but yeah, he probably doesn't know Curacao isn't part of Venezuela.
- are you guys naming your products?
We have an internal name and our product name. Internal names start as something that describes the project/repo/tool. Then within 18 months the name no longer makes sense so we rename it to some random name - state names, lake names, presidents, mountains, etc. It's just a placeholder.
The public facing product name is a compromise of marketing, trademark, and what gets approved by the CEO. Even the company name might change in startup world. No joke: the startup next door had to change their name because it was too masculine, and they realized more than half their projected market was women.
- 100% agree
my local middle school has their school zone on:
1. four lane highway
2. dedicated turning lanes
3. major thru-way between shops, apartments, and the rest of the city
4. great visibility
this is a recipe for 50mph. the speed limit is 25mph. If you do the speed limit, you WILL be tailgated. If you do ~35, you're risking a ticket. There will still be people doing 45-50 and weave through the lanes.
also in my town, the main thru-way is a route dating back to the 30s. There are red lights at major intersections and they WILL turn red even if no one is there. They're designed to slow people down. HOWEVER if you speed and run a yellow light, you'll hit ALL the lights green! It shaves significant time off your trip, is easier on your car, is more enjoyable, and requires less attention. It's a system designed to make people speed and run reds.
Where I used to live, I could get from one side of the city to the other in a maximum of 30 minutes. the lights were designed to keep traffic flowing at 30-35mph. It ENCOURAGED you to go no faster, or you'll have to slow down and come to a stop. This also kept traffic flowing so you felt like you HAD to focus on driving. They also did things to encourage bicycles and make things safer for pedestrians.
- ah interesting. our codebase is over 10gb with about 8 years of history. But, we only have 2-3 merges per week.
- thanks, that makes sense. I don't see how a worktree is more convenient in that case.
Maybe from the kind of work I do? either CI is failing because of something really simple, or something really complicated that means getting a product setup and producing debug messages. If it's a critical fix on branch A, then I'm not working on branch B. I'm testing branch A locally while CI does its thing
- I don't understand the workflow that makes JJ more useful than git. I dont think I've even had the idea of having multiple worktrees going at once. What is the use case? The author mentions being blocked by CI flow. Don't you have CI running on gitlab or github? just commit and push the branch and run CI. The author mentions stashing the changes, but like.. if you're running against CI, isn't it in a state that is commitworthy? I don't see how creating a worktree in a new folder and opening a new editor is more convenient than creating a branch at a certain commit.
I can understand if you need to run a CI or unit tests locally. Is that it?
I am not attacking JJ, I genuinely can't understand its value in my current workflow.
- Assuming the other commenter is correct and the mcu is a clone of an ST product, then it's possible that the protection are fuses that destroy the pathways to the memory. They're one-time writable and cannot be undone. At my work that is how we protect our firmware with a similar ST product.
I'm not sure how it works in-silicon. Would be interesting to know how... but it's sunday afternoon
- This readme reads like I already know the project, what it does, what problems it solves, and how it works.
> A precise project scheduling engine with minute-level accuracy for resource allocation and dependency management.
I have no idea what that means.
I write firmware, so does that mean this project is a scheduler for a while(1) based mcu project?
> pip install scriptplan
Oh, it's python. ok, so it's a "resource allocation and dependency management" engine.. for a python project? I mean, I'm using pip to install it, so it's not a daemon style engine that my project can hook into, right?
> # Generate JSON report to stdout
> plan report project.tjp
Oh, it IS some kind of daemon or service that runs when I install it with pip?
> Certification Level: Airport-Grade / Mission Critical
Okay, so is there a standards bureau that certified it? if so shouldnt there be a certification number somewhere? then maybe I could figure out what this does.
Read to the end, I still don't know what the first line in the readme means. Maybe I need to look up 'TaskJuggler'?
- personally, I started re-watching Mad Men JUST because of these errors!
I love audio commentary, behind the scenes, and other looks behind the veil. I would love the ability to see more of unedited, 'raw', or 'mistakes' in older tv shows. Hell, I would even pay for it.
Whats really interesting to me is that no one 'decided' what's worthy of inclusion like they do with behind the scenes stuff
- > There are several lessons to take away from this tragedy. One is that localization is a good thing. Another is that it is best not to kill people who make you angry until you have carefully investigated the situation
wise wise words
- I've been thinking a lot about John Henry since this AI stuff has started
- Thanks, previously the only other car I had was a 1995 volvo which used additional bulbs when the high beams were engaged. Intensity and field of view were increased. The outback's headlights were very confusing to me since I leapt through like 3 generations of cars
I wonder if it became normal around the time everyone started complaining headlights were too bright
- My 2024 outback has no 'high beams'. My low beams are the same brightness as high beams. The only difference is the field of view. I switch on the high beams on and height of the beam increases, but intensity stays the same.
I feel awful about essentially high-beaming everyone unless the road is flat.
- What I don't understand is... is it really only NATO aligned countries?
Maybe I just didn't read the article well enough.
In the USA we get over 100 drone sightings near airports per month. ( https://www.faa.gov/uas/resources/public_records/uas_sightin...? ) ( we are certainly 'NATO aligned', but it's the easiest source of drone incursion records I could find )
What about Asian countries? African Countries? Does the EU have better drone detection? Does the EU overreact due to the current tension levels within the EU?
the whole article reads like a FUD-laced sales pitch for gathering public support for an expensive anti-drone tech. There's even a whole section talking about how it will be a 'financially controversial question'. The article starts with fearmongering around the drones not having explosives 'yet'.
Maybe there are normal or slightly elevated levels of drone incursion due to idiots with access to cheap drones. Maybe the drone-wall vendor working with their partners within the EU saw an opportunity to exploit fear to gather support
edit: I tried to get data for the EU similar to what the FAA produces. I failed. Chatgpt says there "maybe" reason to believe in a recent spike in sightings. I am maybe overly cautious about trusting that a spike is indeed happening and it has hostile intent. I am reminded of the mass delusion in New Jersey of the 'drone sightings' that ended up being nothing interesting.
- Nevermind the wall, this person's blog dates back to 2002.
I think I have a blog/digital journal from around 2007 or so, but with HUGE gaps (years) where I lost interest.
Pretty incredible in its own right
- I wish the fancy scroll nonsense would go away.
For example I wanted to look at the first picture in the horizontal gallery that scrolls horizontally when you scroll vertically. However, there is no way for me to view the whole image. Either it is cutoff at the bottom, or it starts horizontally scrolling. Switching from vertical to horizontal scrolling is awkward and I just want to skip the gallery.
scrolling on that page feels slow, sluggish, and if you switch to spacebar, you actually miss significant content since it only loads/becomes visible halfway into the page.
Like others have said, dust is a huge issue. Some film labs cut film into short strips. some film is just a single image (for example if previously cut to fit into slides).
The film is designed to form into a coil. So, if there's grit or any hard material you'll end up with scratches on the negative itself.
--is it only 35mm as well? I don't think I see any mention of formats it supports. So I can only assume it's just 35mm.-- EDIT: found the 120mm section in the FAQ.
I dont want to use google/apple/microsoft for any credential manager because: google is evil; apple has locked me out of my apple id (and lost things like the recordings of conversations with my father during his hospice); microsoft keeps getting worse and more annoying to use.
So ok, I need some credential manager. I used keepass previously... but how do I vet other credential managers? I dont want an online backup. I want my credentials to only be on my computers. So now I gotta learn about which apps are ok, don't have cloud synching, can export files, and be compatible with MacOS.
And I have to learn what is FIDO? Like FICO? why do I need to synch with FIDO? what is it? will it give my credential store to others?
How is this easier or more convenient than a user/pass with 2fa?
I feel like I am going to accidentally leak my credentials and have no way of knowing
