Curiously, I noticed people here mention that camera on older iPhones is taking ages to open. I'm on iPhone7, battery never replaced ("battery health: significantly degraded" as reported by iOS), so goes from 100% to 10% in about 12 hrs with "normal" use. However, camera opens just fine.
> The back and forth arguments would take weeks... you post, some responds the next day, you respond the third day. Not good.
Is it really not good?.. Now just thinking about what you said reminded me good old FidoNET days. You’d get mail once a day (typically), read/respond and that’s it, done for the day, on to do some work. Procrastination problem solved :)
not OP, but one of the tricks is to activate the sensors only when measuring, so there's no constant DC applied to the sensor wires/pads. once you have that, reduce measurement frequency, so to mainimise the time when voltage is applied to the sensors. for example once every hour for moisture is sufficient, and 1/sec isn't really going to help much.
Look at it from a different perspective - you're sending a message "I'm on vacation, but I've found few minutes and I'm checking in to help". Other team members now may feel obliged to do the same, because, well, we are social animals and try to blend in to a group by behaving similarly. Give it a year or two and suddenly the line between vacation and work is not so clear to anyone anymore.
If you don't have anything to do, is it really that work is the only thing you can occupy yourself with while you're on vacation?
so what do you call 3 hours a day when you're forced to sit/stand in a carriage? sure, I can find activities to occupy myself, read a book, listen to podcast, etc, but this is not by choice. I'd rather go for a run. So if I cannot do what I want during the time, then the time for me is lost. And don't even get started on "learning new skills" while on a train. Studying requires concentration, at least for me, so no, I cannot learn new language while standing under someones armpit.
Do you have any recommendations what cameras to use? Rather simple set of requirements, but I really struggle to find anything suitable: compatible with zoneminder/motioneye, poe, no cloud nonsense, outdoor weatherproof, preferably non-chinese, reasonably priced. Don't need NVR. Was eyeing hikvision, but there seems to be mixed feelings about them.
I guess the hardest bit is finding the line between stubbornly pushing dead idea forward vs "wouldn't it be cool if <...your idea...>, neah, that won't work" and you never even try.
...or colleagues. it's quite easy to start thinking that if you enjoy what you do so much so that you stay up late, then everyone else should feel and do the same.
> combined with ChatGPT we could even make those automatic getting-back-in-touch messages indistinguishable from the manual ones
extending this bit further - we might as well reply with chatGPT. then it's chatGPT all the way down, who needs human interaction when we tick the boxes of "I called them" and "I replied"?.. :)
I wonder how long before this question starts popping up in interviews with immediate reject if one does not come up with magic-xor solution in 5 minutes on the whiteboard.
EDIT: neat solution nonetheless!!
I guess it depends. When you're talking to a person directly, most likely your ears aren't blocked. So you get the feedback of your voice levels, and adjust accordingly. This is really difficult to do when you have earphones in, blocking everything. Usually people with both earphones in tend to raise their voices nearly to a shouting level. I don't know if OP does that or not though.
I'm in UK (so until not that long ago, EU :) ). Don't need credit cards for the "credit" part, but I'm exclusively using them for online (or any) shopping, purely for the safety reasons mentioned. As far as I can see, there's no downsides as long as you're paying it all off every month.
Is it not possible to dispute and chargeback via credit card provider? My strategy of giving three attempts to get a refund as per their procedures, then warning about dispute, then eventually issuing a chargeback worked quite fine so far across multiple vendors. It rarely goes as far as the actual chargeback, typically the warning is sufficient.
I disagree. If we're talking about distributed systems, then one thing is guaranteed - network is not going to be reliable. And if we have 10's or 100's of services, this policy means that at the smallest blip the whole thing collapses like a house of cards. If the concern is "it's hard to troubleshoot", well then perhaps implement better logging ("connectivity to service X has been unreliable with X% failure rate over the last Xhrs" instead of "connection terminated", or no logging at all).
And while we're at it, I think saving two chars isn't going to do much to prevent global warming, and let's just use more readable SERVICE_{KEY} and SERVICE_PUB_{KEY} (as opposed to having scratch your head thinking "did I call it SRV, SVC, SRVC, SRVCE, ...?")
Can you please give a concrete example of what Apple should do, in your opinion, to expand their API targets? And how is that related to web standards complexity?
One problem I have with catchall is passing my emailadresses between "rings of trust". Example: say I have an email for close friends and family: me@example.com. Everywhere else I use spam<random_number>@example.com. All's well, until some well wishing family member decides to give me a gift in a form of subscription, or something like that, and uses my email they know: me@example.com. And just like that the whole carefully built house of card collapses.
> With the looming water crisis ahead, every drop of savings is a plus.
Agreed.
What's worrying though is the amount of water wasted in the delivery network. Really annoying when people trying to save a litre here or there and then millions are just going straight in to the ground.

> Every day we supply 2.6 billion litres of water, but not all of that gets to our customers. At the moment, we leak almost 24% of the water we supply.
you'd be surprised... I've had "it has come to my attention that you ran 'rm /var/log/some_random_log' when you should have enquired regarding the importance of said 'some_random_log'" instead of "wtf did you just remove some_random_log, you nut" in the past.
