At $lastJob I did stool or standing at a workbench, and never had any back problems. At $currentJob I'm sitting in a regular office chair at a desk my back and shoulder are consistently bothering me.

I've tried standing and it gives me nothing but leg/back problems despite trying all the hints about it all over the internet.

TBH, I don't actually have a problem with sitting in a chair right now, but I also don't keep a good posture and I worry about how that will cause me problems in the future.

A chair that constricts movement instead of encouraging and supporting it is probably not for you.

The classic Aeron encourages movement on top of everything else, but if your company is the kind to cheap out and buy something whatever, then I guess a stool might be an improvement.

You don't need metadata if you're using an already-trained model!

When I'm at Starbucks. It's fine. Basically the most important posture technique is don't be a fat gently caress. Second is to sit in a bunch of different positions so all your bad postures get averaged out, as if you're a human tourbillon.

Firstly as a sanity check you say you run ./launch and it works, but the crontab is calling launch.sh - it's probably just a typo but never hurts to check.

The most likely thing is it's working fine but the log file isn't where you expect it - you don't specify a path so it will be wherever the working directory of cron is, not where the script is. Check /home/pi to see if the logs have been created there.

Bit of a late reply but thank you so much. By chance I ssh'd into my Raspberry Pi and did an ls on the home directory and there were the file outputs. Glad I didn't have to hunt too far.

Is adding "cd /var/www/your_script_directory" the best way to deal with this?

Anyone know how the order/precedence of a reference in c# works?

I will elaborate :)

We have a software product which uses the standard .NET library's System.Collections.Generic and System.Linq, the class references them by the using statement at the top.

For some strange reason, which is the source of my confusion, when we use this 3rd party dll, depending on which machine we try to build the solution on Visual Studio (2017) sometimes chooses the method in the 3rd party DLL instead of what we have explicitly referenced in the class! This makes the solution fail to build because the arguments are different. The method we are having a problem is 'OrderBy' which exists in LINQ and Collections and the 3rd party reference!

What we cant work out is how the gently caress it decides which one to use, we can make it use the right one (the windows library) by zapping the reference to the 3rd party one in the solution, but we do need the reference at some points.

I plain cant work out why Visual Studio would even attempt to use that 3rd partys method in the class, it isnt mentioned in a using statement. Its very weird.

There must be some way to order the choice.

Maybe I just haven't wrapped my head around how the GAC works :(

Would something like Balsamiq be helpful? You could use it to make some UI mockups. They have a free online flash (:barf:) tool that should be good enough to come up with something.

Something like draw.io might be enough to get things done. You can all make updates to the file, but it doesn't support simultaneous editing where you see the changes as the other person makes then. If you need real time, this says it can do it but I've never tried it.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Our pages will all use this set of colors. Each button will look like this. If there's a screen fade, it takes this many milliseconds." and so on.

Like, some sort of standardized way of describing the design in a text document. We'll still need to draw the layout, of course, but I'd like it to look consistent between each page and I figured a text document would help.

I'm not sure if this is a programming question or a 3D modeling question, or an autocad question. I'm working on an AR app, and I need to come up with a way to divide the top of the head into an even grid. Once I have the points measured I'll import them into OpenGL, but I need some way to trace the grid onto the curves of a head. However, I don't know of any programs that will do everything I need. Blender can help trace the lines, but doesn't seem to provide a way to segment up the lines by, for example, 10% in order to draw an even grid. Eyeballing it won't really work, it needs to be precise. Is there anything out there with this kind of 3D Bezier curve support?

Mr Shiny Pants
Nov 12, 2012
Usually they have scripting support ( 3dsmax has Max Script, I think Blender has regular Python I think ) You could draw the curve and refine it with vertices every 10% right?

I think 3ds Max has something like this out of the box, where you loft over a spline and put in a shape every "step" which is a percentage of the total path length.

This is barely programming but hopefully a question in the general thread is merited.

My wife was trained in a career program focusing on SQL and is in her first job as a data analyst. However, it's a big retail company and they use a bunch of lovely Access DBs to do a lot of their work. Migrating them to a proper SQL DB is a non-starter. What she's looking for is a code environment that color-codes parts of queries and other SQL/Access language bits as she goes just for organization's sake, a la in SQL Server Management Studio or the Powershell ISE or other third-party programs.

Does such an application exist?

Like http://fieldeffect.info/wp/access-sql-editor-documentation/ or is that too much more than just syntax highlighting?

Oh and you should be able to 'connect to' an access file with LINQPad which is insanely good for when you want to do string manipulation on a database without trying to express it in SQL-ees

Thanks for the suggestion, I've been meaning to look at F# forever but I really want to play around with macros.
"To JavaScript" compilation is certainly nice to have, but I'm not particularly afraid of writing bare bones JS. If ClojureScript is good enough maybe that will nudge me towards Clojure.

If you want a functional language that compiles to JS, just use Elm

mystes

The elm architecture gets really annoying really fast as your project gets bigger though.

There are other functional approaches that are more composable and have less boilerplate but they're a lot more complicated and have much worse documentation and tooling then elm.

I honestly think plain react + typescript is the best approach at the moment. I would also like something using a real functional language, but it's just really not worth it right now.

I mean, when I was messing around with it my project wasn't that big either, but it got increasingly annoying dealing with all the state being lumped together. Once I wanted to have stuff like multiple different screens it seemed like I either had to start nesting the model really deeply (which is insanely verbose in elm since it doesn't have lenses) or let it get ridiculously complicated.

Also if you have a form, for each element you have to add stuff to your view, and a new option to your msg type, add a case to handle it etc. There is a ton of boilerplate.

As far as I can tell, there's no good way to break any of this stuff into its own component or anything, so you end up with a huge monolithic model, update function etc., and it gets really hard to find stuff and keep track of anything.

Also, it's pretty annoying to try to talk to JavaScript through the ports system.

When I started it seemed neat, but everything got extremely verbose and complicated. I can't imagine using it for anything bigger than a simple toy project.

Also the JSON parsing is pretty much the worst thing ever.

Hmm, I guess I need to get off my rear end and try to make something more complicated with Elm because I outright avoided ports and JSON parsing when I was dinking around with it :v:

Come to think of it, maybe I should try to make a full app+UI in some other functional language+framework for comparison's sake, but ugh :effort:
