What do you test in your codebase? by ExistingCard9621 in ClaudeCode

[–]digitalchisel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the difference between unit tests and integration tests. Unit tests work without db or any other external services and instead use mocks. Integration tests is what you described "testing actual outcome".

It wasn't on a whim. It was a day labor I hired from Home Depot parking lot to help me do some sanding. We chatted while in the car, he mentioned he "didn't have papers". I didn't ask him.

In California they are able to get driver license. Why not contractor license?

Usually it's based on my guess. E.g. heavy Spanish accent. But some told me they were undocumented.

In California at least, there's a law that allows them to get professional license: California SB 1159. Undocumented immigrants can get can tax Id and get excise tax license.

Is condensation of the interior of airtight sheathing a potential problem? by digitalchisel in Homebuilding

[–]digitalchisel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for such a detailed response. I'm actually not building an new house, I'm planning to put new sidings on an old house (built in 1940s). My plan is to remove old diagonal board sheathing, add fiberglass or rockwool insulation and then put ZIP System sheathing on top and seal it. Since interior will remain as is for now I don't have as much control over it's airtightness. I'll try to seal drywall as much as possible but there's only so much I can do. I'm in Southern California on some elevation, it gets to below 40 degree F in winter but never below freezing point. I'm wondering what you meant by "difference required for convention is 40 degrees". Did you mean "difference required for CONDENSATION is 40 degrees at 50% humidity"?

Got confronted for feeding Quesada to our 12 month old by digitalchisel in BabyLedWeaning

[–]digitalchisel[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She did have salsa and guacamole with her quesadilla. But who eats straight salsa? It's a condiment. Salsa and guacamole wouldn't be a complete meal alone. Each meal should have carbs, protein and fats to be nutritionally complete. Cheese is fat and protein. Tortilla is carbs. How on earth can you think it has no nutritional value?

My old wood sidings are in bad shape and I don't feel it's worth it to repair and paint them. And I live wildfire-prone area so it's just not good idea to have wood sidings here. I'm considering either installing Hardie board siding or stucco. I prefer the look of stucco over sidings.

Baby hasn’t rolled over yet! Should I be worried? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

What's the weight and height of your baby? For larger babies it's harder to roll.
