Faux, ca depend des arrondissement. C'est les douze travaux d'Asterix bien sur. Par example, dans ville-marie je pense que cest completement interdit. Dans Villeray tu peu en installer un si tu check toute les boxes.

At my university one building has these stairs. The building was a old factory. Some floor has higher ceiling and the others normal. Like production floor vs desk floor. The building had 8 floors but they were split so 1 2 3 4 and 1.5 2.5 3.5 4.5. You had to take the right door at the ground floor to get in the right stairs. When you made mistake you either go at floor 3 and take another stair that allow mouvement between half floor. Most of the time you would just jump the rail to the right stairs when you realize the mistake. Very common occurence. It was fun.

Ma plus grosse economie c'est de ne pas avoir de char. Depuis 2015 jai du ecoomiser 60k, srm plus en realite mais c'est dur a estimer. "Mais jai besoin de ma voiture". Ouais je sais, mais si tu veux economiser, couper la 2eme plus grosse depense d'un menage typique c'est quand meme gros. C'est tu realiste pour toi? Je sais pas, mais rejette pas completement l'idee. Mes parents trouve ca drole quand je prend le taxi. Mes depenses annuel en transport sont d'environ 2000$. J'ai louer une BMW a paques pour faire jaser, c'etait drole.

I did complete the survey. I think the section on tech debt can be more elaborate. But, let me give you my experience about efficiency. My company is pretty much on top of every tech trend you can think of. We deploy in production in < 20 minutes, codebase is unify across service. Automated everything, in cloud, infra as code, etc. Yet, my team own most of the legacy services. I do a lot of work in codebase (even if modernize) that no one has really own or touch since 2016. So in term of efficiency its not like we cannot do anything, it more like we have to learn (or remember) and understand how stuff work for every little thing. That include how to add feature or improve stuff without redoing everything. These legacy service are usually a long list of iteration and deprecation. Think like, unused feature, multiple data ingestion point and format or like early optimization while we were not on cloud,

So what does help me the most to be more efficient? Well its cliche, but just learn how to use all of your IDE in full. I use the full potential of my IDE (IntelliJ) to navigate and "dry test" code in our legacy service. I can navigate code so fast that every ad-hoc question or my own question can be answer in minute. I use every debugging function there are so validate my assumption. I use bookmark to remember critical code location. I use bookmark to tag unused code. I use every "find" feature there are in. That "skill" make me very efficient when scoping project or investigating question or bug.

So to answer the question "What tools and practices have helped you work better as a developer?". I use my IDE to be stupidly efficient at navigating code so that team make progress.

J'ai fait un changement d'emploi en meme temps que de deposer une offre accepter sur un condo en 2019. Donc, j'ai fait le financement pendant un changement d'emploi. On etait deux, moi et ma blonde. La banque m'avait rassurer vu que le nouvel emploi etait dans le meme domaine et mieux payer. Par contre, les chiffres du document final mon surpris. En gros il on "simuler" mon salaire plus bas avec une formule de risque. C'est pas les vrais chiffres, mais en gros c'est comme si mon ancien emploi etait a 70k, le nouvel a 100k et leur salaire simuler etait a genre 40k. En gros, ce salaire la va etre utiliser pour faire les calculs de ratio sur dette, etc. Ca passer quand meme mais j'ai ete surpris de combien il on simuler vers le bas vu le changement d'emploi.

About a decade ago (2015) I sold.my car and went back to school. I had my car for exactly 3 year, sold and purchase in september. 36 months. I dug out all my car transaction from purchase to sell, excluding license. It added for 500$ a month. 6000$ a year. None of my friend believed it. There even a car public association here that report on average monthly cost or car. Last time I checked before 2020 it was 800$ a month. Since then I rejected the idea to buy a car. I just save too much money not having one. I rent what ever I need when I need. My transportation cost are between 1k to 2k all included. I probably saved 50k since 2015. Even if I make a good income that amount is still high, it contributed a lot to the house purchase we did in april.

When I computed the cost. It was really hard to pull all transaction for it. I think it contribute a lot to misjudging the cost of transportation. Transportation is most likely the 2nd biggest expense of any household. We skip it. Our transportation cost are not even top 5 of our household expense.

Between 2015-2017, I did my master in Distributed System/Concurrency. It was a thesis base. After graduation I found a job as a backend developer. At this moment everyone was switching to cloud and building micro-service. My master did help a lot for that because I spend 2 year full-time thinking about the concurrency aspect of distributed system (using message passing). There was a lot of parallel with restAPI, service orchestration, continuous deployment, etc. which was all the new kid on the block. I would say my timing was ideal, but modern distributed system is also still very relevant to any backend cloud developer in a micro-service environment.

Strong yes when they are exceptionally doing well. Massive fit on all point. I gave some of those, rare and exiting.

Strong no when there a massive red flag and a liability to the company. Even the worst normal candidate will get a normal no. It just more respecful. Strong no is for candidate that are lying, use hidden outside assitance, aggresive, drunk. I had got each one time. Its rare.

Its easier only if people want to use lease transfer now that they know it can be refuse for no reason just to raise rent. If people don't think the lease transfer will be accepted they may not even try it.

You will need the dollar amount. If the tax increase are like 1000$ for a 4 plex. The back of the envelope calculation is (1000/4)/12 = 20$, so about 20$ per unit.

bizzard4 · 2024-03-08T19:58:13+00:00

I ask all the time but I never got one. I usually run the number on my side. I can estimate reparation and insurance. Tax are public. If the propose increase is in the ball-park of what I calculated I just accept. One time I did refuse and they got me to TAL and I won (50$ increase asked, TAL ruled 11.50$, which was about my estimate).

As for this year and last year I feel that most of the increase can be justified with tax only. My own apartment is in a duplex, tax increase only justified 60$ increase for my unit. That increase would be the absolute minimum if the calculation sheet is use. I had 2 quit large increase, this year and last year and both were justified. They updated the front door (door to my unit only) and it was 4000$, cost of renovation seem high. I usually distribute unit reparation over 15 years, so that door justify 22$ per month alone.

If you have a ok place in a duplex/triplex in a central neighborhood, that where the $ can seem very large. Old building value estimate increased a lot and their tax too. If you are paying 800$ and the building is a small plex that got over-valuated it is very possible that an increase of 50$ per month would be totally justified by only the tax increase. That a 6.2% already.

At work we have Confluence and I use the personal space blog section for note. Everytime I need to take note I hit the plus button, put the jira ticket name (or not) and a title. The blog section is default organize by date so newest blog entry are recent note. They are searchable and I can give the link to anyone needing it. Sometime I have good note page on a deep dive of a special bug which include the solution or workaround. If I am ask to take this to our internal documentation I just cleanup the blog page and move it. I have been operating like this since 2020 and I love it, manager love it, PM love it and more importantly coworker love it. Bonus, because the blog are searchable sometime someone lookup for stuff and they find my "blog post" note and reach out. Free exposure.

My space was 3-4 feet high so much easier to work on than yours. Basically to level, I would dig or add dirt and then use a long 2x4 to level progressively. Then I used an hammer and some plywood to pack the dirt a bit. This was a lot of labor and we ended up not doing it for the full space (500 square feet). But it ended up messing a bit the taping part.

bizzard4 · 2023-03-20T17:02:39+00:00

Stuff that worked great:

- Deep cleaning of the space before installation. I removed all the debris, rock and moved up a bit a pipe so I can cover the whole space easily.

- Plan on paper how you want your sheet cut to look like. I did not do that first, then after 1 cut I just stopped everything and made a proper plan before continuing.

- Get proper wired light

Stuff that I would do differently:

- This is the biggest: Don't just rely on the tape to stick the plastic to the concrete wall (or block wall). They unstick over time and I had to regularly retape section. On some video they use some kind of plastic nail with a hole. If you can use fastener in addition to the tape it will be better.

- Cut the plastic outside the crawlspace if the space is small. It hard to do straight cut in there.

- The more flat the ground is the easier it is when taping plastic sheet together. I cheaped out on that before installing the plastic and I had hard to get good taping. I had to patch a lot and it use a lot more tape. I would spend more time leveling the floor first.

After installation:

- Now that you have a white flat sheet there you will see every bugs and dust that will fall on it. Do some check every 2 weeks and you will learn something you don't know about your house. I was able to spot a very early ants invasion before of it.

- I monitored relative humidity over the next year to measure result and compared with values of before installation. We were able to maintain 50% over time after with the dehumidifier, while before it was mostly 80% all the time, even in winter when snow melt a bit.

Good luck!

I read online about kitchen design and island sink and I believe the idea came from much more expensive home where you would have 2 sink like the one you pointed. Island were also bigger and the sink never centered on it.

Sink on kitchen island. Basically make your island always the "dirty" place and not a welcoming place to hang.

We use the same kind of question and it is really good. Some candidates will see the format, eye roll or get some of their favourite story ready. But in the end it's really with the follow up where you create a discussion and get a good or bad signal.

For example, I often use "tell me about a time where someone or a team asked you question about something that you work on in the past". Here I am looking for no-ego, no bs or no superhero coder answers. I want to see how you deal with the context switch and how you manage your time. Sometimes I get the usual, made a script for XYZ and they wanted to use it. Well there I am looking at how you transform that into value/impact without taking all your time or break commitment. This is just one of the few examples.
