Reminder that AWS Aurora claims to have broken the CAP theorem. The literature doesn’t clarify whether they are consistent or available, and when you ask AWS directly, they tell you the CAP theorem isn’t relevant due to the way Aurora is bu

It's relatively trivial to have a `FROM scratch` dockerised microservice in Rust. I'm not convinced having an entire OS brings that much to the table.

I’ve designed and installed bespoke industrial cameras running on batteries because running any kind of electrical cable would require recertification of the entire factory floor. I’m not convinced this fibre wouldn’t require recertificatio

Good to know Nykredit behaves the same. Sigh. As long as you declare your gains to SKAT, then your bank should be fine with you taking money in from an exchange. You only declare your gains and losses after you sell your crypto[1]. From a S

Is it DB? Have you been using crypto (did you get a payment from an FTX in the past year?)? Are you also using Lunar? DB regularly goes into scaremongering whenever a client does something they don't like/understand. Using some &q

Make actually has some of the more sensible shortcuts, which are easy to remember $@ -> the target (like an email address) $^ -> the dependencies (look up) $< -> only the first dependency (look up sign, but rotated 90s left to p

There is _a lot_ wrong with Marlin. It is a complex codebase, full with ancient artefacts, litterred with preprocessor ifdefs every 2-3 lines of code, dynamic includes in the middle of CPP files, etc[1]. It's about as unreadable as C++

I didn’t know about this point. Which printer would be closed frame, so I can understand the difference? From what I’ve been able to observe, the quality of the XL is quite good for single tool head prints, however the quality really nosedi

I think Prusa has had a couple of missteps of late, but they’re not in the gutter yet. On the XL: the 0.6mm makes sense with the build volume, to significantly improve print times, but seems to really not work well with the 5 toolhead model

Yeah, but apparently you can’t fathom there are people living outside your country. The person you replied to started his post “as an Englishman”. I wrote “many places around the world”. But you can’t see our points.

That was my point, that’s it BS copy paste content created for Americans, yet it doesn’t apply nearly anywhere.

The problem is that the outrageous tipping policies that you have infect the rest of the world. Good on you for not tipping in places where it’s not expected. Now could you please go fix every travel blog that has bullshit SEO articles on “

I upvoted you as I believe you make a valid point. However, I would assume you were downvoted for your use of “u” and “u r” instead of spelling those words out completely.

I came across an interesting video about this a couple days ago: https://youtu.be/PwQQhQWU3nI tl;dw: it reduces the moving parts from thousands to just a hundred, means that the relatively untrained staff can untangle a few

I just drove 2000km in the last couple days. I have a car with level 2 driver assistance (ADAS). This includes lane assist. I keep my hands on the steering wheel virtually at all times. I say virtually because I might let go for 2-3 seconds

I don’t doubt what you say, but I’m flabbergasted that phone use really is that common. I’ve probably used my phone 5 times while driving in the last two years, and I can’t imagine why anyone would need to do it more than that. I do rely on

Wasn’t there this thing that Google collected a list of SSIDs using their Google Maps cars, and that gave them “good enough” geolocation using passive WiFi scanning, which was much less battery intensive and faster than GPS?

AWS supports multiple U2F keys, I have two on my accounts. The UI is a bit clunky, though. PayPal, on the other hand, only allows a single U2F token.

The author seems to not have heard of hardware tokens to store your MFA. It’s not linked to a single device (you can get your codes on a computer, phone or tablet), it doesn’t require you to be “online”, and you use them for OTP, passkeys a

This makes complete sense to me. Where I live, an overwhelming majority of charging stations are occupied by cars that are plugged in, but no longer charging. Officially, they can stay there indefinitely. The biggest charger network in the

Unlimited PTO is indeed a scam. However, minimum PTO is not. My company (only 1 employee, myself) has a minimum vacation policy of 6 weeks per year. This year, I’ll be using something like 8 weeks in total. Last year, I used 12 weeks. The y

The projection stuff is very useful. The blog post is absolutely right that this brings Rust closer to how you think it should work. Very excited to clean up a bunch of return types.
