Panel interviews seem to be more common. Curious if others have seen the same? I personally feel very uncomfortable coding in front of a group. First one of these I tried had like 5 people watching and I lost my nerve and bailed. :|
Wow it’s a small world. I just discovered your channel recently and love the content. Probably watched the home lab video like 10 times. I have a historic building with 3 vacation rentals that I’m in the process of adding some intelligence and monitoring to, including a raspberry pi kiosk based on one of your videos. Thanks for making them!
Speak for yourselves... I'm flying to Seattle to LAN next month! :P
Sure, I made the repo public: https://github.com/gvbl/TextAPic
I don't believe the app works any more, something has changed and I haven't investigated. I hope it's still useful for you!
And why are they bugging us for a sign in when in mobile private mode on safari! Gtfoh!
After doing some Android freelance recently and having a clients Play Store account get shut down because they forgot one of the requirements imposed by Google I’m done with Android, and hopefully can free myself from Google services completely.
Yes it’s MMS. Something I learned during the process of making it was that sending a pic wasn’t technically SMS… guess I forgot. Haven’t worked with SMS/MMS since.
My father continuously had problems sending pictures over SMS, which would be super helpful so that I could help him accomplish tasks remotely. The built-in app on Android was too confusing for him thanks to cognitive decline. I made a super simple app that's only purpose was to send pics via SMS. One screen, contacts selected by drop down, camera view in the center, one button. Google wouldn't let me publish it because SMS apps on the Play Store have to implement ALL SMS functionality. I sent him the APK by email so at least there's that. It worked well for him at least. Fuck Google though.
I understand their incentives. But the fact that they are exploited here, just less so still, makes the exploitation wrong. The H1B program needs to end.
Even if the pay by salary amount is fair, these workers can be exploited to work more hours than their non-H1B colleagues such that if their pay was broken down hourly it would be comparatively lower.
1. How to administer a secure network for a property with multiple vacation rentals. I bought a bunch of Microtik components so I’ll be learning RouterOS and how to setup VLANs.
2. Ray tracing in a weekend but in Rust.
3. How to return to the job market after 4 years of off and on freelance and being a caregiver for sick parent.
Monopolistic practices, dominating search engine market, anticompetitive behavior in online advertising, collusion with other tech companies on hiring practices, privacy concerns over user data collection, biased search results favoring its products, tax avoidance strategies in multiple countries, anti-union activities, censorship in certain countries to comply with local laws, allegations of workplace discrimination and harassment, misuse of market dominance in Android operating system.
Unfortunately Apple and MS seem like they’re going strong into 2024.
I predict Google will flounder on multiple fronts. They’ll either continue empty promises of a ChatGPT killer or release one that will be 2nd rate. Meanwhile more adoption of ChatGPT and the like will mean less search and less ad revenue. Azure and AWS will take more market share from GDP. They’ll release ad-blocker unfriendly chrome and users will switch to Firefox. YouTube will expand its trial of not operating with ad-blockers and a serious alternative will emerge, maybe Vimeo or maybe a newcomer. They’re the most user-hostile of the big tech companies and I want them to lose.
I’ve had such bad experiences with Reddit mods I’m cheering this on.
The second biggest geopolitical opponent to the US, Russia, is in major decline. Their primary opponent, China, is slowing down and has enormous domestic problems to deal with that are projected to worsen for a long period of time. The US was supposed to be behind in AI research, but technologically, they're ahead. I believe that once AI is used to exert geopolitical pressure, economically or through counter action, it will be a runaway advantage. If this were Star Wars I think we'd be at the point where we were only starting to see the rise of the Empire.
The decline in young people's sexual activity is a recent event: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/people-have-been-...
Is it possibly because they're not sleeping with each other? Seems to be all over the news lately, the decline of young people having sex. The older I get, the less I see sex as optional for human health and well-being. There's no time you crave it more than adolescence, so going without it then could be even more damaging. Sex is not just a fun experience, it's a basic psychological need. Both the left and right in the US are way too puritanical and I really hope there's a big shift in popular culture to stop censoring sex and maybe think about toning down the violence.
“you could have just posted the link without your opinion”
A link by itself might be another site that the person who commented likes, not necessarily the one mentioned in the article.
I am also interested in OCaml, so thanks for sharing this. I’ve heard it’s higher level than Rust and has GC. I’ve spent most of my career using Java and after a few weeks of Rust I love many things about it but feel managing lifecycles and ownership might be too much for me.
Thank you
I hadn’t heard this term before so that will help my search.
I’m asking this question as someone with zero experience in writing an OS, but who has done limited services development. Would it be an interesting research project to write an OS with the following traits: 1. The purpose of the OS would be to run microservices only 2. The OS would provide the minimum functionality to provide a platform for services to run on the web assembly system interface 3. Some interim solution for providing sockets would have to be built until wasi spec supports it 4. No file system, no writing to disc, OS gets booted from USB, services pulled and initialized from network
Apologize ahead of time if this is a naive question and I need to jump into more traditional OS dev to get my bearing. I’m a mobile/services taking a break and I just happen to currently be intrigued by Rust and WASM.
I was just thinking the same thing this morning using the Play Store dev console, which reminded me of Cloud console. Everything is randomly jumbled into a bunch of menus on the left. I can't remember where anything is.
I recently implemented a feature for a client that I believe would be a nice little open source tool for Android apps that use the Google Maps SDK. If they give me permission I will hopefully build it, and I’m optimistically sketching it out.
The feature is a way to move info windows into view when they are rendered partially offscreen. Default behavior is to move the marker that was clicked to open the info window to the center but that can be jarring IMO. I liked the iOS Maps SDK behavior that just pans enough to bring the info window into view, so I duplicated that.
Wow! What's your motivation to provide access to such powerful hardware for free?
I've been writing a simple single page form app the past few days and I like Fresh a lot. I really appreciate the simplified project layout vs my last setup of a react app project nestled in a parent express project. It just makes the devops, if you would even called it that, of writing a one-person full stack app easier. Deno running TypeScript without a compile to JS adds to this. I'm happy to see the Preact Signals demo to help manage state between islands in 1.1. Thank you for this great framework. :)
Here you go: https://gist.github.com/gvbl/9231406c54e7c9fd37abdfa6c697fe5...
You can run it with a command like this (I'm on windows): docker run -it -v <model file path>:/stable-diffusion/models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/model.ckpt -v <outputs folder>:/stable-diffusion/outputs -v <inputs folder>:/stable-diffusion/inputs -v <cache folder>:/root/.cache --gpus all knightley python /stable-diffusion/scripts/txt2img.py --W 256 --H 256 --prompt "a horse wearing a top hat"
assuming you build the image and tag it "knightley"
Yes, windows with a RTX 2070 Super. The logs say the app is trying allocate just a few hundred MB more than what I have. I'm reasonably happy with 256x256 for now, just messing around.
