The front porch is a "public" area, in the sense that there's no expectation of privacy. It's as legal as if you were taking an iphone video or live photo of your car in the driveway and happened to catch the neighbor in the background.

Ring does have the ability to set "blackout zones" in the camera's FOV, and as a good neighbor the ring owner could have excluded the neighbor's driveway/porch with a few clicks.
Well, now it's been said... Scheme is my all-time favourite language. The regularity of Scheme's syntax, and the way scoping works in the language, are certainly influential on the way I'm going about designing this weird thing.

Teams is the worst Microsoft app i’ve used in terms of performance and reliability. critical UI elements like the mute button will suddenly disappear permanently. features like chat will disappear and reappear on reboot . i’ve been suddenly logged out in the middle of calls and prompted to enter microsoft login when it’s not needed . and ditto to the comments on memory and cpu consumption

Microsoft needs to fix teams asap
this reminds me of the compsoc cookbook(https://github.com/compsoc-edinburgh/cook-book), a git based cookbook made by members of the university of edinburghs computing society, it tends to get some new activity when a new term starts
I think MS should rewrite teams into .net or c++ just like the rest of office is written. Nobody would use Outlook if it was performing like Teams is today.
Teams chat seems to work fine on my 2021 MacBook Pro with M1 processor. We typically use zoom for video calls. MS Outlook on the other hand frequently crashes. Maybe there’s a memory leak issue?
No, you really can not: https://habr-com.translate.goog/ru/post/675802/?_x_tr_sl=ru&...
The activity notification issue is annoying.

Also: how can you provide a wiki module that’s not searchable?

Teams feels to me like it’s thrown together by a bunch of interns that are learning Agile. Keep changing things without any strategy.
...in addition to "vine".
3yrs going fullstack and I feel your pain.

I went with Nextjs with all its bells and whistles and expressjs (99% of cases is enough). Now I'm currently moving to MLE projects at work.

I only pay attention to new tech only if here's a huge demand (ie. Plenty of Jobs and good $$$). Only then I start learning it.

Nextjs/React won the frontend battle (atm). It's almost impossible to keep up + being specialist. Heck, it's equally difficult to be a generalist with new things coming up every 3/6 months.
Teams is hot garbage. But posting Teams bashing threads on HN feels just preaching to the choir and beating dead horse for some fake internet points. As per guidelines, I don't find the topic to gratify ones intellectual curiosity.
Teams definitely sucks, but this statement made me chuckle

>Teams is murdering my MacBook Pro 16" i9 with 16GB RAM every day. This was supposed to be the most kick-a$$ laptop at the time

Its quite surprising how supposedly tech people are actually out of touch with tech.
You're over complicating this. In fact it might provide a similar kind of protection the physical chip provides for debit cards. Let me explain:

1. Someone (anyone) initiates the login flow

2. The user record in a DB gets enriched with

- the 6-digit OTP (sent via email)

- the "secret" (shared with the initiating browser)

- the current session failed attempts counter (default: 0, max: 3)

- the total failed attempts counter since last successful login (default: 0, max: 20)

Let's assume that you've initiated the session (hence own the "secret"), but have no access to the OTP - you will always have 3 attempts to guess the OTP before the session gets reset (a new "secret" + new OTP). So after the 3rd unsuccessful attempt you start from scratch. And at that point other means of protection might come into play based on the second counter (throttling the auth. requests on the WAF/fronting server, blacklisting IP addresses, etc.)

The number of accounts you're targeting does not matter - in fact it may help other systems mentioned catch your malicious attempts sooner.

It's a glorified chat program. Why does it need a top-of-the-line computer from last year for ?

My experience with Teams is that it uses by itself about double the RAM the rest of the entire operating systems is using (and that includes a web browser and a office suite).

They've recently used tricks to reduce the RAM usage, such as practically unloading the entire "tab" (in the Chromium sense) when the window is not focused, but this leads to out-of-date information in the window (such as presence status) whenever it is not focused.
I'm concerned about the low level of neuroscientific knowledge in the general population. This is just an example, "humans generally use only 10 percent". There is no "human" who "uses the brain", the brain is the human, or rather the human is in the brain. Due to a high level of societal and political inertia we are indiferrent to facts of the brain that affect our biases , memory, ethics and judgement. This will become a problem the more we understand (and manipulate) the brain.
One suggestion I would have - it's great that you can drag on the graph to choose a different time period. But the data at the top isn't changed by that change of time period, e.g. https://totalrealreturns.com/s/AAPL stays 1980 to current. Obviously Apple wasn't doing well before the return of Steve Jobs, so it'd be nice to see the data for a shorter time period e.g. in my case I'd love to look at e.g. APPL for 2000 onwards.
Flat-earth is a conspiracy theory, flat-earthers are told that the earth is round, but they don't believe it, they usually also believe in all sorts of other theories: fake moon landing, chemtrails, covid 5G, aliens, etc... make your choice. Conspiracy theories went strong even before the internet, some had devastating consequence. At least, flat-earth is harmless, it only makes you sound stupid.

And I also believe that there are not that many "true" flat earthers. There is a significant amount of trolls and people who like the exercise in epistemology.

I think the reason flat earth get so much visibility is that it is one the most obviously wrong belief there is, people like to point out dumb people in order to feel smart by comparison. In fact, the meme is not the idea that the earth is flat, it is that there are people out there who believe the earth is flat. It is almost a meta-myth, I mean, what proof do you have that flat earth as a community is a thing? I know there is rather good evidence that it is the case but who bothered to check?
I think that they might be more likely to look at the pictures with a bunch of license plates on them
Prices weren't just going up in December, they've been going up since 2020. The asset class boom beginning in 2020 was mostly just a graph of inflation. Trillions of new dollars in the economy, record low interest rates, PPP loans. I don't know if you realize this, but the actual economy wasn't booming then.

The CPI data took years to catch up because consumers are quite price sensitive and detecting and responding to increased demand is a delicate process.
It works fine on Windows so you and your team will just have to switch to Windows on your PCs in order to continue using Microsoft's Office 365... /sarcasm
Microsoft needs to disband the Teams team and start afresh with a non-Electron base that’s better designed. MS Teams is awful on Windows too. It’s slow to respond and makes the system slower. Having 16GB RAM and not running anything else that’s heavy doesn’t make much of a difference either. MS Teams is like the camel in the story “The Arab and the Camel”. Teams won’t stop until it occupies the entire tent!
I think there are some standards fans whipping out the downvotes, but I think jerf and I are both very aware that this is not how it SHOULD be. But it is how it is. I built an API scraper years ago now, and I gave up, APIs are not standardized, they're not consistent. I dreamed of an interoperable library of APIs you could pipe around to create new applications. It's too much work to manage all the differences in how people have built their APIs. But as jerf pointed out, there can be myriad reasons standards end up playing second fiddle.

Even with Zenni my eyeglasses cost over $100. At Costco they cost $300, and at most other places they cost $600.

I used to always go with Costco, but last year I tried Zenni. The frames are definitely flimsier than any others I've had, which I've heard is generally the case for their wire-frame options—I'm sure their heavy plastic frames are more sturdy, but that's not my style. But the lenses seem as good as usual. Except they polished the edges of the lens instead of leaving them frosted, which creates distracting reflections under certain light (with an Rx of around -9/-10 my lenses are 7-8 mm thick). Despite all that I'll probably stick with Zenni in future.

I wash my glasses with a drop of palmolive dish soap and warm water, then blow any water drops off the lenses. An oelophilic coating (available with Zenni) makes this easy, because the water beads up and almost rolls off.
I think it's closer to "don't think you can half-ass your way into an understanding," rather than "you'll never be able to understand this." That "cabal of experts" all had to learn at some point, too.

In general, I think DRYAC is excellent advice, and that we should apply similar reasoning to unsafe programming languages. And that is not to say that people shouldn't use them; only that we, as a community, should be making ourselves more half-ass-resistant.
I don't understand. What's specifically out of touch about this?
No. Nothing of interest to me. The missus bought a case of cat food as it was cheaper than Tesco!

I think a lot of the deals are pretty bogus. I noticed four things on Prime Day deals that I'd previously bought. When I checked my purchase history, it turned out I'd paid less for 3 out of the 4 than the Prime Day deal price.

A lot of people don't realise [I certainly didn't] that Amazon [or presumably Amazon's algorithms] vary the prices of items they sell all the time and often by significant amounts. I use CamelCamelCamel [0] to track the prices of things I'm interested in and viewing their price tracker graphs can be a real eye-opener.

Unrealized gains can simply evaporate. If a crap company has a 1 B valuation and it fails, that money is gone. The value in stockholders portfolio just goes down, not to anywhere in particular.
And I was pointing out that your source (and you, for that matter) are being implausibly categorical, and suggesting that people interested in this don't take anything in the thread as gospel but rather read a bit broadly. Which is fair, I think, also.
> There’s nothing in the protocol, but in general, you should not assume non-2xx status codes have parseable payloads (more specifically, you should not assume the format of a non-200 status code).

There’s absolutely something in the protocol, and you should absolutely use the Content-Type header to determine whether there is a body and whether it is in a parseable format irrespective of the status code, except for the minority of status codes defined as not having a body (e.g., 204 & 205.)
The worst part is that every time you launch Teams, it adds itself to your login items (on Mac, at least). It doesn't matter how many times you've removed it before, it just keeps happening. I heard you can turn this 'feature' off, but you have to log in with an MS account to do so. No thanks — I exclusively use Teams on the web.

Hydrogen storage has significant technological barriers. Nobody has successfully deployed a hydrogen grid storage facility so far. There's no telling when, or if, these barriers will be overcome.

France can build more nuclear plants to drive down it's fossil fuel use. But no amount of overproduction will make a solar plant produce electricity at night, or wind turbines on a windless day. For that reason, "renewables" is really renewables plus fossil fuels. While France uses 9% fossil fuels Germany, the biggest renewables stan, uses fossil fuels and biomass (which gets a green label but is often even more polluting than fossil fuels) for just under 40% of it's electricity. Not much of a win for renewables.

> Unless there is a monopoly, companies have to offer the lowest / best deal or they go out of business quickly.

I don't know why you think companies like competition more than they like profits. Companies raise their prices in lockstep a lot: sometimes it is coordinated, mostly its not. Despite your faith in perfect competition: established companies do not want a race to the bottom - which is a classic iterated prisoner's dilemma scenario.

No it doesn’t.

Video calls are worse than Skype or Google meets.

The Word thing in Teams is buggy, ‘open in app’ leads to better behaviour but you can end up in version hell. The online Word version doesn’t do the same things as Teams Word or the native app.

As a test, try moving a picture or editing a footer.
But Left wing propaganda is totally fine?
I was an early adopter of Teams and generally feel like MS gets too much criticism for e.g. Windows. I really wanted to like Teams. But having used it daily for two years, the only thing I'm impressed with is how badly they managed to mess it up. Whatever software team worked on this should be ashamed.

It caused my 3 year old high-end Windows laptop to hang completely after a few minutes of conversation, sometimes eating all my CPU with no activity whatsoever. Tried to do a clean boot, didn't help. Had to get a new laptop just because of Teams.
Whenever someone invites me to a meeting with MS Teams, I request them if we can do an alternate. Even if not, I still keep the alternate link handy. When the meeting starts and things don't work, I just give them the alternate link and they usually go, "This just works."

Most corporate users are not aware of alternates and just use the ones their company picks without questioning.
> How is it that children who are very closely matched on a great many environmental and familial variables often differ profoundly in various attributes of academic ability and personality?

The simple answer is that the children's circumstances are not matched. Fundamentally, a first child is going to have a different experience from the second child, on account of how the first child has no sibling when they're developing. Go deeper and you'll find more unaccounted-for variables: parents' childrearing experience, amount of leftover budget for childcare/food, macroeconomic and political conditions, or even something like water quality.
Yup, I do this with some nice microfibre for drying / removing any smears afterwards.

UniFi cameras are amazing. Superb video quality (better then so called "professional" cameras from the regular security companies), easy to setup (but still an order of magnitude more work then a Ring), self hostable, and from my experience highly reliable.
There's a Github plugin. I am specifically referring to that. I use it to do code reviews. Being able to see the changes in-line in my editor helps give me a bit of context to the changes because it's easier to see the surrounding code, click into functions being used, etc.

Yep. The model is too big to fit on the two GPUs I have (even though each one is 48GB). So instead it gets split between the GPUs, CPU RAM, and some parts even have to sit on disk (SSD). This makes it much slower than if everything were on the GPU.

I believe there are performance enhancements planned in Accelerate that will allow layers to be preloaded in parallel as other layers are executing inference, which should make things faster: https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate/issues/512#issueco...
They're piloting a tablet program in the Feds. The tablet is free. They even offer free books. Nice, right? What they don't advertise is that the system also charges something like a dollar a minute to 'use'. Wonder what those free books actually come out to costing. So far this is only in the womens prisons. I'm sure they will use it as an excuse to get rid of the actually library that inmates donate all the books sent from home to. Wrote way too much to say soon they might.
Personally, I was motivated to get a Ring camera after a couple instances of porch theft. In the years since it has never happened again. So there is some deterrent value.

I would never install a smart device INSIDE my home. But I don’t see why people are freaking out about door/driveway cameras.
I am not talking about software developers, I am talking warehouse workers, customer support specialists, bookkeepers. If they're having trouble finding employees it simply means they're not offering enough money for the job. Ask what the CEO is paying himself if he's complaining about not being able to find workers. I post ads in the $25-30/hr range and get about 500 resumes in 2 days, plenty of qualified applicants to choose from.
One interesting tidbit that I forgot about... Heathrow is heavily slot controlled. The options the airport is giving airlines is:

1) Cancel flights
2) Operate with lower loads on the existing flights

#1 is the best option as it reduces the number of staff needed on the ground and in the air but airlines are likely going to go with #2 because they don't want to risk this edict from the airport going on long enough to threaten their slots. And regulators are not budging. They actually come out and said that any slots not used, even for capacity reasons, will be returned and are not exempt.

You don't have to do work; at any step you have the functions available that operate on the object returned (whatever it is). On the "Functions and Data" side you are similarly constrained by the possible functions that operate on that data.
I think the company is working on solving the second piece of the puzzle.

The first piece is solved by solutions like Confluent Cloud and Apache MSK. Companies can now have a stream processing store on-demand using a credit card without managing self-hosted clusters in-house in production.

For the latter part, companies still need to hire a rare breed of engineers who are experts in distributed systems, database systems, stream processing, and infrastructure to do anything useful once the streaming stores are procured.

So far, this has been a luxury that only the likes of big technology conglomerates like Netflix, Uber, Lyft, etc. can hire an army of such engineers.

Deltastream, with its cloud-native distributed streaming database engine makes it available to any business to process streams of data from streaming data sources or traditional persistant data sources within minutes using a simple SQL interface.

This is an evolution of technology on how data is going to be managed henceforth. Remember what happened to systems like dBase, MSAccess once SQL came along.

Streaming SQL is going to do the same for SQL. SQL runs on past data, whereas Streaming SQL runs on data in flight as it flows. The result set of the queried data ends once SQL stops executing, but with Streaming SQL the query never stops exeucting, and the result set is returned as soon as new data flows in.
It’s actually even more dumb: Teams does dismiss notification as they come into view. As they come into view. Notification is about a message you already see? Scroll away a little, scroll back again, bingo, notification dismissed. Works at least 90% of the time.

It's good to have a high quality pair from a local shop so you have something to compare Zenni or other online shops to. YMMV of course, but I've had good experiences with Zenni, and only had one pair out of dozens for my family that had issues (seemed to be uncentered or had the PD incorrect), and that was over 5 years ago.

It's nice being able to grab a cheap pair of glasses for activities where there is a high probability of them getting damaged or lost, and having a backup pair handy. The reduced mental load of not having to worry is worth it!
