> Despite the Romans' common use of lead pipes, their aqueducts rarely poisoned people. Unlike other parts of the world where lead pipes cause poisoning, the Roman water had so much calcium in it that a layer of plaque prevented the water contacting the lead itself. What often causes confusion is the large amount of evidence of widespread lead poisoning, particularly amongst those who would have had easy access to piped water, an unfortunate result of lead being used in cookware and as an additive to processed food and drink (for example as a preservative in wine).
Should be very clear, I oppose government mandated lock downs.

Putting micro in front of service was a bad idea. Lots of people have the wrong idea because of that.
I let my background problem solving do most of the work before writing any code. I glance at what I need to do and then mentally walk through what it will take to get it done, then let it marinate for a day or two in my head. I’m usually so over how mundane the implementation actually needs to be that I end up writing a pretty straight forward solution. Get’s done quicker and I don’t waste time staring at a screen making much ado about nothing (an unnecessary solution).

Really helps keep things in perspective.

I wasn't intending to imply any wrongdoing, and I too was having some trouble understanding which side of the argument the comment I replied to was taking. (The comment was also edited after I wrote my reply.)

After the follow-up, I think nbzso is arguing that good design does matter and can't just be retrofitted later, and in that case, we agree.

Edit: Also, I've just realised that both the top comment and the one I replied to were written by the same person, so actually it seems very clear that we're in agreement. Apologies for missing that before.

Looks like they've made an web-app (https://pod-sources.cocoapods.org/) to check the distinct sources of a pod so you can have a fish to see if a source location url changed behind your back.

Would be good to show a list of all repositories where there are more than 1 distinct source as most people who make pods just point to their Github repo release page.

It's very tedious to check the impact of this without that list.
That would be extremely cool for many niche interests and hobbies.

I think it would be a lot of work for book store owners however because along with taking pictures they would also need to fill in some metadata as well about the book to make any kind of searching/categorizing possible. Maybe an intrepid entrepreneur could start with a few bookstores and do that categorization for them as a "do things that don't scale" experiment.
I'll admit I'm a podcast novice, but what player are you using and what does it offer beyond Spotify? I find, download, and play podcasts through Spotify without issues, and the few features I need (speed adjustment, offline access, and show notes/links) are all available on Spotify.

If there is a better way to listen, I'd love to hear about it.

Moved from SF to Denver to Breckenridge in the past year. We couldn't be happier. Just got back from my morning hike in the mountains. Got into a dangerous spot when I lost the trail and got stuck in hip deep snow without snowshoes. Hearing explosions from avalanche detentions now. Next, I got my remote standup and writing code for the next couple hours. Not a bad life IMO. Also, Breckenridge has better Mexican food than anywhere in SF.

In the Northeast US and west coast of US, I’ve never used a water purifier.
The most well-known filter brand in the US is Brita which is a pitcher you buy with a replaceable filter. Costs around $20 per filter which last "2-6 months". Probably an order of magnitude more expensive than what you pay in India. It's definitely as a very middle-class thing in US; and to the extent it removes minerals and flouride from the water its arguably detrimental (tap water is generally trusted to be safe.)

Oddly, I recall that the "workaround" solution being to the Flint crisis was to ship in tons of bottled water. Cheap filters, if they remove lead and bacteria fully, would seem like a much more cost effective way.
There are lots of people here worried about starlink, if you looked at any of the articles on starlink. No one brought it up here because that's not what this article is about.

There are two issues with sunlight and iToF. The sunlight photons saturate the pixel, and you get no useful measurement. The dominant noise source of iToF is photon shot noise [1], so sunlight photons contribute heavily to noise. Increase your laser power, use better optical notch filters, decrease the sensor integration time, and do more image filtering. I'm a cofounder at Chronoptics and we've developed a sunlight capable ToF camera, https://youtu.be/7vMI37S0w3Q

I’ve lived in a small city for the past 20 years that went from being a very sleepy, homogenous, and cheap to crowded, busy, and expensive. Both conditions have their pros and cons. Restaurants and night life used to be dull and limited, office jobs were fairly scarce and there was a culture of aggressive ignorance. Those things have improved but now lower income people can’t afford to live in an apartment without sharing with multiple roommates, crime, drug abuse and homelessness are exploding where they were at practically 0 before, home ownership is out of reach for a lot of people and many of the unique local businesses and institutions have collapsed due to rent increases. As far as I can tell, most people are on average worse off than they were before, there’s less of a sense of community, people are more rushed and have less time to relax and socialize, there isn’t the same level of trust between strangers and a hundred other little things. Maybe people were a bit poorer and more intolerant of outsiders before but a lot has been lost for only a little improvement.

So this is what Apple did with the app store.

Applications used to be distributed everywhere, but Apple tightly controlled the platform and crippled the web browser. They even prevented Flash and other runtimes so they would be the only way to get native control on the device.

They "rolled up" computing.

What scummy behavior.

Lol YouTube giving their CEO an award for freedom of expression is just about the most Orwellian thing I’ve seen in a long, long time.

And it seems like they did it without it being a joke which is absurd and scary too. They are so far in their own bubble and echo chamber they have no idea what the real world thinks or cares.
They are not allowed to do the same job as a Google employee because Google does not want them to ever become an employee - even though they do need many full time people for that job.
This is absolutely why I refuse to purchase any smart home products that aren't fully functional within the Apple Home app. If something cannot work offline and without a central service then it doesn't belong in my home.

I think that's the primary value proposition for Apple HomeKit and I'm really quite sad that more companies, and Apple themselves, don't put more effort into supporting it.
What is the iOS IDFA, and Why is Facebook angry with Apple?

I bought some FEIT rgb smartbulbs at costco (there were on sale I think it was $5 or $10 each) but yes I don't like the outsourced service (tuya), even though I normally turn them off with a switch. I even wrote FEIT suggesting they make a slightly more expensive hobby version where you can still overwrite the esp32 firmware, etc so you don't need this "free" service and could connect the directly to say something like home assistant. I think I would willing to pay something (maybe $5) just for the keys to overwrite the firmware, like the license you have to buy for your raspberry pi to use the mpeg-2.
TLDR: If you're considering working for a staffing company like the one mentioned in the article don't do it. You can do better and are capable of much more.

I worked for a couple of staffing companies in the Washington D.C. area in my twenties and reflecting back I view it as a mistake (or at least tough learning experience for a naive college grad). Ultimately, dead-end jobs like these prolonged my journey to landing a job as a developer with a company that actually valued me and treated me with respect.

I ground through contractor jobs because I told myself two lies:

#1. “This is not an ideal situation, but I’m an optimist and will make the best of it.”. Wrong, the truth is that I approached the company and took the job. I may have been a little inexperienced in the ways of the world but I knew full well that these were dead-end jobs. The limitations for potential personal growth, or professional advancement, were clearly documented in the onboarding process. Finding a good job is a real undertaking, requires some luck, and doesn’t have a fixed timeline. Something I also didn’t consider is the impression I would give to future employers later down the road when I listed a staffing company on my resume. It’s funny that a less confident version of myself found so much optimism when considering powering through a bad situation, but I couldn’t spare any of that optimism if I dreamed of reaching for something higher.

#2. “I’m a hard worker and I’ll survive the layoffs through merit”. Wrong, the truth is that the vast majority of the contractors I worked with were eventually laid off (or resigned) and I don’t think poorly of them for it. In fact, the few buddies that I have kept in touch with all eventually moved on to better things. I found the paths they chose after leaving to be inspiring. They took on more challenging jobs, started graduate school, moved to another city, etc. I on the other hand quietly worked off the clock on nights and weekends to mitigate my chances of being laid off. At the time, I told myself that I was acting out of virtue, but really it was fear. My strategy carried me for a long time, but eventually the psychological impact of being treated as a second rate human being caught up to me.

Just sharing my own personal reflections on a very specific set of experiences in case someone finds themselves with similar thoughts.
Berkshire really doesn't think that way, though. Their operations are largely distinct and don't really inter-communicate or plan. Fairly recently, one of their businesses sustained a large loss, and the casualty insurer paid out a handsome sum, so the business actually came out ahead. But the downside was that the insurer was one of Berkshire's subsidiaries. This was evidently unplanned and unknown ahead of time at the top level, but shows the decentralized structure of Berkshire is not just in name only.
This could be incredibly helpful.

The thing about a physical bookstore is that everything is not smushed down into beige metadata. The neon green cover says something. The 6" x 6" x 2" book stands out from its tradebound neighbors.

Some books are spine out. Some books are front cover spaced. Some wrapped in plastic. Some beaten to soft corners by years of thumb throughs.

Do you have a separate git repo for the deploy config/manifests? Or just force-push your `master` branch to the `staging` and `production` branches to do a deploy (i.e. not keeping full history in the env branches)?

I've seen both advocated for, interested in what the consensus is.
Yep. I think that if we have a bad feeling about being behind, it's more likely because there's something else that we Actually feel bad about, but "being behind" is an easy thing to attribute it to. More likely there are some childhood/family/psychiatric issues being unaddressed. At least, I've discovered this about myself.

Because if they're doing the job an FTE does, they should be full-time from the start. Otherwise, a company could be doing software development or food delivery or whatever and have no employees at all, merely having them all be "independent" "contractors" with very few legal protections.
Dwarf-size daily actionable advice for founders with kids
Thank you for that link, I thought (production build) rust panic was simply a core dump. I didn't realize there was stack unwinding going on.
If you think deploying often (not 125k per year), load balancing, and a fully declaratively defined operational process to what is essentially an industry standard is overkill, then yeah to some it might be. But Kubernetes is a standard and if you know it then you might as well use it even for smaller companies that dont really need the brawny features of it.

In the end, theres nothing mandating that you would save a a lot of money throwing it out of the equation.
Of course. Many wells have quality water while some will turn your clothes and appliances orange
crates.io and the Rust community adheres to semantic versioning.

If ring wants to notify me that I should update, they should send an email to a security mailing list, open a CVE, register the cve in any of the rust services to notify users with those dependencies (there are some, like crev), etc.

Pruning your releases from crates.io just means that I am going to be annoyed the first time it happens, will start looking for a solution the second time it happens, and it won't happen a third time (and it didn't). If you want to wake me up a Saturday at 4 am, the world better be on fire.

This is probably the only dependency I can remember as being... more than annoying, toxic. I still prevent any of my dependencies from ending up with ring as a dependency. If that shows up in our dependency tree, CI fails, and that change cannot be committed. Unfortunately, this pruning of old releases was only one of the issues with ring (there were others, like cross-compiling it wasn't easy, etc.). All in all it was a no brainer to drop it as a dependency.

I don't think I've ever met a rust dev with something nice to say about `ring`. In a meetup a couple of years ago another rustacean said: "`ring` is so secure that it protects you from using it in your projects". Sums it pretty well.

The library has couple of thousands of daily downloads so for the latest version, and like 25k daily downloads for other versions, so maybe things changed now.

You're looking at this through a very American lens. The riots were kindled by the many frustrations of being a migrant worker in Singapore, which are much more about class/poverty than skin color (for one thing, there is a very large Chinese migrant worker contingent as well), and it was triggered by a traffic accident, not (eg) police brutality.

If we'd been better about crack/cocaine, opioids wouldn't have hit so hard. If UI benefits weren't designed to be difficult to acquire, the ongoing problems states are having distributing them in this crisis wouldn't have happened. Right now, people living in small towns that are being effected by an influx of monied transplants have a roadmap of how this process works. If they so wish, they can disrupt it, and insist that, as new wealth pours into their area, a substantial portion of it is put towards improving the area for current residents, and towards securing their socioeconomic right to remain there. Sometimes that means telling rich people no and foregoing a short-term pretty penny, and being ready when they come after you for denying them. But that's much easier than watching your community disperse to parts unknown while yuppies live it up in your childhood home-cum-gutted minimalist smart bohemabode.

Levels of Us vs. Them – Gilad Peleg
If the other emitter/sensor pairs are uncorrelated with our own, and if we integrate over enough transmit/receive cycles, then the other pairs will contribute approximately equally to both of our own two sensor phase detectors. The method descibed here uses the difference between the sensor phase detectors, so any competing interference should cancel out. It will (just) raise the background noise floor a bit.
You can also use containers for that.

I'm running Phatch under Ubuntu 12.04 via LXD on an Ubuntu 20.04 machine (which was maybe 14.04 or 16.04 when I first set it up to do some batch image processing), and it's working fine.

Gilad Peleg shares a helpful framing you should use when leading a team as a manager or as a technical lead. How do you see your reach and influence today? Are you gaining context to increase your organizational impact? When you say "Us" who do you have in mind? Do you think that others will agree with you about it? I agree with Gilad that the "Us (Team) Vs. Them" leader can feel productive and successful but: "leaders at this level can be very harmful to the organization because they solve for the local (team) maximum, and it's very rare that this correlates with the global (organization) maximum. In fact, I've personally experienced leaders at this level creating all sorts of havoc and chaos in the organization, while taking their team to the top."
