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 sti…

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…

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.

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 whe…

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 s…

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 …

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 temper…

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. …

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 Accessi…

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

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 boo…

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…
