• See where NYC DOT has speed and other cameras...

  I don't believe there is a public facing official GIS (Geographic Information System) layer published for speed and red light cameras. Any sets they have are usually found on NYC Open Data but I don't see anything: https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us/. Source: about 1 year ago

• CSE 6242 prep tips

  For the group project, start looking at large data sets now (e.g. https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us/). Find something interesting. Since you'll be responsible for joining a group, you don't want to run into a situation in which no one has any ideas and doesn't know what to do. Source: over 1 year ago

  Specific cities like New York City has publicly available data sets. Source: over 1 year ago

• Growing a side-project to 100k Unique Visitors in one week

  For the backend, I opted for Airtable as a database. It's a simple, no-code solution that I've used before. It's not the most powerful database, but it's perfect for a project like this. I could easily add, edit, and delete records, and it has an embeddable form functionality that I used for user submissions. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

  Airtable.com — Looks like a spreadsheet, but it's a relational database unlimited bases, 1,200 rows/base, and 1,000 API requests/month. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• How to generate links to a record to view it in an Interface?

  The ?XXXXX part of the URL identifies the type of interface page it is. Just copy that and then your formula is just "https://airtable.com.../...?XXXXXX=" & RECORD_ID() I'm not sure it works in every type of interface page (where you've started from a blank page for example). There has to be something to identify the record viewed from the page, if you see what I mean. Source: 10 months ago

• Working on a personal app for data tracking. looking for suggestions

  So I started building something on airtable.com that would allow me to easily track updates for each batch. What in your experience would make sense to track that I may be missing? Source: 10 months ago
