This isn't a bad price point for a set of glasses that allows for shared spatial anchors. It is disappointing that they don't provide SDK access to the front cameras. If they are truly targeting the business market they need to go after the customer service industry, one of HoloLen's biggest niches.

Years ago, with their original dev kit, they had a set of glasses that offered an SDK with video access, spatial anchors, all kinds of stuff. I don't know why they just didn't continue selling that.

omg, all this time I've been giving FastMail the credit. What a nice little feature.

Thank you, I hadn't heard of pandoc previously. Pretty cool way to store a resume.

How are you converting the markdown format resume to a Word doc / PDF?

Nope, just a mailto:

But analytics wouldn't allow me to respond to the people asking for help.

The site has been up for over 20 years, I think I added the email address about 10 years ago. If it was a mistake and would result in massive amounts of spam surely I would have felt the effects by now.

> What I am thinking to add on my personal website, though, is a "send a reply" box at the end

I just list my email address. FastMail's spam filters are good enough that I rarely get spam so it hasn't been a problem. Occasionally I'll get an email from a dev asking following up questions or if I can help them with their code. It's nice to know that it's not just my mom reading the site.

I'm surprised you're getting downvoted. The iPhone has been IP67 since iPhone 7 (so 7 years now). I figured more people appreciated this. I assume most Androids are the same. It's nice to be able to go kayaking and not worry about having to have a waterproof case. Mine once spent 10 hours in a back cycling jersey pocket where it rained the entire time and it was perfectly fine.

I worked at a company where we split the interview up. 5 interviews (including HR screen). The 3 tech screens were just that - tech screens. You didn't go over the work history or work in a team. It was three 45 minute sessions with a developer where you were given leetcode questions to complete in the 45 minutes. Nothing else.

I was asked to do one for another team and during the meeting where we discussed if the prospective hire would get hired I got in trouble because I didn't copy and paste the candidates pseudo-do code into an IDE and see if it compiled. I never agreed to do one again.

I had someone call Friday night. I sent it to voice mail and they immediately hung up and called back. It happed again and I sent it to voice mail again. On the third call in under a minute I thought something must be wrong and maybe this was a friend of a friend in trouble. I answered and they said “Are you interested in selling your house at 1234….”

I hung up, mad at myself for falling for it, and at them for being so ballsy. Then they texted (it came through as an iMessage so I’m assuming it’s their real number) and they said “not sure what happened but we got cut off!”

It’s so disappointing that they didn’t go with the traditional dog leg

Ugh, please no! I think it’d be cooler if it was lighter and slimmer than other cards, not 4x as heavy.

Many people don't spend their evenings watching television. Many spend it working a 2nd or 3rd job, or going to school, or caring for a sick relative, or some combination of the above.

For many nature is far away, a car is unaffordable, and public transportation is non-existent.

It is not at all accurate that all Americans have free time to get outdoors if they simply limit their screen time.

I misread this and expected that link to be a 15 year old HN comment from you to OP. I was impressed how quickly you recalled such an old conversation.

And the author going the other way can sound very odd. In the Brady Bunch there is a scene where one of the kids asks a friend “hey, are you going to the rock concert this weekend?” The friend replies “yes, I can’t wait to see the rock concert, I’m so excited”. They sound like absolute robots.

Man, that YouTube logo... The subtle coloring. The tasteful thickness

Thanks for sharing that. I love the thought you’ve put into it and the transparency you are giving canidates.

Oh, nice! I missed that.

But this is the stroad from Culdesac to the nearest grocery store. Or am I missing something?

> That said, it's pretty dangerous to let your kid go out alone in a state park

This just isn't backed up by the numbers. A 9 year old girl riding a bike on a paved path at a camping site is hardly ever kidnapped or "badly hurt". Telling parents it's "pretty dangerous" to let them do this is not helping.

This is such a good idea. I’m going to sign up!

You’ve got a tiny typo (“age” is listed twice) in your fourth FAQ:

age, software version, file format, age

Does this not work well with 1Password?

Not in the Southeast US...

On "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" this weekend they described Mozilla as "a security research firm". Which, in the context it was given (the Mozilla Foundation report on car privacy) isn't wrong. But it can also be confusing for people / judges who may be thinking "Wait? I thought that was a search engine?"

There was a ton of content at WWDC about using SwiftUI for Apple Vision. Not just for 2D apps, but full 3D immersive apps.

I saw a talk on Power Apps at ATL DEV CON this weekend and was blown away. The only downside is it can only be used internally, with AD M365 logins. It won't work with B2Clogin, and it won't work without authentication.

But, that's the only way I used VB6 - for internal software.

Ah, we've found the account that Cory Doctorow gets his ideas from.

I'm really curious now. I haven't had 2 year olds for a while. Can you try this and see? Surely there is at least enough warping that you'll see a 1mm rise?

For me it was when they stopped the iPhone Mini. I don't want a 6.5" phone. In 4 or 5 years I'll have to update but it works great now.
