They haven’t announced anything like that - they’re just using LiDAR rigs to validate data from their vision based approach, particularly distance. It actually even mentions something about it at the bottom of the article you referenced.

There are some great resources on the keto subreddit (reddit.com/r/keto). I personally had similar issues when I first started keto - several times a week i found i had to be conscious of my electrolyte intake and would supplement with broth and often almond milk (potassium). However 6 months in I've found it's less of an issue, even at lower electrolyte intake, but I'm not sure why. I never found the need to hit the super high recommendations on /r/keto though - I found that 4,000 - 5,000 mg per day was more than enough, and I'd get heart palpitations and muscle cramps generally under 2,500 / day. You'll see a lot of people on /r/keto saying you _have_ to hit 7k+ a day, and people who drink salted water all day - personally, I think that's overkill.

Yup - and it's got a lot of potassium too! Definitely a keto staple for me.

Unsweetened Almond Milk is also an awesome source of both sodium and potassium - a staple for me while doing Keto.

They finally added support for websockets! Really looking forward to giving this a try with Phoenix.

Yup. I've been doing a ketogenic diet the past 6 weeks and it's pretty awesome.

I'm reading Haskell Programming from First Principals right now it's just awesome. I've gone through a couple books on Haskell before this, and it's by far the best. Can't recommend it enough!

Congrats to Nat and Miguel! This seems to make a ton of sense, and unlike other acquisitions by big corps this seems like a great move for both Xamarin and their customers.

Curious what you see out there that's higher performance and lower cost than AWS? In my experience it's been a great fit for small apps all the way up to large complicated applications at scale - and once your infrastructure is large enough you're buying reserved instances anyway at anywhere between a 33% and 70% discount.

I don't think that's necessarily true - both Puppet and Chef are Ruby, and you'll often hear Ruby referred to as the "lingua franca" of DevOps.

Here's the point in the keynote where he starts talking about it - really interesting stuff! https://youtu.be/0rPpCnFE-hU?t=33m34s

So the way Werner Vogels explained it at the AWS Summit in NYC recently, Aurora is built from scratch and is MySQL compatible, but it is not a fork. He mentioned that they broke it down into components which are each built on pre-existing AWS services - for example, the storage layer just DynamoDB which I thought was really interesting.

Nah - I happen to be at the AWS summit in NYC today and submitted a few things as I saw them announced. I use AWS heavily, but don't work for AWS or anything. I'm sure there's plenty of upvotes coming from other folks at the conference like myself.

Whoops - totally missed that assumption!

Quick comment on the comparison of AWS cost to DIY cost - for AWS costs you're using the on demand pricing for 3 years and comparing it to the cost of buying hardware over 3 years. If you're going to be running instances for 3 years you're probably going to be using reserved instances - in the case of m3.medium instances the rate drops from $0.070 / hour to $0.0261 / hour.

So, with the 3 year reserved pricing your total cost ends up being something like $411,544 - less than half the cost of the referenced $880,000 hardware purchase price.

I bought the ebook last weekend and I have to say that Chris has done a really great job here. For anyone looking to get deeper into Elixir, this is a great read - can't recommend it enough!

This looks really great - especially the simplicity of all of it - great work!

I don't think so either. The impression I get is that this covers retention policies for communications incidentally acquired during intelligence operations. A (perhaps poor) example might be, a raid on safehouse that yields hard drive that contains email records, where some of those emails are unrelated communications with a US citizen - it sounds like records like that would now be destroyed after 5 years if there is no specified need to keep them. Sound right?

Yup. Also, this bill actually passed the house in May of this year.

Yeah, that's really annoying - text is here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/4681...

SOPA 2.0? I don't see how the linked language has anything to do with what SOPA was - this has to do with retention policies for incidentally acquired communications during intelligence gathering activities - specifically putting limits on how long such communications may be retained.

For me it's my family, a good job, and to be alive in an exciting golden age of technology.

Wow - I have to say I'm impressed. I wonder how extensive the cross platform support is, and what sort of work has gone into targeting iOS? What does this mean for Xamarin and Mono?

Agreed, DB & Persistence and automated restful APIs are library problems, and ones pretty well solved by some existing solutions. Realm is awesome, and solves both pretty well.

Personally, I love Swift, and after having written a medium sized application in Swift over the course of about a month, I can say I saw significant productivity gains over objective-c.

I haven't tried pinswift, but it looks cool. The main difference with Pinnin is that you can add bookmarks to pinboard directly from Safari or any app on your iPhone with a webview, in the same way you would add a bookmark to mobile safari.

Thanks for the suggestion - I might give it a try and see how it fits.

I'll work on getting something up on the site (and in the app store since Apple now allows app preview) but here's a quick demo video of the extension in action: https://www.dropbox.com/s/havs9kvvy087jj0/pinnin-extension-d...

Would love some feedback on this. Pinnin is a simple Pinboard Client for iOS, and includes an iOS8 app extension to add bookmarks to Pinboard from any app. It's written in Swift and I plan on open sourcing sometime in the coming weeks once I get the codebase cleaned up a bit more.

I know the marketing site could use some work, but any comments on the app itself would be much appreciated!

I know you can find it on Google and all, but I don't think it's appropriate to call out Dave's contact info publicly like this...

I posted this on the support forum as well, but myself and at least one other user have had this problem: I created an account, but it timed out and never took me to the next page, however I received the two confirmation emails (including the pw recovery code). When I try to log in though, I get invalid username or password, and the password recovery code is useless. So it looks like it's possible to create an account which is completely inaccessible.

EDIT: Looks like more folks are reporting the same issue.
