At one point due to the way I was using my just above my wrist my skin basically calloused from the edge of the macbook. Now at least the lid is not that sharp but it used to be I recall and I always worried about kids getting hit by it in case of an accident.
People do love trumping up what they have done. Developers feeling their project was absolutely essential when it might be more about NIH. But are any categories of people more used to trumping up their pointless work so high that any reasonable person would be too shameful to attach their name to the narrative? I guess PR people and politicians can compete with them or even take the first two places.
This doesn't take away from what wondrous thing a designer can achieve. It's an enormously difficult thing to design something that's functional and pleasing and in some cases provide a mood (calm, fast, serious). This sort of bullshit from what I imagine uber expensive designs rebranding major corporations simply highlights the value and rarity of a good designer.
I'm curious were they ever serious about their craft? Or the pursuit of promotion and glory took away their original ethos or they drunk the cool aid so much that they actually believe what they are saying?
Well, there's good to have vs. stupid. It would perhaps be nice to have per-app volume. But the fact that iPhone has just a global volume ... that my ringtone vs. media volume can't be separate is plain stupid isn't it. I will turn down volumes because at work/kids and lost my ringtone. I mean who makes decisions like that?
Now in terms of a little thing that's a major annoyance is the alarm. Android has this feature where upcoming alarms are shown as notifications which you can turn off (just the next one). I set multiple alarms for the morning so that if I shut off one I get another. Now if I wake up on the 1st alarm I will have the next 2 on notification that I can turn off. On iPhone I will keep having those alarm bells and turn them off (which can wake up my kids/wife) or disable them once I wakeup and I might end up forgetting to turn them on for the next day.
Now the freedom in terms of application or browser and extension!!! are obviously general problems.
There seems to be newer players both open source and commercial now. But a lot of the focus seems in metric and specially distributed traces. Does anyone in the open source do code level profiling (cpu, allocation, locks etc.) preferably sampling profiler (including Java)?
Is there anything similar for healthcare IoT? It seems most products have their own App and Backend to share the data and nothing remotely close to universal.
This page shows event pattern available for both oss vs. cloud. The blog doesn't mention exactly how this is being which would be an interesting read but I understand if a secret sauce.
I recall quite a few years ago a standalone commercial & hosted tool for doing something like this just on logs for anomaly detection. Anyone has any reference for similar tools for working with direct log data (say from log files) or in a similar capacity like hypderdx (oss or commercial)
I would love to read something like that too. I find such tools are fairly hard to evaluate since some of the challenges only comes with scale and you often need a real/realistic scenario to actually figure out if the tool will be useful in a pinch.
I wonder what languages it support for language libraries or is it just limited to linux packages? Say java, js etc. ?
Is it marking something active on access or actually checking execution? On execution doesn't work for at least js payload on the other hand on access would add to noise say for an ls.
KeepassXC is good in a lot of ways but I don't use a cloud sync service and finding a good multi platform doesn't seem easy. I do love KeepassXC auto type a lot and website autocomplete is sometimes better than enpass but sometime cause problem which I need to investigate.
Is there any option if I want to do traditional (non JS) SSR but also want to share an API endpoint for both browser and other use cases?
Seems like a JS frontend framework or a JS SSR is the only option for such use case. If SSR and API force a JS backend that leaves a lot of the benefit that other languages bring to the table and effectively limiting you to 1 (JS) or 2 (TS including) languages. Seems like a sad state of affair in that regard.
I think the point is they have a Postgres server running anyway as the datastore and the job queue being in Postgres gives you HA, backup and Transaction for free. I think Redis in particular won't give you transaction right?
Needing Transactional semantics for jobs alongside an application operation makes a lot of simpler queue/tool choices difficult.
The one reluctant use I see of JS based UI (does anyone have an alternative solution?) is to reuse API. Right now we have two code path one where a user action renders the html server side and returns it another where an API call for similar work returns a JSON. A JS UI page can consume the JSON and can render the page reusing the core API.
