I'd have to look at what it looked like before, but when I visited there earlier this month, I didn't see any restoration in progress and the star map was open. I didn't take a ton of photos in that area, and here are the only two of the monument I grabbed:
I definitely wouldn't pay $1600 but I like the idea of an ultra-modular and configurable desk. I wonder if you could build something similar with 80-20 extrusions (and/or similar knock-off) and an Ikea desktop. There's a huge ecosystem of ways to integrate/extend these and you could do some cool things with them.
This looks really cool. I need to dig through some more examples before I'd take anything I say without a massive grain of salt. :)
Maybe I've been writing too much React and Android Compose UI lately, but instead of a declarative structure, have you considered a functional structure? That seems to be a create way to build composable components and add enough programmability (e.g. loops, conditionals) and keep a nice one-way flow down the line.
Something like
``` import {Resistor, Signal, Ohms, Float} ...
def VoltageDivider(totalR: Ohms, ratio: Float, signal1: Signal, signal2: Signal, signalOut: Signal) { r1 = Resistor(totalR/ratio, signal1, signalOut) r2 = Resistor(totalR(1-ratio),signal2,signalOut) }
def MyBoard() { s1 = Signal() s2 = Signal() s3 = Signal() div1 = VoltageDivider(totalR: 100_000, ratio:.33, signal1: s1, signal2: s2, signalOut: s3)
}
It's similar to what you have but maybe a bit more of a programming language than a declarative format. The trade-off is that tooling support gets harder as you add some basic language features, but the upside is a more powerful language.
This road trip video does a good job showing the papercuts and more significant issues that make a non-Tesla road trip painful.
Good story about that decision here (they did think about making it reversible): https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/6/25/18744012/u...
You can run WSL on any version of Windows (including Home Edition). Docker can also use WSL2 as its backend, so I rarely need to run VMs on my Windows dev machines anymore.
WHO had a good section in their situation report a few days ago comparing Covid-19 and the standard flu: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situati...
A good analysis on this point from a public health perspective: https://www.flattenthecurve.com/
I have noticed this as well. I keep a set of "mildly interesting" podcasts for when I want to occupy mind enough to help me fall asleep, usually on airplanes.
I agree, as a mostly C# developer for years, then Typescript (Node, Angular and React) for the last couple of years, when I go back to C# projects, I feel like I'm doing a lot of work for the compiler. And really elegant use of the TS type system doesn't translate well into C# many times, forcing me to write boilerplate.
I've been eyeing F# for more elegant managed code, but that's going to take me a little more up-front investment to get productive.
Azure has a separate service to read forms and formatted docs. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service...
There's a good story about that... https://medium.com/@JohnLeFevre/the-roadshow-aka-the-worst-p...
He's not advocating either.. keep reading
