Which is not an LCD so I guess the point still stand


I don't see crt as pinnacle vs oled for any metric other than scaling for very low resolution retro games


If the power usage is correct on my UPS, my whole setup draws about 70W for: - USG Pro 4 - Cloud Key gen 2 - Two basic POE Switches - 4 access point - 5 cameras - 1 raspberry pi - 1 VSDL Modem


Not much.. that's like one incandescent light bulb.


That's basically what http://www.cargosense.com/services.html does. I remember Rich Kilmer presenting a beacon a couple years ago that does GPS/accelerometer/temperature/whatnot to monitor packages.


Well that's kind of the point of the article, comparing an average birth in the US vs an over-the-top one in the UK


The first time I used a car with hill assist I wondered why the car wouldn't start. Seems the assist was slower than me at the brake-clutch-accelerator game.


Hosting images on dropbox might be an issue. Maybe you should use data url so the signature is "self-hosted".


I may have missed something but isn't this just a (very small) wkhtmltopdf wrapper?


It is at the moment, but it provides the right config ;) Plus, I'm planning to expand it to provide more general document layouts, so you can create "print" documents of different kinds in HTML and simply export it.

I just needed this for myself and wanted to share it with people :)


Apple invested in MacRuby? What a joke! This project was almost singlehandedly held by one person. I know for a fact that Apple doesn't give a fuck about MacRuby, don't fool yourself about that.


Who ask for this misinformed opinion?

>Apple invested in MacRuby? What a joke!

Yes, it did. Back in the day, MacRuby started by Apple employees and initial development was paid by Apple.

>This project was almost singlehandedly held by one person.

Which is beside the point.

>I know for a fact that Apple doesn't give a fuck about MacRuby

You don't say! That has been the case several years now, since Apple stopped supporting the project. Everybody in the MacRuby community knows this.

>don't fool yourself about that.

Thank you, Captain Informed.


If you spent a few minutes to read RM's doc you'd have seen that RubyMotion runs on top of the Objective-C runtime. The only thing it "replaces" is the language, the syntax if you will. API, calls, parameters, ... all is native. This is not Adobe Air, it's Ruby on top of the Objective-C runtime. There's no translation involved, no interpretation.


I understand what RubyMotion is.

RubyMotion is another layer. You can argue it is minimal. That doesn't change that it is a dependency, out of your control, and unsupported by Apple.

Let's say the RubyMotion team is acquired, and the product sunsetted. What do you do?


Of course it's a shame that Laurent needs to eat and of course this has everything to do about RM being able to build for Mac or not. Knowing him, I know he would prefer RM to be open source but it would be much harder for him to monetize his efforts.

I'm perfectly ok with paying a fee to get RM but I know that wouldn't pay for support (especially if the community handles it which is already the case).

Corporate sponsorship doesn't always works and often lacks security and stability for both the developer and the project as they are at the mercy of one entity.


He would make more money charging for support or for the tail end (e.g. codesigning).
