Portal was pretty good and an originalish product

Location: Canada Remote: Would prefer remote but can do onsite/relocate Willing to relocate: Yes (already have EU work eligibility and can get US visa) Technologies: Python, JavaSc…

I've used parsyncfp2 which I think is just another implementation of the same thing and I've definitely seen 2x-3x throughput improvement when transferring over large distances. As…

How does this differ from parsyncfp2? https://github.com/hjmangalam/parsyncfp2

When I was dogfooding their Horizon/avatar products I would often provide this kind of feedback on surveys. I no longer work there anymore. On a serious note testing VR stuff was o…

I suspect it's for the same reason not everyone runs adblockers on their browser. Either not knowing about the alternative or laziness.

I think EVs will head in the complete opposite direction in that sales will slow down and they will continue to be a minority. Ford just killed off the F150 lightning and EVs (but …

Why? We can just get 7 engineers to work on each laser in parallel and it'll be done in record time!

Yeah I did clicker training for her to learn fetch and she know how to. She just seems to have zero association between the "fetch" word and action.

I think we have the same cat. I also did the clicker training for paw/fist tricks and sitting pretty quick. I took a pause with the stick pointing because she traumatized herself w…

I'm impressed by the degree of selective catS possess. They can responds to like 5 different names if in the mood while other times won't event flinch even after repeating 20 times…

I would love to believe this but given my experience with my cat even single words are tough for them. For example my cat knows how to fetch her favorite toy but doesn't respond to…

Maybe they'll gamify it with credits and make you watch ads for in order to gain them and thus use the service for free.

They disable so many features when you remove "Smart features" i.e. Grammar, Spelling, Autocorrect, Smart Compose/Reply (those templated suggested replies), Nudges, Package trackin…

Open/Close sensors + lights (and optionally luminance sensor) is what I find to be useful. When I open my home door the light turns on automatically if it's dark enough.

It's interesting because this is exactly right in that this chipset can't handle these high resolutions that well. The Play For Dream VR headset team went into this a bit and they'…

Didn't we already get there with Mountain Dew [1] and Pure Kick [2]? [1] https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2023/10/05/snack-with-doritos-mt... [2] https://www.purekick.com/products/forza…

I think at their scale it would be very difficult to provide a consistent and flavorful coffee. For better or worse they gained a large market based on dark roast coffee dessert dr…

I believe it originates as the French translation of Gb

I also thought about this but wanted to look into an ESP32 CAM to get vision working. For better or worse I didn't pursue the idea as I thought in the end repurposing a cell phone …

I wonder how soon it will be before some company starts renting these out from the city for ad space.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get an interview with Netflix. > employees that all they needed to do is deliver what the company wanted How did this work out in practice and across…

> Or you mean quarter by quarter the engineers had to show that they were making impact in their perf review This is what I think they were referencing. Launching things looks nice…

While I haven't tried it I think the environmental/conflict-free angle may be the only one they can target. The organic/vegan/vegetarian angle is already out since we do have choco…

Can you elaborate? The android app, browser extension, and desktop app all keep in sync for me.
