I see a couple gray areas:

1) when people buy a doorbell cam they may not expect it to be used by the police in unrelated investigation (not a crime actively committed against the owner of the camera)

2) motive for investigation of a crime like theft is clear-cut, investigation of who was at a protest is not as clear (why do we need to identify who participated in a protest? there shouldn't need to be identification unless there's an actual crime committed)

I am a self-hosted partisan, so I obviously avoid Ring. But this article feels disingenuous in implying that there is something uniquely nefarious about Ring here, aside from perhaps the relative ease by which the authorities are able to request video. The police also can and do ask those who run self-hosted surveillance systems for video of events; I know because I've been asked before for video from mine.

So, yes, it's very easy to request video from Ring users. But they still do need to ask. The only way I am going to be genuinely upset about this is if they are able to get video without asking the individual owners.

All AirPods actually do contain an accelerometer, and the Pro contain a gyroscope as well, however I'm not aware of them being opened to developers, so they're still not of use to anything unless Apple decides to open them up or implement the feature themselves.

> HDMI is a 10Gbps port.

> The PIO ports discussed here are on the order of 100kHz

PIO runs at the system clock, 125 MHz by default, overclocks of over 400 MHz have been reported stable. A single PIO can clock out 32 bits every cycle (with a DMA and a memory system that can feed this), giving you a total of 4 Gbps.

Running at full throttle like that, especially for a decent length of time is tricky if you want to actually do anything other than blast out bits but 16 or 8 bits per cycle is a lot more straight forward, so 2 or 1 Gbps.

DVI output has already been demonstrated, running two displays at 480p: https://github.com/Wren6991/picodvi

The DVI is maybe more of a party trick than something you'd do in production hardware but it does demonstrate how capable the PIO can be. You could happily implement the same concept in a more performant device and reach 10 Gbps or more in a reasonable way.
People with home surveillance cameras can give the footage to whomever they want, including the police, so long as that footage was obtained lawfully.

Meant "a somewhat lower-level language than Pascal"

Early on, I read in some book or mag that "C is a version of Pascal that is not afraid to get its hands dirty". Enthused, I immediately started exploring C (although came back to Pascal sometime later via Delphi). Did a good amount of work with it over time, including some successful product development work (that was deployed in multiple client-server projects as database middleware) and some interesting business projects.

Would you say the downside to leaving a senior team is worth it in this case?

By the way, I spent most of my career, however tiny it is, in startups and only recently I took this job at a large company. Sorry I didn't say earlier. But that, knowing how it is on startups makes it that much more difficult, because I can very well be making a huge mistake, and in 5 years staying in a company with more resources I could be much more experienced with a better résumé. But that is all speculation. Right now I itch for having my own project in a startup where things go Lightspeed.
I wonder why they weren't common 30 years ago. Not a single person in my entire family from my generation and before has a single allergy, nor was it ever a big thing in school I attended in various US states in the 90s and early 00s.

I also changed from LastPass to Bitwarden to to LastPass being noticeably slow. I don't mean to diminish the probably very hard work put into a product with a decent free tier, but it was sluggish enough it only made sense to try an alternative.

Very true. And maybe that's where my discomfort is coming from; the potential for police obtaining this footage through coercion or even in secret is deeply disturbing to me.

> I'd go so far as to say there is a current of anti-intellectualism in terms of frontend application design

I try to walk a line here between relying on my experience and being open to the idea that there is possibly a better way to do things that is just unfamiliar to me. "Beginner mindset" and all that. React hooks are a great example. At first I hated them because I didn't really understand what problems they solved well. To my eyes they encouraged mixing concerns in the component layer in ways that made testing and re-usability way harder. It was when I started considering hooks as "headless components" that I started understanding where they fit into a front end architecture. I think they solve a specific class of problem that react had no answer for previously. I don't use them for everything but now that I consider them as a special kind of component, they fit into a larger set of tools that I have at my disposal.

I also think there are different kinds of front end developers and we all get lumped into the same bucket right now. There are those that work on flashy UI stuff (which I suck at) and those that do more "middle tier" type stuff where they are building out web apps that solve business problems (more my sweet spot). Those two skill sets are way way way different from one another to the point that I think they should be classified as different disciplines.

Has anyone actually TRIED using the AirPods in some form programmatically? It's impossible, you lock down your phone TouchID/FaceID and attempt to do a simple list by voice and "you need to unlock your Phone first" ... there is no trust in the pairing of hardware. I wanted to do a delivery platform based ONLY on the AirPods for all parties (pickup/dropoff/billing) but it's just not possible. I hope it changes in the future to reflect some of what is in this post.
Sure, but I can find other enjoyable things which are not proven harmful.

Not to mention the insane amount of "biocide" which happens in the process of producing a new car.

I consider animals and plants to be my close relatives (and dependencies, meaning I won't live long without them), so if I can avoid money-voting for stuff which harms them, I choose that.
Not really applicable. In this case, everyone understands it but they don’t talk about it due to legal reasons
1) The article is unclear what is meant by "request", but the impression is that the police are merely asking private citizens for access to video which they are under no obligation to provide. If that is the case, then I see nothing wrong here.

2) Agreed, however it is not unreasonable to expect to be identified when taking part in a public activity. You could just as easily be identified by police who were there, or via someone's phone footage uploaded to youtube. You have no expectation of privacy in public. Further, I see no reason to expect that the LAPD intends to do anything other than investigate criminal actions with this footage [0].

There's also a substantial writeup on the architecture of esbuild in the repo [1]. It is definitely worth a read if you are interested in some of the inner workings of esbuild or are curious how various bundler features are implemented.

Hah, I didn't take offense. I've seen and worked with quite a few Principals where I questioned what they actually did. Lots of them produced many documents and zero results and coasted based on that.
Works flawlessly, only wish would be to have some sort of public lobby (or many small lobbies) to try it out and listen in for a bit to get a feel for it. Great conversations don’t require hundreds of people, so I wouldn’t worry too much about supporting larger rooms just yet. It certainly would be nice however, to just browse through or tune in to random rooms (like a radio station) so I can discover interesting stuff (if meant to be public).

Love the open-source approach!

If you’re curious about the MSG sensitivity I recommend trying other foods that are high in MSG and looking for similar sensitivities to foods like tomatoes, snack foods, and meat seasoning mixes, and condiments. If you don’t have sensitivities to those, it may be something else that’s causing the issue, like ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc.
Wasn't it just a few years ago they found microbes underwater where there wasn't any sunlight? The thinking back then was that all life was directly or indirectly dependent on sunlight.

I have serious problems with many of the same chemicals as GP. Well I understand different ones are harmful or not in theory, I only know what I react to. It's almost uniformly products to which artificial fragrances are added intentionally, or exhaust that's known to be harmful such as diesel and gasoline. I only have issues with certain natural fragrances (essential oils) with extended exposure or large amounts. Most likely it's members of several large categories that I react to. Could be VOCs, phthalates, teflon relatives, and synthetic fragrance compounds.

Like gluten intolerance, one of the difficult things about reacting negatively to common consumer products is the number of people who refuse to believe it's a real problem.

This assumes that if your immune system reacts negatively to something, it is guaranteed to be actually harmful to the body.

If our immune systems and bodies were all-knowing and perfect, then sure, that would be a valid assumption, but they're far from it.
It would increase cost of compliance -- or mostly everyone would just stick to the most extreme level, to cover their asses.

Many things marked with the Prop 65 warning do not actually contain anything carcinogenic (or rather, since everything is carcinogenic to some degree, they contain no more than trace amounts.) Legally, if a business has a Prop 65 warning, they're safe; if they don't, they're not.

The only teeth Prop 65 has against excessive warnings is that it makes consumers like me nervous, so it's better to not have it. If it were a little more sane -- like being based on actual exposure from reasonably expected usage -- then I think I'd like it, even if the list of chemicals is still a bit overzealous.

The system is too heavily tilted in favor of exposing people to nasty crap, and I appreciate having something that pushes against it. It's a hard thing to do well, and legislating via ballot initiative is a blunt instrument. So the best we generally end up with is stuff like Prop 65, which does some good, some harm.
They’re now selling their product in clever ways designed to shift all liability to the user.

Different people has different sensitivity to different substances.

Take musk. Musk is an organic substances coming from the glands of a few animals. It's one of the most common base notes in perfumery. Since perfumes became a mass market product, there aren't enough musk deers in the planet by some orders of magnitude to fullfill the demand.

So they created "white" (synthetic) musks. Problem is most persons are anosmic to this one or that one white musk. Also white musks are not exactly biodegradable. Perfumists make cocktails of them to make sure you will feel some of them. A few people (sigh!) are anosmic to every polycyclic and macrocyclic musk.

And this is for substances that their explicit mission is to be smelled.

There are newer alycyclic musks much more biodegradable and most people can feel them. See Romandolide, Helvetolide, Rosamusk, if you're curious.

What Is the Orgasm Gap? Here’s How Sex-Tech Is Making Pleasure More Inclusive
I uploaded a program to this collection in 1995, when I was about 15. It was a terminal front-end program called MTerm. It relied on a FOSSIL driver (a serial port driver for DOS) and ANSI.SYS (or compatible) to do the real work of communication and display, respectively. And the Ui was pretty minimal. As such, it was quite worthless, really just a vanity project (good thing it was freeware). Still, as far as I can recall, it was the first program that I ever actually released to the public.

No, legislators don't get to ignore the unintended consequences of the laws that they implement.

This applies to all laws that are passed. It is a frequent criticism and problem, of laws, is that there are often unintended consequences. And that is the fault of the law, that they did not consider the unintended consequences.

A bit off topic but I got annoyed by laptops and bought a used Lenovo ThinkCenter tower for a few hundred euros and couldn't be happier. They're really well made, with high end components (i7 7700, 32GB ECC), and after I've stuck a graphics card in it I'm sure I'm set for years to come.

I'm actually surprised how incremental the progress was over the last decade, with regards to CPUs and to a lesser extent GPUs. I'd strongly suggest trying to reuse older hardware instead of spending $1000+ on new one

agreed on #1

i think for 2, you've identified why it's a little iffy... yes if you're out in public you should have no expectation of privacy. however the context of where you are matters, and the frame of why the police is trying to identify matters. ideally most people who are participating in a peaceful protest should have no fear of being identified, but that isn't the case rn. in a sense, the surveillance discussion is a proxy for "the police have too much power and not enough oversight"
