I feel a little under qualified to post here, but: * reports and delivery tracking to help a meals on wheels program * app and systems to manage 1000s of traffic cameras * app to balance billions of dollars worth of bank transactions w POS

We play this with our kids on car rides with some regularity. We usually limit scope to some book series- LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc. Kids get really annoyed when I pick something super obscure like “a hair on Gandalf’s beard”. So

Early in my .NET career Framework Design Guidelines made a big impression and improved my code quality. I liked the prescriptive "Do/Don't/Consider + ELI5" style of the rules and to this day use that approach in so

The main thing I’ve done is take RTMP/RTSP from network cameras (im doing this for traffic cameras) and push to HLS. This is very powerful as you can take a camera that otherwise would require a special viewer and play in any modern b

Interesting post that reminded me of my Compuserve/Delphi days. I’m pretty passionate about my garden. I’m out there every day picking off caterpillars and frequently googling how to get more yield from a few beds. I have learned the

One thing I wish ffmpeg tools - including this one- would do better is account for live inputs and outputs. I’ve come up with the incantations to do live rtsp to hls, webcam to hls and more, but it’s always something I have to relearn.

I’m dealing with this now. Company got hacked and so now are over the top locking down everything to the point it’s unusable. I told them the other day that the most secure thing they could do is just turn it all off.

Came here to point this out. For non-trivial implementations of showHtmlPage, this is a vulnerability. A malicious user could set up a 403 response with a fake “please re-enter your card to verify” form that sends to the attacker, or poss

If you want to converse with me, first define your terms - Voltaire I was taught that Gilgamesh wasn’t the first written work of literature, but the first written work of epic story. I don’t know if this is true, but many of the other works

Looks interesting but a few questions I don’t see answered in the docs: How do permissions work? Ie if I had a notes app, and wanted users to only be able to upset and query _their_ notes, how do I make that happen? Why no LAN for web brow

We have a similar albeit plastic microscope for our kids. The issue I have with it on newer iPhone is that the phone keeps wanting to switch lenses. So you clip it on one of the lenses, but iOS will switch between that lens and the others

To be fair, this is a big part of the problem- I’m doing this on a m1 mac, PLUS am new to python. Fortunately there are some good guides. Still, this is a solvable problem in other package managers.

I’ve been tinkering with stable diffusion lately and this has been a rude introduction to python. Coming from .net (nuget) and JavaScript (npm), it’s baffling that there isn’t an established solution for python. It looks to me like people

Problem not addressed is where does the DIY store get their inventory from and how do they manage it? Is it really better for lots of big local stores to warehouse lots of goods and attempt to out-consumer Amazon? Case in point: I recently

Assuming organisms adapted to live there, it would be harder for them to reach escape velocity to leave their planet. Is there a cut-off where known physics says it’s impractical to leave a planet? Ie the most powerful practical fuel woul

This seems like an area for AI research. These are the points where a general AI will have a hard time, because language parsing is not enough. It has to “know” the context -of say MIT’s Green Building vs green building- and be able to de

It’s important to distinguish between validation and exception. If a client passes in bad value you can handle:, out of range, not found db item etc, return an appropriate 400 with details about the error that the client can do something wi

I’m a Net developer since 1.0 (and before that), but Silverlight really burned me on XAML. I want to like it, but inevitably end up thinking JS/HTML are better in most cases. For all its faults, JS is something more developers can un

Anybody have a good resource for building hardware for this sort of thing on a hacker budget? I’d love to build a Tricorder for my garden.
