I’m trying to put a line tracker on an oscillating servo on the front of my squarebot. My program isn’t running the way I want it to, however.
angleset == angle 1;
tracker = GetAnalogInput (2);
PrintToScreen ("%d\n", (int)tracker);
angleset == angle2;
My code goes into an infinite loop at the PrintToScreen line and just outputs the value the line tracker sends. Why doesn’t the program move to the next line? Also, is there an easier way to make the servo oscillate besides repeating the block of code for multiple angles? My goal is to find where the black line is, and if it’s off to the left slow down the left motor and if it’s off the to right slow down the right motor.
Are you doing this in MpLab, EasyC, or something else.
Looking at it I can’t see anything obviously wrong.
However to shorten things up and remove a spot where you could run into an error you can get rid of “angleset == angle1;” and make “SetServo(3, angleset);” into “SetServo(3, angle1);” and so on for the rest of the code.
If you need the Tracker Values later, store them in another Array for later.
Remember, IF you create an Array in C/C++ of say 50 Items, the Subscripts to access the Array is from 0 (Zero) to One Less than the Array Size.
I don’t get why this isn’t working. I tried your 2nd code using the loop and it does the same thing. The servo goes all the way to the right and continuously outputs the line tracker reading with the 1 second delay between each. The servo only moves once.

SALTO Integrations give your Hotel Access Control management endless possibilities
At SALTO Systems, we’ve always invested in research and development to continually refine and improve our products and one of the key areas that we devote a lot of time and energy into is in developing integrations with other technology partners to combine and incorporate their services, increasing efficiency at a managerial level and optimising security for your premises.
As a large manufacturer of RFID & Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled electronic locks for hospitality rooms and facilities, it’s necessary to work closely with other guest room, building & hospitality management systems software developers to cover every corner of the access control spectrum - from back-of-house organisation to guest room management - and hotel operations needs.
Hotels operators can, of course, always use the SALTO access control and front desk management programs and software applications like ProAccess SPACE and the JustIN Mobile app that are specifically developed to work natively with SALTO stand-alone electronic hotel locks.
However, many hotels and lodging facilities have an existing program they might prefer to integrate with SALTO locks to allow guests to use their own app as a digital key, driving the opportunity for their hotel clients to benefit from a superior guest experience, whether by offering mobile guest Check-in & Check-out functionalities or additional guest self-services (vending, bike rentals, room service, spa & wellness…), for example.
SALTO has developed an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows third-party applications to easily operate and manage SALTO RFID & BLE electronic locks. By providing an API, SALTO is giving the hotel system integrator all of the flexibility in developing their own application that best fits their ecosystem. This also provides the hotel system integrator full control over their Cloud management and business strategies.
When the SALTO integrations team receives a request to evaluate how the respective technologies can work together, SALTO sends a Software Development Kit (SDK) for JustIN Mobile and the groups work together to integrate the API. This process gives SALTO and our colleagues in the security industry an opportunity to work together and elevate the solution for our end users.
SALTO understands that hotels may have preferred software and management systems. By working together with a variety of PMS (Property Management System), room management systems (RMS), check-in solutions, elevators access management or complete building management systems (BAS) solutions our developers can create a seamless solution that leverages universal technology, resulting in a better guest experience and smoother hotel operations.

CCTV cameras have become a common sight in public places and workplaces, but how exactly do they work? In this article, we will explore technology behind CCTV cameras and how they capture and transmit video footage.
CCTV stands for closed-circuit television. A CCTV camera captures video footage and sends it to a recording device or a monitor for live viewing. A CCTV system typically consists of a camera, a cable, a recording device, and a monitor.
CCTV cameras come in different shapes and sizes, from dome cameras to bullet cameras. The most common type of camera is dome camera, which is mounted on ceiling and can be easily adjusted to capture different angles. The camera captures video footage using a sensor and a lens. The sensor converts light into electrical signals, which are then processed by camera's electronics to create a video image. The lens focuses light onto sensor, controlling angle and depth of image.
The camera is connected to recording device or monitor via a cable. The cable carries video signal from camera to recording device or monitor. There are two types of cable commonly used in CCTV systems: coaxial cable and twisted pair cable.
Coaxial cable is a type of cable that has a copper conductor surrounded by a layer of insulation, a braided shield, and an outer jacket. It is most commonly used type of cable in CCTV systems. Twisted pair cable is a type of cable that has two insulated wires twisted together. It is less common than coaxial cable, but is used in some CCTV systems.
The Recording Device
The video footage captured by CCTV camera is sent to a recording device, which stores footage for later viewing. The recording device can be a digital video recorder (DVR) or a network video recorder (NVR). The DVR records video footage onto a hard drive, while NVR records footage onto a network-attached storage (NAS) device.
CCTV monitors are used to view live or recorded video footage from CCTV camera. The monitor can be a dedicated monitor or a computer monitor. The CCTV system can also be connected to a network, allowing users to view footage remotely using a smartphone or computer.
In conclusion, CCTV cameras work by capturing video footage using a sensor and lens, transmitting footage through a cable, recording footage onto a recording device, and displaying footage on a monitor. CCTV systems have become an important tool for improving security and safety in public places and workplaces. By understanding how CCTV cameras work, we can appreciate technology that makes them effective in preventing crime and protecting people.

But what exactly is the difference between a smart home and a smart building, and which one offers more benefits for homeowners? In this article we’ll explore the differences between smart home vs smart building as well as analyze their pros and cons so that you can decide which one works best for your own property. Keep reading to find out if a traditional intelligent house or an automated apartment block is right for you!
What is smart home and what is smart building?
What is smart home?
Smart home is a term used to describe a residence that has appliances, lighting, heating, air conditioning, TVs, computers and security systems that are all connected to an integrated control system. With this system homeowners can remotely monitor and control these functions through their smartphones or other remote devices. This technology allows users to pre-set lights, heaters and other utilities so that they come on at specific times of the day or when certain conditions such as motion sensing occur. Smart homes also allow users to save energy by controlling electricity usage more efficiently than manually operated systems.
Additionally, smart home technology can be used for safety purposes like alerting the homeowner if there is an intruder in the house. Smart home technology also provides convenience and energy savings for homeowners.
What is smart building?
Smart Buildings are buildings that use technology to automate and optimize energy efficiency, operations, and maintenance. These systems allow control over lighting, temperature, access control, security systems, and other building functions from a centralized location or through the cloud. Smart buildings can improve occupant comfort and safety while reducing operational costs for businesses. They also help conserve resources by reducing energy consumption in buildings. Smart building technologies are becoming increasingly popular as businesses continue to strive for cost effectiveness and environmental sustainability.
There are many components to smart building solutions such as sensors, analytics software, real-time monitoring systems, digital twins, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) integration and more. Through these components the benefits of reduced energy consumption, improved occupant experiences and enhanced security can be achieved. Smart building solutions are versatile and can be tailored to meet the needs of any business or organization. Additionally, they provide flexible scalability for future growth and expansion. The combination of these benefits makes smart buildings an attractive option for businesses looking to increase efficiency and save money.
Smart Buildings are transforming the way people interact with the built environment, from the energy used within a facility to how occupants use work spaces. By leveraging data analytics, optimizing operational processes, and enabling automation of tasks, Smart Building technologies provide powerful insights on how to improve efficiency and reduce costs in an ever-evolving digital world. As technology advances, so does our understanding of what it takes to make a building smarter.
Key differences between smart home and smart building
- Smart home uses a variety of devices to control and monitor the environment while smart building is much more complex and can control multiple environments.
- Smart home focuses on convenience, comfort, safety, and energy efficiency while smart buildings focus on maximizing efficiency, controlling large spaces, monitoring equipment and data usage, and improving occupant experience.
- A smart home typically utilizes IoT technology whereas a smart building may utilize both wired or wireless technologies for connectivity to achieve its goals.
- Smart homes are usually connected through proprietary systems that run on local networks while smart buildings rely heavily on cloud computing for connectivity between users and devices from different companies.5. Smart homes have an emphasis on personalization due to their smaller scale whereas a smart building focuses on scalability depending upon the size and scope of the building.
- Smart homes generally have a single controller that orchestrates all aspects of the smart home while multiple controllers are used in smart buildings to control different areas or departments within the building.
- Smart homes may use local gateways for communication, but rarely require complex network infrastructure, whereas this is essential for a large-scale smart building.
- The cost difference between a smart home and a smart building is quite significant as it scales with size and complexity of the system required for each environment.
Overall, although both smart homes and smart buildings utilize technology to automate processes and improve efficiency, they do so in very different ways depending upon their purpose, scale, complexity, and available resources.
Pros of smart home over smart building
- Increased Energy Efficiency: Smart home technology helps homeowners monitor their energy usage, allowing them to be more aware of how much electricity or gas they are consuming and when. This can save them money on their monthly bills while also helping to reduce their carbon footprint.
- Improved Security: Smart home systems can include security features such as motion sensors, door locks, and video surveillance that help keep homes safe from intruders. Homeowners can set up alerts and notifications so they know immediately if an intruder has been detected in the house or if something else suspicious is happening.
- Customization: Smart home technology allows homeowners to customize their living space by setting specific preferences for temperature, sound levels, lighting, etc., that are tailored to each individual’s needs and preferences. This helps to create a more comfortable and enjoyable living experience.
- Convenience: Smart home technology can make everyday tasks easier by providing automation for mundane tasks such as turning on lights, locking doors, setting the thermostat, etc. This can save time and effort for the homeowner, making their lives simpler and less stressful.
- Connectivity: Smart home systems are often connected to each other or to a larger network, allowing them to communicate with each other and interact in meaningful ways that provide convenience and efficiency for homeowners. Additionally, many devices have mobile apps that allow users to control their smart home system from anywhere in the world.
Cons of smart home compared to smart building
- Smart home technology is more expensive to install and maintain than smart building technology.
- Smart homes offer less control over energy consumption since most systems are not connected to a larger, centralized system like in a smart building.
- Smart home systems require more effort from the homeowner to keep up with regular maintenance, updates, and repairs compared to a professional managed smart building system.
- Privacy may be an issue for some homeowners who don’t want their personal data shared with their neighbors or other parties within a smart building setting.
- Smart home systems are typically limited in scope and only allow access to certain areas of the house instead of controlling all aspects of the environment like in a smart building setting.
- Security concerns can arise if someone manages to gain access to a smart home system, as all of the connected devices and features could be compromised.
- Smart homes may not provide enough data for homeowners to make informed decisions about energy consumption or other factors related to the building’s environment.
- Smart home systems are more vulnerable to cyber-attacks than smart buildings due to their typically larger number of individual device connections.
- The use of smart home technology is limited in apartment complexes and multi-family dwellings since it requires each resident to install and maintain their own systems individually.
- Smart home systems are typically less reliable than smart building technology, as they can be prone to technical difficulties or malfunctions if not properly maintained by the homeowner.
Pros of smart building over smart home
- Lower energy costs: Smart building technologies can help reduce energy consumption and cost. With automated lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and intelligent sensors that detect occupancy levels in different areas of the building, smart buildings can significantly reduce energy costs by only using the necessary amount of energy for each area.
- Improved security: Smart building technology also helps boost security measures within a commercial or residential property by alerting users to unwanted visitors or intruders. Building systems can be programmed to turn lights on or off depending on the time of day or when motion is detected in an area, automatically notifying occupants and allowing them to take action if needed.
- Increased productivity: Through connected digital devices such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones, smart buildings can give occupants access to their work data and documents from anywhere in the building. This helps increase productivity by allowing users to work more efficiently and access the information they need quickly.
- Enhanced comfort: Smart buildings also provide enhanced comfort for occupants through automated systems that adjust temperature or brightness levels throughout the building based on occupancy levels, time of day, and weather conditions. By taking these factors into account, the building’s HVAC system can ensure comfortable temperatures for everyone in a given area at all times.
- Increased sustainability: Smart buildings are more sustainable than traditional ones as they can monitor energy consumption and use renewable sources such as solar power when available to reduce the building’s environmental impact. Smart building technology can also help to reduce water consumption, thus helping to conserve resources over time.
- Reduced maintenance costs: Another advantage of smart buildings is that they require less frequent maintenance than traditional buildings since they are equipped with automated systems and sensors that can detect any problems before they become more serious issues. This helps to minimize downtime and reduce repair costs in the long run.
- Improved occupant safety: Smart buildings are designed for occupant safety, as many of their systems and technologies are designed to monitor for potential hazards such as fire or gas leaks. They can also be equipped with panic buttons for emergencies, as well as smart evacuation systems that can guide people to safety.
Cons of smart building compared to smart home
- Cost: Smart buildings require more investment for installation and maintenance, as the complexity of the systems is much greater than those in a smart home.
- Complexity: The complexity of running multiple integrated systems across a large building can be difficult to manage and maintain.
- Security: The security risks associated with accessing and controlling such sensitive data are also much higher, requiring additional measures to protect the system from hackers and malicious actors.
- Compatibility: It can be challenging to make sure that all the various components of a smart building are compatible with each other, which could lead to issues down the line if they’re not properly configured or maintained.
- Maintenance Requirements: Because of the increased complexity and number of systems involved in a smart building,the maintenance and upkeep requirements are also much greater. This can be costly and time consuming, requiring additional personnel to manage the system.
- Power Requirements: Smart buildings require a lot of power to support all the connected systems and devices, which can significantly increase energy costs over time.
- Privacy Issues: The data generated by smart building systems is often incredibly sensitive, so privacy concerns must be taken into consideration when implementing such systems in a public setting.
- Potential Disruptions: While rare, potential disruptions such as power outages or system malfunctions could cause significant issues if not managed properly and quickly.
Situations when smart home is better than smart building
- Smart home provides more personalized control over the environment than smart building. Smart home can be programmed to adjust temperature, lighting, and other factors according to individual preferences.
- Smart homes are less expensive than smart buildings. Smart home automation systems typically require much lower investments in hardware and software compared to a larger scale automation system for an entire building.
- Smart homes provide greater security than smart buildings. Since a smart home is confined within the walls of one house, it can be easier to protect from outside intruders or hackers, which wouldn’t be as easy with a whole building full of connected devices that would need to remain secure from all angles.
- With a smart home system, homeowners have direct access and control over their environment without relying on the building’s system. This is beneficial for those who want to monitor and adjust settings in their home when they’re not there, such as while on vacation or away from home.
- Smart homes can be easier to upgrade than smart buildings. If a homeowner wants to make changes or add new features to their smart home, it can often be done without major renovations or disruption of the home environment. With a smart building, however, making changes may require hiring an expensive contractor or waiting for a long process for approvals and permits.
- Smart homes can provide more convenience than a traditional building by automating common tasks such as turning lights off or adjusting temperature levels before bedtime.
Situations when smart building is better than smart home
- When managing a large building or campus with several interrelated systems, using one integrated system is more efficient than having separate systems for each component.
- When the building has multiple occupants and/or tenants, a smart building can provide better control over who has access to what areas of the building and when they have access.
- Smart buildings are better equipped to handle safety and security features such as fire detection and suppression, CCTV monitoring, automated door locks, etc., which provide extra peace of mind for residents or tenants in the building.
- Buildings with complex energy consumption patterns can benefit from the ability to monitor energy usage throughout the day and adjust accordingly for maximum efficiency.
- Smart buildings are able to integrate other services such as parking management, water usage monitoring and waste management, which can help to reduce costs associated with running the building.
- Buildings with multiple occupants or tenants often require more stringent health and safety regulations than a home, and smart buildings are better able to meet these regulations by providing accurate data on air quality, temperature control, lighting levels and sound levels.
- Smart buildings allow for remote access from anywhere in the world so that owners or operators can keep an eye on the building even when they’re not physically present.
- Because of their scalability, smart buildings are able to accommodate changes in demand such as increased occupancy or changing energy needs over time without having to replace existing systems or add new ones.
Smart Home vs Smart Building Summary
A smart home is a private residence that uses technology to automate and improve the functions of the home for the benefit of the occupants. A smart building, on the other hand, is a public or commercial space that uses technology to automate and improve functions such as security, lighting, climate control, and energy efficiency. While both types of applications can offer advantages and disadvantages depending on the situation, overall a smart building is better suited to manage multiple users and large spaces while a smart home offers more personalized solutions for individuals or small families. Do you have experience with either type of application? What did you think of it? Let us know in the comments below.


2K and Firaxis have released a new trailer for Civilization VI that gives us more insight into how exactly builders will function in the game.
It seems that big changes are coming to Civilization VI and one of those changes has to do with how buildings are constructed. In previous Civilization games, workers were used when constructing buildings, it would take a few turns before your city would have its latest construction project finished. Now in Civilization VI workers have been replaced by builders. These units are trained in cities and have a limited number of building charges before they disband.
Civilization VI launches in October 2016 on PC with both Mac and Linux versions planned.

As you have modified /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf
@args [ CARD ]
name "PCM Playback Volume"
you should notice that the front device has a softvol plugin with name "PCM
why PA server still insist to open front device for capturing ?
As Takashi had already mention that
"I agree that the capture from "front" PCM isn't considered as valid.
The "front", "rear", "center_lfe" definitions are rather for multi-channel
playbacks. The capture on these channels aren't useful in most cases."
you can perform an experiement
name "PA Playback Volume"
arecord -D test -f CD -d 10 -v test.wav
you will find "PA Playback Volume" in playback screen of alsamixer
I am not sure the softvol control created when PA open front device
for playback and capture is used for playback or capture
BTW , PA still using "front" to open CTL device too

Hey everyone, a local team is loaning us a Limelight 2 until we receive our order (shout out to team 2534 for being awesome!).
In short we are having issues configuring the camera. We started with it on a test bench hooked up to a power supply.
We connected limelight to a switch and could access it via IP but all of the options/screen were greyed out and not configurable. It looked like a ‘view only’ mode.
We then flashed the firmware successfully to the latest available on their site and could still access it via IP on the switch (not via limelight.local:5801). We still couldn’t edit settings.
We connected it to the roborio and we were not able to connect to it via limelight.local:5801 again. I ran out of time to scan the RIO IP space for the limelights assigned IP.
The green leds on front were sequencing back and forth (left and then right) through the whole time. There isn’t much documentation/troubleshooting so I was hoping for some assistance.

Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4540 All-in-One Printer
Yellow ink issue
Bought initial printer in May. It began to leak yellow ink. Received refurbished printer August 12. Now the yellow barely works even after several attempts to clean the head.
August 12, 2014
A new printer was purchased from Office Depot which had been on display. Immediately upon setting it up a major leak in the yellow ink delivery line occurred creating a mess. Epson replaced the unit with another refurbished unit. The refurbished unit has printhead nozzle proboems which result in streaked printing output, and the rear document feeder has major problems feeding envelopes. The black and white output is good, but color printing has streaks resulting from the clogged printhead nozzles which doesn't respond to repeated nozzle cleanings.
Overall, the experience with the WP4540 is not good.
August 8, 2014
This unit replaces a older Epson that had worked quite nicely until it began to jam and it was determined to be too expensive to repair. It was delivered quickly from the Epson store. Setup was fast and easy on multiple wireless devices - laptops, notebooks and PC's. One older laptop has a non functioning DVD drive so I needed to download the drivers from Epson and that was also quick and painless.
We have used the machine for faxing, scanning, printing (1 and 2 sided, business cards and brochures) and it is fast and the output is business quality. I would recommend this to any small or home business. It is large but fits nicely on top of a 2 drawer file cabinet next to my desk.
Bottom line this is a fast machine and I would highly recommend it.
July 28, 2014
When I have 2 pages in E-mail it only shows on screen the first page and will not print the second page. Also, when printing the right side does not print, it cuts off. It may be something I am not doing right.
Other than these problems the machine is a good printer.
July 14, 2014
Great Ink Printer
Have had printer for over six months. Initial print cartridges last much longer than other printer brands. Prints fast. Be weary of Microsoft driver updates for printer because for they cause problems with printing and create limited printing options. Stay with Epson drivers.
July 11, 2014
I bought this product for professional purpose. It exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it.
July 11, 2014
very disappointed, constantly have to be working on it. If it's not printing it having to clean something on it . also prints very slow
July 9, 2014
Thank you for allowing me to review this printer. I am a Real Estate agent who needs lots of marketing material and thought buying this printer would help. Unfortunately, the best quality is for black and white.
When I first bought the color was calibrated to print out beautiful pictures, but when I had to replace the color cartridges, it has not printed out a good solid color picture. I have followed each instruction but nothing works. I am ready to trash this printer for something else.
July 8, 2014
Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4540
What a great printer! I liked it so much, I bought one for my office and one for home!
Color is excellent, scanner works well.
Epson has great customer service, in the unlikely event that you need their support.
July 8, 2014
Epson WP-4540 printer
I installed the printer on multiple computers with three different operating systems, and everything worked smoothly. I have not owned the computer long enough to make any other comments, but I suspect it will work well.

Qualcomm LTE Direct Allows Calls Between Devices To Skip The Cell Tower
Here's a cool prospect: Imagine making a call while on-the-go, and rather than have the transmission go through a tower, it instead goes through someone else's phone. This idea isn't new, but Qualcomm has the capability to make it a standard, and with LTE Direct, it hopes to accomplish that.
LTE Direct has the capability to work with phones up to 500 meters away, much further than Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which in a populated city isn't really a tall order. The ability to place a call without major help from a phone tower is only the beginning of what this technology can do. Beacons could be placed all around the city that would aide in this improved signal, but have the added ability to broadcast messages to those in the area - something with limitless possibilities.
LTE Direct could prove beneficial in places like Qualcomm Stadium
We'd hope that such functionality would require acknowledgement on behalf of the user, and if so, something like that could become actually useful. Envision being downtown, for example, and being beamed all of the deals from restaurants in the area, or a store telling you that it's having a shoe sale. Again, this would be highly annoying if unsolicitated, but could prove extremely useful otherwise.
Qualcomm expects that LTE Direct could make it into shipping phones by the end of 2015, and some companies have already begun developing apps around it - including Yahoo!. Overall, it's a cool tech, and all I hope for is that it doesn't become an absolute nuisance - or another great way for our phones to become compromised by less-than-honest folks.

I installed Civ5 on Windows 7 and was able to run it fine on maximum settings on my laptop's Geforce 740M.
However, after running fine for two or three times, the game now hangs after the intro video, and will only actually start if I run it with the integrated Intel GPU, which can play the game reasonably albeit with lower quality.
I've tried disabling the intro video, reinstalled the nvidia GPU's drivers and the game itself, and also resetted all nvidia configurations to default, without success.
Edit: I'm also unable to run a DX10 performance benchmark using the nvidia GPU, but it runs with the Intel GPU. I've reinstalled two different older Nvidia drivers (353.30 and 359.06) and also reinstalled DirectX (KB2670838), the game still freezes on a black screen after the intro video, but runs fine on the Intel integrated GPU
Any hints of what can be causing this? Thanks!

Should You Run Your Database in Docker?
Someone mentioned not running databases in containers, but I don’t understand why it would be bad…
What problems can be caused by running PostgreSQL in a container? Should you be worried even if you don’t have a lot of traffic? Is it a general thing, and if so, why are so many apps setting up databases in their docker-compose files?
Let’s dig into this question, see what factors should influence your decision and whether you could do better or should start worrying.
Before Diving Deeper - Do You Know What You Really Need?
You wouldn’t think twice about using (or trying) Docker in a local development environment. After all, what’s the worst that can happen, apart from having to go back to your usual setup?
Using Docker becomes a less easy choice when it comes to more critical environments. In the end, it all depends on your needs. Not those of other people. Yours.
Production means different things to different people. Decisions get easier if you know what it means for you. What guarantees do you need? What risks are you willing to take? What upsides do you need, and what tradeoffs are you willing to take?
Docker For Development Environment Databases
Should you run databases in Docker? If you’re doing so in your development environment, there’s nothing to be concerned about.
You don’t have important data to lose. In case anything goes wrong, you simply recreate your environment from scratch. (You can get your dev env up in a single command, right?)
Let’s look at a few upsides of using containers in this setting:
- There’s less clutter on your development machine
- You can work on multiple projects side by side, which depend on slightly different database versions
- You can create a development environment on any OS in a reliable fashion
- Everything is “documented” through automation and reproducible
Personally, my favourite way to develop right now, is to have backing services be defined in a docker-compose.yaml file for each project and bind to local ports of the host. This way, I can run a dev server locally, using the complete power of my tools, and have it interact with databases which live in containers.
The only downside could be, that the team is not yet familiar with the toolchain, and needs to invest some research and adjustment time into it.
What About My Simple Live App?
If you’re working on a small project, and are deploying to a single machine, it’s completely okay to run your database in a Docker container.
Be sure to mount a volume to make the data persistent, and have backup processes in place. Try to restore them every once in a while to make sure your backups are any good.
A lot of people are running their small projects using Docker containers, or using docker-compose.yaml files to bring up their complete stack. It’s convenient, and perfectly fine for small projects handling non-crucial data. In the worst case - you restore a backup and are back in the game.
If you have a production system which people depend on, please take this recommendation with a grain of salt, and take a look further below.
Pitfall: Scheduling Across Multiple Machines
Here’s a pretty bad anti-pattern, which can cause you a lot of trouble, even if you’re just working on a small project. You should not run stateful applications in orchestration tools which are built for stateless apps.
Orchestration tools are designed to handle Docker containers running stateless applications. Such applications don’t mind being terminated at any time, any number can run at the same time without communicating with each other and nobody will really notice if a new container will take over on a different machine.
This is obviously not true at all for databases! They need their data to be available and being interrupted can cause all kinds of havoc.
If you’re using Kubernetes and your database runs in a ReplicaSet or ReplicationController, that’s a serious problem. You’d need to make use of StatefulSets and PersistentVolumeClaims. This means your cluster should provide a way to create PersistentVolumes, which can be accessed from all nodes.
But even then, you can’t just put any stateful app into a StatefulSet and be done with it. You have to tune it and make sure that the assumptions which are required actually are respected by the application.
Okay, but what about responsible production environments? Is it a good idea to run your important databases in Docker containers? In general, I’d say don’t use Docker for production databases.
The rule of thumb here is: how can you reduce complexity? The less unknowns are in your stack, the easier it’ll be for you to maintain things and react to incidents.
Databases are critical services. They take effort to operate, and even more effort to do so reliably. If you really need your data to stick around and be safe no matter what, you don’t want unnecessary risks.
Running databases with valuable data in Docker has been known to cause trouble in the olden days (2016).
Docker WILL crash. Docker WILL destroy everything it touches.
The time of weird bugs causing data corruption may be past, but one more layer in your tech stack can lead to unnecessary gotchas when operating a crucial service and performing maintenance tasks.
Especially if there are alternative ways to get more stability, spend less effort and reduce your risk. Database services provided by your cloud provider are a very good way to go for production (and that means also staging due to prod/staging parity) databases. Use RDS if you’re on AWS, Managed Databases on Digital Ocean, or an equivalend hosted Database service of your cloud provider. This will simplify a lot of management tasks such as updating minor versions, handling regular backups and even scaling up.
What If Managed Database Services Are Out Of The Question?
So it’s super important data, which is too sensitive to go to a managed service?
Is there a really well-maintained internal Kubernetes cluster? Is the service known to be in a reliable state when running on k8s? Are there actual important business reasons to use Kubernetes for everything? Maybe. But I’d still be very hesitant.
In all other cases, consider skipping Docker, and going with a dedicated machine for each part of the DB cluster instead, so there is as little operational complexity as possible.
Docker is great for running databases in a development environment! You can even use it for databases of small, non-critical projects which run on a single server. Just make sure to have regular backups (as you should in any case), and you’ll be fine.
For the love of all that’s good - don’t run dockerized databases in container orchestration/scheduling tools without making sure that they can handle stateful apps. Probably they don’t do this by default, and you will see a lot of weird issues. Even if they can, you usually need to tune the app to be compatible with the tool in question.
Should you use Docker for production databases? No. Simply because there are better options, like the database services managed by your cloud provider. If you really have to self-host such services in a reliable fashion, you’re in for a lot of work and learning. Set up dedicated machines and skip Docker. It’s a great tool, but you probably don’t need the upsides it can provide in this case.


Event sources are network sources that send information about events to the RSA NetWitness Platform. They can be physical devices, such as laptops, network switches or firewall, and virtual or cloud-based applications, such as VMware. For example:
- An Apache HTTP Server
- Amazon Web Services CloudTrail
- A Barracuda Web Application Firewall
- A connection to Dropbox
- An Oracle Database
- A VMware vCenter Server
You first configure all of your event sources so that they can communicate with the NetWitness Platform. RSA provides configuration guides for many common event sources, using a variety of collection methods (such as Syslog or file collection). After you have your event sources configured, use the information in this guide to manage them going forward.


Today, I am excited to announce the next evolution of the lookbook: fully-shoppable video lookbooks that require no technical experience to create. Using the Highstreet Mobile platform, fashion brands can easily create stunning assets that captivate customers and seamlessly enable sales through your mobile app.
These are more than just videos: we’ve connected the video experience to the product catalog so that the products are instantly shoppable, enabling users to tap and instantly view product details. Then, customers can either add an item to their basket or return to continue viewing the video lookbook.
Highstreet Mobile clients report that lookbook users on average spend 40% more time in the app, have a 200% increase in conversion rate, and spend 5% more per transaction. Lookbook users are also 5x more likely to return and make a new transaction.
The Benefits of Video, Lookbooks, And E-commerce
Fully-shoppable video lookbooks combine the engagement and conversion benefits of video with the branding benefits of lookbooks and the shoppability of an e-commerce store:
- Tell a Better Story – Video lookbooks enable you to effectively add your brand personality and differentiate your pieces from those of other brands. You are able to inject far more personality into a video lookbook than you can with standard product photos such as those you might use in your e-commerce store.
- Showcase Products in Real Environments – Customers want to know what products will look like when they are wearing them. Lookbooks enable brands to show multiple related products in ‘real life’ scenarios that help customers to picture themselves wearing them.
- Fully shoppable – Video lookbooks enable customers to quickly and easily make and act upon a purchase decision while viewing the lookbook.
How To Create a Fully-Shoppable Lookbook Experience
Creating a fully-shoppable video lookbook and publishing it in your app is easy with the Highstreet Mobile platform. You simply upload your lookbook video to Highstreet Studio CMS, after which our system will process and optimize your video. Once the upload is complete, you’re able to assign products from your catalogs to a specific time slot of the video.
Every linked product is shown for a minimum of 3 seconds, after which another product moves into the screen automatically. This ensures that a shoppable product is always visible on screen. With a single tap, users can view product details instantly and add it to their basket or wishlist. By tapping the back button, customers return to the video lookbook, which automatically resumes.
Let Your Brand Shine With Highstreet Mobile
Despite the advantages, very few brands are currently using fully-shoppable video lookbooks, in part because the technology necessary to create a seamless experience is complicated. The Highstreet platform takes care of all this, featuring:
- An easy-to-use video lookbook creation system, which enables brand merchandisers to upload videos and choose which products display on the video.
- A catalog with products so that users can seamlessly purchase products.
- Best-in-class user interface designed to streamline the shopping experience and thoroughly tested over time.
Moreover, since the platform is based on an app-as-a-service model, Highstreet handles security, maintenance and updates.
We’ve designed this platform especially for fashion brands with the objective of helping you create unique interactions with your customers and fans. Brands can launch a brand app within 6-8 weeks without a big IT budget or months of planning. If you would like to ask any questions, or request a demo, please don’t hesitate to contact us.


10 important things to check when buying a computer
Buying a computer is not so easy for "non-techies", the main problem with common people is that they don't know what they really need. If you are planning to read e-mails and surf the web, you will not buy the same computer your hardcore-gamer neighbour has.
Processor is the heart of your computer. Your processor needs are based on what you are planning to do on your new computer. If your main purpouse is using it for internet, e-mail, word processors and office applications, any modern processor in the market will fit your needs. One important thing to look in a processor is clock frequency (which determines your processor speed), now this is measured in Ghz. But don't be fooled by checking only processor's clock frequency, one thing more to check in modern processors is the number of cores. Today processors have more than one core, this is important for multihreading (doing more than one task at the same time), usually processors whith more than one core have less clock frequency but they still are more powerful. A processor can have one, two, four, ... cores and every core can act as a standalone procesor.
Hard disk prices grow in terms of space and speed. Go for the one that you need most, if you are planning to build a media server to stream MP3s over your network then, for sure the most important thing is to buy a big disk to fit your 1 Terabyte music collection, but if you are planning to stream High Definition videos you will also need a fast hard disk with a high transfer rate. There's no trick to check disk space (if mega, giga, and terabytes are words you know, if not you can check it on Wikipedia). Things to check for a high transfer rate are connection, IDE (the old one), ATA and SATA (Serial ATA, wich is the latest and even fastest), also RPM determines how fast your disk is turning and, of course, this will affect your disk speed.
Is screen important for you? If not, maybe you can skip these and next two ones, you can jump direct to Operating system. However screen is an important thing for games, graphics, watching movies ... Things to check when buying a screen are: aspect ratio, usually 4:3 or 16:9, the last one will give you a panoramic view and a more modern interface. Modern games now usually support 16:9 aspect ratio. Full HD or HD? This will determine your screen resolution, Full HD (also known as 1080p) works with 1080 lines of resolution with progressive scan which gives you the best reolution (1920x1080), HD (also known as 720p) works with 720 lines and give you a not so good resolution (1280x720). If you buy an HD screen 1080p or 720p, check that it has an HDMI connection in order to plug it to your computer in the best way.
This is an interesting piece for games. Check your video graphics card connectivity, look for an HDMI connection (modern connection for HD video) but you can also look for VGA, DVI connections if you pretend to use it also with older screens, you can also check for firewire if you want to capture video or TV connection if you need it. Video cards have a built-in processor which is called GPU (Graphics Processor Unit) this is one of the main things to check in your new video card, GPU model, speed, ... and the other important thing is Video memory, you have to check the size of video memory (usually from 64 MB to 4 GB) and the speed of this video memory.
An important characteristic of sound cards is polyphony, which is more than one distinct voice or sound playable simultaneously and independently, and the number of simultaneous channels. These are intended as the number of distinct electrical audio outputs, which may correspond to a speaker configuration such as 2.0 (stereo), 2.1 (stereo and subwoofer), 5.1 etc. You have to check that your card supports Dolby Digital Surround, which provides surround sound (usually called 5.1), where you can plug a set of five speakers and a subwoofer.
Operating system is an important thing when buying a computer, it's not the most important but for many people it's decisive. If you want to play, run Microsoft applications, Office, ... then go for Microsoft Windows operating system. If you like rock solid computers, using your computer for those internet things, a cool and cheap operating system and you like to do things on your own (as you don't need technical support) go and get a Linux. If you need commercial technical support and assistance but still need a rock solid OS go and check Mac OSx and forget all other aspects in this hub you are in a different world, that is what I call Apple's world.
RAM stands for Random Access Memory and it's a very important thing to check in your new computer as low memory can produce bottlenecks also in your home computing. Modern operating systems and games are resource-hungry in terms of memory. However for most people 4 Gb will be enough nowadays. There are many types of technology in RAM modules: SDR or SDRAM is the latest one (maybe you will not find these on your shop), then arrived DDR, DDR2, and DDR3 (latest) everyone performs faster and better than the older one. There is also RDRAM (Rambus DRAM), which is a high end product only used in high-tech computers and your Playstation 3. You can also check clock frequency to have an idea of memory DIMMs speed (usually in Mhz).
Network card is your door to networking, internet. The most important thing to look in a network card (for non-techies) is the network speed, 10/100/1000 Mbps. A card with 10/100/1000 can connect to gigabit network using a speed of 1000 Mbps. The fastest nowadays (and perfect for HD video streaming, realtime applications and heavy traffic networks, usually not like yours).
Network card is not the only connectivity to check in a computer, as modern computers offer also wifi (wireless network) connections, bluetooth (check that is Bluletooth 2.0, the last one), infrared connections. You can also look for serial and parallel connections (for specific needs), how many USB ports your new computer will have. Look for an HDMI connection for conneting your HD screen, DVI and VGA are old connections, but it can help you to connect with older screens, this will be more important on laptops or netbooks.
Do you plan to use your computer mainly at home, then go for a desktop computer. You plan to store your movie and music collection, and stream it all over your home then go for a server computer that fits your needs. You need lots of power, but you need to take your computer with you sometimes then go for a laptop. You need an "always with you" computer to stay connected, check your e-mail, surf the web and a little word processing and office tasks then go for a netbook.
