Neat! How did you find out (and when) .codes was going to be released?


Honestly I think I happened to be on godaddy like 12 years ago looking for a domain and saw it was coming soon. And then I stayed up and tried to get a domain haha


This looks super cool! I just tried it out and am having a hard time following the README.

> The blue circle shows your breathing control

What does this mean?

What should I be looking at?

What should I be aiming for with HRV?


The blue circle is your chest expansions and so when it follows the gold circle you’re controlling your breathing well. Good hrv is above 150 ms and is shown as a green band on the bottom graph


Using setups like this is a great way to get into neovim. Over time you'll start tweaking it and then realize you can just read the source code and implement your own version. That's what my journey over the past ~8 months has been, at least.

Here's to hoping we get a nice way to play with containers in neovim. I'm sorely missing devcontainers from vscode.


How did this work exactly? Twilio would answer the call, listen for a number, and "press" 9 if the number was in an allow list?


That's right. And simultaneously send a text like "FedEx opened the gate" or "Doordash failed to open the gate after hours" to my and my wife's phones.


Have you gotten any 'failed' people trying to come in unexpected?


I don't think so. The only time expired codes were used was legit delivery people using outdated codes. Sometimes they would even try multiple old codes. They must have ways of saving old codes that worked once.

Thieves didn't bother with codes, they would just climb over the gate or tailgate someone else.


CDC is slightly different; it depends what type of events you are interested in. This is a pretty good read: https://debezium.io/blog/2020/02/10/event-sourcing-vs-cdc.


Since most people responding here have some sort of technical job, what sort of stuff are you working on? All of the bootcamps I'm aware of focus on web development. Do you still do strictly web stuff? Frontend or backend? Anything else?


Most people here (including myself) will have the same feeling. Would be great if it was open source.


Chrome plugins basically are though? It is just a bunch of HTML/Javascript-files and a manifest.json.


Good point


Will work on open-sourcing it. Need to clean up a few things first but definitely not opposed to that.


Unpack the extension and it effectively is.


I suspect it's still minified and obfuscated, in which case we're basically calling binary data open source.


I definitely did not make any efforts to minify/obfuscate anything and as you can see from other comments the source is quite readily available from unpacking. You can see for yourself it's not doing anything sketchy other than retrieving your albums and photos and storing them locally.


I really want to use VSCode, but the one HUGE thing holding me back is lack of a hot key to show/hide VSCode. I use iTerm and am used to opening/closing it with Ctrl + `. Having to use Cmd + Tab and then making sure I actually choose VSCode and note another application that I was just in really slows me down.


Sounds really orthogonal and something some third party keyboard-driven window management utility can take care.


I tried switching to VSCode earlier this week and am really having a hard time with it. I'm coming from iterm/vim/tmux. The most painful part has been the lack of a hot key to bring up VSCode. Besides that, I've found that switching between open files in vim (which I use <leader> and buffer number for) is much easier than VSCode (ctrl + number).

edit: Just opened VSCode again and noticed one other major thing that has been driving me crazy. In vim I often have files open in different panes and then make one pane full size while editing. Can't do that with splits in VSCode as far as I know.


Exactly. When I was in high school, two other classmates and I would go to our English teacher's class during homeroom for SAT prep. We did this for 10 minutes a day for maybe a month. Outside of that, the only prep I did was studying for the SAT IIs the night before.

I did well in high school only studying on the train into school on the days of exams. That formula worked for me, and I figured everybody else did something similar. I knew I had to "study" for the SAT if I wanted to better than average, and practicing vocabulary during homeroom seemed like more than what everybody else was doing.

I happened to get into a good college and really struggled the first year. I studied harder than usual, but it wasn't until I started studying with some friends that I saw how much more work other people put into school.


it's a common story. i slacked and crammed my way through most of high school and rode into university on super high SAT scores (because i studied a lot and took classes).

once i got there, it wasn't easy. mainly because i didn't really care about school, and refused to put in the time. apparently cramming doesn't work for linear algebra unless you are a genius, which i'm not.
