A bit of a PSA... For anyone who relates to this very strongly, some people with extreme difficulty in forming positive habits have executive function disorders such as ADHD. This is a primary symptom and is often viewed as lack of willpower or laziness vs. a treatable condition. Forming habits under treatment is much more effective.
Debilitating procrastination can actually be issues with conscious control of attention/executive functions (ADHD being one of the main presentations of this). The other side of this is strong tendency to hyperfocus, whether on the right things or wrong things. Both occur without choice and are just different sides of the attention/behavior control problem.
Some developers don't notice this tendency because their default attention (not actual choice) just being drawn to productive activities like coding and liking it as well. But when that doesn't happen and you can't pull out of the procrastination loop, it can be very confusion and unpleasant experience.
I've lived there 20% time since 2009 have never heard of this system. People said the same thing to me about those pylons. They've since launched a "busway" system and are currently building a proper light rail MRT system. It should theoretically begin operation of one of the lines next year. Lots of good work being done now.
Some of what you say here reminds me of how a friend described his ADHD hyperfocus and extreme avoidance behaviors. Two sides of executive function issues. It may be worth doing an online ADHD assessment to see if there is a big easy solution you may be able to follow up on.
SEEKING WORK - Boston, MA or remote - full, part-time, recurring/pre-scheduled
I have 23 years of Linux experience and love automating everything. And I mean everything.
Senior DevOps / Linux Administration - Most companies like me for DevOps, but I am useful in other contexts like marketing automation/analytics, hardware, business IT infrastructure, embedded platforms.
Main skillsets: DevOps (ops focus), SRE, sysadmin, linux, network operations, python, server / embedded hardware
devops:
* Linux specialist
* MySQL & Postgres cluster admin
* tools and automation development in Python
* Chef / Ansible
* Cloud APIs - AWS, some Rackspace Cloud
* Infrastructure monitoring (Nagios, Netcool, many others), alerting and incident management
Occasional app developer and full stack web developer (Django, Django/DRF + React/React Native).
About me: My first job at 19 was at BBN in security & network operations, then on to develop and integrate monitoring tools for the global tier 1 NOC. Many years of experience in managing production systems. Sometimes a python developer. Today I run and automate my way out of very part of my job at a small language course company I co-founded.
This update adds a camera connector. The GPIO header is still not populated on the board. This is actually great for those who plan on soldering different kinds of connectors (right angle, female, bottom-mounted, etc)
Funny thing, 37 minutes after receiving the first one, i received another notification on a secondary e-mail (also a gmail account) that is used for a toy project's free UserVoice account and is totally unrelated to the first one).
As someone who records a lot of different amateur voice people daily for language courses, I'd have to disagree with some of this.
It's generally an OK guide, but I would suggest the mic recommendations are incorrect. I'd like to see an AT2020 USB in the mid-range and Heil PR-40 on the higher end. It's cheaper and significantly better sound. I own the H4N for mobile recording, but the quality really doesn't come close to a proper broadcast mic like Shure SM7B or the Heil. You can hear the Heil from a lot of pro podcasters and the SM7B on Marc Maron's WTF and a lot of radio hosts.
It also glosses over the use of mic arms, pop filters in getting pro sound. It's geared towards on-the-go recording and the quality will be nothing like a studio result.
I think Hanselman does a lot of his recording outside of a dedicated studio these days. In studio recording of podcasts is a whole nother level of commitment and cost.
Sure! But the two mics I mentioned don't require a studio environment to sound good. Almost any reasonable room will do. They can be had for around the same price as the setup mentioned in the article.
Sound quality is king in podcasting! Anyone thinking of doing a solo podcast from home/office would be better steered towards something like the AT2020 for mid range or PR-40 or SM7B for a comparably equal investment compared to the mobile gear mentioned in the article.
I wasn't clear. I was responding to "nothing like studio quality".
I listen to a fair amount podcasts while I drive. My belief is that though poor sound quality can turn listeners away, poor content will insure that there are few listeners or none. I am willing to put up with sound quality issues for good content. I'll skip episodes with mediocre content.
To clarify the title, the findings are related to liquid resin-based methods vs. the much more common FDM method (usually extruded plastic filament) method.
The latter is usually ABS or PLA plastic, both of which are as theoretically safe as any other plastic in your home. PLA is a bioplastic and is actually compostable.
The resins, on the other hand, are pretty nasty and require gloves to work with. The safety data sheets are pretty serious and even mention that they are dangerous to aquatic life.
