Forgot to add (all seen in production): * Don't store UUIDs as strings. * Don't use random UUID variants for your primary key (or don't use UUIDs for your primary key). * Don't use a random column in your clustered index

Next you'll be telling me that instead of asking AI to find my bug I should just use print statements or a debugger to observe the state of my program over time to find where it deviates from expectations and figure it out that way.

For plants, and trees too I guess, you can just grow your own, dig it up after a while, and inspect for yourself. Today I finished picking tomatoes from my tomato plants and pulled them up to avoid them rotting in the field as the temperatu

Seems unlikely it would fall out of spec by that much just during manufacturing. These things drift due to temperature (or even vibrations) anyway, and when it comes to using them in an RTC you have drift adjustment registers for any major

Cool, the term "object-relational mapping" does indeed sound broad, as if it could be applied to merely the act of mapping tuples into something more structured, but that doesn't matter. It has a definition. If people started

by Arch-TK 1y ago
You seem to be disagreeing on what the term ORM means and using the new, not very useful, and very far from the original definition. I do recommend you look at the literature of the time when ORMs and the "Object Relational Mismatch&qu

What is more likely to fail? The hardware managed by Hetzner or your product? I'm not saying that you won't experience hardware failures, I am just saying that you also need to remember that if you want your product to keep workin

I think if you just look at the titles, they sound exactly like the cheesy nonsense these things like to generate when you ask them to structure something. A lot of the writing also has this feeling to a lesser extent. My advice is always t

SQLAlchemy Core isn't an ORM, it's just a very good query generator. Although nobody seems to use the term ORM correctly any more so it's entirely possible that neither is peewee or sqlorm. The story behind why ORM is nowaday

Adobe DRM is relatively easy to strip. It's my go-to fallback when I can't find a DRM-free purchase somewhere.

Please don't write your blog post with AI. Don't force me to either get another AI to remove all the fluff, or to skim read. There's an interesting article here, covered in a layer of AI slop.

I don't think the dismissal is that shallow. The original anecdote came with a conclusion, the person you replied to seemed to be trying to warn against such conclusions.

It tells you that with a sample size of 1. Maybe the person has a genetic mutation that protects against arthritis. Anecdotes aren't useless, but be very careful of _any_ conclusion you draw from them.

The person you are replying to isn't saying you should give anecdotes more weight. They are just saying that dismissing something outright because someone used an anecdote is similar in nature to blindly believing in an anecdote. I don

I don't use Arch any-more. But we met on IRC. We both still use Linux :)

Is this why a bunch of people joined random Libera channels yesterday wondering why IRC is so great if nobody ever talks?

The source is available for you to read. English is a language in which words can have more than one meaning depending on the context they are used in. "I am sick" meaning that I am not feeling well. In the context of someone watc

What's crazy is that I only realised this after my Fiancée pointed it out. Up to that point I thought it was just meandering way too much, I just skipped through most of it. I've not been using much LLM output recently, and genera

I've seen an application, a 95% CRUD application, which had about 100-1000 users across the UK, users who would only be using it from 9am-5:30pm, and at that - barely interacting with it. This was backed by literally the most sophistic

It wasn't specifically in the context of debug pins. On a "normal" arduino, an FTDI chip on the board handles the job of exposing a serial adapter to your computer over USB. The atmel chip on the other side of the FTDI chip r

by Arch-TK 1y ago
The teensy is so weird though. At least back when I played with them. They put a secondary chip which let's you flash over USB but they cover the debug pins and the only way to get serial over the USB port is to have a whole USB stack

Unfortunately it's never going to happen. Also, things like TPMs, Secure Boot, etc, are good security tools which can be used by an end user to get security guarantees over their device. I use Secure Boot with Linux because, when done

Okay, I was not familiar with the Postgres specific terminology. Just for context, I run Postgres on an OpenBSD host (will probably be FreeBSD in the near future) to back an instance of davical which is a caldav server used by a total of tw

You are right, but it's still a manual step I have to remind myself how to perform every time I upgrade. Thankfully the OpenBSD docs remind me, otherwise I wouldn't remember: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrad

I am talking from an end user of an application point of view. I have _one_ database, not a cluster. I back it up every day anyway. You're telling me I have to specifically use Debian, and have a cluster, to get a good experience out o

I don't really get why Postgres is touted as "boring" technology. It's literally the "exciting" SQL server. Surely you mean MySQL / MariaDB. With Postgres I literally have to re-read docs every time there

Somewhat unrelated: Do you think the UK government and Google have the same PR team? Thought: Maybe we can organise and collectively hire this PR team to get Google, other big tech, and our governments, to look bad... And get shit done that
