Move from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake?

I've had 2GB+, 4h long videos labeled in CVAT. What problems did you run into? Can you annotate at a reduced FPS?

This is my observation across several companies/teams. The options seem to be either sacrifice "real work" time to make a good presentation or make a half-ass presentation and have people criticize the low quality.

Do people here think "no prep" presentations could work? Where it's agreed that nobody will do any prep but simply talk about something they're knowledgeable about? Or share their screen and walk through their current project? Everyone in the audience knows that the presenter wasn't "allowed" to prepare so the expectations are lower, but people still get exposed to other engineers' work.

Interesting concept. I imagine web pages which behave like a shared Google doc.

It is literally a play from their book, Rework. See the essay "Pick a fight."

My thoughts:

* Some teams do this already with git data...but if it's free as part of a team's development platform then maybe the less sophisticated managers who don't know how to interpret the data will misuse it?

* If the editor is heavily instrumented then even more granular "productivity" metrics could be extracted, like time spent with the tab active, etc. which aren't available with a vanilla install of other editors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ever tried YouCompleteMe? I love it for Ruby, Python, JavaScript.

A barbell, plates, squat stands...so I can get in a decent workout whenever I want without driving to or waiting for equipment at a gym.

Oaxaca link appears to be broken...it links to the Taiwan post.

Great write-ups, btw.

The Facebook login flow requests permission to access your "photos". Does anybody know what that entails? Can they freely query your photos edge on the FB API?

If you have the time/resources, show those users a message urging them to upgrade and provide links to newer versions. Then monitor traffic levels to see if usage declines to an acceptable level. Depending on the volume of remaining traffic you get, you may be able to contact those users and figure out why they haven't upgraded.

Apply for Data Engineer positions?

Outsource some/all of it to freelancers on Upwork so they can make progress while you sleep, work a day job, etc.

I recently used a Google Sheet with company name, date applied, status, action items, a link to the job description, etc. If I applied with a custom resume I add that to the same Google Drive folder with the appropriate name. Add color to the status column to make it a bit easier to scan. Move rejections to a new tab and keep post-mortem notes if you have any after phone screens/interviews (so you can study what you messed up on). It got the job done.

Sometimes I'll get up really early and put in a quality hour or two at a coffee shop before starting my 9-5.

Here's what I try to do:

- Outsource chores or tasks I hate doing (like shopping and laundry).

- Optimize for free time where I have no obligations...I find that very pleasant.

- Say yes to things I've never tried before...if I hate it I'll say no the next time but I'll forever be able to tell people I tried X. This also makes conversations with strangers and acquaintances easier because I've tried a lot of stuff and can contribute to more conversations.

- Travel with friends. This can be hard to coordinate but is incredibly fun.

- Treat myself on occasion. I try to minimize the "stuff" I own but I just bought a nice pair of shoes that I've been looking at for a while and they make me happy every time I wear them.

- Only use social media for staying connected instead of entertainment. If I want to send a message to someone specific or look at pictures of my nephew, I'll log into Facebook. But as soon as I find myself scrolling through any sort of "feed" I pinch myself and log out...it's 95% bullshit I don't care about and 100% stuff I don't NEED to see right now anyway.

Same here.

Any suggestions for getting graphs on a TV in the office? I usually have monitoring tools like New Relic open in my browser but I'd like to have these aggregated on a wall mounted TV for the team to look at together.

Neil Patel was one of the founders of Kissmetrics, so at least it's not like they sold off the domain to some random person.

One tool I use is Mouseflow, primarily for session playback. It's super helpful to see how users are interacting with the app, qualitatively, and has helped me find bugs and UX issues that never made it into the error logs.
