OK so basically making up shit that the author likes and occasionally linking to irrelevant (and bogus) study in the hope nobody will bother reading it. Flagged.

Sure I'm not saying that. If you give away the R&D for free and don't seek profit you can build it much cheaper. But self-calibrating is still something else. Unless I pay some lab with traceable calibration to do it for me I

This is very nice, but most of that $10k probably pays for certification that you won't get for DIY. Great for hobbyist, but you couldn't sell it for $9500 profit.

Neat! To anyone who expects to be working in IT in 15 years, here's a tip: take a long vacation for the whole January 2023, enjoy a rest and come back when most of the annoying problems are already solved.

The states are numbered, $\alpha_0, ..., \alpha_N$ and $\beta_0, ...$. You might be missing the font for the digits.

RCS is E2EE: https://support.google.com/messages/answer/10262381?hl=en Though it can fall back to SMS in case you don't have data, which isn't E2EE. I'm not sure what the UX flow is like in that cas

Zurich also does free recycling center and water treatment facility tours. There is also a nuclear power plant tour, but of course they don't let you near the interesting bits in that one. https://www.zuerich.com/en&#x2

Yeah almost every nonfiction book is like this which makes me hate reading them (plus half the stuff in psychology/behavioral economics books is unreplicated fabulation). Small subthread derailment - nonfiction books which are worth th

Exactly the same FB marketplace when buying expensive item in person (to make sure it works). Edit: I feel the need to add that cryptocurrencies are stupid, but policing legal activity in appstore is going too far.

Emergency stop signal should be easy to send when it is needed. Most trains have a emergency brake lever inside which is also very easy to abuse, but is there for safety. It is better to enforce harsh penalties for abuse.

Measuring dry ingredients by volume is like a recipe brown M&M, at that point you know the recipe is bad and you should look for another one.

I'm sorry but if some political games bring someone to terror attacks that's on them. Creating outrage is despicable but it is nothing compared to actual physical harm. If you can't handle your fairytale book being burned you

It's siloed that if one is down others are not affected as long as enough other replicas are healthy to keep the quorum. You always need cross-AZ traffic, otherwise your data is single homed (which we used to call "your data doesn

Usually in distributed strongly consistent and durable systems, data is not considered committed until it has been persisted in multiple replicas. So if one goes down nothing is lost, but capacity and durability is degraded.

The other bit is separating the service into isolated cells so issues in one don't affect dependent services everywhere like they had experienced before. But yeah any good SRE could point this out years ago.

I keep hearing this argument which makes no sense. I guess it comes from Tesla marketing because they keep repeating that and it rubs off? On technical level two sensors are clearly better than one even if you just pick one in case of disag

That would be ideal. F-Droid on android can do this: https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Reproducible_Builds/ However there is still one advantage of even appstor: They have to push the backdoored version to everyone
