I'm in your same situation and I think it really depends on your use case. Are you creating an API that's read-only and only for you or a small internal team? You could pretty easily write that in just about any framework (or even

That's not even the full Win32/16 style. That first line should be: static LRESULT WINAPI MCIWndProc16(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) And even then MS couldn't decide whether to use message (MSG

The F-series outsells any other single car by at least double. 65192 units in November vs 30945 Camrys [1]. And trucks/SUVs/minivans/crossovers (all "light-duty trucks") as a whole outsell cars by about a 50% margin

For some reason Xcode updates are shown in Launchpad (both the dock icon and if you can manage to find the app in Launchpad itself) and then sync'd back to the App Store after some delay. The delay seems to be completely random. I thin

You can mark ingredients for search in the crafting menu (press 'T' on the pc version I think) and any item that has those ingredients will have a spyglass next to the item name when you look at the item. I have gears, springs, ad

Have you seen the AHP AlphaTIG 200X? It's a 200A AC/DC tig/stick welder with nearly all the features of the PowerTig for $700. The only real difference I can see is that it only goes to 200Hz on pulse vs 500Hz for the PowerTi

There really isn't a good way to rate turbines to hp. I did find this article [1] that says a 747 uses some 87000 hp in cruise across all 4 engines. That's approx 20000 hp per. It also says that's only 1/4 of the rated t

I think you are off by 3 orders of magnitude unless you are planning on putting 1000 motors on each wing. I said 15000 kW. That's 15 MW. 300v @ 50A is only 15000 W or roughly 20 HP (actually a bit less when you consider the power facto

I think the issue would be weight. You'd need an alternator capable of absorbing some 20000+ HP (~15000 kW). And then the electric motors and associated fans and housings and mount points. And then the cabling to handle distributing th

Yeah, that's crazy. I don't have time for that. I played 2 games of Dota last night. One 35 min (ranked) and one 43 min game (unranked). It took less than 5 minutes to find each game. I had one game fail to start due to fail to tw

In Dota 2 if you AFK for more than 5 minutes (no xp) you get an abandon and the game is safe to leave for all players. In ranked your MMR (roughly your Elo) gets updated win or lose if the game goes past first blood. The abandoner gets a lo

Try turning on button shapes. It's been a major help for me. It may not be as clean as the stock setup but it's far more usable for me. Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Button Shapes.

It happens with cookies as well. It's especially bad on the developer sandbox. If you ever have trouble using the sandbox it's either because your cookie is too big or it's broken for the 11th time this week.

That's a great idea. I never would have considered that. Do you create a full rails project to handle migrations or what? How do you integrate that in with your other code?

by jcoby 11y ago
It's been my experience that simpler is better. At least when it comes to teams up to around 12-15 people. After that politics will dictate how you migrate. Adopting three rules has pretty much made migrations a non issue: 1. migration

That's what the octane rating is for. Ethanol even has a higher octane rating than gasoline. All modern (~'96 or later) engines have anti-knock sensors and can adjust timing. 89 octane gasoline vs 89 octane E10 will perform the sa
