I built a home-grown scanner like this one (not with ZBar though) for my asset tracking web app (www.assetbots.com) and agree that for 1D barcodes a cheap bluetooth or USB scanner is hard to beat. We support both (camera and external), but

I launched Assetbots ( https://www.assetbots.com/ ) last year and went through a lot of ups and downs transitioning into the "people give me money" phase of the SaaS journey. This year I plan to go all-in on scaling

I never realized just how bad this can be until I started selling/marketing my startup. I was so confused by the reaction to my participation on a few subreddits where my target customers hang out - I had never experienced anything lik

Congrats on launching Aaron! I've been a Replicache user since v7 when it was distributed as wasm - it's now v10 for General Availability. My use case is quite a bit different than this demo - I'm making a bog-standard back o

I'm also working on a similar product, but targeted toward small businesses ( https://assetbots.com/ ). I agree that the simplicity is nice here. I've done a lot of customer interviews and demos at this point, so he

I definitely will. I'm adding an issue to my roadmap right now. This would be a no-brainer add-on for some common use cases.

This is really cool! I'm working on an asset tracking application right now ( https://www.assetbots.com/ ), and generating labels are a big part of the workflow. My roadmap calls for simply generating Avery sheets. But i

Thanks for taking the time to check it out. We're actually unsure of market size, except for anecdotally because we are the market. We're hoping to better understand the market and our place in it doing this sort of phase-in, rather than

I've never dealt with an ultra-long trip like the one he's talking about in the article. However, for "normal-"length vacations you might take as a software engineer (i.e., 2 weeks or so), I've found that my body actually benefits from the

The most useful information on the current state of RMTP client libraries I could find: http://captsolo.net/info/blog_a.php/2009/01/19/rtmp_flash_vi... I suppose it was only officially published by Adobe at the beginning of 2009...

The big problem with that is that you'd have to use the same really_long_random_string to register for every gravatar-enabled site you want to register for. The only benefit I can see of this is that you could easily blacklist emails

I suppose it depends on the definition of "success". Learning about the state of the art and writing some enlightening code, no matter its ultimate usefulness, would be plenty successful for me. I'm mostly surprised at the lack of papers I'

Yes, I've done a bit of searching on CBIR actually. There are a few papers out there about querying at multiple resolutions (like http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/query/mrquery.pdf ), which will definitely be helpful. The next step,

I assumed you did, I was honestly just trying to formulate my point. That, and I was talking about C++ macros, which is what Joel was referring to as well.

This actually is a neat article. Especially the hit-it-home sentence: Now, you too can share some of this glory by writing your own compiler for the Microsoft® .NET Framework. Made me ready to pick up the phone and buy a "10 Steps to Maki

Allowing a user to edit the string later is the most common reason I've encountered. No one likes to see an input all cluttered with """, "&" and the like.

Given the overall theme of this rant, I would assume that it's about keeping code close together and easy to understand. Obviously, macros have almost nothing in common with functions. Macros are simply shorthand for code that will be liter

My Google interview a few years ago was very similar. No matter how confident you are, it's amazing how nerves can cause you to stand there at the whiteboard babbling like a newborn. Google actually had me do two on-site interviews (one in
