Re: Didn’t get the ‘2021 Heart Month Challenge’ Apple Watch achievement? Here’s how to fix it

Geoffrey Wiseman — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 13:26:25 -0000

Rebooting didn’t fix anything for me, but the next day there it was. AppleSupport says it can take up to 9d which seems like ages.

Re: Adding search to your static JAMStack site

All the right information is here, but IMO (and obviously YMMV), it would be better to lead with the Spring Actuator information. If you want to get this information, using Spring Actuator is both easy and likely the better way for most people. Once you've pointed people to that, it's still valuable to continue with all the rest of the information to (a) show how Spring Actuator gets the information it displays and (b) show people who don't want to use Actuator or who want something custom how to replace it.

Re: “The % of the world population that owns cryptographic tokens will exceed the % of the world that owns public market stocks by April 23, 2023”

What measurement will you use to decide the bet -- as in, what source will you use to decide each percentage?

Re: How to get PyPI download statistics

Geoffrey Wiseman — Mon, 16 Apr 2018 23:37:45 -0000

Maybe, although it happens every time for these links for me, not occasionally. The network tab doesn't give me a lot of insight; there's a lot of queries, a bunch of them to accounts.google.com -- maybe some kind of auth issue? Have you tried these links on a browser you're not signed into Google on?

There's one 204 No Content, but it looks like this might be already after the error has occurred, although I don't have enough insight into the inner workings of BigQuery's UI to really feel confident in diagnosing.

Same.

Re: How to deploy encrypted copies of your SSL keys and other files with Ansible and OpenSSL

Geoffrey Wiseman — Tue, 14 Mar 2017 11:32:01 -0000

FWIW, Ansible copy module supports decrypting now, works great. In case someone runs across this discussion later, as I did, it's useful to know that you don't need to go down this path.

Re: Meet: Hours Time Tracking

Hours is pretty cool -- I wanted this integration, earlier. I've moved on to Toggl, so I'll vote for a Toggl integration now. ;)

Re: Federal open data audit: Defense downright dismal, Interior immense yet imperfect

FWIW, The FeedRoom used to be an online video service provider, one of whose clients was The Pentagon, before they were acquired by KIT Digital, which was renamed to Piksel.

I live in the area. There's no way twelve trucks could get anywhere near a single house on Redwood. It's hard to imagine 45 men, but the 12 trucks figure seems pretty silly to me.

Then again, I don't know the logic behind fire dispatch.

Re: Then and Now for August 29.

The school there now looks quiet different than what I can see of the building behind the newsagent's hut. Is it the same building, modified, or an entirely new one?

Re: Algorithmic Regulation Spreading Across Government?

Geoffrey Wiseman — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:43:25 -0000

Do they factor in time-of-day at all? I know lots of areas where parking at some times of day is impossible to find but at other times of day, it's fairly empty. Would be nice to encourage people to visit the area when parking's easy by reducing prices while still charging appropriate to high demand at high-demand parts of the day.

Apparently not free in Canada.

Re: A call to iOS Twitter client developers!

Geoffrey Wiseman — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 22:32:22 -0000

Well, a single scheme/protocol won't work (at least until iOS itself allows you to configure this -- I guess that's what you're suggesting?), but I was thinking earlier today that a single "twitter" share button could link to one of many clients simply by allowing the user to pick the client in the preferences and choosing the appropriate scheme under the covers.

Re: Protecting My Digital Photos, Movies, and Backups using the QNAP TS-419P+ Turbo NAS.

I think I'm waiting for Thunderbolt to become more popular before I look at anything like new NAS.

You're on the $49/mo plan?

Yes, the JSR300 reference is confusing. I'm not even sure which JSR was intended to be referenced, but DRM for JavaME seems unlikely. ;)

Re: The AppleTV is an Anomaly

Geoffrey Wiseman — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:05:19 -0000

The Mac Mini with Plex is still a good solution in this space, but, yes, I agree, the Apple TV isn't the right solution for my needs either.

Re: What’s Most Important to YOU as a Candidate?

Geoffrey Wiseman — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 14:44:40 -0000

Sadly, most job postings don't even really try. So rather than think about what a job posting should strive for, I'm content to set the bar low, and talk about the things that most job postings should contain as much of as they can:

The App Store is available outside of the US, although certainly the fact that it's geofenced is a problem for people in many parts of the world.

Handbrake is a good choice, yes.

There are sync options for Linux (e.g. http://everydaylht.com/howt..., but I agree, connecting a Linux computer to an Apple device (iPhone/iPad/iPod) is painful.

Re: Droid Does Maven, Android Does

Geoffrey Wiseman — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 15:22:08 -0000

That's because it's marketing for that particular device/series (Droid, Droid X, Droid Eris). For a while, it looked like it would be the umbrella for all Verizon Android phones, but since the latest Motoblur phone seems to just be 'Devour', that's no longer certain.

San Francisco's a nice place to visit, and a good place to work for someone with your background. You'll have a blast; good luck!

Re: Corded Innovations

Geoffrey Wiseman — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 12:20:34 -0000

A lot of the market is obsessed with reasonable quality, cheapest price. Still, some of the vendors and models should still be innovating with cords. Dell uses a little pin in theirs that is prone to breaking.

I'm not, but it's a good idea. I'm certainly ok with removing any video that anyone's not happy with, but clearing it in advance is better, I'd agree. I haven't witnessed a demo for me to imagine that the presenter would want it removed, but YMMV, and certainly it's in the spirit of DemoCamp to encourage demos that might not be perfectly polished.
