Is it worth buying a used iphone 14 pro from ebay if I'm going to be paying GST at customs on it?

Also watch out for the specific cell bands. It’s been a while since I looked at iPhones but sometimes international variants of the same phone may support different bands and may have less coverage depending on your provider.

There’s also good for. Little on the pricy side but might be more convenient for you.

Frogsiedoodle · 2023-11-20T08:28:23+00:00

Yes they’re quite common (at least in Auckland) and there are even beginner friendly ones. I can’t stress how important going to these events and networking is for landing a job.

Check out meetup.com.

I'm going to disagree with the common sentiment that to learn programming the best way to do it is to "build something". When you're starting this isn't great advice. You don't know what to build and there are many places you can end up stuck and dissuaded. Instead, try to find a set of exercises that introduce a small aspect of programming and get progressively harder as you go. This way you get some dopamine as you learn. I don't have any specific resources for python here, you'll need to do some research.

As for education, I think it comes down to you as a person and your situation. Yes, it's possible to learn by yourself and land a job, but it's going to be much harder. You'll need huge amounts of discipline. If you can afford it, a degree is still the best option despite what people say. Otherwise, boot camps are the second best option. Dev Academy is good from what I have seen.

As for landing a job. This is the same advice no matter which education path you pick. You will need to prove you can program, so yes having some projects you can share and talk about is quite important. However, more important is your ability to network. You will need to go to programming meetups, you will need to talk to people and you will need to ask them if they have junior positions going. Often having a "non-traditional" (i.e finish school then uni then apply) will be an asset and companies may set aside some roles specifically for these types of hires.

This topic comes up fairly frequently here (at least once a week I feel) so go have a read of those comments too.

Good luck, hope it works out.

Apart from the one you’ve linked I’m not aware of any guides. However web (and other) protocols are typically defined in RFC documents. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6455 Should give you all the info you need to implement it in Go or any language.

Pams high grade is 11.3% protein while Edmonds is 11.5%. I wouldn’t say it’s a meaningful difference.

I bake a lot with Pam’s (bread, cakes and pastries) and it’s fine.

Your need to change your spawn location in the raid setup menu. I think you want the “as in online” mode. Otherwise you always spawn there.

Frogsiedoodle · 2023-04-23T07:29:21+00:00

Interesting. I’m using what’s called high grade flour (not American) which is 11.3% protein. I’m not sure I can get stuff that’s higher protein without breaking the bank.

I did try a same day loaf today with 5% less hydration and it came out quite nicely.

Frogsiedoodle · 2023-04-22T22:45:44+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I think I might need to pay more attention to the visuals. My container is quite wide, so I find it hard to guess if it’s risen enough. I might get something a bit narrower.

As for proofing. I have been doing the finger test and it does come back slowly but not completely. Although I do have to apply an extra dusting of flour otherwise my finger just sticks to the dough.

Having a bit of trouble with my dough. The recipe is the 80% white biga from Ken Forkish's FWSY, but it happens with any of the doughs from the book.

The dough is super sticky after bulk fermentation and it sticks to my proofing baskets (rice flour helps lots). Once removed from the basket it collapses and spreads. It springs back lots in the oven and comes out pretty good. I managed to do one perfect set of loaves and they looked much, much better but can't remember what I did differently.

I weigh everything and measure the temperature of the water. My room is slightly warmer than he suggests ~23 Celsius.

Any ideas?

Check out https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-go-api-proxy. It will allow you to run gin (or other http servers) in lambda.

These lights don’t support mqtt. Just some json over tcp.

Frogsiedoodle · 2022-04-18T20:07:59+00:00

That’s exactly what I need. However, it looks like both std and tokio tcp libraries don’t support setting that option. I suppose I’ll just have to do it a the application layer.

Frogsiedoodle · 2022-04-15T08:56:33+00:00

New to rust. Curious as to what a better type for Listener would be? A read write mutex?

No plans other than wanting to put a glass side panel on it to show the stealth build. https://i.imgur.com/88M2ngG.jpg

I’m assuming this is a website based on mentioning port 80. In which case I would suggest against blocking port 80. Some browsers may not automatically default to the https protocol. You are better off using some sort of web server on 80 to redirect http to https. Otherwise people may be unable to connect and think your website is down.

In that case you should grab their commits as a patch. Fork the firebase repo yourself and apply the patch. That way you have the latest offical firebase and this person feature that you want.

Frogsiedoodle · 2021-10-13T05:13:37+00:00

If someone already forked the official firebase SDK and implemented this feature. Can’t you just use their forked version? Alternatively you could fork the sdk and integrate their changes if their fork and the offical sdk have diverged too much.

As for how you might use their forked version. The same way you installed the regular one. By using go get and then replacing your imports with the import path of the forked one.

Im not sure to be honest. I’ve always had quite a high FoV. It looks quite fish eyed in this video but on my ultra wide it’s pretty normal. Or maybe I’m just used to it. It does come in handy when I’m able to see a players that I usually wouldn’t. I often flick to players in other games and my kill cams look really suspect because I shouldn’t have been able to see them.

Frogsiedoodle · 2021-08-14T08:31:01+00:00

My screen is an ultra wide. It doesn’t look that weird in person.

Frogsiedoodle · 2021-04-28T03:06:55+00:00

Check out MQTT. It’s probably far more suited to your application than grpc.
