If the power usage is correct on my UPS, my whole setup draws about 70W for: - USG Pro 4 - Cloud Key gen 2 - Two basic POE Switches - 4 access point - 5 cameras - 1 raspberry pi - 1 VSDL Modem

That's basically what http://www.cargosense.com/services.html does. I remember Rich Kilmer presenting a beacon a couple years ago that does GPS/accelerometer/temperature/whatnot to monitor packages.

The first time I used a car with hill assist I wondered why the car wouldn't start. Seems the assist was slower than me at the brake-clutch-accelerator game.

Hosting images on dropbox might be an issue. Maybe you should use data url so the signature is "self-hosted".

Apple invested in MacRuby? What a joke! This project was almost singlehandedly held by one person. I know for a fact that Apple doesn't give a fuck about MacRuby, don't fool yourself about that.

If you spent a few minutes to read RM's doc you'd have seen that RubyMotion runs on top of the Objective-C runtime. The only thing it "replaces" is the language, the syntax if you will. API, calls, parameters, ... all is native. This is not

Of course it's a shame that Laurent needs to eat and of course this has everything to do about RM being able to build for Mac or not. Knowing him, I know he would prefer RM to be open source but it would be much harder for him to monetize h

Since Laurent Sansonetti is the author of MacRuby AND RubyMotion, he already said feature from RM will be backported (and hence open-sourced) to MacRuby

As mentioned above, CocoaPods will probably be used for this purpose as it is already the de-facto repository for MacRuby.

I tried a bit, technically it works but currently you have to compile your xib to nib manually using ibtool. That may have changed tough because I dropped the xib as I didn't really needed it.

I may have missed something but API calls looks like a regular Ruby call with a hash and since all [] are dropped it's systematically shorter (not even counting the fact that you don't have .h/.m, declaration/implementation, it's not just a

Having been part of the private beta I can tell you that it's a huge time saver. Objective-C is nice be ruby is much more expressive, you can use the same API with much less code, you can skip XCode altogether and use your favorite editor,

Forget the centralized/decentralized stuff. At some point almost all git users have a somewhat centralized model. You say you don't get it yet and I think it's the issue. Coming from years of SVN I was in more or less the same situation (bu

Technically the author is right but I think that equating "quality" (or even worse perceived quality) with the quantity of colors used is a bit of a stretch.

When is the "better" precision needed? Because the article itself says low/high 70's. This would translate to 20-25˚C. Who feels the difference between 72 and 73 (22.2222-22.7777˚C)? If you need precision, you will need decimals, in ˚F or i

Like thinking Intelissense is a language feature for instance, or trying to shoehorn an inherently web language into general purpose and complaining (it's doable, everybody does it but you have to accept it was not meant to).

We use Mercurial here. Easy, secure (ssh with keys) never forget files, small transfer size, possibility of committing regularly when the client has access to the files. With hooks, the update is done as soon as the changesets are received.

ok, if I understand well this is a competitor, smaller, slower with an inferior screen and touch technology and you have to (easily but still...) change its software to support those features given it's not build for it. The only advantages

We use Redmine here (~4 people) and it's great. Rails backed, lots of plugin if you need more and easily extendable. It integrate cleanly with CVS, Git, Mercurial, SVN, ... and we'll even do invoicing with it in a few weeks. There are paid
