risks on trying different manufacturers. My last two phones were a Nokia and a Xiaomi, both were good phones and I never would have tried them if they weren't ~$180.
Inland coastal Alabama, same deal. It's great to know how to catch turtles, snakes and lizards with my bare hands. Doesn't come up much while developing software but it definitely balanced out the Super Nintendo time…
They did this with a sort of mixed indoor/outdoor mall in my city, it turned out well and about a third of it is still a shopping center with GameStop, Subway, clothing stores, etc. - it appears to be doing pretty well
It was a lot of stuff like - Get a list of x in a table var - while loop through x to build another list of y - while loop through y and update z one row at a time All of that rather than updating with a join. Some of…
Some of this is probably SQL server specific, but we were having some scaling issues on legacy code earlier this year and I got a lot of bang for my buck checking for these things before diving in to specific issues: -…
I'm also in a hurricane area - I understand, use, and really like the NHC maps as well. I'm not sure what those red cones in the slideshow were, but the definitely weren't NHC graphics.
I think that would be a pretty big cone. You might end up with the situation where nobody takes it seriously - "oh I was in the last 5 cones this year and didn't get a single drop of rain" type of attitude.
You are spot on about the weird stuff being down rabbit holes of suggestions. There is also a lot of weird/disturbing stuff you can search up in their IDE/level editor app thing. The rules I put in place for my kid…
Allowing the host to unmute participants is pretty invasive too. First time someone did that to me I was floored.
You do get a personal meeting ID, but most people already have their phone number memorized. Being able to just instantly start a meeting from anywhere comes in handy. Agreed on the default video thing. I'm in no rush…
I've found that a good way to lower the hassle on starting a zoom is to create a permanently open meeting with your phone number as the meeting ID. Then it is as simple as pasting/typing a link into an IM conversation…
