One important step I've found helpful is asking if the candidate would like to receive feedback before sharing. This should also curb the risk of litigation.


The biggest problem with GraphQL in this regard is that it is a single endpoint. API gateways often define authorization rules, throttling rates, and caching times differently for each route. Consequently, you may need to write authorization, throttling, and caching logic in a separate layer or perhaps even in your microservices themselves.


I wonder if the bezel allows for a normal square display underneath?


It should fit. Here's a fast and dirty mockup: https://i.imgur.com/eC1Yjgi.png


Internal Pebble developer on their Slack said it's a round LCD under the bezel, not a masked-off square one.


The Nest thermostat also had a square screen under a cover that makes it look round. (Not sure if newer Nest models actually have circle screens.)


i believe the new third gen that was just released a couple weeks ago is the first Nest to actually use a round screen.



That was my first thought. The bezel definitely looks nearly exactly the right size for that.


> Pebble produced a decent product relatively on time

Their branding is great. Now whenever i see "time", it reminds me of the watch...


FWIW, I currently get two-factor auth codes on my band just because it shows text messages out of the box.


That's more convenient than unlocking my phone to get the code when I miss the brief notification. My plan though, is to port my PIN grid proof of concept to the band.

Going to have to give UI some serious thought, but looking forward to making it happen.


Some 2fa implementations need you to use an app to generate a token code rather than texting you a code.


SMS is not a very secure channel for that second factor. Better than nothing, but cellular has all kinds of security problems.


Haha. I also attempted this one and failed.


Have you seen pictures of what drone props can do to skin? Even the handheld drones draw blood easily. The $500 phantoms can cause damage requiring stitches... Not sure a baseball is the best analogy.


Baseballs are safe in their most common state, but can quite easily send you to the ER.

"Hey, how about we have a game where we have one teenager fire a fast moving projectile through a space occupied by other teenagers?"

"Doesn't sound fun! Let's tell the other teenagers to get in the way of the fast moving projectile."


The drone lacerations may be a flashier image for a photograph, but baseball injuries are nothing to dismiss. Also note that all of the drone injury pictures I have seen are from the drone owner accidentally throttling up while holding the drone, which is an incredibly easily avoidable mistake.


In a cursory glance, this appears to be logic (token, redis, etc) that can be handled by Nginx+Lua. Is there any reason to do it this way vs the other?


The intent was to demonstrate how to write a module in C. This can be solved with Lua as well.


I was hoping for a performance related answer, but you are right. I might walk through this and see if one way is faster than the other. Thanks!


Using Lua is much easier. Performance is unlikely to be a bottleneck. Developing a module is a real pain and a last resort.


Using Lua is certainly easier. The C version will almost always be faster, and yes, performance in this scenario probably wouldn't be an issue between the two. The other reason for writing a module in C though is complete control over the execution and an easier time troubleshooting problems. Adding another language layer can present issues when things explode.


Being an attendee from last year, I can guarantee you that it's people still filing in to find seats well into the presentation. The exit is towards the back left of where the camera is. People going to the right are looking for seats. It's still not an attractive angle.


I do agree that it isn't the best idea, but I find name-calling the worst way to support an argument.


Stupid people make me testy.


Funny you should say that, that's my family motto: "Qui stupidi sunt, ut strenuus me".

That he thinks it is ok to cut through residential neighbourhoods because the freeway is backed up is more than stupid, really. It is dangerous and unfair. I was going to say that, given the apologetics around this strategy, that he's being a little tongue-in-cheek. But when he opened with "the really painful part of being stuck in traffic is not, really, the actual amount of time that it takes to get from Point A to Point B" it was pretty clear that we were going to be looking for wisdom and intelligence from other sources.
