I have definitely had issues getting the ERD to behave in dbeaver. For someone like me, it's fine. I'll fiddle until it works. For some folks I've worked with, not so much. I usually only want this sort of thing when coll

I wish this existed when I started my project 5 years ago. I had to design a database schema for a full stack project using postgres. I was working with a scientific domain expert, and it was very helpful to have a diagram to review, so t

Small nitpick: How does this calculate the health score shown? I see a vague description in the about page, but I'm confused by the weights. For example the Guild Wars 2 API shows 95 prevent, but clicking for details shows 100 perce

Thanks for the info. Their comments on hardware treadmills are reasonable. I'm not looking to chase the latest hardware, but I was still scared off by reviews claiming web video playback performance issues. I suppose I was hopping f

I wish it was comparable. The Librem 5 is years behind flagship smartphone hardware. I want to switch, but it would be difficult to give up the stability that comes with Android. That said, maybe the Librem has improved in the last year

Not yet, but that's not a bad idea.

I've often thought this was the case. Tangentially, when I don't get enough sleep, and my executive function is impaired, I tend to drift into involuntary daydreams. The content of those daydreams trends to feel like simulations

I've noticed this as well. I think it's a pretty good analogy. That realization came after being homeschooled for a few years as a teen. In my case, this meant less opportunity to socialize. After returning to public school, m

It's a bit of a tangent, but do you have any go-to resources for learning how to use Django-ninja with HTMX? I haven't really put a lot of time into it, but HTMX seemed difficult to use with JSON APIs on first attempt. I'm

I miss this workflow sometimes. I started out as a c++ dev with a light weight vim + make workflow. I didn't really want an ide. I didn't have to configure much and I knew the libraries well enough that auto-completions didn&#x

I often feel this way l only to realize that the real cause is that the software was written before planning the architecture first. Usually caused by the rush to a minimum viable product rather than maintainability. Immutably can definite

Self assembling robotic materials feel so far away, yet so close to happening. I'm sure it will be a long time before anything like this is practical, but it seems like we could be so much more efficient with that level of reuse. I&#

We've all had "the box" at one point or another. You know, the one full of nightmare spaghetti. I may have one (or three) of those. I find its often easier to buy a new cable, rather than fight the spaghetti monster.

I'm wondering what will happen when competition finally shows up. While I'm not an expert, I'm sure cloud providers would love to stop paying high prices for hardware. CUDA seemed like the roadblock,, but that can only last

I agree. I tend to avoid flatpak, since I don't usually have the time to debug access issues. The desktop integration doesn't seem good enough to give me an allow/block dialog each time. The current situation of "is t

I don't develop offline often these days, but I do recall a recent time where my power went out for a few hours. Since I was using git on my laptop, I just shrugged and kept working. Using git allowed me to continue working in a flow

I agree with your take. This device kind of reminds me of the kiosk use case. There are times where having a single device, that does one thing well, feels better than having to search through a crowded smartphone for an app.

I've had this thought before while studying biology in college while working on legacy code as an intern. There's definitely a "designed by natural selection" feel to some old legacy systems.

This is great news! I recently discovered LVGL and was thinking that it would be great to have in a esphome module. I currently have a few of the small i2c OLED displays going, but they are quite limited. Many thanks to those working on

Yeah, I had a few driver versions cause issues. I'm usually able to get around it by switching proton versions. Sometimes the experimental version works when others don't. There was a driver version a month or so back that broke

I'm fine with paid software licenses, but ads and telemetry embedded in a product with a payed license is a hard pass from me.

I've been playing Baldurs Gate, and Guidwars 2 without issue. I originally started out on endeavorOS which lasted a while, but eventually needed the stability of PopOS since I have dev work on the same machine. Pop has a version that

This is really awesome. Thanks for the links. I'm done with everything iot cloud, even though it takes a bit more work on the home server upkeep side.

Nah, programmers of that caliber will use a magnetized needle directly on the hard disk platters.

I only listened a bit of the link, skipping around to get the gist, but I got this feeling. Carlin had a talent pointing out the darker sides of human existence in a way that left me feeling a bit more hopeful, and able to cope with them.

I recall having that exact experience as a kid. It was equally disappointing (it definitely ruined the rocket), and hilarious. Finding the remains of the rocket protruding from the earth, like a sad javelin sent from the heavens, still ligh

I would probably have become a licensed locksmith. My father was a locksmith, and tought me enough that it would have been an easier path to take, as opposed to learning a new profession. I chose to start a CS program after realizing that

It still blows my mind that so many devices depend on a library largely written by a single person. The level of pressure must be insane and it shows in this bit: "Reading the code now it is impossible not to see the bug. Yes, it trul

I'd be interested. Even if it's just a Linux SBC + camera module, an OS image preconfigured as an IP cam would really reduce the DIY overhead.

I was really hoping that the Pine64 PineCube cameras would gain traction in this space, but it seems like they only ever really shipped small batches of them. They'd need an enclosure/software to make them a reasonable choice. Wik
