escanda

Only available to US and Canada users sadly :(

I was a Wisp user for some time so I know the brand and it was a solid device overall. I looked into the UniFi products and the AP plus a controller is almost 100 euros more expensive than the Linksys device. I will look in the future for Ubiquiti devices but I think I am going to use a standard WiFi device (after all it is a one story flat not too big) and perhaps in the future I will buy a barebones so I can run pfsense with the current wifi device as a dumb AP.

This week due a wifi network intrusion I bought a Linksys Wrt3200acm. It looks good on paper and it has two boot partitions so it doesn't brick. I installed a device specific distribution recommended on the forums. Well, the 5ghz wifi range is total crap with Openwrt because the wifi driver is not as advanced as the one shipped by default and with the open source driver it can't transmit at full power.

I ditched Openwrt and installed back the stock firmware. But I am returning this device to Amazon tomorrow.

Which modern device do you recommend?

I have been feeding my dog Taste of the Wild for three months until she started vomiting. I took her to the vet and it seems it's because some food allergy. At the moment she's taking Hill's I/D (the one with the darker pink tone) and she's alright, she stopped vomiting and she's just okay.

I just talked to my vet and he's told me to give her Hill's I/D for one or two months to dicard other causes.

From what I gather here from other comments it seems big brands have resources other brands don't although the quality of the ingredients may be lower although they are set in the right amount.

I won't ever feed again my dog other food than big brands you can find on your vet. And of course I'll be feeding her food with grain.

Nobody remembers anymore SOAP it seems haha It's funny but all those new documentation and code generators for Rest were largely invented in SOAP messages before.

It doesn't make sense to send SOAP messages to browsers but I cringe every time I find myself with a vaguely documented Rest API when integrating systems.

In 500 years lobotomy devices will be rediscovered by some scholar, or many other psychiatry procedures that are performed up to date, as rituals.

Drilling someone's mind seems to be a common theme among societies.

Thousands of years of evolution to end up making something like that a part of the science corpus. Discouraging.

Pretty surprising stuff since here in Spain the unemployed make about 400 euros a month after they have ended their actual unemployment benefits. This last resort income is for two years. They must attend courses on job skills like cook, welder and so on though. All these courses are free.

It's not for life, but it takes out of poverty most people.

Thanks!

I am missing bigger screenshots though, I tried opening them separate but they are quite small.

This is my first "successfull" side project I have been working on and off on these last couple months. I would appreciate any feedback on UX experience. I am myself not too good on this regard and these last days I have been improving usability. For instance I have removed mandatory credit card on sign up and made it only neccessary after the trial has expired. I also tried to improve the copywriting of the app so it's more action oriented.

The stack is Java 1.8 + Spring Boot + JavaServerFaces. It's not a modern stack but pretty solid. I have deployed it on AWS Elastic BeansTalk and the database is hosted in AWS RDS (latest PostgreSQL).

EDITed: typo

I am working on a side project related to last mile delivery (shameless plug https://deliveryplannerapp.com ) and did try many routing libraries: open-vrp, or-tools from Google and Optaplanner.

Finally sticked to jsprit. Awesome api and sensible defaults. Highly recommended.

Deliveryplannerapp / https://deliveryplannerapp.com

Based in Gijón, Asturias - Spain

It's a SaaS app to optimize your last mile delivery parcels routes. Also customers can track their parcel.

Implemented in Java + Spring Boot + JSF and the actual planner algorithm in Common Lisp. The JSF part communicates with Common Lisp using Protocol Buffers over TCP sockets. The Common Lisp implementation is SBCL.

At the moment I just finished the planning algorithm and I have yet to get the tracking UI done before releasing to the public.

Next project will be a roster planning app, another SaaS, done entirely in Common Lisp using this excellent Weblocks fork: https://github.com/40ants/weblocks

Is it possible to run Window queries on SQLite? I think it's not! Firebird implements quite a few of these statements.

I integrated most commercial db vendors and we even ran queries on imported data in a HSQLDB database. Firebird is just way ahead of HSQLDB, and HSQLDB is similar to SQLite feature-wise.

I don't mean it would be cool to be able to export to Firebird. I mean that you might want to use Firebird as your underlying engine :)

I read the post and it's amazing you took the hard path. In regard to the product, first of all kudos, and second of all; you may want your users to be able to run analytical workflows. In which case embedding Firebird instead of SQLite might be cool. Just something I thought while reading the docs.

Not really. Beware you can be easily replaced in your new company without any compensation. Risk is often not accounted for. If you're a twenty something it's ok, but imagine you're a parent of 3 and you have to switch jobs every two years: unbearable.

> 5 years is a lot

There must be something wrong in this industry if 5 years is a lot. 5 years per company over a 40 years time spam yields 8 different companies.

That seems a lot to me.

FYI here in Spain you can possess drugs at your home - any illegal substance - because it is not illegal. You can't deal drugs nor carry them along with you on the street. You can grow for instance, as well, marijuana if it is for your own consumption. IMHO it's a pretty nice spot although people claim for a legal framework to grow weed as in some states of US or other countries.

I am assuming you are making an overstatement. Even then, you are really mislead if you really think someone who knows the basics of control structures is going to get a job in the industry.

Sounds great but perhaps it could be more laudable an initiative which could offset more profits, maybe not lowering too much the cost of the service, towards offering this people an educational path into more qualified jobs, so they don't get stuck in the same low field forever.

Don't want to be harsh, but it seems these days - even without taking into account the opinions made by those close to the company related to the article du jour, that it is quite widespread the notion of being a positive thing creating jobs at whichever price; all the time at the expense of the worker. Also it is a bit ironic reading the PR related to these internet/sharing economy companies, coloring the legal abyss as an opportunity for depressed sectors. But what amount of the demand is new and which is redirected to the same working class but with worse benefits?

That's kind of similar to oppose the employee status because eventually employers will meet candidates who don't demand the benefits required by a legal contract. That's why that is simply illegal.

Why not cap rents and property valuation? It seems Berlin has done the former [1]. But it's not the first city to do so, Vienna is known to have a large public rent market to counter balance private development greed.

In Spain, Andalucia (an area in the south of Spain), advocated during the political campaign to rent out thousands of flats owned by private banks, which in turn were bailed out with public money. Also Barcelona is going to implement measures to prevent the city to become an empty touristic resort with no much life beyond tourist apartments and hotels.

Although I've not yet set them up in production, there's a lot of heat these days using a fan out architecture through a message broker (i.e. Apache Kafka), and ingest that data and transform it into different data models through a stream processor (i.e. Apache Spark), to some file format which will be later be queried, and processed, into an even higher level data model; a much more layered approach than before, which makes sense from an economical point of view since data acquisition is more expensive than data processing and storage.

Here in Spain some private banks are making heavy use of those technologies to replace their reporting originally based on mainframe technology.

Perhaps a more business analyst oriented concept of the data lake may be the semantic layer [1]. This concept may differ from Fowler's in that is not so data oriented, and augments it, but underneath, some of the goals, as providing self service querying facilities to analysts, and making use of as much of the ingested data as possible, are similar.

I've found this article to be quite disproportionate.

For instance, assuming this kid committed suicide because of Diaspora and not because of something else, without any facts beside a weak wishful association; that's not serious.

It's kind of amusing the hysteric importance people give to media startups which is of no concern but for those involved, that is the authors and the media coverage.

Not only that, but I can only wander how the article's author managed to tie suicide, autism and then give us a brief merchandised solution, in such a few paragraphs with any hint of truth.

From what I understood this could attack systems using the MBR, non UEFI systems or using an hybrid approach, which is not encrypted nor protected, thus the program can rewrite it and it fits within its boundaries. As it is run before control is passed to the OS, the OS can't do anything at all. If the attacker has physical access and can write the MBR or if there's a privilege escalation good enough to grant itself access to the MBR, you're powned. But I couldn't tell if UEFI protects its partition table in some way.

You'd perfectly call, at least Spain's, economy weak as it is not growing because a correction period. Spain had to reform its subsidized industries, a considerable mass of low specialized workforce and a sub par infrastructure network in the 80s. It has succeed in most of them, but the welfare state has been paid taxing a housing bubble which has popped. So although it has stopped growing, in volume it's strong, and its past performance has been quite good considering where it started.

Indeed. A problem could be once knowledge becomes commoditized there won't be much left to walk the gap between middle class and upper class.

They've already been released with charges. One of them hosted the IRC server in his own house.

They were not involved in the Playstation network attack but on national Spanish attacks to the Minister of Culture and some other local websites.

He, at least these last two weeks between the cucumbers crisis, and now this misunderstanding on the PSN, the focus is diverted from bonds speculation :)

A lot of transactional systems are being written in Java already. So it's a matter of not being worth rewriting the working systems on production why Cobol is still alive.

Also a point concerning most language wars is that quite a few are initiated by people with interests on the contender; that is, the language authors, software vendors, etc.

The idea Google is waiting to have polished this release to open it so device creators don't ship it is flawed.

If such were their concern they would revoke the use of the Android trademark and manufacturers could have to call it by a different name avoiding the issue.
