RobotCaleb··on Show HN: You Need Less Caffeine Than You Think
Hot take: if you ever started again you never quit. Maybe you gave it up, but not quit.

I am interested in a setup that looks kind of like this: myself and another person streaming from our own remote locations. Viewers can switch between which of the streams they want to view (or choosing both at the same time!) while listening one or the other of the audio streams.

Maybe tone it down a bit and be nicer? Even if they have a poor education, why would you publicly shame them for it?

RobotCaleb··on Chasing Rainbows: Designing for Colorblindness
Never rely on color alone to signify important data

The rule of thumb for this sort of thing is to never rely on color alone to convey important information. Shapes and patterns and textures are much preferable to simple color variations.

RobotCaleb··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2022)
Flagship Biosciences | Broomfield, Colorado | Software Engineer II | _US_ Remote/Onsite | C++/OpenGL | $90k-$120k

Flagship Biosciences is looking for a Software Engineer II. We are based in Broomfield, Colorado but our development teams are remote. This role will be responsible for maintaining existing infrastructure technologies as well as designing and building new utilities and applications.

The existing technology leverages the GPU and HPC resources to provide access to scanned microscope slide data in support of our Imaging Science team's analysis packages. As we advance more into the clinical space our existing technology needs to be maintained while we build the clinical infrastructure.

As owning and maintaining existing our existing libraries and tools in C++ using OpenGL, a solid background in these technologies is desired.

If interested please see the listing[0] for more information. Also feel free to email me directly at canderson@flagshipbio.com. I am the hiring manager and I am able to provide more details on what this role entails.

Maybe they were trying to explain object permanence to you? How do they know you know it already?
RobotCaleb··on Skateboard Logos
Maybe, but I think there's a bit of it that is either new writers thinking that's how you write or just adding words so they have enough to satisfy the person in charge of determining whether it's long enough to draw ad money.

It's funny that you say nobody writes like that when this is a very very common thing that I encounter all over the internet. It's just throw away writing intended to occupy the page so that they have some reason for you to come view their ads.

Flagship Biosciences | Broomfield, Colorado | Image Analysis Engineer | US Remote/Onsite | C++ | $98k-$118k

Flagship Biosciences is looking for an Image Analysis Engineer on our Imaging Science team. This role will be directly responsible for maintaining existing image analysis functionality in our current production toolbox as well as advancing that suite and developing new functionality. We are based in Broomfield, Colorado but our development teams are remote. This role has close interaction with many teams that are in-office and would likely benefit from an in-person presence.

The existing toolbox relies on traditional image analysis algorithms as well as ML to generate scores for pathology review in support of pharmaceutical trials. As we advance more into the clinical space, this role will be critical in developing robust diagnostic algorithms to directly help patients.

As owning and maintaining existing solutions will be a large focus of this role, a solid background in C++ and image processing and analysis techniques are being heavily selected for.

If interested please see https://flagshipbio.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=79 for more information. Also feel free to email me directly at canderson@flagshipbio.com. I'm not the hiring manager but my team works very closely with this role and I am able to provide more details on what this role entails.

Easiest today would be to use the project this project uses. I don't think it existed at the time I was trying, though. And, yes, that would be easier, but not in the vein of "doing it myself" that I was aiming for. :D

RobotCaleb··on Introducing the new star-history.com – the missing GitHub star history graph
Tangential: I know there are people who collect stars on their projects and use them as badges of pride and perhaps put them on their resumes. I've never quite understood this. I never look at how many stars a project has and I have never starred a project as far as I am aware.

What am I missing?

RobotCaleb··on I built a system that takes pictures of all the airplanes that fly over my house
About 5 years ago I started trying to build this exact thing. I wrote some code, printed some gears and attached them to servos, assembled some hall effect sensors onto the whole thing, and then stopped. I had a camera that I could command to an azimuth and an elevation. I think it was a PlayStation3 pseye camera. It certainly would not have been able to zoom in to the point that this one seems to be able to. I was going to use my RTL SDR to listen to the ADSB and mount the whole thing on my roof under a clear plastic dome.
