Either "trigger" is a blacklisted word or your domain is on a list somewhere, because my company has this url blocked under the "weapons" category. That's unfortunate.

> My goal here isn’t “what is 100% the most reliability-oriented way we can build things”, it’s more like “what is the 80% of reliability we can get for 20% of the effort while still enabling devs to go fast”

The author also points out that these bullet points will not apply to every unique situation.

If your goal is to allow devs to go fast at the cost of more hardened code, then yes, skipping code coverage is a major way to code faster. There are definitely times when it is appropriate to skip writing tests when the primary goal is to go fast.

It's difficult to answer your question without knowing your specific situation though.

How do you manage this expectation when working in an environment where part of the office is in the physical building and part is fully remote? When we were all in the office (pre-covid), anybody could walk to your desk to have a face to face conversations.

My manager warned us not to deprioritize IM/calls or it could be used to justify reducing remote privileges (since there isn't a good face to face walk-up equivalent when remote).

I personally hated when people walked up to my desk without messaging me first, and I view unsolicited video calls the same way.

Many of the paper planners you can buy have layouts like this. Are you asking about a digital planner?

This is already in effect in Idaho. In my experience, the cyclists that ride dangerously do so regardless of this rule.

> I am currently plugged into my monitor which is providing power + USB. I didn't have to try three times to plug it in.

Unrelated to the plug orientation, occasionally my laptop fails to properly connect to my monitor over USB C (providing both data and power) until I have plugged it in several times. The issue could be either the monitor, laptop, or cable. This is just anecdata, but it shows how USB C alone hasn't solved the problem where it doesn't just work the first time.

> Even on something like a QNAP (which can be compared to managed hosting) this can be hard. Flip the wrong switch and you expose something to the world. Missed a security update: your device is now vulnerable.

It doesn't even require actively flipping switches, but can be from not knowing a vulnerable feature was enabled by default. My QNAP got hit with ransomware because of a vulnerability in the cloud access software that I wasn't even using. I've since locked down all non-local traffic.

Hey, that's about the same time that I had the same experience! I never wrote anything super complicated, but it got me interested enough to choose a Computer Engineering major when I applied to college.

It doesn't even need to be a special syringe. I've been able to unblock my ears with warm water and a bulb syringe. It probably takes more effort though since the bulb only holds so much water and has to constantly be refilled.

Oh, interesting. I once lost hearing in one ear due to wax blockage and finally got annoyed enough I went to an urgent care clinic. They used a wax softener and then a big syringe with warm water (and maybe something else mixed in) to irrigate my ear canal. That did the trick and cleared it out. I wonder what about using a syringe can be harmful?

I recently had daily-board .com registered for a hobby project. I thought it was a fun way to represent Daily "Dash"board, but everyone I told it to was confused.

Oh well, it was fun for a year.

No it cannot. It only supports Amazon's proprietary ebook formats: AZW and MOBI. I love the paperwhite, but the limited format support led me to choose a different ereader when I last bought a new one.

Edit: I know I could convert between formats, but that process is not always perfect and can lose important formatting.

Just be aware that the dot com domain for gimpshop was not created by the original author and contains malware in the download. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7481091

I'm pretty new to remote work life. Don't many companies adjust your salary based on where you live? It seems like this would counter the entire point of living somewhere cheaper.

My instant pot isn't consistent in temperature for saute or high heat. I heat up the milk in a separate pot and use an instant read thermometer to ensure it hits the correct temperature.

When you mix the culture into a small part of the milk, make sure to get that to a fairly smooth consistency before adding it to the rest. That also seems to help achieve a smoother result.

Any easy trick I use to help remember which to use is to replace who/whom with he/him to see which makes more sense in the context.

"He" could not grasp. => "Who" could not grasp.

I should vote for "him" => "Whom" should I vote for?

This sounds like the Hibernate Execution plan I found one time when it wasn't configured properly.

This might have changed since, but in 2017 LastPass had to work with Google to update how they run their app. Google introduced "a new policy restricting the use of Android Accessibility Services" [1]

I'd look into that before starting that implementation.

Just a heads up that your address is listed as "Wahsington, DC"

"Stundents" -> "Students"

I try my best!

I just finished reading this last week. I can see where certain sections need to be updated as they are less relevant in today's coding world.

Some of the topics covered in the book grew and became more popular (Unit testing frameworks like JUnit) and some did not (Blackboards).

The limit is 20mph for throttle powered electric bikes. The limit is at a higher 28mph for pedal-assist bikes.

For me, it's actually about having additional communication that didn't exist before Hangouts came out. My family is spread around the country and hardly visits or calls each other. With Hangouts, we suddenly started communicating more, and that's not something I want to revert.

According to what? There is no restriction when you register a domain. org is short for organization, just like com is short for company. I see lots of .com websites owned by individuals or non-companies. It is definitely a guideline and not a hard-fast rule. The only TLDs that are actually enforced are ones like .gov and .edu.

Why does it matter? There are so many available TLDs now that it shouldn't really matter which one you choose. Too many people seem to think that .org can only be used by non-profit organizations - which is simply not true.

I got this email, and lots of coworkers also did.

I believe the correct answer to that interview question would be "Follow the code style as established by the company, or keep it consistent within existing projects."

I apologize - I did not notice the slight variance in spelling and made a hasty assumption.
