It's been a lifesaver in that regard, and I think we would be a bit sunk without it.
In my opinion it's great. Often times our coworkers are people we're forced to socialize with because we don't really have a choice. Working from home brings that choice back, but it does mean that there's some groundwork to lay down.
Gitlab CI has been the opposite of other experiences I've had with well over 10k jobs completed across different projects with diverse needs. Even for small hobby projects it's been great for me, it's nice to easily be able to push updates without having to worry about it. Makes it much easier to iterate and test things out!
Ostensibly both Uber and Lyft are doing the same thing, but with the item that will bring the marginal cost down being self-driving cars. They've both bet big in order to capture the market, because it's likely that whoever owns the market before that transition will own it afterwards as well.
It does seem like there was probably more optimism that the technology would materialize sooner than it really has, but assuming it materializes some time in the near future it's likely that whatever company manages to hold onto the market until then will reap massive rewards.
It's clearly a risky bet, but at least from my view doesn't seem like a pump and dump type of scheme.
Even the first generation Ryzen CPUs are amazing for multitasking and general computing workloads. Zen 2 is quite a bit further beyond that, and is priced highly competitively. That's something that can translate into increased productivity along with savings, but it's going to take some time before OEMs are really ready to take the plunge rather than just dipping their toes in.
This is a different situation, and it's sadly Orwellian.
I'm sure the designs will change, as will the motivations for getting them. Beyond that, this technology would be difficult to differentiate from a traditional tattoo whereas henna and temporary tattoos are visibly different.
On the other hand, a beautiful part of this art form is that it is basically permanent. To my mind, a tattoo loses a lot of its value of it's only temporary.
This group has been doing a number of studies on psychedelics and this is not their first rodeo.
You can see some of their previous research here https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267512525_Homologic... (PDF) which talks about the brain under the effects of Psilocin, which is the active chemical which comes from Psilocybin Mushrooms.
It's a fascinating area of research, and I've found it surprising how few drugs are actually examined in this manner. The lack of rigor that goes into the law with regard to drugs is deplorable.
Nonetheless, I imagine we're going to see more projects like this coming out. It's going to be great to see what people can do when they can effectively use CSS to push high framerates. It's awesome that we'll be able to easily achieve 60+ FPS animation in the browser with ease.
Awesome to see Rethink continue to mature quickly and nicely.
At the moment, we're still in feature development with the product, and Firefox is in the middle of changing its extension platform, so we're trying to get the right timing with porting things over. We should have it soon though!
Just wanted to jump in here and say that me and my business partner are making a bookmarking app that falls in squarely in the visual and private corner of all these apps if you look at the article.
It's called Linkship and you can check it out at https://www.getlinkship.com
It's in the very early stages of development, and we're in the process of adding a whole slew of useful features. Would love for anyone to try it out and give us feedback. We're only two people, but we're working hard to do this right :D
I've used it in production in a few scenarios and it's worked just fine. They're fairly complex applications and performance hasn't been an issue. Granted, with the author trashing Angular and then talking about how awesome their React article is going to be I think we can all see where this is heading.
Baidu isn't a very effective search engine and there are tons of people trying to get their mitts on user data including the government themselves.
That being said, both my current doctor and dentist were chosen partially on the basis of Yelp reviews. It's been a huge help, far nicer and far better service than I've ever had previously.
For Amazon, getting faster and more convenient delivery might be worth the cost. It helps them in their fight against brick and mortar retailers, and if they're careful about it they could probably leverage a limited physical presence pretty well.
We're implementing real time features in our product in the next couple of months so this could not have come at a better time.
