I keep hearing stories but am yet to be burned with a fake myself. Perhaps paying attention to the seller and the listing makes a difference after all (I don’t know how others do it), or Amazon US uses different procedures when shipping int

by goblin89 7y ago
I haven’t had too many issues ordering from Amazon, but I go through much effort making sure seller is reputable every time and listing was not swapped. Both Adorama and B&H sell on Amazon too, but for photo/video gear I would go t

Sweet, I stand corrected!

I’d be curious if there was a node interface framework for React (Rete is Vue-oriented, which is not made obvious until you follows installation docs).

The action of taking the former is probably in alignment with some goals (even if potentially short-sighted), while contracting the latter alters your behavior so that it can spread more widely in accordance with the goals of its own DNA.

Tangentially (and anecdotally), not long ago I seem to have contracted what seems like a flu (or the like), and I remember feeling very healthy, social and unusually well—almost high—most of the day right until my brain went foggy and fever

Choosing technologies with higher long-term maintainability (support, operations, ongoing development) potential may be worth it in absence of strong software development culture and extensive engineering resources—which is often the case w

Rereading ancestor comments I think we are on the same page actually, but in case I’m wrong… In general, I could appreciate the decision to make a stance in this way on a personal level, but when evaluating a real landing page for a paid pr

by goblin89 7y ago
Agreed, that‘s a possibility. Although a properly tested landing page probably shouldn’t crash a relatively mainstream browser on current version regardless of its quirks (technical correctness isn’t everything), this wouldn’t be an excuse

Maybe that’s a joke, but this page appears to have managed to crash Safari on iOS a couple seconds after loading.

I’m not so willing to engage with consulting agencies. I find it very difficult to deliver a good product with an added degree of removal from the final customer, which is how some of those agencies structure work in order to maintain their

Are there any study cafes/coworking places where you live? Those usually charge for time. That’d be the primary competition, as well as possible reference business model.

Economically, a lot of businesses profit from mainland Chinese tourists (some mainly thanks to them). Reduced travel in light of this year’s events has caused a serious drop in sales of luxury products, for example. Yesterday I talked about

Not sure about a new video of James Duane, but there’s a relatively recent write-up[0]. His advice generally stands, but with caveats: — To prevent invoking the 5th from seeming as admission of guilt to jurors and to the public, it may be s

by goblin89 7y ago
Any crime is inherently evaluated as “worse” or “better” than another crime under most judicial systems, which is reflected in sentences and in allocation of police resources. One can express their agreement with current allocation of resou

Apparently now in California it’s a misdemeanor if car’s broken window is worth less than $950.

The scale makes the difference. Similarly, you don’t expect your appearances in public spaces to be private, but you would likely object if someone could arbitrarily pull video recordings of you and trace your movement through the day.

“Culture can’t be broken, any more than complexity can be the cause of failure”. Am I in the minority thinking that “complexity is the cause of failure” may in fact be a useful and actionable statement? Start analyzing where complexity resi

I chuckled at Hasan Minhaj’s (obviously at least semi-facetious) take on TikTok being a Chinese company during one of his stand-ups. The gist of it was, basically, what if all of TikTok’s user base was suddenly doing their usual viral moves

It is of interest! I am in the process of learning TouchDesigner, looking to integrate it with Ableton Live. I doubt I’ll have enough GPU power for real-time 3D renders based on changing sound or visual input though… Currently I am consider

Is this real-time 3D taking into account dancer’s motions? I imagine it takes a crazy GPU rig? In any case, very impressive.

In your example, law enforcement can force itself into the conversation in multiple ways (without compromising your counterpart), including listening devices or a break-in. Most real-life analogies to encryption are not good enough. A smart

Perhaps I did not express that well. This is how things may go: (1) I need to build this, but the Makefile is broken. (2) I invoke the build directly by asking colleague for help. (3) Can I be bothered to update the docs? Maybe. Can I be bo

Unlike a target, .PHONY can be populated incrementally. For example, this: .PHONY: serve live-reload serve: init deps compile db-setup db-migrate rails server live-reload: yarn ./bin/webpack-dev-ser

While I support the sentiment that privacy is important, comparing encryption to locks in this ghastly context is self-defeating. Recall that there were more than one instance where critical evidence against a wealthy person, required for t

For those on iOS, I can thoroughly recommend the beorg app for using emacs org mode on the go. It integrates nicely into the OS, offering sync via iCloud Drive (Dropbox and others too, though I don’t use that) and showing notifications for

This looks like an effort to bring to REST APIs some of the benefits GraphQL offers, mainly by adding extensive conventions on top of traditional HTTP endpoints. Comes with an implementation in Ruby. The idea has some merit. That said, I am
