That's exactly what it does, the article states that

> When worn, people could see Morse code-like signals flashed from an infrared LED and tell what direction infrared light came from.

So wearers aren't really resolving an image in infrared, although it does appear to at least be a bit directional.

I truly adore KSP - one of the few games where I'd get so excited about doing something that I'd drag my wife over to marvel at my accomplishment (and subject her to long explanation of why this particular cluster of pixels on a screen should represent an accomplishment).

So I was naturally extremely excited for KSP2, but all-along I had a strong feeling this would happen. What's sad to see is that it's not just a second-system effect of being too ambitious, which was what I was assuming would cause issues, but an even more pathetic failure than that.

The joy I get from games has a really wide variance, and barely any relationship to the actual amount of money I spend on the game. I'd pay $1000 for a truly good KSP2, yet all the games that would actually _let_ me spend $1000 are shallow skins over gambling.

The “just” there sounds polite to me. It apologetically implies that you realise the person probably knows about rsync already but maybe didn’t use it for some requirement not yet discussed, which you’re now asking about so you can give a better answer.

For an anniversary with my wife once I took her on a VR tour of all the photospheres that I'd captured over the years at places like our old apartment or on holidays. Seeing places with strong memories but almost being there felt really meaningful, and she really loved it! So I'll really miss the photo sphere camera :(

Pay for the $1/month version and invert the responses; now you have the $100/month one for cheap :D

I self host it, and I self host both the API and the database.

I've contributed to this repo (and I also self host Calendly) and didn't have to sign anything.

It _is_ a pain to self-host, but unlike claims elsewhere in this thread I do also self-host the API and database.

Sounds similar to a 'jhana' state in Buddhist meditation. My understanding is that there are layers/steps of meditation practice and the higher level ones may allow such states; people can sometimes find themselves temporarilly jumping up a few layers and getting such experiences.

After some articles recently about this on AstralCodexTen I'm reading 'The Mind Illuminated" to try and decide for myself if such "unfalsifiable internal states" exist.

Can you say any company names? I’m an ex-FAANG eng in Sydney currently considering options.

Compared to a visible light wave, the smaller “”faster”” X-rays have more bandwidth/can carry more information for the same band width—so the distinction seems to make a kind of intuitive sense.

You can have an automatically updated playlist of likes using smart playlists. You have to create it one time on desktop, but it’s automatic after that.

I’m an insane person so I listen to all my liked songs on shuffle and ride the wave of tonal inconsistency, so this feature is very important to me…

Hi there, I did the exact same thing as you (at Google Sydney), before eventually deciding that I must strike out into the wilderness.

In the few years since I left; I worked as a solutions architect managing a team, a team lead, a remote dev, and now in a startup. Front-end, back-end, flip-side, all the ends. So I've been deliberately trying different angles of my career to see what suits.

I'd describe this process as grueling, ("challenging" is too friendly). I honestly think I would have been happier staying at Google, farting around, and being social. I agree with a lot of the comments here. However it's a catch-22, because the me that exists now wouldn't choose to go back and overall I think this has been good for me – and not just because of the, er, _character building_ aspect of it.

If you stay at Google, make the most of it by progressing deliberately in your social life. If I'd've stayed, I could have comfortably raised some kids with my wife by now - but that's still on the todo list.

If you leave, just jump right in. I didn't study anything, I just picked it up as I went along. If you were able to follow Steve Yegge's advice and Get That Job At Google, then I'm sure you're a smart cookie and can fake it til you make it.

Basically I'm saying you can be happy either way. If you leave, know what you're getting yourself into. If you stay, don't waste this time but use it on yourself.
