In Germany we have public, non-commercial television channels for kids like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KiKa

Clever approach to get stars.

Unless you move into one of the bigger cities like Berlin, Hamburg or Munich you will be out of luck if you don't speak German. And especially if we are talking about blue collar jobs.

One of my coworkers proposed a better way to utilize Strava's data for finding good routes: https://medium.com/@vovabilonenko/strava-activities-map-6cbc...

When I was young I have been told that your rent should not more than 1/3 of your income. This was meant as a rule of thumb. Also this would apply for the majority of people. If you make 10 million a year and pay 5 million on rent you probably still have enough left to get by.

What's the benefit over Flask (which is part of Eve anyhow)?

Isn't that working on the Mac ootb as well? If I install numpy it links it against https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accelerate which is very close to MKL/OpenBLAS performance.

If you need more background or a write up, let me know (I submitted my email address too).

I submitted my SolarPi project: http://solarpi.tafkas.net

I like them. :)

I can only speak for the newspaper in my country. I never had a newspaper which had ads that

- track my reading habits - were blinking trying to catch my attention - started played videos I didn't want to see

If a news website wants to make money off advertising, just host simple images on your own sever. No need to load stuff from shady companies which try to grab as much information as possible.

I am doing something similar at my apartment:

I built a tool that monitors a solar panel installation:

Feedback is very welcome.

Pukka was one of the first apps I bought on the mac. Thank you.

We also recently set-up an internal Gollum wiki. Are there any css stylesheets available online somewhere that make it a bit prettier than the default?

Good post. I use one of Jetbrains IDEs and I am big fan of their auto-formatting. You select the dialect of your SQL (or connect it to the data source) and the IDE almost formats it ideally. Sometimes I enforce certain line breaks but for the most part it does a really good job.

Scaleway has two plans for 3/month:

A: - 4 Dedicated ARM Cores - 2GB Memory - 50GB SSD Disk

B: - 2 x86 64bit Cores - 2GB Memory - 50GB SSD Disk

Does anybody have experience how these two compare performance wise? Is it better to have more (ARM)-cores or less (x86)-Cores?

I hope this helps with the adoption of newer versions of packages. I have used MacPorts in the past (and Fink before) but I am supper happy with Homebrew these days. What I disliked about Macports was:

1. Ports define which compiler to use. Sometimes I had to install a small tool and first it would another version of gcc. 2. Ports were outdated a lot. I developed a project using the Grails-framework and it was a couple of versions behind the current stable release. Just checked: Grails port is at version 2.2 https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/grails/... while the current version being 3.1.10

With Homebrew the adoption rate seems much higher. Also you don't depend on a single maintainer.

Do you use any particular framework to generate the static pages like jekyll or middleman?

Slightly OT: If you are less of a ruby guy, what are the go to frameworks in other languages? Especially when you are not looking for blog cms (e.g. pelican or hugo).

I monitor a solar panel installation using a Raspberry Pi that is connected to the inverter. That way I can check how much energy has been generated on every day/so far.

The company, which set-up the whole thing, also ran a couple of simulations beforehand and I am positively surprised that the installation actually produces more energy than predicted.

The whole project is live at http://solarpi.tafkas.net

I love HighCharts and use it for my open-source project at http://solarpi.tafkas.net

If you have a commercial product you have to pay for the license though.

And from what I heard: PHP.

I am also looking for a little VPS to run my toy projects and MVPs on. While I have had good experience with DO I am interested in other providers. Being from Germany I am currently invstigating Hetzner and https://www.netcup.eu Hetzner now offers vServer (https://www.hetzner.de/ot/hosting/produktmatrix_vserver/vser...) which are very similar to DO but you seem to get more memory for your money. Netcup has a package called "Root Server M" which caught my interest as it offers 2 vCPU, 6 GB RAM and 120 GB SSD for less than 10 EUR.

Both won't be an option for hosting a production environment but for toying around both look like good alternatives.

I wish Apple would do the same. Unfortunately there is no MacBook Pro with 32 GB RAM.

How many visitors/page impressions do have on average?

What is your system? Installing it on OSX is super easy. Either using Homebrew or http://postgresapp.com

I have looked at Pelican but isn't that more for a blog (chronological updates vs. static non-changing content)

I use MiddleMan as a static site generator for a page hosted on my raspberry pi: http://pi.tafkas.net

As I am more of a python guy I wonder if there is a similar (as in not primarily for blogging) generator for python?
