This is truly a game changer for flight controllers. You can easily write programs for your FC and only your imagination is the limit.

I convinced my family to move to Signal. Perhaps try that.

Upvoted just because of your tech stack.

Yep, Agree. I specifically used elm-mdl and elm-ui. Elm-mdl were not well maintained and elm-ui, while nice, is desktop only.

When I last tried Elm, I didn't find any really good UI libraries. Also there weren't any good solutions for i18n. Has the situation changed?

The owner of SmartOdds betting company, Matthew Benham is applying his company's statistical insights to the clubs he owns. This has proven quite successful. Great to see Arsenal doing the same. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jul/27/how-fc-midtj...

Django Tastypie does that as well.

Great overview. Thanks a lot.

Sorry, but this is not why I go to HN.

Here's a good explanation of Ant Pheromones and how it's used as a routing topology in the MUTE P2P software.

I started reading "Beginning Haskell". So far the most practical Haskell learning resource I've encountered. http://www.apress.com/9781430262503

There is eclipsefp. http://eclipsefp.github.io/

This is also commonly used on Model Planes flying "First Person View". See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_AnqOFAs3Q for an example.

At my company we also work remote and we love Floobits.

http://fpvlab.com is a good forum for all things FPV.

Sadly I don't know much about the current situation in Bulgaria. But it is one of the most beautiful and charming countries I've visited. Corruption is rampant. We paid off a police officer (for speeding) and a local official (faster paperwork) in the week were there. It's crazy cheap to stay there.

Yep, Trance works for me as well. I use di.fm/trance.

I think what you are describing is pretty common among developers. The good thing about your situation, is that you have the power to change your self limiting behaviours. You have to push yourself. Finish a webapp and post it to HN. Get involved in a local tech group and do a talk. Sign up for a MOOC from Coursera or Udacity. All of these requires hard work, but will give you confidence. Beeing successful as a software developer is as much about how you market yourself as how good a dev you are. So if you want success, you have to learn how do those things. I'm learning this as well. It's not easy, but necessary.

There are external apps that provide this. https://github.com/gmcguire/django-db-pool https://github.com/kennethreitz/django-postgrespool https://github.com/niwibe/djorm-ext-pool

It's owned by the danish top level register. I guess they just added a dns entry for that.

I'd be curious to know what magic is in tastypie? It's some of the most straightforward python code I've ever read.

Wow, We were one day from migrating away from Heroku because of this exact issue. I even made a custom Postgis build for dotcloud that also has extensions such as HStore. https://github.com/resmio/postgresql-on-dotcloud. Guess we have time to reconsider now.

I agree, and for a 101 web scraping tutorial keeping it simple is nice.

There are other python libraries than urllib.

This will only be a good approach if you are going to scrape a small amount of pages. The problem is using synchronous requests, as this blocks the crawler until a request has finished. Using asynchronous requests such as supported by twisted (and scrapy) will allow you to crawl a lot faster using the same resources.

It's funny how some people can spin a story.

My first ever programming job was a project for Lego and as a bonus they gave my friend and I a Lego Mindstorms set each. This was version 1.5 of the first edition. I remember we installed legOS (now brickOS) which allowed you to run code on the RCX. Definitively gonna buy EV3. Would be fun to try some of the algorithms Sebastian Thrun taught in his Udacity robotics course.

I purchased this book as a MEAP (Manning Early Access Program) in august 2008. Never expected it to take this long.
