Thanks. Can you tell me more about its properties after curing?
Right now, I'd love to make a custom earpiece for my smartphone - something I've done with Sugru in the past. It needs the material to be relatively rigid yet pliable after curing. It also needs to be sticky enough to bond to the phone case (I don't bond them to the phone glass anymore).
I would love a map of job postings to see where it might make sense to move to in the future. If there's 10 jobs within 50 miles... that might be a good place to buy a house.
Additionally, if I filter by 'north america' I still get jobs from canada and india because they're remote only. I would LOVE to be able to filter out those positions. Also I would love to be able to AND 'remote' and 'north america'. I would like to work remotely, but only for US companies
Thank you :) I appreciate the request + feedback. I have a story in the backlog to add location-specific links to the landing page but I really like your idea of having a map (heatmap or something) to show densities of jobs.
So the inclusive vs exclusive filtering is something that I struggle to perfect here. I'm tempted to throw both in the UI (since its ready to go on the backend) but its hard to explain to users. One thing you can do that is not so obvious is add a tag for "Canada" but click on the tag again which will put a line through Canada and exclude that location from your filter (still need to have helpers to show users how to do that). The 'remote' tag is probably the toughest one to parse of a job listing because it might appear anywhere within the text, so there is some inaccuracies for sure but its improving I hope!
Ah I could probably add filters for company locations specifically too (so you can filter US companies), that's an interesting use case too.
Thanks for the compliment too, it has been really fun to build
I've done this before. It's been situations where there's a tricky problem and it's critical to the business
A colleague was working on some critical control code that involves math I didn't understand.
He was committed to figuring it out. I suspect his motivations included 'why isn't this working?', 'I want to deliver this critical piece of the product', and 'I'll be thinking about it all weekend anyway'.
I came into the office to use the gym and found him working there; we got to talking about the problem. Long story short, my workout was about 90 minutes longer than normal, and he delivered the feature on monday.
I totally agree that the company culture shouldn't have this vibe check. However, I do acknowledge that sometimes we, as part of our human code, just CANT rest until we figure it out. IMO a nice middle ground would be getting paid a little extra to solve it on sunday :)
Tangential: is there an IDE out there that supports different color schemes for each window it has open? does Pragtical? I didn't see it in the docs
I used to like having different projects open in different windows and easily differentiate between them with their color schemes. Kinda like setting a terminal to open with a random color profile
It seems like vscode and sublime want to change the scheme across all the windows.
in vscodium I have a different left bar color for each project - not exactly what you want but I can easily differentiate between them.
There is a workspace settings json file per project:
"settings": {
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"activityBar.background": "#faf7c7",
"activityBar.foreground": "#000000" }
}
(disclaimer: this works on Debian Gnome)
awesome work. The demo is incredibly smooth and I love the disappearing walls
As a renter, I would love to be able to measure distances in the 3d render. 'Will my couch fit here?'; 'How High are the ceilings?'; 'can I fit my bike above the tv?'; 'how far down the hall is my roommate?'; 'can I fit my desk and dresser next to each other?'
Every apartment I've rented started with me taking a Laser Distance Measure with me and making my own floor plan with height measurement as well.
I see the room square footage, but that's honestly less useful to me than the dimensions (again from a renter's perspective)
It struck me that I have no idea how curiosity is instructed to move
I suspect someone can't be sitting in front of a computer with a joystick, moving a foot, waiting for curiosity to move a foot, then move another foot...
My next thought is nasa creates a route based on the map and then provides route data to curiosity. But there's no GPS (again, I assume). So is it all dead-reckoning? NASA somehow calculates 'move 100 ft forward, turn left 80 degrees, move 10 ft forward", etc?
That would be a long time between joystick commands, seeing as Mars varies from four to twenty four minutes away at the speed of light. Double that for round-trip (video to Earth, command to Mars).
My biggest disappointment with Dark Patterns and Unethical Design is Spotify.
I've been using spotify for over a decade, paying for premium almost the entire time. The last couple years have just been awful with ads, 'promotions', and 'suggestions' that are just more ads.
Popups for concerts every 5th time I open the ad. There's NO way of turning this 'feature' off. I turned off concert recommendations, but there is NO way of turning off concert recommendations IN THE APP. I spent about 3 weeks with their support until I got in contact with a developer who confirmed this. 100% 'nagging'
The suggestions and mixes, I am convinced, include artists that pay for promotion. Artists that I have 0 interest in, and are only tangentially related to a song in a playlist of mine. 'disguised ads'
Pushing podcasts EVERYWHERE. Why can't I remove the 'podcasts' playlist from my playlists? I didn't create it, why is it there? Also auto-playing podcast videos on the spotify home page, man that bugs me. And the spotify home used to be really useful, now it's 60% ads, and 40% useful. I think this is a form of 'nagging' too.
I've had 'recommended artists' that are from genres I don't listen to. 'disguised ads'
Spotify has gotten much more aggressive in the past couple years.
I remember it being a lot worse than it currently is, so I think they've realized a lot of that doesn't work or are doing some A/B testing on fixing things. My Spotify homepage is entirely relevant to me content outside of three sections for "popular" things. I'd say the audiobooks section is irrelevant since I don't care for them, but their recommendations are pretty much dead on. My mixes are all based around a different band I like. It used to shove a lot of "recommended" music I obviously wouldn't care for at me but hasn't for a while.
Release Radar is my only complaint, it frustrates me since it misses things from bands I listen to constantly and what it finds 90% of the time feels like they should just say "nothing new came out that you would like".
They seem to have backed up a little bit lately with that BS but their price creeping up and the sound quality (or lack thereof) is pushing me closer to Apple music every day.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. There's plenty of cheap RTSP and ONVIF compliant cameras coming out of china, but I trust them exactly 0%. I also don't trust us-based companies with remote access via their services. So I'm learning how to partition my home network to not allow the cameras on a vlan to not access the outside world.
But then I need to figure out how to access the video streams.. from the network my computer is on that does have access to the outside world.
I'm a firmware engineer, so I haven't touched networking since my IT job in college.
Here's a setup that works. Get POE cameras. Get a powered switch with sufficient power to power the cameras. The cameras and the switch form their own subnet. Get a PC with two Ethernet jacks (or an Ethernet and a WIFI). Install NVR software, Blue Iris, iSpy, ZoneMinder, etc, on the PC to record and process the videos from the cameras. These softwares are all good with RTSP and ONVIF, with easy camera detection via port scanning. Connect the PC to the switch on one Ehternet jack and connect it to your general network with the other one (or WIFI). The cameras are running in their little isolated subnet. The NVR PC sits between the camera subnet and the general subnet. Access from outside reaches the NVR PC only, not the cameras. You can even open the WAN firewall to reach the PC's WIFI side to access the videos from Internet. Some of these NVR software can stream videos to outside phone apps or web apps.
Sorry if I came off negatively. I was responding to OP. Your products look good. Here's a bit of my experience on using NVR if that helps in better product design.
Most NVR's are PC + powered switch built into one. I found them to be running very hot most of the times since they need a fairly beefy power supply to power the cameras and the PC itself. The WIFI only NVR's are much better and the only power drawn is video processing on the PC. Blink Module is a good example.
Another problem is the tight integration of hardware. When I have more cameras than the PoE jacks on the NVR, it becomes obsolete. When some hardware fails on the NVR, the whole thing fails. My last integrated NVR developed a problem in the disk controller and the whole thing couldn't be salvaged.
In the next round of setting the system up, I decided to de-couple all the pieces for better maintenance and upgradibility. The sweet spot I found is: cameras + powered switch + PC + NVR software + external USB storage. It has work great so far. The old PC was underpowered and I swapped it out without impacting the other pieces. I added more disks as needed with minimum fuss. I replaced some of the cameras without much problem.
You're right in that ordinary customers probably won't do all those. For a customer product, a NVR that works with WIFI cameras makes the easiest sales. It has much lower hardware requirement thus keeping the cost down. WIFI cameras are easier to set up and thus plentiful. If it has an Ethernet jack, you can sell a separate powered switch to make it work with the PoE cameras. Basically it's a souped up Blink Module that works with other cameras, with storage, and can stream to apps and web.
I mean you can sell a whole package of the pieces, plus phone apps and cloud storage, to offer a complete solution. Most of the pieces are off the shelf, but you can still offer a complete solution with some critical proprietary pieces like your NVR software. Of course you can offer piece by piece as needed, as long as all the pieces can fit together. There're a lot of cross selling opportunities.
I appreciate this. This will definitely help with product decisions.
Btw, our video security hub (aka Spartan) has NVR capabilities built in - but it's more selective about what it's recording (based on the rules you've set). It can coexist with an NVR on the same network, or it can replace it entirely. And it can work with WiFi cameras, today (we just recommend wired for security).
> Also, this feels like my Dropbox moment (the infamous comment below) :)
Isn't that just the whole cloud (and also a gazillion other services)? I think the argument of "Why pay DropBox when you can just FTP" also applies to why pay AWS when I can manage my own servers? And then to further extend, why pay the supermarket when I can just grow vegetables at home?
Mine are ONVIF-discoverable and will expose RTSP (H264 and H265) URLs and a snapshot URL. As I mentioned, they are 'dumb' (video and snapshots are their main purpose), and it's the security hub that makes them smart. No cloud-based remote access, your data stays on your device.
If you decide to check it out, and feel free to ping me (email in profile). I am proud of these things, for the reasons you mentioned :)
If your cameras are PoE, you can use an NVR that doubles as a PoE switch and can create a separate network for the cameras. Some NVRs will also relay RTSP from them so it will be accessible on your LAN. Alternatively, adding static routes to devices will allow them to see the cameras locally.
Unfortunately, the NVR will probably have the same type of vulnerabilities as the cameras in question (they come from same manufacturers).
it's not the same formula by any means, but there's a large variety of putties with different properties.
my current go-to is "Polymeric Systems Kneadatite Blue/Yellow Epoxy Putty Tape 90cm Green Stuff"
