We store our software technical documentation along with the code in markdown files in the git repository - our definition of done requires that developers keep this documentation up to date.Often, documentation needs supporting diagrams and we don't really have a clear defined way on how keep our diagrams up to date. As a result, documentation in some repositories link to a gliffy diagram and...
A few years ago, following Google maps cycling directions me and a couple of friends on road bikes were led through muddy forest trails, old rail road tracks and green lanes on a London -> Paris <24hr attempt (we took 26hrs).
The difficulty with cycling directions is that there's not a 1 size fits all solution, a roadie needs smooth road but would prefer it quiet and scenic, a mountain biker would rather those trails we found and a commuter/hybrid would be fine on those in short bursts but probably prefer the speeds of the roads.
If I'm doing something of an "epic" route these days I'll spend a bit of time trying to find a suitable GPX that I can sync to my watch for directions - usually that'll come from Movescount, OS maps, Garmin or just someone's blog of a route. For most other things, Google maps works fine.
I'm someone who cherishes a little piece of solitude every day. I'd be much happier self sufficiently making my way to my place of work in the nice private bubble of a car (even if that means crawling at 3mph in traffic), listening to whatever music or podcast I enjoy, or just being able to think without many distractions, than having to jostle my way on public transport with no privacy or personal space.
(disclaimer: I cycle to work, not drive, though I'd rather walk the 3hrs it would take me than the hour on tube and/or busses)
All the processes and knowledge were in place to make sure all considerations were taken with our software with regards to security. But... all that good work and intention goes out the window when the marketing and analysis teams could pretty much, on a whim dump any old JS onto a production page via GTM. During my 18 months there, there were numerous issues (thankfully not security issues - at least that we know of) indroduced via this method inc a full outage of the customer onboarding journey.
I'm no elite athlete but I've been vegan 3 years. In those 3 years I've completed 2 Ironmans with no meat/eggs/dairy, no protein supplementation and no issues whatsoever.
"You can't out run a bad diet"
Rather than driving 20 minutes each way to the gym, just put on some shoes and run/walk from your front door. You've saved 40 minutes and a bunch of money. Plus, if your goal is to lose weight, you've a far more effective workout.
Walk/run/bike to work. I've completed 2 Ironman triathlons and 75% of my training was done on my commute (my shortest route to work is 8 miles but I can take different routes and make it as long as I want) with hardly any impact (other than exhaustion) on my personal or professional life.
How constant is the L2 point for the relay satellite's orbit? If I understand correctly, this is the "balance" point between the earth and sun's gravity. Does the moon's gravity affect this? If so the L2 point will shift as the moon moves towards and away from this point?
As the moon orbits the earth, presumably the relay satellite would stay put and not follow the moon in its orbit. This would mean that communication from the lander and rover to the satellite is only possible when the moon is in a particular position (between the earth and the sun), correct?
About 25yrs ago as a teenager and utterly obsessed with the supernatural and the unexplained, my family were on a fly drive holiday on the west coast of the US.
One night in a roadside motel in the Nevada desert, I was woken up by a strange, loud, rythmic, droning sound outside. Absolutely convinced that it was a UFO landing and terrified that if I moved or made a noise I'd be abducted, I laid still, sweating with my heart racing for hours until the sun came up.
Turned out to be a dodgy air conditioning unit.
I've a small webapp to show me my elevation based on my lat/lon. I built it with Google's API as I've used it before and it's what I know. It doesn't get much traffic so it's unlikely to ever cost much once my free credit expires but I'd like to explore other options.
What alternative (preferably free) services are there out there? I need to be able to pass lat/lon and get back the elevation above sea level of that point on earth.
Whenever the film comes up on Reddit I scan the comments and I've done a tiny bit of googling but it seems I'm in the minority with this opinion which I find strange since I can't fathom the interviewees are even close to genuine.
From the knowledge I gained in this, I was able to make a simple infinite scrolling game, package it up with cocoon and release it into the iOS and Android stores all within a day from my bed on a Sunday. It wasn't the best game ever but amazing to be able to get something out there so fast (I am a JS dev)
I've not done any game dev since but may use this jam as an excuse to take a stab at Phaser 3

Phaser is a great framework. I managed to conceive, write the game from scratch and have it in the app store within a day.
It's no longer on the iOS store as I didn't continue to pay my dev licence, but happy to share the play store link if anyone is interested.
As farmers work on the fields in northern France they regularly find artifacts from the war and just toss them aside as an annoyance.
While I'd love to see crypto disrupt the current financial system, it's just fun to be a part of the ride. I see this as play money. It's fun to track the price up and down.
It will have to do a repeat of the 2012-today run up for me to make huge money - something I'm not expecting - and unless it does this, I'll not be cashing out. If it happens then awesome, if it crashes tomorrow then I've spent a bit of money for a bit of added excitement in my day.
