For meetings I host I'm trying to evaluate Jitsi as well, so far without much luck. I'm not hosting that many meeting and the one I did was with someone using Linux not getting screen sharing working.

But Jitsi is on my shortlist as I think being open source and self-hostable is the way forward for a tool that could knock Zoom of it's throne.

Stories gathers everything that happens regarding a user on a timeline
Hey folks,

We have a SaaS that is running pretty well for a couple of years, but we always felt blind when it came to our users. Out of frustration, we developed our own tool that gathers everything that happens regarding a user on a timeline.

It allows us to visualize the journey of a user, by showing us all the actions taken for or by a user; both across our product and the different tools we use.

Few friends asked me if they could try it for their own startups a few weeks ago. We gave them access and they really loved it. So we thought we should make it available for everyone and run it as a side project. We called it Stories (www.getstories.io).

What do you do to have a clear understanding of what is going on with your users? Please let me know

Also, I'm an expert on product and user data. I'll be happy to answer any questions on these topics.

Probably this will be incinerated since contaminated. It’s basically all sorts of plastic. Maybe this will push forward recycling industry to deal with large amount of plastic waste. Maybe not.

I can speculate, that more and more products in the stores will be wrapped to create safety feeling for the buyers. “Buy here, our food is well packed and clean!”
My employer is allowing us to use our paid leave for this purpose, and we haven't seen this. You still only have a limited amount of paid leave per year and so you can use it for this but it means if you get sick later you can't use it for that.

Not sure why you added the word "unrestricted." Seems like bad faith.
None of the code seems to be a fork Visual Studio Code is indeed not open source. If you grab, the binary from Microsoft it is slightly different than the code on the GitHub repository because Microsoft applies some Microsoft-specific things. The extension repo is closed source as well. It has long been a requested feature for open-source extension repository variants.

Code-OSS is open-source however.

Did you know that in a car you can change the climate control temperate for when the system is "off"?

Try it today. In an old car, set the fan speed to off. Then adjust the temperature. Switch it back and forth a few times and test it.

In a new car you need to turn the fan on, then change the temperature and then turn it off again, in order to change the "off" temperature.

On a touch screen this task requires many seconds of eyes-off-the-road-time to accomplish.

But hey, designers need flexibility because changing temperature is a new concept and they couldn't possibly handle a deadline to work with component selection and other parts of the product team.

The fact that the returned objects are plain old javascript objects (POJOs) that's nice.

The smart module bit, it's a bit scary.

basically all I want is a lightweight layer that exposes a promise api to deal with different databases in a uniform manner.

1) sync to schema.json (this json file contains info of all tables, their columns, indices and foreign keys). I can sync to db or from db. This lets me have my state of schema committed to git, and easily move from dev -> staging -> prod. Django migrations are a giant pain in the ass. Don't do smart fancy node modules either.

2) autogenerated typescript types, this are nice. But again don't do fancy node modules, have the typescript types committable to git repo. It makes it easy to diff and bisect when things fo awry.

3) Super light weight Object -> sql. Access foreign relationships as promises (always). Make it very easy to debug the generated sql for perf reasons. Django does some bits well but it's insanely slow at times. Doing things with raw sql should be just as fast as using a library.
NWS doesn't do regular daily/hourly forecasts beyond a week, but they do publish "extended range outlooks" which provide probabilities for precipitation and temperature in the 6-10 day and 8-14 day range. Pretty low-res in both temporal and geographical resolution, though, due to the uncertainties: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/forecasts/extended_ra...

You could also use the NOAA's global weather simulations, some of which go out to 16 days: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/model-data/model-datas...

There is a fair amount of good faith that would be involved with that, yes. Given testing is still scant, how does one remedy this? I think we can all agree that if someone is sick they should stay home, and ideally everyone who needs should get a test, but I just don't know how to separate the ill from the faking.

Keep trying. I hate to say it, but luck is a factor. The process is by no means objective. Sometimes it's just a matter of getting the right interviewer.
> I was brought up to work diligently, not take on debt, and save

Just keep doing that. Let's talk a worst case. Say coronavirus lasts 18 months and negative interest rates last that long afterwards too. That's three years of negative rates. If it's in the 1-2% range, That's about 3-6% lost by keeping it in cash. So your worst case is 3-6% lost.

Compare that to not working diligently, taking on too much debt, or not saving enough, your worst case of 3-6% is a drop in the bucket. We're likely to do much better than that worst case.

I would, however add an item to your list which might be implicit. Invest your long term savings once you have more than a solid emergency buffer. Find a robo-advisor if you want to keep it simple. In 30 years it'll have grown a ton.
Googler here. I've probably done 150 interviews.

I've never once adjusted my question based on where the candidate was coming from. The idea that people would ease up if they saw FAANG on a resume or a 10+ year career is just not a thing I've ever seen.

There are a few truths in modern tech interviewing:

1. There is a large amount of randomness. Between the question that an interviewer chooses to ask and whether the interviewer is having a really bad day, you might just get screwed.

2. A lot of people are genuinely working really hard to do a good job interviewing. I've seen careful and detailed interview feedback and talked with a huge number of people who really care about interviewing well.

3. Interviewing has less oversight than ordinary work, so some people are bad at it and don't get feedback. Some people get back luck and are assigned one of these interviewers.

4. Interviewees suck at evaluating their experience. This means that when somebody says "I did everything well except I missed some impossible optimal algorithm and they rejected me so that's bullshit" you should become skeptical.

5. Angry people get signal boosted. Online discourse around interviewing is dominated by people with bad experiences.

> The US Navy is replacing touch screen controls on destroyers, after the displays were implicated in collisions.

Unfamiliarity with the touch screens contributed to two accidents that caused the deaths of 17 sailors, said incident reports.

Poor training meant sailors did not know how to use the complex systems in emergencies, they said.

Sailors "overwhelmingly" preferred to control ships with wheels and throttles, surveys of crew found.

I'm not sure, NWS does a good job of interpolating for regions without a weather station, even taking into account coastal effects and elevation. In my experience (in a rural, montane environment) it works pretty well if you specify your coordinates, not just the zipcode.

Have there any been any comparisons of the commercial services to NWS? That would be an interesting casual study.

Hoarding is a small aspect of current shortages. I'll pick one example at random:

Gyms are closed, so go try to find a squat rack, a bar, and some bumper plates for a home gym. Or dumbbells. Or even some crappy resistance bands. You can't. Nobody is hoarding 45lb plates for future use, they're demanding them for use now. Expand this for every industry impacted by shutdown orders. It wouldn't take long to think of hundreds of examples of non-hoarding shortages.

Inflation is coming. Shortages are the market telling you that price MUST increase to equalize demand. And it will.
Yeah IANAL obviously. I'm from Europe and basically treat them as non-binding suggestions. In my layman's understanding they aren't valid as nobody reads or signs them, but be aware that your local court may decide otherwise if push comes to shove.

Massive is great and we certainly took some inspiration from it (in fact we're friends with Dian, the author of Massive and are fans of her works).

The level of type-safety when using Prisma Client with TypeScript is indeed a major factor that sets Prisma apart from other DB libraries in general (not Massive in particular).

Would also love to hear what other people think of the two in comparison! :)

I didn't express skepticism towards anyone involved. Rather,was basing my opinion based purely on the facts I saw presented in the article.

1. Amazon told him to self quarantined because he had been exposed, to not return to the place of work for 2 weeks
2. He came back before the 2 weeks was up
3. The fired him for it

Given those facts, action 3 seems reasonable. I even prefaced my thoughts indicating that they the actions only reason reasonable if I my understanding of the situation is correct.

Turns out, my understanding of the situation was incorrect. More information was presented. If that information is also true, then their actions (firing him) no longer seem reasonable.

I actually don't think it should be legal for a platform to buy software and then remove it from a competing platform. It's incredibly anti-competitive.

"Masks don't work" and "save them for health workers" was always nonsensical and covering for the fact we had not prepared for a known threat.

Of course it was.

But they weren't considering the possibility that the people they were charged with "protecting" would be capable of independent thought.

> Also, the notion that racial slurs are "the price of admission" is something you seem to have brought up - not me

> Many see getting called slurs as a small price to pay to get a chance to break into tech.

I'm still having trouble believing anyone who isn't a frothing racist can pass off "many" getting called racial slurs on the job as just business as usual. Or, "a small price to pay."

Whereas what I was saying is that the policies which you cited incentivisng more diverse applicants to apply doesn't even begin to counter the ubiquitous prejudice in hiring and on the job. If it did, minorities and women would be over-represented in tech rather than under-represented.

The whole "minority free pass" idea is what grates on me. Plenty of hiring managers have unconscious biases against women, minorities, older candidates, people with disabilities, etc. So, it's throwing more diverse candidates into a situation where diverse candidates are going to be disproportionately rejected.

But the employers who actually incentivize diverse candidates are also frequently over-emphasized despite it being an uncommon practice. The boilerplate EEOC "we encourage diverse candidates to apply" statement is usually just that: an empty boilerplate put there for legal purposes, backed with zero action behind it. More often than not, it's nothing close to what you've described above

I've always been very happy with Honda's car interfaces. Everything from basic driving stuff to climate control and the radio seem... well, not great, but simply, fine. Most other manufacturers seem to have some trick up their sleeve, with crazy turn signal mechanisms or some other nonsense. I think they have relatively sensible people working in that department.
SAML typically uses RSA-OAEP or RSA-PKCSv15 for KEM. You usually get the cert from that from the SP (since otherwise you hold the private key), so I'm not sure how that goes sideways. The SP might still use the same encryption keys for each peer, but that should be fine.

You're right that per-SP pairs are still the right answer and for the reason you point out: much wider support.
