My mom got to test one of these for like 3 months. While only a 2 seater, it was a super cool car. For the time it was very modern. And it was very quiet, it had a gentle horn you …

Isn't part of it the dealer network as well? They've existed so long on service money, they were actively pushing people away from the Lightning because the service needs were so l…

I've had the same issue and go so far as to remove the streaming stuff from my Pihole to make sure it wasn't a DNS filtering issue. Paramount+ app still is sketchy as hell sometime…

I thought the openstack swift API was pretty clean, but i'm biased.

Not sure about yours, but many extractor (vent) fans will just suck the air over a very loose filter and throw it back into the room. Many in the US are part of the over stove micr…

I used the underwear+multiboard for my under desk organization and it’s excellent.

Many times its easier to look back over a period of time and see the differences than when you are gradually exposed to those things over time. Thats kind of how I'm understanding …

I feel like its unfair to say every single direct manager doesn't care about their folks. I care about each and every person on my team, I care if they are engaged and if they can …

This is a really cool project. When I was at Unity, we had a team build a Westworld themed isometric Gameboy game that would let you monitor and admin k8s!

Unfortunately the malevolence comes when your manager was trying to do something out of scope and pushing the team in a direction to win some points, and failed miserably. And then…

I think the thing that is trying to be solved is promotions, raises, etc. But there is this concept in larger, older companies that this needs to be done once a year. But there is …

This is exactly correct. Toxic management (i won't call them leaders). I left because of my last manager, but I miss the company. If they did care, some good engagement studies/sur…

I had a colleague who had recently become a manager ask me "so wait, people always have to be growing and advancing? What if they just got promoted and they want to do that for a w…

very odd. i was thinking some kind of firmware whatever deployment gone wrong, but maybe it is something more nefarious.

usually redundancy. but as these companies squeeze more and more out of gear, we risk large cascade failures that are hard to recover from. could also have been some kind of firmwa…

i was showing none with iphone 14, wife had like 2 bars with her iphone 11. i wonder if its just part of the newer infrastructure.

MLS also lists the rates the house is paying out. ie, the usual rate for selling a house is 6% and 1/2 goes to the selling agent and 1/2 goes to the buying agent. this is outside a…
