+1 more for Home Assistant. I'm working in a b2b iot company and the amount of handcrafting integrations is enormous. You can't do it with a simple product, so don't even waste your time in trying. There are already communities about this, consumer iot is shit, and you will be adding one more shit to the pile. Plus, the big three MS, Google and Amazon might be converging on a common standard, and they will squeeze you out.

Best that I can offer as an advice is to look at what the big cloud players are doing and build on that. Link your console to the IOT hubs and make nocode solutions for managing devices.

This makes sense, in the narrow definition they use for the effect, that is students estimating their exam score.

It doesn’t necessarily disprove other interpretations that people are casually using, such as imposter syndrome, which are related but pedantically not the same effect.

Sure, until that feature is built into almost everything and it becomes mandatory to use it. Filing an income tax return? You must use this online system that captures every edit and every keystroke. There is no other way to file.

of course not. they could just make a merge request.

Honestly I like both git and svn but I find this distinction to be contrived. I use svn in a decentralised manner daily with no problems

When I did CS (my alma mater didn't have Software engineering at the time,) many courses did similar but with a different spin; The work based on the exercise was pre-divided into modules that were fairly similar in size. And at the end you had to code your module and everything had to 'work together'.

As a blunt observation, the courses where writing a specification was part of the project everything seemed to click together more easily. The ones where a specification wasn't written were the ones where people were scrambling on due date.

Rebasing rewrites history, and Git's strict linear histories mean you can no longer push or easily resolve conflicting histories (see: "git rerere") that have diverged.

With Darcs, you can. You can merge/cherry-pick any history without incurring other conflicts than "real" conflicts where people have worked on the same lines of text. This eliminates a large group of commands Git has to provide ("rebase", "cherry-pick", "rerere", "reset", etc.) because the entire problem space doesn't even exist. Darcs is utterly magical that way.

> No, there isn't.

I have to disagree there. There's a huge corpus of material showing that people struggle with Git.

For example, a cursory search of HN shows many, many threads that devolve into discussions about how unnecessarily complicated and complex Git is. You can also go on Stack Overflow or other forums and look at all the users whose repositories are stuck in a state they don't understand. I suspect no other VCS has forced so many users to give up and wipe their local repo to start over again. Git's UI has gotten better over the years since I started using it around 2007, but it's not great at explaining repository state.

Many less-than-technical people — such as designers — have been forced into using Git as part of their work. Subversion was extremely popular in this group, and the transition to Git was slow precisely because Subversion offered simplicity where Git didn't.

Anecdotally, I work with a bunch of highly competent, highly technical colleagues — some of whom I consider to be better developers than myself — who still sometimes struggle working with Git. Most developers don't want, I think, to be "Git experts"; they just want to get stuff done. Most users, myself included, arguably use just a tiny subset of Git commands that deal with the daily pull/push/commit workflow. When I joined my current company, people weren't even practicing clean histories, but using "git merge". But once you get into rebasing (which many people do not do) and diverging histories across multiple levels of branches, you open a whole can of worms that Git is not good at dealing with. Rerere, while a huge time-saver, doesn't solve everything in such complicated scenarios.

Perhaps you're perfectly fine with all of this, but in that case you are not representative of the average user, in my opinion.

> git is the simplest and most straight-forward version control system I ever used

Since I started out, I've used RCS, Visual SourceSafe, CVS, Subversion, Perforce, GNU Arch, Darcs, and Mercurial. The only tool more complex than Git was GNU Arch (though, admittedly, required jumping through some ridiculous hoops to work around its lack of native branching support), but Git is without question the most complicated and complex that has been in mainstream use.

Yes, it does make sense to move static files to object storage, especially the mp3s. There is some ffmpeg-related refactoring that we need to do before we can do this though, and it's not a quick & easy task, so we have been deferring it since it's not that high priority, and there are simpler solutions to this particular problem (i.e. improved CDN caching).

Other static files such as css, js, txt make sense to remain bundled with the app image, which is stateless and a prime candidate for horizontal scaling. Also, CDN caching makes small static files that change infrequently a non issue, regardless of their origin.

The managed Postgres service from Linode's 2021 roadmap is definitely something that we are looking forward to, but the simplest thing might be to provision Postgres with local volumes instead. We are already using a replicated Postgres via the Crunchy PostgreSQL Operator, so I'm looking forward to trying this approach out first.

CockroachDB is on my list of cool tech to experiment with, but that will use an innovation token, and we only have a few left for 2021, so I don't want to spend them all at once.

I was CEO of a software company who sold an Outlook add-in product and did a lot of Outlook/Exchange consulting. I went to I/O every year as well, and toyed with the idea of making a better Exchange<-->Wave connector. Glad I didn't.

Also have a prototype for what at the time was an improved Outlook to Google Calendar sync (e.g. it maintained coloring by converting color categories in Outlook to Google subcalendars of matching colors) but was hesitant to productize it one reason being I wasn't sure if Google Calendar would live long enough to make it worthwhile.

I wonder if a reputation for prematurely killing their products is harming Google's ecosystem-building efforts.

Maybe a Tesla can make a trip in the same time as an ICE, but only if you normally stop frequently. I'm a "drive straight thru" kind of person, and road trips in my Telsa frustrate me.

A few times a year, I make a ~950mi drive in my 2017 MX 100D (~295mi rated, ~220 maybe at 75 mph). In an ICE car its 13.5 hours of driving, and about 4.5 hours of charging. I frequently find myself wishing I owned an ICE car when I'm on the trip. Especially when the weather is cold, and I'm debating the range impact of turning the heat on vs 12 more hours of not being able to feel my toes. Or when the supercharger is busy and it ends up taking 2x as long to get from 5% to 45% because I'm sharing... or the anxiety of trying to make it one more charger to be able to save time by charging 2% -> 55% rather than 12% -> 65% (to avoid charging past the taper..)

I'm hoping the new models coming with 500 or 600 miles of range improve this. I'd probably only need to charge 3 times.

To some extent I think it depends on what data you're storing in the graph ie. If it's temporal data using a ulid instead of a guid speeds things up significantly (30x for large data) as your ids are not as fragmented.

I'm not sure what you suggest here. Chrome extensions are heavily sandboxed and thanks to that you can remove them cleanly. Does this mean that Chrome replaces OS package management? Is your intent to say that making npm installation more "dangerous" for users is a good idea as it drives people towards OS package management? What about the large set of software that is not won't ever be packaged for your distro/OS?

Look, if you can assume that the legal system will start caring about specific edits along the way to the final draft, and you can assume that essentially all tools will start tracking the history of these changes, and you can assume that the trivial fix (copy paste the final version into a new document) will be underlined either technically or legally, then I can assume that Congress will change the law to make these inconsequential details no longer matter. (It's highly unlikely that Congress would actually do a useful thing, but then the sum total of all your assumptions was also highly unlikely, wasn't it?)
Agreed. And its use in discussions unfortunately adds no value. Imagine that two people are arguing about something. You walk up, interrupt them, and state that one of them is wrong but because the wrong person is stupid, they don't realize they are wrong.

Will your comment change anything? Of course not, both people arguing will just assume that the other one is the stupid person.

> I don’t see anything stadia offers over GeForce now.

One advantage is that you can play Cyberpunk for free on Stadia (after you purchase the game, which you also have to do for GFN too). Also, last I tried GFN, it seemed a bit clunkier (it felt like more of a "PC on cloud" that you managed, vs a built for web service).

The article gives us a few clues:

1. the DK-effect supposedly increases the noisier subjects estimates of their abilities are,
2. the graph relies on breaking the data into quartiles
3. experts are less noisy in their estimates of their abilities than are non-experts.

Not sure if the Dunning-Kruger effect can be applied to everything (such as: humour, grammar, etc., as listed in the article), but I think pretty much everyone who has played any kind of video game (Dota, LoL, Star Craft, CS:GO, etc.) in a competitive "try-hard" environment for long enough will assure you that the Dunning-Krueger effect is indeed real.

"It's not my fault for losing this; I am clearly better than the team/oponents if it weren't for bad teammates/cheese tactics/meta abuse/lags/etc" is a mindset a lot of players have even if all evidence points to the contrary (~50% winrate in average in matches with players of similar ranking etc.).

In fact, I struggled quite some time with this myself - acknowledging and understanding one's own shittiness is one of the very first steps of actual improvement, and that's usually easier said than done, at least for me personally.

yes. the printers had 132 columns. you sent a buffer of 133 chars, the first being carriage control. blank was line feed, i forget what was page-eject/form-feed (1?? memory fuzzy). + was overprint.

As a student, I had a part-time job as an I/O clerk. (feed the card reader, file printouts). We disabled overprint on student jobs because it caused a lot of headaches from bugs. Form feed in an infinite loop was enough hassle.

The original IBM printer did not document + for overprint, it was the result of a logic optimization in the controller and someone discovered it. So IBM installed a field change order that disabled that function, but included a switch that for an additional monthly fee would upgrade your printer to a model that supported it.

A few years ago I set a goal to minimize the number of applications installed bare-metal on my laptop. Everything is containerized, just as the blog describes.

I use a bash alias for each common application. For example, "jup" launches a jupyter notebook. I have a container with the Python package "Black" which runs using a git hook to clean up my code prior to commits.
