#242I want to learn and play with LoRa. It's a 'IoT' technology that allows you to communicate over long distances using amateur (unlicensed) radio bands. Some of my friends have achieved distances of over 40km, and I'm curious to see what I can do with it. So far I've been able to get a ping between two modules over a 10m range. Next up I'd like to transmit some useful data over longer distances (temperature for example…
I have played with LoRa using Arduinos and an RPi that forwarded the transmissions to a web-service. Going from the 'hello world' ping to data is an extremely easy step using the right library.
I'm sure it's easy, however right now the range part is where the blockage is: I get a SNR of -11 and RSSI of -107.. which results in just a few meters of transmission.
Using a Draguino Lora Shield + Hat combination, with the antenna which was in the box. Dunno what I'm doing wrong - what hardware and library did you use?

#243Earlier quoted context omitted.
Very cool, but I'd suggest narrowing your list of technologies down substantially: I'd suggest learning one database well, one backend language well, and one frontend framework well. Then you can spend some time using what you know to evaluate which other of the other options you want to learn. Otherwise, you're going to spend most of your time tripping over syntax, which really isn't useful learning unless you plan…
One database, one backend language, one frontend framework, that's great! I've got your idea, thanks very much.
I learned AngularJS in 2016. Everyone wants to hire a React developer. I don't know if functionally one is better than the other however the small devs shops what React developers. Otherwise, people are looking for web developers strong with Rails, Django, React ecosystem, JavaScript on server, Postgres, and Redis.

Great, React, Postgres, Redis, I got it, thanks for your sharing!

#245After watching La La Land, I finally settled on the instrument I'd dabbled with for years - piano. So I enrolled in a music theory course and I'm gonna learn to play the piano along with it.

#246Growth hacking. I'd like to learn how to sell a SaaS product[1] to businesses. I'd also like to explore content strategy and marketing. As a software developer joining a new 2-person startup, this is uncharted territory for me. Looking forward to the experience. [1] https://www.metriculator.com
My favorite growth resources are Brian's essays at http://www.coelevate.com/
Thanks for the suggestion. I am also an admirer of Brian's writings. Other resources that I have started referring to are - frequenting Inbound.org and GrowthHackers.

#247+ learn the notes on the guitar neck + continue learning Clojure and build stuff with it + improve english speaking skills + read more, in english and native language + learn how to find clients outside of online freelance marketplaces + get away from ruby and rails + study more poker hands + learn to play chess better + learn about seo & marketing + bootstrapping a SASS product + make a few html5 games in clojurescr…
As a fairly accomplished guitarist let be give you a piece of advice. If you want to learn the notes instead of learning them across the 6 strings, concentrate on learning them up and down the same string.
To add to this, I'd probably learn the low E, then you can use octave patterns to find the notes on other strings easily.

#249I want to move out of the cloud. My apps should run on my own server hardware. I feel this is more important than anything else right now. Even growth.

I'm just wondering, why is it more important than growth?
