I'm sure MS is super uncomfortable with GitHub's AWS bill. I've just assumed they're fast-tracking a migration to Azure

seriously, zig is so amazing. if all zig was was https://andrewkelley.me/post/zig-cc-powerful-drop-in-replace... it would be unbelievable, but it's so much more than that.

I haven't looked into it recently but yeah, like I said I was trying to find the sweet spot with pen latency and price. The iPad was cheap (~$350) and had great pen latency, whereas the reMarkable was not cheap or as full featured, and

i spent a long time researching various writing devices, such as the reMarkable, the microsoft surface, the ipads, wacom, etc., and the ipad (in my case, the non-pro) at the time at least really had the best ratio of pixel latency to price.

oh this is actually really good and it's just a $10 mirror! you can see the people you're presenting to, and while they can't see your face, they can see what you're writing. what a neat idea

the jam app used to be able to join google meets natively but when i checked most recently it appears they removed that feature :( strong agree on having an independent device for whiteboarding so you can see heads is more important than th

To elaborate on my last sentence more, whiteboarding is about trying to think! I'm trying to diagram thoughts out for people. The last thing I want to do in the middle of my thoughts is have to stop the thought to futz around with menu

I suppose Google Docs has trained me to be surprised if my ctrl-Z undoes someone else's edit. I haven't noticed wondering about this before though so perhaps I just haven't hit this case? It's a great question.

by jtolds 6y ago
huh, i didn't realize i was missing this and now i miss it. that said, it's usually not too bad to underline and then click "undo" (which is what i have been doing since i didn't know what i was missing)

That might fix the finger erase issue but that makes collaborative whiteboarding harder maybe.

Here's the best set up I've used so far: 1) Get the cheapest iPad that supports the Apple Pencil. The 2018 non-Pro was this for me last I looked. 2) Get the Google Jamboard app (not the Jamboard hardware, it is not at all worth it

Yep, though it's worth pointing out that Tardigrade has a per-object fee and has per-account resource limits as circuit breakers. We are currently targeting archival use cases more than content delivery, and while we expect to start ed

This is a great idea we are asked about frequently. We've been heads down, focused on getting the core of the product ready for a while now, but expect us to start looking much more earnestly at these types of use cases this year! Curr

The latter being academic doesn't mean it is not also of practical import to correct usability.

I'm very puzzled by the consensus group load balancing section. The article emphasizes correctness of the Raft algorithm was super important (to the point that they skipped clear optimizations!!11), but, then immediately follows up wit

My theory is that these UFOs aren't physical but are projections from elsewhere, literally like a TV projector. If two sources direct waves at the same location correctly, perhaps the interference can make the air molecules emit light

I'm surprised that the comments here focus on any specific video and don't focus on the fact that YouTube starts recommending the next similar video. YouTube has convinced me that recommendation systems are garbage in general. T

Wait, so with Github taking complete responsibility for Atom, that means Atom and VSCode are now ultimately run/sponsored by the same company (MS)?

I agree, but it is for some reason! Over a quarter billion in ICO money (filecoin) was raised on proof of replication.
