I don't really trust Google to not break Nest integrations.

I wasn't following it then, but Google phased out earlier "works with nest".

Last year, the oauth for HA's nest addon broke. Supposedly they did work with Google folks to ensure a smooth transition. It works now.

But ultimately we use Nest with HA at Google's discretion. Part of the strength of HA is its ability to use cloud-free, local-only infrastructure, meaning it won't break on the whim of a megacorp.

Portland had 96 homicides in 2022. San Francisco had 55 and Seattle had ~50. Both of those cities are much larger than Portland.

COVID allowed my company to put everyone on the same level. It was wonderful while it lasted.

Unfortunately, the drive to "collaboration" has sprung up again in our senior ranks, who I think felt uncomfortable not being able to lay eyes on heads. Once again the remote folks are peripheral, literally. A lot of time and bandwidth is now wasted on arguing why it's necessary to arbitrarily be in the office one or three days per week, especially for people working independently on projects. Almost every leadership town hall has employees questioning why they agian have t sit in traffic and hunt for workspace while the closest colleague—the one they do real collaboration with—is actually a thousand miles away.
I do therapy, meditation and try to do stuff with my hands (right now I’m building a balsa wood RC plane). I also try to wake up very eary despite not liking it, seeing the sun as much as I can and generally trying to move a bit more.
Aside from the annoyance of the lifestyle of tourists vs residents, you miss out on having a normal neighbor who you can build a relationship over time with. Our neighbors keep a key, water plants while we're away, babysit our kids, generally look out for each other.

SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract - Remote from US

I build scrappy solutions to complex problems with high ambiguity. As a solo person I can scope, design, and build end-to-end products.

I'm a serial founder who's built and sold multiple companies, and I've held leadership roles in engineering + product at major companies like Webflow and Trusted Health. But, my passion is building things - and I use my background in software and product to companies develop and launch products.

Here are some recent projects I've completed:

- Built a collaboration tool for AI researchers to evaluate their work at a government contractor

- Managed the transition and handover of a web application in a private equity transaction

- Prototyped a new data tool leveraging OpenAI for a startup and helped them get a first user

- Helped a non-technical crypto founder develop a business plan around a concept, resulting in pre-empted term sheet for a seed round.

- Designed a shift-swapping solution for an enterprise workforce management tool that is now used by tens of thousands of people per day

I've worked in a variety of web stacks ranging including Next.js, Rails, Vue, Go, Laravel, and Kubernetes. I'm an advanced user of Stripe, including their Connect product for marketplaces.

Here are a couple of projects I've built solo:

> SpaceX certainly will not.

That's always been a stated goal of SpaceX to do exactly that. That's why they funded on their own dime the development of a massive reusable vehicle that has literally no reason to be that large unless your explicit plan is to design it for interplanetary cargo.

> Almost all of SpaceX's income, absent Starlink subscription fees, traces to tax dollars.

Not true. As stated explicitly by SpaceX in several years ago, the revenue split of SpaceX was 1/3 NASA, 1/3 other government and 1/3 commercial. But in recent years the commercial fraction has dramatically increased (simply as evidenced by the tremendous numbers of missions happening from non-government customers).
The major reasons software exploded are the internet and the ubiquity of computing devices that get cheaper, faster, and smaller. Language had nothing to do with it, with or without OOP.

I was formally trained and cut my teeth in OOP code bases and my latest company we are very light on classes. 99% is plain objects and modules that operate on them. Everything is very straightforward and logical. In my side projects I’ve stopped using classes as well and it’s so much cleaner.

This is opinion and preference. If I hired a guy who wanted to litter the code base with AbstractUserBeanFactoryFactories I’d have to let them go because it’s a situation I don’t want anymore.

I don't know what type of gas meter you have in uk so this might not work for you but I used a aqara door/window sensor without the plastic case stuck under the meter digits. There's a magnet embedded in the last digit so it will trigger it once per revolution. It looks like this: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/gas-meter-from-xiaomi-... .I saw that others 3d printed an enclosure and moved the reed sensor closer, but, i just wrapped it in electrical tape and it's been sitting there for 6 months without an issue.

This is mostly a mixed bag. Less kids with obvious outwards anxiety, but quite a few that share things that definitely lead you to believe they will have anxiety if they dont already.

I would say generally the big differentiator is that the kids who are meaner/less empathetic are the ones with less anxiety, regardless of wealth status.

Overall though, anxiety is definitely just a massive problem among youth.
I recall it differently. I ran a packet radio bbs when that was very active. What really killed it was the availability of internet for everyone. Usage just faded. As a result of this fading, efforts to build high speed uhf backbones faded away.
PlantingSpace | REMOTE | Full-time | https://planting.space

What we are currently hiring for:

- Senior Software Engineers: to build symbolic components of our core system

- Numerical Analysis Researchers: to analyze our learning algorithm as a dynamical system

We are a research and development startup, with an ambitious goal to build a system capable of understanding knowledge, to answer questions and get things done.

Our work leverages cutting-edge domains such as Probabilistic Programming and Applied Category Theory. Initially we’re focussed on building a system that can receive queries in natural or domain specific language, provide good answers and an insight into its reasoning. Our core is built in Julia, but we will also consider skills in other production languages, such as Haskell, Clojure, OCaml, Rust and C++.

It's easier to discard companies by looking up their points of support. If there's not even a phone number where I can get a real person to talk to, that's an immediate out. Typically, then I just ask users about their experience. If I hear stuff like them wasting hours on the phone or not getting any meaningful replies that's also an out. In the end sometimes I end up choosing the less worse version, not going through with any service at all, but there's been rare cases where support was so good that I wouldn't even mind having trouble at all since I know there's always ways to work around them.
I'll second this opinion. A lot of people will already have their passwords saved in their browser but not even realize that this is an example of what people mean when they hear "password manager". I'm not sure about iOS (as I haven't owned an iPhone before), but at least on Android, there's a setting to let the Chrome password manager auto-fill across the entire system rather than just in the browser. The path of least resistance for most people is probably just to turn settings like that on (and optionally, if their existing passwords are not secure e.g. due to reuse across sites, go through their list of saved passwords, log into each site, and change their password to one generated from the browser password manager).

I'm talking about trust in a slightly different sense.

I'm talking about trust in a sense of - if I give you some feedback on something e.g.

"Hey I noticed that in our Zoom meetings you've had your camera off recently - we have a team working agreement that we try to keep cameras on in meetings to make remote work more tolerable. It makes me worried that you're checked out"

If there is a baseline level of trust in the relationship, that means the recipient trusts that I have their best interests at heart, and I am trying to
help them through feedback, not attack them. The giver of the feedback trusts that the message will be well received.

Having this kind of trust encourages feedback, which leads growth. If you don't have this trust, everyone follows the path of least resistance of not giving feedback.

I think that especially in remote work, peer to peer feedback is such an important avenue for professional growth. Especially when a manager has 8 reports and doesn't really know what's going on.

Perhaps you disagree on the importance of feedback. But if not, then perhaps you disagree on the importance of trust in giving feedback. If so I'm curious as to whether you always find it easy to give and receive it regardless of who you're talking to?
At least partly because they're not allowed to do that because there are specific rules about it. If banks could just say "so sad, too bad", they absolutely would. I know someone who had to resort to the financial ombudsman to get their money after a hack because the "bank" (Revolut or Monzo) would not engage with them to even acknowledge anything had happened.

Pretty much this is what banks try if they can: https://youtube.com/watch?v=CS9ptA3Ya9E

How to Carbon Tax Yourself in 10 Minutes
To try to avoid confusion:

Most of what DWave have done is making a special-purpose analog computer that happens to use some quantum effects (maybe). It is an interesting analog computer, but not necessary a useful one. There is some hope that what they are doing would lead to what everyone else calls "scalable quantum computer", but for years they have been quite misleading in what they say. They have used scientific terms like "quantum computer" in ways that have little to do with what the rest of the scientific community means. They have lost a ton of good will to the point that I personally am extremely mistrustful of any claims they make. What they have done has significantly damaged the trust that the public had in my field of research.

I've grown and run big(-ish) and small companies as CTO and even general manager, though I'm probably best when close to the programmers and code.

Mainly looking for 3-6 month engagements to help out tech managers under pressure, take on interim leadership roles, help grow your team, or get your (legacy) code base in shape for what the business needs.

My approach is to spend a few months of focused time, help you make and train the right hires and then gently move into regular consultations. That's big talk, since I'm just starting out with this consulting business of mine :P But I did do all of the above before as employee or shareholder.

I'm happy to take on-site work in my area or do some traveling, but since almost all the teams I've built were either fully remote or hybrid, that's certainly my strength.

E-mail me for a free consultation if interested.
Yea, your best bet for non cloud/internet stuff is to stick with Zigbee or Zwave. I have a Trane Zwave thermostat https://www.zwaveproducts.com/collections/trane/products/xr5... that’s worked well for several years.

For a more advanced use case I’ve recently set it up so that the thermostat logic is within HASS. An automation driven by a binary switch helper then switches the thermostat to a fixed hot or cold value for heat and AC. Then I can feed the HASS thermostat with whatever temperature sensor data I want, like an average of multiple sensors around the house. All this is totally optional though if you just want to control the thermostat from within HASS.

A better solution is to negotiate the late payment penalty in the contract itself, then just add the late payment penalty as a line item on future invoices.

Don’t put it on the invoice of payment is close to on time, and waive the first late payment (if the other payments are close to on time). When waiving it, put the late payment fee in the invoice and and another line item waiving it. In whatever communication channel you send the invoice, note that they had a late payment, and that since it’s the first time you’ve waived it.
AI is here to help, not replace
I was worried about my job but after some research I found out:

As a graphic designer, you may be wondering how AI will impact your job. While it is true that AI can assist with certain tasks, such as image recognition and simple design tasks, it is not capable of fully replacing the creativity and unique perspective that only a human designer can bring to the table.

For example, AI may be able to generate basic designs based on a set of parameters, but it cannot understand the nuances and subtleties of design that a human can. It cannot take into account the brand's personality, target audience, and design trends, or apply design principles such as balance and hierarchy.

In fact, AI can even help to free up time for designers to focus on more complex, high-level projects. So, embrace the technology and let it enhance your work, rather than replacing it. The future of design is a collaborative effort between humans and AI, and together we can create truly innovative and effective designs.
It went through less major updates than Microsoft has went through UI toolkits. GTK2 programs such as GIMP still run perfectly in modern GNOME and integrate awesomely. Even if you count Qt applications for the Linux desktop it still is more consistent and stable than Microsoft's megalomaniac search for the "perfect" UI toolkit.

Grit | Senior PL / ML Engineers | New York, San Francisco, or Remote | Full-time | $120–250k + equity

We’re building software to automatically fix technical debt. We do this by combining expressive static analysis tooling (we’ve built a developer-friendly query language for code) with machine learning to automatically migrate code to new patterns and platforms. We’re still in private beta, but have deployed thousands of successful changes for initial customers and have raised a large seed round from top investors (Founders Fund, 8VC, Abstract Ventures).

We’ve got lots of fun challenges at the intersection of machine learning and programming languages. Our stack is Scala, Rust, TypeScript, Python, and Kubernetes. We’re hiring for both smart generalists and PL/ML experts who are interested in collaborating on problems like automatically inserting new types into codebases and using unit tests for reinforcement learning.

Here are a few reasons you might be interested in applying:

- We work fast and focus on shipping, with a single meeting per week.

- We’re working on the edge of the possible and doing deep technical work in parsers/language design and machine learning. This isn't your average SaaS.

- We mostly work in-person in New York and San Francisco, but remote is also possible for outstanding candidates who have proven success in a remote model.

- I’m personally committed to giving real feedback to everyone who applies.
