Re:RediSearch – Redis Powered Search Engine on Thursday July 09, 2020 @03:02PM (#23783763)
I'm just getting ready to push instant search as a major feature on a client's web application, as both public-facing & admin-side. The MeiliSearch team has been great in terms of communication regarding issues, new features, the roadmap, etc. They're also moving quickly, constantly adding new functionality that has been useful as I've been working on the integration.

Depending on what you're planning on using it for, make sure to review the documentation, and check the GitHub issues/discussions. For example, I've had to use workarounds to handle some lacking auth/permissions support, but they're currently working on improving it.

Best part by far is the performance. And memory requirements is completely reasonable, depending on the size of the database.

I second this.

It's hard to know without seeing what you eat, but are you sure it's enough? Have you tried tracking a few days to see if you're hitting high enough calories? I'm really stuffing myself at night.. and from others I've talked to, it's very easy for them to under-eat.
Re:A Guide to Intermittent Fasting on Monday July 24, 2017 @09:33PM (#14844364)
I've cycled through many methods of eating, trying to find an optimal diet to pair with heavy weight training for 6-7 days a week.. while at the same time keeping my weight more or less the same (with only slight fluctuations).

Intermittent fasting (or more specifically, following a loose version of the Renegade Diet) is where I landed.. and have been able to keep my weight steady while still making strength gains. In my opinion, it's a good choice who have a hard time controlling their food intake without the hassle of counting calories and/or macros. This way, rules are set, and then can look forward to ~4 hours of eating without restriction. I've pushed this feeding window to the limit, and to gain significant amounts of weight week over week, I basically had to eat until I physically sick for multiple days.

I've also had blood work done, with everything being normal since I started over a year ago.

In my opinion, napping becomes more essential with hard training. Even with sleeping well every night, I still find myself napping almost daily.

I personally use the Page Monitor chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-monitor/pemhg...

It also has Selector functionality (in addition to full-page monitoring), which let's you explicitly choose which elements on the page to monitor for changes.

Just a small issue I noticed on the landing page, you're including the "bootstrap.js" file twice.

Works very well. And nice touch on the auto-updating pagination.

I usually stream AH.FM. Lots of live progressive/trance sets.

Sounded like a great replacement for my X201, until I saw that there's no TrackPoint. Disappointing. After some reading, it sounds like they're only included on the ThinkPad series. I've been quite dependent on the precision, and don't bother with a mouse or touchpad anymore.

I hope this doesn't get worse, because I'm seeing quite a few connection failures between various instances set up in this region.

I'll second this. I've been a paid user for years now.

Re:Focusing on the next Linux client on Wednesday June 15, 2011 @02:05PM (#2658299)
Balsamiq Mockups has worked perfectly fine for over two years on my Ubuntu install.
I've done this a few times in other countries, such as Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia. I'm interested in Guatamala as a future possibility, but I don't know much about it.

If you have some free time, can you give a run-down of your experience so far?

If fezzi is as immature as myself, then it has nothing to do with being too generic.
Re:Poll: What language/framework do you hack in? on Sunday April 10, 2011 @12:34PM (#2429785)
PHP/Lithium

Previously PHP/CakePHP, but really feeling the 5.3+ focus in Lithium.

Re:Poll: What language do you use primarily? on Monday March 21, 2011 @01:12PM (#2350589)
I started with PHP however many years ago and I feel that it hasn't gone stale yet. Each new major version is enough to keep me excited about continuing to use it.

It's important to stay open to other languages of course, but I think that you should use what keeps your excited about development.

PRS-505 here. You don't find the 5" screen too small? For books with proper zoom text re-formatting, not an issue at all. But otherwise, I find myself complaining even with the larger screen.
