Same issue here. I updated and left my machine for a few days. Came back and was unresponsive. I had to use the 26.3.1 firmware and DFU restore. I have a 16" M2 Macbook.
I haven't had anything interesting to post over time, but glad I bought my domain years ago for various reasons (yikes, 2007 it looks like, 20 years?!). Will try to throw a PR up, young kids keep me busy.
I spent the better half of a decade trying to rid us of the business logic in the database. At some point, the hole was too deep as we had stored procedures calling each other, such a mess. I could go on and on but also found hiring difficult, we were a small team so a database-only developer was a hard pill to swallow.
I eventually left. We pivoted to a new product and leadership agreed the old system was legacy to remain untouched. Eventually this thinking changed and the old product was to be integrated with the new. Sprocs were back baby! My battle was lost, I was done.
Ahh! This is so cool!! Really neat idea, very slick.
Played around with the demo, very well done! I love the walk-through.
Small issue: I noticed you can click on multiple music/sounds and they start to stack with each playing over the other (using Windows/FireFox). That was the only issue I encountered during a quick play-through.
A few years back I gave the Roccbox a shot (https://us.gozney.com/products/roccbox). It takes a special flour (Tipo 00 is what I use) so it doesn't char at 850F. The oven is certainly not cheap and there are cheaper alternatives, but I wanted something portable and more rugged-makes camping fun and we cook more than pizza. It get's me that nice charred bottom, but I typically tend to overcook the cheese.
I still continue to use my oven at times, especially when the weather isn't helping. The broiler is helpful there with a pizza stone.
No matter what I use, it's a fine dance to get things right. Sometimes it comes out great, especially when I give things a few days to cold-rise in the fridge. Usually something goes wrong, either too burnt, not fully cooked, or simply not enough pizza :)
I'm working on a self-hosted app to track family history and stories. I've got photos going back to the 20s and my dad seems to have so many stories I want to capture around them. I also had an uncle pass recently and finding photos of him for the services was so manual. I'd love to have some photo-tagging of sorts. Perhaps allow family to upload their stash of photos.
It's also giving me a fun chance to dive deeper into ASP.NET Core/React/TypeScript, something I work with professionally, but just haven't had the time to fiddle.
Very cool, thanks for the link to your notes repo. I share your pain with a horrible memory. I may very well start taking notes and storing it similarly to how you've done it.
Interesting stuff. I'll certainly tell him about this. He's been talking about retirement for some time (early-to-mid 60's) but he's a workaholic like my own father. He's always had a challenging time finding trucking jobs that are local in the Vermont area, but should an opportunity arise where he can drive anywhere closer to home, I think his ears will perk up.
This is exciting technology! My father in-law is a trucker, although nearly retired. He's fascinated by the developments made by you guys.
I'm not entirely familiar with the industry and day-to-day of a trucker, but I'd imagine you'd need some "on the ground" personnel, at least initially, to perform tasks such as fueling on long hauls.
Aside from this, it'd be interesting to see how quickly you can go coast-to-coast without a human needing a break/sleep.
I've only flown 12 hours in a traditional aircraft (piper warrior iii), but there's certainly a few things I'd imagine a pilot would want to know before taking off in something traditional (oil pressure, manifold, switching fuel takes, checking fuel quality, etc.). Maybe just enough training in a traditional aircraft for a few extra hours to be rated properly.
I'm certainly excited for the possibility for electric aircraft, hopefully in my lifetime. Less maintenance, less things to go wrong, cheaper, (quieter/less vibration?) etc.

Ledgex | SQL Developer | Full-time | Boston area | Remote
We're looking for a SQL (MS-SQL) developer to assist with our backend. We started in 2010 and have a small close-knit team. Company is 100% remote in the Boston area and we'd prefer someone in the region (within 1-3 hours drive) to meetup bi-weekly in the city. We get together from time to time after hours. We may be getting a physical office at some point for meetups and for those who want to get out of the house.
Our system is ASP.NET based and hosted on Azure with the option for on-premise setups. We have one other SQL developer that you'd be working with along with the application/QA/and product team.
I have a small irrigation setup that works somewhat well for my needs. I have a small pond/waterfall pump inside a rain barrel that pushes a decent flow to my emitters that water my lettuce and cucumber plants. The pump inside the barrel is connected to an outdoor Z-Wave switch that is ultimately controlled by my SmartThings hub.
The main downside is it's currently manual and water is limited in the barrel. The rain barrel can only hold so much water and at times, I find my ZWave switch will turn off, then back on, which eventually drains the barrel if I'm away. I usually turn it on/off on hot nights when I'm home so I can monitor it.
Next summer I'll take a different approach with some of the ideas from this article. Perhaps use the rain barrel only if it's full (using sonar sensors that ping off the water level), but use the main house line as the primary.
That hacker/tinkerer in me wants to ultimately build a system that waters based on weather patterns/demands. I'll save that for next year.
I was surprised as well. This is also on the front page which is interesting given the target audience. In a strange way I find it fun, though a bit unusable.
I'm in the same boat. There are a ton of Boston meetups, but I live in the suburbs for many lifestyle reasons. The commute doesn't justify sticking around after hours when I have an hour and a half walk/train/drive home.
