I’ve been using a Wacom Intuos S combined with Microsoft Whiteboard. The Intuos wasn’t outrageously expensive and has been working really well for my needs (mostly just process and class diagrams during online architecture discussions).

That’s a fair question. I do think some people may buy and take the test if they’ve been in an area where the potential for exposure is high and they worry they are an asymptomatic or presymptomatic carrier.

I’d say it’s a relief if you test positive and then 14 days pass and you experience no or mild symptoms. But I know for me, personally, I’d be a nervous wreck during that period waiting for the symptoms to come (but I also have an underlyin

> conflating stateless and ephemeral in this case You're totally right, I was mixing up stateless and ephemeral. My mistake and thanks for pointing it out!

In that scenario I would backup locally to the NAS and do a backup straight from the laptops to a cloud provider (Backblaze, iDrive, etc). That way if a corrupt file gets accidentally backed up to the NAS it won’t necessarily propagate thro

This is great news! Yes, these containers are supposed to be stateless, but I was tasked with converting an app at my previous job over to using ECS on Fargate and we hit so many issues because of the limits on storage per container instanc

We could also just take some time to relax and focus on self-care because the current situation is really stressful for most people. I don't think everyone benefits from the added pressure of being expected to produce some great work w

I mean more in the scenario that you’re about to turn a corner and someone is standing there. Maybe if you got an alert you would wait and let them pass or take a different route.

I don’t think it’s as ridiculous as it sounds. Eyes and ears don’t work around corners in grocery stores, and not everyone has an intuitive sense of what 6 feet of space looks like. Even people who are virus free and/or asymptotic shou

I will admit, I was one of the people railing against "hoarders" based on some of the imagery I was seeing (and in-person examples - like one person loading their cart with dozens of bottles of ketchup). I'm also happy to adm

Thank you for outlining that! I missed the impact on Indexed DB in my original read of the issue. It makes more sense, now.

Honest question - If you're creating an app like that, is a PWA really the right way to go? Aren't there other options available (such as creating a native app with a SQLite database)?

Ah, I missed that in the original documentation and most of the discussion I've seen has been around localStorage. Thank you!

by finaliteration 7y ago
I’m a little confused by this and maybe I’m missing something. Wasn’t localStorage always intended to be treated as a volatile storage mechanism for non-critical data and caching? The advice I’ve seen for several years says to avoid storing

I’ve been using Whiteboard with a Wacom Intuos tablet and it’s been working really well so far. In some ways it’s even better than a normal whiteboard because I don’t have to remember to take a picture and share it with the group when we’re

How many people are in your house? My family of 3 goes though about 1 roll per person in a week, and we aren’t super conservative about it, so a 12-18 pack should last us a month. Personally, I think it’s the people buying 4 24 roll packs (

We’re still buying fresh produce because there’s plenty of it and we don’t have a ton of space to store frozen/canned food. I’ve been washing produce with soap and water for 20 seconds and then rinsing it before eating it. We also roas

At work we use Teams as our primary communication tool. It’s been able to handle the increase in calls, video chatting, etc, pretty well so far, and we’ve even added some channels so people can share a bit about their personal lives and int

Honest question because I’ve seen a few comments stating this without totally clarifying: What does “lock everything down” mean? Are you suggesting people be locked up in their homes for weeks or a month? Or just shutting down non-essential

There’s a lot of discussion about flattening the curve to lessen the impact on healthcare providers and hospitals. Wouldn’t the same sort of thinking apply for grocery stores and food supplies? It seems like people need to stop stockpiling

I really believe that working remotely or from home is a skill that needs to be developed over time in most cases. There may be some people who are just naturally better at it, but the first time I had a remote job we went from five days in
