Interesting! I’ve noticed less hangover effects when drinking herbal tea before bed as well. I even use unintentionally have a/b(ish) tested this with water and have much better results with tea.
I thought maybe the warm water was doing the trick, but maybe now ill test different tea. So far team with tulsi seem to work well for me.
I was programming at home for my job last week and heard my free reigning chickens make a lot of noise.
Went outside and saw a coyote with one of them in it's mouth.
I chased it away. I'm sick of being in front of a screen all day, but grateful I don't have to worry about being killed by wild animals on a daily basis.
One of my first personal projects when learning how to program was generating sheet music for scales. Maybe I'll try to adapt some of the logic here to do that, someday.
I love the spirit of this. Simple reference tools for mobile devices or tablets, maybe with the ability to print things, could be leveraged more in the world.
Look into Oeufs Brouillés (French Scrambled Eggs) for cooking on stainless steel. Low heat and constant whisking - the eggs are so fluffy and delicious! And cleanup is easy.
As a distributed team, I like the live interaction our daily standup provides. To stay focused on blockers, we share the yesterday/today portion of the update in Slack.
This leaves our 10 minute stand up as a convenient forum for announcements and some virtual hallway conversation.
I'm an engineer on the step-by-step Explanations team - if interested in learning more, shoot me an email (scott @ quizlet.com) and we can chat! Maybe this violates the objective of the OP - but it sounds like we'd have fun collaborating. We'd just be getting paid by the same company to do so.
I have ADHD (probably - I am diagnosed but don't fully trust the diagnosis testing). I think it makes me struggle more with general programming, but I thrive with creative engineering thinking: things like challenging the status quo, sharing motivational energy at the right time, and hyper focusing when I construct an environment to do so efficiently.
I think all of the accommodations listed would benefit a general workforce, and do not consider it a disability accommodations guide, but rather a best practice guide.
> getting a flat fixed because it has a slow leak and the tires have the acoustic foam inside them that prevents using green slime
I had the same issue with Costco and another tire shop refusing to patch a nail in my 2020 Model Y tire.
I tried a Discount Tire - they fixed it within a few hours for free, with a smile. They only asked I consider purchasing from them when I'm in the market for new tires.
Agree that extra online market is not good, but I am lucky and have an awesome, locally owned family shop right by my house (Guitar city / drum land in wheat ridge colorado). They are great, usually beat Guitar Center prices by ~10% via bonus gear or cash discounts, and has a more legit musician feel to the store.
If GC ends up closing, hope more local shops can benefit.
Kent Beck was one of the first software engineers I admired when getting into the field 7 years ago!
We are undergoing a mono->service shift at our company, and I think for reasons in agreement with this article. The main goals being to handle persistence of high write data beyond stable capabilities of our monolith, build services whose logic perspective deviates from the monolith (recommendations, text generation, search), and add new features that have a clear purpose and boundaries thought decoupled services.
But we still invest in the monolith, and develop all important things on it. It's our camel.
We use repl.it in an AP Computer Science course I co-teach. Incredible tool for students who are learning Java, allowing them to code and collaborate on their Chromebooks, no Java local setup required.
The AP CS course exercises and concepts don't require persistence of data, but this could really open up opportunities for students to create more advanced projects!
