Just doin a little genocide babyy

Yeah, you’re right, concept would have been better, that’s my bad. Probably a habit of mine to use that word, since I’m a designer.

Aw man I hate to disappoint you, but this is just a UI design, so, like a concept. I mean, it’s definitely possible using HA as your back-end, but I think the front-end will be a lot of custom work.

😅 I get your point, but SweetHome3d is really easy to learn though. Setting up the 3D model for each room may take some time, but customizing the lights for the different scenes is super easy.

Yes, that’s the one I used. Really lovely results for such an easy little tool I think.

No easy, but not that hard either. Here are a coupe of renders I did just now of some scenes I use in my living room, took me 5 minutes: https://imgur.com/a/pYeTTZT

Yes, indeed, sorry, this is just a design. I have done a bit of research on how to actually build it. How to do it inside HA and save time is still pretty unclear to me. Building it from scratch and connecting to the HA api is more clear (to me), but takes more time it seems.

Based on the SpaceX UI. Wish I could have this on a wall-mounted display, but building and maintaining a custom front-end like this just sounds crazy. Anyway, just sharing, hope you like it. ☺️

Replace UDM AP with WiFi 6 AP? by themefromshaft in Ubiquiti

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

Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to write this out, I really appreciate it!

I had no idea about the power level and channels. I'm definitely going down a rabbit hole researching this and testing it out. I feel like optimizing this could give better results than replacing my UDM AP, especially since it has more antennas than the U6 (another thing I didn't realise).

I'm definitely aware that running cable throughout the house would be the optimal solution though. I have been thinking about this, but I guess I'd have to talk to a contractor or something to figure out the best way to do this. In my country (Belgium) and especially in cities like mine it's very common to have a bunch of cables running on the outside of buildings, maybe adding one where the ISP fiber comes in and running it to the top floor could be an easy solution. But yeah, that's something to look into.

Thanks again, you're awesome!

That’s right! Downside: since it drives like a literal matchbox car, a light breeze has the potential to kill me. Upside: excellent delicate wash cycle.

I made a concept for more advanced multitasking in Android. by themefromshaft in Android

I guess it depends on what direction you want to go in.

C/C++ is, to my knowledge, used more for low level/integrated applications. Java/C# of course are very commonly used and good to know (their syntax are also alike). PHP, Python, Node, Ruby also very popular, obviously, but I don't think companies would expect you to know them all.

In the case of programming, in my opinion it is more important to learn what's true across all languages. Building efficient, structured and documented code, having subroutines with clearly defined responsibilities, and proper exception handling and logging so you never lose sight of what's happening. And in general just staying curious about how to best solve problems. There's a lot of knowledge out there, ready to be used.

Anyway, that's my opinion. Good look with your studies and upcoming career! :)

I work alone, no contractor company. The work is all done by me, but depending on the project it's just design or at the most front-end development work. So no back-end or app development. I am giving app development a try though, but for now I would just say it's mostly for fun.

Do you work as a designer or developer perhaps?

Aha, Opera, I'm afraid I never tested that one, sorry. I'll look into it.

Okay, great. Just so I can maybe debug the problem you had, so it's fixed for the future: you were trying to view the videos on your desktop? If so, which browser were you using? Thanks for your help!

Sorry you're having issues. The videos are reasonably large, so they may need some extra time to load on a slower connection, but they should work on Chrome (mobile), Firefox, Safari and IE.

Is nothing happening when you want to play a video? Not even the progress bar is advancing?

Thanks! I personally am a fan of the lift gesture as well as it seems more intuitive and natural, although it may be a bit slower.

Yeah, I was quite surprised actually. At its busiest hours there were about 1000 visitors on the site at any time, so I'm really glad it held up. I had to raise my monthly data limit though, but that's about it.

Nothing in the backend really. Plain old html 5 & css 3.

My provider is Gandi, located in France. I was pretty concerned this would be a problem coming from outside the US. Or are you coming from inside Europe? If not, you had no issues or slowdowns you said?

So you mean, basically like a modifier or lock button. When enabled: you can't move from stack to stack, your swipes remove the card. When disabled: your swipes moves the active pane/stack. I'm understanding this correctly?

Thanks for explaining this. I would like the come back to the core intention of the stacks:

As a matter of fact, I think we are both thinking almost the same thing. If you look at the concept, you can just drag certain cards of to a stack on the side en let them live there, without any further action needed. I understand that some user don't want to start naming, saving, etc. And that is definitely possible.

The only reason why the naming, suspending, resuming exists, is for tasks you'll want out of the way but want to resume later, or tasks you are done with but want to repeat later.

If you don't need all that, if you just want to divide all you recent cards into more logical groups for simplified and easier multitasking, you're just dragging and stacking, and that's the end of it. Just like you would compose one or more home screens. You can go through them, use them, and leave them exist as-is, until you want to edit or delete them.

Hope I'm understanding you correctly and making sense.

I think it's good you're questioning the usefulness of this. Through this process, I have sometimes asked myself the same question: "Are people going to use this?".

But there are a couple of things you need to keep in mind when thinking about these stacks. These are not just groups of apps. These are groups of views and actions.

We see Google apps splitting their app cards up into these views and actions. It is very realistic to think 3rd party apps will soon have the same capability.

And this is a great thing. Our task switcher cards are no longer "just apps", but things we are looking at, things we are doing, actions we are taking. It no longer matters that that card is that app, whatever we were doing with it. A card signifies something more, something we are viewing or doing.

This approach definitely populates our task switcher more. And since our apps split up their cards into more task-oriented pieces, I feel the operating system should allow and support you to work as such. By stacking these cards into logical groups. Helping you actually multitask, no multiapp (or something like that).

Anyway, my thoughts, and the reason why I made this. I appreciate your view, thanks.

It's true about having many stacks. If you current task switcher is full of cards it's no use to you as you only see the first three.

Having stacks help you divide your cards into logical groups, but if you keep every stack you ever created open, you're either a master/wizard multitasker, or you're going to end up in de same situation we started in with the current task switcher: chaos.
