Works really well with families - each person can have the app installed and it’ll bring all photos onto the device. Yes you can share photos and albums. Yes you need to make a firewall config, otherwise you’d be hosting elsewhere in the cloud. There’s no way around that.
shrug, im drastically faster than all my work mates not that thats a good benchmark, im not bothered and have stuff that works quite well for me. what i outlined above is worst case scenario with some huge IDEs like VS or a huge idea project. some projects i do entirely in vim. others i have to use 2 remote debuggers at once with a VM in the mix. im doubtful their advice would apply
Yeah, it's kind of how it happens. Your skills suck just a tiny bit less than of those around you, and you come to unwarranted conclusion that you are doing good.
Unfortunately, our industry has few small pockets where you can still find competent programmers every now and then, but you wouldn't see them using IDEA or VS Code. And then there's an ocean of... well, not even mediocrity, it's just hands down awful. Most programmers throughout their career will never see a competent programmer, and if they stay around will be promoted into management where they will lose the very modest skill they had. And the cycle will continue.
I don't want to support people who don't want to support themselves. Also, the commenter wasn't asking for support. They proudly believe that what they do is a legitimately good way to use their computer.
I've seen way too many people like that, and have an idea how that kind of belief is formed. I don't want to help those people. I want them gone.
Yes you can point it to "any" podcast for now. At this time, you will have to purchase a membership however we're thinking about allowing users with "registered" accounts to also be able to as well.
Most document cameras come with their own stand. I have an IPEVO VZ-R [1], which you can route through your capture card with an HDMI switch if you already have that kind of setup. Being able to draw on a piece of paper to explain a concept feels amazing compared to whatever drawing tools one otherwise would have in software.
It's on a springy swing arm from a decapitated lamp. Googling for "camera swing arm" brings up a few images and products that look better than my hackjob.
We use gcc/javac/etc almost daily and having some understanding of what your toolchain is likely to be very beneficial. Here are a few things I've done with my compiler knowledge:
1. Wrote a simulator of sorts for a 68xx CPU. User passed in assembly files and I simulated the execution and spat out cycle counts. The real-time application had a fixed time window it could not exceed. I did this in my first year out of college with compilers fresh on my mind.
2. Wrote an automated test tool for a proprietary protocol. The protocol had the usual opcodes but they could only be played in a certain order (cannot send B before C or can send B any number of times and have it be idempotent). The QA engineers were doing this by hand. I asked them if they could automated the test case generation and they looked at me as though I was an idiot. I developed a tool with its own simplified grammar that they could use to build test cases which exercised all combinations/permutations of the opcodes. Saved us a ton of time and made the developers more productive.
3. My hackiest project was an SGML parser that was used to generate hypertext documents. Tech writer wrote docs in FrameMaker. My hacky parser found the places where the TOC and the Index could be linked and inserted hypertext links. Net result is we had a document that could be printed and viewed online. Think 1993/1994.
I've sat with a number of engineers who thought the compiler was wrong and sat down and looked at the assembly with them and mapped it back to C only for them to realize the bug was in their code.
Compilers are fun. You should take a compiler course just for that!
I like to know how much incremental disk space I'm using so I have a series of scripts that tell me the files which have been deleted/added and outputs to get the sum (yes, I know there are better ways). The impetus for checking disk usage is a tale in IT stupidity which I don't talk about! But now I use the script for other purposes as well such as verifying that my mirror has the same deltas without doing a full compare. I hope I haven't disappointed you with my usage :-)
I really should rewrite this but it was written many years ago and grew into something more than I originally intended. Plus, it works.
Can you talk about your two books? Fiction, non-fiction? Genre. I'm always curious to know more about successful writers and what they did - even if I'm not wired to do the same.
I self-published one book and am working on a second. I have done zero marketing as I wrote the book primarily for myself. Those who have read it really enjoyed including people who are extremely blunt about their opinions.
I wrote a novel (action / psychological thriller). Second book is again a thriller but with time-travel, but it isn't sci-fi.
I haven't tried writing science fiction but enjoy reading the genre - currently reading Dust by Hugh Howey. Thus, I tend to stick to the current world as I understand it better.
I've now self-published one book and have started a second. I haven't made enough money to even pay for the cover art! But I'm doing this for myself and if it results in a back catalog that generates income, cool. If not, then also cool.
Edit: I've reached out to the Monument team as well.
