Very slightly more expensive when you hit a sale like this past cyber monday they were $28 each. To build on the plus sides vs wyze, they notify you almost instantly while wyze cams take 12-15 seconds. It has custom detection zones that can be any shape/size polygon, not just a square. I was most disappointed with the wyze outdoor having a hardcoded detection zone... and then unlimited detection time with no cooldown between detection which is also part of wyze's subscription service

It's not just your imagination. I tried to look up "how valve index controllers work" and was steered into shopping links and reviews. Not one technical detail about how the Index reads finger gestures. I can't help but suspect Google's algorithm was quite deliberately optimised to steer one into consumerist gestures where it once would steer you into intellectual topics.
I would definitely understand if it isn’t like this for everyone, too!
When someone gets me a gift, I am thankful no matter what it is, useful or not. I don’t get weighing the value of relationships over material goods.

I have a few, its a functional smartwatch that is super snappy and responsive to touch. It does not have the largest feature set, but I can see the time, my heartrate, control the music player on my phone, etc.

The feature set is expanding as people develop for it, and you have a choice in OSes (much like the Pinephone or a Thinkpad can run dozens of diverse OSes)
> or they get some random garbage you don't want and call you ungrateful when you don't like it.

If you don't like a gift the etiquette is not to say "thanks I hate it" but to gratefully accept the gift and pretend it's awesome. Receiving a gift is not all about you, it's equally for the giver. Research shows there are huge benefits to giving gifts, so pretending you like it is a gift in itself.
The 25 Best Episodes of This American Life
(1) Simplistic because it isn't binary, solved vs. not solved. There's still improvement to do in the solution. And we won't really know if it's “solved” until we start trying to use these structures for practical purposes. Don't mean to detract from the accomplishment overall though, it seems tremendous.

(2) There is a certain amount of computing needed for each new protein---quite significant, I think, but not prohibitively expensive. And I'm sure this can be improved over time
I haven't done native development professionally, but it seems to me like dynamic linking is a leftover from a time when memory and even disk space were precious, isn't it? Are the savings really still worth all the breakage? What is Docker but a way to force static linking on programs that were built for dynamic linking?
What did Salesforce do with Tableau, MuleSoft and Quip?
"Small" databases are getting bigger. A laptop can manage a few billion records in a database without breaking a sweat.

At some point you have to ask yourself about the diminishing value of the data you're storing. A sales transaction at a clothing store for $78.50 is worth a lot. The 42nd temperature measurement in as many minutes for a smart home is not.

Features that allow you to treat these different kinds of data differently are going to be important.
Surprisingly little. Maybe things like binding pockets and broad classes of movement (hinges, etc.) can be inferred (sometimes). Otherwise, it's the other way around: the shape of the backbone is determined by the detailed interactions. Just think about alpha helices and beta sheets -- they're stabilized by hydrogen bonding patterns along the protein backbone, but the propensity of a particular residue to form a helix or a sheet is determined by interactions amongst the side-chain atoms in a particular context. The atomic interactions are the story, and the "fold" is really just the outline.

Also, of course, it's not just the atoms in the protein itself: add in water, ions, small molecules, other proteins, etc., and you have a real mess. A small molecule (say, a drug), can displace a water molecule, which has a cost, which causes something else to move a bit to compensate, stretching a bond, and so on and so forth, sometimes resulting in dramatic differences in the bound conformation of a protein. It's not uncommon -- it's essentially the norm. And it's not like there's just one conformation. The whole thing is really like a wiggly, jiggly, metastable mass, and the introduction of a slight perturbation is enough to send the blob spiraling into a new metastable state.

When you start to ask questions about how a protein moves over time, it becomes a much more complicated problem than predicting the overall conformation. Which is itself quite hard.

SQLite 3.34.0 Released
Let's use that example of Austin, Texas. That's a bit near the top range you'll get there, but if you say get a Senior Cloud Engineer position with Deloitte, that is a number you can ask for. A little bit near the top of the range, but if you've got 5-7 years experience and the certs very achievable. Maybe a bit more.

Accenture, which has 3 offices in Austin, would for certain teams come close to that.

Consulting companies for better or worse will be the easiest to hit that number with outside of SF.

Allowing arbitrary binaries to run on NixOS
Hey. Check out Juan Pedro Bolivar Puente's talks om value oriented design. He worked on Ableton which is a large application. He specifically speaks to Undo. He describes a much better pattern than the Command Pattern.

He also released his source for Value Oriented Data structures

Juan Pedro is a next level programmer who I think has pushed the craft forward through his work on bringing Value Oriented Design into the C++ world.

I'm afraid your experience is not universal. There are plenty of people I care very deeply about, yet Facebook reminding me of their birthdays is a godsend. Children I do somewhat better with, but names are always a struggle for me. A friend had triplets a couple months into the pandemic, and I'm still struggling there. Meanwhile a the drop of a hat I can bring to mind some technical detail that I heard once a decade ago and never used.

People's minds work differently, just because something comes easily to you does not mean it does to everyone else.

I was there 10 years ago. I have some video and photos from the observatory. Was pretty awesome place to visit. One of a kind in the wold. But even back then some of the panels looked damaged.

Hard to imagine that an observatory of such scientific importance, would be neglected and allowed to rust away until cable break.

Trump Created The Space Force, and bragged about how much money he gave Puerto Rico after the hurricane. Large projects like this need ongoing government funding. So I'm surprised more was not done to prevent this.

Similar things happened during collapse of the USSR. Major scientific projects just got left behind to rust.

I know that China built a new larger radio telescope, but this one could send out messages.

The observatory helped us map planets, find pulsars, track asteroids, and send messages to aliens.

Yes, it is a display of the power of the giver. Many givers do not interpret their own actions in that way, and yet... Native Potlatch culture in the American northwest is a good example of gifts that signal power.
I don't follow your line of reasoning. You can add speeds (vector space), you can't add temperatures (points in an affine space cannot be added), but you can add temperatures and temperature differentials (points and vectors in an affine space).

Speeds are vectors in the first place, that's why you get to add them, while "temperature" denotes, depending on context, either a point (not addable) or a vector (addable).

This explains why you can't add temperatures, but the average temperature makes 100% sense and has a direct physical meaning.
I think we are on the cusp of the same sort of technological step function we saw leading into WW1. Lethality will be too high and it will accelerate the extreme magnitude of the exchanges.

Thank god they've changed that. Preview or GA is much harder line, where you can't hide behind a beta label for cycles on end. You can see the language in that release "give your business the confidence."

My point was that features were being advertised as essentially GA that were not actually GA. When evaluating the Google Cloud Platform sans-beta features, I was suddenly looking at a much more barren offering, in comparison to AWS.
Because there are always more bugs to be found in unsound software.

This finding is not about this single bug, it's just that someone bothered to scrape the surface.

(Note that 99% of the effort went into crafting the demo exploit once the vulnerability was found, which is basically wasted effort in the context of eliminating vulnerabilities - the vulnerability finding was easy)

I was just thinking about this a few days ago and even made a note to go look them up on archive.org. I think someone shared this a few years ago and it got picked up by buzzfeed (or whatever).

When I worked retail we had this but it was a mini-cd system that looked like a GameCube. My boss was a little bit forced into investing in it because a customer was furious that a P!nk song on the radio had the word "ass" or "hell" in the lyrics. The shuffle on that thing was horrible, sometimes the same song would come up twice and most evenings we just kept it off.
As someone who is utterly awful with names but genuinely remembers people I interact with through the day on campus and at work, Dynalist was what I used to keep track of names with references to where I knew them from. Just whatever would spark my memory.

It wasn't that I didn't care about them, I truly did, but I frequently mix up names of even my closest friends if I'm not paying attention and make great effort to not give others the impression I don't care enough to remember.
Isn’t that just forwarding and cc’ing? I’ll often have long threads where multiple chains will be going within it with different parties brought in.

Not to sound like the Dropbox comment from back in the day, but cc’ing and forwarding are just the basics when it comes to email.
There is a very very narrow area where the ability to create ephemeral chats around email threads is useful: agencies and consultancies. The ability to discuss a client email, workshop a response, and delegate response authority to someone else is a huge game changer for the client services industry. Buuuuuut, there aren't enough agencies out there to justify a $1.3B price tag.

For what it's worth, the answer "Who cares" is I do. Personally, I don't want to be the jerk who can't be bothered to remember names, so I choose to care.

Having said that, as long as you're not a jerk about it, which I don't think you are, I think it's personally fine to admit you've forgotten my name and ask, I'm not that memorable! :)

I think this just shows the value differences we each have from our upbringing and mentors, so it's very interesting.
I have three children aged 2-8 and my spare personal time is typically 9pm-2am. Yes, you lose a lot of freedom. Your routine is different, travel is different. But they're priceless and I would give up much more for any little moment with them.

It's worth mentioning that sleep routine discipline for the kids is worth working towards. Not being free until 11pm is just crazy. We have friends who sit/lie beside their kids for an hour or more until they get to sleep - insane.

Our kids are usually in bed at 7:30 and more often than not, we walk out after saying goodnight and don't hear from them until the morning. If the eldest struggles to get to sleep, he goes out to the living room to read for half an hour and then goes back, but it's nothing that would stop us watching TV elsewhere, working, doing dishes, etc. If the youngest sulks about sleep, being responsive/attentive and caving to demands will not help you in the future.

Doing dishes as you cook is worth it. Cooking more so you have leftovers for the next night is worth it. Combining routine with play (kids help cook, help clean, etc) is useful. Those little helpful things add up and buy you time.

Another one is, if date nights are difficult to schedule (or babysitting expensive), work from home on the same day as your partner or work a four day week, and then go out for lunch while the kids are in school/childcare.
"The (vast) majority of small businesses are not out to grow as fast as possible, seeking that big money valley exit. "

This is nothing to do with what I said though.

A 'mom and pop shop' that isn't doing product, and only needs IT, may still likely be very well served by the cloud because they probably only need a few EC2s and some minor services and frankly that's very cheap relatively speaking.

'Expertise' is quite expensive, and doesn't come into value unless there is some scale in place - I don't mean 'millions of users' but a company that has <50 staffers ... for IT there's no reason they can't be fully cloud.

'Mom and Pop Shops' want to know what a 'rack' is about as much as they want to know what a 'filter' is for their engine. The idea is to get rid of all of that overhead.

We delivered content through several channels (vix.com website, Instant Article, Google Accelerated Mobile Pages, and several feeds to social networks and devices). We went from a heavily-customized Drupal to a custom NodeJS solution with microservices reducing devops costs, enhancing website performance and finally improving the time to add new channels from an average of two week to 8 hours.

I took the opposite message from the article. It describes how difficult it is to concentrate enough resources to successfully attack a hardened defended position, when the defenders can see you coming and destroy you from afar one piece at a time.

Locating the fixed, hardened positions of the defense is relatively easy. Locating the mobile assets of the offense and destroying them before they attack is the new thing.

Scouts and cavalry have had this role this for ages, but drones plus guided munitions are extra good at it.
I have to mention that this is one of the top 3 tools in my personal stack. See some comments below regarding various things I saw in this thread.

Stability:
Been running it for 2+ years now (or is it 3+ already?), no problems whatsoever. I update when the mood strikes - never had to roll back because something wasn't working.

Why:
As someone who considers himself terrible at remembering things, this little piece of software made all the difference re keeping up with people. The e-mail notifications is a killer feature - so simple, yet I've never done it before in my personal inbox.

I think the fact that it's an external service and not inside your inbox matters from a UX perspective. I have this other place where I define the logic, and then receive it in the screen I look at every morning.

Originally came to know of the project years back through https://sive.rs/hundreds, and while he's a bit better (a lot better) at it than I am, I can confidently say I've stayed in touch with dozens of people thanks to Monica. His notion of "ranked lists" also makes sense, at least to me, as a mental framework for managing personal contacts.

Shameless plug (for the creators!):
I 100% recommend Monica, have contributed to it, and am a big big supporter of https://github.com/djaiss (Regis), https://github.com/asbiin (Alexis), et al.

They're actively working on something new now, so if that helps them somehow - link incoming:

https://www.officelife.io/

A personal comment:
There's a (repeating) notion in this thread that keeping up with people is somehow linked to how much you care about them. I care deeply about many people I meet, personally, but I don't think the two are necessarily correlated.

Example: Say I met someone years ago at school, and I thought she was pretty cool. I added her to Monica and I reach out to her once in a while to see what's up. We talk about work, exchange some personal stories, and go our separate ways. I might not think about her for months at a time, but then - quite intentionally - I think about her when the email notification comes up. It makes me happy that this person is somehow in my life.

Is that impersonal? Is it wrong in some way? It's my own very, very private way of keeping people in my life. I don't see it as not genuine or fake.

If it works, right?

I don't think what you said necessarily contradicts what I said.

NixOS is easy to use as long as as what you're trying to do is contained within the configuration, then set up is pretty much just editing that configuration file (which essentially is just series of dictionaries and lists). I wouldn't for example have with installing NixOS for my grandparents.

Here's example config when that's true: https://github.com/areina/nixos-config/blob/master/thinkpad-...

If you want to do something that's not covered then you'll have to learn Nix, and that part is indeed hard, because it's like configuring linux through use of saltstack/chef/puppet/ansible through a functional language (which many people don't have experience with), but as you said it pays off.

I think the hardest part is the paradigm shift where everything you do is no longer imperative but declarative. It also doesn't help that documentation is always behind what nixpkgs can do and Nix functionality would cover multiple books.
