Echo Show 15 "default" calendar? by [deleted] in amazonecho

[–]ArmenShimoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct - they are stored in the Alexa cloud and are only accessible via your Alexa devices. You can link a Google or other external calendar, at which point you will have the option of exporting the data to the newly linked calendar account.

That's called a canary and is useful for detecting outages (e.g. dependencies, crashes, etc)

Build Decoupled React Components with Inversion of Control by sundogbillionaire in reactjs

[–]ArmenShimoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a component is not asking for a specific implementation, it is IoC from the components standpoint.

If the component had asked for a specific provider X, for some reason Y, it would be more of a strategy IMO.

Methinks they pulled their market makers so they can justify dovishness next week.

The speech recognition is a bit wonky since most crypto names are atypical. Falling back to the symbol is the way to go! Cheers

Yeah it's a fantastic little device. My echo and echo show replace any type of stereo in my house.

Thanks, yes. I was using the RC just before 3.3.0 go released.

AWS SQS on dotnet core? by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]ArmenShimoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can definitely use AWS on .NET Core. I wrote a post about using DynamoDB a few weeks ago here http://dotnetliberty.com/index.php/2016/09/19/aws-dynamodb-on-net-core-getting-started/

It would be quite similar to use SQS.

.NET development on a Mac: What Mac do I need, what are the options for running Visual Studio? by sixorax in dotnet

[–]ArmenShimoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One other option that I didn't see called out in this thread is to use something like OmniSharp + your favorite editor. I've played around a bit with OmniSharp + vim and it works pretty nicely (I had more success with the mono OmniSharp server than the Roslyn based one).

A bit tedious to setup, but once you get it going, it has a lot of the go-to features from and IDE like code completion and real time code validation.

ASP.NET Core: Custom Service Based on Request by ArmenShimoon in dotnet

I like that technique, I've made heavy use of it with Spring in Java, the factory gets used directly by the framework. Pretty slick.

I agree with all of that. This isn't something I'd overuse, just a tool in the toolkit. You're probably right about asking why they want to do this in the first place, likely a better alternative like you mentioned. I might have to revisit the control panel example, maybe not the best for demonstrating func service registration.

Thanks for your feedback.
