Final score: 4.0 :/ But pretty creative game. Thanks for sharing!
I had an out of network emergency room visit with a kidney stone once while covered by a $1,000/month UHC platinum plan. When the bills arrived I stupidly paid them thinking it’d be easier to just file the claim for…
For Rails apps, you can do this using the ActiveJob interface via https://github.com/bensheldon/good_job Had it in production for about a quarter and it’s worked well.
Do you use any of the add-on modules?
I get mild carpal tunnel symptoms when working straight on my Macbook, so I bought a Kinesis Freestyle Pro. The split and tenting are great and do the trick for my wrists but it's got a different layout than the…
I have a good friend who is a hygienist for two dentists. One is completely inept and the other an outright scammer. The inept guy generates business by doing such a poor job with fillings that crowns and root canals…
Damn. I haven’t read much of The Athletic (don’t have that subscription level) but I’ve enjoyed NYT sports coverage for forever. They always seemed to have interesting, subtle, and original takes on whatever they were…
Down for me on the US West Coast for 9 hours now. Love the service and it's been rock solid for over a decade for me. I do understand the concern with the lack communication with this outage, however. It's a bit of an…
Yes. While it’s less common, I’ve seen orgs struggle because they didn’t have enough imagination. Every feature is done quick’n’dirty and eventually you have people whose full time job is to respond to customer…
Depending on what else is going on in my life, I’ll consume HN just once a week via https://hackernewsletter.com/
Not sure if they support Poland, but https://www.avodocs.com/
US ski patroller here, this is happening via Apple Watches here too. Not nearly as many as in the article, though. Couple times per month per resort.
Never worked with them but I have with a contractor who had good things to say: https://www.a.team/ Another route is to apply for full time jobs and ask early in the process if they’ll consider hiring you as a…
I understood "infant amnesia" but wondered how far back my kids could remember when they were little. As soon as they could start to communicate with words (around 12 months?) I asked both kids about being born, and…
Don’t forget that the flavors and textures will also be optimized along the way. It will taste better to more people than animal meat.
I downloaded and installed the first “browser” (what a weird name) to see what the hype about “hypertext” (sounds sci-fi!) was all about. It was a page of text where some words were underlined and blue. And if you…
Yeah, I hear ya... of course there are degrees of in-between. In the article and the comments here, however, the tone of the criticisms of this guy and his ideas (e.g. "managed a few good years of self-promotion") seem…
A young missionary spends several decades living among and learning the language of a remote Amazon tribe. He finds that his interest in languages and linguistics exceeds that of spreading Christianity and makes a…
And if iTerm2 is a game changer for you, consider that it's written and maintained by one guy. Throw him a couple bucks! https://www.patreon.com/gnachman/membership
Darn, I use YouTube as a quick communication channel to users of an app I maintain. I’ll throw up a video to show a new feature or that something has changed. Sometimes I answer single tech support questions with a…
The apartment gem enables multi-tenant Rails apps using the Postgres schemas approach described by others here. It’s slightly clunky in that the public, shared schema tables, say, the one that holds the list of tenants,…
Good luck. Just wanted to chime in that my Dad had similar (albeit milder than yours) issues and ran across the Norman Parathyroid Center website while researching his problems. He had surgery there about 6 weeks ago…
Love this. What I've seen lately, as a contractor at several different companies, is inexperienced devs getting a very long way building apps without knowing what's going on with their database under the hood. That's a…
Do you mute the announcers? They're the ones constructing the narrative. And of course, the replays and camera angles are a huge part of the production too. So yes, it has changed with more technology: the virtual…
"...there may be no activity that draws closer public scrutiny that the public knows less about" I agree that this quote may be a bit hyperbolic given, say, politics and Hollywood. But otherwise, the article is spot on.…
