The sad thing is that the Quest has other benefits that, to me, make it worth more than the Index. This video covers some of the magic that's possible with the Quest [0]. Before the Quest was in people's hands I was constantly getting shot down when I was saying:

1. Inside-out tracking is the future.

2. Detaching from the desktop and playing on the go is a huge feature (tetherless).

3. Hand tracking will re-imagine HCI

Everyone I know, some of whom are very big Valve fans, would tell me that "fidelity is more important" and "outside-in is fundamentally better and will always be better". That's simply not true as evidenced by the new headset from Facebook.

Multiple studios have completely switched to developing for the Quest 2 as the standard.

I'll happy accept that at face value (even if I think the truth of the first statement is slightly more complex that you make it out to be). Just not sure that leads to the conclusions you seem to be drawing from those facts.
I picked up a Fuji last Christmas, and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made in the last decade. Their X-line takes incredible pictures, and is so approachable. If anyone has been considering more serious photography, or is having a child and wants to capture more unique shots of them, I can’t recommend them highly enough.
In 2012-2014, CentOS had a resources issue. It was far more popular than they had resources to support. With the then upcoming switch from RHEL6 to 7, my suspicion is that they were worried about having large delays in releasing like they had at the start of the RHEL6 release.

Here is the mailing list entry for when they were acqi-hired : https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2014-Janu...

Instead of seeing CentOS fold, Red Hat decided to hire the core members and support the project. They set up a governance structure for the project, which pretty much guaranteed a RH majority in all votes. AFAICT, there was no requirement for public voting, board seat terms, elections, or public input.

CentOS never really had the strong (public) governance model of something like Debian. RedHat bought the project the old fashioned way — they hired the people who worked on it and stacked the board.
to be fair, you _should_ probably already be proxying npm and importing from an internal domain (same would be true in any language, really)

The truth is, even with a centralized repository, we're still importing user-code, made by humans that may not be well intentioned or simply not know that their code is vulnerable: proxying within your network and running periodic checks against the content of the local cache would be good practice, no where the code came from
The scandal is that they shouldn't have been allowed to be built with the 'wrong' insulation in the first place. Also, people who have had surveys for properties they bought some years ago (pre-Grenfell) as in my case.

So, if the Government are going enforce new standards and impose the need for very costly surveys and 'forms' to show new safety standards (again, based on their own ineptitude that caused Grenfell), then they should be the ones who have to pay for any remediation. Not the Leasholders.
Yeah, I myself used CentOS when I needed a 100% binary-compatible version of RHEL for free, without all the horse shit that RHEL forces you into (RHN, etc).

Oh well, I guess there's Oracle Unbreakable Linux to fill this gap until something better comes along.
> Not everyone's using cutting-edge deployment tech; lots of folks are just SSHing or RDPing into a physical or virtual server, copying stuff there, and running it

Maybe a decade ago, tbf IDK anyone who deploys like this in 2020, people user either Docker and/or k8s or a stupid-simple netlify/surge/vercel push. Then, there's also server-less stuff but yeah, you get the idea.

Actually, being native English speaker is always a money making skill by itself. Seriously, having a western look and speaking English are marketable skills. There are people who literally make living out of it.

When it comes to Easter Europeans, they need to have the skills to get the job in first place(Polish don't get the jobs because of their Polishness), they must be able to speak some English in addition to one or two languages that they already know and they must have the capital to move to UK(Usually means years of savings).

If the British are having hard time to compete with Eastern Europeans they need to look into their education system. The government as the first step in HR will help with reducing the competition but in the same time that means that UK companies will have less options in hiring which is likely to reduce the output.

In my opinion, companies should be allowed to hire whoever they want and work visa or nationality is not a skill, just blunt regulatory barrier for voter distribution.
> First, if you look hard enough, you can see traces of the hand of government in almost anything on earth, including any market....

> In general, markets are sustainable in the long run without government interference (and usually actually more stable this way).

With the market, you don't even have to look very hard. Many people like to believe that the market is self-regulating and "natural," but that's not the case. It was created via government policy (hundreds of years ago), and depends on government in such fundamental ways that it's inseparable from it.

The market would destroy itself (and much else) without government interference, and to claim otherwise is akin to denying the mountain because you're standing on top of it.
Yes, the effeciency rate of solar is what makes it "worth it" or not, and within the last couple of years it has hit a sweet spot where in many to most cases it is "worth" the investment costs. That said, you need to watch out for unscrupulous installers not installing the latest panel tech, or installers who overcharge, etc, and it is preferable to research and utilize all available subsidies you can get your hands on (tax deductions, insurance, local electricity policies, etc).

The tech itself is at the right level now, it's the middle men and bureaucracies or bad rates that are the main problem. Source: family member who has overseen installation and maintenance of many major solar installations.
Sure, but they still paid for a physical product. If I actually own something in the truest sense of the word then a company shouldn't get to have any say over my continued use of the device, games etc regardless of what entirely abhorrent positions I might hold. That's the perks of being a private citizen.

IMO we need strong regulation against this type of interference passed the sphere of the original transaction. Large COs are trying to make us all renters. Fuck that.

I think the big takeaways from this pandemic are: (1) we need to limit "emergency powers" to some timeframe where the legislature cannot meet. Maybe 7 days or so. We are about 280 days into the crisis, so it's time for our normal political process to decide matters. (2) we need some way to allow people to voluntarily take vaccines faster. Like a special board that can override the FDA for individuals or groups who have over 1 in 1,000 chance of dying from a disease in the next year.
Does anybody have advice on how to make the most of meetings with coworkers/mentors 2+ levels up the ladder from yourself? I once had a great session with a c-suite exec in an employer with 5 digits worth of employees, but I think that was as much due to his being a really motivated mentor as any prep or questions I did. I want to make sure I'm prepared for future meetings if the mentor is not as open or enthusiastic about mentorship.
If instead of resolving points of light on the image sensor, you use a group of pixels to resolve an entire tiny image you can effectively also see around things. You end up with a picture of many small sections of the large image each at a different angle. The image on the far left of the image would see a different angle than the image on the far right. This is exactly what the Lytro camera did and it's why you can take the picture first and focus later. Of course you sacrifice overall imagine resolution quite severely:

> So e.g. when the light is pure orange, it falls down into red wavelength range and is counted as red.

If you only work with one photon at a time, then yes, you don't know if the photon passing through the filter was red, or orange, or with smaller probability even green or blue. But when you have trillions of photons passing through, you can "see" the difference by the relative intensity of light.

Remember that at the quantum level, things don't happen deterministically; you have to consider the probability that a given outcome occurs. So the photon has a certain probability to hit the filter and get absorbed, a certain probability to pass through the entire depth of the filter, a certain probability to hit the sensor without generating an event, a certain probability to hit the sensor and initiate a chemical reaction (for film or biological eyes) or an electron cascade (for CCD sensors), a certain probability to quantum tunnel to the other side of the universe...

So getting back to your question, when pure orange photons hit a red filter, many of them will make it through the filter, but not as many as if they were pure red photons. When pure orange photons hit a green filter, some of them will make it through, but not as many as if they were pure green photons. So if your brain knows what the "white point" of a given environment is, relative to that white color it'll see a specific combination of "some red, some green" as orange. (Of course, if known-to-be-white objects are already orange--like when you put on amber ski googles--your brain will eventually adjust and recalibrate to perceive that color as something else... perception is tricky!)
It’s truly incredible the impact this company has had without yet managing to become a household name. They don’t even have a Wikipedia entry yet, as far as I can ascertain. I had my doubts, especially with esp-idf for the esp32 having a somewhat troublesome start. But these guys have been absolutely crushing it this year.

The S2 series of ESP32 modules have USB OTG support rolling out pretty radidly right now, based on TinyUSB’s stack, and the touch capacitance sensor implementations on those chips is truly a generation ahead of the initial series. It’s as if they totally rethought the ESP32 in the context of how it could be used to enable hobbyists to become makers of consumer-friendly devices with modern, professional interfaces.

Even the documentation for the S2 chips is like nothing I’ve ever seen for a microcontroller —— they describe in incredible detail how you can use their touch sensor support to enable waterproof touch panels, touch screens, proximity sensors, sliders, keypads.

They even get into describing layer-by-layer which materials to use in order to construct an effective, professional touch sensor. That is invaluable information for device makers hoping for a leg up on their competition, and Espressif didn’t really even have an obligation to include this level of information — they know how revolutionary this could be.

I think we’ll start seeing Espressif not only be the company that brings IoT mainstream, but the company that steers the future of IoT in the same sort of way that IBM did with the PC. They’re defining a ton of protocols, services and silicon technologies and I think they’ve already surpassed a critical mass where other companies will have to standardize around Espressif’s implementations if they want to achieve any real success in this market.

Ultimately you won't really know if it's a good thing until after the fact. I think just following my nose and doing what felt good in the moment was a big help. I guess it helped that I'd been trained as a youth counsellor early in my career, and I've been helping people my whole life as a by-product of who I am. A lot of people over the years have told me I should be a counsellor because apparently I'm really good at sucking the drama out of situations, calming people, soothing their nerves and helping them to get to a point that they can solve their own problems.

Like I say though, often you won't really know if what you are doing is a good thing until you look back on it and you see that the person you helped has moved forward. Some people just don't want to be helped and no matter how much effort you put it, you're not helping. But it's really difficult to see that while you're in the midst of it.

Just keep doing what you're doing while you have the motivation to do something. Get what you can out of the experience - the energy I got from helping other people even just to find their smile in the midst of something they felt they couldn't get out from under was enough to say that today I did good.

And take it day by day.

This doesn't match my experience. I've had to deal with some Java code that the ide was useless to help figure out. Usually made worse by some over optimized build system that was non Google friendly to see what was supposed to happen.

Worse, the abstractions made it so that even a simple feature would require about six files. Not counting the tests.

Not to say that clojure has been a breeze. Worst I see there is developers refusing to use libraries it external programs and instead taking a ridiculous "first principals" approach. Even if they get it working, it is typically not search friendly, as everyone else is using some other tool. Basically, the same trap I see in build systems,

Another possibility for those that are being affected by this: in the past when I had no choice but to use RHEL but didn't have an active RHN subscription, I just removed the RHN yum repos and replaced them with CentOS equivalents and everything worked out just fine.

In the event the CentOS repos get pulled, then I imagine one could do the same thing, but with Oracle's repos instead.

Moral of the story - don’t be unpopular
Agreed, I think constructive criticism is warranted. (The issues mentioned with inequality are very-very much deserve the effort and attention. And one way to do something about it is to have more market participants, and one way for that is to start new companies. So startups. Even if there are problems with the whole VC-funded never-monetized undercutting of real businesses which have positive "unit economy". At the same time it seems impossible in many markets to go up against the incumbents without such deep pockets - though maybe VC money just leads to useless uncaring greedy copycats. But that's is a different discussion.)

All in all, I simply don't think these verbal lashing-outs are at all helpful. They suck out the air from the very same topics that it hints at (ie. inequality).
I'm not sure how that relates. In fact, I think it's inadvertently makes an important side point.

When you're making music, you should make stuff you ACTUALLY like, instead of something some theoretical person would like. If you like it, at least a few other people will too. If you don't, there's no guarantees anyone will. It's awesome finding music that expresses something you only think you feel, or has some weird jokes that you find hilarious, or is made by some nerds who slip in a subtle pun or something. Meanwhile, no one needs "Hey, yeah, I'm feeling great, OK" song with no genuine feeling behind it.

There's probably lessons you could apply to software engineering too, but I feel it's 1000% true about art.
What Is the Ads.txt Project?

This is called “moving the goalposts”. It’s a kind of fallacy.

You said: “Hundreds. I develop apps for my own devices. This is supposed to be a forum for technologists.”

I said: Sideloading doesn’t refer to installing apps you have developed yourself.

You said: If you can do one, you can trivially do the other.

This is clearly not true. You can install apps you have developed yourself on your own iOS devices for free, but you cannot distribute them. They do expire, but you can certainly install and use them on your own devices.

So then you changed the goalposts to “My own devices and the devices of my friends and family are end users”.

Which is not what you originally said. You originally said “for my own devices”.

We agree that sideloading is about distributing software to end users. Not just your own devices.

The two are not one and the same mechanism. The fact that you had to change your qualifier shows this.
IFR = "Infection Fatality Ratio" (for those who were unfamiliar with the acronym like me).
Yeah, I imagine this pressure from the top had something to do with the "90 hour weeks" cited in the thread...I've never worked in an org as large as Uber, but personally I have made some very bad engineering choices when in crunch mode, especially on the doubling-down-on-bad-decisions front.

When there's no room to come up for air and look at a project from a perspective other than "this is super broken and way behind schedule" my brain just fixates on the micro-steps that need to be done to get it across the finish line (whether or not the finish line is realistically anywhere within sight). It's work being done, but none of the exhausted people working on a project like that have any energy left to consider whether it's the right work.

interesting, how did the spend breakdown between cloud run and firebase?

did you have any limit to how many req/s you made to an individual site? It seems this would be difficult to implement with this architecture.

how did you deal with following links in circles/ avoiding scraping the same page multiple times?

I had built something similiar at a previous job, recursively scraping ecommerce sites. The first thing I noticed was some of the sites we were scaping couldn't handle more than a couple requests a second (in particular as we scaped uncached pages by sites running php). Other sites were quick to ip ban.

I kept things simple, a few dozen micro instances on aws (think they were like $3 a day) running puppeteer. A single server acting as a controller, keeping a per site queue and allowing us to set per site request limits if necessary. All the state of which links were already seen just kept in memory. Of course everything was also persisted to a db, and if the controller process needed to be restarted, it could restore the queue/ seen state and resume.

I'd generally still argue that marketing is the hardest part of any side-hustle / startup in general.

They check the voter registration while they're opening the envelopes. If there's a double-vote detected, they pull that envelope to the side to investigate more, before they open it and count the vote.

Also, I really think you don't get the point of my first question to you.

How many false positives and false negatives do you think signature analysis would result in?

Because if you're trying to detect a fraudulent signature, and you have false positives, and you then don't count that vote, you have disenfranchised someone.

Perhaps you just mean that those envelopes should be pulled aside, and the state should go and track down the person and ask them if its really their signature?

This really needs to go farther. As a purchaser of any product, I should not need to create an Internet account with the manufacturer, in order to use or continue to use a product. Once I buy it, it should be mine. I don't want to have this ongoing relationship with your company. This trend of companies making you tether yourselves to them in order to use a product you paid for has to end. I'm not a huge fan of regulating tech, but need some kind of "Right To Use" law that says once you buy something, it's yours and you don't need to connect to the manufacturer to use it, and the manufacturer can't revoke your right to use it.
Give yourself permission to not be excited about things you used to. It's okay. There is nothing wrong with you. This can happen. This is normal for a lot of people.
