From the various links in the comments, the telescope uses special filters in front of the lenses to capture the faint glow in specific wavelengths emitted by the circumgalactic medium (a new word for me!) aka "gas" around galaxies.
Curious, what does someone gain with MacTCP? I'm not familiar with the space, but a casual glance (not an assessment!) suggests that OpenTransport was standard-ish from system 7.6 onwards.
Does it boil down to compatibility with older hardware?
I've been playing with this for a few hours and had similar questions about scrubbing custom tokens or headers from the submitted data.
One concern I have about the instant-replay feature is the potential performance implications when monitoring multiple tabs or windows. I'm not particularly fond of the idea of all sites in this way and prefer better controls there.
I saw the block list inside the extension, but I think an allow list makes more sense for this use case. That way, .ycombinator.com or .example could work as opt-in for instant replay, and ideally, those domains could be preconfigured at the team level.
Acknowledging Chrome's extension per-site permissions is a valid option, but it's clunky.
+1 vote for a datadog integration, in addition to backend data I would love to see this work well with RUM. For now, I'll settle for jamming a common ID into Jam.Metadata and see how that works out.
I also thought Jam would accept bug reports from end-users and look forward to the development of that feature.
Comments synced to timestamps in the recordings are nice. Have you considered a scribble/annotation like the still screenshots, but for videos? The annotations could be anchored to the comment timestamp, and they would help capture a UX micro-interactions that may not be obvious in a still or video.
> June 5, 2002 - Mozilla.org, the organization that coordinates Mozilla open-source development and provides services to assist the Mozilla community, today announced the release of Mozilla 1.0, the first major-version public release of the Mozilla software. A full-fledged browser suite...
IIRC one of Mozilla's v1 killer features was "tabs" in a time when opening links in a new window was the only (mainstream) option for a meandering web junkie.
Trademark games are pretty common in consumer tech. FaceTime and iOS are high profile examples of names ("marks" in parlance) that ended up licensed / transferred.
I'm trying to avoid sounding overly nostalgic about Palm OS but it really was a nice personal computer.
This snippet highlights the focus on UX (beyond the look and feel!), and as creators I think many of us can relate to (and maybe remind others...) how great products require deliberate care in design AND implentation.
> The user interface received particular scrutiny. Hawkins set firm limits that any slow operation be reworked instead of showing a busy indicator, and explicit error messages should be avoided. Graffiti was a given because handwriting had to work, as no physical keyboard would have fit at the time. Mindful of how unusual such a device would be to many users, Ed Colligan declared that Touchdown should “delight the customer,” and developer Rob Haitani established a design theory he grandly christened the “Zen of Palm"
Not meant as a nitpick but lots of links to docs are "dead" or redirect to that placeholder. quick example: on your home page both compliance links go nowhere.
The patron saint of hackers is making the rounds again. Whether you are a fan or not, his book "iWoz" is full of these stories like trolling casino pit bosses with the pad of bills.
A few years ago I had the privilege of meeting the woz after an event at which he was a speaker.
I was surprised at how humble and patient he was with people vying for his attention, many asking for him to autograph laptops and whatever else they had at hand.
I got his attention when I asked him about tetris and we geeked out a bit over it. Thats a story for another day but I did walk away from that conversation with a prized souvenir -- an autographed $2 bill: https://imgur.com/gallery/TQo0KOi
In a time where every constraint was extremely limiting (batteries, storage, cpu / SoCs, IO, displays) there were many interesting approaches to hardware and software designs for ultraportable computing.
Almost very PDA in the market had a fairly distinct OS -- or at least custom "spins", not unlike android today with manufacturer customizations.
I owned (and loved) several palm OS based devices, but I always looked at the folding "tiny laptop" form factor of the Psion series (and the Zaurus) with major nerd envy.
Thank you for sharing, and I'm sorry for your loss, fellow HNer.
About 8 years ago I was enjoying a lazy morning with my dear grandmother, who was feeling particularly chatty as she insisted on making us breakfast.
Having previously recorded her making traditional foods (empanadas + tamales) in her kitchen before moving away, I had always wanted to interview her about life.
There was no better time to start, so I elevated my iPhone off the kitchen table and recorded her stories that morning.
The stories would turn out to be an amalgamation of different eras of her life, from growing up in a small village in Colombia, working as a seamstress, starting a small business, and raising a family in a strange land US. Many of the details were slightly intertwined and a little mixed up. The accuracy of the stories was not as important as her willingness to tell them.
She passed away a year ago, and that recording has brought comfort and laughter to her sisters, children, and grandchildren.
Why do you think that most viewers would get from an "image has filter" indicator?
I imagine most people _know_ when a filter has been applied.
Image modification via filters / sliders / tools are built into the product and a core part of the user-generated content creation loop, at this point any image on instagram is expected to have a filter applied.
Is there a threshold for "not reality"? Sharpening and color representation in digital images are already illusions.
What's your suggestion for images edited outside of the instagram app? I did not look for any statistics but if you take a cursory glance at the "explore" section of instagram, I'd argue that most of the images were taken with a DSLR or a camera not built into the device that posted the image. So it's likely those images went through some form of modification and enhancement.
If the concern is for viewers being deceived by these images, I think it more likely that viewers are deceived by the "story" behind the image, than the image itself.
Wireshark and its predecessors have made it easy to visualize how protocols actually work, and peel back the magic that makes the internet work.
Between the ability to "follow TCP stream" or the "conversation" views between two hosts, wireshark has helped connect the abstract and the observed / real behavior of networks. Which seems to make the difference for people trying to get beyond the basics of networking in workshops / training sessions.
The built-in protocol dissectors are also a big help for teaching.
Some common situations won't work well out of the box (multi interface PCAPs), or I need to read the manual again... but with a bit of scripting / light processing of the PCAP it works very well.
Yes it looks like a great replacement for network-scripts.
And at first glance, it appears to have better design goals than Canonical's (also yaml based) netplan.
Specifically the "transactional" aspect of nmstate, in which a config change should either fully succeed or fail, with a failure state is a rollback to the pre-transaction state.
The desired vs actual state dilemma and atomicity, is where most of these high-level network configuration tools fall apart in practice.
These branches of computing history are really interesting.
> Domain/OS uses a single-level storage mechanism, whereby a program gains access to an object by mapping object pages directly into the process's address space.
It sounds similar in that respect to IBM i, and seems like an evolutionary branch that died off. What ever happened to this paradigm?
