All the independent cleaner's I could find wanted $400 a week to clean. I've tried 2 different cleaners and fired them both after 4 weeks. They only spend about ~3 hours here a week, so I'm paying over $130/hr... and they didn't even do that great of a job. I guess I should try a third? This robot is tempting though.
... they pay low income people $2-5, literally, to be the face of their scalping. It's like gig work for those people. The worker uses their own name, address, and credit card even to make the purchase. The scalper reimburses them + $5.
I do not really like applying the "if we did it, they will too when they can!" logic to other government's.
China has flaws, plenty of them, but there's no real evidence to believe their motivations or mechanisms of pursuing motivations are that similar to that of the United States.
I'd love to do all 3, and actively push my city council to prioritize rezoning for mixed use + medium density.. and eliminating parking minimums. I previously lived in NYC and it was true like the author said; I could have boundless weekend trips to a variety of places with Amtrak + Bus service.
This is great unless you live in an area of almost absolute geographic and social homogeny in a 100 mile / 160 km radius. "Yo friends, want to drive an hour and see if the fast food in a strip mall is the same as our fast food in a strip mall" just doesn't quite land or "Want to drive 45 minutes and walk in a park that was built in the early aughts and lacks proper shade and had all it's benches removed just like ours?"
I once saw the bad side of one of these draconian state laws many years ago. People rarely have the misfortune of hitting these laws in some flyover states... and I remember the local judge being really shocked by the mandated penalties for such a simple offense.
idk I just like running 6/8 terminal panes and organizing my workflows / projects in an exact space. I even tweaked my theme. and seeing them all on my side portrait monitor.
The biggest problem is the author didn't even bother to verify it. I've seen big multi-model ralph wiggum or whatevers do a conversion. Run for 6 hours. Upon manual inspection to understand how it handled some tricky calculations / logic I find stubs and hard coded truthy returns. So even if you ran a smoke test suite against it -- you'd think it successful...
The value in paying someone is if you have enterprise requirements for physical data security. Then after that if you go the Hetzner route, you have to micromanage your underlying OS, Redis, DB, etc... and it's just more work.. and if you're in enterprise business it reduces friction a lot to just pay someone a trivial amount like $10,000 a month.
anecdotally; this is why I now use fb marketplace exclusively to sell stuff. cash only. meet in person; feel free to test / inspect stuff. All sales are final and are as-is.
I think given the scale of projects worked on / being estimated (8 to 9 figure projects) -- it's unlikely we'd be willing to test on our real CAD files. Any chance for enterprise hosted solutions that aren't on the cloud?
What is the implications / meaning of that? If a software comes from a trusted source and there's adequate mechanisms to make sure file contents aren't stolen / accessed -- why be concerned with who else has the same software?
Also, in the construction industry you get an updated drawing file a day before the bidding closes... good luck getting the GC to send more detailed files (that they themselves got elsewhere) in that time. You're better off sending it to your estimation department in India and letting them work through the night to put together the new estimations.
Not a boring application, a very large application -- each major version update was a tedious process because they completely upended many APIs.
We've migrated to shadcn, and upgrades are now easy; we can upgrade a single component -- add the new ones free.
With MaterialUI we had to update EVERYTHING to their new APIs to be able to take advantage of the new features anywhere.
With shadcn we can be selective.
