Eng leadership pings seems to be one of the few strategies that's been working on the hiring side for finding great talent the last few months

Rinse aid is an interesting topic. There's some evidence that it causes damage to the gut. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36464527/

Not to mention, lots of places have time of use electricity pricing which makes it even worse. This is the problem with running my heatpump when its cold, some of the coldest times (right before dawn) coincide with peak time-of-use prices

Reminds me of when we used to drive past a Pinetree Line station every summer on the way to visit my grandparents.

Is this detecting people who work overnights?

I have a kobo. The firmware is absolutely terrible. Somehow it's gotten itself to a state where it doesn't detect books that are added to the device, even after fully reseting the hardware

That number for w20 will probably change. For example, when https://youtu.be/2GgcIuQ4X5k?t=324 was produced w20 was predicted to be up 0.84% YoY.

the stubs can only do so much. There's so much magic and inferred properties that a type checker will never be able to fill in alone

maintainer of chartjs here.

It’s probably more performant. Chart.js isn’t designed for a ton of data and we recommend sampling before visualization . We have a builtin plugin that does a form of min/max sampling to retain peaks but cut down on the amount of data points drawn

etimberg — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 13:13:53 +0000

Maybe this will work on the weekends, but in general V2X (or the older V2G ideas) are just a dumb concept. No driver wants to go out to their car and find that it has no charge because they didn't plan their trip ahead of time. The value of a vehicle is that you can use it whenever it's needed

What otel really needs to succeed, at least in the python space, is something as easy and straightforward as DataDog's ddtrace command.

Until you run your server behind something like gunicorn and all of the auto imports stop working and you have to do it all yourself.

Generally that's why the soft skills questions generally want a response in a STAR (situation, task, action, result) format. It's a lot harder to lie about a story and keep yourself consistent through a back and forth.

Government backed SSO is probably how this ends up. I suspect we get to it because it also solves the election influencing issues that western democracies are seeing

I assume you don’t have kids because as the parent of a toddler this is a terrible idea. The last thing a toddler needs is AI hallucinations “teaching” them
