It's actually an interesting problem to solve. You would think that a particular item weighs the same no matter which store you scan it in, but in reality item weight can vary. Sometimes it is due to the manufacturer changing the pack

I worked on that project (Shopping Buddy) and a few later iterations of it. This was before the iPad, we had these huge IBM super rugged tablets on the carriages. We used something like Zigbee to triangulate the precise location of the ca

Congrats to the team. Very excited to see what comes from a team with that much talent.

It shouldn't really matter what the accuracy of the software is being used properly. The facial recognition software should be used as a tool to help narrow down potential suspects. It shouldn't be the judge jury and executioner t

Mikey Dickerson, the head of USDS, spoke at Velocity Conf in NYC this Sept and he was hinting that the organization was done for after this administration comes to a close. It will be a shame if this is true, as his group is a shining exam

Yes, although loopback mode for devicemapper is the out of the box configuration for Docker even though Docker themselves doesn't recommend it for production. I had tons of issues w/devicemapper on CentOS 7 (kernel panics causing

Since the tablets are operating wirelessly it becomes very hard to test since the conditions before the game aren't the same as what occurs during the game. All the fans with their smartphones aren't there yet polluting the airwa

Reminds me of a story I heard during a project management class many years ago. The PM was working on a govt contract for the US Army in the late 90s to build a mobile mapping system for use in the field on the Humvees. He got all the spe

I'm sure the US Govt would love to give him a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to use. But seriously, if you were him, how confident would you be that the phone wasn't tampered with, no matter who you received it from? How could Assange tru

Found this similar project a couple days ago: https://github.com/tazjin/kubernetes-letsencrypt Doesn't seem quite as configurable but looks a bit simpler to implement.

Sounds like a great way to get pickpocketed. Lots of disoriented travellers staring up at the ceiling. Then again, maybe it's no different from everyone staring at their phones ignoring the world around them.

After I subscribed to iTunes Match, it "helpfully" reworked all of my ~4300 song iTunes library so that most of the songs where I ripped a whole CD into iTunes were now spread across various "Greatest Hits" albums from t

Yes, the live tail portion. With Kibana you'd have to refresh the page to see new logs come in. This is more like Papertrail. Looks like they pretty much copied the UI of papertrailapp.com as well from the screenshot, although it do

This story reminds me of the Therac-25 (although no deaths were attributed to this bug). The book "Fatal Defect" should be required reading for any software engineer. https://www.amazon.com/Fatal-Defect-Chasing-Kil

Very true. Because these skills are in high demand, my experience has been that employee turnover in the mainframe sector offshore is extremely high. We had a tremendous problem retaining offshore mainframers through the big BPO companies

For #3 that is an issue for remote debugging with things like XDebug for PHP. I have been using this command: sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 10.254.254.254 And setting the remote host to 10.254.254.254 instead of localhost inside the container to

This is genius. How long before instead of dialing into conference calls, we just send our bots and have bot to bot con-calls? Could this be the killer Twilio app?

And Terraform had support for the AWS NAT Gateway a long time before AWS' own CloudFormation did. I think there was a PR for TF a day or so after AWS added it to the API. Very impressed with Terraform.

Yes, MCX probably took advantage of the retailers' deep hatred of the swipe fees they pay to the banks. We had a similar concern about MCX's competitor ISIS (name later changed to Softcard for obvious reasons) because our finance

I'm in awe that some sales person was able to sell Walmart, Target, BestBuy, CVS and all these other stingy retailers on a payment system like CurrentC/MCX. Any B2B enterprise focused startup would be wise to find and poach these

You would need to somehow convince the population that looks are no longer important, or that somehow looking like you were a member of the band Kiss is now a popular look. It's not impossible, fashion changes all the time.

After reading this article I was inspired to read Showstopper again. Last time I read it was early 2000s. I must have lent it out so I had to order a new copy. Looks like they reissued it a few years back...
