I only suspect the camera is trash. I know nothing about drones.

I know that with these new digital toys the more traditional rules of photography are no longer embraced as rules to be broken but rather they are treated as a grab bag of techniques with no rhyme or reason. The equipment tends to reflect this. These cameras are hot rods rather than tools, which benefits nobody. These things are designed to be used one single way and that’s it. It should be unsurprising that they produce such repetitive results. They are not designed for creative endeavors but rather for some type of extreme performance. They are not modular. They are not repairable. They don’t even have a symmetrical lens hood lol. The drone stuff is the worst of it I’m sure, and I just find it sad.
> there’s a layer in between that allows at the very least for the handling of deprecated fields/new fields/renames etc.

That sounds pretty reasonable. Not so different from tossing JSON objects into MongoDB or something like that.

No, but a career typically lasts 40 years, and the "Senior" title is acquired from 5-15 years in - generously. Just given a bell curve distribution, even weighted, IBM should be hiring >50% "Senior" engineers.
Agreed, the technology is really impressive, but it makes no sense to own (in Los Angeles) since it's heavily restricted for hobbyists.

It's not all about speed. Vim keybindings match more closely to how I reason about code(such as replacing text within brackets. Using a mouse is a distraction from cognitive flow.
Compared to what? Their pricing is in-line with the previous Intel models and are a huge upgrade in performance. For some tasks, you have to look at a desktop configuration for comparable performance (at a much higher price).
> Consul - EVERYONE should use service discovery, cloud or not.

Discovery means that you don’t know your service name? Or endpoints? How can one lose his service? Im def missing something :)
You likely know this as a Unity developer, but my understanding is the native M1 support was added in 2021.2 , released a few weeks ago.

> As a self-taught I'm getting the impression that, while I'm learning the basics following tutorials, FreeCodeCamp, the Odin Project etc. there's no one calling me back for interviews, and the cause for that is the type of projects that I'm building.

What causes you to get that impression? That the issue is the projects you are building, not something else? Feedback from the hiring manager? A feeling? A word from someone on the inside? Or something else?

Because as a (former) hiring manager, I can tell you there are any number of reasons that you aren't getting the interview.

* other folks are better
* there was a typo on your resume
* you weren't in the first 50 submitted and they trashed the rest
* your resume didn't indicate you could meet the need
* your projects were underwhelming
* they decided to not hire (budget!)
* they shifted the job reqs
* an employee referred someone they knew for the position

I could go on. The point is there are many reasons that you might not get an interview.

So if you don't have explicit feedback that it is the projects, it may not be.

I don't have a magic hiring wand (oh, at times I wish I did), but I've seen a few newer developers get hired and the ones that did stood out in some way that was relevant to the job. They had background, projects, knowledge, connections, etc that was relevant to the position.

I know nothing about your situation other than what you shared, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I'd start targeting companies where you have an edge.

What kind of edge?

* Well, have you done any other kind of work? Look for companies doing that or consulting firms helping companies do that. This can be related (did you work in a restaurant as a host? Then you know customer service; look for companies that help folks automate customer service interactions).
* Do you have any hobbies that relate to work (other than coding)? Look for companies that such hobbies might apply to.

Look for that edge! You have one and all it takes is one yes.

Finally, to actually answer your question, I think that a friend's advice is best: helping on an open source (OSS) project is probably the best kind of project you can do. Not a project you build and slap the MIT license on, but a real OSS project. Why? Because that will illustrate a number of things:

* you can work on a team
* you can do things other than code (test, doc, customer support, etc)
* you will work in public
* you can work remotely
* you can write (if you do writing)
* you can code
* you can take feedback

All of these are very valuable skills that are ancillary to coding, and with an OSS project you can demonstrate them.

CPU % is such a complex metric that it hardly means anything real other than an general feel for how busy the system is.

I have seen on linux that I can be running something that uses 100% and the cpu is at 50c, then I run prime95 also at 100% and the cpu instantly hits 99c
I don't think he's wrong, but probably the risk Apple cares most about is to its business.

I'd appreciate Apple being a bit more up front about the iPhone/App Store business model: Apple makes handheld game systems (games account for ~75% of the App Store business), and makes money from "free to play" games by licensing/taxing DLC.
Totally different.

The attacks on VOIP vendors mostly used UDP amplification, which relies on having a server that can fake its source IP due to an incompetent (or complicit!) network provider, while this is a botnet (that is only about a week old).
Looks amazingly like launches on apple.com
Loadbalancer and AWS ASG that registers/unregisters VMs to loadbalancer. Or AWS ECS that does the same for containers.

Using bluetooth to track devices? How is this news.

Commercial tools have been available to do just this for a decade. Cities commonly use bluetooth sniffers to gather LAPs from passing cars to estimate travel times and detect traffic jams. I'd bet good money that the device used in this article was an ubertooth, a basic tool that I have had in my wifi tricks box for nearly ten years. Such basic sniffers are integrated into any many of commercial solutions. If you are running with your bluetooth system powered on you have effectively opted into every such system.

"Our advanced queue warning systems use Bluetooth and WiFi to collect information from and about vehicles. If it’s taking longer than normal for vehicles to travel a certain distance, you can alert drivers to change their plans."
With respect to DJI your concerns are well-founded. DJI drones contain spyware and the US DoD has banned their purchase.

Wow, the bibliography is 136 pages. Looks like a lot of work went into the book.
This is changing with v3 that is slated to be released before the end of the year. The JIT compiler for Tailwind is becoming the default now that it has had a year+ to bake in the wild and prove itself as reliable.

As far as the toolchain goes, meh. Building on PostCSS allowed the Tailwind team a lot of power with minimal complexity and it appears to have paid off for them. The JIT is plenty fast as is now; so fast in fact, that you can now run it in on a CDN build for prototyping/MVP.

The body is ~$5750 which is not peanuts, but it's not $50K either.
Much of the flavor of meat comes from the fat. Not being able to create the lipid stores that naturally occur in meat will remove a lot of what makes it so good. Mainly flavor and texture. It's a complicated problem, growing lipid cells structured as they are in a body is an entirely new problem
You'll get there eventually but a quick level up: it's only that way because you don't know how it works at it's base level and nobody will be able to fix it until they do. You have to spend the time digging in and if you don't then don't be surprised if it doesn't work, that's going to be every system you work on though. Not everyone has the time to put in when a new better framework comes out every 6 months. So I use old shit :D it still works and it's still fast and I know it backwards and forwards. Html and Javascript with a backend that generates all the shit so I don't need to make backend calls add socket io for loading stuff after the page is loaded. No framework except the server side, and that depends on the language.
If you want to get really frustrated but level up super fast on multiple languages and frameworks? Install JHipster, and then change something. It's amazing how easy it is to break and what a giant pita it is to fix, but i do it all the time because you really gotta get in there and poke and prod until you figure out the problem.

Her Twitter account was one of the most interesting ones I followed. Unfortunately, even though I had never interacted with her, she blocked me out of the blue some months ago. I was entirely confused at first. From what little I could find out, she did a mass block of her followers who were also following another person she was having some major Twitter drama with. I never quite figured out exactly who or why though.
It's a direct and very shameless rip of Apple's website. Down to the color choices and animation styles.
PBO allows overclocking[1]. But it mainly allows you to configure other stuff, liking raising/lowering certain limits, that are not overclocking. Changing these values will not make your CPU reach voltages it wouldn't otherwise have reached, nor will it make your CPU reach clock speeds it wouldn't otherwise hit. It will however make your CPU draw more amps and use more watts to sustain clocks for longer than normal and on more cores at once.

Allowing here means that in the typical motherboard you'll have to change PBO from the default "Auto" to "Manual" to see these settings.

Where do terms like "undervolting", "overvolting", "setting TDP" even fit in your vocabulary if you insist everything is to be called "overclocking"? These terms should be literally self-explanatory.

[1] But only technically, because for some reason the AutoOC feature is found in the PBO menu on motherboards, even though AutoOC is not part of PBO. They are however typically marketed together.
Since we're now talking about "get a really accurate set of measurements", are you actually saying "Can someone get to the Computer History Museum and do some serious photogrammetry of [1] when they reopen?" (Or maybe [2] or one of their other artifacts)

The obvious answer is a 5-10% salary increment. That's a red flag because it takes a very long time for someone to become useful, even a senior. You don't want to invest in someone who just leaves 8 months later for a slightly higher salary.

If we were offering a 30% increment or something that's stupid to turn down, that's not so bad.

The other thing is gauging culture fit. Are you looking for growth? Well, this is a write hacky stuff based off designs so you're not going to be happy here.

Are you moving closer to home? Why pick us when we're the same distance?

Do you think your previous job has no financial security? We should probably let you know that we only have 11 months runway.
Lots of businesses and industries are doing this. Credentials are rapidly losing value.
I've seen little to no hype based on synthetic benchmarks.

M1 macs are just really damn fast for daily usage.

My M1 Macbook Air blows my 16" out of the water in every conceivable way. I'd elaborate but there seriously isn't any dimension of it that isn't an improvement. Maybe the smaller display?
I dealt with a bunch of these types of issues at my previous workplace. They used cheap consumer Windows tablets for point-of-sale kiosks.

Trying to maintain a single deployable Windows 10 image for these devices was a real pain and it often was the touchscreen drivers that gave issues. Drivers with the same device/driver IDs but different settings if I remember correctly (it's been awhile since I was involved in this stuff). Touchscreen orientation and calibration was also a nuisance between models, which is where I suspect some of the driver customizations done by the OEMs are needed.

I think the market forces are just getting something as cheap as possible to market that satisfies the bare minimum. It's assumed that you won't be fresh installing anything onto them. I found a lot of hardware in this class was okay as a single-purpose device where you'd only ever be running one application at a time (though barely so if what you're running is a web browser).
Microsoft are actively hostile towards JavaScript now. I have been monitoring the progress of vscode's support for JavaScript and noticed that it now clearly a second class citizen. The TypeScript compiler now declares valid and working JavaScript as having errors, and these are displayed to the user in vscode. One example is the usePrevious hook as mentioned on the react website. If you mouse over its signature in vscode, you will see it is undefined -> undefined. This is because useRef() has no argument, and the generic type is inferred from this argument, and JavaScript has no way to do useRef<T>();
I’m trying to understand the problem this project solves but failing. Can you explain? Is this only for dedicated hardware?
Are you implying Tailwind is operating as the traditional startup? It's the exact opposite. Fully profitable right now with 8+ employees and what I would assume is tons of the money in the bank having listened to tons of interviews by Adam Wathan.

The Tailwind team is just insanely talented and committed to quality at every level. Not everything is a SV game of marketing and smoke screens.

I've been looking for a Personal Knowledge Base (?) for a while and have started using Obsidian. I love the idea of the tags, backlinks, and Graph view but the editor itself leaves much to be desired (besides the fact that it's not vi(m)); whoever came up with the default color scheme (medium/light grey on dark grey) needs to be shot.

So how do they compare? If I can do everything I want with vim(wiki) I won't bother with Obsidian.

I hear that VSCode is going to incorporate backlinks and will be a better Obsidian than Obsidian is.
Not even a single mention of how many nanoseconds long the fiber is going to be. I fail to see how naming an asset after Grace Hopper does anything other than ride on her coat tails.
What if the ransomware infiltrated 3 months ago but was not activated until now? Restoring a 3-month old backup is not useful if the data changes significantly each day.
> Developers chose the App Store to distribute their apps there.

Devs chose to address the iOS market.

Every other choice from there is Apple's, and it's their way or the highway. No, PWAs don't work in most cases, as it doesn't benefit Apple as much.
I believe these are actually one of the lowest markups Apple has and in general a great deal.

Consider this:
1. 14” or 16” custom miniLED display
2. Anodized one-piece aluminum clamshell
3. Completely custom SoC (much more expensive than buying Intel’s latest, at least in the short-term)
4. Completely custom OS with a full suite of native apps
5. Custom MagSafe adapter
6. Thunderbolt 4 (3 of them)

Now consider that this laptop outperforms most desktop workstations that cost $4k+…and does it on 16h of battery life.

If you’re in the market for a high-performance computer, you’d have to be dense to not buy one of these (or building x86 firmware)

These aren't too expensive, the M1 Macbooks are just really good values.

Before the M1 Air an entry-level MBP was the only "serious" choice for productivity. Even if you weren't a professional, an Air could be limiting.

Now we have an $800 laptop that can compete with the previous MBPs. The MBP can actually be a pro-only machine.
That’s a neat concept for a site. A bit Australia specific for some of the trivia, but that likely doesn’t matter, because you aren’t penalized in any way for getting questions wrong. It’s a way of showing your own bias in your own confidence.

Is there more info about this site and what it’s intended audience and goals are?
Totally off-topic, but where did the idea come from that landing sites are supposed to look like that? How am I even supposed to navigate this fucking thing? It's so frustrating when I try to scroll and objects start flying around frantically in random directions, then there are about 5 screens with literally no information, then a fading label appears that requires trying really hard to bring it into focus. Did they sell me Mavic 3? No fucking way, I (quite literally) didn't even find it on their page.

And it's not like DJI have especially bad landing page for Mavic, it's no less that every third landing site looks like that nowadays. So, how do they all come up with the same nonsense? And when will this stop?
I agree with what LurkingPenguin said but in addition, many/most crypto traders don't consider it gambling. They think they're generating genuine alpha from researching various coins.

A single performance art piece, comprising a building, audience, and performance, is hardly an outrageous racist action, let alone comparable to, gosh, centuries of broad and deep racism. Lordy.
iOS isn't even the most popular OS in the world. Flash died because other people chose to let it, not Apple. Desktop OSes supported Flash through 2020 when it was end of lifed. Android is the most popular worldwide mobile OS, and Apple has no direct influence on what it runs.

And if Adobe had cared enough, they had enough clout to push Apple sometime in the past 5-10 years when the battery and CPU and GPU on iPhones/iPads hit the threshold that it made sense to return Flash to it.

But browser plugins like Flash and ActiveX were doomed once people started caring about the security of browsers, and once Google (via Chrome) and others started investing heavily in JS performance bring it closer to parity with Flash and removing features (like video playback) from Flash's domain and making it native to the browser.

It's also worth noting, that while Flash was barred from the browser, it wasn't barred from iOS once Apple opened up 3rd party development tools including Flash, which happened in 2010.

I'd say tech salaries have been waaaay ahead of inflation in the last 10 years.

When I was a junior, even a third of my current salary would be life-changing. Now the life changing bar is probably around half my current salary. Except back then you could only make the current salary as a manager, now it's just a mid range IC. Some other fields like accounting jobs hasn't caught up, so we're in a really good spot.

Corona and remote working also torpedoed real estate prices, so now the primary cost of living (homes) have become much more affordable. So inflation is not the only thing to look at.
