BIKESHOPagency··on Colorado repealed law limiting municipal internet
In Greeley (30 min southeast of Foco) max upload with 1gbps is 20mbps.
BIKESHOPagency··on 2015 MPB configd and powerd drain replacement batteries
I'm curious if this is a case of planned obsolescence.

Apple MBP 2015 users with battery replacements from services like iFixit report that their computers start to lock up after operating on the battery and being connected to WiFi. Connecting to external power can immediately resolve this. There are often two or three services that are involved in the slow down, configd being the most common. You can use terminal to try to kill the service, but it is often difficult and the processes will immediately restart.

Is there DRM in Apple batteries that after market batteries do not have that may be causing this battery drain?

BIKESHOPagency··on Imagen Video: high definition video generation with diffusion models
This is what my fever dreams look like. Maybe there's a correlation.
BIKESHOPagency··on Ask HN: Inherited the worst code and tech team I have ever seen. How to fix it?
Why is it necessary? It's ugly, but it's earning millions. Find out why resistance to change is huge. Maybe the devs are stuck in their ways, or maybe it's too damn scary for them to fail because the business comes down hard on them? Get to know your devs, find out from them what they think the problems are and how they would like to solve them. Maybe they just need more help. And as the team lead it sounds like you need to bring the "business unit" up to speed on the current reality?
BIKESHOPagency··on Weird monitor bugs people sent me in the last 5 years
This is a kind of look behind the curtain that we rarely get from large software developers. Users are often told by someone down the chain in support it works or doesn't and no explanation why. I find this very fascinating and as a saas developer that makes an app that has to work with external hardware that I often don't have to test on very encouraging. Sometimes, there's no fix and it's not my fault.
BIKESHOPagency··on Ask HN: How to break anxiety/fear-avoidance cycle?
I use tanglo app (tanglo.app) and something about just clicking "start" on a small task is enough to break the cycle for me. Tanglo is also helpful in visualizing what I can REALISTICALLY get done in my day and what happens if I don't start.

When I don't start a scheduled task, it just keeps pushing it down further and further. If I procrastinate too long, tasks at the end get moved to tomorrow automatically. Which sucks. Small steps, click start.

BIKESHOPagency··on Shirt Without Stripes
However, I would argue that saying to my spouse, "yes, I need a few new button ups, anything style is ok, except vertical stripes" Is a natural way of speaking. Aren't we always in pursuit of computers understanding natural language?

BIKESHOPagency··on WeWork IPO Shows It's the Most Magical Unicorn
I realize I'm probably a bit of a unicorn, but I've coworked in the same co-working office for over 8 years. The businesses in the office have changed and there has been some turn over in those years but 50% of us have stayed! Those of us who have stayed the past 8 years have cycled between self employed, and employed full-time, often years at a time for one company.

We live in a small town in Colorado that has never provided work opportunities in our field, but we've always been successful working remotely.

Small town co-working has provided a huge value for us: no commute, we're out of the house, camaraderie, friendship and support. Maybe this is an example of a profitable co-working.

I know that in these past 8 years the owner has done very little recruiting and the desks are nearly always full.
