    You’re right. I work far more from home on average. When I worked from the office I had so many interruptions. We’d also take Wednesday and Friday afternoons to play table-top game…

    This is really cool. As a software guy, how can I learn more about making PCBs (other than the linked blog)?

    Isn't that an issue with who provides the UTMA account?

    You can track it separately, but if you use a database like DynamoDB using a ULID as the SK leads to optimized access patterns. If you use a UUID as your SK, then sort order of two…

    Funnily enough the paper you are citing has that quote but they cite another paper. The paper they cite says “It has been suggested that perhaps as little as 8% of dental care is j…

    It’s been years since a PPO has been worth it for my family. An HDHP with ~7,000 out of pocket max has been the best we could get via our employers.

    The serverless framework makes lambda for side projects a breeze. CDK for everything else.

    Been using DynamoDB for years and haven’t had to do any of the hacks you talk about doing. Not using ruby though. TCP keep-alive does help with perf though (which I think you might…
