Last time I herd c# had best cloudstart performance on lambda.

I watch YouTube videos without engaging in comments.

Mostly related to machining and physics and electronics.

I've always eaten at 2pm lunch and 8pm dinner.

No snacks, no tea, no coffee. Only water to quench thrist.

Having said that most of my work is technical in nature and I am a partime machinist. Basically, after completing my development work at 5pm - I work in my machine shop for an hour or two everyday.

There was a point in my life when I hated work as commute, lunch breaks, even outside noise disruption and other things at my workplace like bathroom breaks were enjoyable escapements.

Then I started working from home and now I am very happy

I work on some interesting side projects at my home and this has improved my productivity on boring company tasks.

But why I don't get interesting company work? Mostly because boring task pays well.

If the produce is lost, it's tax deductible

If the produce goes back to soil, it's an expense and next time it will result in higher output.

Budget driver circuit which is designed to be cheapest and using least number of components often isn't tolerant.

Quality of grid has huge influence on life of LED. Basically, the drive circuit needs to be of pretty robust to guard against voltage fluctuations and surges which kill led.

Not sure if there is something user can do to protect their house from grid quality issues.

I've many times tried to people make money but they get pretty defensive with their ideas and dreams and their plans, so I've decided different way, I drop them hints if I care for them enough and move on.

A lot of people just look at cause Vs effect in a wrong w

In my long experience, website doesn't do much.

Most of the business I've got in consulting field is through word of mouth and you spend sometime on call with the customer to understand what exactly they want and what you can offer to them at what price point and if you've previous successful projects to show off to them.

Getting project from a customer who approaches you is really easy provided you've experienced and I start by understanding their requirements then offering them deep domain expertise overview of how we are going to slice and dice the problem at hand.

Now ofc, if you don't have much experience with the domain - the person in front of you'll easily detect your BS.

Websites doesn't really help much other than opening a line of communication and probably displaying some previous customers, success and maybe your company address / size.

Who works at 12:00IST in India?

If we let them crash and burn.

Shouldn't welfare and free will go directly against it each other?

If someone crashes and burns, society has to pay for it through taxes where all members of the society suffer because one of them has crashed and burned.

Meanwhile, if you remove this person's agency to crash and burn, you've saved society from scarifice but you removed that person's free will.

If higher education is all about networking then why they've not been disrupted by cheaper ways to network?

Why there exists nothing other than higher education institute charging arm and leg for people to network?

Can't we have simple institute where people simply go to brainstorm on random stuff and with no focus on grades or anything at all.

We've a huge app, we use managed document database from major PaaS and we've our own mysql which syncs to Document database. Problem with document database is that it can't run complex queries but advantage is that data is safe in the hand of the major cloud operator.

We've never lost a single piece of data since we started using it.

Actually I drank nothing as we didn't feel like buying milk.

I came from tribal origin with nomadic goat and sheep herders recent ancestors. Life is not easy there but sense of community is strong and lifespans are at par with cities with best healthcare despite not having good healthcare facilities there. Not sure how it compares to people who are homless in cities.

Being from the tribal origin I've been conned by city dwellers a lot before I wised up. In tribe we trust everyone, there is no need to be shrewed and sense of community and living together in harmony is valued above everything else.

Maybe they've some data based on which they are against remote work, and maybe that data will not be shared to public as they might have come up to conclusion that more remote work in their customers is better for an app like slack

Has anyone ever seen the luxury fashion items and where they come from? You find Chinese cramped up in small home shops, churning out the produce like bags with violation of all safety codes and they simply bribe the police in Italy.

Then luxuries Italian brands stamp their logo on top of it and it's ready to be sold in big city showrooms.

Heck, a lot of Italian shoe brands are buying their leather shoes from Uttar Pardesh, India.

Maybe not all luxury fashion brand production looks like this, but atleast some part does.

Come to India and buy your leather quality handmade shoes for less than $100 and let me know if you find any quality difference between $700 shoes and $100 shoes without lable.

During lockdown I quit coffee cold turkey, I didn't feel anything. No changes in energy level or anything. I don't even feel anything other than the flavor difference between tea and coffee.

And we had read Mediterranean diet and lifestyle which involves lot of walking is responsible for their better health outcomes

How much of that could be simply genetic diversity?

Ofc, it's just an example. I realized later I made mistake, till then edit window was gone.

I've been using clickhouse with our 100gb click log data per day. It just works, before that we were using bigquery and bigquery was cheaper than our home brewed solution :(

So now we use two together, only recent data that's available for fast querying for user dashboard is served from clickhouse cluster.

And old data were customer is willing to be more tolerant to slow responses upto 2seconds is served by bigquery.

Mostly because mirrors aren't perfect.

Let's say if a mirror can reflect 99% of the light that hits it, and we shot it with 1kw laser. That means 100w is still heating the mirror and it might melt or shatter it.

I found this video https://youtu.be/kpsN78mQ6YY

They use a laser pointer to measure width of a hair.

You can measure width of a hair using laser pointer: https://youtu.be/kpsN78mQ6YY

The one in video is ivermectin and doxycycline.

Why run locally? Isn't it better to have cloud build service?

Last time I was installing panels, panel were fairly cheap.

More expensive were inverter, controller, batteries.

>or that the labour costs are too high (also true for Germany, which has a thriving manufacturing export industry)

Germany can get packaged cheap labor from East of Europe when they need it.

Infact, a lot of German companies have their labor intensive units in East.

Only highly automated manufacturing and management/finance and R&D work in done in Germany.

Australia doesn't have the same advantage which Germany have had for years now:

I've also served on company boards which believed "if the product is cheaply available then it will be considered low quality by the end user regardless of how much better it is in comparison to the competitor, so we must not drop the price and keep our margins high, take out more in profits".

They also say, "competing on price is for losers, it's race to bottom and at the end we'll have no margins left"

Those with Mac development experience. What's the earliest way to make a screenshot app?
