Were you thinking of the 2012 Nexus 7 with the poor-quality NAND that went bad within a couple years, rendering the tablet useless? Or the 2013 that had phantom/unregistering input due to (IIRC) general build-quality and flex issues?

Asus did make both, but I'm not sure either was as good as you recall, sadly.

I just launched the marketing site on Monday. I'm 38 with a spouse and two small children. I've been a CTO of two SMBs over the last few years and needed to build something of my own. It's the craziest thing I've ever done.

The industry is end-of-life IT assets. It's a big industry with a lot of steak dinners that you can make a decent living at by grinding. I was introduced by a buddy of mine who's managed to build a good no-tech business in the niche.

My thesis is that there's opportunity around "platforming" the service with integrations and automation. Compliance and convenience are big drivers for customers, so traditional marketplaces have failed to take off.

There’s an abstract and not well defined problem of: “how do we design our life”? There are many tools which intend to help us with planning, executing, reflecting.. however none of them solve this problem holistically. They’re often specialized in 1 area (i.e. todo) and offer painful user interfaces which forces many of us to go back to pen & paper.

https://acreom.com/ is a powerful text editor for life organization. We are building an intelligent all-in-one tool with lightweight design that will tackle the problem of how do we "design" our life holistically.

The landing page is in progress, so we're currently aggregating sign-ups here: https://forms.gle/HMTw4xa5ppABzCFRA and would be happy to share when it’s ready :)
That sounds... very weird. Something is for sure wrong in your org. Anyway, the point, I think, is that data engineers and data scientists should be integrated in one team and not operate in different silos.
This assumes they don’t scrub it before storing it, which we know they do for some services, and we have no information about others.

We can’t in fact treat it like they do. We can only treat it like they might be able to.

I'm building Qvault in my spare time. It has a few goals:

* Provide an inexpensive alternative to CS degrees

* Gamify the education process

* Keep the curriculum linear and simple

* Fill in CS knowledge gaps for bootcampers and self-taught devs

* Interactive - coding, not video based

I am working on developing a platform that generates stock sentiment indicators from popular sub-Reddit pages. Goal is to have the program scrape through sub-reddit threads, detect stock tickers, and based on surrounding text, generate a sentiment rating. I would then compare these sentiment ratings to recent price/stock volume shifts to see if I can identify potential momentum trades before they happen.

I am honestly not sure if there will be any correlation to stock price movements and sentiment ratings generated from my platform, but thought it was an interesting idea and intrigued to see if there are any trends.

I am also relatively new to programming, so if anyone in here finds this interesting and wants to help, would be more than happy to collaborate.

> Latency will always be an issue here

Yes, it will as soon as you are 1000km away. Light speed creates a lot of unresolvable latency. How can you play live between London and Sydney? You need a different musical understanding.
I'm a CS major that does broadcast engineering for my university's athletics program. Sports are not a major focus at my school, so our TV budget is relatively small. That makes most good graphics playout software out of our reach ($5-10k+).

I found a framework called NodeCG [0] that let us build graphics that are essentially just web pages with transparent background (sent over the network to our video switcher). The problem is that is rather bloated in my opinion. What I want is to essentially have a WebSocket server that acts as a key-value store, that accepts connections from data-collecting scripts (scoreboard, stats XML, etc) and forwards that to my graphics pages. Then, using Alpine (we use Vue right now), all I have to do is define which data goes where, rather than needing a callback for each k/v pair.

Hopefully, on top of that, I can build a WYSIWYG builder for the non-technical folks in our studio. Given that all of our pages have a fixed 1080p size, does anyone know of a good way to build this sort of thing?

I collected observable information on the usage of a large computer that I have access to at work. I collected this information every hour for the entire year of 2020. The information collected include system loads, process snapshot, memory snapshot, performance of simple commands, IO performance, how full is the filesystem.

I am working on analyzing this data to figure out the usage patterns, interesting stats about processes such as cpu intensive vs, memory intensive processes etc. Also trying to map the activity to the time of day, day of week, month etc.

I am hoping this will turn out to be useful in particular because the year 2020 turned out to be interesting.

Once done, I am hoping to anonymize and publish the data on the web for anyone to do finer analysis.
Just basically starting and kicking around the idea of a Django-based (only because I know it so well) server that I can tie to a touch screen, either attached to an Rpi or reusing an old tablet to help us communicate with my mother in law who is going through dementia. Some days are ok, others are not; I suspect there are times she could express exactly what she wants or is wondering about but the words crash into each other like a train derailment.

I’ve got pages of ideas but little code so far because I keep getting overwhelmed about UI ideas. This is as big a challenge as you could hope for simplicity. The little code I do have is me playing with an endpoint that can do text to speech so I can relay arbitrary info to her via speech as needed (weather, memos, etc) but there’s a git repo and some notes if anyone wants to sign up to kick me in the ass every week or so.

It seems like overall this was a long time coming and there had been precedence with MongoDB prior to as well. It's never a good thing to think that open source developers need to divert attention to such seemingly hostile actions though it seems credible enough that is was necessary for that reason.

> When I was in high-school, I took physics. I was assigned to room, say, 309, to a teacher whose name I didn't recognize. But I knew the teacher in room 309, and she even taught physics. So, I approached her, and asked, "I've been assigned 'Ms. Stewart', but it lists her as being in your room. Do you know what the correct room number is, Ms. Cook?" Right room; it was her maiden name, of course.

I'm reasonably certain one of those two 'Ms.' instances should be 'Mrs.'.
It's definitely a risk. That said, I'd argue that a post announcing "Steve Jobs has died" genuinely should rise to the top - it's a huge piece of news after all.
This model isn't so much about suppressing existing highly upvoted content, but rather finding content that should have been upvoted but was missed.

There's still a threat from meme-worthy content though. Honestly, I think this comes down to the initial community setting expectations that meme-worthy content will be shorted into oblivion, and reinforcing that culture.

And you think that raising salaries would ruin this somehow?

Otherwise it seems like raising salaries would help here, since the system would be better funded.

Unless of course raising salaries somehow screws up the system.
That, and also many projects rebranded and also pivoted!

Most of them are interoperable with each other instead of trying to be unique and original, which has sparked something analogous to the Industrial Revolution over the last year.

For anyone else passing by, on the technical side, this is because of the "composability" concept coming to fruition in early 2020, the idea that outputs from one team's smart contracts can be used as the inputs for a different team's smart contracts.

>So, why is in your opinion the AR-15 platform "military grade", and the hunting rifles available in Portugal not? Knowing that both platforms have been used by the military in combat situations, and knowing the hunting platforms usually have much more powerful cartridges?

This is a question you'd need to ask to the portuguese authority that manages weapons importation at the customs, which curiously, it's a procedure that must be done in the presence of a customs oficial, an expert of the Police (PSP), and the General Management of Weaponry and Defense Equipment (Direcção-Geral de Armamento e Equipamento de Defesa).

So I think it's their opinion and expertise that dictates such decisions? No idea! But I don't see it written anywhere that such specific weapon/platform is banned/forbidden.

Curious fact, just came across this information, apparently not so long ago civilians could buy fully automatic rifles in Portugal

I'm working on a language optimized for solving programming challenges as quickly as possible.

That is, I'm not optimizing for execution time, I'm optimizing for time between reading the problem statement and having a working solution. As far as I'm aware, there aren't any existing languages in this space. There are plenty of "code golf" languages, which optimize for shortest finished program, but that's slightly different. Based on the top AoC solvers, the closest thing today is Python -- but we can do so much better!

Currently, the language is very immature, but it can solve a handful of AoC problems. But before long, I'll need to tackle a very big problem: building an IDE around this thing. See, for a language like this, the syntax is only half the battle. Ideally, when I type something like `| map (*2)`, I should have instant visual feedback showing me how the input is affected by this change. Not to mention more traditional IDE features, like suggesting functions based on the type under the cursor.

I don't have anything public to share yet, but if you're interested in collaborating (esp. on the IDE), feel free to shoot me an email.
I'm working on a jigsaw puzzle website that started out as a fun side project last year. A few of my relatives are currently using it and enjoying it.

Fun fact, the client is very lightweight and completely written in svelte, except for a tiny rust/wasm helper lib. The backend is 100% rust paired with postgres. I wrote my own tiny server framework on top of hyper which is much nicer to use than most of the heavier frameworks I've tried.

Anyway, the site is almost complete, just finishing up a few minor details before launching it to the public! It has a free tier as well as a paid tied for users that want more.

If you're interested in trying it, please do reach out :)

After launch, I plan on tweeting about it and about building my first business as a solo dev.

The trick is to not give advice. Structure the software so that it's entirely self-directed and you don't push users towards a specific investment.

You'll probably still attract attention from regulatory bodies (we did!), but it's fine if you can show that you're not telling people what to do with their money. It's okay to help them do the things they want to do, but they have to be in control.

In our case, we showed how our software is functionally equivalent to a rebalancing spreadsheet, just with a wicked UX and flexible feature set.

Do you expect that the behavior of the Forest Service, BLM, and BIA will be drastically different under Biden? Are those orgs that under the sway of political appointees rather than career civil servants?

Doesn't need no damn study for concluding this.
She's saying it's not a stretch to interpret it in such a way. So there wouldn't be any surprises. This is the paragraph he's talking about:

> “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available.

IANAL, but I agree with the assessment that this means all the way to the bare metal. If you're running te Elastic on Windows or some other proprietary OS, this will be a problem for you.

In any case, that's not the problematic part of the SSPL, everyone runs on open source infrastructure anyway. The real problematic part is this paragraph:

> If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the terms of this License. Making the functionality of the Program or modified version available to third parties as a service includes, without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the functionality of the Program or modified version remotely through a computer network, offering a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or offering a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the Program or modified version.

This one needs a judge to set the boundaries. The last sentence is long and a bit complex, but the vague part is this: "offering a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version". A charitable reading suggests the intent is to target only those services that offer no value but the value of Elastic itself. For example if you run a website that let's a user sort through a bunch of documents that are stored in Elastic, then the "primary" value probably lies in the documents that you have gathered for your users. But the line is not so clear when the user supplies the documents as well. I'm pretty sure in that last case there is no way a judge would not conclude the primary value is that of Elastic.

So yeah, that's a business risk, is your business just a clever packaging of Elastic, or is Elastic just the icing on the value you're delivering to your customers? Would a judge agree with that assessment? Better have your expensive IT staff explain that to your expensive lawyer team.
That’s fair, because there’s process elements in place to mitigate risk. I read your comment to say “get rid of QA” not “get rid of the separate QA team”. My comment was more pointed to those who feel testing is inherently wasteful. In your example, the testing and configuration is tightly controlled to mitigate the same risk as a QA than (although there may be something to be said about the best practice of having the QA team be independent). Where I get nervous is when testing gets cut in hazardous systems because of cost or schedule. I personally wouldn’t want to get on a plane or autonomous car built like that. My own personal anecdotal experience is that organizations that were cavalier about QA on safety critical hardware/software inevitably had their comeuppance
