Having more current running through a wire means thicker wires. Higher voltage means less current to achieve the same power, so thinner wires for the same power. The tradeoff for higher voltage is it's more dangerous (higher chance of arcing etc).

Agreed. Lately I'm coming across self-hosted services that not only require docker, they essentially require a docker-compose file full of many other dependencies.

The other thing that blows my mind is how many of these self-hosted applications require mysql/postgres instead of just using sqlite.

I'm guessing they don't because the application requires 8 services to run...

I really love the idea of this project but I feel like it is grossly over engineered.

This is the same reason I don't even bother with anything more than basic ipv6 internet access on my home network. I've made some attempts with using ULA but I could never get it to work right, even after multiple attempts.

I wish there was something in the ipv6 standard that allowed referencing an ipv6 without the prefix on your local subnet (ie: :::10a1:da35:2f4d:3cfc). So you could do all your internal networking with the consistent suffix and just deal with the changing prefix the same way we do with a dynamic ipv4 addresses, dynamic DNS. I'm certain there's a reason something like this couldn't be possible but it just seems like something along these lines is missing.

I think they're talking about the "match (true)".

My neighbor was out from Monday until Friday evening. I think it was actually up to _6_ days...

I've had my ts3 for a couple years now. I just noticed a pretty bad coil whine on mine lately. I'm not sure if it's always been there and my environment's changed or the device just suddenly started making the noise.

Yes! I swear I remember banning some of those spam domains in 2010 or so. IIRC, I thought it was part of Google search.

This is identical to how I feel. My advice to people who want to get in a routine of exercising is to minimize the barrier to entry. For me it was running. I leave my house and can immediately start the thing I don't want to do without having all this overhead to start doing the thing I don't want to do (going to the gym etc).

The IoTaWatt does measure voltage. You plug in a calibrated AC wall wort as well as the DC USB power supply.

I have a pessimistic view of all this. If you are able to get into a college program easily, the job market will be shit once you get out. If the job market would be great, you'll never get into a program.

Colleges have stupid games based on a point system to get in. The games are HEAVILY biased towards people just out of high school. You only get points for shit like having taken classes at the school before or your parents being alumni. Having real world working experience doesn't give you any points.

My wife was thinking about going to nursing school. In order for her to do that she would need to quit her job take random classes for the _chance_ to eventually get into a program. We're ready to pay cash for the program which she would certainly succeed in, but there is just no chance. Was a real bummer once we realized this.

I guess this all makes sense, just frustrating.

Yea. I actually talked to the guy building the space. Gave me a vague answer but it seemed like he was basically saying square footage was expensive.

I may have a skewed view on things because I work in a techy college town.

I've actually had some friends who got offices but their job was miserable (defense contractor). I may have just had bad luck but from my experience, finding a good place to work without a completely open office environment is tough.

I agree with you on employers needing to create workspaces conducive to introverts and extraverts.

I've seen one attempt at this and I think it was basically an extraverts attempt at making introverts happy. It was basically "we made these 3 'private' office things that you can use when you need to". This doesn't help me at all. Can I use these 90% of the time I'm at work? If not, what's the point?

I think the unfortunate thing that makes this virtually impossible in this day and age are two things:

1. It seems to be vastly more expensive for introvert-friendly spaces where square footage is expensive. Stacking people on top of each other is more economical. 2. Introvert-friendly workspaces are generally seen as "uncool" and unable to attract young and cheap talent.

Sucks being an introvert in tech right now. I'm either working in a noisy space, forced to wear headphones and listen to music all day long or working from home where there are other distractions. I just want to see a workspace that has SOME kind of attempt at catering to introverts. Have yet to see one though...
