Do you have a recommendation for an inexpensive one? I’ve worked with OceanOptics Flame series, but they’re not exactly cheap, and their software was crap.

There’s growing consensus that with uv python tooling finally became good enough in terms of both speed and functionality, no need to choose one or the other (like, poetry had functionality but was extra slow).

The bezel is kinda functional on these watches, also they need it for huge water resistance. This Pebble is more comparable to traditional dress watches which don't have a prominent bezel.

30m (3 bar) basically means splash-proof, not even your stated 1m (activity while submerged, I suppose). Like, 30m is IPX4-5, 50m is IPX6 (very rough equivalence), so 30m is the barest minimum expected from a watch.

While this article looks insightful and mostly fact-based, the source is suspicious as it has at least one highly conspirological antivax post: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-damage-has-mass-...

They are both not easy to make great, but with TUI you have way more constraints than with GUI so you can make something decent quickly and focus on important interaction and not on pixel-perfect button alignment. Windows 98-XP GUIs were th

Didn’t really study this aspect, but it feels like thick AAC blocks would be better for seismic stability than those tuff stone blocks popular in Armenia. It’s lighter, glues to neighboring blocks better due to perfect shape, and has better

It really is amazing, you can build a whole 2-story house out of it quickly using polymer-based glue instead of mortar, only using traditional reinforced concrete in some critical places. Was quite popular in russia, last I checked. Unfortu

In general I agree, but too much resilience can lead to worse infrastructure. Where I live, a couple hours of unannounced electricity outage every week is a non-event, so wires are patched in more and more points. And there's little mo

Probably the one type of PHEV that should survive is basically a BEV with builtin backup generator. One that's not necessarily powerful enough to drive you directly at full speed, but enough to basically eliminate range limitation of a

There are now quite a few options for wifi APs with cellular backup. I use TP-Link, and it's ok for the price, I guess, and supports adding OneMesh range extenders. The problem with this setup for me is that it doesn't work with u

Probably has more to do with responsibility outsourcing: if SaaS has security breach AND they tell in the contract that they’re secure, then you’re not responsible. Sure, there may be reputational damage for you, but it’s a gamble with good

For me the most annoying would be a technically correct solution that completely ignores the “higher-level style” of the surrounding code, at the same time defending the chosen solution by referencing some “best practices” that are not real

Compressed jsonlines with strong schema seems to cover most cases where you aren't severely constrained by CPU or small message size (i.e., mostly embedded stuff).

There should be two dark modes: a simple dark mode, like most dark themes today, to work in dimmed lighting, and an actual night mode, designed to be legible but not mess with adaptation in total darkness. I don't know the research on

Typical web image quality is like it is partly because of lack of support. It’s literally more difficult to show a static HDR photo than a whole video!

Mint/Cinnamon has been my favorite for at least 5 years, after an assortment of KDE/Gnome distros. Basically the only argument for me being on Mac now is full Adobe graphics software support. (I dislike their business practices as

This is probably due to most software working with graphics somewhere (GUI, printing), and font sizes and resolutions are predominantly imperial (pt/dpi).

A bit off-topic, but denoise in LR is like 3 years behind the purpose-built products like Topaz, so a bad example. They've added any ML-based denoise to it when, like a year ago?

In abstract case, you'd probably want to use xy color coordinates from xyY color space to specify LED color. Or even wavelength + spread, as you've tried. Those were the models that were used in one microLED-related research proje

One of the problems seems to be that most moderately complex companies where any one system would be fine with Compose would want to unify their operations, thus going to a complex distributed system with k8s. And then either your unified I

For certain definition of realtime, certainly (as would any system with bounded ingestion latency), but it’s not low-latency streaming realtime. Tens of seconds or more can pass before new data becomes visible in queries in normal operation

Isn't the Online part here about getting results immediately after query, as opposed to overnight batch reports? So if you don't completely overwhelm DuckDB with writes, it still qualifies. The quality you're describing is so

The issue with color to grayscale conversion for human consumption is in most cases there is no well-defined ground truth. People don’t see in grayscale, so the appearance preservation approach doesn’t work. And the source image was most li

Also it has a proper builtin flashlight which is surprisingly useful. Amazing watch, especially if you get a comfortable aftermarket strap e.g. from Hemsut.

And there are 2 kinds of those: the other is refreshable materialized views, which run on schedule, can have dependencies between them, thus can implement quite complex data transformation pipelines.
