That does make sense, but Im more referring to the people in the company. For example when I was working as IT, there were people who were still using Office 2016 at a time when Office 365 was already out for a while (dont... just dont... I agree with whatever you are thinking of commenting about this - it was insane). When we finally upgraded them all to 365 we as IT had to show them how to do their basic workflow stuff again because the interface was so different. Even microsoft, which is a software vendor (arguably one of the biggest one if not THE biggest) wouldn't deal with training your employees for something like that. In that regard, I guess its the same situation as an OSS developer who just puts their product out, provides the most basic support maybe in terms of github issues, and calls it a day.
My comment was more on the internal relationship between the IT guys who will create the training resources and then for a period of time guide the regular employee through using the software, and the regular employee just using the software, rather than the organisation and the person/group/company providing the software
In my experience its irrelevant for the computer illiterate whether its OSS or M$S... They'll always need handholding until they learn their workflow. At least my experience working as IT.
Of course as soon as an update changes the UI slightly they need to go through the whole process again xD
This seems to be basically what I want to achieve, except I realised it only works on official arch repos and so doesnt sync the DB for the AUR, which I'd like. I started looking into it and a way I can use just yay to sync the local DB with the remote since its just a wrapper for pacman, but I got a bit lost.
Using yay to sync both official and aur I think also means I need to create only one .timer and one .service files to sync the DBs, instead of having one of each for checkupdates and whatever yay command I use, right?
Any ideas for what I could use without needing to enter sudo password since it needs to run in the background?
Thanks
EDIT: I solved the passwordless issue I think by adding this to my sudoers:
I verified by running yay -Sy --noconfirm and it worked without asking for password so I think if I use that in my systemd timer service if will work, but now I would like to check against the local DB everytime I open the terminal.
EDIT 2:
In my .bin/check_last_update.sh script I replaced this line
num_packages_to_update=$(checkupdates | wc -l)
with this:
num_packages_to_update=$(yay -Qu | wc -l)
I think it works now, but I'm not sure if the -Qu flags also check for AUR updates.
These 2 boards are part of my circuit, which I want to move from my breadboard to a PCB, so I need a way to attach these boards to the PCB. Due to the fact that I want the ability to re-use these boards in other projects, and also not have them stick up from the PCB vertically, I decided to go with right-angled headers so that I have both of these features (easy plugging in/unplugging of the boards from the final PCB, and a more compact final design).
However since they will need to hang over some degree you need to look at the 2d drawing and make sure the right angle header pins are long enough to mate to the matching component on the board.
By this do you mean I need to make sure the pins on the boards will fit in the hole of the headers? I was under the impression that pin length is quite standard, much like pin separation. I believe mine are 2.54 mm because they fit nicely in my arduino headers, as well as the breadboard. I'd assume the length is also standardised. Please correct me if Im wrong.
If you are sending the board out to be made at a shop you will need to define these features and tolerances in the manufacturing layer that will export as part of the gerber file and possibly provide a 2d drawing.
as I go through each step of the process. When he gets to the point about designing the PCB I'll see if he mentions how to make sure I have enough clearance for all my components, otherwise I guess I'll look for other videos explaining how to do this.
Pretty much yea thats what I want to do, but I havent started designing the PCB yet, as I wasnt sure how to create the footprints for these components.
If I'm understanding you correctly, in this case I need to kind of "work backwards" and instead of creating the footprint for the board and add pins to it, I need to create the footprint for the headers I will use, and simply mark out a region which the board will sit on so that that area is free from other components?
Thanks, I'll dm you in a sec. Meanwhile, I did a quick search and came upon Payhip. Ive never used it myself as Im not a creator so definitely do your own research, but at first glance it seems to be good for your purpose. Of course the ideal scenario would be to have your own simple static website for the book, but I understand depending on your skill level with setting something like that up it might be unrealistic. I wish I had experience integrating payment processors into static web pages so I could do that for you over a weekend and leave the domain/hosting to you, but alas Ive never had to deal with that kind of integration.
Im not aware of such a platform but Ill give it a look and see what i can find, and hopefully more knowledgeable people can suggest some here for you :)
I dont have youtube so i use it as my main mobile video viewing app. So far im happy with it. I have the youtube and odysee plugins. Devs also seem to be responsive and helpful on github, as i found out when i did a derp i thought was a bug but wasnt and opened an issue.
Hey, so Id like to give this a read, but the gumroad reviews im reading on trustpilot dont inspire too much confidence, but most other reviews dont seem to have more than the usual 'cons' to mention. Whats the case here? Is it really not safe or is it just that only people with bad experiences would post on trustpilot?
Id be open to paying you directly for the file somehow, if thats a possibility.
What part of europe are you from my friend?!?
