Has it continued to outperform Wealthfront during the past couple of weeks, where the markets have been trending more downward? Curious if SoFi has a higher-risk 'high-risk' setting than Wealthfront, in which case you might expect them to take more of a hit when the markets go down.

Similiar here - we had some older Zigbee / Z-Wave switches that were constantly breaking. Switched everything to Lutron, rock solid since then. The Pico remotes are incredible - we have some mounted in switchplates in places where we wanted 3-way switches, but didn't want to tear apart our walls running wires. Zero issues.

Airbnb S-1 6 years ago

Had the same experience staying at a AirBnB in Vancouver. In that case it was a unit where (unbeknownst to me) the condo board had banned AirBnB, so we were instructed after booking to say we were 'visiting friends'.

Wanted to share a fun tool I just finished up as a means to learn some React! In my day job I'm a web developer, and decided to build a little tool for generating optimized cut lists from a list of parts! It's a PWA, integrates with the beforeinstall events on chrome and the Share API on mobile. It was a fun project in seeing how far PWA's have come! Would love any feedback

GraphQL actually makes a fantastic frontend for a microservices architecture. We have several GRPC services that drive a suite of applications, we wrap those in a graphql schema and we've now made consuming those services much easier while maintaining the original underlying services.

You can get 'As-Builts' made, we did this recently in preparation for some remodel work - often people looking to break into home design will look to do them. I would check with home designers in your area and see if they have anyone they recommend.

Also check with your city - blueprints are on file going quite far back in many places.

Outdoor Preschools 7 years ago

There is a lot of gear involved... our son wears long underwear, wool socks, proper rain jacket / pants...and we're in a relatively mild climate. I think that's one of the benefits though - it teaches kids that crap weather doesn't mean you can't go outside and play, you just need to be prepared.

As far as naps - our kiddo doesn't take a nap anymore, so it isn't an issue. Younger classes typically get out earlier, so you could do a nap then. I'm not sure there are any all day outdoor preschools....

My son goes to one of these. We moved him out of another (indoor) preschool. He loves it - the kids seem to get along better, he's been more well behaved, and it seems to foster his creativity. That said, he's also older now! But we've had a great experience.

It's comparable to a highlander / pilot, which appears to be the main competition here.

I've found it depends on the bootcamp. There are a select few that do a good job and produce solid junior developers, but the VAST majority are trash and produce developers similar to what you describe.

100% agree. I would argue Big 0, or [insert abstract CS concept here] is drastically overrated in importance. We're much more interested in someones propensity to learn new skills and curiosity than we are in how closely they align with a traditional CS grad. To be honest, some of the best developers we've hired have had no formal schooling whatsoever.

At least up here in the PNW, grid-tied solar systems are actually required to shut down in the event of power grid failures (sending power back into "dead" lines is a good way to get people killed), so while I definitely would like to see what you're talking about, I'm not sure a selling point of it is resiliency for power outages.

We're using them for a client, and pretty much every client I've worked with lately is using them. I think they'll be just fine, it's still a good product.

We were on Fogbugz for many years, but eventually left to Jira because the Agile workflow is absolutely horrid.

Micromanagers can screw anything up - you can invent some pretty insane workflows using the FogBugz workflow tool, if you want to :)

Matthias is fantastic at engineering things and then building them out of wood, but I consider it very different than true woodworking. To me, the level of craft of someone like Sam Maloof is on an entirely different level.
