I'm curious, are there any smart AC / heat pump units for residential in the USA? AC died Saturday, leak in the heat pump coil. 3k USD part and out of warranty, and it's a rather cheap builders grade unit so just going to replace it all. Looking at a Trane but I'm curious - are there any smart heat pumps?

Not talking a Nest thermostat or Ecobee. We keep the house at 70F all the time (in Florida) so don't care for the constant heat / cool during random hours of the day.

Thinking along the lines of those Smart breaker panels I've seen that can notify you of high usage and etc...

UI Lead here - managing a few projects at any given time, mentoring junior developers, working with the backend team on endpoints, etc... most of you know the drill.

Pulled master branch, no build errors, Angular isn't complaining but I know the problem is in the UI side, probably with graphQL (angular apollo). I cannot get a single VSCode extension to work to help debug it so a junior is going through and commenting out code they changed to try to find it.

There is no way this project is done on time and the entire software department is looking at it. I'm 1 of 3 leads on it.

Quite literally just gave myself a panic attack thinking about it and the looming deadline.

This isn't the first time; I've been dealing with this for months now. It went away for a bit (2-3 months) and now it's back. I've been drinking all kinds of clamming teas, supplements, trying to change my diet, walk more, etc...

I just can't stop them :( 99% of the time it's chest pain or back pain or etc... every once in a while it escalates into a panic attack.

I keep trying to tell myself f' it - it doesn't matter. Fire me if you want to; we're doing the best we can. But it's not sinking in...

I.do.not.know.what.to.do.anymore. Vacation? FMLA? Career change? wtf would I do if not web development (been doing it 20+ years)

help.

I don't see a lot of 3d models posted here, but I thought I'd share as it's related to IT / programming.

Model description explains it, but basically, inspired by air track control boards (excuse me if i'm wrong here) where they manage flights and their details. Wanted a board I could glance at and see project specifics we're working on.

Board holds 5 slats. Design the paper inserts for the slats how ever you'd like; jira #, trello #, whatever. Print the slats in whatever color works for you - red = critical, yellow is falling behind, white is going well, etc...

Got a 3d printer last week - Anycubic Mega X. I'm in love with it. From coffee cup holders to lamp shades to cable grips for my desk poor thing has been working basically 24 / 7 since I got it lol

1 - found thingiverse.com - amazing resource! Anything else like it?

2 - If you own one, how many do you own? Thinking about getting a 2nd one and using 1 for longer prints (15+ hours) and 1 for shorter prints (2 hours ish)

3 - Do any of you sell printed items on etsy? elsewhere? Need to make money from this investment! :) Ideally I don't want to print things from thingiverse.com and sell them (that sounds like steeling to me) but my own designs, why not?

4 - where else to go from here? Any benefit to printers with dual extruders? Any low cost of entry aluminum printers?

5 - any "hacker news" sites for 3d printing?

I appreciate the daily press briefings now.

I appreciate J&J being honest with 72% effectiveness and it doesn't require a deep freeze and is only 1 shot.

I don't like the... obscurity of the information?

If / when (i'm 40, male, living in the USA) I can get the vaccine: -- Can I choose which vaccine I get? -- If I got the J&J how do I know if I got lucky and i'm protected vs the 28% that it's not effective in?

We're not making foot cremes or a new weight loss drug or etc... This is a pandemic that is costing the world trillions in dollars. The biggest question I have is - why are we not taking the best drug (sounds like Moderna?) making them share the recipe and Astra and J&J just producing that drug and helping distro it? Not saying the formula should be open source of free (the rest should pay for it 1 way or another) but we should go with the best drug, not 3 choices as it stands?
