This is a large pv system for what I assume is a single family home. Do you have resistive in floor heating or an electric boiler feeding radiators? I imagine you could easily run a half dozen mini-splits drawing 500-1000w each, or a centralized heat pump. Happy to help if you can give more details.

In my experience, as a normal non-unicorn employee at a large corp, I was able to have my contract modified. It required advice from an employment law lawyer that cost a few hundred dollars and a couple emails with the company’s general counsel.

You can change these contracts. Hiring people is difficult and once the company has made that decision they don’t want to lose you over a contract clause.

The continue.dev plugin for Visual Studio Code provides documentation indexing. You provide a base URL and a tag. The plugin then scrapes the documentation and builds a RAG index. This allows you to use the documentation as context within chat. For example, you could ask @godotengine what is a sprite?

I was in the same boat as a Leviton HomeKit switch early adopter. Between poor firmware and a critical Ubiquity UniFi AP multicast bug, it was frustrating. Eventually both were updated and the switches have been solid since.

iOS limits what you can do in the background with Bluetooth. At least one of the iPhones needs to have your mesh app running in the foreground to communicate with another iPhone that has your app. Two locked phones with your mesh app will not be able to communicate over Bluetooth.

Are you using 2.4 or 5ghz? 2.4 will blast through walls, to an extent, where 5ghz will struggle. I’ve seen situations where the 2.4 band is completely saturated by neighbors and the solution was that every other room needs its own 5ghz puddle to achieve top speeds.

This kind of setup is easily achievable with UniFI POE gear, but will hit the 5 device limit of this router. The original USG didn’t have this limit.

No, stocks are not tanking, but there has been a correction in consumer staples. For example, Vanguard Consumer Staples (VDC) is down over 10% from its high. Investors generally buy into consumer staples as a defensive move in the business cycle. But risk free money markets are paying over 5%...

Yes, for our mobile app we implemented feature flags to avoid the problem of having large branches that could not be merged until they were ready for production.

We used a simple approach without any extra tools: the feature flags were constants that controlled whether certain code blocks were active in dev, test, or prod environments.

This enabled us to merge and test work in progress branches regularly before they shipped in the production app. It also made code reviews more frequent and easier.
