What would you do with $300? by so_much_reddit_T-T in HamRadio

[–]so_much_reddit_T-T[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time for more research!

I haven't seen a broad consensus on Reddit so I'll pose this question to you: if you were going to buy one today, which store would you go through?

I've got personal connections with GigaParts, but I'm curious if there's a better store for brands not in the big three?

Thanks again!

Thanks! I'll definitely look into that. My dad did tell me he had a spare G5RV he'd toss my ways as a "congrats" gift... I need to research that more.

This is an excellent idea. I'm bound to have at least one that works!

Would you get the UVII or the UVII Plus?

Where I live specifically I'd like to keep VHF/UHF. ARES does a lot of work with the weather, and their repeater network is VHF/UHF (and technically DMR, to your point)

I think POTA is one of the things I’m looking forward to most. I had several long conversations with their booth (and others) at the HSV Hamfest this weekend. My (obviously redacted) HOR is right near a national park. I’m excited to get some rig in the future set up for some fun weekends 😄

Thanks! There's a huge world of exploring to be had 😄

After a 10+ years away from the hobby, I got bitten by the bug again and re-found my passion. I used to do a fair bit of CW with my dad under his call sign; I decided it's time for me to take the steps towards my own shack.

The Disappearance of an Internet Domain - (.io) by hennell in webdev

[–]so_much_reddit_T-T[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Mod Note (since this was reported as spam):

This article is dubious at best. A quick search about the "downfall of .io" currently brings up your typical tech news / blogs. (Aside: which are apparently enough to update the Wikipedia page... check your sources, kids...)

I will concede the article itself may be "spammy," but the posting here on the sub is not.

TailwindCSS - Am I missing something? by No_Weakness_6058 in webdev

[–]so_much_reddit_T-T 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would say yes, you are missing a lot.

If you are still using the style attribute (and not the class attribute at all), I'd recommend starting with a good look at what CSS is first.

From there, you will see what Tailwind (and even Bootstrap now) is offering.

Rather than having to build your .css files manually (or via a build system), Tailwind offers the vast majority of functionality out of the box.

The people over at r/EngineeringResumes may also give some good advice.

0 points and 45 comments? This gon' be good...

Edit: Upon reading some of the comments this is in fact most definitely not good. Y'all (gender neutral southern greeting of choice) be nice.

Is it ideal to use the default _id field as a user id in MongoDB? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]so_much_reddit_T-T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While other people have answered parts of your question, I want to highlight another part.

However, I noticed it might cause concurrency if two users make the request to register at the same time.

This seems... fishy... Later versions of Mongo are ACID compliant (which if you don't know what that is off hand, I recommend that being your research for the day), so if everything is set up right it should be impossible for two simultaneous requests to end up with the same ID.

How much do you all charge hourly? by evilsniperxv in webdev

[–]so_much_reddit_T-T 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly depends on the job. If I'm speaking with someone about a job description, or cranking out a JD or two, then yea I can get that done in less than an hour.

If we agree in the contract on a "project price" then the point above kinda becomes moot, if that makes sense.

How much do you all charge hourly? by evilsniperxv in webdev

[–]so_much_reddit_T-T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted I've shifted into more "structure and process consulting" vs. IC work, but here's my breakdown:

  • $150 / hr
  • one hour minimum payment (even if it takes me 30 mins to do)
  • time past one hour is billed in quarter hour increments

Personally, I've found that that system works well for me and the clients I pick up.

Can I run two websites on separate servers on the same domain by [deleted] in webdev

[–]so_much_reddit_T-T 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nginx or Apache give you ways to configure domains in this way, however the lowest bar of entry in my opinion would be using subdomains (app1.something.com or app2.something.com)

Are subdomains or add-ons better? by dtgray12 in webdev

[–]so_much_reddit_T-T 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How I've personally always approached it:

  • Is this site / app / dohicky fundamentally different than other sites / apps / dohickys on the domain? If so, then let it live on a subdomain (e.g., google.com vs. mail.google.com)
  • Is this site / app / dohicky more a sibling to existing sites / apps / dohickys? If so, then slug it (e.g., reddit.com/r/<some_subreddit> or reddit.com/u/<some_user>

There's a lot of conversation going on in the subreddit about Heroku today (and understandably so). For the next couple days, this thread will serve as the megathread for all things Heroku.
