I haven't had anything interesting to post over time, but glad I bought my domain years ago for various reasons (yikes, 2007 it looks like, 20 years?!). Will try to throw a PR up, young kids keep me busy.
I spent the better half of a decade trying to rid us of the business logic in the database. At some point, the hole was too deep as we had stored procedures calling each other, such a mess. I could go on and on but also found hiring difficult, we were a small team so a database-only developer was a hard pill to swallow.
I eventually left. We pivoted to a new product and leadership agreed the old system was legacy to remain untouched. Eventually this thinking changed and the old product was to be integrated with the new. Sprocs were back baby! My battle was lost, I was done.
Ahh! This is so cool!! Really neat idea, very slick.
Played around with the demo, very well done! I love the walk-through.
Small issue: I noticed you can click on multiple music/sounds and they start to stack with each playing over the other (using Windows/FireFox). That was the only issue I encountered during a quick play-through.
A few years back I gave the Roccbox a shot (https://us.gozney.com/products/roccbox). It takes a special flour (Tipo 00 is what I use) so it doesn't char at 850F. The oven is certainly not cheap and there are cheaper alternatives, but I wanted something portable and more rugged-makes camping fun and we cook more than pizza. It get's me that nice charred bottom, but I typically tend to overcook the cheese.
I still continue to use my oven at times, especially when the weather isn't helping. The broiler is helpful there with a pizza stone.
No matter what I use, it's a fine dance to get things right. Sometimes it comes out great, especially when I give things a few days to cold-rise in the fridge. Usually something goes wrong, either too burnt, not fully cooked, or simply not enough pizza :)
Tipo 00 is not special but very common flour n. 405 (german system).
Many tutorials refer to this flour like there is something special inside that will make the pizza better...but there isn't.
I'm working on a self-hosted app to track family history and stories. I've got photos going back to the 20s and my dad seems to have so many stories I want to capture around them. I also had an uncle pass recently and finding photos of him for the services was so manual. I'd love to have some photo-tagging of sorts. Perhaps allow family to upload their stash of photos.
It's also giving me a fun chance to dive deeper into ASP.NET Core/React/TypeScript, something I work with professionally, but just haven't had the time to fiddle.
Very cool, thanks for the link to your notes repo. I share your pain with a horrible memory. I may very well start taking notes and storing it similarly to how you've done it.
This is exciting technology! My father in-law is a trucker, although nearly retired. He's fascinated by the developments made by you guys.
I'm not entirely familiar with the industry and day-to-day of a trucker, but I'd imagine you'd need some "on the ground" personnel, at least initially, to perform tasks such as fueling on long hauls.
Aside from this, it'd be interesting to see how quickly you can go coast-to-coast without a human needing a break/sleep.
With regards to fueling, there are a good amount of fuel stops around the country that will do "concierge" services for fueling up the truck, giving it a wash, etc. There's some infrastructure in place for when we need to get there.
Interesting stuff. I'll certainly tell him about this. He's been talking about retirement for some time (early-to-mid 60's) but he's a workaholic like my own father. He's always had a challenging time finding trucking jobs that are local in the Vermont area, but should an opportunity arise where he can drive anywhere closer to home, I think his ears will perk up.
I've only flown 12 hours in a traditional aircraft (piper warrior iii), but there's certainly a few things I'd imagine a pilot would want to know before taking off in something traditional (oil pressure, manifold, switching fuel takes, checking fuel quality, etc.). Maybe just enough training in a traditional aircraft for a few extra hours to be rated properly.
I'm certainly excited for the possibility for electric aircraft, hopefully in my lifetime. Less maintenance, less things to go wrong, cheaper, (quieter/less vibration?) etc.
