Just ordered a Herman Mill Aeron from Crandall. They have a 10% off sale going on. 2 year warranty. It is taken apart, inspected, damaged parts replaced, steam cleaned, new cylinder, and put back together. Free Shipping (both ways if you do not like the chair).

I got bigger cylinder and better casters. Paid around $530 with discount. Could have gotten a used chair off of CraigsList for $350 and taken a chance. To be sure this chair is expensive. My current chair cost $89 and I hate it. This Aeron is hopefully my last chair. I'm old and spend a lot of time contest programming.

Appreciate all the comments people made. Really helped me to make a decision. Shows we are all in this together especially now. Thanks.
Sorry, I misinterpreted leveling. It was an ICT4 role. Can't update my comment, so I will just leave it here as-is.
Oh, I don't mind that at all. All these ideas would need to be be benchmarked anyway :)

But ever since implementing a naive (backed by 2d array) game of life, I from time to time play with the idea of trying for something much higher performance. I'm not sure if this one scales to 30fps at 4k for example (maybe it surpasses that on modern hw!). That's the kind of target that'd be fun to aim for. Quite possibly using the frame buffer for state is more efficient anyway.
Why not? Is Apple the measure for everything these days?
Contact Discovery is not seen as privacy invasive, I guess. It says, X has Signal, but that's it. So I see how it is, strictly speaking, broadcasting 'private' information, but it is hard to care terribly. I'm far more concerned by the privacy of my conversations than the fact I at one point installed signal.
Perhaps the parent is downvoted not because of the underlying content of the message, but because of the black/white framing.

Every tool has a barrier to use, and even with a strong commitment to security/privacy, Signal seems to have decided that it's more beneficial for their users know which one of their friends are on Signal, than there is potential for abuse. Further, there may come a time where this calculus changes, for example, if spammers arrive on the Signal platform and start decreasing usability.
https://monosnap.com/welcome is very good too. I use it with this Alfred script https://github.com/iammapping/alfred-uploader if I need to upload stuff to a public URL.

Several years ago my bank had to store three signatures because I couldn't (and still can't) produce two identical ones. Last year I had to update some documentation and they had to store two more signatures, so now I have 5, but any other signature will be different anyway.
The reason is likely that, as a leftie, since being a kid I had to suffer a few attempts to force me writing with the right hand, something I trained by myself much later in my 20s out of curiosity, but quickly forgot due to lack of practice. I never perfected my horrible handwriting and resorted to block capitals immediately after school; then computers and printers solved the problem. Unfortunately it seems there's no way to get rid of this archaic thing called signature that for me translates into wasting lots of time; I'd rather leave a blood sample on paper if I could:)
Giving a try. Why not red annotations though? It's like industry standard when doing screenshots and working on it.
Strangely enough, there's multiple sci-books with civilized elephants. Footfall, Poseidon's Children, etc..
My daughter has been TAing for undergrad intro-to-programming courses at her university (she is ugrad too). Her heart was broken more than once when she discovered how blatantly people she otherwise liked a lot would cheat.

Initially it posed quite a dilemma for her since she had the power to give zeros for cheating, we determined the best course of action is to forward the evidence to the professor and forget about it.
Artists often also sell access to higher-quality, longer, looped, or stemmed versions, work with clients to remix compositions, and/or give away compressed versions for free use.

These also serve as demo reels for commissioned work or to sell licenses that don't require attribution/share-alike/other CC restrictions.
Are you familiar with the instrumentation on nuclear plants? I can’t imagine there are high tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of variables let alone sensors to be monitored. On the hydro plants I work on there are about 1000 variables per turbine generator unit and another 1000 for the substation and river system that are centrally recorded.
This looks identical to the Sencha products [0]. Especially, their ExtJs framework [1].

Both the name and even their examples [2] look practically like copies. Although, ExtJs does seem more fleshed out and way more full fledged [3]. They seem to have bindings with other frameworks too, like React and Angular [4].

The ExtJs framework started as an open source project ages ago. Is this some kind of a fork from then?

Well, if you insist, sure, but social networks are focused on people while forums are focused on topics (news article etc.). The difference is significant enough that some people may post on various forums all day long but never on Twitter or FB.
Yes -- I figured this would be popular feedback. We're considering how to do this!
Firstly, thanks for your work on what is really a great project. Can we set stereo=1 in the SDP and also the bandwidth constraint? That would make it ideal for this use case.

For music quality webRTC you need 3 things: disable audio processing, stereo=1 in the SDP and a way to limit bandwidth usage so it doesn't saturate the available bandwidth and create errors.

Disabling video is also really the best thing to do when recording for this reason (bandwidth saturation), and also Chromium will give you much superior experience. Safari and Firefox isn't quite there yet: Safari can't let you choose your output device and lacks some other useful features, and Firefox doesn't yet seem to allow stereo Opus, maybe that's changed since I tested. Microsoft Edge is now Chromium so you're good to go.

That seems weird. The virus makes it through all of your defenses, which seems like the hard part, and then gets beaten once inside?

It's like the Trojan horse coming in, and the soldiers, once inside, getting arrested for tax evasion before they can open the gates.
Are you saying every airline should have held cash reserves (really more likely to be bonds or other investments) sufficient to sustain them through a total wipeout of their entire customer base for months on end? A scenario that has never happened before in the history of commercial aviation?

Resources tied up in cash buffers are resources not deployed elsewhere, after all.
They have similar IDs, but they are IDs not authentication methods in and of themselves. SSNs are Bearer IDs that the knowing of is proof of identity, which is dumb.
That's not actually not an ID card dumb as it seems. It's an IOU that says that a collection of documents that are enough to prove your identity to the government were produced to an agent. It's a cert.

Assuming the "standard path" in the US the pieces of your ID are your birth record, any court ordered name changes (like if you got married), your social security card, and a previous cert that ties the name to a photo.

I know it's pedantic but god damn it's annoying as hell that a passport doesn't actually prove anything or else you could always do $old_valid_passport + $valid_photo = $new_passport but nope. Sometimes you hit special cases that drop you into having to prove your identity from your ID documents all over again.
This is Service Station, my new Mac app launching today.

It's a modern macOS Finder Extension that lets you customize the Finder's right-click menu. On the Mac App Store.

Add your favorite applications for any file type. Or run scripts directly from Finder.

'Open Terminal from Finder' being one of its best features. Just right-click the background of any Finder window.

Excited to see how people use Service Station to customize their Mac! Let me know if any questions.
Not if your business relies on trust.
i think its possible to analyze signatures in various ways that are hard to replicate. but a copy is always just a copy. What i beleive the thing here is that there are court proven ways to analyze writing styles in signatures and some more forensic methods to analyze paper and pen.

as a side note: every time i get a new passport or id card i get told that my signature is not ok as it is (apparently not enough recognizable characters) but when confronted with the question how they would like me to change my signature as seen on all previous documents signed by me they shut up. I think its funny because it probably makes it even more unique.
That seems a bit extreme and not really consistent with the attitude he took in his public lectures and in Surely You're Joking. It amounts to giving up and saying that you can't explain basic physical phenomena to laypeople on any level.
>However, I need to nitpick the author, what he calls compile time, is "compile time" only in the world of frontend development (and in most of the case is not a compilation step).

I run into that issue with a lot of web frontend terminology. Sometimes, it is harmless, like calling it "tree shaking" instead of the more standard "dead code elimination". Other times, it can cause a large amount of confusion, like with "client-side rendering" and "server-side rendering". In all other contexts, "rendering" refers to the generation of an image. Yet somehow in web development, "rendering" refers to the generation of HTML, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the generating of an image to display to the user.
Matters for what? A database is a tool to solve a problem, not a timeless repository of deep cultural meaning.

If I make a webapp that is only localized in English, display, first, last will let me solve my common problems: I need to say "My account (John Smith)" in the corner (display name), and I want to be able to write emails that say "John, we know you're wondering how company that sold you a pair of pants three years ago is feeling about COVID-19…" (first name) and list articles by author sorted by last name. Those are all common use cases for apps used by English speakers.

Now, if I were making an app to do voting in Myanmar, I would need to deal with there not being last names for many Burmese. If I was trying to track Arab speaking terrorists around the world, I'd want a long list of their aliases and kunya in multiple romanizations (I think the CIA used to prefer "UBL" for Osama bin Laden because they called him "Usama"). If I was making a library app, I might want to have the English romanized name plus the Unicode native language name. Tons of possible problem spaces with different solutions.

I just think tagging the different name parts for "Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez" is going to be overkill for most English language apps because when are you going to look someone up by maternal family name versus of just doing a full text search for "Garcia Marquez".
Seems like a silly question. It's flu season, and there will be another next year and the year after.

So, like the default Windows 10 snipping tool or does it offer some cooler features?
They're secure in the sense of being low-risk for active content shenanigans and a small surface area for vulnerabilities. Attacking a network through a .tiff of a fax is a lot harder than attacking it through an email, pdf, word doc, http session, etc.
The books read quite easy. The first book is just stories from google; it doesn’t really prescribe anything- it’s a collection of people talking about what SRE means to them and also how it fits together with “devops”.

The second book (the SRE workbook) is more prescriptive, walks through practical ways of implementing it.

The most base description of SRE principles is simply that:

1) You automate aggressively and develop or use self-service tools as much as possible (over ops work)

2) you define what “availability” really means; institute an allowance of errors based on budget. Highly reliable systems should get much more attention and budget than lower requirement systems. Make an SLO dashboard; alert based on your “error budget” being eaten too quickly.

3) try to avoid allowing your staff to work more than 50% on operations work; that’s your indicator for being overloaded.
It doesn't, you still have to do the same amount of work to find the collisions.
Agile stories are in a really weird spot lexically then.

See, there's an apparently archaic concept in software called user preference - they could ask people upon joining if they want to be contact-discoverable or not.

The behavior is consistent with the propaganda. According to China, the virus came from outside of China. So of course you protect the rest of China from something that landed in Wuhan.

I'm surprised you didn't just call the author a racist or some other slander. If you wish to debunk his theory, by all means do so. Use research and make your points. Attacking his character and accusing him of a conspiracy theory is not very convincing to those of us who use critical thinking.
I would be more worried about repeating mistakes from the other side of the political spectrum this time, since that's more likely and currently what seems to be happening.
An employer often needs to fill slots, yeah. 24 hour coverage and what not. What is unclear to me is why a company cannot hire more people and each person gets fewer hours. Depending on the profits the company takes, it could even keep those who's pay would otherwise be cut at the same pay (unlikely, I know). I can understand needing extra hours as an employee for sure, but it would be nice to have enough pay _and_ enough time to be a person. The single mom who works two or three jobs and never sees her kids; that sucks.
EARN IT is pretty disingenuous in how it is designed, of course, but I am all for making it harder and harder to retain Section 230 immunity: It's a mistake that we allow it in the first place.

We should indeed continue to erode the eligibility for Section 230 to the point that either the limitations of remaining eligible for immunity makes it easy for competitors to produce better offerings without immunity, or that these companies accept legal responsibility for their actions as a cost to doing business the way they want to. Perhaps this is a vehicle upon which we gradually sunset immunity-reliant platforms.

Section 230's supporters constantly push hilariously insane narratives about it's importance, suggesting that without it companies would be inherently violating the law any time one of their users violated the law, or that taking reasonable measures to prevent platform abuse is "impossible" at the scale Big Tech operates at.

It's more than past time that we regulate tech companies and hold them responsible for massive abuses permitted by their platforms just as we regulate every other sector of business.

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but there are a lot of machine vision cameras available that do not have Bayer filters and are grey scale only.

https://www.baslerweb.com/en/products/cameras/

https://www.alliedvision.com/en/digital-industrial-camera-so...

These cameras most likely DO HAVE a NIR (near IR) filter on the sensors. You would need to check on specific models.

Basler provides some documentation for removing the filter from specific camera models.

Yeah, that's definitely a non-standard use of "static". If I can't just point my browser to a local index.html sitting in a folder somewhere, it isn't a static webpage.

> If you change the header component, and that header component is shown on every page in the site, you will have to give it some time.

To me this invalidates SSG for any busy site with a somewhat large menu. Any time you change the order of some options or rename an item, everything needs to be rebuilt.

If you combine it with something like Edge Side Includes it could work I guess, only rebuilding the part if the page that’s needed.
It's just a brute force so I think it should not matter. Once you find a public key that match what you are looking for you have the same amount of work to do to find the private key.

It would be different if it was to generate a private key that matches the prefix.

Good to think about. I'll check these out and see what they've done (if much) to mitigate that issue. I'd imagine that would need to be front and center, unless they're focused more on internal services.
Not sure why you have that impression. Chris Beard, the previous CEO served from 2014 until December.
The primary feature is speed. We designed Zappy to work "in flow" and minimize the number of keyboard/mouse interactions. The critical path is: cmd+shift+1 (or whatever shortcut you want) -> drag a box -> press "enter" to immediately get a shareable image (or URL for paid) on your clipboard.

In addition to speed, it's an all-in-one tool that does annotations, GIFs, and screen recording (with optional audio and selfie camera) and we optimized those flow for speed, too.

Telegram does the same thing. In fact, so does Instagram, which I find most egregious, since it asks for your number for 2FA purposes then notifies anyone who has your number saved that you’ve joined.

Every coach, recruiter, drug dealer or one night stand I’ve had in my life doesn’t need to know when I sign up to Instagram. Some of them might not have even had my real name until they got that notification.

IMO this should be illegal, now that I think about it.

I'm very interested in seeing Resnet results. Especially FP16 precision running on tensor cores (V100 cards). Please use synthetic input vectors so that the input pipeline is not a bottleneck (as it is often the case, and it varies per framework).

Something I'd like to see massive companies do to is offer lower skilled internships. I had a tough time convincing anyone to hire me coming out of a bootcamp, and I saw a lot of other people in similar situations- even people who I know are much better developers than I am. Internships also tend to require someone to be enrolled in an accredited institution. Offering a simple coding test and a small stipend seems like it would be pretty low risk for a company that has the cash and manpower to run a program like this. Large companies seen uniquely positioned to be able to try something of this size.
They seem to be related, there's a FAQ entry that mentions Sencha Ext JS.

Solution A does not compose well with how Signal does encryption. In order to make this indistinguishable, Signal would basically have to man-in-the-middle all non-existent users. And if one of those users signed up for Signal it would have to stop man-in-the-middling them, causing all the people who were talking with their ghost to observe a key change. It's complicated at best, and sketchy at worst.

Solution B ties in to a bigger argument I won't address
It’s very generous of Gary Hustwit to make his films free right now. He’s being doing one a week. I watched Rams last night and really enjoyed it. Dieter Rams lived in post-war Germany and pretty much invented modern product design. He was hugely influential to Jony Ive and Apple. If you like well-made documentaries about people fully engaged in their craft, I highly recommend it.

Also, check out Objectified which is more about product design in general and features Ives. Helvetica is my favorite Hustwit film, but this comes close if not surpasses it.

Q: Remember that container per HTTP request demo?
It's been a long time, but I remember seeing a live demo of a stack (erlang, iirc,) that spawned a new container/vm for every http request, printed some metrics, and terminated itself. Of course, now I can't find it with the obvious keywords & google. Was hoping that someone else here remembered the demo, and can remind me?
I disagree. I spent a few months with it and it was a bit of a nightmare. It fits certain use cases and AWS and others push it as a good use case for more than it should be.

Have geo data? Need a count? Need to look something up for your team member and you don't have time to setup BI tools? Want to query something differently because of design changes? The answer is pretty much no or you can but it'll take some extra thing for all of those.

We ended up picking up an Aurora Serverless and it is working just fine. We can quickly make changes as business cases change, our entire team can query it for now (until we have fancier tools on the biz end), and we are able to move much more quickly.
