Thanks! I have been thinking about the pricing lately. There seems to be a demand for something like a starter plan with lower price and quota - not everyone needs 1500 images per month. However at lower price, there will be more support works to be done. Would you still use the product at lower price with lower support priority?
Founder of Stencil here, I'll be around to answer questions.
This project started after I started playing with RC plane and was looking for ways to overlay telemetry data on my video. I realized that there's actually a similar use case but for images instead and pivoted to this idea.
Took around 7 months to build while working full-time. My expectation was around 3 months but as any software project, deadline is just a suggestion. Having a toddler in a pandemic does not help expedite the process :D
Overall I had really fun building this.
For those curious, this is the stack.
Backend - Elixir with LiveView Frontend - Rescript with RescriptReact Deployment - Kubernetes deployed to managed DO kubernetes cluster

Why We Sleep is really good. It really changed my view on sleep.
What OS are you running? I'm really curious on your setup if you're running Linux. I have the same Thinkpad but it's impossible for me to the the idle wattage like that.
Not all people have English as their first language.
Are there cyript like alternative for Android?

Currently looking for opportunities to work across the stack with other talented engineers on challenging, engaging projects that solve difficult problems. I've given talk during PyCon Malaysia recently about interesting project that I worked on recently. It involved lots of heavy and time consuming data calculation.
My background is in Maths (Uni of Wisconsin-Madison), but I have been coding professionally for a while now.
It's just an alias, but the way I use it is different. When declaring variable I opt for `string` but of course you should probably user `var`. But when calling method bound to the class, I would use `String`, i.e `String.format()`, etc
Change to different desktop by tapping on the bottom right/left of your screen.
Do you know exactly where? I couldn't find it.
SEEKING WORK - remote, from KL, Malaysia
My current job involves working with Hadoop and ML. Previously, I was a full stack engineer.
I am looking for web development work preferably front-end, I can do back-end as well but prefer front-end work for now.
Fluent in Python, C#, JS and have worked with Rails previously.
I speak fluent English (Educated in US)
How?
Just bought mine in April :/
This. Don't burn the bridge when you leave your job.
I was roughly in the same position as you couple of months ago. I was working in the banking industry for almost 2 years, but always had a thing for IT (start learning programming when I was 13+ but made a mistake when choosing career). What I did was I start planning for 6 months, and in those 6 months I try to improve my CS theory for interview purposes and start doing personal projects (finished projects, something tangible that you can show). The projects should have some sort of complexity just for the sake of telling the interviewer that you are capable of doing/learning whatever that you are applying for.
I don't have much of a saving at that time, roughly 4-5 months worth of saving and I did one freelance job at that time. I quit without having another job in line. It takes courage and some stupidity to be honest haha but I've got through and managed to secure couple of dev jobs. It depends on you, for the SaaS part I prefer to have some thing going first and quit my job as I've seen friends who've done that quit, and only start after that and failed. I prefer to have things going first and quit. Note that in my country, economic is alright and people are hiring so might want to take that into account as well.
I know this is kinda late, but I would go for 8GB RAM and 256GB if possible. 126GB is too little for me, I own rMBP 13" with 512GB (roughly 500GB free for storage), but even with that I have used 200GB. I don't store musics, pictures, etc. It is just my development folder. 256GB will give you more room to breath although you can just use external.
I was studying in the US 2 years ago and during the summer break I went to India to visit my gf who is studying there. During re-entry to the US, I was detained/interrogated for couple of hours.
I believe it is probably due to I am a Muslim and I have Indian immigration stamp in my passport. I even have my I-20 endorsed prior to travelling. Even with I-20 proof, I had to convince the officer that I came to the US for education. I also have friends who are also Muslim, randomly searched/detained at the airport and all of them are students too.
Besides that, I enjoyed my stay in the US. Just the immigration part is PITA.
