They haven’t announced anything like that - they’re just using LiDAR rigs to validate data from their vision based approach, particularly distance. It actually even mentions something about it at the bottom of the article you referenced.

New comment by rjsamson in "Fat-fueled brain: unnatural or advantageous?"

rjsamson — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 17:57:59 +0000

There are some great resources on the keto subreddit (reddit.com/r/keto). I personally had similar issues when I first started keto - several times a week i found i had to be conscious of my electrolyte intake and would supplement with broth and often almond milk (potassium). However 6 months in I've found it's less of an issue, even at lower electrolyte intake, but I'm not sure why. I never found the need to hit the super high recommendations on /r/keto though - I found that 4,000 - 5,000 mg per day was more than enough, and I'd get heart palpitations and muscle cramps generally under 2,500 / day. You'll see a lot of people on /r/keto saying you _have_ to hit 7k+ a day, and people who drink salted water all day - personally, I think that's overkill.

Yup - and it's got a lot of potassium too! Definitely a keto staple for me.

Unsweetened Almond Milk is also an awesome source of both sodium and potassium - a staple for me while doing Keto.

They finally added support for websockets! Really looking forward to giving this a try with Phoenix.

Yup. I've been doing a ketogenic diet the past 6 weeks and it's pretty awesome.

I'm reading Haskell Programming from First Principals right now it's just awesome. I've gone through a couple books on Haskell before this, and it's by far the best. Can't recommend it enough!

Congrats to Nat and Miguel! This seems to make a ton of sense, and unlike other acquisitions by big corps this seems like a great move for both Xamarin and their customers.

New comment by rjsamson in "A Beginner's Guide to Scaling to 11M+ Users on Amazon's AWS"

rjsamson — Tue, 12 Jan 2016 16:08:19 +0000

Curious what you see out there that's higher performance and lower cost than AWS? In my experience it's been a great fit for small apps all the way up to large complicated applications at scale - and once your infrastructure is large enough you're buying reserved instances anyway at anywhere between a 33% and 70% discount.

I don't think that's necessarily true - both Puppet and Chef are Ruby, and you'll often hear Ruby referred to as the "lingua franca" of DevOps.

New comment by rjsamson in "Amazon Aurora Now Available"

rjsamson — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 13:38:48 +0000

So the way Werner Vogels explained it at the AWS Summit in NYC recently, Aurora is built from scratch and is MySQL compatible, but it is not a fork. He mentioned that they broke it down into components which are each built on pre-existing AWS services - for example, the storage layer just DynamoDB which I thought was really interesting.
