Do folks have opinions on the best alarm/monitoring system? I’d originally bought a SimpliSafe system but they don’t work with secure or local WiFi networks so I’m returning it. Something comparable but with modern tech standards would be great.

What are the betting odds that Steph Curry reaches 5k career 3s before retirement?

Inherited two Nest learning thermostats - abysmal devices. Anyone know how to make them stop learning / if there’s an app where their schedule is actually manageable?

On Tesla’s current trajectory they will become a blip of a footnote in EV history within 8 years - but at what point does its stock fall?

Hottest Take: Anthropic knows they are cooked and believe that once the bubble pops data centers will revert to being more traditional infra. Bun is a play for their future cloud offering.
if Anthropic's going to blow billions of dollars and destroy the earth we may as well get a fast JS runtime out of it

I’m a warriors fan and this was still one of my favorite moments.

An all-time great defender, trying to jaw and get in the head and space of the young star … young star just cooly taking care of business and letting him know he can do whatever he wants…

They called a foul on the floor but Wemby slamming on Draymond on the inbounds is cinema and Wemby let Dray know after the slam

Still boggles my mind that outside of jsonapi there’s not a single serviceable spec of rest/rest-ish out there. People blame REST for a lot of problems that are really just lack-of-spec.

Are there any NYC frontend/js meetups? Going to be there for work in early December and wondering if maybe I could tack on a few (present and/or just attend)

Most of the folks “on welfare” in my life have been republicans and all of them don’t think that’s what “welfare” is and that there’s some other thing called welfare that just pays people shit tons of cash.

… and they don’t like it mostly cause they don’t get that cash too.
That’s the wild part for me to.

The people that need and use it the most, hate it the most based on nothing but propaganda.

It’s madness.
The Republican messaging behind SNAP has really done a number on people’s brain. Especially the demographic that gets it.

Semi?

For some, the idea of sweating among semi-naked strangers in a small wooden box as hot as 100 degrees Celsius (212 Fahrenheit) might sound more like a sadistic form of torture than rest and relaxation. But others just can’t get enough of the sauna.

In Finland, saunas have long been a way of life. But getting hot and sweaty is growing in popularity elsewhere.

Typescript Eslint has a default rule that prevents no bugs and has nothing to do with types but amounts to “we think you shouldn’t create async APIs so we’re going ban use of async and make you write out a bunch of extra promise code”
