Relay Pro (relaypro.com) is launching a beta for API access to our Relay device. I figured some of you might be interested in signing up and trying it out. Relay is a small portable cellular connected button with API access to GPS, LED Lights, Microphone & Speaker. It's rugged and durable, waterproof and drop resistant. Beta access is free for the first 3 months ($149/year after that).

Stuff you can use it for:
Control other cloud connected IoT devices (doors, fans, thermostats),
Create a doorbell in a remote location (ask to record their name so you know who's there), Voice search against a cloud database, Audible/LED alerts when thresholds are triggered (think pager with Siri)

If you're interested, you can sign up for early access to the REST API here:

If we get to large scale text generation like that, we are all going to have to become even better skimmers due to how the meta language will evolve.

So take your standard press release. We know about two thirds of it is just fluff. In other words, we are accepting the mass of fluff as one word in our language, it translates to ‘ignore’.

Our own language will change in that case.

Yeah, I agree. It was very questionable to not arrest him the instant he got fired, and inexcusably stupid to not bring him into custody yesterday.
> hold the end of the standard, and give it a pull, which would turn the “out of reach” key as you turned yours. It was “officially unofficially official” in his (translated) words, to be done in the case of the incapacitation of the other launch control officer.

This is a reason why USSR never adopted a end-to-end PAL like US did. Union's PAL system only worked on the command chain level, and the remote launch command was only one of multiple options.

They feared that the US may attack the PAL link component, and it will prevent the launch. The same reason lead to mobile launchers being made one man operable, though even colonel level officers had little knowledge of the system operation besides "press buttons like on this picture if given code word blah-blah"

It is good that now we have Ukrainian launch officers that can divulge information on Soviet launch tech. The part of strategic rocket forces that stayed in Russia managed to keep secrecy perfect for 30 years.
Brand New Tube – About Us
It's sad how bad the echo chamber is getting recently.

Yet another black man dead to police violence and it gets flagged when a post about it stays up. This happened days ago (George Floyd being murdered, not this arrest), this is the 1st post to stick and gets flagged instantly, but there are how many posts about the Twitter/Trump fued?

Seems more and more recently that we simply aren't allowed to discuss certain things here at all. Pretending they aren't happening because discussion would be too hard doesn't make them go away.

edit to clarify George Floyd died days ago
They aren't async by nature, just time consuming. Async is a useful way of dealing with time consuming operations in some situations, but blocking calls also a work (and make more sense for some workloads.)
The other team a block away was white and didn't get arrested.
Twitter Places Warning on a Trump Tweet, Saying It Glorified Violence
If it were only the reporter arrested, I could believe it was racism. Since the other two were arrested, not so much. It also helps that they seemed to have been the only camera in the area. I have been unable to find any other video of the arrest.
My argument is that looter, who is willingly committing a crime, shouldn't expect people on the other side to stand by. If it's bad faith to keep up public order and guard private property, then so be it.

If looters know that if they don't obey to orders nobody will punish them, that's flat-out enabling such behaviour. People who are willing to loot don't care about niceties, they're just looking for opportunities.

The main problem is that "loot/shoot" could be abused by shooting peaceful protesters and we need safeguards to clearly separate protesters from looters.

However, IMO it's on protesters to single out looters, stop them and, ideally, give them to police. In my country, it's usual for protest organisers (legal or not) to make a point that any bad behaviour will be reported to police and they'll do whatever they can to help out police. Thus police is more relaxed and thugs don't have as many opportunities. If the crowd would be defending thugs.. Well, now that is "glorifying violence" :/

> For example, a database library can give you an opaque connection object which you can pass to other code in the library. Sometimes that object will have parts that are visible to other code in the library, but not to you. Similarly, a UI library can give you UI objects that play nicely with other code in the library, and so on.

Right, and all those objects are consumed by functions of that “library”, so you just refer to those functions in your import statements and have build system take care of fetching them for you. No reason to download every single artifact the library provides to achieve that.

Re: Twitter consistent policy

Twitter does have a consistent and long track record of allowing violent Twitter posts by the military personnel of nation states.

Distinguishing acceptable violent speech and unacceptable violent speech is to Twitter a complicated exercise in navigating power and ideology in 2020 America.

A petaflop/s-day is a nice unit because it's roughly what you get from running the fastest AI accelerators for a day. The V100 they used is 0.13 petaflop/s FP16, for example, and the recently announced A100 ups that to 0.3.

I'm using a ready-made sensor for this. It's the same system I'm using for temperature and humidty measurement. It's proprietary [0], but someone reverse engineered it [1], so I can send the data via MQTT to home-assistent. I then wrote an automation using Node-RED. It get's triggered when the window opens. After an initial timeout of five minutes, it will compare the inside temperature and humidity with the outside temperature and humidty, and decide if it should wait another five minutes or fire off a notification. If you close the window before, it will stop everything and reset itself.

Trump was talking literally about directing the military to shoot looters (it's right there in the tweet!), not expressing an abstract right of people to defend their own property.

So no, downvoting you isn't anything to do with the constitution.
> the world changes so fast that the big incumbents usually get beaten by fast-moving and focused startups.

I'm not sure this is as true as founders hope. Yes, startups take the lead when change occurs. But then they also take on all the risk, fight it out with similar startups, and a few years later often get purchased by one of the old incumbents. And in those purchases, some specific founders get rich, but many others fail, and many devs work quite hard and don't end up where they thought they would.

At the same time, the big incumbents get to just sit back and let other people fight it out, then re-buy their market share in the future.
He is on my testimonials but we’ll be getting a refresh soon :-)
I agree, mostly.

An example of "close enough" for me is the IdeaVim plugin[1] for JetBrains IDEs. It supports all the features I need to be quite productive, including registers. The killer feature is that it reads in an `~/.ideavimrc` file, in which I can just `source ~/.vimrc`.

I wish more apps had that level of Vim support. Loading a `vimrc` file like that would be a killer feature for a notetaking app.

By definition, a popular thing will appeal to the lowest common denominator. I don't mean this in a derogatory way; not "to the average dumb person" but "to something we all share". I think as a consequence of that, popular music will be simple, easily consumable, have very little impact on an individual, and be easily forgotten / make room for the next one.
> You see how arbitrary your perception of reality really is.

This is the thing that worries me, as I had solipsistic tendencies ever since as a child I try to figure out a way to check if everybody perceives color in the same way. It can be problematic when you are dealing with a group of people who are really enthusiastic about something and you just cannot get the feeling out of the back of your head that what they are enthusiastic about is just some random filter layed over an reality which might not even intrinsically contain the notion of time and space.

Are such feelings more intense after an LSD trip?

Airflow is great, honestly the biggest gotchas are passing time to operators which someone has mentioned in the thread already and setting up the initial infra is a bit annoying too. Other than that though as a batch-etl scheduler and all around job scheduler it's pretty great, it's really a very user friendly and it's graphical interface simplifies a lot of the management process. I see a lot of people prefer the non graphical libs here like Luigi or Prefect and to each there own but I really do prefer having that interface in addition to the pipelines as code line of thinking.

I also see a lot of people saying it's a solution for big companies and the like, I heavily disagree it's useful for any size company that wants to have better organization of their pipelines and provide an easy way for non technical users to check on their health.

Comments like these make me feel like VR proponents are just people who don't know TrackIR exists.

I'm not sure VR can really compete with a device that for ~200$ allows you proper view directed freelook in loads of games without having to seal your eyes off under a visor. With a modestly sized panel I didn't notice any less immersion using head tracking versus a (for me, highly annoying) head-encasing visor.

It also leaves room for having sim-appropriate peripherals that you can actually use because they aren't obscured by the screen.

Just my experience having tried both and being a big simulation enthusiast (flight sim, driving, arma milsim, all that stuff).
I disagree, this is not a dupe. That is a fluff piece for the company about how they did the hard legwork of signing up customers. This post suggests that they're fraudulently registering these business as their own.

On my mac VSCode sits at ~380MB without any files open, but opening one empty plaintext file brings that up to 460MB, opening one tiny Lua (a language known for being especially small and efficient) file makes that 500MB, and opening a second tiny Lua file makes that 535MB.

One thing I've learned is that many coworkers really struggle with writing. They are amazing talkers - they work in sales most of the time. But they rarely write anything more than bullet points in a powerpoint deck.

It's a bit sad, but understand that people have different backgrounds and education. Perhaps their schooling, back in the 1960's / 70's, did not prioritize writing skills? It's just really odd to me because every single job I've ever applied for always said "must be able to excel in written communication", so why should the standard for my colleagues be different?

Yes, this is the mechanic, ultimately. Partial application vs structs/objects/tuples are just two different solutions for the same problem. Arguably they may even reduce down to the same underlying solution (to the extent that closures are objects behind the scenes).

For anyone still doubting WD is at fault here, as I was (because I thought these were obviously inferior drives not appropriate for RAID or 24/7 operation), just look at the product page [1] which is still, as of Fri 29 May 13:50:16 UTC 2020, claiming that WD Red drives are "Built for NAS compatibility" and "Designed for RAID environments".

[1] https://www.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-r...

If some Red drives (most probably the SMR ones) require many day rebuild times or even fail to rebuild in common commercial consumer NAS solutions, they are obviously not viable for RAID environments and then WD is guilty of false advertising.
I suspect that part of the reason that these types of things are so successful, is that restaurants tend to have God-awful sites, if any site at all.

The good ones work by word-of-mouth, so SEO doesn't mean squat to them.

They also run on razor-thin margins, so they don't spend a dime they can't see immediate, measurable ROI on.

I have a couple of friends that own restaurants. One of them is a really well-known (local) place with a tasting menu that costs about $250/per person (cash-only).

When I was getting started setting up Web sites (I did a lot, but always for free, for NPOs), I offered to do their sites for free.

They declined, and their sites sucked, for YEARS.

Didn't hurt their business at all.

Now, they have sites, but their domains are an SEO graveyard, because they waited so long (I guess an AngelFire subdomain wasn't really that good an idea, in hindsight, eh?).

I'll bet they are representative of many restaurants, which tells me that this is a well-fertilized field for this kind of scam.
At least their entire IronWolf line (which is their NAS line) seems to be free of SMR.

I for one agree with you. There are some hip-hop artists, some of whose tunes seem interesting and deep. But I am turned off by the braggadocio, weed shoutouts, and the tendency to simply rap about rapping found in these artists' work and across the genre in general.

In searching for hip-hop without braggadocio etc., I have repeatedly been told by hip-hop aficionados that these tropes are inherent to the genre and it would be unreasonable to seek hip-hop without them, just like oldies rock was inherently about dancing or sweethearts, and country music about personal woes and drink.

It is a shame, because the genre seems to have the potential for more lyrically. Hip hop is now a global phenomenon with innumerable performers. Is there really no hip-hop out there with a more abstract lyrical approach, like for example Climate of Hunter-era Scott Walker?
Why doesn't AWS SES allow generating receiving addresses without giving a domain, like `<uuid>@inbound.ses.amazonaws.com` or something - there wouldn't be a reputational risk if it was incoming only right? That would be awesome.
