I've just started down a path for us and been pretty happy with Loggly so far. Just by adding a UUID to the requests as they're initially received I'm able to follow the chain of events across 5 different services, a message

Depending on the freezer, putting a hole somewhere and sealing it up really well is just as good as the walls and insulation that were in there before. I did this to a chest freezer that wasn't terribly expensive and I haven't eve

Actually, having someone sit at their desk while I continued to shoot closer and closer to their face was probably the most fun of the entire project. I tried some basic calculations, but as you could guess with a nerf dart, building HVAC,

This is a tip EVERYONE should know and I still do this! I use a half filled bottle of water, a small rock, and mark safe/not safe so anyone who's not me knows which way it should be. Pretty sure it was my great-grandpa who taught

I keep approximately 5 minutes of temp readings (used a TMP36 sensor) at 1 minute intervals using an RTC (Real Time Clock) to more accurately time it. I made a small 'power tester' circuit that basically acts like a normally open

Yeah, I've not really had a problem with off-label Arduino chips/boards whenever I've ordered them either, except for one being DOA and another having an I/O pin that just wasn't connected somewhere along the way in

That's pretty much what mine was, but isn't mine (and probably better?)

I always mean to write up my projects but never do. The gist is really, through trial and error I was able to map developer's desks to coordinates and elevation angles to get to their seat and just made a flat file that had their usern

I'm linking to the SparkFun ESP8266 breakout [0] because I found this to be so much easier to get my bearings with than the raw chips/breakouts I'd gotten from Alibaba. Granted, I got my hands on them very early and they were

Because they're much friendlier to get started for the novice, most of the widespread examples seem extremely trivial to someone with experience. Now- I'm DEFINITELY not an expert, probably barely mediocre with the EE fundamentals

I had a very large project with Delta a number of years ago (6, maybe?) that required our team to work directly with IBM Global Services. To this day I still refer to them as Global Disservices based on the level of performance Delta were g

That's not necessarily why employers do it, I'm sure some do though. It costs a lot in terms of productivity, time, and dollars to bring someone new into the company. As an employer I don't know if you've completely misr

I've been through their process twice at different points early in my career and received offers both times- the reason I didn't join both times was that I was interviewing for a specific position on a specific team and because of

I think yes and no. For example, for public web application development the barrier is already low enough that you can put your entire company at risk pretty easily. I think there is little reverence for what it actually means to craft a pr

In the business world the barrier to entry is often imposed (and for many good and bad reasons) by the IT/OPs/Security teams. Going to the PHP example, you could pick one of a number of deploy and hosting providers and have your c

I stumbled on to the Java API a day or two after the launch and that was actually the first time I'd downloaded and run the Pokemon Go app. It was funny that writing code against the Niantic API was actually WAY more interesting than t

That's true, but even though there are plenty of tangles in the WP codebase it's not hard to do some pretty advanced customizations via plugins/themes.

I spend 90% of my time in 'real' languages like Java, C#, and Python building 'real' web apps/services and I still go to Wordpress if I need basic CMS functionality. It's incredibly easy to build a theme or plu

by manyxcxi 10y ago
I recommend to people that Wordpress would be a good fit for to have it hosted on Wordpress.com. You get the ease and familiarity of Wordpress with less pwnage. It's free, but $6/mo gets you the use of your own domain and no ads.

I've used Postman on and off but I just find the UI more burdensome than it's worth and use one of the more simple rest clients and curl for when I'm really trying to string together some complicated requests. Paw looks gorge

It doesn't have to if you write your own dialect for Thymeleaf. You can alter the flow of the output manipulation and validation- it's out of the box that it chokes on the 'weird' stuff being shoved into attribute tags n

I've been using Thymeleaf with Spring for a while and almost always exclusively use it with Spring Boot because it's pretty much right out of the box ready to go. I stumbled on it a long time ago because I had the problem of Java

The thing is that for many companies no estimates isn't possible. You have to be able to tell a client roughly how much they are going to get charged or how long it will take on order for them to even be able to with the options. Sayin

I think you're on to something with the process of becoming better at development. Building the hard/arcane/boring things and understanding them leads to a much larger mental tool set. The solution for problem A could apply t

I think another thing people get wrong is before even using it they assume they've got to dive into a ton of custom workflows. I've had some fairly large teams able to use JIRA without a single workflow customization (especially w

I'm one of those silly- I truly prefer Coca Cola vs. Pepsi and just won't drink a soda if it's only Pepsi they have. I do it for two reasons: I don't really like any Pepsi products, Sierra Mist is ok, I guess. I shouldn&

At my uni our Software Engineering I (CS301 or maybe it was II[CS302]) class was entirely based on requirements gathering and estimation. It was a real eye opener for me- I'd been writing code in many languages since I was 10, but this

I would agree with that 100% In some other HN comments over the years I've suggested that a very good path for young people is to start with the big companies. You will likely be set up with more support, free time, and lower stress so
