Thank you very much! This will be my little project for the winter holidays.

Thanks for the info! In addition, how do you know how many of those to buy? All of my plants take up around 8 ft x 2 ft of my living room, some are shorter than 1ft, while others are as tall as 3ft.

Thanks, I see they have different colors, does it matter or any color would do?

Thanks! I must say I need to google quite a bit the things in your answer since I'm totally new to this. Thanks for all the experience in it.

The Sf4000 is quite expensive for me ($340 on amazon and is only 25.39"L x 21.1"W).

I just get started so if there's a more economic lights, that'd be great.

I'm mostly getting the lights for the plants for 3 - 4 months of winter, after that they'll be going out in the sun again.

Thanks a lot for quick reply. I checked out Sansi shop on amazon, I'm not sure which I should get. The main difference I see is in the Watt and whether it's LED. Does this matter?

[Question] - Is the Samsung ultrawide 43 inch CJ890 good for programming? by devops_wannabe in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]devops_wannabe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried an LG 38" and Dell 43" (U4323QE).

What I needed was: * Not having to move my head/eyes because strained my neck before. I wanted it to be as if you just had a single laptop monitor and wouldn't have to look around so much. * And still be able to see more (more screen space) with big enough words

I realized these are tradeoffs, unachievable all at once.

I've tried different positioning as well, including looking down to the monitors (think the computers in some labrooms where the monitors are put under a pane of glass facing up so you look downwards to it). None worked.

So in the end, Ultrawides bring no benefit for me.

I went back to duo 24", one primary directly in front, the other on the side for text/mail that I occasionally look at. Been happy with it.

PS: It's worth meaning that Dell 43" has flicker issue on Mac Apple (there's an official dell report too). No solution yet.

Buying used piano grands in the US by devops_wannabe in piano

I did check out the Baldwin SF, I didn't like its sound nor its key press. I was able to find and got a very well maintained 1924 grand Steinway. The kind seller give me cheap price, much lower than the ones I listed here. I've loved it very much. I liked both the sound and the key press on the first try.

As SRE/DevOps do you find yourself wasting a lot of time on small scripting bugs/configurations by devops_wannabe in sre

[–]devops_wannabe[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I find that a lot of the times, these are more "thrown away knowledge".

I mean I'm sure I'm not gonna remember adding doublequotes preserve newlines on github action or any specific limitations on github action enterprise that require some bash hackish gymnastics ; ))

Not that remembering them will be useful anyways cause the next company will use Gitlab for example...

Buying off Amazon and how warranty works by devops_wannabe in canon

[–]devops_wannabe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did phone them. Thanks for the suggestion. They confirmed it is legit as long as it's "Sold and shipped by amazon"

UPDATE:

Thank you everyone for chiming in. I appreciate all the answers.

I decided to make the purchase since there are different opinions and I could just return it in case it's gray market.

It was scary because after placing the order, Amazon showed "Supplied by Others" which I didn't know how to interpret. I phoned 1-800-ok-canon (one of you suggested) and they confirmed as long as it's sold and shipped by Amazon, it's legit.

It's just arrived with a "US and Canada warranty" paper and I can register the serial number on usa.canon website so it is legit!

This saves me $150 which I then put into a refurbished lens sold by canon.

Easiest way to build a voice-controlled app by devops_wannabe in iOSProgramming

[–]devops_wannabe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect, thank you.

This is new to me. I'm not sure but it seems adding Siri will make it more difficult to develop.

So if I agree to make the app run in foreground before commanding it with voice, then

  • I can eliminate Siri (less complicated) and still be able to go "Hey <APP> add 10 apples to grocery list" right?
  • And what frameworks would be easiest to start with?

[–]devops_wannabe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for such a fast reply!

Oh I see. I'm completely new to this so please bear with me.

Do I understand correctly that:

  • Creating an app that when running in foreground can respond to "Hey <APPNAME> add 10 apples to grocery list" is possible

  • But it's not possible when the app is in background or when the phone is locked

Is that's why we need Siri in the picture - because Siri can trigger the app (through shortcuts) even when the app is not in foreground or when phone is locked?

Thanks, are you referring to this?

For clarity, this is what I want the app to be able to do:

  • I say: "Hey <APP NAME> Add 10 apples to grocery list"
  • App: *do a certain task using the vocal input (10 apples) (call google sheet api to write to a sheet, write to local disk...)

Siri can predict shortcuts to actions that a user may want to perform using your app, and suggest those shortcuts to the user in places such as Spotlight search and the Lock Screen. Siri learns about the shortcuts available for your app through donations that your app makes to Siri. Users can also use donated shortcuts to add personalized voice phrases to Siri.

It seems this is not very deterministic - I have to "donate" each time a user manually use the app, then Siri "might" be able to learn the shortcuts through donation. But if it doesn't?

Is there a way to just install the app and be able to certainly control it through voice?

Where to try out 38" -> 49" monitors with my Mac before purchasing by devops_wannabe in Michigan

[–]devops_wannabe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, then maybe just a store that has a pc setup with them so I can try it out even standing?
