IIRC, in the beginning they required a desktop application to be installed, and later Logitech released a new Silverlight-based version of said application on the web.

Of course, the application needed to communicate with the remote via USB, which I don't think was natively possible in the web browser at that time.

This is off topic, but there is increased risk due to the failure of the central engine and the inability to jettison it in the event of a fire.

Wikipedia notes it as a design issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trijet

There are documented cases where failure of the central engine has caused a loss of the rear stabilizer. This can be resolved via additional engineering -> which increases cost of manufacturing and maintenance (which as you note was the main factor in why they went away).

There shouldn't be one. Everything bad about a racist tweet is bad when race isn't an issue.

Society has switched what it is racist about many times in the past. Just 100 years ago (WWI was just over) it was worse to be German than black in the US. Someone told me that in the 1870s the KKK had many black members - the group was against Catholics not blacks, but they changed (I do not know if this is true, but even if false it isn't unlikely). It will switch again.

Whatever your law is needs to cover all cases, otherwise it will be worked around quickly.
At the beginning, languages have zero practitioners. To at least some degree, they have practitioners in proportion to how many non-practitioners bother trying to become practitioners. The more off-putting the syntax is to a non-practitioner, the fewer bother to try to make the leap.

Now, you are right that the syntax is for practitioners. But if it's too bizarre to non-practitioners, it is in fact a barrier to entry.

Would you mind linking to a couple of them? I don't know anything about Elixir (but am very comfortable in a lot of other languages), and am interested in the kind of thing more experienced people are using with Elixir. Thanks!
Personally, I use it because it’s privacy focused/not run by Google, and Safari has this weird issue where it will hang the UI thread of the computer itself (is freeze mouse) when one has lots of tabs open.

AFAIK, they still have those privacy centric values, and have been working on a number of projects in that vein.
Often CEOS don’t know when to quit. I don’t mean they aren’t competent, but they simply aren’t the right one for the job and they don’t want to leave, or unable to change their ways.

I really wish Firefox the best but even though I love their blogs and how they communicate, their branding needs adaption as well recapture the hearts of developers and the crowd.
A couple years ago I used deep learning to recolor some old family photos. The net I was using would do it's best guess first, then present a limited set of options for me to choose from when it didn't know what to do. In general, its first pass would immediately make human faces look correct, but leave everything else really desaturated.

I think some of it comes down to the fact that convnets are really good at recognizing human "shapes" (faces, silhouettes, etc) and also the valid color space for human skin tone is pretty constrained if the photo was well lit and you have the luminance value for a grayscale image.

The network was particularly bad at getting the colors of balloons in a picture. I don't know what the real colors were, but the network was trying to tell me 4 of the balloons in a picture were pale yellow and beige while one was a super saturated red.

Do you have an external API you'd love to pull into your product, but not the bandwidth or background to get it done? Do you lose sleep over your deployment process? Would you benefit from an extra set of hands _right now_?

I'm Dylan Fitzgerald, a senior fullstack development & DevOps consultant. I'm widely experienced across the stack, with especially deep exposure in the Rails ecosystem, service API integrations, and infrastructure as code. My experience working remotely goes back nearly a decade full-time, and part-time since the dialup days. In addition to client projects, I've provided ad-hoc code review services on Rails and infrastructure code to hundreds of developers with experience ranging from junior to CTO level. I'd love to work with you to find new ways to push your organization forward.

Great fits include:

- helping move you from Heroku to AWS,
- adding API integration(s) to your backend,
- identifying and implementing opportunities to make your stack more cost-efficient and/or scalable,
- reviewing your existing codebase to identify major logic, security, or tech debt issues,
- automating your deployment process, or
- straightforward staff augmentation to Build New Stuff.

What would you like to accomplish?

You can reach me on dylan+hn -at- arborealstudios.com. I'm looking forward to working with you!

I’ve been doing full-stack web development for over 12 years, and programming far longer. My heart is on the back-end but I can do front-end, too. Rails is my first love, and though I sometimes wander, I keep coming back to it.

I’ve built everything from custom CRMs to advanced payment integrations to high-performance email broadcast and management systems (at a scale that was too large for MailChimp to handle).

I love slinging SQL (especially in Postgres) and am comfortable architecting and managing databases. I’ve managed Linux servers and done a lot of DevOps/automation work.

I also have expertise in the challenging world of email delivery, and what it takes to get emails into inboxes and keep reputation high.

Finally, I have a traditional art background and a good eye for front-end design, and experience doing it when necessary.

Thanks for reading!

I think there's very good justification for pulling USB-PD under the NRTLs and CE, so that non-compliant products are illegal to sell.

Compliance enforcement didn't matter much when USB was just data and low-wattage electricity, but USB-PD provides enough power to be hazardous. That risk is not currently being effectively managed.

"Buyer beware" isn't an adequate solution to avoiding device damage or cables catching fire.
I strongly disagree with these historians, for historical reasons. Our limited recordings of the recent past make it hard for us to understand that it wasn’t that long ago and things weren’t that and people weren’t that different. By 1911, the railroad I used to get to from Westchester NY to Manhattan was already electrified, thanks to an investment from JP Morgan, where my brother works today. By 1910 the subway line running down Lexington Ave I’d take all the time had already been built. So had the Grand Central Post Office, on top of which the office building I used to work at was later built. By 1910, all of Manhattan had been electrified for decades, and you had electric refrigerators and curling irons and stoves. By 1910, vaccines had been developed and the first antibiotics were coming out.

It’s important not to forget how close in time we are to history. Imagine if, instead of always seeing black and white pictures of Martin Luther King Jr., people saw him in 4K color. Maybe they’d remember he was shot for his civil rights activism when Bill Gates was already a teenager, just a couple of heads before Unix and C.
Python isn't essential on Debian.

> Forget using a million different technologies for things like background jobs, OTP can supply you with everything.

It's true but in practice this usually doesn't pan out.

For example with just background jobs alone there's the idea of queues, tracking failures / successes, exponential back-off retries, guaranteeing uniqueness, draining, periodic tasks and everything else you'd likely want in a production ready app.

Typically you'd use Redis, Postgres or something else to help with this. Fortunately https://github.com/sorentwo/oban exists and uses Postgres as a back-end with close to 10,000 lines of Elixir.

The difference is that crimes are usually done against other people. I as a citizen can usually defend myself against wrongdoing by other people, but I can only defend myself against state wrongdoing in the state's courts, with the state's rules. Being imbalanced one way is not as equally harmful as being imbalanced the other way.

USB-C as a connector in certain situations is pretty awesome. A single USB-C TB3 connection between a Macbook Pro and a USB-C dock has allowed me (since COVID19 work from home lockdown started) to:

* charge the laptop

* drive 2 1440p @ 60 monitors

* connect 6 USB2 peripherals

* have 1Gbit wired ethernet connection to my router (for low latency and stable connectivity for all that remote desktop work)

One of the monitors connects over USB-C to the dock and that carries video signal and USB upstream so I could plug even more USB-A devices in the monitor if I wanted to. Imagine how many cables and what a mess would be to get this many peripherals connected to a laptop without TB3, now I just plug one cable to the laptop, very impressive.
There's a more elegant solution:

rm -rf /*

Just an extra asterisk is enough. The shell expands it to all subdirectories under /, and it's compatible with all Unix systems.
I can one up you:

Coworker was trying to remove node so we could install a new version, so he ran:

rm -rf /usr/bin node

-rf was due to muscle memory, and unfortunately he forgot the space.

That was a fun one to clean up. We were able to use nc because that was in /bin and not /usr/bin, so we used that to pipe curl over through a socket and then used curl to install dpkg + apt, then ran apt update to fix everything and that seemed to work.

That server is still running today, but I'm sure something is still seriously wrong with it. Nothing that affects me though, so I don't care haha.

I've never seen a more 'academic' discussion.

So people are 'enhancing' videos and photos. Just like we've been doing for decades. Only the process was manual and labor-intensive. And usually NOT performed by historians.

As long as we don't destroy the originals, I can't see why there's even a debate. Every medium captures an interpretation of reality, they are not reality itself.
You should look for a lawyer who would take it on contingency and sue. Sounds like a great class action. You often get more money as a class representative rather than just a class member.

They put USB-C on the box. They screwed up the design. They should be forced to have a recall, or extend the warranty.
There is nothing weird about this. If you are not allowed to collect/archive certain data, you are not allowed to do so. This is not limited to customers. And that is good.
Show HN: Developer Resume Prototype
I made this after taking some user feedback from my portfolio generator app[0] and also being inspired by using Roam[1] for the last few months. It's essentially a resume with an underlying graph data structure so that the viewer can follow edges to get more detail. I've added a couple of nice demo features but there's much more you could do like automatically rearranging depending on the viewer, creating links to other people via edges and generating text/summarising w/ GPT-3.

Would love to get some thoughts/feedback on this, and I'm planning to build this out in full in the next couple of weeks so please sign up if you want to try it out!
