I've always firmly believed that I am not good in a people leading position, and that I excel as an IC.

I never ended up finding a new group in the company, as a company-wide layoff of software engineers ended my relationship with them.

I just found a new role as an IC, and I couldn't be happier.

And when you work with an offshore team, quite often as contractors, you have the issue that you don't get top quality.

The in-between company will do its very best to hire low to maximize profit.

The good quality developers work either on local grown software, or leave the country for better opportunity.

And you are now working with a group of developers whose livelihood depends on saying 'yes' or not saying 'no.

And because of this you will not know whether there is an issue in the requirements until x time later and the plane goes down.

And the filter saw .dll and denied my request.

Edit: yes, seemingly. Good, now I can get rid of my Honeywell/Resideo thermostats that came with the house.

If you ever had a Nest (one that learns how long it takes to heat up a room and preemptively shuts down heating) you'll never want a dumb one afterwards.

Then on April 1st, 2004 Google launched wasn't an April 1st joke... GMail with 1GB! I remember getting a beta invite and inviting others.

But, because of this someone can have a Pineapple with a Starbucks SSID, push option 121 and capture a WHOLE bunch of traffic, even though the person using it has configured NordVPN on their iPhone with the killswitch on.

Anecdotally, this is something I've experienced in the USA more than in Europe. When I ask a question in store a lot of times I get the feeling that the person answering considers themselves an expert and quickly make claims that I know for a fact are false.

It's like in the USA saying "I don't know, but let me get someone who does" isn't allowed.

I read the article with my limited knowledge and I couldn't find an explanation for this statement. Can someone elaborate?

I remember a podcast about this. Maybe Reply All. But I cannot find it anymore.

Let's sous-vide a steak for 2 hours, and then throw it in a hot pan with oil, without drying off the steak. You'll get a lot of smoke, which will probably set of any kind of ionizing smoke detector.

Whether you're cooking on gas or electric at that moment really doesn't matter.

What matters is that you have a _PROPER_ range hood. One that vents outside and one that isn't integrated into a microwave oven.

This is also good for places that rent out stuff, but have a fine print like 'mandatory refuel fee of $x'.

If it's mandatory it should be part of the price.

Bring this to AZ please.

AM is free. FM doesn't have the range. Mobile Apps require subscription AND cell service. With 3G and 4G going away range is actually getting worse. Satellite (SiriusXM) also requires a subscription.

So what do we do? Free SiriusXM? That still requires someone to connect to a broadcasting station that sends it up to the satellite, and then the satellite broadcasts it, after which I can hear it on the radio.

AM just makes more sense.
