I was curious to try, so I followed the project's Makefile to create floppy.img and than ran it in a web x86 emulator. It worked! Grab the floppy.img file here: https://paste.c-net.org…

I started learning the saxophone at about the same age than you. I agree that daily practice changes everything in terms of progress — one trick (suggested by my teacher) is to always have the instrum…

I just clicked it in Chrome and Mobile Safari and they both bring me to a regular Google Sheets web page. I tried in incognito mode too and it was the same. What browser are you using?

Sorry for posting a second comment, but this just occurred to me: Mapbox serves all of its customers’ vector tiles through AWS CloudFront. Is this a possible case of Amazon seeing Mapbox’s traffic num…

Thank you, great observation! "Amazon Location supports open source versions of Mapbox GL JS (v1.13.0 or earlier)." Cheers
comment
Based on the recent license change by Mapbox[0], it means that Amazon Location's tutorial[1] suggesting to use Mapbox GL JS should be updated, right? i.e. using Amazon Location with the v2 Mapbox…

I just confirmed while testing vd, it does save to sqlite (select cols/rows, ctrl-s to save, name your file something.sqlite, done!) That's really awesome. I might write a plugin [0] to load…

You're referring to the salary negotiation service i.e. 10x Ascend? They can definitely help with offers outside of the U.S. As for the main agency (10x Management), they also have people from al…

At the time, I had co-founded a startup that had had an exit. The people represented by 10x are typically quite varied in the way that they get to do this kind of work. I've recommended freelance…

Hey, I see that Max commented here, but just in case it can be helpful, I was briefly quoted in the article and have also been represented by 10x since 2013. AMA..? 10x does stellar work - as Max said…

You don’t know how flustered I am at your response. Thank you so, so much...!

Bunnie (as you seem to be around here) — can the accel/gyro values be read/sampled? They’re listed under the “anti-tamper” category on crowdsupply so I wasn’t sure. Are there some specs on m…
