Ive gotten starkly different reports between the two, including active rainfall vs not, weather alerts vs zero data. Plus the widget in iOS doesnt actively update and you have to effectively open the weather app or something else to repoll.

Overall loss of the UX that made me love this app, and now I mourne it as another relic of quality lost to the current system of "software growth".

Can you share what you have?

Is there an equivalent jailbreak for the other Oculus devices? I have a CV1 I would love to rehabilitate.

To look at the bigger picture here, this is really the longtail of trust lost in companies due to excessive layoffs and clear consistent messaging that the employee is just a head that can roll when its convenient and cost effective.

The reaction of those 3 employees was my own, and when the culture is so clearly against you, and the company clearly doesnt have more than fluff words (across the org) to retain you, then the net sentiment has shifted strongly away from "trust the employer" to "the employer will screw me the first chance they get".

It seems to read similar to a leveraged buyout. Easier to do things when the company doesnt have to show its books.

Also interesting is that these are market areas that AWS is starting to expand into.

If this is true, I'm just going to delete Triplebyte and all things associated with it. If the practice becomes, "wait until theyve forgotten about it then try again." I dont trust them, and wont again.

Have we become so exhausted by New Battery news that we don't even post the checklist? Where's the beef.

I just add an case using my adblocker (uBlock. Been doing it for a while now. Stackoverflow? clean. Vice? clean. Even instagram's login popup (when you scroll too far), clean.

(haven't read the article/paper yet but...) I wonder how this works compared to the games industry standard using inverse kinematics?

edit: looks like this paper is dedicated to the motion capture side of animations, rather than comparing/blending with procedural generation techniques.

Coming from this direction, especially for deep work, I think the corporate choices of offices have failed so spectacularly that the current Immovable Wall of people who refuse to go off remote is one sign of inevitable fallout from chronic, multi-generational mistreatment. I count myself as one of them.

Having thrown off multiple jobs that tried to reduce me to mindless peon, I find that the attempt to force me into their paradigm is explosive and will only explode more in the future. Via me, or the countless others who see, agree, and comment on this and other threads like it. Revolutions don't have to be noisy :)

This is basically Goodhart's law (quote from Marilyn Strathern's generalization). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law

I personally need to feel the progress on whatever my hobby is at the moment.

Currently, i've been working on a side project for months now, but i remember it took me years to get started. The essence of how i did start was to take a weekend, bang out a basic proof of concept that had occurred to me, then over time add to it, even in small ways. fix a bug here, add a view there, model data this way, etc.

It's less about energy and more about motivation. Some people would say discipline, but if you're exhausted, you're exhausted, and to push harder would only damage your resolve (IMO). It's an emotional energy thing more than physical energy, so in combination with other suggestions on here (like do it in the morning not the evening), take some time (off or the weekend, etc) to get momentum on a hobby or project (dev env setup takes at minimum a day in many cases), and then put in tiny steps or amounts of energy over time.

You'll be surprised how far you can go once you're moving.

Would be nice to have more details on how they constructed their models, and how they captured variance between each model seed. Otherwise this is just fluff, like "cool story bro".

I'm the same way with blocking.

That's good insight, and mostly aligns with my experience. In the past it was mostly js players and similar api calls via scraping/injection, which are more prone to changing their selectors and interfaces.

(for reference, this was as a FOSS maintainer for a project called BeardedSpice which tapped into a bunch of different media sites for background play/pause/next control).

Thanks for this! <3 immediately useful contributions.

I'm curious, how often do you have to update the selectors?

context: I've maintained various website parsers over the years, and it seems to be a constant struggle, depending on the targeted function.

I've taken this approach as well. Every so often I'll want/need something from Prime (like a show season comes out), and I can wait for it to be fully released, sub for a month, then cancel.

Most packages now take about a week to get here, and I've rediscovered the joy of unexpected packages. Like the christmas we didnt have last year.

Also to voice consensus about finding other great online stores. Often they'll have better deals, low or no shipping costs, and it helps that the ecosystem of individual sites has been normalized by companies like Shopify, et al.

Just to emphasize this. Closed the site when I saw oauth only.

... and this is after having a similar idea recently, and being really curious.

Expert to me implies long experience across a variety of challenges. Long-term editors leaving sounds like another challenge, but it doesn't invalidate the expert status.

Most YT videos have transcriptions generated for them, maybe instead of wading through the video itself, you can skim the transcript?

I definitely resonate with the guilt aspect. The emotions stirred by work, in general, have been a struggle for me. Emotional work is one of the most productive ways I've found to mitigate and reduce the effects of diminished motivation (especially from depression and its cousins).

I've talked about it some in the past, re: MKP and other men's support groups along those lines (or just a solid group of friends). Much of it is just recognizing the emotion(s) and putting myself into a place where I can express/vent it properly.

Along those lines actually, has anyone else noticed a boost/burst of energy/productivity/etc after the elections last week? I think thats a malaise that hasnt really been talked about much (yet).

Just a continuation of the cat-in-washing-machine metaphor. Yowl instead of meow, where a real example would be learning how to have a hard, yet productive, conversation with your manager about issues which are or could lead to burnout.

This happened to me multiple times across multiple jobs. The first time, I was laid off with severance--a small mercy.

The second time, I was run into the ground repeatedly as I tried to manage it. That time, I was dropkicked by my manager far over the line, and exited myself.

This last job, I left the moment I felt it happening.

My struggle now is to not make it a reflex, and a huge amount of my personal and life work has gone into improving communication (aka yowling techniques), and drawing lines in work/life/etc balance to sustain myself.

Currently, I'm just avoiding the washing machine entirely.

Not too much, but I've also changed my diet, and been affected by some of the "normal" pandemic body weight changes. I'm winding up to do a water weight shed soon so I'll know better then.

Overall though, no obvious bloating. I'd suggest lower dose. I always swirl it in water and take as a solution. link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DYIZEO/

My personal trainer strongly recommended daily dose of creatine (~5m), but it has also had noticeable effects in daily energy (especially during the pandemic when mostly chair-bound).

Otherwise I suppliment fish oil (or algae), vitamin D (5000 IU/125mg), standard multivitamin, choline (650 mg) since i cant stomach eggs every day.

I've also had good experience with B12 and Vinpocene but not regularly taken.

I'm curious whats your definition of "ready".

I'm doing a similar quasi-local-first project with p2p. Ive been toying with libp2p[1], which underpins a number of distributed storage solutions, and originated from ipfs.

> [1]: https://libp2p.io

I'm in a similar boat. What other similar tools have you found yourself using? For example, Ive been learning the hell out of wget, but I find my tool library lacking or lacking in trust.

I put together this doc (https://awesome-covid-19.github.io/) in response to 2mo of obsessing over the emerging virus and needing to share what I knew in the form of actionable items for the average person (re all my friends and coworkers freaking out on monday).

Its intended to be a kind of emotional preparation as much as physical, and a lot of it is just priming and practicing awareness.

If you see anything thats missing, needs updating/correction,etc please open a PR!

This is more an article about the lack of a solid definition of Data Scientist, than whether to start or stop hiring. Its on par with every business looking for a way to shove "AI" into its marketing messaging.

Much like the article breaks down (and mentioned elsewhere here), Data Scientists end up being Analysts or Engineers, even if the job space wants to be somewhere in between. This ends up being reminiscent and similar to how the title of Fullstack Engineer became synonymous with Front-end React JS developer with a bit of Ruby on Rails.

tl;dr (IMO) for the whole thing: hyped tech and fad roles will run into identity crisises at some point when reaching critical mass.
