Articles, notes and random thoughts on Software Development and Technology
Highest elevation on this pass was 50 degrees at 12:36PT. It’s interesting seeing the decodes getting progressively better as the signal strength increases towards the highest point, and then dies out again:
12:12PT
12:34PT
12:38PT
12:43PT
The ISS is transmitting SSTV on 145.800MHz this week, June 21-26. I left my laptop running during the day and here’s the decodes I captured. Equipment is an Icom 880h with a homebrew copper wire quarterwave groundplane, and I’m running the RX-SSTV software.
12:32 PT – the highest elevation on this pass was only 22 degrees at 12:34 PT:
12:36 PT:
12:41 PT:
Next pass, 14:09 PT – highest elevation 50 degrees at 14:11 PT:
14:12 PT – probably the best ISS SSTV decode I’ve got so far! :
15:48 PT – there were no ISS passes at this time today, so not sure what this one was:
Software development is about solving problems. It’s about solving problems in an effective way that adds value. It isn’t about programming languages and writing code. Programming languages are tools. We use tools like Cloud compute to run our solutions, and we build solutions with tools like programming languages and frameworks.
It’s all about solving problems.
If you’re getting started in software development as a career and are putting all your effort into learning a programming language, remember that’s just a tool. It’s how you use it to solve problems which is the important part.
The Serverless framework ‘serverless deploy’ deploys whatever .jar you have packaged and ready to go within your source project.
If you make local code changes but don’t re-build your .jar, serverless thinks you don’t have any changes to deploy:
$ serverless deploy ... Serverless: Packaging service... Serverless: Service files not changed. Skipping deployment...
If you’re building a maven-based project, ‘mvn clean package’ first, then run your ‘serverless deploy’.
