I’ll second this, it’s absolutely a game changer. I’ve used handlebar mounted mirrors and the like but I’ll never willingly go back. I tend to prefer helmet mounted and I glue them on which isn’t my favorite thing to do on a new helmet. It’

This reminds me of an oft recommended book "Digital Apollo". One of the driving topics is the human interaction component and the difference in designing a fully automated system versus one that is designed with an operator that c

They were highly patent encumbered for a while. I think much of that is expired but the manufacturing base hasn’t caught up yet. The pricing is pretty expensive even in bulk. $50 for the larger displays isn’t off by an order of magnitude (e

The good 'ole days. You're paying the tax at some point, but if that's at the start of the project it might be high enough to stop it in its tracks. A mature Rails or Django project require abstracting configuration later on

Absolutely. The answer is better integration boundaries but then you’re paying the abstraction cost which might be higher. It’s particularly difficult when the system under test includes an application that isn’t designed to be set up ephem

These printers also have an expansion network card. A decade ago I worked on a project to deploy a couple hundred of these to a restaurant chain as part of a POC for an online ordering program for pickup orders. The requirement for each fra

One especially frustrating version of this is a log or the like reporting a time as UTC but it’s not. So close.

I’ve left positions for similar reasons. Another strain of this is forcing some COTS application to work via a million hacks and integrations (usually via consulting resources) when a fundamental architecture or application change is neede

Did you like the outcome and did it feel sustainable? I'm so conditioned to providing buffered estimates, especially for highly-dependent systems, I would really struggle to not accidentally buffer. I'm generally invisibly factori

They’re a fairly common design pattern https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker_design_patte... . However, they certainly aren’t implemented with the frequency they should be at service level boundaries resulting

As a a weasel word, I hear it mentioned whenever why's writing comes up the absolute sea-change it caused in the types of writing that followed it. I know it absolutely changed the content that was coming out even if it was just part o

I interpreted the comment to be about the number of customers in a store as opposed to stock levels. Anecdotally, Traders Joes does seem to have a higher base level of customers at any given time. However, I readily acknowledge that percept

I had a coworker a couple years ago who brought in his own chair (a Herman Miller Aeron). When we came in after a weekend it had been removed and replaced with a cheap, office special that was the default in the cubicles. After a couple day

Yes, and this surprises me each time it happens. As a for instance, I was the operations lead a couple years ago for a large, customer-facing financial product rollout. The timeline was insanely aggressive, approximately 10 months ahead of

This is the approach I use. For the AWS specific workflows e.g. SNS inbound to S3 bucket, processed and put in another bucket getting the structure of a heterogeneous set of events can be a hassle.

While not universally true, a manual process does typically require a process to fix mistakes. This is true of software as well but the perceived lack of errors in software processes often leads to this being ignore resulting in the aforeme

I've had some applications down today. The initial reports are date related issues with the New Year. I suspect that's incorrect given it's Jan 4, but an anecdote nonetheless.

As a note, for older Canon DSLRs that aren't supported you can pick up a cheap capture card on ebay for $15 and an AC adapter for a similar price. Using Magic Lantern you can get clean HDMI out and do any cropping needed in a tool like

There has been a big shift to ship-from-store to make up for limited warehouse capacity to meet increased demand. The options for delays for store picks up are much the same: employees drop off at depot, third party courier, or wait.

I think that's part of it. There is a convention over configuration issue as well. A language like Go forces some patterns like package management and formatting unless you actively try to subvert it. It wouldn't surprise me if ma

It's not better if you have an environment that allows easy iterative function development. This is just a way to achieve that. However, combined with some of the other clojure niceties (namely cider and structural editing) it does mak

While I personally agree I think this caters to a different audience. A large swath of people simply learn better from videos (or are more engaged by perhaps...).
