    I have a similar weather display made from the m5paper, but it doesn't look so nice (no graphics). It only updates once an hour though, and lasts over a month on a charge.

    I agree, it is a great pattern if you can spare the memory.

    From the website ( https://s3fifo.com/ ), it claims that it needs no locking (backing scalability claims). This seems like an important part of their work too, unless I've missed s…

    Thanks for mentioning this. I had looked at these before, but was holing off due to the cloud-polling home assistant integration.

    I actually had a similar problem trying to park in a parking garage. I talked to some people working there (they were moving 'event day price' signs around). I asked if there was a…

    I've actually had that happen on Android, seemed to somehow kill even all non-tailscale traffic too

    Interns are part of the recruiting pipeline and ramp-up pipeline. It gives the employer an evaluation period much better than an interview. It gives you a chance to see what work t…

    They don't have to. The problem is that they said to investors repeatedly, "Sales are up due to increase in gaming demand", when they actually knew that a signficant portion of the…

    The "nobody dares giving bad feedback" thing isn't about retaliation (though I suppose that could happen). It's because perf is actually the worst place to provide "honest" feedbac…

    In general, yes, I think that would be okay. I think it would be a mistake to create separate sections for each level. Overall your achievements within a single company should not …

    I don't think that is unusual to list the latest level on a resume. I'm certainly not going to dedicate space on a resume to list time ranges for every promotion.

    It's generally not required to 'permanently delete instantly' (this includes GDPR). So you take a backup every day, and delete backups after 30 days (or whatever amount of time you…

    It's still relevant. There are still numbers lower than 1%. Less than 1% of viewers will upvote/downvote a video they watched, which is much easier (and less expensive) than paying…

    This might just be an impreciseness of language, but it's actually 20 days after you've been there 3 years, and 25 after you've been there for 5. So if you're saying 'year six' sta…

    It has a tooltip on the loss section that mentions that the young trees need to get big enough to 'achieve canopy closure'

    This study is about people who got Covid and now have issues, not issues with vaccines.

    Most recalls are just to fix things. It might be replacing brake pads, or a bumper, or in this case some software.

    I think the point is that the service mesh can't do the work of propagation. It needs the client to grab the input header, and attach it to any outbound requests. From the perspect…

    A lot of people at the national labs have Q clearances, even if they never do nuclear stuff. As the article somewhat mentions, it's roughly 'Q=TS+nukes'. So if you need to do any T…
