That will become the next “corporate team building”

I've got ~ 70 git repos to move from AWS code commit to Gitlab and need to tweak config files in each one for the new hosting environment, so this should definitely help

And here I am with 40 down and 16 up on the south coast costing £50/month.

One day we will have fibre…

I am curious if photoshop is better installed from the App Store instead of through creative cloud so all the extra apps aren’t added. Core sync drives me mad.

Out of curiosity, what would be the best way of displaying a rough distance for location on these style apps? (Round to nearest mile? Show a town name?)

Pulling the data from a formatted Google sheet would be amazing. I can share that with parents to backfill… I feel a side project coming on

We’ve ran our own mattermost server for almost 5 years. Sits alongside our hosting environment and not had any outages, except maintenance. Some staff moan it’s a “poor mans slack” but it works well, keeps everything in our platform and virtually free.

So I ignore their groans

Thank you for Dark Reader... this has made a world of difference

https://cloud.typesense.org/ A cloud hosted option.

Amazing. I still have one of those t-shirts in the wardrobe came into it’s own on endless zoom calls talking about site availability.

Agency life - anywhere between 5 and 50 things from dev, to code review to project managing. Just depends what’s in the pipeline that week.

Takes some practice to be able to flip between different platforms and languages quickly but you get used to it

Was days away from refitting my home out with £2,000 of gear. Any other recommendations for routers, wifi and security cameras?

Are there any mobile versions that are good and not in app purchases / time based?

I wouldn’t mind paying for a game but not a fan of the time based, gem collecting price models. Would rather pay for the app and just play

We've used Mattermost for the past few years with great success. Currently looking at moving into Teams - however stuck with no migration path for data into Teams (can export OK out of MM though).

Will be a shame to see MM go

I’m now looking at dropping cloudwatch and pushing everything into new relic.

We used to have our own in-house CMS built in .Net (at least 10 years ago) and it was a pain to maintain and provide updates for, however we replaced that with MODX - which was better and we helped in the community alot and pushed changes back. It was nice knowing every line of code was ours - and having all the expertise inhouse was a bonus, but hiring was a challenge as everyone starts from 0 experience

This was easier but we still had some clients that "wanted wordpress" even if it was a bad design decision, so we would then need to educate them on the why and see if we could change there opinion.

These days we pick and choose the right platform for the job, between Laravel/MODX/Wordpress/Magento/etc.

Being more flexible has it's own drawbacks too though.

I also did this a few years ago - voice controlled drone, had some keyboard based kill switches, unfortunately the drone is quite noisy so had to talk quite loudly to get a decent STT translation.

My 3 little ones have to take turns pressing the button, otherwise it gets messy... by the time they have all pressed the button it's time to cross

Interesting, I have been looking at unifi for some time - but it is quite the investment

We tend to do a 2 phase project plan. With a fixed $ for the initial scoping and finding out the actual objectives and then work on the $$$ after.

Has made our project timelines much more realistic and also a better end product for our client.

This depends on the use-case. We have recently moved away (slightly) from using MODX as our main CMS, because the clients we have picked up need less content management but more bespoke functionality and better performance so have used things like Laravel +Voyager.

They are all managing content, but in different ways

We have an immutable hosting platform with ansible, but some clients are hosted on their own boxes so we still end up logging into their hosting to sort out their issues (normally they have more problems than we do).

But they aren't interested in investing in more infrastructure when a single LNMP server does the job.

I currently have an issue with my iMac (also happened with the MBP) and iphone 8 (also happened with the previous iPhone 5S) that if I have bluetooth enabled on my phone and unlock it... my bluetooth mouse stops responding on the iMac. Interestingly my phone and iMac are not paired and nor is the mouse and phone.

Very frustrating

Notice our backups failing over the weekend. Set up a new account with backblaze and re-ran the backups.

It sounded to good to be true, fortunately we were still on the trial.

I used JSMPEG to process a live 360 camera feed and then a canvas to convert the output to the format to work with a google cardboard.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the output and speed of which the devices could decode and render the new output.

Would this not also depend on whether those companies make any changes to the software that would be worth contributing back?

There are millions of websites using MySQL and Postgres that make money but don't contribute back?

Add nginx/Apache to this list too? would cover most of the internet then.

I a similar scenario for my "Linux Foundation Certified Engineer" exam. Except I had to show 2 forms of photo ID for the examiner through my webcam and then put them the other side of the room so I couldn't use them as notes.

I was repeatedly told off for tapping on the table whilst problem solving. (A hard habit to break after years of doing it)

I've been using this site for the past few weeks whilst migrating, is an invaluable resource given the ec2 pricing isn't particularly easy to work out in the docs.

Why is it painful recovering from snapshots? (have just moved to AWS so have not experienced this yet)

This is buried in the faq as I was interested in this too: https://workplace.fb.com/faq/

How much does this cost? The pricing model is based on a monthly fee per active user
