I can't recycle pizza boxes? Our recycling bins are mixed anyway (glass, paper, plastics, aluminium). Why "discard the batch"? Aren't they already sorting them?

Exactly. Sometimes I realize my plan is no good. It takes a lot of clicking to start over.

This is great! I've been reading up on low level logic during long builds at work. Any chance you could add a clear all button?

Agreed. I've tried several times to use google maps with bluetooth headphones on my bike in London. Unlike in the states, the roads are never straight for very long and there are lots of roundabouts. If you take a wrong exit, it will recalculate a new path, but without seeing the screen you don't know you messed up. I found myself wanting positive and negative feedback via audio. "Take the third exit at the round about." "Good job" or "Turned to soon. Recalculating"

I recently watched a video of Kevin Horton discussing creation of the Super NT, SNES on an FPGA. He mentions doing the same for the N64 would be extremely difficult. It's not gonna change the world, but it would be a fun challenge to throw some resources at.

That's great! You could secretly give some teams the same idea and compare approaches and results afterward.

I'm a huge fan of the series of Ultimate talks from C3 conferences.

Someone didn't check their work before pushing to production.

"The video below demonstrates an attacker remotely launching the Windows calculator app on a fully patched version of Windows 10." So devious!

"This is Water", a commencement speech by David Foster Wallace. Whenever I'm overwhelmed with life, stressed about work or relationships or whatever, I read this. I keep it in the kindle app on my phone specifically for that purpose. https://www.docdroid.net/n9UgjO3/this-is-water.pdf

‘We have no idea whatsoever what we are doing,’ seems like a poor choice of words to ease concerns about the delay.

I played it on a NEC 286! Learned a lot about engines playing it.

I've found the key to being an effective tech lead is to look at the team as an extension of yourself. As a senior engineer there is only so much you can do. Given the right team, you can do much more. This requires you do the planning and specifications, and occasionally pick off the difficult task. However, you must balance your engineering time against the productivity of the team.

My number one goal as a lead is always for my team to come in and work without interruption. Everything they need to complete a task should be in the task management software. This is what I want as a dev, and so is what I aim to provide for my devs. This doesn't mean writing all the specs myself. Give the devs enough info to write their own tasks and review them before they start. This is manageable up to about 6 people. If you have a bigger team, then you need sub-leads to spread the load.

There should be a write protect for the EDID on displays. A display I was working with didn't have the write protect enabled and my Nvidia graphics card decided to overwrite the EDID for me. Had to reprogram it before my PC would recognize the display again.

The news video in the original post also says bicyclist. Speed limit goes up to 45 mph just before the bridge.

Still paywalled. Forwards to same url.

It has a ton of listings! Maybe they were updating it earlier. https://www.magicleap.com/careers

This approach makes a lot of sense. Where people really need help is bike sizing and fitting. What size bike do I order? How do I adjust it to fit me? Bike manufacturers will list a height range for each frame size on their website. You will need to adjust things differently if you are on the upper or lower end of that range.

The other model I've seen work locally is demoing high end bikes. Specifically mountain bikes. The local shop has a weekly mountain bike ride where you can try out several bikes. This is probably worth the effort if they sell a couple extra bikes a week. The mountain bikes they demo range from $3-6k. This shop has bikes on the show floor, but could easily switch to demo only.

It is an American bank thing. When I use my American Visa card in the UK, I still get asked to sign. They end up not having a pen because locals never need to sign. I started using apple pay to avoid this. Contactless payment is much more popular in Europe.
