Wish the videos were working. It would be really cool to adjust the style as well

Yes please improve surf forecasting!

This is great, I'm currently studying for Security+ and will be using this. Where are the practice questions from?

Thank you!

Trombone! I joined a couple of community bands and they are always something to look forward to

Seems cool! Was getting into WebRTC last year and this would have helped a lot. Is the pricing for this available yet?

I usually look for duplicate issues that aren’t being addressed, or if there’s just a lot of seemingly non-trivial ones that go unanswered

Big fan of your articles! I have a few bookmarked that I like to read every now and then

Looks cool, did you compose the backing tracks yourself?

That’s what made it easier for me. I would be that drive-by user in discord or searching for “Good First Issue” without even being remotely interested in the project. Now I try to focus on using it first. It was mostly an ego thing I had to move past

Ansible caught my interest! I setup a dev server and have been wondering about using Ansible to install my development dependencies on a new OS

That forum was a godsend and really supportive when I converted my prerunner to 4wd!

Car forums don’t help either when most answers are “use the search function”. Which I understand, but some things have changed and/or people have learned better since the early 2000’s when those questions were originally asked :)

I joined a community college concert band playing trombone. I’ve since started playing in other groups as a result of that

College senior project - 3dof robotic arm on a vertical gantry system attached to a hydroponic garden. We used 2 arduino’s to control the lighting and gantry. Then one pi onboard the robot for imaging and another for a web user interface.

In my area there are local business organizations (chamber of commerces, etc.) that help students connect with employers. Smaller shops appreciate a motivated young person hand-delivering a resume. I got my first job that way!

I’d be hard pressed to open a cold emailed PDF. Out of curiosity does anyone have a good way to inspect them prior to downloading?

Your first point is interesting. I’ve been meaning to explore some of these options lately (llama.cpp). I’m a bit too smooth brained to build a good business offering around that.

Email: james@kauaitechgroup.com

I've worked for the past 3 years as a self-employed software developer, building data-focused full-stack web applications for businesses and non-profits. Recently I have been building an Airtable portal for data entry and analytics with the largest coffee farm in the United States (using Typescript and NextJS). Previously I developed C++ software for General Dynamics Mission Systems.

Definitely going to try this for StackExchange

Great story and congrats! Thank you for posting, I hope I can get your help in the near future for a few projects!

I recently picked up react native, though I had a good amount of experience with React already and much of it is similar. Except for working with the file system and tooling.

One good boilerplate I’d recommend having a look at is https://github.com/infinitered/ignite not a course but possibly a good resource to learn from.

Thank you! That is helpful to know.

Can an S corp be single member? What are the drawbacks to using an S corp as opposed to an LLC?

Those little trucks with long beds are awesome. On a related note, people here in Hawaii have been importing Japanese kei trucks like crazy!

Got some coming in at 26!

I enjoy it because it introduced me to Postgres, which coming from firebase and NoSQL was refreshing

Anecdotally, using GPT-4 with Typescript has made its code output much cleaner.

Happen to have a write up on this? It sounds really cool. I’m in the process of retiring old machines for a client and I was thinking of doing that.

I’ve been using it to learn SQL - it’s been helpful asking it to explain queries or joins that I want to perform.

Intriguing work! I hadn’t realized they made grinder/brew combo machines…

Building a GUI or TUI would be a fun addition too!
