I read just today somewhere that Stadia is not about the future of gaming, but about the future of Youtube, and I think I agree with that assessment. Youtube is feeling the competitive pressure. If I remember right, it's already eclipsed by Amazon …

Unfortunately, "speed" as a single metric is quite misleading. We don't even have to start discussing latency or ask "speed between which two points exactly", how about upload vs download speeds? For example here in Israel, a high-tech "startup …

Quite sceptical about the realities of input lag, and as @JazliAziz says, not everyone has a decent enough connection (ironically, most of USA doesn't, think ComCast). Definitely something to watch, but my expectations are rather low.

The reputation score is definitely super complicated, which is part of the reason we do not have it yet. Also, to wit, why should I care what "Facebook", or some other corporate service entity, "thinks" of me, unless for fraud prevention or …

Same here. We have some Amazon stuff and we have iphones and androids and Macs and some IOT stuff, DIY and not. I currently integrate with HomeAssistant, but on a macro level as a techie I absolutely loathe the incessant fragmentation. What I would …

I have a feeling (purely based on experience, can't quote any science on this) that the very approach is flawed. Getting AI/ML to better understand broader context is fine, but to create yet another imperfect scale, which will be a) arbitrarily …

It is impossible to answer your question in a straight way, because what is happening with Russian space industry is not governed by reason. I mean, of course physics still apply, and there's still a trove of very talented and hard-working people …

This sounds like a Dan Pink quote (not that I don't agree, with caveats)

Here's an alternative (and somewhat tongue-in-cheek on my part) take on what else can be bigger in our phones :) https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/02/26/energizer-puts-a-display-on-top-of-a-massive-18000mah-power-brick-and-calls-it-a-phone/

There was an episode in one of the seasons of Chef's Table about a Korean buddhist nun who is also a chef (maybe not in the very traditional western meaning of the word, but still), and among other very interesting stuff there's a glimpse of soy …

I think it's a kind of meta topic that doesn't rely to Youtube only, but rather to the generic problem of filtered/unfiltered reality. The problem existed always, only the medium changed. Radio, books, movies, TV, Internet, specific content …

I wonder if any of them are ham radio operators :)

We don't do any voice purchasing either, in fact, I have it disabled. We don't have Amazon here anyway, so no Prime and no impulse or utility buying :) and I am skeptical of enabling voice controlled expenses when no real authentication and …

We do a lot of kitchen and children-related timer stuff (it's kinda futile to argue with a robot telling you your time is up :) ). All the usual suspects like weather forecasts, and I also have it hooked up to my Netatmo weather station and sensors …

Found in my backlog a relevant link to a blog post on RFC-like process for engineering orgs - https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/scaling-engineering-teams-via-writing-things-down-rfcs/

Shared patterns at community level in the field that is barely 10 years old (if that) and moving at pretty supersonic speeds is a tall order. I don't think there's a universal answer or solution. Cloud at today's levels of ubiquity was born a few …

I'll hazard a shot. My take is that Chef is not IaC at all. You can use it as such, but it's at root a provisioning tool. As is Puppet. Even Ansible - though it has evolved quite a multitude of uses as an IaC tool, originally it was not and at …

I don't have a comprehensive answer ready (and I'm not an infosec person per se, much more a devops person who has come from the Ops and networking side initially). But all things considered, and acknowledging that creating an easily digestable …

It's not only about the accidental submit. It's also (at least for me) about all the unpredictably unpleasant vertical interline space changes. I get the WYSIWYG idea, but for a communicative/discussion platform there is a bit of uncanny valley …

It was all done in the up-to date Chrome on a Mac. Deleting and re-adding on a line of its own worked from the 3rd try; my only guess is that I have an editing tic of sorts (PTSD from MS Word :) ) where I add newlines by hitting Shift-Enter, not …

According to a pretty nifty app research from Okta, it's not your Dilbert habit or managing personal dentist appointments and kids' classes that kill your productivity at work the most:

not sure why the Youtube embed is not happening here :/

This seems to be a pretty nice overview of the non-dystopian realities and possibilities of modern state of AI/ML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZCU07dno9U

I still have my EOS 50 body, but the hassle of acquiring and then processing the film is keeping me from using it. Probably just an excuse though, I'm in a middle of some kind of photography cooldown which I want/need to climb out of :) (a matter …

IMHO, that is very unlikely to happen.
