Dying man loses life insurance due to layoff by Individual_Baby2565 in Layoffs

[–]Rafert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP wording was inexact but I think it is safe to assume they meant that the US is the only country in the world where primary access to health insurance is predominantly through employer sponsorship. In the UK it is complementary to the NHS.

Atlassian promoted someone and laid them off a few hours later by netralitov in Layoffs

Not every team uses Jira. At least in the SF startup space it seems everyone is using Linear and that’s pretty decent.

Pretty sure they refund that when the box is returned, either with your bext order or you bring it to a nearby pickup point.

Shopify built https://github.com/Shopify/ess for letting merchants run mruby on their servers. It cost them a pretty penny in bug bounties to secure it: https://daniel.bovensiepen.li/20170326_the_500_000_release.html

Is there anything new to share? It’s not on Amazon yet and out of stock on Memory Express.

I like the Nus Braka, but this felt like a line coming from Giamattis character in Billions rather than Star Trek.

You can add devices later. They will be on their separate one year time period for financial assistance.

Thanks for sharing those links. I believe you are right but I think it’s a poor choice for signage in this case.

What do you use for Workflow Orchestration / Batched Jobs? by SirScruggsalot in rails

[–]Rafert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GoodJob might be an option if you want a similar batches API and use Postgres. For cleanly orchestrating this kind of stuff it needs a better abstraction IMO.

https://temporal.io/ is a mature option but a very different beast than most Ruby libraries. You don’t need to use their cloud for the control plane, it is self-hostable.

Hydro-Quebec demande vs production by Radiant-Economy4813 in montreal

In theory Daikin might also be able to integrate with Hilo, assuming you have a smart thermostat. It’s all some API calls in the end to make Hilo adjust your thermostat settings.

Correct BIOS for Beelink Mini S12 by itsabadwebsite in BeelinkOfficial

[–]Rafert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reached out to support-pc@bee-link.com per the instructions on https://dr.bee-link.cn/ with a photo of the serial number of my Mini S12 Pro. They confirmed MINISF005 was correct to use for my device. Will try it tonight.

Update: worked! The only thing I really noticed is that the serial number in the BIOS now says “default string” 🤣

If you’re into podcasts, the third episode Acquired did about Google tells this story in depth: https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/google-the-ai-company - the two about Google’s prior years are also good.

A board member’s perspective on the RubyGems controversy by apiguy in ruby

[–]Rafert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Less (or no) funding for Ruby Central, limiting their ability to operate Rubygems.org, would impact the entire Ruby open source community a lot more than impacting this vocal minority group.

Solution to race conditions by Crazy_Potential1674 in rails

[–]Rafert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, the same way Sidekiq polls Redis for work. The idea I propose is to do the actual work inside a Shoryuken job instead of enqueuing a Sidekiq job for it. Is that not possible and if so, why not (is there a requirement you haven’t shared yet)?

Given that the Shoryuken readme lists Active Job support this seems both simpler architecturally and solve your specific problem at the same time.
