So when using the barebones webcam protocol, the webcams look bad, when using custom software for the webcams or iphones, the results are much better.

Why is the conclusion that the hardware is bad, not that the method of using the hardware is bad?
Yeah this aligns pretty well with the research.

There's a lot we don't know. But it definitely does appear that a lot of obese people have some sort of homeostatic miscalibration on where their body's set point is for weight. The mechanisms involved there are numerous and complex. It's quite possible that there's something simple going on that could be adjusted in the future to get a person's weight set point down, and from there it's quite likely that they will be able to autoregulate. Conversely, it's really hard for any intervention to succeed long-term when a person's weight doesn't match this internal set point.

I also share your experience. Never saw management or PO complaining about developers taking time to optimise. I actually never even saw an experienced developer taking an inordinate time to optimise something. It's always refactoring and rewriting that takes too much time (and often causes performance regressions).

Developers however are quick to point that optimisation is "not in the interest of the business", as can be seen in this very topic, or that something is "good enough" since a lot of people are using.

Yes, all languages we're using are Turing complete. Yes, you can fashion a foot-gun out of every language. Also, some languages make speed easily accessible.
There is a book called “Number, Shape, & Symmetry”. You can download it at z-lib.org. It’s a book that will give you the flavor of mathematics and prove some of the basic algebraic properties. It does not require calculus but will require a desire to understand. It’s an art form to read mathematics and understand. I recommend the book along with using a tutor or math.stackexchange.com.

Good luck!
Jiggle programmers isn't a type of person, it's a phase juniors go through. There's a lot of stuff to cram into your brain as a junior, and when you don't have a complete model of how things work it can be basically impossible to come up with an approach that has a chance of working on the first try.

In my opinion the way to get them through it is loads of pair programming and stopping them and reminding them they haven't stopped to think about the entire context when you catch them doing it (or when they come to ask for help in the ideal case).

I'm not sure if I ever went through this phase, but not everyone has the luxury of developing their programming skills at a leisurely pace from highschool all the way through college.

Lol at the comment around Microsoft's "anti-competitive efforts" which were making IE a core part of Windows, in a thread about Chrome OS which makes Chrome core to the OS, and in a world where Chrome has the dominant market share and is solidifying it by building it into their products.
Of course there isn't. That's why we're still looking for one.

Looking for easy solutions is very understandable, re: the original topic.
The profit motive does a poor job of handling the externalities journalism should be addressing. But govt control of the media landscape to the degree you're talking about can easily hamstring the important adversarial function journalism has vis-a-vis govt.

Butterfly Keyboard ( And arguably the new Magic Keyboard ) with little to no Key travel distance, along with Larger Trackpad which create false positive input were two key minus design features.

This is not true at all. There's perhaps a preference toward fat but muscle wasting absolutely occurs during fasting, and often at a relatively significant rate.

If you were to "run out of fat" entirely, you'd simply die with fairly significant caloric reserves in the form of muscle. This is not what is observed.
This made me laugh.

> Using an iPhone as a webcam is easily the best option without dropping an excess of $1,000 for professional camera gear. Using the iPhone you already own, or a recent hand-me-down, a moderate investment in lighting, and Reincubate Camo, you can get excellent results and none of the frustration and hassle that accompanies standalone webcams.

I don't have an iPhone. So if I want to buy one that is better than any of the webcams reviewed, I'm spending a couple hundred bucks at least. Then I need to spend $50/year or so on their Camo software.

For a couple hundred bucks I can get a used Sony Alpha, OBS is free. And arguably with effort I can make the Sony look much better.

This is a stretch, of course. The average person isn't going to fuck around with OBS.

Let's think of it another way. For <$100 you can have a webcam that works. It's better than nothing. Is an iPhone plus TFA's software better? Yes. Is it better proportional to the cost? Absolutely not. I'm not even convinced it's twice as good. I have some colleagues who use Camo, happily, but as a viewer in a Zoom meeting, I don't care. They're usually the size of a postage stamp on my screen. Most folks can't even upload full resolution streams of their cheap webcams in real-time.

Camo is cool, it's great that you can use your phone as a webcam, I love it, but "Why $90 webcams aren't as good as a $1000+ iPhone" would be a better title.
Do you think a bearer asset like cash has zero use cases? Bitcoin allows settlement much like this with a party that doesn't need to be identified and already trusted by a central clearing house. Of course this can be dangerous and might not be desirable for every transaction, but there clearly a technological achievement to make it possible.
As someone who has kicked off multiple "from 0" projects, including a startup and been on the initial team doing an entire embedded runtime,

Blank source files are scary yo.

There are a near infinite number of choices that can be made when confronted with a blank file. And the ramifications of those initial choices will live on, possibly for decades! (I spent 10 years at Microsoft where it wasn't uncommon to come across 20+ year old code still in use.)

More than once I've initialized a new project, started at my blank folder structure, and spent a few minutes thinking "here we go again".
This is very much not true; I lost over 100lbs and saw the evidence in myself, before I adjusted and started eating a high protein low calorie diet. If you don't consume protein and don't work out, you will lose muscle mass, even if you have fat to burn. This is because muscle tissue is expensive to maintain; the body tends to reduce it if it's not being used.
> just use a decent cam in the laptop

I mean, phone cameras will literally always be better than laptop cameras. They're just a lot bigger.

Edit: I should clarify this a little. From my understanding, camera quality is pretty overwhelmingly limited by lens quality. Better lenses require a thicker / deeper camera housing, which is hard to stuff into the top lid of a laptop. Phones are "always" (although that might not be true forever!) going to have more space for bigger and better lenses.
We mention CAPI but certainly not 2.0 since the CAPI we are referring to is "Cluster API" and they only have 1.0.

Solution to weight problem that I found is simple, even if somewhat expensive: dietary catering (as in: having ready-made meals delivered to your doorstep).

The problem isn't usually quantity of food, but quality. Having 5 pre-packaged, healthy, low GI meals delivered makes it quite easy to follow the diet. Also, you don't even have to reduce calorie intake in the beginning: feel free to order 2500-3000 calorie option, if you so wish. You won't be losing any weight on that, but at least your metabolism, your glucose levels will stabilize. Then, after 2-3 weeks adjustment period, change your calorie intake to 1500 calories and continue for another month or two - the results are almost magical.
I think the main issue is just that "efficient" can misleading to dieters. It's not efficiency as in "do more with less," but rather, "do less with less."

As your body sheds fat, it no longer needs to expend energy building, preserving, and keeping your fatty tissue warm. JIT energy use instead of lossy battery storage. It doesn't further slow your metabolism beyond what you are genetically predisposed towards, but metabolism does slow (a little bit). Another way to think of this is, when you consume in excess of what you need for healthy living, your body begins consuming additional calories in order to build and support the additional long-term reserves you are creating and maintaining. We have decades of research supporting this notion (as well as common sense).

There may also be an aspect of "hibernation" that kicks in when dramatic caloric restriction is suddenly introduced. That is, you are further inclined to be less active as you lose weight quickly. I'm less certain of that, though.
That's the exact scentiment the parent to my comment is suggesting; I'm saying that GDPR agencies probably aren't going to care at all about the type of data sent to a web host when all they're doing is serving fonts for 3p websites.
Secure from whom? The mob? China? The US government? Google?

I'm more worried about the last two than the first two. It'd be illegal for them to secure it against US law enforcement, and they don't claim they're secure the data they log against access from themselves.
Personally I would cut off more. "Early access to Chrome OS Flex" is the factual statement about the topic of the post and "The upgrade PCs and Macs have been waiting for" isn't

You don’t have to rely on M^2 (miaomiao) anymore with the Libre 2 since it has BT, You can use the xdrip4ios app directly. Unfortunately the test flight campaign is full (https://testflight.apple.com/join/6ZqKUGpm) so you can’t install the app anymore over the testflight App Store :(
You need a good tutor. I suggest finding a math major at a local university to teach you.

The problem is that, from what I can infer from your description, you don't have the fundamental skills necessary to self-tech effectively. You could try using some of the resources mentioned by other commenters, but chances are this process will much more tedious than if you had a mentor, and you'll probably come to believe various incorrect things that you'll have to unlearn later. Real-time feedback and correction would be more effective.

Also, I disagree with some of the advice given here. (Suggesting resources on Coq and ZFC to someone asking how exponents work? Really?) Tread carefully, and prefer the recommendations of people who have experience teaching high school students and undergraduates.

Not only he didn’t imagine candidates would Google interview questions, but he also didn’t sit and watch they write code. It’s not an interview, it's a take home assignment, but in-person.

You get very few signals just looking at the finished result. You should let the candidate ask you questions and progressively improve the solution. And you should progressively make the task more complex, because it’s not a binary evaluation. A good code interview must rank candidates.
Honestly, you could have said from the start you wanted them to pull over.

You started with "Don't ride on narrow back-county roads where you block the regular flow of traffic.". That sounds to me like, don't do it at all, not "please pull over every so often to allow card to pass".
I did quite a lot of research to find a camera with decent picture quality in low light conditions. I do multiple work calls almost every evening. I ended up buying also a key light and a microphone. I think in this age of remote work, it’s the right thing to do for your colleagues to invest in this equipment. It’s kinda annoying when 20 people on the call cannot hear your or see you properly.
I think the business logic point would have some people disagreeing. I talked to a VP of Engineering of a company using Rust and Elixir and he said their heuristic of when to choose Rust is "will the requirements change a lot over time?". If they expect a lot of changes they would go with Rust, cause with all of the compile type checks refactorings are easier for them. They are in a web apps space, btw.

I haven't worked on any bigger production projects in Rust, so how to say if it would be a common experience, but sounds interesting

General recommendation specifically for the Valve-like case:

You can check variables as many ways you want, just do this too - safety net in case there's an eventual gap
I have had no heating problems whatsoever. Mostly its been in use for 1-2 hour sessions at a time, occasionally longer. I do turn the camera off in between though, so it's not turned on 24/7.

Most annoying is a bug in the Canon webcam driver, if the camera is switched off, it displays a static image, which somehow fully occupies a single core on my machine. I would have thought encoding a still image into a video stream should be doable with less cpu cycles.
They are now forced to tell you what they are doing. That it makes you angry is a design goal.
I can't find it but I distinctly remember a HN post a few (1-2?) years ago, a blog post rant about how webcams are so bad relative to phone cameras.

I think the guy wanted to do a kickstarter to disrupt the industry (and 90% of the HN comments were telling him he would fail).
Microsoft Teams has live transcription feature too unfortunately if you don't speak in a native or near native US or UK English accent the results are quite bad.
Not in my experience. I'm curious why you would you expect it to overheat?
I think that if you want to go away from "proofs written in shorthand by humans for other humans", then you are talking about formal verification of proofs. So, you are talking about something like making your proofs understandable to Coq or Isabelle, or maybe reading how others did it: you can start from http://us.metamath.org/
Care to share the results of your research?
My partner works at a private school where the students pay more than a typical university to attend - lots of business and celebrity parents. I was surprised to find out that some of the teachers are indeed paid less than they would be if they worked at a public school. If they've worked there a long time, then their pay is significantly better, so there is incentive to stick with it at one location.

However, the perks are better. For one, if they have children, they can attend the school for free. They also get very sophisticated lunches that only cost them $5/day.
I read that pretty carefully, and didn't see anything about not saving and correlating the visit with other logs they have.
On the consumer side: not until people can actually afford casually dedicating the bandwidth necessary to deal with multiple 4k streams. Because either you need a truly monumentally liberal internet plan for sending uncompressed 4k at a normal frame rate, or you need a hardware encoder (baked in to your motherboard or discrete graphics card, or as separate purchase) to make sure you can send compressed 4k. And that only covers the sending part, you need to also receive and have the hardware capable of smoothly rendering the 4k video stream you're receiving.

But more importantly, on the industry side: given that live TV broadcasts are still 1080p, the answer here is almost certainly "not until the broadcasting world decides live 4k by default is even remotely worth it."
> while one of my golden rules is to never trust any scale that lacks a base unit.

BMR is a very real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate

> It is reported in energy units per unit time ranging from watt (joule/second) to ml O2/min or joule per hour per kg body mass J/(h·kg).

There has been plenty of research into this, see this study into the variance among people for example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15534426/

If you do the math, you'll find that the resting number of calories people burn will vary by a few hundred per day based on their metabolism.

I agree that there is too much woo around the science of weight loss but at the same time we don't need to act like there aren't real facts that we do know.
I do not think this is true.

Strong junior programmers usually fail by rewriting everything from scratch, having no concept of DRY, libraries, or how to effectively break logic into methods. But inability to generate their own code is not a common failure mode!

It's only weak junior programmers (that is, people who simply are not going to become strong developers) who approach a problem and, in the absence of the ability to write code from scratch, try to find something to copy-paste.
Pretty much this. The least obvious at the time, but looks extremely obvious in retrospective.

You and your friend are tightly linked on the social graph. Your friend starts watching a new show and keeps googling and watching stuff about it and talking about it with other people online.

While the system won't recommend to you every single thing your friend watches and likes, it knows that for some of those the likelihood of your tastes matching is high. E.g., you might not like horror movies unlike your friend, so the algo wont be recommending them to you, despite your friend watching those. But the algo knows you both like crime dramas, so as soon as your close-social-link-connection-friend starts watching and googling and talking about Breaking Bad, the algo thinks you might like it too, so you start getting suggestions for it.

It is kind of silly, but it is indeed scarily way more accurate/effective to predict recommendations that way, as opposed to doing very invasive stuff like actually trying to listen to mic or correlate locations or whatever else (not even mentioning that on modern phone OSs it is somewhere between very difficult and pretty much impossible to do in a legitimate way).

Tldr: if you have close social connections whose certain media tastes match yours in some specific niches, don't be surprised that when one of those social links starts watching and enjoying something in those specific niches (and googling about it and talking about it to others online and etc.), you might get recs for that type of content too.
I'm also in this server. It's honestly the single best place, with the one caveat that you must be serious about it. I've gone through proofs, basic algebra, basic analysis, linear algebra, metric spaces, and am currently doing deeper work on Ring Theory, Statistics and Set Theory, all under the PhD's guidance, and it's literally worth its weight in gold.
The movies play on unmodified players. This would be like making it so the only thing your tv can play is stuff you torrented.
That probably won't work for everyone. Personally, the times I've had to diet down to a lower bodyweight, I find it MUCH easier to maintain that diet with 100% adherence. If I just abstain from calorically dense foods entirely, and mentally remove those things from the list I consider food, it's MUCH, MUCH easier for me to maintain the prescribed diet.

Otherwise, I will crave those foods. But if I just create a wall in my brain where I no longer consider such things food, it's way easier for me to stick to with way less willpower. It's like my brain recalibrates and shifts the whole baseline to a healthier level, rather than having to use willpower alone to keep my eating where it needs to be.
Your comment reminds me of Jeff Goldblum’s character in the movie The Fly, when the reporter asks him how he could have built the teleportation system by himself and he says:

“I don’t work alone. There’s a lot of stuff in here that I don’t even understand. I’m really a systems management guy, I farm bits and pieces out to people who are much more brilliant than I am. But none of them really knows what the project is. I say build me a laser this, or a molecular analyzer that - and they do, I just stick them all together.”

I recently had to build an e-commerce portal for our customers to be able to order 3D printed parts on-demand. Did I write my own algorithms for rendering 3MF files and calculating the volume of a mesh? Nope, I just used three.js and a mesh volume algorithm I found on Stack Overflow and problem solved.
Interesting how the author never considered re-training their programmers instead of "re-interviewing" them, after all they were not far from understanding the basis as he claims.
