We have been using http://twist.com for several months and it sounds very close to what you described. You create a thread with a title and a message and replies are threaded.
The bolt has over the air update capabilities, but iirc, it was used only once in the past 4 years.
And the bolt has an option to limit charge to X%. I set mine to about 80%, and it's plenty for my needs. So you can leave your car plugged in all day long
That's an awful reason to block a PR. I've been doing code review for the past 6+ years and I'm on the other side, I often ask for better, and longer code comments, for the reason you highlighted, 5 years later (or even months later) that long comment will save us hours
You're in the minority of people I've worked with in the last few years who make those sorts of decisions.
When I can, I try to keep some parallel /docs files with some relatively up to date tech notes close to the code. Jira/confluence/etc might also have info, but the docs that are connected in the same repo have a different level of usefulness for some things.
the password length was part of the issue, but one where I need help with is them saying: "Widely accepted by cryptographers as a more secure solution than AES/Rijndael"
The part I'm more concerned about is that they turn off encryption completely for free accounts, which implies the existence of some kind of remotely-controllable "encryption killswitch"
We have two kids (in NC, US)), both were c-sections, we had insurance on the first one, but because she was born in Feb, we had to pay the deductible twice, because even though it was the same pregnancy, it was "over two billing years". And even with insurance we still ended up paying the rest of the bill over 3 or 4 years.
Second kid was with no insurance, I think we'll finish paying that one when he turns 10 years old.
I don't know about other areas in the US, but around here you can at least setup a payment plan with the hospital and they are 0% interest rate.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of insurance companies, but they seem pretty up front with the fact that deductibles are based on date of service rendered.
They are, but it's still dumb. It puts extra demand on the medical system in December as people try to squeeze in their elective procedures in a year where they already paid their deductible, and it incentivizes you to not get care early in the year in the hopes that "it just goes away" and then sometimes it gets a lot worse and costs a lot more than if you had just gone in the first place.
Deductibles should be a rolling 12 month bill. If you have something major in December you should be good until next December. This would eliminate all of the issues with deductibles rolling over on Jan 1. It would even bring extra profit to the insurance companies because people might decide to stick with their provider another year since "I already made my deductible until November".
I narrowly avoided that issue when my kid was born late in the year. But yeah, you end up paying almost double for the same thing because of the deductible and out of pocket max resets in the new year.
That said, I was able to take advantage of it by making sure my surgery was scheduled before end of year. Ended up paying something like $200, rather than $1500 if it had happened in January.
I think the prev. comment is accurate in the sense that Mastodon can easily be vulnerable to social engineering attacks, because as long as humans run it, humans are going to make mistakes.
To be super clear, any (chat/microblogging/etc) software is going to be vulnerable to social eng attacks.
Like many others, we were also forced to use it at work, hard to pick the worse part of Teams but a big one is how slow it is from the time I click the "reply" link until I can actually type a message. So many times I click, start typing and then I notice it missed about 4 to 5 letters, and I don't even consider myself fast at typing.
Oh, and how you upload a file/image, need to wait until it is fully uploaded but after that you still need to click the "Send" button to actually post the file.
It's definitely an enterprise kind of app, one that makes sure you take forever to do anything.
There's also a very noticeable lag on mute/unmute, that causes others in a conversation to miss the first word or two that I say immediately after unmuting. The workaround is to wait a second or two before speaking, but I've used VoIP and video back in the MSN Messenger days, on a far less powerful machine, and it didn't have that problem.
I always forget this. And then if you send the same file to someone else it overwrites the file but the first file and the first person can no longer access it? And then you realize it’s not just a file but a share point link? Yeah that will surely work next year when you need to Go back and double check something.
How about when you [alt/cmd]-tab to it, it shows you a blinking cursor in an input field, but no matter what key you hit, you can't type in that field without clicking on it?
You can definitely have the best of both worlds. People will tell you (or me here) that it's rare, etc, and maybe it is, but all you need is one.
Keeping balance is not something you do once and then you are done, it is similar to, you are not a recovered alcoholic, you are a recovering alcoholic, because any day you can fall back.
You don't have to say, I can either have a happy personal life or make money, you can do both.
Like others have said, check with an accountant, I have worked remotely for the past 11 years in NC, for companies in GA, CT and NY, but because I'm 100% remote, I only have to pay NC taxes. None of them ever had an office in NC
