There is an issue created in winget GitHub page suggesting to donate appget -https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/353
So this aircraft is more prone to stall and crash compared to other aircrafts after this update?

Now Windows 10 Has C, B, and D Updates. What Is Microsoft Smoking?

Re:A programmer trying to fix roof gutter overflow on Monday March 03, 2014 @11:20AM (#7334560)
Hey I agree with you that gutter guards will never stop accumulation of debris, it will just slow it down. Selection of cell size might be a good way to optimize it depending on the type of leaves getting on roof.

BTW gutter cleaning robot is really impressive to me. It's a much cleaner solution to the problem. Only worry I have about that is financial viability considering the robot might have to be water resistant, shock resistant, etc. Of course that'll change depending on the country.

Ya as I mentioned in the post it's nothing new. But what's discussed in the latter half of the post is why it is not available half way around the world from USA.

I wish I could correct the architecture, as I would rewrite a code if something goes wrong of this nature in a software I write. But unfortunately, it's not feasible at this point.

Yes that's the problem. It seems to be pretty common in developed countries. But such a simple thing is not common at all in this part of the world. That's why I think there is so much to do for entrepreneurs in this part of the world

Yup. Thanks for pointing that out. I couldn't find about the s-bend technology. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned in the blog post the lack of standards followed causes a great trouble adopting these technologies. Mostly used roof sheets in Sri Lanka are similar to what's there in my roof (~~~~ shaped)

Ya that's true, there is a design issue. The house was build around 20 years back. But it's not a great issue as it's supposed to get water from a small area of roof.
Re:How To Become Uber Productive While Working For Yourself on Friday January 31, 2014 @09:54AM (#7156898)
In my experience I tend to loose my productivity a lot when working from home for days. Going out 2-3 times a week helps me a lot to charge up, not necessary to work. But I think the idea of going out to work will only work for energy suckers, not for energy givers like my cofounder who loves working from home.

Creating something new and discussing it with similar type of people (people who create stuff) is a great way to improve in aspects like technology, strategy, etc. But need to make sure initial ideas are not carried away too much. Specially if the participants are not a subset of actual endusers of what you are doing.
