What I've done before is use OBS to capture a potion of a screen, then start its virtual camera and use that as the camera input for whatever service I'm using.

You can set up different scenes too to switch between camera, region of screen, and whatever else you may want.

I'm a big fan of this set up too because then it doesn't matter what service you use. Whether you're in a Teams meeting with your team, Zoom with a client, Discord with friends, same set up across the board.
*The worst part of Zoom being down:* Being forced to use Microsoft Teams for meetings.

I was once on a team responsible for, among other things, the status page of a pretty big, important product. I always new somewhere in the back of my mind that status pages were not 100% accurate, but it was still a shock to hear my boss's boss flat out tell all the new hires that the page was mostly advertising and politics and that we only ever updated it if a VP had decided that it was ok if there were news stories about the incident.
As discussed in the post, the next steps are to add read replicas. Regarding backups, that's possible with Litestream: https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream

It will if you can't mine enough to cover the cost of the electricity required to run it, which is true if you want to mine BTC with it, for example.
Brace yourselves for Figma to be the next Magento like monolith that Adobe has no idea how to support : (
Adobe has been unable to find technological innovation organically (To their credit, their stock price soared through financial engineering). Adobe has instead augmented its capabilities through acquisitions. Today's acquisition of Figma is no different.

And maybe that is fine. Adobe is not alone. Many big companies can only expand their capabilities through acquisitions. Those big companies are doing fine.

Specific to Adobe, the acquisition of Macromedia was a huge success in part because it injected a lot of talent into Adobe that stayed and succeeded. Maybe Figmates will be able to do the same.

> Why is sqlite3 so slow? Well, the benchmark is probably not representative of the typical workload for sqlite (lots of individual insertions and selections). If we perform the same operations using executemany and one select of all the keys at once, we get:

I think this is because each time you call execute (which is probably sqlite3_exec under the hood), your statement is prepared again, and then deleted, while with executemany it's prepared once and then used with the data. According to the SQLite3 documentation of sqlite3_exec:

> The sqlite3_exec() interface is a convenience wrapper around sqlite3_prepare_v2(), sqlite3_step(), and sqlite3_finalize(), that allows an application to run multiple statements of SQL without having to use a lot of C code.

I knew that when you execute a request a lot, prepared statements are faster, but it seems that it's not exactly the case and that all statements are prepared, the performance improvements come from preparing (and deleting) only once. The documentation page about the Prepared Statement Object has a good explanation of the lifecycle of a prepared statement, which also seems to be the lifecycle of all statements.

How would you tell that a GPU has been used for mining? Other than any vbios changes, which can be reverted easily, it would be impossible.

ALL gpus are going to go down in price, just because the market is saturated, it has nothing to do with what workloads they happened to be used for.
Yeah, but don’t forget to take in all variables (total cost of ownership as it were) - the mortgage is one factor, taxes, schools, commute all play into it.

Moving to a more expensive monthly payment in a school district where you don’t need to send kids to private school to get a good education can save thousands of dollars, for example.

But I know how it is. I had an underwater house in CA for 10+ years before I could refinance.
End of the season in a different market so YMMV, but the markets I follow (Reston, VA and some of the towns along the Blue Ridge Mountains) have flatlined in the last two months. Prices are steady or falling and I'm seeing houses that went under contract in early August return to the market.

People definitely seem unsure. Funny, I remember the early 80s, when rates were around 18%. The house my parents bought back then was, in part, selected because the existing mortgage was transferable and at a lower rate (~9%).

The last decade of rates below 5% are an anomaly. Average over the last 40 years is somewhere in the 5-6% range with many periods well above.
You're telling us that since mining costs don't vary with the number of transactions processed, they don't count. Production costs that don't depend on the level of output are called fixed costs. [1] They're still costs. Pretending that a cost doesn't exist doesn't make it cease to exist.

> They weren’t creating a company for the “good of mankind”.

I feel most VC blurbs disagree with that, although of course that’s not their actual motivation.

I don’t see how non-profits are relevant other than as examples of companies/organizations that do actually provide value in lieu of massive gains and profit.

And I think you missed my point as I was responding to:

> If you prevent such purchases, you eliminate a major factor in creating the value to begin with.
My interest seems to depend on why the device doesn't work well.

Removal of mortgage interest deduction could reduce prices without involving (private bank, not government employees) Federal Reserve. I don't expect demand for housing would change much, once prices adjust lower.
Uh oh, good to see you here, bro! I’m in Pokhara.. I’ll ping you when I get to Ktm.
It is just me or is 6% a reasonable rate for a 30 year, fixed rate mortgage?
DFlex has an infinite transformation mechanism even between containers. So you can transform indefinitely and if you want you can enable committing to DOM which will trigger a custom reconciler built specifically for transformation. It's also not just for React, you can hook it with your JS framework.

>We need a massive tax on investment property, something that'll require the house to become completely unaffordable to re-sell, so investing will have negative returns due to taxation.

Or far easier, just eliminate the Section 1031 like-kind exchange (U.S. tax provision that allows tax on realized gains on investment property to be deferred indefinitely). There's really no policy justification for it since long term capital gains already have a favorable tax rate, and in fact like kind exchanges for personal (non-real-estate) property have already been recently eliminated.

My view is that crypto's goals (e.g. decentralized, deflationary, no transaction reversals) are non-goals, but even if those non-goals were goals, both PoW and PoS fail to effectively solve them, especially the decentralized part. PoS sucks more than PoW on this axis: PoS encourages centralization within the system (those with more ETH control the chain), and PoW encourages centralization outside the system (those who command more assets to buy GPUs and energy controls the system), so it's really silly and funny and pathetic both fail at the same thing, with PoS moving the needle in the wrong direction, but also, it was a non-goal to begin with so who cares I'll just go with the one that doesn't set the planet on fire please.
IRC bot usually, otherwise something web-based like a wiki.
That defeats the point. People keep forgetting that the single innovative aspect of cryptocurrencies was the invention of a way to do completely anonymous and trustless transactions. That's it. The second you wrap that in a layer that eliminates that, you're better off just skipping the blockchain altogether since it's an otherwise extremely awful performing persistence.

> Where's the 45 days coming from?

First, many employers pay bi-weekly, but deposit is delayed one cycle. You work, then at 2 week mark timesheets are submitted & approved, and then following week the auto payment happens.

Second, there is vacation time, which can be as much as 4-6 weeks accrued but not paid out. The average employee probably carries at least a week or three.

I hope this explains. Even though paychecks may be first in line, there is significant amount of the company's risk borne by employees.

> “e” is a valid part of a number, I don’t understand why you have issues with it.

I think people would have fewer issues with it if the browser transparently converted it, either on entry or when calling .value. It's a somewhat obscure case that's easy to get wrong.

For example if I enter 104e4 into a number input with ID test, I get these results in Chrome/Edge:

> $("test").value

'104e4'

> parseInt($("test").value)

104

> parseFloat($("test").value)

1040000

> $("test").value - 0

1040000

Same with decimal points. It's a weird foot-gun because the solution is only half-there.

Figma will likely slow down.

In the short term, they've got to lay off redundant folks, join the new healthcare plan and learn how to work with lots of new stakeholders. All that comes before the actual engineering work of integrating into Adobe Cloud. That's a lot of organizational chaos, not great for shipping.

In the long term, I'd guess there will be a cultural shift away from speed. Startups are fast because if they're not, they die. Large corporations don't do that. Large corporations have enterprise customers and people who worry about liability and lots of politics. It's just a different mindset and set of pressures.
With ROR it might be transformed via the params parser. If you enter the code below in plain old Ruby environment, like irl or the console, it will properly parse it;

Exactly, he is contractually obligated to keep the status quo for the time being.

The author does appear to push for seeing holes as adequate reason to validate the word and he rails against it. It is easier to analyze the word 'hole' as a credible belief we all share, which we do. We can describe round holes, square holes, dirt holes, hexagonal holes in beeswax. It's a Platonic shape with describable properties.

Digging holes is one of the best methods of revealing gold flakes. How would one describe the result of digging for core samples, without using hole, pit, cut or anything else that suggests a subtraction.

The core sample drill rig extended it's drill onto the earth's surface. A pile of excess dirt grew next to the drill rig as it moved further towards the nadir. When the drilling cycle completed, a cylindrical column of rock had been added to the drill rig. The drill rig drove the rock to coordinates x,y,z of the mine site. The drill rig arrived at the mine site storage facility, which obtained four smaller rock columns and they were stored in 4 containers for analysis...

The column of Rock was separated from the ground and cut into pieces, but we made no mention of it. But we believe the cuts still happened and the hole in the ground from drilling exits, otherwise we cannot validate the correctness of separating the rock into 4 separate containers, nor can we reveal what happened after the drill rig arrived. There is no defined boundary between earth and rock, any earth could do as a sample. A hole is where rock isn't, and thus we can show two separate conceptions of rock and thus validate them.

Treating holes as a figure of speech, like the author attempts, is no different to treating wind as a figure of speech because we can't see it directly. After all, what we see directly, is the trees adopt complex motions when it gets windy. Is the wind causing trees to bend, a 'hole' in stillness for our trees?
Thanks for sharing the link. Appreciate your feedback. I'd like to point out that the site is not fully updated. The last release is not included in the demo yet but I'm working on it.
Love that idea -- and I think there are probably several startups that could be spun up on top of this (off the top of my head: search & rescue, monitoring swimmers in triathlons, helping governments identify zoning violations like unregistered pools, monitoring core infrastructure like pipelines for potential hazards like excavators nearby, finding people with bonfires in high risk fire areas, tracking wildlife, finding boats fishing in restricted areas, counting cars in parking lots, monitoring construction progress, etc)

I would be thrilled to have someone pick this repo up and run with it. We're really focused on the developer tools and core infrastructure behind the computer vision part. We don't have the bandwidth to capitalize on all these opportunities (and this is only in the aerial space which is a tiny portion of the use-cases we've already seen for the technology; engineers at over 2/3 of the Fortune 100 have used Roboflow for things in every industry from retail to broadcasting to manufacturing to agriculture to healthcare).

Having meaningful businesses built on top of our tools is a great sign that we're building something useful (and we'd be ecstatic to help them succeed if they want to become a customer)!

I'm still not quite clear what qualifies this as "spam" given that you need to opt into viewing the tweets. It seems like a clear-cut case of impersonation. Spam is an entirely different concept that cannot be reduced to "I don't want to see this content" (which would, again, necessarily include ads...).

Granted, I would consider 99% of what pg would likely consider "legitimate" cryptocurrency content to be de-facto spam, but that's just a part of being on the internet at this point. The problem he raises seems negligible in comparison to the other commercial content that pollutes twitter.
Cracking the Digital Business Card
Unless the CRT has some issue (out of focus, or whatever) then graphics should look 99% the same as on an LCD, especially low res graphics that gets double scanned.

Here is a photo i took some time ago from a CRT and a flat panel i have with the same software showing the same picture (with the picture at the top) - both monitors are of relatively high quality:

https://i.imgur.com/xlsGRRw.png

In both images you can see the pixels clearly and that was in 640x480 (which doesn't get double scanned) for the CRT - they also pretty much look the same (the small color fringes are because of my awful phone camera, in person they are almost identical).

Here is another one, same shitty camera (hence the glow) but at the top left and right side (where there isn't much glow) you can see how clear the pixels are - this is double scanned:

https://i.imgur.com/10oa6xe.jpg

The main difference between decent CRT monitors and flat panels is that with the CRT monitors you get to use a bunch of different resolutions without visual degradation from scaling. Also scanlines, but that depends on the CRT (more visible in larger CRTs with lower resolutions) and you get a somewhat similar effect with some flat panel monitors (especially larger ones). Beyond that when there isn't any scaling (i.e. both display the art pixels at 1:1 ratio) there will only be very minor differences. Anything else would be due to a faulty CRT (nowadays many are in bad condition due to their age) and not really inherent in the tech.
Can't help but feel incredibly betrayed by Figma. Well, we had a good run.
Interactive web apps.
With BSD games (specially ATC, Tetris, Trek, Adventure and others) you can have fun with very little. Add Slashem and IF games and you can play with a and with a shitty SVGA card.

On "graphical" games, Shadowrun for the Genesis with the 2058 patch (ips.pl it's your friend) it's the only "modern" game I play.

And yet Shadowrun pales against Nethack/Slashem's interactivy between monsters, objects, statuses and the world.
Sure, as long as you acknowledge you're not using any legal definition of the word "public". You're not really even using any dictionary definition of the word "public".

> it seems pretty straight forward to me that lowering the number of parties involved in a transaction reduces the number of parties that need to be trusted

It increases how much you have to trust them. You can also build the same escrow system with anything. You don't need cryptocurrency for that.

> the rule of law doesn't cease to exist just because it happened online

Is there any legible escrow businesses for cryptocurrencies? If yes, how are they "less amount of parties involved" in comparison to Paypal?

I only know about GIMP and Inkscape for Linux, and I wouldn't recommend them for work-related use. As free tools go however, they are both quite powerful and feature-filled. Just harder to use and can crash unexpectedly, which is why I didn't include them.
Well, sure. There's always an exception to the rule. Overall, I would agree that classic cars relied more on form than function. This was a pain in that, sometimes the things that would make a car look pretty would break or wear out quickly, making it exceptionally ugly unless it was replaced. This put a kind of strain on the owner that was unfortunate. Other cars just came ugly by default, like you mentioned. As a generally rule though, I would at least say that when a classic car was ugly, it was trying to do something different.

And of course, yes, there are some modern cars that look neat. Usually when I see a modern car (or truck) that looks exceptionally interesting to the eye, it's in a vein of either:

1) "Artificial Badass" (Ford Raptor, H3, etc.)

2) "Speedbro" (Subaru Impreza)

Neither thing is bad, per say. However, what I was advocating is not something to impress or intimidate others, like those cars try to do, but instead to offer something that is simply aesthetically pleasing. Something that doesn't need to imply that the driver is cool or whatever, but just that the driver has some style. Some pzazz. Something for the owner, not the audience. I do that there has been something lost over the decades where average cars that average people could drive and feel happy to have driven it, is gone.

If you're not sure what I mean, consider the following offers that an average person might afford: 2009 Saturn Astra, 2010 Toyota Camry, 2012 Chevrolet Impala, 2009 Honda Civic

There's just nothing there that would make someone be proud to be an owner of any of those cars. They are just these bog standard, sad turds putting around on four wheels. They are the Dell OptiPlex XE3 of the car world. Uninspired. Uninteresting. Drab. It pains me to see these eye sores. The manufacturer could have at least provided interesting coats of paint from the factory. It's just various shades of champagne colored trash, lost in a sea of mediocrity.

To be fair, there are some more recent models of cars that seem to at least attempt to do something with the grill/radiator area to make them stand out in some token gesture, which I feel is reasonable. I just feel awful that there are so many makes and models of cars out there that are essentially indistinguishable from one another...unless you can afford to spend thousands of dollars more to get something vaguely nicer looking, which is a big ask for anyone on a budget.
And, of course, it really doesn't help that many people in urban areas find any excuse they can to reduce new housing supply: "that building is too tall", "it doesn't fit the character of the neigbborhood", "there aren't enough affordable units", etc etc. The ur-example is of course San Francisco, where it seems like the only way for a new building to happen is for people to sue the city to force it to be allowed.
iirc zoom has some features like annotation that only work over a "screenshare" as it understands them, and not on other surfaces.

it's possible to go one step further with OBS, take your capture camera and open a "windowed projector" and just share that window with zoom. then you have a window with a view manipulable from within OBS but zoom understands it as a screen capture too.
I actually find both the "actually readable" and the "something decent" colors harder to distinguish than the original "annoying" colors. (Ctrl-F the source for those quotes to find the images.) I _am_ red/green color-blind but I have never had an issue with blue.
Well both. Also in Clojurescript.

Clojure's nil punning and Java's Null Pointers are an unholy alliance here.

But a type system like Elm solves the problem before it ever gets to JavaScript for example.
