Woah. This is exactly what I am doing right now. I recently left my job after 10 very eventful years in software engineering and leadership. I am currently working on a home automation hardware product, which does require PCB design, 3D Printing, and Firmware Development.

I was trying to have it as a hobby for several years as I am very passionate about software development, but my full time job was taking so much of my time that I was never able make much progress. Now that I am working full time on the home automation product, I am moving much faster and I am working towards a pre-launch on Crowd Supply, which is in a couple of weeks. I am depending on my savings right now, and my goal is to make atleast sustainable income in the next 1-2 years and keep working on more home automation products.

Machining does sound fun to me, and I have a few things that I want to machine, but I don't have access to a metal CNC machine or know anyone who does. You can find a lot of software and hardware people in Silicon Valley, but not many CNC folks.

Thanks for the info. I have never been to Bihar or know about the situation there. My dad mostly worked in SECL and WCL (2 of the 8 fully owned subsidiaries of Coal India). They don't have any mining operations in Bihar or surrounding areas.

My dad worked in coal India for around 3 decades, and I grew up in one of the townships. I have never heard of Mafia involvement. However, I have seen coal being stolen from moving trains that transport coal. They are mostly locals who probably sell it or use it themselves, but it doesn't account to much AFAIK.

i paid for whatsapp back in 2012. it was a paid app on the app store. it wasn't much - $1, and everyone had to pay for it to download. later they made it a free app. i am more than happy to pay for a messaging app for myself and my close family, and i dont like the idea of sharing the data with fb. there needs to be a paid alternative.

I don't know of anyone who uses Gitlab. We use Github at work, and I know several people who use Github at work. In terms of features, I can't think of anything that Github doesn't support. If something is missing, you can always find tools/services that integrate with Github.

That said, I am quite surprized that Gitlab is growing so fast. I would be curious to know what is the source of most of their revenue. Are they targeting a specific cohort of users, which Github is not able to?

Then who do engineers report to?

thats super cool.

If they are really doing it, its really bad.

and what is that?

Is it even possible? HTTPS is used to avoid any possibility of man in the middle attack. How can nokia's proxy servers be able to decrypt that encrypted information unless they themselves have the private key?

the page shows "error".

`console.log` works fine.

There was a DDoS attack. Fixed.

you are missing out new line characters after each output. `System.out.println` should work.
