No, on-chain transaction fees aren't higher than the cost of a coffee. They're currently around $0.15 per transaction - cheaper than typical credit card processing fees. Plus, you could always build an off-chain transaction system

You only need to get it right once, and from then on the compiler will catch any mistakes if you use it incorrectly. In contrast, every time you write obj.get_attr("DesiredSpeed"), there's a chance you'll make a typo and

Why? It's much more verbose and error prone (e.g. "stringly typed"). Do you never deserialize JSON?

Cellular modems and data plans can be expensive and unreliable. If you can do without, at the cost of very rarely being out of sync (like in your scenario), it can be considered an interesting tradeoff. Plus, even if they were equipped with

Ironically, I could’ve read all 50 pages of that RFC and still missed the actual issue. What really helped was RFC 1331[0], specifically the "Async-Control-Character-Map" section. That said, I’m building a product - not a PPP driv

Not sure if that's what you mean but Claude Code has a /compact command which gets triggered automatically when you exceed the context window. The prompt it uses: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comment

Recently, Gemini helped me fix a bug in a PPP driver (Zephyr OS) without prior knowledge of PPP or even driver development really. I would copy-paste logs of raw PPP frames in HEX and it would just decode everything and explain the meaning

I'm currently developing firmware that supports both Bluetooth and cellular connection for a hardware device. With proper cryptography, you don't have to trust the random stranger (e.g. using TLS). In fact, you can get away with n

1) It's possible they do not have an Internet connection. In fact, it doesn't seem necessary. 2) Bluetooth can ensure that you are in proximity of the locker, otherwise you could accidentally unlock a locker while standing at the

It feels like everyone and their mother is building coding agents these days. Curious how this compares to others like Cline, VS Code Copilot's Agent mode, Roo Code, Kilo Code, Zed, etc. Not to mention those that are closed source, CLI

I can see a derelict grid and wildfires increasing power outages but how does it increase the cost of electricity itself?

I guess I should have said that it has access to all your code. But I think it tries to be smart about which files it reads depending on the task at hand.

I use Claude Code (cli tool) and it's on another level. Not even comparable to code autocomplete à la Copilot or copy/pasting into a LLM chat app. It knows about your whole code base, can use external tools, read documentation, ru

Energy Star, as a matter of fact, is almost entirely privately run. Certification is voluntary and testing/verification is done by private labs. Replace government by some industry consortium or non-profit and not much as changed.

There's no doubts tariffs will make everything more expensive but I don't see how shutting down this program would affect costs. Plus, a private certification program could easily fill in the void.

I generally view it as bad practice unless you are very confident you will need it soon. There's actually a term for this principle: YAGNI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_aren%27t_gonna_need_it

If left on auto pilot, it will sometimes get frustrated with bugs and start "cheating" in various ways (e.g. unsafe type casting, commenting out code/tests, etc.).
