I experience a fair amount of over lighting on some calls due to my monitor (a 42" Dell thing, maybe sitting 50-60cm away). Most things I use have dark mode, but when someone shares their screen and it's pure white I end up looking like an apparition. Does anyone have any additional suggestions where the monitor itself is the cause of the excess light? Is distance a helping factor (someone else mentioned 1.5m away from their 85" TV)?
That’s really tough. For me I use a display that has an ambient light sensor so it matches my surroundings, that might help a bit.
Ideally your environment is balancing the light level of your monitor (maybe 50% black level) so you can have something that works if it’s a white display window or dark.
I'm surprised they're putting SMS 2fa in now. In 2016 the NIST released new guidelines that essentially "banned" SMS 2fa use. It's heavily suggested that US banks follow NIST guidelines, I'm unsure if there's any actual legal requirement for them to.
You could always send the portion of the guidelines to as many credit union people as possible. Someone may bite.
That's not entirely correct. The main purpose is how US federal agencies handle stuff such as digital identities, this includes all digital identities - employees and citizens/other. Private institutions can use it as guidance for whatever purpose.

Either that or OpenAPI Specification (which is in some ways a superset of JSON Schema). At a previous job, we had OpenAPI specs that were mostly just schemas with a few endpoints defined. The tools around generating OpenAPI clients are robust and mature.
To me this is quite similar to the Erlang VM's ETS in-memory store. There's a lot of usefulness in ETS itself, especially how it distributes inside clusters. Having an easy to use, efficient, and optimized store as part of the language can be a good enabler. Only time will tell if it is/isn't.
Are you aware of iex sessions (the repl)?
If you start your elixir application via iex, you have a repl available alongside your running application. e.g. iex -S mix phx.server
I've just been very confused once I am in there how to run a proper debugger. All those commands (:debugger.start()) "work" but they don't provide me with a step debugger that I'm used to (or at least don't make it obvious).
Do you use them in that way?
I just tried again to use :debugger.start() from within my IEx session, and couldn't figure out how to even load up the source code. Seems like it operates more at the erlang VM level and not at the Elixir/Phoenix level? And, pry/break seems nice, but does not let me step through, only set a breakpoint and then inspect the state then and there.
The REPL is amazing, I don't mean to downplay it!
But, I've yet to find a simple debugger for Phoenix applications, am I missing it?
I was first expecting the ability to see if I needed an umbrella _now_ compared to in the future.
Then I got stuck for a little while trying to change the location from SF, I couldn't tell where I needed to click or that I did end up focusing something. The top line to the form sort of looked like it was trying to be a material design field, and the card with SF in it looked like it was supposed to be editable - it is editable, I just happened to only be clicking on the pin (and didn't notice the slight state change when I found the input).
If you auto-detect a timezone, it's probably better to guess that as a default location vs SF?
Amazing feedback, I love the idea to see directly from the page itself if you need an umbrella now. Also as someone else pointed out, it also allows you to check if it works before you input an email.
For the input, yes happy to change that directly. Maybe adding a X would help to clear the current input.
As for the auto-detect of the location, this just needs a bit tweaking with the Google Maps API. I did not get to it yet, but I am happy to hear that this addition would be appreciated.
Happy to include the major feedbacks in the next first release (by tomorrow).
Being able to tell if it's a US or non-US cup for conversions is something that would be great too. I first look for grams/oz/other as units, then fall back to primary intended audience/publisher being American or not.
Project Appia – Brit Insurance | Senior Frontend Engineer & Senior Backend Engineer | Full-Time | London, UK | Part Remote (within the UK)
Project Appia is a Greenfields project incubated within Brit Insurance. We’re looking for two (2) talented individuals to help bring Appia to life.
The initial core problem we’re looking to solve is the overly manual and error-prone processes surrounding the ingestion and validation of data. Manually re-inputting the bare minimum leaves massive amounts of data on the table.
I'm western, but almost all of my childhood and early/mid teens was spent in Asia. I think growing up seeing all the variety of odd and stinky things made me much more willing to try; they were having it, so _I want it_.
I wonder how much environment shapes how open one will be to food. Most picky eaters I've met come from places with cultures of TV-centric dinners (America, Australia, UK) opposed to family-centric ones (Japan, Germany, Singapore), which makes me wonder if there's a link or just coincidence in experience.
I am also a westerner that spent my childhood in SE Asia. Everyone ate in large, familial gatherings, and what was served was what was served. You could always fall back to plain rice if you genuinely didn't like what was available, but in practice I don't ever remember that happening. Sure, there were things you liked more than others, but sharing food with my friends was fun, and if they liked something, why wouldn't I?
We were also more involved in the production/acquisition of the food of the day- go fetch some eggs from the hens, go ask the folks next door for some lemon grass, that kind of thing. I really do think being a part of the creation of the meal was good for our development. It certainly made me more interested in tasting what the adults did with the ingredients we brought them!
I won't say there was zero concern (people did fight for the best durian), but overall, everyone was just happy to have food. The concept of being able to even be a picky eater just didn't exist (or at least, I never saw it) outside of genuine allergies or the like.
It's a great point about the broader process. Specifically, including people who aren't your immediate family (do you want them to see you refuse something?) and investing in the prior-to-plate portion (sunk cost fallacy!).
