It is shipping, in a different dimension.

Obviously those booster rockets might get a bit tired after doing daily commuter flights for a decade or so, therefore there will also come a time when a third world country, e.g. Bangladesh becomes the place where old booster rockets go to be scrapped, so, next to the ships on the beach booster rockets crash down and small children working with no health and safety tear them to pieces.

I have put a few hundred pages of notes through this thing since I've had it. That's a lot of paper I don't really want to carry around. I have old notebooks, binders, loose-leaf collections of everything from letters to myriad projects to random musings.

My notes on this are organized into folders. When I'm at a SAR meeting, I tap "SAR", and there's everything from the last meeting and training notes and anything else I might want to reference.

When I'm at work, I tap "[Job]", and there's the graphs, notes, and complex as hell SQL and database layouts and everything else I've been working on lately.

I don't have to scribble out sentences from pen and paper, instead I can neatly erase them from the screen and rewrite them. It has become my tool of choice for first draft, second draft, third draft, and final draft writing to people I care to write to.

When I'm working out a flow chart or application logic or something else that I'm struggling to get my head around and ordinarily would run to paper for, I use this instead, because when I need to reorganize different bits I can just draw a circle around them and drag them elsewhere on the screen.

And, after doing all of this, I can back all of that up to my laptop.

Go ahead and do that with your pad of actual paper, I'll wait while you find a scanner and fight to get the stupid paper feeder to work.

If the thought of being unplugged and focused on a single thing doesn't exhilarate you, if it terrifies you, that's fine, this isn't the device to you. I'm not going to cheer it on to those folks; frankly, at this point, I hope ReMarkable is able to avoid that audience, because they're going to ask for all the wrong things.

But I don't spend a lot of money and when I first saw this thing I immediately wanted it because it's exactly what I've been wishing for, for a long time now. Ever since the Newton, at least. It's valuable at that price to me and to a lot of other people.
The argument works both ways

Imagine you spend $200 a month on Amazon and can cut it to just $50 with a faster and less memory taxing language

You suddenly have more money to spend on something else

My neighbor has a small parking lot in his backyard with 10 old cars. Everyone calls it "junk yard" because all his cars are old with chipping off paint, dusty windshields, etc. The ironic part is that most of those cars have such basic electronics, that EMP hits us, he is the only one comfortably driving off on four wheels. Everyone else will need bicycles, horses, or plain walk.
I have similar problems with the Finder. Right-click a file on the Desktop and you have the option to compress a file. Open the Finder to the desktop folder, that option isn't present -- it's grayed out on the Finder file menu as well.

I really like the fact that the Windows save dialog is basically Windows Explorer, and I really miss those features when an application uses the older file save API (which gives a more Windows 95 / 3.11 interface).

Besides, I am sure the rocket itself had radios that were reporting on what was going on. When they all stopped sending signals at the very point the rocket should be touching down, that was a pretty sure signal it had crashed.

Hey! Yes, it's hard to capture the state of VMs.

This is where the Docker and Kubernetes integration comes into play -- if your app is captured entirely in Kubernetes manifests, the only thing left to capture (apart from the declarative Kube manifests, which should already be in version control) is the state that exists in Kubernetes Persistent Volumes. Dotmesh provides a Kubernetes Persistent Volume driver which provides Dotmesh StorageClass PVs and a Dynamic Provisioner, meaning that you really can capture the entire state of your app with Dotmesh... as long as you're deploying it with Kubernetes.

Code and infrastructure are already under control thanks to version control and terraform, ansible etc -- this completes the picture.

That some people prefer an iPad to eink for reading absolutely blows my mind. I'm still annoyed that the iPad killed practically killed the eink market, such waste.

Keyword: Subitizing -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subitizing

In Rain Man, Raymond sees three groups of 82 toothpicks instantly. The waitress recognizes instantly that there are 4 toothpicks remaining - that's a much easier number to see instantly.

I believe that the ordinary maximum that people subitize is 4. I can believe that the threshold may vary between a normal 3-5 up to something as high as 10. And when playing fast-paced card games with friends, I think that my range is much lower and theirs may be much higher! But 82 is just unbelievable.
I remember having learned that the maximum is somewhere around 7 for the average person. So most people will easily recognise 1-5 apples, find it slightly harder to recognise 6 and beyond 7 they most likely have to count or split them into smaller groups.

I have worked with many people who now work at 18F. Most, if not all, are of a very high caliber.

I looked at the "join" section, and at compensation.

You cannot earn more than $164,200 per year working for 18F, apparently.

It's truly a a labor of love, because I know without a doubt that each of those people could be earning far more in the private sector.
Has nest really had a successful product past the v1 hockey puck thermostat?
Yup. That's the issue. I'll have to make sure it checks for empty/short strings there.
Interesting feedback, thanks. I agree that the git CLI is confusing, unfortunately it's the best thing we've got that a huge number of developers are familiar with for exploring a state tree with branches and commits.

BBEdit 12.1 Serial Key with License File [Certified Version]
I think product-izing open source projects is a long shot, but:

I would go the SAAS route, the way WordPress.com does it. Self-serve DIY hosting and enterprise clients (the kind of stuff you'd have account managers for).

There also is a recipe for a permissively licensed library, with a commercial front-end: spaCy, the NLP library [1], and prodi.gy, the front-end [2].

The spaCy devs are my favorite success story. A solid library, and using their know-how to create a value-added front-end on top of it.

There is a lot in play when this happens. SaltStack is a superb configuration management system. But when I make tickets on GH to pressure them to make things more fluid for non-enterprise deployments, they don't get much traction. I can't help their bottom line, and their incentive to cater to enterprise clients takes them astray from the values that made it great: the masterless, solo quickstart [3] (this is strongly my own observation).

By far the biggest usage of open source is going to be intermixing permissively licensed libraries and build tools in larger works. By the time you see a polished service or product, you may not be able to tell what it's built in, even though they stand on the shoulders of giants. PS4 and Switch is built on FreeBSD.

This is correct, all large companies use agencies to place their ads, almost never direct.
YouTube Red is a nice exception. For $10 per month, I get no ads, and some portion of my fee goes to the creators of the videos I watch. I've already taken the time to subscribe to certain creators, so now my YouTube feed is high quality with little noise. If Google revealed exactly how much of my subscription is going to creators, I think it would be easier to convince more people to sign up. I'd like to see other services try a similar model.
WireGuard is likely going to be merged into Linux kernel[1]. And it's already supported by latest Systemd 237[2].

If you're comfortable with beta/dev software versions, or using ArchLinux/Debian Sid/other distro with the latest software—there's no reason not to rely on WireGuard today. Otherwise, wait until it arrives at your system, being built into the mainline kernel. Also, I would like it to get audited by independent third-party.

Good point :) I changed the wording on the home page now.

When I initially put the home page up, I wasn't collecting anything.
Not sure if this is a smart move, the Brand Nest was far enough removed from Google to feel different to customers.

Now explaining to my mother that we want to install Google Cameras in my Apartment is a whole different deal.
It's the wrong question.

The question that should be discussed is why non-engineers feel qualified to dictate product decisions.

It really seems dumb to have a thermostat at all. If I have a smart home, why not just have an app for controlling temperature settings? With a google home, I should be able to say "Set temp to 21".
What's happening to the Nest brand, then?
That's not the entire truth. TCP over TCP is not a good mix, but SSH tunnels are different.

SSH tunnels are not VPN tunnels. SSH will act as the endpoint for your TCP application and only tunnel the application payload over SSH (TCP). On the other side a new TCP session will be opened over which that payload is sent. So you never do TCP over TCP.

It's more so a proxy than a tunnel and that avoids the real issue, which is nested congestion control. In addition SSH should also be able to do so with less overhead (in bytes) than a VPN (which need to forward the IP and TCP header intact), but I don't know how well SSH takes advantage of that.

SSH tunneling can outperform OpenVPN running in TCP or UDP mode.
Yeah I've stopped sans putting it in a holster that is in the same FOV as the windshield and using it for navigation. I had a close call or two and realized that by default may people will not only use their phone in a dangerous way, but use it in their lap. Moving your FOV to your lap while controlling a car is absurd.
This is true, but it's also gotten much more shallow and predictable IMO. The memes feel forced or manipulated by large corporations(see /r/hailcorporate), and I don't feel like part of a community anymore, simply an observer. I honestly just don't enjoy it as much. Idk if this is everyone's experience or just my own, though.
> It also makes me a grammar nazi

More precisely, a usage nazi :-) :-) :-)

I agree with you, though. Unless and until it catches on, it's only a potential meme, not an actual meme.
All of this stuff is accessible in real life, and in a fuller way. I don't think missing out on 1000s of hours of Instagram consumption is a particular disadvantage, especially if those 1000s of hours were spent actually hanging out with friends or playing sports etc.

Wireguard sounds intriguing, but it seems to lack one of tinc's main features, which is presenting a fully-reachable network regardless of the underlying connectivity.

I really like being able to roam with my laptop(s) and have my routing table look exactly the same, as opposed to having a "home network" and then having to explicitly "connect to the vpn" when away from it.

With a quick reading, it looks like the Wireguard protocol wouldn't preclude adding this functionality via userspace forwarding daemons on the better-connected hosts. It's just not there right now, especially in the just-works package tinc provides.
Fitbit killed Pebble instead of continuing it (and making a profit from it.)

> Yes, my point is that function scoping can hardly be described as "makes sense all the time".

Block and function scoping both "make sense all the time."
Whether or not you personally are accustomed to a language's design decisions does not have any bearing on whether or not those decisions "make sense."

In the particular case you cited, of course it is natural that `foo` is in scope outside of the loop; it appears in a line outside of the loop. This is trivially evident in the indentation.
I don't think reddit "is done".

I've been on it nearly 11 years and I do see the rules being piled on. It seems like it has become so complex that just to post something you need to consult a flowchart or a manual as complex as the Turkish tax code.

The locking of threads option may end up being a contributor to reddit's downfall. That feature is powerful and is easily abused for a site where user's take pride in freedom of speech.

But I can also see as each generation discovers the site how attitudes change. The inevitable clash of generations makes for some interesting situations.
This will be cool when you replace your furnace with a “smart furnace.” Until then the smart thermostat is required to function just like you said.

Btw, a nest is about $200, a furnace is $2-5k.
Something I still have bookmarked to likely get is a "Your Life in Weeks" poster (https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html). This would not be so much for planning as for keeping a sense of scope and proportion.
The most recent chromecasts are more like mini computers. It wouldn’t surprise me if this product came released with a beefed up version of chromecast.

If you can cache data locally, you can drastically reduce the bandwidth requirements. Of course it’s still a huge challenge due to latency, but there are many tricks google can use to solve that issue. There may also be clever ways to offload some processing to local/nearby android devices.

This type of gaming service, IMO would require a fundamental rearchitecting of how games are developed. I would be more curious to see if Google can run any game on this service, or if they’ll build out their own gaming platform with an SDK that optimizes for the architectural differences between cloud and local gaming.
A thermostat is the interface to the climate control system, how could you possible remove it from the system? Where would the temperature feedback come from?
“Why I’m Leaving the Academy in Order to Help Save It”
Nest is probably Google's strongest hardware brand (although it has some blemishes). I wonder what this looks like within Google?

Will Google HW products become branded under Nest? Will Nest remain specific to the home? Will the Nest brand be dropped entirely? Will things remain "separate-but-together?"

Will Nest Weave [1] become the default IoT offering from Google, superseding Android Things? Will Nest Weave run on GCP?

I'm guessing there is quite a bit of turf-warfare going on to determine the answers to those questions.

Also, there's a lot of potential for the results to be drowned out by bias in the study design and other confounding factors.

I really don't think the evidence supports the hypothesis in any meaningful way.
I will be so frustrated when Google makes my thermostat stop working by end of living Nest.

> In Matplotlib I still don't understand what is the right way of initializing a pyplot, there seems to be a million ways to do it and a million parameters you can give. API changes and inconsistencies too pain me at times

Matplotlib has the worst API of all Python libraries I have used over the years!

If there were a fork of it that got rid of Matlab-way of doing things (keeping only OOP style) and with consistent names (no more `twowords` and `two_words`), I would gladly switch in a heartbeat.
What Apple have done with both first and second generations of the Macintosh -- System 1 and OSX -- is pick a basic GUI metaphor and stick with it for at least fifteen years.

The original Mac released in 1984 and was produced through 2000, sixteen years. OSX released in 2000 and is now in its eighteenth year. Whilst each system has seen some evolution over time, the general metaphores and interfaces have remained consistent.

Apple have realised and internalised a core concept of GUIs: change is bad. There is a far higher cost to changing interfaces than can be gained through efficiency, and the retraining and unlearning costs are exceedingly high relative to benefits.

This is a message apparently lost on Microsoft and most of the leading Linux desktops.

Mind: I write this as someone who whilst using a Mac presently doesn't much care for the interface. My preferred desktop remains WindowMaker (itself based on Aqua's predecessor, NextStep), which has a key advantage of having changed almost not at all in the 20+ years that I've been using it. It's also configurable in ways I find useful, and I schlep around a configuration directory to new systems as needed.

That and a terminal window.
The end was when Google purchased it and the founder left a few months later.
> there are still some subs that are pretty insular but for the most part as they've grown they've gotten nicer

That didn't just happen naturally as they grew, Reddit took deliberate steps to make their platform more welcoming. (See https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/26/us/reddit-violence-policy... for an example.)
>>I think there is a dangerous mysticism in this idea of the immeasurable, incomparable, and unfalsifiable value judgement.

>In what sense is it dangerous and in what sense is it mysticism?

Mysticism is dangerous because it challenges the status quo ideal of extreme materialism; that your worth as a human being is defined by the size of your bank account.

E.g. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal"
You’re almost certainly correct, yet I think this shortcut many content providers/hosts have taken is going to eventually lead to backlash. I really don’t want to see what the FCC looks like trying to police large sites for content.
The stories of Reddit's problems with harassment, racism, and sexism have decreased over the last year but that appears to be mostly from the site doing a better job of hiding it. There is still just as much hate on the site except now it is just seething under the surface. I am sure that is better from an investor perspective, but it isn't really a solution to the problems.

Hehe. I find using 'absolutist' words to be some of the greatest simple joys of life! Hyperbole and absurdism are high art, high comedy, and the best way to explore cultural conceptual spaces. It works for science and other approaches as well, as most novelty is usually found at the fringes and where assumptions break down.
This is interesting. What interventions can be made to reduce this pay gap? With the reasons in the paper, should this gap be corrected (eg, force maximum speed, pay higher for slow drivers but only gender specific, etc etc).

The flip side to this is that it seems to me many leaders of note abuse these words constantly. I would love to see the study of absolutist words relationship to the ability of leaders to gain followers. Most leaders such as Churchill spoke with heavy use of absolutist words.
