What can you do in PyCharm that you cannot do in VS Code? I recently switched from PyCharm to VS Code to maintain a project with 250k LoC in Python (Django) and VS Code has been like a breath of fresh air. While you may need to install some plugins to get it "just right", it's more extensible. PyCharm is more "batteries included", and maybe that's the rub here.
I actively work with and set up ~100 domains in SendGrid, and Yahoo and AOL are still, have have been, THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE since I started working at this job 8 years ago. It's always been a black hole into any type of support. I always get the same answer back... "If you don't want to be seen as a spam bot, don't act like one".... OK, I'll just tell my client they can't send their 20k emails when they want (with a non insignificant going to Yahoo/AOL still). Honestly I don't know what else we can do better. We don't send newsletters and such, we only send transnational emails.
We are a small SaaS start-up with 4 engineers in total, I'm one of them. Being a senior person, I've to deal with all kinds of crap; SFP, DKIM, domain validation and what not.
Just when I relax content that things are in control I get a folder full of files which contain spaces in the file names that need to be processed.
I tried Mailgun about 5 years ago. I had a short term, low-volume need, but found that their free tier servers had poor reputations and I remember that Yahoo in particular would not deliver their email. Maybe that's to be expected: any free email sending service is going to be abused by spammers. But it wasn't a great first impression.
Mandrill has been reliable, but more expensive, when it comes to AOL Yahoo Hotmail and Outlook. (I work at an agency, we recently migrated off sendgrid to mandrill for all our clients due to deliverability issues)
Modern day water systems will only work for a while, until the water towers run out of backup systems. Still need electricity to pump water up for gravity to pressurize/distribute it.
Not always. Also, a lot of water towers have alternative power sources they can use. More and more, solar panel arrays do this. They work very well despite the lack of constant power output because the water tower itself buffers the need for service.
I agree, the handles on the Model S are a little too over engineered, but what prevented the first responder from breaking a window? How is this different than the doors just being locked? I own a Model 3, and the lever handles still wouldn't have opened when the car is locked.
I worry about this with the trend of using more laminated glass that is really difficult to break.
But this Model S is very unlikely to have had that, and it sounds like there was a policeman on the scene. Surely the officer would have access to something that he could have used to break the glass? I've read a few articles about this lawsuit and I have yet to see a clear answer as to why that wasn't the solution.
It makes me wonder if the "doors wouldn't open" part is just a spurious claim and the lawsuit is really about the post-crash fire.
According to the article it wasn't just random bystanders, it was a police officer.
"But Awan survived the crash, and he could have escaped the smoke and fire, too, Grossman said — if only the police officer who arrived on the scene could have opened the car’s doors."
Hey, one of my Scouts did this - rescued a family from a burning car. Because he had the wit to do it, while others stood on the sidelines. Probably because he'd been actually trained in taking quick action, in leading by example. He was 16.
So I can see that folks may be paralyzed by indecision, even by the intensity of their feelings. Ok, 'normal' people want to help but probably don't because of a lifetime of holding back.
I might, but I'd perhaps be more likely to risk my life saving someone from a Citroën 2CV or a VW Beetle. I'm only half joking. There is a real tendency to judge other people by what kind of car they're in and the decision whether to approach a burning car is likely to be made quickly rather than through careful application of logic.
If you regularly drive more than one kind of car you might notice that other road users treat you quite differently depending on which one you're driving.
I agree with the sentiment, but it's a crowded market that if there was an easy, elegant solution that met everyone's needs we'd already have some leaders out there. Maybe we already do. My person preference is Notion at the moment.
That's nice. I used to like taking notes on Notion. But one day, I got annoyed when I was not able to quickly search an old note as it was nested under some other note. Took a while for me to realize and make sense of that.
This is completely unacceptable. I work for a small company of 9, with 3 programmers (me being one). On vacation we all unplug to the fullest extent. It's all about setting expectations, having redundancy and backups. In fact, the boss hired me so that he could do exactly this, unplug and leave the country to have a solid vacation. I tend to either unplug all the way, or make it impossible to contact me by either being somewhere remote. I haven't come back to a burning fire yet.
For every position in the company, there needs to be someone who can fill in if the need arises. You already need that anyway in case someone has a serious accident or something, so you might as well make use of that when people go on vacation.
But especially for manage position this should not be necessary. Most small software companies will do just fine if run for a view weeks without a manager (as long as it doesn't overlap with the start/end of a project).
Also the problem is he is not asked to provide emergency contacts, he's asked to continue to check all his emails. Which for many people will mean they won't be able to get there had completely it of work and as such majorly degrade the vacation.
For a company of the size we are talking about, it would definitely by the former. Even at 20 people, it's not possible (financially) to have backups for every function and we have to tolerate downtime for people.
I agree, a real baking steel works very well for this. I have one I use as a griddle, and sometimes in the oven.
The Kettle Pizza came with a much thinner version of steel, that was still heavy as hell. The radiant effect of the kettle version wasn't that great. And mine rusted through in less than one season, and it lived inside my kettle.
