19 years did make a difference. Download and installation completed in under 5 minutes. What a joy — everything opens instantly — no lag whatsoever

What a novel way to troll your friends and enemies! Seriously, Shortcuts have been enhanced greatly in iOS 14 and this is going to be great. This is even better as you can create a shortcut to open an app when exiting the same app. Infinite loop alive and well. Lock/unlock immune. Apple please don’t fix. 😈

The dot-com bust happened because there was usually no viable business model and speculators were bidding based on future expectations (delusions). But ultimately it was the central bank which deflated the bubble. We are now dealing with survivors of the bubble. This is not to say that another crash can’t happen (in fact, recent conditions have created an excellent exit opportunity), but rather that there is no further capacity remaining in the system to deal with the potential fallout of such abrupt deflation.

Looks like Streacom changed the design of their DA2 Vertical GPU Kit for the worse.

2019:

2020: streacom.com/products/da2-v… Can’t fathom why they moved the power cable and removed ability to adjust GPU height at will. The 2020 version looks like a big fat compromise. Won’t be ordering.

Zoom Thoughts 1/n: Yes there are institutional bans and individuals might drop it for Facebook Messenger, Houseparty, or plain old FaceTime. But small businesses made America what it is today. If we come out the other end it will be due to these small businesses. 2/n: Take a good look at what sorts of additives, artificial sweeteners and other unholy ingredients your packaged foods contain. The small print that permeates every corner of society. Then think again about whether average folks give two craps about security.

😯 🙂

Porting Life observer to ex_curses for an expected flicker free experience. Update: Having issues with windows 30 rows or higher not refreshing and rendering properly, but only when IEx is using the same TTY.

• The acoustic seal is much worse than I expected. It always feels as if the units were falling out.

• Transparency Mode is painfully loud, no idea where/how it could be useful.

• Sound quality is fine for iTunes.

• Top notch iOS integration. (Continued)

• There are latent bugs in triggering noise cancellation. Sometimes one unit would not activate.

• Active noise cancellation without a good seal means more energy is being dumped into your ears anyway in noisy surroundings. Long term health implications unknown.

Our @spawnfest submission, as presented by the Bodgemasters (@holsee, bgottlob and me) is named Exile.

We chose the name “Exile”, as we would exile anyone who actually built apps this way… @spawnfest @holsee Exile is a Realtime Database-As-A-Service with REST-style resource location and Time Traveling Feature support.

We also demonstrated how it can be easily integrated into existing projects — using Phoenix Channel to drive integration (with subscriptions).

If you have multiple Phoenix apps in an umbrella, make sure to give each app an Endpoint. Phoenix configures and caches many things per Endpoint, such as a list of digested assets.

You can start an Endpoint without Cowboy by omitting the :http and :https options.

(1/2) Creation of a Master Proxy app is way simpler this way as well:

1/ Create an Endpoint, walk all Endpoints’ sockets via __socket__, then plug the Router.

2/ In the Router, walk all Endpoints’ mount paths (which you define) and mount with forward/2.

Righteous solution.
