That’s a really good point. Thanks for the zoomed out perspective.

I wonder if this post was planned prior to Anthropic's announcement regarding Github's inability to handle their volume of merges.

I was at WWDC for the Vision Pro launch and asked someone a technical question about tvOS. He said, 'ah, [Jim] could answer that, but he isn't here today'. When I asked if anyone else from tvOS was here the reply was, '[Jim] is the only person on tvOS' and I am pretty sure he was serious.

This took way longer than I hoped & expected... the DeBeers cartel in full damage control has really squeezed everything they could from it.

Isn’t wild how our mind remembers these things? It has probably been 2+ decades since that command was in the front of my dome and yet, when I wanted it, it was there instantly

LOAD *.*,8,1

I’ll never forget seeing Second Life for the first time at a conference, in Flagstaff I think. You guys had a single folding table booth (as we all did) and computer running Second Life. Our team thought it was pretty cool and we talked about it quite a bit back at the office later. It was either 2002 or 2003.

We were with Evolution Robotics and were showing off the ER1, a new hobbyist robot.

Good memories for sure!

But does it work on a Gibson??

Run spacemacs in ‘evil mode’ so you can use Vim!

Love that they added a switch after you comment... nice work!

Thanks for this… great trip down memory lane. I also worked at Babbages during the 1993 academic year. I probably spent my whole paycheck there! I definitely considered myself lucky, I didn’t find a wife but it sure beat McDonald’s!

I like your thought process around the ‘empty’ case. While the opposite of a filter is no filter, to your point, that is probably not really the desire when it comes to data retrieval. We might have to revisit that ourselves.

Fantastic. Nice work using color as additional altitude information.

Maybe I missed it, but it is always fun to see the origin and destination when looking at flight tracks.

I was lucky enough to have a flight stick with a hat switch. Absolutely unfair, but I tore up my peers in the dorm because of that. Fantastic memories.

Man I miss embedded robotics work. So fun to write a control loop / algorithm and then see it play out in the real world. <robot crashes into wall> Whoops, guess we better review that routine...

Took my PS5 Pro on a work trip. Was livid to find out the horrific 'browser' on the PS5 wasn't able to handle the captive portal login page. $700 gaming rig and it can't load a simple HTML page so I can enter my name and room number?! Ridiculous.

Thought about it for a few minutes and realized that the portal was likely just doing mac filtering. So I adjusted my MacBook Pro's MAC address to be the same as the PS5, went through the portal login and then powered down the MBP. Booted up the PS5 and I was online.

Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

Honestly, he doesn’t need to be the best to make it enjoyable. He seems like a generally chill guy and he goes back and breaks down his games. Fascinating to hear what he was thinking and why he did what he did.

If you still want to experience the joys of RTS... but struggle to play after so many years away, I highly recommend catching a few streams from Grubby. He plays WC3 and a few other games and is quite entertaining to watch. He is also crazy good... His typical APM during a game hovers between 200 and 250. He is an absolute beast at leveraging his items and maximizing his heroes' hp.

I know they have to peak interest, but man, so many spoilers in the 2 trailers. They look amazing, clearing a huge budget and I hope a solid adaptation… sad for people that don’t know the story to miss out on the reveals.

Thanks for sharing the story and committing to a 6-month and 1 year follow up. We will definitely be interested to hear further how it went over time.

In the mean time, I am curious where the time was spent debugging and building Atlas deployments? It certainly isn't the cheapest option, but it has been quite a '1 click' solution for us.

Melatonin does have the potential for augmentation, but it isn’t a certainty or even the majority of people.

Oddly, the result isn’t a loss of initial efficacy but instead a ‘wide awake at 3am’ situation.

Even if it is later proved that Amyloids are NOT at fault, doesn’t the ability to remove them effectively improve our ability to make that very determination? My impression of this is at the very worst it isolates that variable and pushes the overall understanding forward significantly.

Yes! That latency was very quick to induce nausea for me while trying to play Battlefront with my son. I thought maybe it was just the frame rate… but latency makes more sense.

Thanks for sharing that and solving a mystery for me!!

Really nicely done. Love the mixing capabilities, that was particularly nicely implemented.

This was so much funnier than I wish it was… ugh. Contacting Google. Good luck.

The part that I am so tired of is the ‘we are the best at this and this is amazing’ pitch that comes with every release. Never mind that this release’s design ‘language’ DIRECTLY conflicts with things they used to say ‘never do that’.

So what changed exactly? Change is understandable but this is a full 180. - floating anything was verboten - accessibility was paramount - clarity was prioritized

How did this release come about??

You didn't remember wrong, I have mine stored on an external drive. I am using DS 6.x though

This isn’t something I have actively thought about… but now that you bring it up, I am definitely concerned. If the APIs were deprecated, CarPlay would be useless as the auto manufacturers would not update their head unit.

The thread about an F150 with a known Bluetooth issue is a great example. Number one vehicle sold in the US for a LONG time, and yet no incentive to keep it working apparently

Love reading about these types of R&D efforts, especially when they are successful. I started in robotics in 01 and was present at some of the first commercial vSLAM efforts and materially contributed to a hardware solution utilizing IR beacons on the ceiling. We also looked at RF radio mapping at the time, but the computational power wasn't there. Great to see how far it has come and LOVE that it doesn't require infrastructure!

I am curious how deeply you have had to study the impact of how busy the store is with your signal error? Considering that humans are bags of water which is quite detrimental to RF signals, my guess is that your error increases along with the density of people.

Same. Pass through mode FTW. Was very glad this was an option and works.

ATT fiber pass through -> UniFi Security Gateway -> UniFi 8 port Witch w/ PoE -> UniFi AC Pro WAP

Awesome combo with uptime in years.
