Tangent maybe. But when I used Dark Sky, I and everyone who asked me about the weather and I'd give them data from Dark Sky were always impressed by my accuracy for knowing when it would rain and stop raining. Now I use Carrot with the AccuWeather(sp) api, and it'll be pouring right on top of me, and Carrot tells me "no rain for the hour". Is this just weather getting harder and harder to predict, or is AccuWeather trash, or anyone else find something that seems as accurate as Dark Sky was?
I find the same issues with Apple's weather app. And even Windy's notifications. The only helpful thing is an actual heatmap visualization of rain. That always gives you a lot more context and a better understanding of what's happening and for how long. I actually really love Apple's rain heatmap
One of the many reasons I pay for Carrot is to get the other, more expensive, data sources. If you do stump up, you get access to the Apple Weather API--what once was Dark Sky--as well as Foreca. I've found both of them to be very accurate based on what Carrot reports.
(For what it's worth, I never used the Dark Sky app directly. I've always consumed it via Carrot or a free API key that Dark Sky used to give out for individual developers.)
Many times it would say something like Rain stopping in 10 minutes. Then 8 minutes later… Rain stopping in 15 minutes. On and on as it steadily rained.
My former coworker was insufferable about Dark Sky being accurate but I never found that to be the case. Same with his insistence I use Waze to go through random parking lots, only to find our cowokers beat us back from lunch using a sane route but I am digressing.
Where I am big thunderstorms are very common and it can be dry a quarter mile away. It’s a good indicator but I never found Dark Sky, Accuwhatever, or Apple Weather to be accurate with the rain forecast.
There's some thought provoking bits on app growth and users in that feed. Just wish more of this was in a centrally, easily digestible place. And I'm surprised there isn't more of it somewhere.
Talking to yourself by Name or in second person like you are talking to a friend seems to have a positive way of changing your perspective and allowing you to regulate your emotions and deal with something more rationally.
Same. I recently got one of these wirecutter book lights: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/glocusent-reading... Does an amber color for bedtime reading, and now I' tearing through books again. It's so much easier to skim, skip, re-find something (yes, even without fancy search) and I just find myself reading faster with real books again. It's rekindled :) a love of books again I feel like I lost somehow only doing it on e-readers.
While we're on the subject: I still can't solve this and thought you'd either laugh or you are the only people who know what I'm going through :)
I have some fancy Asus Mesh wifi routers at home. I sit next to the cable modem and one mesh endpoint. My wife sits upstairs. there's an upstairs mesh endpoint but I think neither of us are usually connected to it (mostly serves to extend our connection to go to yard). But when my wife gets up from her desk and walks through our hallway (closer to the non often used mesh endpoint) our internet drops for a bit. My only guess is that the endpoints get mad at meat being in between their back haul? Anyone deal with this and figure out the solution?
Actually, if you take a peak in to the wifi logs on the asus mesh node, you might see that it freaks out and restarts the wifi service. There's a tail mode that is pretty nice.
Restore to the default settings, make sure you have updated the firmware, and cross your fingers.
Strange as it may seem, try turning the power on each endpoint down. You may be getting signal from too many APs in the same place making the mesh elector freak out.
I think my chair does this, but only when I'm not sitting in it. Maybe my body absorbs the ESD? If I'm doing anything nearby and bump the chair there's a good chance my monitor will lose signal for a second. It happens with both HDMI and Displayport with a number of different GPUs and different computers. The USB-C connection has never had a problem.
I'm in an older home with questionable wiring which I'm sure is also a factor.
Definitely people can absorb enough RF to block WiFi.
I hit this in a hotel, back when I was doing steampunk conventions. Antique Teletype machines put into brass and glass cases, getting text messages over the Internet. (Early versions of this used Google Voice to read SMS; later versions used Twilio.) The hotel lobby had WiFi, but the function room we were in did not. I'd tested in advance, and was able to get a good WiFi connection with the room empty. But once it filled up with people, we couldn't get through. Had to run out to Fry's and buy a WiFi booster.
