Tile trackers are accurate within +-90cm based on some empirical tests I did for using them to monitor my cat's activity throughout my house. So Apple's +-30cm does seem to be a fairly major improvement, if true.

Sure, in the same way that code is intellectual property and should never be shared, and all ideas should all be patented in case they become worth something. In all seriousness, I'm OK with that as long as people are honest about it.

Well, it's only $1/mo difference for the smallest droplet. As you go up in tiers: $2, $3, $4, $8, $16 dollar differences. I think it's a little scummy that they go out of their way to hide it and make the more expensive optio

The article approach requires access to apache access logs, so you'd need to host your static site on an apache (or other) server with logs you can access.

I just deployed Plausible.io[1] for my blog $6/mo on a droplet, it's self-hosted and 100% open source. It seems very privacy focused, and provides basically the same minimalist data described in this article. I always find it weir

Not to scare you, but I advise following up with a doctor as soon as possible. My 21 year old brother who was otherwise completely healthy suffered a similar short pattern of pain due to blood clots (not related to vaccine) but with severe

You are 100% correct, this was a mis-characterization by me due to a misunderstanding I had. I've updated this section of the article to explain.

No, I work full-time at Sourcegraph (and do quite a lot there, if I’m being honest.) I work 10am-6pm at Sourcegraph generally, and 6pm-2am on Hexops, sleeping ~7-6 hours generally. Working weekends also helps me get a lot more time into sid

There is also Nano-Hydroxyapatite toothpastes, from Japan. From my naive understanding, it is better than NovaMin and Flouride generally - there has been a lot of research on it.

Important to note this isn't a memory corruption bug, though. This is a case of the application working as designed, but in unintended ways. A logic flaw. I say this because I don't see a lot of effort being put into solving these

In college (in the US, 2015 ish) I worked at the on-campus bookstore part-time. My only job was to say welcome to people and ask if I could help them find what they are looking for so that we'd get graded well by secret shoppers. Ironi

The younger talent they are trying to recruit prefers a lively city with broad culture and opportunities, which exist in many places outside of SV - and in different forms than just the tech mono-culture that SF is today.

The exhaust pipes on this don't look very lengthy, maybe 3 feet max - I imagine this would introduce some challenges keeping the engine running, or require some fairly precise depth control to avoid water getting in the exhaust?

Understood, this helped me a lot, thank you. I definitely had confusion around DFA/NFA being a _type of regex engine implementation_ and see now why that is incorrect. I updated the article[0] so as to hopefully not confuse others, rea

Thanks for the super detailed response again, Andrew! I have a ton to learn from you about how production grade regex engines work honestly :) Do you have any tips for learning as much as you have aside from mulling over papers and existing

I imagine this works for regex engines like RE2 that don't support backtracking, but would not be possible if supporting more advanced regex features like backtracking? I definitely have more to learn about automata and FSMs :)
