I'm not much of an Anaconda fan, but installing Spyder as a user package (pip install -U spyder) has always worked out well for me. After an upgrade, all I've ever needed to do was to upgrade to the spyder-kernels in my venv. Spyd

I'd even say that payroll software could be a lot more interesting than many other fields. If done right, it shouldn't just be a boring tool that adds some numbers - it should educate its user about the current legislation (e.g. a

Angular is opinionated and comes with batteries included. Not counting the AnguarJS mess, Angular has been extremely stable. With a small and dynamic team that loves functional programming and reactive state management, React is great. But

Some non-invasive solutions for CGM devices are quite good already. I'd expect that the technology will be included in many higher-end health tracking devices within this decade.

I'm also wondering about that. Abbott isn't known for making the raw CGM data easily available. Neither is Oura. It might be possible via Google fit/ Apple health or via nightscout for the CGM devices, but the latter would im

I definitely second these comments. The app that I maintain at work started with Angular 5. We're now on Angular 11, but upgrades have never been an issue! I also like how Angular can be quite easy to get started with when simply using

Maybe not HN enough, but my Photos are stored on my laptop. Together with all other data, they are regularly backuped to an external HDD. Works very well since I've owned my first computer.
