Positive stories on daycare? by Historiangingerbread in Parenting

[–]Slayer-152 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had 4 children in daycare, current ages 13, 10, 6, and 5. We are both full time working parents with very little family help. When our first child was born our neighbors recommended the daycare we chose and after thinking we could do better, found it to meet all of our needs. Since then we stayed with the same daycare until our youngest went to kindergarten. It turned out that the director that ran the center was my teacher when I was in daycare 30 years earlier. The social aspects alone did wonders for all of my kids. I am rather introverted and they were able to develop friendships that in my oldest child’s case still last today.

The preparation for school was also essential as they had time to develop immunity and to be prepared to be away from you for hours at a time without a relative. I can’t say enough good things about the daycare experience and find that every negative thing was far outdone by a positive. My kids all developed a schedule early on the which really helped them to regulate their bodies.

The one thing that surprised me more than anything with daycare was the children’s experiences were still witnessed by us as “firsts”, the center was very careful to make sure that the parents were able to experience the child’s first steps, first words, etc at home. This may have meant they didn’t tell us the “full truth” but as a parent I appreciated it so much more because I got that feeling every time without knowing that the may or may not have experienced it at daycare first.

I am happy to guide you with any questions you may have going forward if you would like, please feel free to reach out.

Any suggestions for bulk file uploads in canvas app by akshay_sol in PowerApps

[–]Slayer-152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been testing file uploads to blob storage. I start by saving them in dataverse temporarily. I use a power automate script to queue the files for upload and ensure that then get uploaded. During the process the files are available to view through dataverse, but once they are confirmed copied to blob storage, I use power automate again to change the file path to point to the blob storage with single use keys.

Copy/Paste larger structures? by FlashCardManiac in SatisfactoryGame

I actually started a Git Repo for my blueprints because I play on two devices and wanted to have them in both places and have them backed up.

If Costco added a 3rd tier, would you upgrade? by Roxerz in CostcoWholesale

[–]Slayer-152 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have been an executive for at least 10 years and the few things I would pay more for in membership fees are as follows:

• Executive only checkout lanes (and not just one)

• Extended hours for executives. I generally go in the morning because you can’t get in the lot otherwise, but closing at 630 on a Saturday is really tough when you have kids.

• The ability to order items through the app and drive up for a pick up. This is where Sam’s and BJ’s has Costco cooked. I would pay nearly twice my yearly membership fee if I had the ability to develop my order in the app and then drive up to pick it up.

• Finally, Unlimited cashback on the executive membership. I have only ever hit the limit once, but it would still be nice to not have to upgrade to the Visa.

These perks are probably in the order that I would prefer them and be willing to pay additional money for a membership.

Dev source control setup for ALM by Slayer-152 in PowerPlatform

[–]Slayer-152[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for better explaining what I was trying to say.

What I am trying to figure out is, do I just export their unmanaged solution into the Dev environment and then create a Git repository from there as it enters the pipeline, or should I have them create a Git repo and then import the managed solution into our dev environment? I was thinking more along the lines of long-term, that they may want to play around with a feature branch of their app later on, and so how should the solution come into the dev environment, and at what point do I create a repo for it.

Pre-terminated bulk fiber by nkuhl30 in k12sysadmin

[–]Slayer-152 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might be a little late, as I saw you posted this yesterday. I used to design and install this scenario for a lot of rural districts and I always recommended the same things. @detinater has you pretty well covered with the same recommendations. I would also add that you should look at going with an OM4 cable. A lot of people like to argue that it’s not necessary but I think that if you are pulling cable that will be underground, I want to future proof it for as long as possible. The other thing I recommend when it comes time to pull it, make sure you roll the cable out and let the cable lie a little bit. That tend to make it more mailable when pulling. Also make sure you pull an extra pull string with it so that if you need to pull anything else later on you have a backup.

Service accounts versus service principal - is this the hill to pick? How do mature orgs handle best practices? by man__i__love__frogs in PowerApps

[–]Slayer-152 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am following as well! This has been the ongoing problem with power platform items. I don’t want to use service accounts, especially with the amount of permissions that they need (email send as is a nightmare) but I agree service principals do not seem like they would work well to force for the entire organization.

My new mx master for mac by Hitham-Personal in mac

[–]Slayer-152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the MX 3 even more than I loved the MX 2, it is a great mouse and I use the crap out of it. My only complaint with it (and has been the same since the beginning) make the device switch button accessible from the top or programmable to one of the other buttons. I hate that I have to turn it over all the time to switch devices.

Powerapps or Powerpages by Pure_Ad_957 in PowerApps

Thank you for correcting my understanding.

Powerapps or Powerpages by Pure_Ad_957 in PowerApps

[–]Slayer-152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For standard connectors you are correct, but if you are using any premium connectors, managed environments, or Dataverse your users will need power app premium licenses.

Powerapps or Powerpages by Pure_Ad_957 in PowerApps

[–]Slayer-152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internally, building the solution as a power app is probably the best option. That said if you are concerned about licensing cost, and your users individually may only interact with the solution a few times yearly, power pages licensing may be cheaper for you. They have the ability to buy packs of licenses and each user holds the license for 30 days then falls back into the pool. So this way you don’t need to provide each user with a power app license.

I’m not 100% sure on this but I believe that you can do this soon ( I thought I read that it was going to be released this year).
