I own an emotiscope[1]. Crafted by a solo developer that went on to do other things. This device seems to have implemented the hard part pretty well. Different algorithms with minimal delay.
The Cisco Time Series model is inspired by this model from Google. This one is targeted at observability data and I can confirm it works great in that context https://github.com/splunk/cisco-time-series-model
As a user I don’t get why Apple allows this user hostile behavior in an app they distribute in their app store.The platform has alternatives. iOS has a sharing sheet. iOS has a default browser setting (in EU).
Vulcan point in the Taal Crater is my favorite recursive island. It’s an island in a lake on an island in a lake on a big island in the ocean (the Philippines).
FTA: A chat bot can handle expected, middle-of-the-road queries (as in, for a bank, “what’s my balance” and so on) – but customers can get those answers already from the app or website.
This is where the author misses the point. Chat bots will be te main interface in the future. Especially for these mundane middle of the road queries. Integrated into voice controlled ai buddies.
The author is spot on for the more complicated requests. Even though these will be triaged by a the ai buddy.
In my career I got quite some technical certifications. Any cert shows you are taking your job seriously and you are willing to learn.
The following three certs helped to show I know my field really well and these separated me from others that just say they know it. Cisco CCNA/CCNP, Linux institute LPI and Agile Alliance certified Scrum master.
Later on I used certifications to quickly pivot into a niche, sometimes when already practicing the role. Architecture (togaf) and product management.
Many moons ago I created all graphs in the LPIC2 exam prep book [1] using graphviz. The book is open sourced now, and all dot files are preserved in the accompanying repo [2].
One thing I learned creating these graphs was that with some tinkering you have quite a lot of control on how the result will look, without littering the semantic in the source file with a lot of markup.
I choose graphviz because the dot notation can easily be checked into source control. It is also easy to create reproducible results using a makefile.
I’ve fixed production bugs by removing code copied verbatim from the PHP manual. It looked like the clueless previous developer had copy pasted code from all over the place until the code sort of did what it was supposed to do. The code snippets by itself were ok, the composition created numerous bugs.
Probably none. Why should telemetry data sent from Mars be encrypted? Encryption makes the system more complex and requires more computations and power on Mars.
Some retailers already use RFID to track items around the store.
They track the full journey of items around the store. Which items go into the fitting room together, which will be eventually bought, etc. Not to combat theft, but to optimize store display and advise given by store clerks.
This tracking also allows for accurate inventory display online. A store is in effect a warehouse for the on-line channel.
As a user I really don't like sites disabling autofill. In this case, you make me type my address, because you want to use one address field.
A better solution would be to detect safari, and present multiple fields, which will be autofilled. You can then concatenate these fields in the backend to whatever you like.
The future of iPhone charging is wireless. The current iPhone12 with MagSafe is the first of the new system. I predict future iPhones will have no physical ports at all, 100% wireless.
