    Has it continued to outperform Wealthfront during the past couple of weeks, where the markets have been trending more downward? Curious if SoFi has a higher-risk 'high-risk' settin…

    Similiar here - we had some older Zigbee / Z-Wave switches that were constantly breaking. Switched everything to Lutron, rock solid since then. The Pico remotes are incredible - we…

    I've been a big Retool user lately, this looks like a pretty nice competitor! I like that you've got some workflow components in here. How are the applications stored internally? I…

    Had the same experience staying at a AirBnB in Vancouver. In that case it was a unit where (unbeknownst to me) the condo board had banned AirBnB, so we were instructed after bookin…

    GraphQL actually makes a fantastic frontend for a microservices architecture. We have several GRPC services that drive a suite of applications, we wrap those in a graphql schema an…

    You can get 'As-Builts' made, we did this recently in preparation for some remodel work - often people looking to break into home design will look to do them. I would check with ho…

    Sounds like Atlassians approach with Jira - "it supports markdown, except when it doesn't!"

    There is actually a pilot program to allow full day preschools in WA. Our son goes to one of them, their class travels to parks outside of the school. More info here: https://www.d…

    There is a lot of gear involved... our son wears long underwear, wool socks, proper rain jacket / pants...and we're in a relatively mild climate. I think that's one of the benefits…

    My son goes to one of these. We moved him out of another (indoor) preschool. He loves it - the kids seem to get along better, he's been more well behaved, and it seems to foster hi…

    I've found it depends on the bootcamp. There are a select few that do a good job and produce solid junior developers, but the VAST majority are trash and produce developers similar…

    100% agree. I would argue Big 0, or [insert abstract CS concept here] is drastically overrated in importance. We're much more interested in someones propensity to learn new skills …

    Lowes / HD have absolute trash for product - at the very least I recommend people source from their local building supplier.

    We're using them for a client, and pretty much every client I've worked with lately is using them. I think they'll be just fine, it's still a good product.
