ishikawa··on Ask HN: I'm just a programmer worried about climate change, how can I help?
You can search for SCADA companies as well as others working with analytics for wind power. For the second you will find more in Europe. Some names, to mention a few, are: Greenbyte, CNTRAL (not a typo), Inductive Automation, PCVue, Elipse Software, scadaHUB, Osisoft and Canary. Where are you and what do you do?
ishikawa··on Ask HN: What are the biggest causes for procrastination on software development?
Thanks! I didn't know about that. Now it is listed.
ishikawa··on Ask HN: How to get stateful behavior in a stateless distributed environment?
Really interesting, I did not know about this website but I just added it to my list. Thanks!
ishikawa··on Ask HN: What are the biggest causes for procrastination on software development?
Does anyone know why this post does not appear on "ask" section? I thought it was just needed to start it with "Ask HN:" on submit.
ishikawa··on Ask HN: What are the biggest causes for procrastination on software development?
thanks! my point on it is related to when you really get stuck, stopped maybe overthinking. Your first point is also one common I see, related to architectural doubt.
ishikawa··on PipelineDB 1.0 – High-Performance Time-Series Aggregation for PostgreSQL
Thank you, yes, it was helpful for me to understand the possibilities. I'll dig more into that.
ishikawa··on Ask HN: I'm just a programmer worried about climate change, how can I help?
Power companies have a great demand for software. By working with green companies you are helping the world get cleaner. By working with coal or gas-fired Power plants to manage, control and reduce their emissions, you are also helping the world. I have worked for the past 13 years doing that.
ishikawa··on PipelineDB 1.0 – High-Performance Time-Series Aggregation for PostgreSQL
Very interesting. Does it aggregate per day? If so, I wonder how it handles time-zone, I mean when to create a new day when you have agents on different time-zones.
ishikawa··on Single-family homes cover almost half of Los Angeles
IMHO what happened is that several cities appeared 150 years ago, they grew and are still growing. Suburbs have grown but there are few cases of cities starting to emerge in the last 40 years and that is also a way to grow.
ishikawa··on Apple can delete purchased movies from your library without telling you
The same is valid for my iPad 1. Several apps I bought for it I no longer can download again if I need, because of new OS versions or because they are no longer in the store. And believe me: my iPad 1 still works great and I have several educational apps that my toddler is now enjoying the same way his older brother did 6 years ago.
ishikawa··on The #1 Office Perk? Natural Light
Natural or not, the most important for me is not to get on my eyes or reflecting on the screen.
ishikawa··on Data visualisation, from 1987 to today
The topic is interesting but unfortunately the article lacks on "data visualisation" examples. Although interesting to know how it was before computers, more like art than data science, it would be good to see how it evolved on computers from 1987 to now.
ishikawa··on Building the Google Photos Web UI
This is by far my favorite Google product. I always wondered how they could do the scroll so fast. But for me the loading time is slow. I can scroll fast but I get into a blank area for a long time. The scroll should also work, on Android at least, when you do a search.
ishikawa··on RetroBSD: Unix for microcontrollers
This can be pretty interesting for inexpensive IoT and IIoT devices.
ishikawa··on Ask HN: Is it stupid to buy from domain resellers?
I'd go for .net or .org. It will have the same SEO value and it will look good on your promotions. It is all a matter of budget. Since you took your time to ask here, I guess budget matters.
ishikawa··on Ask HN: How do billionaires deal with their anxiety?
The question makes sense as we as humans will always be worried about something. If you don't have anything to worry, you will complain about the weather. Billionaires somehow found a way to waste their time worrying about really big problems. Their level of anxiety at first will be the same, but applied to bigger things. Others might take it as a game. It all depends of course. Some people get more anxious about facts, problems. Others about dealing with other people.
ishikawa··on Ask HN: Self-hosted alternative for Google Photos?
If you consider also photo tagging of people, places and things I don't think there is something similar.
ishikawa··on Brainstorming the Future of SCADA Systems
For years SCADA systems have lagged behind in technology when compared to other software areas, specially those targeting end users. With IoT this has to change.
ishikawa··on Rockwell Automation allies with PTC
Interesting move on the Industrial Internet scenario, looking for the convergence of IT and OT.
ishikawa··on Storage for Photographers, Part 2
I am a happy user of smugmug for a long time, because it was the best service I found that could handle 1080 videos. But I believe I'm a different kind of customer. I only want to have my personal backup. I don't want to sell photos. Google Photos has become very appealing as the interface is great to see the pictures and videos. But what I really don't like on Smugmug is that the Android App can't be trusted. It sometimes skip a lot of files and also don't handle duplicate files after the album has apparently more than 1000 files. The result is a messy album. I already reported this to support (by that time I did not realize the 1000 files issue, just the behavior) but I had no response. This is not a complain about the service that I really like. It is a feedback according to my behavior as a user. I am testing Amazon Cloud Drive and I'm really impressed. It lacks the great Google Interface but don't change the quality of my videos.
ishikawa··on Storage for Photographers, Part 2
I think it would really be great if services like Google Photos, Amazon Cloud Drive, Smugmug and others with unlimited paid plan for pictures and videos had self service stations on major tourist spots where people could easily transfer the data from SD cards and leave the place certain that all the content would be on their cloud account in less than 30 minutes. They could even receive a notification. This way people wouldn't need to worry about data storage while far from home. Too many backpackers have to carry a computer only because they have to unload their memory cards. And also Hotel connection are mostly very slow to upload hundreds of Gbs of pictures and videos.
