I'm no chess expert, but I think because at 17... Bxa4 followed by 18... Bxh2, the double bishop sacrifice, it's not obvious how Black will then dominate the rest of the game.


Would you be willing to explain how that comparison makes any sense at all? How is living in a city "too hard" for people in suburban and rural communities?


Here's an earlier tweet of his lamenting what has been taken away from children by the rising dominance of cars in society, a function of suburban living:

The growth of suburbs had plenty of drawbacks. Many people will argue they "need a car", aka the price of entry to modern society is thousands of dollars.

Transport is ~28% of US GHGs. But there's no quick and easy way to rebuild cities to facilitate most people getting to where they need to go quickly and cheaply by transit and walking/biking.

There's lots to say on it, but I'm not a great writer!

Does anyone have some outdoor camera recommendations?

The ones I had were very low resolution, I could hardly recognize myself in video.


I ended up getting these Montavue 4k cameras largely because they have really good low light performance. They are ONVIF and work with blueiris, which is good because their NVR sucks for use on a mobile phone.

The hardware is the same as many other cameras, HIKvision also has this hardware but I couldn't get it working with blueiris or the HIKvision NVR.

The cameras are indeed amazing at low light. I felt like that was a good feature, and maybe that was misguided. But I can be fairly dark out, looking out the window, and the cameras are still in color mode and look like it's daytime. Think: Google Night Vision camera mode.

I wish there were a better mobile experience though, that's the only way we use them. Both blueiris and Montavue apps suck. Ubiquiti has the best in class here, but I've been burned by them too many times now. This replaces a unusable Unifi system.

For remote access to BlueIris.i plan to use ZeroTier.


The Hook Up youtube channel has a number of review videos of different types of cameras in different price ranges with lots of examples.

I'm happy with Amcrest cameras, both for indoor and outdoor use. They have some very affordable 4k options with PoE if that matters to you.


I've come full circle with Amcrest. I work in video surveillance, and over time Amcrest just continue to work. I think of them like the consumer priced Axis. As far as their app, ditch it - they are ONVIF compatible. I'm currently using mine with both a rebranded hikvision NVR and a home brewed NVR I'm coding myself, plus a few RaspberryPIs running VLC in different rooms.


I love their cameras but the app is so abysmal. Whenever I connect over vpn to access the cams remotely it goes effectively into a boot loop. I hate it. I keep reporting the crashes on android but no updates come.


Any app that supports RTSP will work too, you're not stuck on the official app!


How do you power your outdoor cameras? Just drill a hole for a PoE cable?


That's what I do.


M1 macs can run iOS apps natively, so I am guessing that the emulation for iOS development is a whole lot better. Sorry I can't really give you anything more concrete than that.

I would wait until the fall, though, it is likely that there will be a 15+ inch MBP with a new apple chip.


I inherited a flask queue worker, and it suffers from some major problems (like 12 req/second when it's not discarding items from the queue). I am primarily a javascript programmer so I'm a little bit out of my element.

I am tempted to refactor the worker to use async features, and that would require factoring out uWSGI, which is fine, I only added it last week. The article states that Vibora is a drop in replacement for flask, but I guess I'm a bit skeptical, as I can't find much information outside of Vibora having a similar api. For a web service with basically one endpoint, I could refactor to another implementation fairly easily, I'm just looking for the right direction.

I thought maybe I should refactor the arch to either batch requests to the worker, or to use async. Anyone have a feeling where I should go? I am just getting started researching this, but any advice would be appreciated.

Edit: at least quart has a migration page.. probably will just try it out, what can I lose? https://pgjones.gitlab.io/quart/how_to_guides/flask_migratio...

Second edit: Also might try out polyrand's stack in the comments.
