ASP.Net Core is a phenomenal backend.
You know what’s funnier? I mean, it’s not funny, but it also kind of is. At the same time, the Trump administration is pushing coal burning power plants. Aside from the high levels of pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions that coal plants produce, no one in the US is building new coal fired power plants. Twenty years ago, coal generated over 50% of the electric power in the US. Now it’s less than 20%.
Even if they were, it takes years and a huge investment, including getting rail access to the plant, to even bring one online. Electric utilities spread their capital outlays over decades rather than years. So I would expect that convincing the industry to switch back to coal, with the understanding that they’ll have to maintain new coal fired plants for the next 40 years, is going to be a nonstarter.
All tarrifing solar panels will do is push power utilities toward natural gas and exacerbate the (actually legitimate) issue of insufficient base load generation capacity that they’ve been whining about for years. Oh, and also kill residential solar projects.
Long way of saying this action will continue to weaken our already strained energy infrastructure. You could try to incentivise domestically produced solar panels. But this is not how you would do that.
After a quick glance at the demo, I think the UI design is better than Paperless-ngx (at least on mobile). But, it only has tags. Not correspondents and document types. It also lacks the automatic matching feature, advanced search filters, custom fields, and customizable document views that Paperless has.
Does the new ISP require use of their router or just offer it as an option?
AT&T used to require using their router, which was a pile of hot garbage. I have a Mikrotik Router and managed to mostly cut the AT&T router out but I had to configure my router to use the AT&T router for authentication, at which point the Mikrotik would take over. It was complicated to configure but it worked.
That’s a tough one. There’s not a ton of great options for personal accounting apps, much less self hosted ones. I used Pocket Smith (subscription based) for years which actually does what your looking for. Decent product overall. I switched from them to Quicken mostly because I’m an anal retentive personal accounting nerd and the fact that they couldn’t produce a conventional income statement or balance sheet was a long running frustration of mine.
If I had to choose another platform again, I would go with spreadsheets since it can be as simple or complex as you want to make it. I know that’s not really what youre looking for. Wish I had a better suggestion.
I’ve been groped by women on two separate occasions. Granted, I’m a reasonably well built dude and I didn’t feel threatened. But those experiences were not wanted or asked for. Thankfully they were quickly resolved with a terse “Don’t do that again.”
I completely understand that women are often on the lower end of the power dynamic and have a harder time either saying “No” or providing their own enforcement so there’s theoretically a good chance that M -> F assaults are more prevalent. But the idea that women never engage in this kind of behavior is complete and utter horseshit.
People don’t harass or assault someone because of their [the assaulters] gender. They do it because they lack respect for others.
One time I worked on a team that had a ridiculously high defect rate. Stuff was constantly getting kicked back from QA. Management kept piling on all kinds of convoluted processes to try to reduce the number of defects which only made things worse.
I started really hammering the need for doing a root cause analysis as part of bug/defect tickets. Don’t just fix the bug. Make sure you understand what caused it and link the bug ticket to the ticket that caused it.
Big surprise (not really), 90% of the bugs and defects were being caused by like 3 people.
Your comment made me think of some of the PM’s whining about adding one story point for doing an RCA because apparently it’s better to just ignore the problem and keep pumping out shitty broken code as fast as possible.
Pretty short sighted, which is also on brand, for the Kremlin. I’m sure that by now they’ve discovered that whatever incriminating info they had on Trump is essentially worthless, since none of his supporters care about any of the horrible things he’s done. And, he’s found himself in the position of being able to steal, cheat, and grift right out in the open with zero consequences, thereby lessening his dependence on laundering money for the Russians.
They wanted an agent of chaos and they got one. Unfortunately for them, this particular agent is very difficult if not impossible to control.
Congrats! That’s exciting. We seriously looked at building a few years ago. Went through the whole process up to the point of hiring a contractor. When we finally got bids, which was like pulling teeth, we quickly decided it was not in the cards. Ended up buying a similarly sized fixer upper for half the price of a new build. Thankfully we made back the money we spent with a little extra when we sold the land.
Being able to have exactly the home you want is great.
