Seems similar to Transit's approach: https://blog.transitapp.com/go-underground/

Also seeing this. Same issue on various machines and Internet providers, so it points to GitHub being the issue.

"git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository."

Edit: works now, as of 10:06am ET.

You probably mean "2024" here, right?

I think they meant "across manufacturers".

Great catch, thank you for pointing this out. Looks like it's resolved now.

I really want to think there is few people left out there leaving their 0’s and 1’s unencrypted in the cloud

This describes most everybody.

If I go through with the interview and do poorly, I have no way of knowing when or if I would be given the chance again.

If the organization you're looking to join is minimally humane, they'll be open to giving you another chance later down the line. In the event of a rejection, ask whoever's communicating with you for feedback, and mention that you'd like to try again later.

Worst case scenario, it doesn't work out and you discover that this organization is not willing to help people grow and give them a second chance, which could be a sign of other cultural problems below the surface, and you dodge a bullet in the process.

Best case scenario, you're in.

The middle ground is that you know you can prepare a bit more and try again later.

I feel like there's little downside to doing right away. I'd say do it.

Thank you for mentioning Aegis, a few other folks have recommended it as well. Looks promising!

Thanks! I read good things about Organic Maps, I'll try it out.

Thanks for the feedback!

I realize I wasn't actually using Google Photos, so my recommendation of hard drives likely isn't realistic for most people. TIL about Photoprism, I'll look into it.

For Google Drive, an actual solution for a typical use case would be something like Nextcloud (self-hosted or not, doesn't matter). My own use case was only about sharing a single file between two machines, so Syncthing fit the bill perfectly.

Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

Pretty cool to see renewed interest in personal wikis, personal websites, and digital gardens after all these years. I remember writing my first bare HTML website in the early 2000s using Microsoft Frontpage. How times have changed!

As people grow curious to create their own digital garden a claim their own space on the Internet, I found that the main blocker was getting started. They have ideas, notes, and thoughts, and they're ready to share them on the Internet, but they don't know where to get started. To reduce the barrier to entry, I created a simple digital garden template [0] along with a step-by-step tutorial to set it up [1]. More than 70 people have forked the repo to try it out.

Once the first step of setting the technical part up is complete, it's easy to start sharing ideas with the rest of the world. :)

Neat!

I use a similar setup where I literally have a single USB cable that gives me access to everything: monitor, keyboard, mouse, lighting, camera, microphone.

I just need to plug the cable in the computer I want to use. However, I do need to change the input on the monitor as one of the them is connected via HDMI.

TIL about "two-phase commits". Thanks for sharing!

https://freshreader.app/

I became overwhelmed with the massive list of content I saved in Pocket/ Instapaper but that I knew I'd never read, so I built myself a similar app where saved content disappears after 7 days.

If I don't read something in the week after I save it, there's a good chance I'm not going to read it ever.

Works well for me so far.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out and share feedback Tony, I appreciate it.

Ultimately, it's all about each of us using what works best. It seems like Freshreader doesn't quite line up with your needs, and that's okay.

Yes, and Craigslist and Kijiji are full of them, too.

That's dedication to some seriously old hardware

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Glad you're enjoying the T450s.

Agreed on the code/quote block woes.

never rendered larger than 64x64

On a high-density display, that 64px x 64px image covers a lot more surface area than 64x64 actual pixels on the physical display. I suspect that this 512x512px requirement is related to scaling factors on devices with high DPI displays.

I like the "no bullshit, just do it" approach. Great for preventing analysis paralysis, and generally curbing off procrastination.

Not entirely sure why it's sold for 20$ knowing that the source code is freely available on GitHub [0]. What prevents anyone from building the distro themselves?

Looks like the issue also appears on Firefox, but doesn't on Chrome.

Not that this should be any indicator of health, but it's worth pointing out that a few RSS readers (e.g. FeedPress [0], Cast [1], FeedBin [2]) have implemented JSON feed support a few weeks after the initial announcement. What's more, my own basic JSON Feed Viewer [3] is getting multiple hits every day.

The data store itself does not necessarily provide authenticity verification natively, so certification authorities would be required to validate the authenticity of the users, which in turn validates its input data, much like the root CAs, intermediate certs and server certs in a X.509-based PKI.

The competitor would have its identity tied to the data it inputs, so it wouldn't be able to impersonate the target company.

Interesting argument. The problem about this particular investigation (which I can only assume here) is that the available data did not offer relevant information about the tracking of the lettuce.

If the required information _did_ exist but wasn't accessible, then you are right in saying that the non-centralization of the data is a problem. I guess the problem then lies in the fact that information is siloed in different businesses. A solution to this could be the concept of federation, where all such businesses use an agreed-upon protocol/platform, but all can use the client of their choice.

Not the best article to describe the benefits of blockchain for supply chain management, but the point does get across.

Now, I'm aware that many people dismiss blockchain technology as a usable medium to store information (instead of your typical SQL database), but one clear advantage is that it's decentralized, which prevents a central authority from tampering the data. For supply chain management, that's not a necessary property, but when you consider product certifications (e.g. biological produce, sustainable whatever, etc.) and authenticity, then decentralization (and immutability) clearly become benefits. While I don't think it's okay to use a blockchain because it's the cool thing to do nowadays, it certainly got me thinking.

In December 2017, there was an E. coli outbreak in Canadian romaine lettuce, killing some people in the eastern provinces. Health agencies tried to identify the cause of the contamination, but they abandoned the investigation after a few weeks [1].

I stumbled upon Provenance.org a few weeks ago, and as part of a student project, some colleagues and I decided to develop a Provenance.org clone, mostly as an excuse to learn Ethereum smart contract development and the Solidity programming language (DApps and all that jazz). One challenge we're currently running into is about the granularity of the the product tracking: should a single box of Ritz crackers have its own identifier? Should the entire pallet have a single identifier? How about raw materials that combine to form an entirely new product? Or a pig that's split up into multiple parts for markets to sell?

We're looking to open source the project at the end of the term (around May), so if you're interested, reach out to me.

As previously stated, blockchain technology might not be the solution to everything right now, but it's definitely interesting and fun to experiment with.

Couldn't reducing the gain fix that?

I really, _really_ love this kind of visual guide. Do you guys know of anything similar for other (unrelated) learning subjects?

Edit: just saw this one in the footer of the Waveforms page. http://www.r2d3.us/visual-intro-to-machine-learning-part-1/
