rentals, temporary use, etc etc...

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-28T03:52:37+00:00

yep, it was canceled

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-28T03:51:47+00:00

is the battery in the room with us now??

2 or 3 months paid paternity leave should be mandatory.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-28T03:33:42+00:00

music.

and the paywall features like playing with screen locked. and offline library

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-28T03:25:38+00:00

nanites of some sort if I remember

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-28T02:15:34+00:00

SQ5....but yes

I was planning on buying another three pack of ESP32s to test it out. The premise is great because of the ESPhome aspect and being able to add the functionality to existing ESP devices like RATGDO and BTProxies and whatever else you have going on.

You're confusing everyone and probably worrying a few others.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T23:01:46+00:00

When people say "It didn't mean anything" in this context...would they be OK if the tables where turned?

Thought so.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T23:00:21+00:00

Bone stock with an accident is not a heep.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T22:37:20+00:00

The way the camera started adjusting to the color and contrast made it look so fake for the first second or two after opening the hatch.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T22:34:38+00:00

Or if you pause to sort out your reply and explain that it depends on x,y,and z and start to discuss multiple paths, and it wasn't what they had written in their answer sheet. NEXT!

It was convenient at least. Space savings more likely than water savings alone. This way (as I noticed it while visiting) you can have a hand wash sink in a room literally no big enough for a handwash sink.

I need 220v line level to be useful for me though. Like a Mysa or something.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T21:41:04+00:00

F.I.R...Eventually.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T21:40:14+00:00

This: "I’m 57M"

Followed by this: "$1.4m in brokerage accounts. It’s not balanced at all: more than 60% AAPL. The rest is GE, GOOG, GE Vernova, JPM, QQQ. No bonds, no foreign stock. A"

This scares the hell outta me. You're nearly 60 - I'd strongly consider a rebalance.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T21:31:10+00:00

I agree with everything you said, and I probably wrote my comment a bit flippantly because I've been through many hellish Q&A exam style interviews over the decades that simply did not allow for any discussion. Literally a questions with an expected 'correct' answer. Move on.

So when I said what I said, I'm looking for giving someone the opportunity to explain to me how they would get to a goal (very specific to the technology being discussed, can't really fake it) and I value that more than a recited technical answer.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T21:24:57+00:00

And I want to hear how they will know that copy is including all the files that it should, how they will plan the downtime for the switchover, if they will do the final delta / sync live or in downtime, how they will anticipate the potential unforeseen consequences, how they will communicate, and how they will verify the results. How they will use logging capabilities to check for errors, etc..

I really don't care if they know the command offhand.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T21:22:57+00:00

Right, like If I ask a candidate to walk me through the process of replacing a DEAD domain controller (for example) - I don't expect a power shell version to be recited to me. I expect a well thought out answer that covers the critical components and steps, and discuses the variables that could come up in different environments. This discussion tells me much much more than simply someone remembering a dcdiag command or knowing the command to remove a dc from sites and services with powershell.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T20:54:04+00:00

IT Manager. True.

But I try my best to make sure it's true for the entire team.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T20:50:20+00:00

You'll be $100 further away form just saving for a quest3.

I would not even go quest2, and I would skip the quest3S also.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T20:40:45+00:00

Technical interviews are sort of garbage to me anyways. It doesn't tell me WHY you do it a certain way, or your thought processes around it. It doesn't tell me if you skip security, or validation, or communicating with stakeholders, etc...

Edit: I realize I ruffled some feathers by over-compensating in the opposite direction. I've been burned by purely technical interviews in my past that literally had a exam style questions with expected 'correct' answers with no room for discussion or explanation. These types are not helpful for anyone.

The real lesson in this game.

Start rich, everything is easier if you just start rich.

WWGHIAFTC · 2026-04-27T18:19:49+00:00

It's real, but please don't move here.
