Ran my resume through two of the free scoring sites and got 42 and 61 on essentially the same document, with contradictory advice about bullet length. In the same period that document produced four screens from about…
Small clinic adjacent business, not storing health records but the client is nervous about data leaving the country and I'd rather not argue the point. I need a VPS or managed plan with a Canadian location, roughly 2…
Courgettes and cucumbers go white and dusty by mid July every single year, and someone on the allotment told me flatly that it is because I water in the dark. I leave the house at half six in the morning so mornings are…
Two months into the first thing I've had actually online. I ssh into a $5 box, , , and it works. Every tutorial past this point is CI pipelines, blue green, staging environments, terraform. Is what I'm doing an…
The standard claim is that weeds steal nutrients and water from your vegetables and that a weedy bed produces less. That is repeated everywhere as though it were settled. Meanwhile I keep reading approaches that…
I accept that exercise is good for you and I would like to understand the mechanism, because on the face of it, it seems to work against how things usually behave. A pair of shoes worn every day wears out; the same pair…
About 40 km a week in one pair, and my log says they're at roughly 620 km. The outsole rubber honestly looks fine and the upper is intact, but the last three weeks my calves and knees feel beaten up after easy runs that…
Every guide about cold email says the same setup: buy secondary domains, three mailboxes each, warm them for two or three weeks, rotate. That's real money and real setup time before a single email goes out. I want to…
Mid level data analyst, US, sixty applications out, three recruiter screens, no onsites yet. I know the honest answer is it depends, but I need a rough distribution so I can decide when to widen the search, when to…
Take the curve y = a x², and a point on it at some positive x, so that the arc from the origin to that point has some length L. Now change the coefficient to a different value. I want the point on the new parabola such…
I learned linear regression twice. In the statistics course it came with a list of conditions to check: residuals roughly normal, constant variance, independence, no strong collinearity and a warning that the model is…
I want to start riding for cardio. I am 200 cm tall and I fluctuate somewhere around 200 to 220 kg depending on what I am training for. I do strongman work so the weight is not going anywhere quickly and I am not…
I have read a fair stack of the popular improvement books, enjoyed most of them, and can point to precisely nothing in my week that is different because of one. I am not looking for the best book, I am looking for one…
Mutation updates a row, then . The promise resolves, devtools shows the query going stale, a refetch fires, and the response in the network panel contains the new value. The table still renders the old number until I…
US men's 11 in 4E, and the wide part is the forefoot specifically, my heel is normal. I've tried the standard width versions of two mainstream trainers and both gave me a numb third toe by 8 km. Budget is about $170.…
Last 30 days. The analytics number and my server logs disagree by a wide margin, and the analytics referrer breakdown says 40% direct which I do not believe either. I am trying to work out where to spend the next month…
Monitor sits on the nightstand and logs to my phone. Daytime is low and flat, then it starts rising around 11pm, peaks in the small hours and drops away within twenty minutes of the door opening in the morning. No…
I have six bottles between 30 and 60ml left over from a phase of buying every scent that sounded nice, all from a candle supplier. I want to turn them into small reed diffusers as gifts rather than binning them. I also…
Got my first bonus card four months ago and the second one looks appealing, but every guide I read gives a different waiting period and half of them contradict each other. I have no plans to borrow money for anything,…
My list is sixty small manufacturers, family owned, most with a website last touched around 2019. There is no team page, no about us with names, sometimes just an info@ address and a phone number. I cannot justify a…
I have been learning piano for a few months. There is a simple piece I can play comfortably except for one transition a single bar into the next: where I stumble every time. The frustrating part is that I can play the…
Two or three a month, and once the pain starts it typically holds for somewhere between 28 and 36 hours before it fades. When I mention it at work people clearly picture a bad headache that a nap fixes, and I've started…
I am an engineer and biology is my weak subject, so apologies if this is naive. The usual answer to why two eyes is depth perception. That explains why not one, but it does not explain why not four or six more…
Electricians consistently say that you must complete the conduit run first and then pull the conductors through, never assemble the conduit around wires already laid in place. I understand that pulling is the normal…
The security promise of an end to end encrypted messenger is that nobody between the two devices can read the conversation. That seems sound. What I cannot resolve is what happens when the device at one end is not…
