I also recently found a use for my rpi 3b as well. I bought a $30 USB SDR Receiver [0] and started collecting ADS-B [1] data and uploading to ADS-B Exchange [2]. I have been collecting flight data for aircraft flying overhead for a few week

I worked at a healthcare company at my last job and dealt with the X12 EDI. We had several ETL processes just to convert X12 834s (benefits/membership enrollment) into a common file format because every client seemed to do something di

There are many places that have desktop application development teams but the application(s) are internal only so it doesn't exist to the outside world. I have done desktop development with .NET at a couple companies and have been cont

I can't speak for the places that you contacted, but I know where I work there was a large amount of work for a staff that hadn't ramped up to meet the demand. There were people who coordinated closings that were working 80+ hours

I imagine that Rocket increased their workforce by more than 8% between spring of 2020 and now. I work for a mortgage company and layoffs have happened multiple times this year. With rates so low for almost two years the volume increased si

I have been using Clojure professionally for the last 2.5 years, after doing 9 years of C#, and really enjoy it. I recently got a Windows laptop and was interested in ClojureCLR. It has a ways to go in terms of coming close to tooling of JV

Also, never use the same username or email address for more than one site. If you reuse names/email addresses then when a site is hacked and there is a db dump of user data it is only a matter of time before the dots can be connected

I'm hoping to get a new job that would require me to learn Scala, so that would be on my list. Other than that I want to learn Haskell and Plutus (Haskell based smart contract language for Cardano).

I hope they don't become standard and they go away soon. The two main reasons are that not everybody has a smartphone or the ability to scan the QR code and security. My mom still has a flip phone and does not want to get a smartphone

I disagree with this. I use Clojure and Clojurescript at my day job and know very little JS and virtually nothing from ES6 and beyond. The only time, that I can think of, that I actually needed to directly reference Javascript was when I wa

Back when I was doing C# development I would use the Visual Studio debugger all the time and was pretty happy with it. When I moved to doing Clojure and ClojureScript I decided to learn emacs and stopped using a debugger until I learned abo

Yea, I have use GitHub search in a pinch and sometimes it is helpful enough to show me exactly where to look. Unfortunately, though, there are several events we emit that are many layers of string concatenation, so GitHub search may narrow

Where I currently work we are all in on event-driven architecture. For our DLQs, we have alerts on when the queue is growing in size or if messages are in the queue too long. When those alerts come in, we manually move the messages back to

It isn't really a hack but the best thing I've done is use org mode for organizing work. I make a file for each sprint and each ticket in that sprint gets its own file which is hyperlinked in the sprint file. I can open the sprint

My advice isn't based on your current situation (since there isn't much we can do about that now) but just how I got to the point where I feel ok saying no. Last year I worked on a project and because of my mistakes it looked like

I wholeheartedly agree. There are so many different ways to set up a project in Clojure that it can be a little overwhelming. There is boot, leiningen and deps.edn for managing dependencies as well as project structure. Then with ClojureScr

I'm definitely going to check this out. I was looking for a Lisp that compiles to PHP after using, and enjoying, Clojure at work. I was going to actually try and make one myself but then got distracted and moved on to something else.

The problem with Delphi is the cost. I've tried it briefly but that was during a trial period and I didn't even get to use it much. Embarcadero's pricing on even the entry level products to use Delphi was way more than I was
