I learned very fast after purchasing my home that hiring out to a contractor made so much more sense. They can get done in a day what would take me a month+ of weekends.

pg seems to think we would be scandalized by this math, when all I feel is “so?”. The language politicians use to sell to a general public does not have any correlation to their un…

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that when people talk about the Death of SaaS, they are not talking about $20/month consumer apps. They are talking about six-figure+ ente…

When there are huge unknowns, such as in the case of a remodel where who knows what you might find once the drywall is removed, then yes. I happily worked with a contractor on a ba…

People have definitely used ebikes for bikepacking as well. Not sure about BMX.

I dunno. Insights from Monarch have easily saved me many times the annual cost. Other tools could as well of course, but the ease-of-use makes it easy to maintain

I suspect that for a large number of orgs accepting over-provisioning would be significantly cheaper than the headcount required for a more sophisticated approach while allowing fa…

Thank you for this link! I've been wondering if it is possible these days to replace Fusion for my workflow, and this is exactly what I need to see

Modern geothermal is dispatchable. It's a really good compliment to wind and solar https://climateinstitute.ca/safe-bets-wild-cards/advanced-ge...

Why don’t you try that, convert the output to OTLP and then write about it?

Given it can output 180Nm I expect this thing can get up whatever hill you point it at

Title seems slightly exaggerated since by my reading there was no actual $3000 / month bill? Still a great use-case This seems like a good idea to have plentiful dev environments a…

Yes, many such cases

From the article: “Huge machine - 8 CPUs, 16 GB of memory” That’s barely more than a raspberry pi? (4 vs 8 cores) Huge machines today have 20+ TBs of RAM and hundreds of cores. Eve…
