How the fees seem to work: Design fee: $949 - One off your Eagle files: $150 - One off Per board fee - priced per component including installation It seems like you are paying someone to manually design the board and link any components to

ORMs should not be sold as "Now you don't need to learn SQL". Like any abstraction, it pays to know about the layer below even if you're being saved from directly using it. In the case of SQL and ORMs, this is particular

"During lockdown 700 volunteers from across the country collaborated to produce a first draft of the Slow Ways. This incredible effort has led to the creation of 7,500 routes that collectively stretch for over 110,000km." The map

The project page: https://slowways.uk/ As they say, there are many paths in the UK but it can take a lot of research to find long routes that don't leave you on a busy road with no pavement. I hope this project is a su

I once used it to plot the entire globe and didn't get much else done that day!

the drawing software is actually pretty simple and draws "plots", with each stroke being a single plot and the pen lifting after. What that means is you cannot scan a signature and reproduce it, because the machine won't know

I worked somewhere where documents were printed, then signed by one of these https://axidraw.com/ using the client's signature (with their permission) to be posted to a pension provider who required wet signatures.

This looks like exactly what I need. Even supports forwarding ssh agent. Thanks!

It may well be common knowledge now. I discovered it when writing our Dockerfiles earlier this year and before that hadn't seen it. It looks like multi-stage builds were added to the best practices in 2018 [ https://github.co

Something really useful I recently discovered is multi-stage Dockerfiles. Using FROM and then COPY --from to copy from a previous stage to prevent unwanted intermediate build steps that might expose secrets or just bloat your images. Tw

Are remote development environments common? There’s a CI server doing the heavy lifting but I still run tests constantly on a docker box while developing locally.

My tests already take twice as long to run when I’m on a Google hangout. For my case, I’d honestly rather use more bandwidth and do minimal local processing. If my machine is slowed down any more then I might have to stop working completely

I’d guess they wrote a script to merge the csv file and export in xls. Xls might have been the default of the library they used in a rush. I think this may be the case with some python libraries that generate excel files as xlsx is a more c

I worked there for a while. They used PHP and had a sort of framework called Alice and Bob which I think was built in Symphony. It was designed specifically to allow quickly rolling out to many different countries each having possibly diffe

That's sort of the point I'm making. Reducing consumption comes before reusing and recycling. "If you participate in Apple's trade-in programs, consumption isn't an issue." If that's how you feel, then App

by dkarp 6y ago
Step 1 of reducing your environmental impact is reducing your consumption. If Apple really cared about the environment, then they wouldn't encourage a new phone every year when a phone can last for 4 years. Reduce, reuse and recycle.

That's a nice way of seeing it and there's definitely good information being shared in these comments, which may help many people. Maybe these transparent content marketing articles ignite my skepticism

Tech interviewing articles seem to do well on HN. I'm guessing because it's something most of us can relate to and that's what made me click on it. But I feel like I've read this same content in different articles, that

He uses the Echonet Lite protocol[1] and says that it is a home automation protocol used in Japan. So that whole second part is Japan specific. I agree that the rest probably isn't. 1. https://echonet.jp/hems_en/

Epic is still the under dog here. They’re nothing compared to Apple. Even if this is all in Epic’s selfish best interest, that doesn’t matter if their interest is more aligned with smaller app developers’ interests. The balance of power is

“and before you realize it, you’ve got a load of freshly overhauled attack helicopters getting snuck out of Marseille in the middle of the night going to Chad.” Maybe not but if it's not illegal, why would they need to be snuck out?

We wouldn’t get to see the total eclipse—that dramatic upheaval of the afternoon’s forward march, an ebb when there should be flow. I thought this would be about animal behaviour during a solar eclipse, as that's the title. It is act

5 years seems like such a small penalty. He was an international arms dealer and from the sounds of it selling weapons to countries that it was illegal to sell weapons to. Who knows what those weapons were used for.

I don't quite understand this. Aren't the availability zones denoted by a letter? My Aurora instances are in eu-west-2a/eu-west-2b/eu-west-2c, so what is euw2-az2?
