WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:17.839 The Weekly Thing, issue 37. Weekly Thing for January 20, twenty eighteen. Published January 20, twenty eighteen. By Jamie Thingelstad. In this issue: Nintendo Labo, Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster, Argo workflow engine, Datasette Publish, Micro.blog, Feedbin, Bruce Schneier IoT. 00:00:18.439 --> 00:00:44.799 I’m not a big football fan, but you'd have to be a zombie to not be excited about the Minnesota Vikings amazing win last Sunday! The newly named SPS Tower is in downtown Minneapolis, and with the upcoming Super Bowl we are planning for a bit of chaos. If the Vikings can make their way to that game, it will be an entirely different level of chaos. Cross your fingers for this weekends game and hopefully making history! 00:00:46.199 --> 00:00:47.478 Now, the Photo section. 00:00:48.078 --> 00:00:58.144 There is something magical about a collection of books waiting for you to go on a thousand adventures. Even more so when they are all kids books filled with magic. 00:00:58.644 --> 00:01:03.886 January 13, twenty eighteen at 12:21 PM Wild Rumpus Minneapolis, MN. 00:01:05.286 --> 00:01:06.531 That's the end of Photo. 00:01:07.931 --> 00:01:09.169 Now, the Links section. 00:01:09.769 --> 00:01:15.683 Link one. James Clear: There are 7 minutes/day you need to master to be productive, RescueTime. 00:01:16.183 --> 00:01:19.570 A number of useful tips on optimizing time and energy. 00:01:20.470 --> 00:01:22.355 Link two. Bootstrap 4 · Bootstrap. 00:01:22.855 --> 00:01:30.540 Nice to see continued innovation on Bootstrap! It also feels like it might not look so templated across different uses of the library. 00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:34.080 Link three. HEY META, Website Meta Tag Check. 00:01:34.580 --> 00:01:41.684 Handy tool to check the meta headers on a website and will also give you a template to add for what you might want. 00:01:42.584 --> 00:01:46.679 Link four. Nintendo Labo Official Site, Trailer, product information. 00:01:47.179 --> 00:01:52.650 What a cool idea from Nintendo and an innovative way to use a small, portable game device! 00:01:53.550 --> 00:01:56.270 Link five. My Raspberry Pi Kubernetes Cluster. 00:01:56.770 --> 00:02:11.285 A home-built Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster for 400 dollars that you can run at home with very little power consumption and no noise. Awesome! I kind of want to build one of these even though I have no idea what I would use it for! 00:02:12.185 --> 00:02:18.075 Link six. Here's The Vikings' Unbelievable Last-Second, Game-Winning Touchdown Over The Saints, Digg. 00:02:18.575 --> 00:02:23.683 Enjoy watching the 18 seconds miracle touchdown from the Minnesota Vikings! 00:02:24.583 --> 00:02:30.004 Link seven. Datasette Publish: a web app for publishing CSV files as an online database. 00:02:30.504 --> 00:02:53.760 I love what Simon Willison is doing here with Datasettes. He's focusing on making it super simple to take any file in a CSV format and make it available on the Internet in a public JSON API. He's now made a publisher so you can put data out there with no technical background at all! Very nice! This should be a great thing for some of the open data initiatives out there. 00:02:54.660 --> 00:02:57.964 Link eight. افكار و احلام » Two weeks with Micro.blog. 00:02:58.464 --> 00:03:05.338 This is a very thorough write-up of this persons introduction to Micro.blog! This is where I host my micro blog. 00:03:06.238 --> 00:03:08.086 Link nine. Share to Micro.blog. 00:03:08.586 --> 00:03:14.274 Awesome to see my feed reader of choice, Feedbin, supporting posting to Micro.blog natively! 00:03:15.174 --> 00:03:19.699 Link ten. Open source container-native workflow engine for Kubernetes, Argo. 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:29.748 Interesting, Kubernetes + Workflows. A lot of this is operations example like deploying and continuous integration, but there is a data processing one as well. 00:03:30.648 --> 00:03:35.825 Link eleven. Comparing Kubernetes to Pivotal Cloud Foundry, A Developer’s Perspective. 00:03:36.325 --> 00:03:51.083 Very good writeup comparing current CloudFoundry and Kubernetes. I've been trying to understand this differentiation better, and even asked some Pivotal people this exact question, but the answers were not as clear as the ones in this article. 00:03:51.983 --> 00:03:56.130 Link twelve. The Internet of Things' Dangerous Future: Bruce Schneier. 00:03:56.630 --> 00:04:02.257 Compelling article by Bruce Schneier arguing the increasing threats we face in the security space. 00:04:02.757 --> 00:04:41.790 Quote. The market can’t fix this because neither the buyer nor the seller cares. The owners of the webcams and DVRs used in the denial-of-service attacks don’t care. Their devices were cheap to buy, they still work, and they don’t know any of the victims of the attacks. The sellers of those devices don’t care: They’re now selling newer and better models, and the original buyers only cared about price and features. There is no market solution, because the insecurity is what economists call an externality: It’s an effect of the purchasing decision that affects other people. Think of it kind of like invisible pollution. End quote. 00:04:42.290 --> 00:05:01.778 His argument is an interesting one and I think he's right. There are parts of the technology market where the buyer does care about security, but by device count that is far from a majority. I also appreciate his call to not connect things to the Internet just because. Realize there is risk associated with that. 00:05:03.178 --> 00:05:04.425 That's the end of Links. 00:05:05.825 --> 00:05:07.672 Now, the Featured App section. 00:05:08.272 --> 00:05:10.662 Rise - Nutrition and Weight Loss Coach. 00:05:11.162 --> 00:05:12.242 by Rise Labs, Inc. 00:05:12.742 --> 00:05:29.454 We pair you with a top-notch nutritionist who will take the guess work out of dieting and figure out what works best for you. We don’t believe in one-size fits all solutions, calorie counting or yo-yo dieting. We believe in healthy habits and weight loss that lasts. 00:05:29.954 --> 00:05:52.660 I've used Rise in the past and I've started using it again. Rise is a pretty amazing app connecting you with a registered nutritionist as a coach and giving you a 1:1 connection to improve what you are eating. Each meal you snap a photo, and your coach gives you feedback on your choices. Having an expert help with choosing better foods is pretty powerful. 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:54.505 Free 4/5 stars. 00:05:55.905 --> 00:05:57.657 That's the end of Featured App. 00:05:59.057 --> 00:06:01.062 Now, the Microblog updates section. 00:06:01.662 --> 00:06:08.205 First, gas pumps with screens blaring advertising should be required by law to have always present off buttons. 00:06:08.705 --> 00:06:15.080 Second, I have been impressed with the Anki Cozmo — its amazing how much character this little robot has! 00:06:15.580 --> 00:06:19.713 Third, getting the whole family shoveling the snow makes it very quick! 00:06:20.213 --> 00:06:22.667 Fourth, vikings!

This is about the extent of my handyman skills. 00:06:32.440 --> 00:06:40.610 Eighth, pleased with my first go at Nordic Waffles! Tasted delicious. Kids liked them too. May cut the cardamom back a touch next time. 00:06:41.110 --> 00:06:47.356 Ninth, trying my hand at some Nordic Waffles this morning with the help of Stine Aasland’s We Love Waffles! 00:06:47.856 --> 00:06:53.550 Tenth, went to Young Joni for dinner for the first time. Delicious food and amazing location. 00:06:54.950 --> 00:06:57.156 That's the end of Microblog updates. 00:06:57.656 --> 00:07:04.729 Thank you for subscribing to the Weekly Thing!
