Center Cam Standard Package

thecentercam.com

Center Cam Standard Package includes: Center Cam Assembly, Adjustable clip mount, Lens Privacy cover. Center Cam Specs: 1080p Resolution, F2.1 lens, 30 FPS, 65 degree Horizontal Field of View. Compatible with Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux. USB-A/USB-C. Adjustable Clip Mount Specs: Opens up to 2". Unit is 5 Ft. long

This seems like a very good tool! We do so many zoom calls these days, not to mention teaching over zoom. We’re used to the off center eye contact. But I wonder whether people will notice when you use this that you’re looking right at them. Maybe it will make you more persuasive or help you do…

File: Advanced I/O with Polyphony — Documentation for polyphony (1.1.1)

rubydoc.info

Filed under things I didn’t know about IO with Ruby. Still love that language! This gem takes advantage of Unix “splices” to speed up IO when reading and writing large amounts of data.

Nova

nova.app

The beautiful, fast, flexible, native Mac code editor from Panic.

Looks interesting! Will anything ever lure me away from vscode? Yes: I’m old enough to know that eventually every programming habit gets superseded by a better one.

Community by the Numbers, Part One: Group Thresholds

lifewithalacrity.com

We often think of communities as organic creatures, which come into existence and grow on their own. However, the truth is they are fragile blossoms.

The attached article is an absolute classic. Chuckleworthy but also useful and interesting. No one has ever fact-checked it though. I wonder if it is all true? Check out the article! (P.s. I like this one so much I think I’ve posted it before, it hopefully not too recently!

Zed - Code at the speed of thought

zed.dev

Just to prove that theres never the last word on anything, especially programmers editors. I thought history ended with vscode. But take a look st this, pretty tantilizing! Author says: “Code at the speed of thought. Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.”

A very interesting new text editor. Looks a lot like vscode. Playing with it. It is written in RUST which is always now the key to being a cool app. It is very very fast. But it does not have all the plugins I rely on.
