Maybe what we need is a pre-commit hook that prefixes every commit with the name of the branch it's being made onto

You need a specific command just to view the buffer? I knew about ed from the memes but I had no idea it was that low level.

This seems like it would be great for Python, if I understand it right. I could run a UV tool installed as my user, and allow that tool to make system level changes such as adding me to a certain group?

Wow, that's a lot of amazing information, so many details that just get glossed over if you don't read the full report!

We've already got programmable charging chips that can adapt to different chemistries, and they're already pretty cheap, and USB-C has proven that fancy voltage negotiation protocols can be done cheaply.

Or better yet, create a new set of replaceable battery standards with multiple chemistry options, and certify the batteries. Users should be able to choose LiFePo4/LTO/Sodium for peace of mind and reliability if they don't ne

I don't generally see this kind of issue with UV, at least not with the ultra popular libraries. With the exception of Gstreamer. I use some awful hacks to break out of virtual environments and use the system Gstreamer, because it&#x2

Everything has such a complex web of dependencies, how useful is mirroring a package without mirroring it's dependencies too? Are there automated tools for mirroring the whole tree?

The article claims it's a "low voltage signal wire", but perhaps they meant to say a low voltage power wire?

I suppose there's meaning in searching for abstract logical truths, but he might have other such pursuits. Or, he might even feel that it's mostly done already and became just another boring software maintenance project. It's

He specifically mentions hiking and staying healthy, I'd imagine he's not going to stop using his brain completely.

I'm guessing a lot of the legacy stuff that still uses it also depends on some other things they wanted to change too?

They say thermal imaging could have identified the issue, does that mean that it was actually a low voltage power line, not a signal line? Do they have cameras that can see the heat from sub-mA connections? I wonder what kind of diagnostic

To us outsiders it's really hard to understand what's actually happening here, but it almost seems like the whole thing could even be a net positive for him, he seems to really feel a need for a new direction. But that could just

A lot of us might experience similar things, but this seems somewhat unique. He has a large amount of original low level code where he's the only maintainer, that doesn't work with standard dev tools. A lot of non-hacker devs woul

These would be the best thing ever for small cheap IoT devices, assuming they can make them cheaply and they can be assembled the same way you assemble normal SMD capacitors. I don't think energy density is that much of a limitation, b

That's pretty impressive, I wonder how it handles LoRa or Bluetooth? I assume every packet is probably at least 32 bytes, if 1000 people send one every ten minutes, that's going to be 700 bits per second or so, right?

Is there any kind of DHT like routing for the addresses? Woudn't the announces make a lot of traffic without that, if you ever got to thousands of nodes?

Oh nice! What protocol are you using?

by eternityforest 11mo ago
It's really cool, but as far as I know there's no complete C++ implementation for embedded platforms, and I still can't figure out how it actually works. Does the gossip flooding mean every single node needs to know about eve

Tilting them vertical or nearly so is very useful if there could be any hail, that might be a good idea to support. What about compressed air? It might not be too hard to find a small brushless low power air pump that could drive pistons d

I love that it's Rust based, but being busy is exactly why I like Systemd, it Just Works, as long as you don't need to customize the OS at all.

Disenhackifying one of the last pieces of my KaithemAutomation server that still feels not best practicesful. Device driver plugins used to have a very simple flat key value, strings only format, with a set_config_properties function to tel

What do those systems do that UV/PyPi doesn't? Usually arbitrary binaries stuffed in Python wheels are mostly self contained single binaries and such, with as little dynamic linking nonsense as possible, so they don't break

I believe it is used to cross platform link Rust/maturin wheels, which seems nice because it's one fewer unusual install script to integrate into your project, if zig isn't packaged for Debian yet.

I wouldn't expect video timeline seeking to be all that performance critical, I would think you could use SQLlite with indexes, since you only need a small number at a time and they're probably pretty low resolution, right?

Emacs is in a different category from all of those, since it gives the dev more control rather than more abstraction.

Could they add cameras to solve this issue?

Can't you do it inductorlessly if the load is a heater, and you can freely choose the resistance, just by PWMing the element from a capacitor? If so that's probably like a $3 board in quantity, which could also give you the optio

What about the force transferred by the connector wiggling? I think You'd need a very good mechanical design on the case to make it all work.
