Sony A7III. It has been great. The camera market has really had to keep up with smart phones so there are a lot of good options. Depending on budget, I would look at the Fuji mirrorless cameras (I think X100F, XT3, etc?). Maybe even a Rico

But in the markets, it is not about the technical definition of Bitcoin, it is about how the average market participant interprets what Bitcoin is... Being technically novel does not protect Bitcoin from being treated like currency, and it

Depends on what you define as SaaS... Looks like a lot of "websites" in the thread below, so I'd throw Pieter Levels in there: https://levels.io/

I've been doing this a lot lately as well. It's just really easy to have a directory of compose scripts in your home dir, and setup a simple bash alias/func to stand up a quick database.

I'm really not following the logic here. Are they pointing at the jump in D vote share, and then pointing at the influx of Milwaukees ballots? Milwaukee is excessively blue (86% to Biden). Why wouldn't the vote share change drasti

Seems like a lot of people screaming about this sort of thing are the same people that support Citizens United. I don't see how they're much different. Free speech is free speech, whether or not you have access to an email list of

That is exactly the problem, though, isn't it? Unaccountable third parties are literally currently controlling the truth, via disinformation. An alarming number of people are convinced in conspiracies and untruths like the deep state,

I think in that case, people need to pony up something of value to contribute and participate in such an environment. There are a few cases where I think this has succeed, in communities like ChangeMyView on reddit... Paid communities are k

This is exactly it. People in this thread are saying "I don't understand why it's so crazy to say 'I'm not taking sides'"... Well because it clearly communicates that you still think there are "two si

I'm not sure why they separated them. Spring is Spring imo. There's a lot of tooling that is very quickly accessible and "just works". We have 15 microservices and three or four UIs that are all Spring backend with React

Sorry to be a bit pedantic, but circadian rhythm is "a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours." I believe you meant REM cycles, in your first sentence (which matches up to

Yeah, views can definitely fit certain use cases. I've just never encountered cases where I eventually don't need to /do something else/ in between those two layers. Granted I'm doing a lot of systems integration on

That is not always a great idea. There is a reason APIs exist, and backend service layers exist on top of databases. It is a larger abstraction of the interface design pattern. It only makes sense if you're absolutely sure you'll

I also have a background in statistics, but landed a job as mostly a software engineer (though technically my title is Data Scientist... buzz words!). I've been building basically a cookiecutter framework for the base of a SaaS app (ba

I've found Hibernate within Spring has been fairly easy to use and adapt. Pretty easy to just add @Query(<native query>) to a method if you really need to drop into your own SQL. It also generates schemas and with something like

As others have said, there may not be an 'event'. Some metrics need to be monitored manually before setting up an event to trigger. Sure, you might have engineers analyzing the time series data, but you also need to keep your sy

How does a guitarist get more "productive" in terms of speed and quality? Practice. Build things you want to use. Or build things other people want to use. Do practice problems online (LeetCode, Project Euler, etc.). Read more doc
