I used to use ORMs because they made switching between local dev DBs ( like SQLLite, or Postgres) and production DBs usually painless. Especially for Ruby/Sinatra/Rails since we were writing the model queries in another abstraction. It meant we didn’t have to think as much about joins and all that stuff. Until the performance went to shit and you had to work out why.
Or just building a straight close of your idea and crushing you. Happened to my startup.
Even then it would be most likely seeded by a probe from so distant that they’d never be able to travel here. Think Voyager probe, but maybe faster. If we’d sent one with a bio seed package and sent it right at the best life supporting planet we could find it’s still gonna be 10s or 100s of thousands of years before it even arrives, then a couple hundred million years for anything to evolve there.
It would be sorta hilarious if we were a distant science experiment though.
The data theft and possible espionage seems like an even bigger liability for them. They know they did illegal shit, and those star link antennas were there for that reason.
I’ve always used desoldering braid and patience. Always tinned first with 60/40 rosin core and some flux to get the heat flowing in faster and break the oxide layer.
Maybe finding a stand to hole the reflow gun above your work to free up a hand would help.
A good pcb clamp helps a lot too.
I haven’t been, but I thought the long hike limited the amount of visitors, or possibly tour ticketing as well.
I don’t think the matted grass is too bad considering that really any minor traffic in a limited area will compact the soil too much for grass to grow.
At least they have an erosion control in mind.
You mean like a Carriage. Where the term car came from?
And snakes hide in grass.
Shared scooters end up being a mess for cities to clean up though. See Lime, Bird etc.
Many people don’t seem to want to take care of things they don’t feel invested in, or that are used by other people. It’s why we can’t have nice things.
Pretty sure the Trump team would have plastered that all over the media if it had happened.
Good choice and those wheel weights aren’t too expensive either. Plus they stick in place. I’ve got a bunch left over from replacing rusty ones on my snow tires too!
It hit a phone pole 20 feet from our house once and killed our router and everything connected the the coaxial cable.
All the windows rattled in our house and if it weren’t for the flash you’d think a semi drove into it.
Arduino has always been a kinda shitified version of Wiring. The “founders” stole it from one of their grad students and have been making kinda dumb decisions since.
The main thing they’ve been good at is marketing. Arduino is a great name, but stumbling into the oddly positioned headers to make the shields unique is a good example of kinda dumb choices. Also the infighting with the board maker and ex-professors.
Wiring is a terrible name for a language, and completely unsearchable, but here’s a link to the originators of the wiring language (what became arduino) if you’re interested.
Lightning and distant clouds are the only thing I miss about living in the flat Midwest.
Mountains and blizzards are a good trade off though. We get thunderstorms too, but if you see a lightning bolt, you’re probably in danger of either dying or frying some of the electronics in your home. And your ears will be ringing.
I was working with the education division about a decade and a bit ago when they had an open source platform with sensors and motors. Then iRobot abruptly killed that division too, right as our project was getting going.
I haven’t felt good about that company since.
Does anyone remember margarine? It’s mostly as good as any other butter, was historically much cheaper, and actually better in things like butter cream frosting (makes it lighter and fluffier).
My wife has developed an allergy to dairy in the last 5 years and all these alternative butters are ridiculously overpriced, but many of them seem to just be margarine with vegan butter branding Some of them like Miyokos are kinda terrible sometimes, or smell like fish oil when heated in a pan.
I live both north and east of NYC, I want the later sunlight in summer and winter. The first hour of light is wasted on me and many others. Farmers maybe not, but around here that’s pretty much over by late October anyway.
I’ve also lived at the most extreme opposite end of the Eastern time zone in Michigan, and like the late evening sunlight even more!
In printing it’s a little different, but if you need an exact color you can add it to the process, much like adding a varnish or other fancy finish.
Orange was always a problem when I was a designer. It had to be specific, you had to send a Pantone chip along, hope it hadn’t faded or changed color over the years (or buy new ones constantly) and then it still came out different than planned.
We had a legit swear jar in a vocational class in HS (in the 90s). It was 25¢ per swear unless is was at the teacher, then it was a dollar.
We had pizza at the end of the semester from the proceeds.
The teacher later got canned for throwing a hammer at a student, but it was after my time there.
The weather in New England and upper New York is very much like German weather, and sometimes worse. We’ve had snow on the grounds since the 30th of November and it’s only barely reached 0C in the last week.
It was -15C a couple nights ago at roughly the latitude of Rome, next to the ocean too. And only about 50km northwest (inland) it went down to -25C.
This has been a colder December than average for the last decade, but we have mountains that regularly get meters of snow each winter, and they are way lower elevation than the alps too. Also as we all know the last decade has been stoopid warm.
Mt Washington has measured the highest wind speed in the world.
