He/she posted that they had "a dozen kids", could just be exaggerating a bit.

I'm working remote since 4 years, and I have had periods spanning weeks where I have moved less than 2000 steps during 90% of the days. When I started working remote, I went from walking 8k steps per day to ~1k consistently for a 6 months or so. My schedule when I started was 1) Go up from bed 2) Go to computer 3) Sit for ~8h straight, only pause for toilet and making lunch 4) After 8h make dinner, eat, feel like a vegetable in both mind and body.

I've since then re-arranged my day to at least walk 5k-8k steps per day. I've found that the step count doesn't matter much, I need at least 30min high intensity workout every day to not go numb in my mind and body. Luckily, I have two daughters, so I'm forced to do more excersices than I did when I worked from outside of my home.

I'm accessing it from Sweden.

Thanks! And yes, that's indeed true. There's a fine line between passion and obsession. I found that my motivation and passion easily are morphed to their negative equivalents when I'm under pressure, or when I just need to focus on something else entirely.

Nothing. Strangely enough, I can't think of anything new techy that I learned this year.

I've worked full time remote in mobile and machine learning the last 3 years, but this year is special. This year has required me to set my own motivations and goals aside to really be there for my 18 months old daughter, and for my wife. At first I tried to resist and focus on both my family and my career, but I found it hard to be my best self for them.

I took a step back from the stress and greed. I learned that I need to keep my career out of my head when I'm caring for my daughter. I'm more motivated than ever to do some cool projects in 2019. And I've learned that I need to maintain a mental balance between work/passion/me and my family.

Towards new beginnings, and growing as a person.. :)

Real world use cases might be; Classifying the users mood from mouse movement, classifying the microphone audio. I.e. process real time data that might be too large to upload.

I personally haven't seen any NNs being used in browser apps, but there are plenty of existing mobile apps that has NNs to classify audio/video/etc directly on the device.

Wow this is amazing! I don't understand the VCs input about ML, why and how would it help in this use case?

I believe it is the same functionality as in Sublime, IntelliJ, Eclipse and others. It's a total lifesaver when editing bulk stuff, like a lot of constants and what not! One of my must-haves in an IDE.

Dagger2 is great when you have it setup, generating the dependency graph during compilation makes it lightning fast during execution. I also like the error messages, as long as you can read Java stack traces all the info for solving errors are in there - I've never seen an unsolvable situation this far.

Kapt does bump the clean build time to about 2min, incremental builds take between 10-60s - although actually launching the app on an emulator/device adds another 20s.

The cons of Dagger2 that I've experienced since it's launch are; The documentation and support is useless. You're on your own of you don't use a 3rd party sample project as a template. No one understands scopes and subscopes, subcomponents etc. The new Android dagger api is arcane and weird, no one wants to use it.

The Dagger2 team should (if they aren't already) create a Kotlin extension for it, I believe there are some syntactic optimizations to be offered.

You should advice your relative to just get another job, dunno why anyone would bother working under such conditions.

I have a S8+ and have never been annoyed by the round edges, never experienced any distorted colors or been annoyed by indirect light.

It doesn't render properly on my Samsung S8+, Chrome/Firefox. Weird!

/s? React Native seems to be the only alternative to native apps as of today. Googles Flutter might be a viable alternative if they don't drop it, but it's far from production ready..

Most people use it at least once a week, I use it around 2-5 times per week. It's awesome.

Both are already compatible. (I'm using both on Android)
