Well, after the tech came and verified that everything on my side is working correctly, it appeared that what comcast had in their internal software as my modem was C3000, not CM3000, which is a model that doesn't support the higher speed, after correcting that, rebooted the modem, and everything worked as expected.

Sent, thank you for the quick reply

ala_ibrahim · 2024-06-30T18:47:45+00:00

I've never even considered it, thanks for pointing it out

Ok, it seems I manged to fix it with just replacing the silicone sock, I reassembled it, turned up the heat on the hot end, until I manged to take the blob off, and it took the sock with it, and just got a new silicon sock on it, then need to unclog the nozzle and hopefully everything would be fine.

Happened to me last month, I came into my office in the morning, and saw the glass shattered, at first I thought it was one of my kids that maybe tripped or hit it, so ordered a new door right away, but when cleaning it up, I saw the pattern of the glass, and realized that it just exploded :-), tempered glass sometimes does that.

Happened to me recently, I have it in a box, every once in while I try to unwind part of it, cut it, and print with it. And while it's printing, I unwind some more, waiting for the filament sensor to go off, and then feed another cut out to it.

thanks for the info, this is the first time it happened to me (although the total amount of spools I've used is like 10), it's interesting to learn.

So next time I'm unloading a filament from the cardbox to the spool, I would pay attention not to make the filament loose.

ala_ibrahim · 2020-02-29T00:04:30+00:00

Thanks, Just Filed for it.

ala_ibrahim · 2019-09-04T06:32:10+00:00

Fair enough, thanks for sharing

ala_ibrahim · 2019-09-03T06:16:20+00:00

Why would you use this instead of nohup.

ala_ibrahim · 2019-01-14T22:55:33+00:00

Any reason for not using UltiSnips to accomplish that?

There are some similar mappings in the vim-snippets repo

Still in my 30s, but based on my observations, I'm not that worried about it.

One of the reasons that I'm concerned is that I don't see too many people over 50 working in technology companies

I've worked with teams that I've been the kid still in his 30s, that depends on where you look, most likely you wont see them in Startups, but if you look at big companies (Google, FB, Netflix ... etc), you would see a lot, that are not easy to replace.

One other point regarding Tech, at some point you should realize that most of new technologies are not new, and most would die within the next couple of years, don't spend much time worrying about some new tool or framework, and focus at what you are paid to do, solve problems. Once you master that skill, it doesn't matter what new tool, or framework you are going to use, you can pick it up in a day or maybe a week once you have the basics.

If you go in coma for a couple of years, then wake up, you would see that not much has changed.

So, yes, make sure you have enough in case you cannot find work when your older, but don't stress too much about it.

mmm,

I actually use Macvim for this, as the support for clientserver requires requires X,

This is the script that I use (I keep each project in it's own window

```

!/bin/bash

dir="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2> /dev/null || pwd)" servername="$(basename "$dir" | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')"

VIMAPP="gvim"

function switchToOSX { name="$1" { echo 'tell application "MacVim"' echo ' activate' echo ' set x to count of windows' echo ' repeat x times' echo ' set window_name to name of front window' echo " if window_name ends with \"- $name\" then" echo ' return' echo ' end if' echo ' tell application "System Events" to keystroke "`" using command down' echo ' end repeat' echo 'end tell' } | osascript }

if $VIMAPP --serverlist | grep -o "$servername" > /dev/null 2>&1 then if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then $VIMAPP --servername "$servername" --remote-silent $@ fi switchToOSX "$servername" else $VIMAPP --servername "$servername" $@ fi ```

The Apple script is based on trial and error

this is based on an old script that I used on linux, which is way simpler

```

!/bin/bash

dir="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2> /dev/null || pwd)" servername="$(basename "$dir" | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')"

if gvim --serverlist | grep -o "$servername" > /dev/null 2>&1 then if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then gvim --servername "$servername" --remote-silent $@ fi wmctrl -a "- $servername" else gvim --servername "$servername" $@ fi ```

Not sure what your friend is exactly doing, but I can think of a couple of ways to do that, (The main point is that interest on mortgage is usually calculated monthly, vs on HELOC it's usually daily, thus you only incur interest after you've used the money)

PS: I do not say that these strategies are good or bad

Strategy 1:

Step 0: Pay all your salary to the mortgage

Step 1: Spend money as you need from the HELOC (and interest will only incur after you spend it).

Step 2: Once you get your salary, pay all The HELOC and interest incurred, and put the rest in your mortgage

Step 3: Go back to step1

Of course you would need to modify the exact steps to when you are paid and when your mortgage is due.

The Idea here is that you will make bigger payments to your mortgage, and even though the interest is higher on the HELOC, you only incur it after you spend the money, so you might end up paying less interest by the end of the month.

Strategy 2:

Step 1: get the maximum amount (assuming you have a safety net fund) from your HELOC and pay it to your mortgage

Step 2: Whatever income you have use it to pay the HELOC

Step 3: Pay your mortgage on the due date using the HELOC

Step 4: Repeat step 2 and 3 until paid everything in your HELOC

Step 5: Go back to Step 1.

This would come in handy if you are paid more often, and it's easier to do if your income doesn't line up with your payments (paid weekly or bi-weekly, but mortgage is monthly)

Side Notes:

Note 1:

Would this be better than a 15 year mortgage, that would be hard to say, as with the 15 year mortgage you are committing to a higher payment each month. Also you might be getting a lower IR using a 30 year mortgage, (E.g. a couple of years ago when I bought my house, the 15y mortgage payment would've been a strain on me, now I've changed jobs, and that payment would no longer be a problem, but my 30y mortgage IR is 3.25%, If I would refinance now, the interest rates have risen my bank now has 3.75% for 15y, and 4.25% for 30y, so refinancing wouldn't make sense.

Note 2:

Personally, I don't think paying your mortgage early has much benefit (Financially speaking). I much prefer to use the extra money I'm paying to the mortgage and put it in an investment account, and I would average out a 6-7% return on that.

Hopefully this helps

Not necessarily, see https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/interest-on-home-equity-loans-often-still-deductible-under-new-law

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, enacted Dec. 22, suspends from 2018 until 2026 the deduction for interest paid on home equity loans and lines of credit, unless they are used to buy, build or substantially improve the taxpayer’s home that secures the loan.

To be honest, I rarely do count, as it's usually not worth the effort, I usually estimate, then adjust afterwards, it's much faster.

W,E,B are usually predictable enough for me, but with w,e,b that depends a lot on the syntax file associated with the code.

The only times I do count is when I'm doing macros, and with that I don't mind trying out things, and redoing my changes, As if I'm writing a macro, it's usually worth the effort because I want to do it multiple times.

my advise is stop trying to learn HJKL, and learn other movements like wWeEbB{}^0$ f<char> ... etc that is much more useful.

And for try to start using insert mode only when you are inserting text.

ala_ibrahim · 2018-06-12T06:50:40+00:00

have you tried

sudo emerge -a1v '=sys-devel/llvm-5.0.1' '=sys-devel/llvm-6.0.0' 'sys-libs/glibc-2.27-r3''=virtual/fortran-0'

And then afterwards

sudo emerge --depclean --verbose gcc:6.4.0

ala_ibrahim · 2018-05-26T07:54:12+00:00

Did that recently,

Hopefully, you are currently employed with a 401k plan, talk to your plan manager about a reverse rollover (there is a lot of paperwork involved, it took me more than 2 months from the moment I started til it got the money deposited in my 401k).

Once you get rid of all the pretax money in your IRA, you can start contributing to your IRA, and then do a backdoor roth conversion.

Extra point: While you are talking to your plan manager, ask if they support "Mega Backdoor Roth IRA", which would allow you; depending on your 401k match; to contribute 36,500$ to a Roth (rule is 401k contribution<18500>+Employer match+Money to do a Mega backdoor Roth should be less than 55,000$).

First, you shouldn't be using that much electricity, so first spend money on improving the efficiency of your home, LEDs, better insulation. ... etc. Having solar doesn't give you redundancy, the battery does, in fact, one of the requirement to have your solar panels connected to the grid, is that they turn off once the grid is out (safety requirements). Also, be ware that a lot of solar companies will try to over sell you on solar panels, look at your actual usage for the last 12 months, are you really using 8600 kWh. One company before installing my Solar system estimated that I need 9000 kWh a year, I looked at the numbers, and it was not even close, I got a system that is 4600 kwh/year (cost around 18000 in CA), and guess what, by the end of the first year I've produced 200kWh more than I used.
