   I think Kyle recently said that he's been making analyses a bit more formal, so even when he writes analyses, there's less of what we're used to.

   One of the challenges I'm having now is with some library that connects to a steaming pubsub server. I found a problem with the library, my use-case differs from what's being tested, and because I'm struggling to use the libr

   It depends, my biggest struggle right now is with the tokio/futures ecosystem, so I'm on gitter::tokio quite a bit, and have posted once on /r/rust. With patience, I eventually solve many problems, but the lead-time is c

   I've enjoyed learning Rust, but I'm at the stage where I'm hitting constant stumbling blocks because of the slightly niche nature of what I'm doing. It's the ugly side of Rust; when you're stuck with a series o

   I think epic is a grouping of features, while milestone might relate to a release, which might include epics or even just parts of those epics.

   Docker started supporting local k8s as a swarm alternative, I think from last month's release.

    About 5/6 years ago, a team of 2 South Africans got an idea, and called it Waytag, the # for locations. The idea was that you tag a location with whatever you want, e.g. bob.home, and anyone looking for it would use !bob.home. They had

    Fabric had it coming. Twitter sold it because they no longer wanted to focus on it. When Google bought it, it felt a lot like buying the market. What Fabric tools are you going to miss, which Firebase does not have/support? It doesn&#x

    Yes, that was my conclusion a few months ago. I'm currently working on an Android app, and even though I published the Flutter app in "record time", the drawback is the amount of mental energy needed to make certain platform

    But that's my point (which other people are making). There's a difference between Google APIs, products and software platforms. Some are riskier than not. It adds little to the conversation if someone just says "scared of aba

    Thanks Nathan! The pricing on your site looks like something I can afford. I'm doing the work as a side-project for the "benefit of my community", I'll get in touch via email shortly.

    Thanks, the data isn't in GTFS, and loading it isn't an issue as it's GeoJSON. What I'm mainly looking for is overlaying routes on a map, and being able to export that as PDFs once I'm done. There is Vector Tiles Re

    I'm thinking a simple geographical map, with lines drawn so they overlap (where there are multiple lines/routes on the same segment). My partner is a mechanical engineer, and she says it's easier to create MTA/MBTA type

    SQL doesn't fit every use case. Ansi-SQL being the standard, has been extended on by most vendors. I too often get frustrated by the idea of learning some new query dialect, but context matters. In the case where a vendor creates somet
