Weekly Discussion: 13 May 2024
  • Congrats! That has to be a great feeling. We're 16 years away and I've already started looking at it as "number of employers left". I should only have to work for 4-5 more companies.

  • We're talking about moving in ~4 years so we'll start saving up for a down payment on top of maxing out our IRAs. Right now, the plan is to convert our current house into a rental when it's time.

  • I'm in a similar phase right now. We plan on moving in 3-4 years and I'm leaning towards turning our current home into a rental. We bought it at $300k and it's now worth $650k. We are now putting money into a regular brokerage to save for the next down payment. I don't think we'll have enough saved in time so we're leaning towards lowering our tax advantage contributions until then.

  • I'll just sort it myself
  • The picture isn't completely correct. JavaScript sorts numbers just fine. But if those were strings, that's exactly how JavaScript would order those. It compares character by character instead of doing a lookahead which is much more resource intensive. If you want it to look ahead, you have to tell it how to, else it defaults to the order in the image.

  • Blocking instance: only communities or communities and comments
  • Wondering the same thing. I blocked some foreign instances to clean up my "all" feed but those users interact with English instances and I'd love to see their comments automatically. The option to block seeing posts from a community sounds ideal.

  • That's an odd choice of light fixture to attach to a ceiling fan
  • I can answer the pizza question sinceI have this style fridge. The ice maker components live at the top left of the freezer. It leaves a 4in (10cm) gap to the right of it for tall items like pizza. And yes, we have to limit our pizza purchases since we can't fit more than 2.

  • I should hit my fire number their senior year of highschool. If they receive scholarships, I will probably do "one more year" just in case. If they need help, I may move back my retirement date more. But it all depends on how hard they tried in highschool. If they are a C student, I would encourage them to join a community college or a technical school that matches their passions.

  • Best way to run a Linux VM(s) on intel MacOS?
  • Virtualbox all the way. That way, she can still run her day to day apps in macOS while only using virtualbox for the class. And here's the best part - once she reaches the point where she knows the setup she likes, she can create a new VM and set it up cleanly and delete the old one. I would only use the boot camp option if she will need to connect to hardware. VirtualBox can be finicky when it comes to USB devices.

  • While my kids live at home, regular fire due to living in HCOL. Once they are off to college, I'd love to move somewhere cheaper and live a lean fire life. In other words, I should hit my number once they leave home.

  • What is your favorite filament?
  • I switched to Atomic over 4 years ago and it's the only brand I buy now. I don't like wasting plastic and I know Atomic will print perfectly for me. If there's an issue, it was my printer's fault.
