During the demo they quickly shuffled off of, the air flow lines completely broke. It was just a few dots moving left to right, changing the angle of the surface showed no visual difference in airflow.

FUTO Keyboard 2 years ago

Tangentially, I think I may have developed some bad habits and muscle memory from relying on features like this when typing on android. So much so that when typing using FUTO's keyboard I ended up just getting frustrated at all the misspelling and went back to native.

Also missing a CAS Latency filter. It's the only reason I find myself going to newegg over Amazon so I can filter by it.

Which is then immediately contradicted by the following FAQ:

I REPRESENT, OR KNOW OF, A COMPANY THAT COULD DO YOUR T-SHIRT FULFILLMENT REALLY INEXPENSIVELY. ... We have made the move away from using t-shirts as a reward in the interests of making global delivery of rewards simpler and to ensure Hacktoberfest continues supporting and raising awareness for open-source projects worldwide for years to come.

Disappointing really. Always looked forward to the cool designs and having a complete set for each year back-to-back. Not sure why they can't let people just opt-in purchase the shirt if they qualify.

Also, the company behind Traefik.

Containous.

It doesn't sound bad in your head, but then you say it out loud. (Yes even the CEO pronounces it that way in videos too)

A visual bot maker.

Imagine a blueprint editor similar to one found in UE4 or Unity, but for chat bots. You can place a node a connect it to other nodes to express the logic of a given bot command, we have support for Variables to persist data across invocations and also have Parameters so if you just want to import something from the marketplace without editing the nodes you get a simple form view.

It's still very Alpha, not all the nodes are implemented, variables are currently bugged, the editor can be a little buggy, but it's something I'm actively developing and plan to monetize eventually.

Wollay and most software development he does is intermittent at best. The Cube World community went 6 years without an update. He will occasionally (every few years) post screenshots and teasers on social media, but it seems very clear that development of his projects is whimsical. I don't think anyone at this point would be surprised if he tweeted out tomorrow that he's done developing Cube World.

It also seems that Plasma was never actually sold. It was a preview that just required a free signup.

Sadly it's hard to argue the effect that KR is having is "positive".

KR stood up by working closely with Pivotal who supplied both the Pivots to pair program with the comparatively inexperienced AF devs as well as the deployment platform.

While the means are debatable, the ends that Units supplying devs to KR had to face we're not. Those Units got back programmers completely reliant on Pivotal Cloud Foundary. You would get devs that had no concept of what happens to their code after they run `cf push` and the Units had to face the reality that their devs were ineffective without PCF which costed 10's of millions to purchase and maintain by a team of Pivotal engineers.

Obviously Pivotal is a company that exists to make profit but smaller units that supplied devs to KR largely felt taken advantage of. And after that you had things like SpaceCamp, LevelUp, Platform1, that are very similar to KR just without the heavy reliance on Pivotal or their products popping up left and right.

Now that it's gone on for so long even leadership in KR is getting pressured to actually produce a product ready app for all the money that's been dumped. They have plenty of MVP's but afaik nothing to big AF's satisfaction.

At least from a lowly enlisted programmers perspective you can live in Boston in civilian clothes for 6 months.

Assuming we will never find a way to safely dispose of spent fuel is quiet pessimistic imo. And regardless of how nuclear will be bad in the future, fossil fuels are bad now and alternative energies like wind and solar simply aren't ready to take over.

As far as I'm concerned, nuclear is clean comparatively.

Python at Netflix 7 years ago

From what I understand from their talk on how they (don't) do devops they adopt a polygot architecture and teams use different languages.

Tangentally I've had great success with Drone. Holding similar frustrations that other commenters are expressing here it was a breath of fresh air to see how dead simple making custom steps in Drone was compared to actually needing to write code for Jenkins.

Every step in Drone is just a container, so if I want a Golang build container I can just set the step image to Golang:latest and start running build commands. And if you're wanting to encapsulate some logic into a "plugin" you can just pre-make your own docker image and from there any settings you pass in with the steps are converted to environment variables that can be accessed inside the container. Many of the default drone plugins like docker registry build, etc. Are just a couple line bash scripts on GitHub.
