Not an option. There is an association and this a new development. I'm just looking to for the most affordable and hands free maintenance aside from hiring out a company to do it which I still might do.

Has anyone had decent results with these mowers (any brand)? I'm in the process of building a house that's going to have a pretty simple yard and I've considering picking one of these up.

They are also substantially more expensive than the typical electric mowers you push yourself but if it saves x hours per week/month could be worth it. I just don't want to end up with an expensive paperweight and end up having to buy another mower anyways.

Agreed, it would be preferable if you could turn it off altogether and just get a wide variety of popular posts as that seems to match the title of 'explore' more closely. I'm into lifting but my explore has turned into a flood of fit instagram models.

No, you'd have to be logged in with the CLI as a heroku user that has privileges to said database.

> Looka has also raised around $7 million in funding, with a $900,000 seed round and $6 million Series A in November 2018.

That seems like excessive funding for what this company is. A neat little tool he could have solely owned and kept majority of the profits. Really curious to why this webapp required so many employees to run. Rebrand was obviously a disaster LogoJoy was a great name that didn't require a total rebrand just for wanting to include additional assets, I'm not even sure what Looka is.

How does Firefox Lockwise compare to 1Password and how does the ad/tracking protection compare to using Chrome with uBlock Origin?

I do like how Firefox you can set to never auto play audio or video but the chrome flag does not seem to prevent that. Haven't really given Firefox a chance in easier and am pretty married to Chrome (especially with switching profiles between work, personal that works very well).

Another strong recommendation for Schwab. The customer service has been stellar for years. I do hope they invest more into their UI and mobile app. That's the only thing that's slightly lacking. It's usable though. I've tried Simple and other "tech" banks and they've been terrible in comparison. Simple was a disaster there was a period where people couldn't login to access their accounts multiple times over a week because of their 2FA system having issues.

You know what the response was? Sorry you're locked out, we can't do anything about it, wait a few days.

Good point. It's an app that's got a life left to it. Not much in the way of changes but it's a pretty critical piece of software. Cloned a copy, moving it to 5.2 and 6.0. Had to update ruby to 2.5.1. Looks like postgresql (which I use heavily) is also making comments about migrating data. This is not seamless. Lots of issues not to mention `rails app:update` basically wipes out the files, you go back in replace with needed info via diff, more errors. I thought that was supposed to alleviate that.

If this works I'm hoping at least pushing to Heroku will handle that part. Heroku notes the gem file and makes the required updates.

That's the other concern, right now all the gems play nice together without issue. It's possible that some of the older gems are supported under 5.x and haven't made the required changes for 6.0.

Running two production applications on 5.1.5. It works swimmingly and I rarely need to touch it except for some additional feature requests or tweaks.

Is it worth the headache of upgrading to 6.0? I'm looking at the change log and deprecations and nothing stands out as an issue but I think I still need to do 5.1.5 to 5.2 then to 6.0. Not to mention I'm not going to utilize any of the new upgrades.

New startups or small businesses. You're right they want control but they can't afford tons of money to sink into iterations with a professional designer (also what makes a professional designer nowadays?). With this they get to see tons of variants of a logo that feels right to them with ease to make adjustments. Yes, they might be a bit soulless but it'll look sleek if you have a decent eye for design and application. Always ask yourself and test it with will this look good on a website, business card, shirt, whatever you need.

I'd argue these little generators can produce better looking mathematically sound logos that are cheaper than dealing with a back and forth when you hire someone from upwork, 99, fiverr, your local college student.

Yelp is terrible to work with. From my personal experience they've crossed over into spam territory. They will call, email, leave lengthy voicemails (with rather extortionist language), non-stop trying to get you to pay for their premium services.

Really slimy. I'm not one to advocate for big G but hoping them or Apple makes them irrelevant.

Another recommendation for Magnet. Using an ultrawide with my MBP it makes snapping windows around the screen really smooth and a key part of the workflow.

As did I and had nightmares of years past when converting a cold fusion application into a fresh rails application and migrating the database mysql to postgres. Basically, just found out functionality and redid everything. Very satisfying at the end but man that was a chore.

This is pretty awful. A bad assumption to make was that by turning off all activity monitoring this would have also been stopped. You can delete these items by deleting the email itself but that's a ridiculous burden to put on the end user. Oh, you don't want us to know you spent hundreds of dollars on baseball tickets? Better delete the email invoices.

You might want to consider adding some form of moderation. Viewed this at work and some very classic nsfw images were uploaded instead of workstations.

Thanks, yeah I just did some testing locally and made the upgrade on Heroku (the documentation was rock solid).

Running 10.7 and 10.6 on two production applications with Heroku. Thinking about moving to 11 to ensure support for the long run as I rarely need to touch this and it's very stable but would like to minimize any headaches in the future.

Any complications or hiccups I need to worry about moving from 10 to 11?

Per Heroku Docs: By supporting at least 3 major versions, users are required to upgrade roughly once every three years. However, you can upgrade your database at any point to gain the benefits of the latest version.

This is really cool and as a software guy the electrical engineering component is a huge black box to me. Circuit boards all connected up and getting a physical device to handle lithium ion batteries to properly charge and not blow up is beautiful. He does a great job with pictures, videos, and giving detail at both a high level and semi-in-depth explanations really made it shine.

Is there anyone that does similar type of posts? Or even a follow along type of deal to get feet wet with actually building devices (maybe it includes a list of items to buy first)? Don't get me wrong I love writing software but showing someone something you physically made as opposed to sending a link to a website seems so much more satisfying.

It would really neat if they also included all the targeting options that were used on the ads as well. Currently you can gather that by seeing age, gender, and location but specific groups, etc that were used aren't available.

Marcus is solid. Moved money over there myself. There isn't much to it, no bells and whistles but it's straight interest at a reasonable rate (compared to the others) which many people are looking for. They have CD options as well. Also note this one is FDIC insured and is a true savings account unlike others which often are SIPC insured money market funds. Bonus the site is really nice because it's not a jumbled mess like most bank sites. It's super simple and shows me all I need to know $ and %.

I personally haven't dealt with their support team so I can't speak on how reliable that is compared to the other big banks.

Agreed with jonknee. Don't dismiss it because of the Goldman Sachs name (if anything, I feel more comfortable having a name like this handling financial matters).

Every time I've thought about moving away from Namecheap to something else I've remembered those once in a blue moon times I've actually needed to reach out to support for mission critical type of events. The support I've received has been absolutely stellar. Above and beyond what I would have expected to be their scope of service. I don't know any other providers I hold as highly in support, especially anything coming from a tech company.

My main gripe is that I wish they would include free SSL and they give their UI some love but that's minor as I only access it on certain occasions.

I also work on a Rails system. It does the job and the nice part about it is whenever I need to make tweaks I can easily dive into the code and implement said feature quite quickly. There are a few services I wrote that have a bit of overhead but that's my fault - these typically go untouched as they are part of the backbone. I run this system on two different instances and I will say the difference between a few thousand records and a few million records is noticeable. There isn't any memory leaks that I could detect or n + 1 queries, so I've kind of thrown my hands up. Most importantly though, it's been super reliable. I'll take the slight delay for robustness.

Recently I went the other way and built something with Flask because I felt I only needed something tiny (plus python and ruby are both friendly to read) and kept hearing the negatives about monoliths. It started out refreshing because I only added in what I needed but eventually this started to get a bit annoying as it grew, I felt I was rewriting the wheel often, and I missed the organization and forced convention of Rails. Not to mention gems seemed to have more support and often were more recently updated compared to flask imports. I now want to convert this over to a Rails application.

I think a lot goes into picking what to use, size of team, size of users being served, verasility, and development productivity. It's not always only performance at massive scale (you may never need to handle the traffic Twitter does and if you do I think you're doing pretty well and can weather that storm).

Pricing seems fair though. I’d pay 1.99 for an image I needed to use this for commercial use. To do this manually might take a tad longer and may not come out as nice. I haven’t tried it yet but if it’s anything like the examples seems great.

I'd hear that all the time too but satellites do play a role. I'm just unsure exactly how they fit in.

Can you speak more to this? Similar situation. Interested in a Tesla but live in an apartment without a station but during winter have well below freezing and sub zero temps. Seems difficult.

There is still volatility, even though they are bonds it's a bit different from a straight cash account that Wealthfront offers. I've used SS and it's been lackluster.

Here is to hoping this pushes Betterment to offer the same. FDIC and 2%+.

Seems very similar to Heroku's model at that price. Which is actually pretty fair. I'm so happy to see DO doing this because there is always part of me worried that if Heroku were to go out of business, change their pricing model, start dipping in reliability that I'd be stuck spending a bunch more hours on dev ops instead of focusing on development.

More quality competition is great to keep Heroku on their toes (though I've had nothing but love for them).

Fired up on a local postgres database using the mac application. It works quite well. Every so often I'll be hit up to chop up data in a very specific way which requires me to write some ad-hoc SQL but giving this ability to end users and saving dashboards seems very useful. I love seeing things like this be built and pricing is spot on. Free and no tiers. Hope to see this succeed.

Tempted to integrate this into a production rails application with a simple link at the top for users to be able to service themselves. I'll need to see if I can somehow link logins so they don't have to login to both the application and the metabase instance but seems like a fun project.
