That's exactly what it does, the article states that > When worn, people could see Morse code-like signals flashed from an infrared LED and tell what direction infrared light came from. So wearers aren't really resolving an im

I truly adore KSP - one of the few games where I'd get so excited about doing something that I'd drag my wife over to marvel at my accomplishment (and subject her to long explanation of why this particular cluster of pixels on a s

The “just” there sounds polite to me. It apologetically implies that you realise the person probably knows about rsync already but maybe didn’t use it for some requirement not yet discussed, which you’re now asking about so you can give a b

For an anniversary with my wife once I took her on a VR tour of all the photospheres that I'd captured over the years at places like our old apartment or on holidays. Seeing places with strong memories but almost being there felt reall

Pay for the $1/month version and invert the responses; now you have the $100/month one for cheap :D

I self host it, and I self host both the API and the database.

I've contributed to this repo (and I also self host Calendly) and didn't have to sign anything. It _is_ a pain to self-host, but unlike claims elsewhere in this thread I do also self-host the API and database.

Sounds similar to a 'jhana' state in Buddhist meditation. My understanding is that there are layers/steps of meditation practice and the higher level ones may allow such states; people can sometimes find themselves temporaril

Can you say any company names? I’m an ex-FAANG eng in Sydney currently considering options.

Compared to a visible light wave, the smaller “”faster”” X-rays have more bandwidth/can carry more information for the same band width—so the distinction seems to make a kind of intuitive sense.

You can have an automatically updated playlist of likes using smart playlists. You have to create it one time on desktop, but it’s automatic after that. https://www.idownloadblog.com/2018/12/19/create-smart-pl

I think this was a good interview; I was glad to see Nilay Patel ask about the potentially analogous situation between Apple:Spotify and Spotify:Artists. He didn't just ask and let the answer alone, he followed up too.

Does Chrome have a vertical tabs mode?! Because the primary reason I use Firefox is because it _does_ have a vertical tabs mode, via use of TreeStyleTabs and some userChrome.css hacks.

Yeah I'm also in the CRUD/API/just another web-app space; albeit the "high" end (high salaries, very well-known companies; not necessarily the most sophisticated technology though). When kids ask about undergrad I s

From my perspective (ie, opinion), probably not. I've been hiring engineers for a few years, and I've come to associate a CS/IT Masters + unrelated undergrad with bad candidates and generally use it to filter _out_ candidates

I"ve lived in all 3 of those countries (although have never worked for the police). My experience is just as your friend describes. The cops in Oz are truly awful! There was a recent scandal where cops were strip-searching teenage girl

This is why my "gamer" headphones can use both profiles simultaneously! The game/music/media audio comes through the headphone profile, and chat audio comes through the headset profile. There's even the ability to c

Hi there, I did the exact same thing as you (at Google Sydney), before eventually deciding that I must strike out into the wilderness. In the few years since I left; I worked as a solutions architect managing a team, a team lead, a remote d

Hey, thanks for being active in the comments! I really love Todoist, and I used to be a paying subscriber except I had a bug that I couldn't quite get support to even understand, let alone fix! I like to leave Todoist open in a permane

Thanks for being so present in the comments :) I don't know much about ML, but would it be possible to use some kind of attention model to iteratively construct the final colouring? The memory limit of the GPU would then limit the atte
