I'm always a bit shocked when I see people attacking other people's passion projects. I don't mean constructive criticism, but stuff like "why would you even spend time on this, *I* don't like [recording my voice&#x

So you think it was a good move to scoff at someone for using a computer for their work in a way that is different from your preferences?

There are a lot of people who are not expert Python programmers, but know enough to pull data from various sources and make plots. Jupyter{Notebook,Lab} is great for that. As you say, from a programmer's point of view the logical thing

Sure! I love to talk about this stuff ;) My email is in my profile. Let me know what you're trying to accomplish and we can discuss it. For context: I'm building a "satellite bus/payload computer" OS based on Yocto

Totally agree, Zenoh is a breath of fresh air. Being able to interoperate with a ROS system without having to hook into the whole build system is huge. I can imagine a future where we have "established" ros2 packages like nav2, mo

I think ROS' biggest benefit is that the "golden path" is well documented and it has a huge community. I found that if you "stick to the golden path" (monorepo with all your nodes/pkgs + colcon as the build sys

Also in Berlin (Wedding, previously Moabit) and Amazon has been very reliable except in some odd cases where it’s delayed by a day. DHL on the other hand is a crapshoot.

I don't have the inclination to hunt for evidence for you. I'm not saying other companies can't do it. But it will be hard because of the capital/scaling/network effect requirements that Amazon has today. This is my

I'm not just talking about money. They can set whatever terms they like with vendors because selling on Amazon is a very attractive business for independent dropshippers etc.

Where are you based? I just talked to a rep on the phone last week about a missing package (EU/DE). I've also had pretty frictionless interactions with CS over chat.

What I mean by their customer service moat is that they can afford to give full refunds at the slightest inconvenience to the customer.

Logistics is definitely Amazon's biggest moat. Second biggest would probably be their customer service.

Not sure why people are downvoting you. Sure, it can seem surprising at first to see string management in the PM side of the Linux kernel. But the advantages of almost-everything-is-a-file are worth it.

> So... phones where a corporation has root are more secure that phones where the owner has root, you say? You're putting words in my mouth that I explicitly rejected when I said "that does not include GrapheneOS". Just t

by jdiez17 2y ago
Hot take: rooted phones are inherently less secure. That does not include GrapheneOS btw, since you don't have root privileges on an official build of GrapheneOS.

It's similar in Germany. I understand that historically AC was absolutely not needed and that there were only a couple of weeks where it was uncomfortably hot. But now it can be multiple months where everyone's productivity clearl

Linux is not as secure as most tech people would assume at first glance. The monolithic kernel with all device drivers in ring0 is, let's just say, not the best approach if one were writing a new OS from scratch. It is mostly "sec
