Not accurate enough. I want to be able to quantify e.g how much water was used to water the garden. In a 25K litre tank, that's a very small change in level.

I'm building a system for measuring levels in water tanks using submersible pressure sensors (triggered by living in a dry area and being totally dependant on our tanks). Quality sensors cost a lot - too much for domestic purposes. Muc

Agreed that Oracle licensing is byzantine, probably deliberately. But devil's advocate says that any organization should be aware of what they are actually licensed for, even if that means contracting a third party to ensure compliance

I'm no fan of oracle's audit approach but it sounds like you were expecting special leniency to not pay for their stuff - for decades - because you are a govt agency/ live in a low income place. Not how business works. If you

Each user gets 10 points per day, and can use it in a single vote or spread across hundreds?

Spot on. When you're building something largely new, a lot of your energy goes into just laying down the concepts and then iterating fiercely on them. For example, eventually you realise that the system should be based on Frammels, wit

Getting into 3d printing has ruined tech porn like this for me. Before I would have seen a high tech shiny case. Now I just see z axis binding artifacts between the port cutouts.

Good luck to you. I realized I wrote "no much money" to be made, whereas I meant the opposite, so go get it.

The recruitment industry has always had parallels to dating. We have two parties who don't want their time wasted, but want to get together as quickly as possible if it's a good match, while maintaining their dignity and their pri

If you are successful, then next I suggest you will be following in the steps of vendors offering online reference checks, e.g xref, checkster. You will need all sorts of fraud detection, e.g multiple reviewers all coming from the same ip,

How well does the wifi work? I can't at first glance see any sign of the antenna, many ESP32 boards have a trace antenna carved onto the PCB itself.

I'm no fan of Musk's shitty and arrogant behaviour. His treatment of Unsworth was truly disgusting. But that's like saying after a rugby game that the left wing deserved far more of the credit than the coach or captain, since

It's a fair point, but really best practice would be to class a conversion as someone who applied for the job, was successful, and then performed at a high level for the next two years. Not practical for many reasons and hard to convey

> We have been talking about carbon markets for over three decades now and still have not solved the supply side of the equation. Talking, but never actually doing.

We already know they have been absolutely worthwhile to date. We've lived with very occasional lockdowns, and apart from that life has been normal for most people (apart from those in hospo, overseas tourism etc.), and there have been

In a similar vein, I've discussed with customers why it's not a good idea to slavishly follow conversions, in our case on our hosted corporate careers site product. If job seekers are not well matched to a job, then we don't

We need to go massively net-negative - agreed. But it doesn't follow that we need to e.g. reduce petrol consumption to zero. Squeezing out that last one or two percent is going to be much harder than just moving on and looking for gain

You're assuming there is ecological balance In my country, idiotic victorians introduced several predator species (stoats, weasels etc.) back around the turn of the last century - a mere blink of the eye ago in ecological time. Since t

Or you could acknowledge that the rural folk will have to make more changes to their lifestyles than the city folk will in order to reduce emissions. Should they bear all the costs? No. The city folk are consumers for those products created

Surprised not to see more mention of this. It would make sense for an AI to "copy" existing solutions. In the real world, we use clean room to avoid this. In the AI world, unless all GPL (etc.) code is excluded from the training d

That's a good point. The difference with a password reset email though is that it unlocks all of the user's existing data - posts, images, contacts, whatever. For our invite emails, there is no user data yet, since we are inviting

Maybe that should be the Yanker pattern, since there are certainly many more scummy behaviours that merit the Fuck You label.

In my experience, most companies want it the other way - they don't want you to be able to choose e.g. a personal email address. I'll admit I'm not familiar with the sort of email system you are talking about, nor the benefit

It's not a spam vector, as you can't control the content. No different from any other signup email in that sense.

My nomination - when someone has been invited by email to join the site (e.g in a saas system, one user invites someone else to join their team), then don't make them verify their email! I see this so often, and it adds no security, an

Not at all. Plenty of people get to the point where: - they've just had enough and can't be bothered - they know the business needs investment of money and/or time to go to the next level - they've identified some more l
