> I had tried it a while back stopped because anytime you go into or out of video streaming it would black out the whole screen for a second or two before starting to buffer the content. It’s particularly annoying if trying to search for a particular episode of something.

That‘s the correct behavior though and not specific to the Apple TV. Any device that actually does switch and match the content’s frame rate will cause the output display to resync/adjust with a short black screen. The alternative of not adjusting frame rate is much worse and it’s such an underrated problem in video playback in my opinion. The Apple TV handles this better than most devices.
One use I could see for these long term is getting people outside the circumference of a very congested road traffic area so they could then use ground transport. A small reduction in localized congestion can make a huge difference for even those in it.

When contemplating how much software is closed vs open and specifically in the context of the value of github profile/activity for hiring, I am much more inclined to count the production and maintenance activity (the dollars and human hours) not the deployment count.

I don't think it's the quality of the probe so much as whatever is in the fluid you are measuring. There are simple reactions going on and much less simple ones, including biological stuff accumulating.

An additional problem I've seen is that the temperature sensor for compensation is almost always supposed to be on the circuit rather than in the probe or external. Which is fine in some applications but useless for example for heated aquariums.

If you don't want to recalibrate the probe all the time you probably need to figure out a solution to have the probe in a compartment that gets flooded with clean water vs sample fluid.
You can already get these sensors and boards for around 20$ all the time.
Coronavirus: Russian vaccine shows signs of immune response
Yup. This seems like it was probably a well-intentioned design decision initially: "If a user copies a list won't they expect a list when they paste?"

However the myriad variations on rich text these days make it hard to predict what the actual expected paste result would be.

> github for project discovery

Honestly I don't think I've ever "discovered" a project simply by searching/browsing github itself. Usually it is through places like reddit and HN, and blog posts when searching for how to do something. I've never gone to github and just searched for some random project name...

On the other hand I also don't use github "stars", which I see more and more people talk about, so maybe some people use github differently than I do.

Speak for yourself. The Magic Mouse fits my hand exactly the way I use it, which means it doesn’t “fit” it.

Before it, I had a thick Logitech that was perfectly molded to be held; Too bad that my hand never actually fully touched it because I move the mouse with my fingers alone while the wrist mostly stays still.

I don’t know any professionals who consciously slide the wrist across the table, moving anything more than the fingers.

Apple mice seem universally hated, and I’m not trying to change anybody’s mind, but I’ve held the same exact mouse since 2009 for daily work and I wouldn’t replace it (except for gaming, which I no longer do)
> The Gates foundation has a interest in keeping estimates of the population down low.

The paper says:

Role of the funding source
The funders had no role in study design, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, or writing of the report. All authors had full access to all the data in the study and had final responsibility for the decision to submit for publication.

I can tell from experience that this is not true.

Sure, a lot of great people do not contribute to open source, yet I do (maintain a sizeable popular project), and nearly half of the interviews spend a good time discussing the work I do in opensource.
I bought an Ergodox EZ because I wanted to try out the wonderful mechanical keyboard feedback that many blog posts talk about. The tactile feedback in particular; as I didn't want to bother my colleagues, I bought Blue Zilents from Zeal PC [1], which were a nice upgrade from the Cherry Browns - silent, regular, good tactility.

I never really got what I was looking for. While the keyboard "felt nice", the extra travel seemed excessive when compared to the standard Mac keyboard (2015 model), and the tactility didn't really improve my typing. Rather, due to the ortholinear layout of the Ergodox, and the keyboard not having room for the Danish characters (æÆ, øØ and åÅ) which I use every day, I spent a lot of time configuring first the keyboard layout, then my brain to fit it. And in spite of the silent switch choice, I could never be as ninjaish as on my Mac keyboard.

The final straw, however, was when I read a blog post that confirmed my general feeling about the sluggishness of the keyboard; the software that the keyboard runs internally means another hurdle in the signal path from my button press to the computer reacting, and a huge one when compared with other keyboards. Regardless of how much I practiced, the keyboard would _never_ feel as fast or responsive as I'd like it to, and consequently, my efforts into improving my typing would probably proceed at a poorer rate than it could have.

I reverted to the Mac keyboard, and I'm happy!

This isn't intended as an Ergodox bashing. Personally, I learned from the experience that a) Mechanical keyboards are not for me, and b) The Ergodox certainly isn't for me. And, possibly, that c) The butterfly mechanism of the 2015 Macbook Pro is actually a perfect fit for me. But I also learned a more general lesson, which is d) To keep critically pursuing alternative interfaces, _especially_ when I'm experiencing fatigue or pain, and e) That regardless of the interface, repetition can be hurtful. In my future home office, I hope to have more than one pointing device and more than one keyboard, so that I can switch it up once a while - use an vertical mouse rather than a horizontal one, or switch to a touchpad or Wacom when I feel like it. And the same for the keyboard; changing the angle of the board (angles in the case of a physically split board), strapping keyboards to my thighs, using keyboard with different switch mechanisms and key layouts. And, of course, getting away from the keyboard, stretching, and looking into the distance :)

Take care of yourselves, fellow keyboard warriors!

In C,

char * a;

declares a variable, `a` that, when dereferenced using the `*` operator, will yield an int.

In C++, the same line declares a variable, `a`, of type `pointer-to-int`.

C cuddles the asterisk up to the variable name to reflect use. C++ cuddles it up to the type because it's a part of the type. Opinions don't really differ on whether C-style or C++-style is better, but a lot of cargo-cult programmers don't bother adjusting the style of the code snippet they paste out of Stack Exchange so you see a lot of mixtures.

These studies are fascinating but I think they should stay away from such detailed predictions as 'in the reference scenario, the USA was forecasted to once again become the largest economy in 2098'.

Here is my take on explaining password hashing for a non-technical audience:

I've been a hiring manager for 10+ years and I've used the candidate's code on GitHub for helping pre-interview screening decisions numerous times. Good code on GitHub is a good sign, of course I can change my mind after actually interviewing the candidate.

This phrase from the article over simplifies this and is frankly childish: "People still seem to think that you can figure out how talented a developer is merely by looking at their open source contributions"

Duh. It says that some people "still" think that you can do that by "merely" looking at their OSS contributions. But maybe, just maybe, others can use it "merely" as a data point.
Technically, a hash is a one-way encryption. If it's hashed, it's still encrypted.

> And despite that "distance" there is virtually no difference between C's and C++'s (and often Rust's) performance.

I'm not seeing that in real-world projects though, and it's not only about performance. These are just two random examples from my own experience of where high-level language features get in the way (I guess the TL;DR is: yes, it's possible to write high-performance software in high-level languages, but it's often more effort, and may require to write unreadble and "non-idiomatic" code, because you need to "appease" the compiler much more than in a lower level language):

Yes. The vast majority of developer jobs are primarily working on closed code, and I don't think contributions made in people's free time etc are enough to compensate for that. What I think distorts the perception is that you'll find a lot of open-source code underpinning closed software - but thousands of projects using the same open-source library doesn't increase the amount of open code.
