One reason to consider is around context usage with LLMs. Less is generally better and README.md files are often too much text some of which I don’t want in every context window. I…

Yes, trucks typically are running with the generator constantly on scene. Also many pumps are run on a PTO system where the transmission is put into a pump gear, further wearing on…

These numbers for trucks paired with the 3+ year wait times are very real. It hits small communities the hard because they have a small tax base but still need a certain amount of …

There very well may be something more effective than water but the economics are probably a barrier here. Water has some pretty amazing at absorbing heat considering how abundant i…

It's also worth keeping in mind that rural fire departments that all have tanker trucks typically carry only 1,500-3,000 gallons and need to continuously fill up from a pump site, …

This was a good read, as someone using K8s a lot in the last two years but not service meshes yet, it gave me a lot to think about. I understand there are various advantages like m…

Might seem like and odd one to some but I became a volunteer firefighter and it has been very rewarding for many reasons but the connection with the community is a big one (most me…

100% agree, taking huge unhedged duration risk and then loading up on negatively convex MBS again unhedged is so crazy.

The chart titled “Impact of unrealized securities losses on capital ratios” really shows just how inadequate the tier 1 capital ratio is (what regulators use). Ignoring the impact …

I like the goal of reducing dependency on SaaS product. I use these Strava/Garmin apps a lot and while Strava was cool for a while it hasn’t progressed and doesn’t feel worth the m…

Im not sure I agree with this. If you have a lot of extra taxable money just put it in a taxable investment account and keep some lowing amount in checking to handle bills. Keeping…

I can see how you came to wanting this but I think it could lead to dangers for many. For most people (this is not financial advice for any one person) money in checking and saving…

There is a lot of skepticism around financial advisors and rightful so given the track record of many (picking insanely expensive funds, charging high fees themselves, etc.) Howeve…

This is very slick and well executed. I especially appreciate the thought that went into data transfer (making it opt in, otherwise stays client side). I have a CFA and have been i…

Python is certainly more popular and for job prospects I always tell that to newer data folks. That being said if you want to load in some data do some SQL like manipulation, run s…

This is exactly the kind of book I was looking for. I learn best by building projects. It’s not the syntax that is hard, it’s learning how experienced python devs do things (coming…

Cool idea. I played around with something using texting as the primary controller for users and I quickly found Twilio quite expensive. I stumbled upon SignalWire and it made the c…

If you like the Economist then you might like Bloomberg Business Week. I know I expected it to be bad but it’s actually wonderful. The design team is amazing. I find it the perfect…

The best thing I ever learned in sales is people must be comfortable to be successful. Find something relatable and that will often lead to comfort which will lead to a productive …

Makes total sense, I only used LiveView for a new project that I started within the last year, I can imagine it being tough to only use a little bit in an existing app, especially …

Yes, Abinsthe is quite incredible! I have used it with react and vue and had some success. However lately whenever liveview is the right fit I find myself fist pumping all over the…

Congrats on the launch. As a fellow elixir enthusiast I wanted to say nice work integrating the client side and pulling this together, you are doing a ton of stuff all at once. I d…

The closed end funds can be tricky if yields start to rise as the leverage they use gets more expensive. Frankly I am not much of a muni expert so hard for me to speak about munis …

Morningstar is just putting information out there, they have all sorts of language saying they are not giving you investment advice so there isnt much recourse there as far as I am…
