Formerly in telecom infrastructure; this is correct. Due to the way roaming works, pre-LTE you’d be routed back to your home country while roaming (still the same way on LTE depending on network config).

Others above me have mentioned the reasons why they need them. But I'll reiterate my emphasis on rough/relative timelines. Exact dates are impossible and the farther away a milestone is, the hazier the date is. As an example, a mi

Totally correct. This article is on the "totally idealistic" side, and I think it's important to know what is ideal as a benchmark when working in non-ideal situations. Executives and clients like to see timelines and total p

10 minutes to deploy to production should be fine, but rapid iteration shouldn't be happening in production. It sounds more like the complaint is related to running a similar setup in dev, and taking 10 minutes to see changes during de

I've been considering this calculation for a year or so now. I spend an average of $20/mo on small VMs for testing (including the occasional $1/hr VMs for a couple of hours for heavy loads). I thought I should replace my 2012

This is so incredibly useful! I also remember it from those days as a kid. I wish I knew it was still a thing all this time!

I felt this way about dirt and enduro motorcycling. Went back to regular street riding after a few seasons of enduro. Despite being the slowest guy in the forest, I’d still low-speed crash a couple of times per day and end up replacing smal

How awesome would an updated iSight be today? You could fit an APC-C sized sensor (1.6x crop DSLR) with a 22mm f/2 pancake lens for some insane bokeh. Probably at around the $300 price point. Sure would be easier than hooking a "c

This is particularly hard during quarantine. As much as I dread lifting weights because of the difficulty, I love the feeling during and after. But now that gyms are closed (I wouldn't go if they were open anyway), I don't have a

I just tried to install but it requires Catalina. As someone who is planning on staying on Mojave indefinitely to avoid the Catalina dumpster fire, would love MeetingBar to work with Mojave if it can be easily updated to do so!

As someone who regularly uses old Mac emulators on modern hardware, most programs are hundreds of times faster (despite emulation overhead). As someone who regularly uses an actual old PowerBook 2400 from 1997 for fun, I can say that Photos

This is awesome. As I watched the video I was thinking how great it’d be to have an NFC chip for payments and transit in my watch. Of course, I remembered shortly after that my Apple Watch does this already but I never use it for NFC becaus

I was thinking about this recently. Tight, centralized control over servers, employees computers, and devices is hard to set up, hard to manage, and a huge surface where misconfigurations can allow attackers to jump right in. Decentralizati

I have been wondering for the past two decades: when will media companies will realize that better quality == sales? This sort of happened with iTunes Store when they got rid of DRM on the audio tracks, and with streaming video services (th

As another example: Agile dev team measuring velocity (story points per sprint) to predict how much work they can do in the future. If velocity gets turned into a target, corners will be cut (less testing, poor code quality) in order to get

In my experience, the people making those decisions are aware of the benefits of deep work. But optimizing for it has commonly been a lower priority than other things like the ability to drop in and interrupt developers since that directly

The topic is directly related to my interests as a PM but it goes way over my head quickly. Looking forward to seeing the iterations though!

I also have absolutely no idea this was possible. Just tested it on my 2015 MBP with relatively cheap AOC 27" 4K and DisplayPort and it works perfectly!

Delayed approval of an urgent 3-figure purchase resulting in a 5-6 figure loss in productivity, customer sat, etc. Great example of penny-wise, pound-foolish!

100%, I was worried I'd seem like an old 35-year-old man when I posted my comment. And it's true, I upgrade my hardware much less frequently than I did when I was younger. I don't mind replacing a machine after 8 years of ser

I have that installed and it works really well! But H.264 only goes up to 1080p on YouTube as of a couple of years ago. As mentioned in other comments, I prefer 2.7K or 4K and downsample to get higher bitrate, but this isn't possible w

by jonpurdy 6y ago
True. I just addressed this in a reply above this one as well: Youtube already has too low of a bitrate for 1080p (resulting in MPEG artifacts, color banding, etc). So I like to watch in 2.7K or 4K downsampled, since at least I get a higher

It's not so much about it being able to handle 4K, but Youtube already has too low of a bitrate for 1080p (resulting in MPEG artifacts, color banding, etc). So I like to watch in 2.7K or 4K downsampled, since at least I get a higher bi

My 2012 Mac Mini has quickly become much less useful since YouTube switched from H.264 (AVC) to VP9 for videos larger than 1080p a couple of years ago (Apple devices have hardware decoders). I've tested 4K h.264 videos and they play wo

This was really so much cooler than expected! Might actually use it to replace brain.fm when working. I’d love to see this applied as a general streaming API ingestor, or even used for live tailing log files and playing sounds that match pa

My father actually worked for a startup providing wireless access to rural and urban areas back in the late 90s. It was nice to have a 27 megabit connection to my house when the hottest thing was a 2 megabit DSL line. What cost that company
