I work in the telematics/trucking software space. Many many many trucks travel less than 2-300 miles a day (Intermodal, dray, etc). Not every truck driver is crushing miles every day, many operations are just between different modes of

This looks pretty nice on a brief skim. Would love if it was packaged as an ebook rather than a bunch of medium posts.

yeah all the different settings can be a little overwhelming. I'm constantly in awe I'm able to take photos of stuff that basically ten years ago+ you needed a damn helicopter for.

Shameless plug continues: https://engineered.at Startup/Tech/Engineering blog aggregator with an HN-style interface. I'm working on a few features this week: 1) Feeds index so you can browse them 2) User Profiles

Well, you're correct for sure. Considering they're all discretionary "toys" for most of us (unless you're a pro, in which case you'll probably be spending a lot more for an Inspire or something), an extra $500

I just upgraded from the P3S to the Mavic actually. While a good starter drone, the P3S is inferior to the other models in quite a few ways, so I'd recommend anyone interested in a drone to just save up a few more bucks and buy the Mav

The fees are percentage based, so the investment interval doesn't matter. $5/day gets you a $0.15 fee, $35 a week is $1.05. It all nets out to the same dent made.

Very cool design!

Thank you!

Both great suggestions! I think the weighting will be dependent on getting more engagement on the site overall, which is a tricky thing early on, but working on it!

How are you handling the tagging on this? By hand, 3rd party service, algorithm?

As former heavy RSS users, what do you think of a site like this one I put together? https://engineered.at It sort of "hides" the RSS feeds behind a social news interface, using a ranking algo like reddit/HN.

I built this site: https://engineered.at It's like HN, but powered by hundreds of startup tech/engineering blog feeds. It pulls in some really good stuff! Not a lot of users yet, just barely getting it going so far, le

I have a lot more to do on this but figured hey let's share it since it's online. This is a feed aggregator of about 500+ blogs that are pulled in automatically and fed through an HN/Reddit style interface. Was a fun little t

I can't remember how I did it specifically, but I believe there's a way to wire up a second battery to your alternator where it only charges it, and your vehicle will never draw from it. Could be a way to keep it topped off while

Spin up a 2gb+ DigitalOcean server and toss Dokku on it. Feels like Heroku, very reliable, very simple to understand by just reading the Dokku source. AWS is a great great thing, but has opaque pricing and a lot of nuance to getting everyth

Her goal is only 125, probably mostly because of the mental goal, but also because she's convinced she has fat to lose. I think she looks great already but who is she to listen to what her husband thinks? :)

That's on the list. Her and I are currently training for a half marathon that's happening in a few months so definitely getting my exercise in. Next goal is some body weight stuff at home, been a while.

My wife and I have been doing Keto since May 1st. I'm down 17lbs now (started at 221, right around 204-205 now, goal is 195). She started at 135 (she's 5'8" so not much for her to lose) and is down around 129 now. Weight

I'm not saying don't use JavaScript, I'm saying don't abuse it and then try to dig yourself out of that hole with server rendering. Use the tools you have to the fullest extent that do the job perfectly well before reach

Also a good point. Polling is also a very straightforward and reliable system, and can be very efficiently with both caching and returning empty responses when nothing has changed, etc
