I suppose the trick is knowing when to trust their judgement. The customer isn't always wrong, and often has a lot of context you'll never fully understand. "Show me why you need this" can sometimes help, but not always

Somewhat in the same space, I saw an interesting stackoverflow post[1] about how to generically retrieve a single file from git. Apparently since git version 1.7.9.5, you can do this: git archive --remote=ssh://host/path

Shells and their aversion to null characters was my first introduction to Perl way back when. Tcl, at the time, couldn't handle null characters either. Various Awk implementations had different issues with them. Python didn't yet

It's a hard topic to discuss sometimes because low-code means different things to different people. There's a space, for example, where it mostly just replaces spreadsheets on a shared drive (or being emailed around). And there&

Very cool. Support for manipulating the headers that are output would be nice on the TODO list.

I wonder if some of that is because many off the shelf dynamic templates do the current year thing so that end users (initially) see the correct date. Sort of cargo culting from that pattern?

The shift registers are still there on the passive panels, that's the end bit...I was talking about the controller that drives the image to the panels. It sends one row at a time, to one panel...the panels are daisy chained. So, if y

Ah, yeah, I missed the 'addressable' bit, so they aren't a passive matrix. Fooled by the 32x8 module, last I saw they were all single row strips or strings.

If you want varying brightness, good refresh rates, etc, no...they don't do well with a passive matrix display. Examples you can find with slower MCUs are sacrificing duty cycle, or brightness control, single color, etc.

These kind of projects are cool to me because they are a sort of blend of retro and modern. In that MCUs only got fast enough fairly recently to do this sort of thing well. All those older low resolution led scrolling signs you used to see

I like anveo.com, it's $2/month if you use the "free" plan and a $2/month US number. The UI is kind of dated, but the US phone number accepts incoming SMS, and they offer a drag/drop IVR type interface where y

Not so much for the seed box, but the hosted plex (or whatever) server with the various pieces and parts (things like sonarr, radarr, bazaar for subtitles, etc.) The seed box providers tend to offer these also, but I don't know what t

Meanwhile, the usability of pirate tools is improving. There's a number of "seed box" providers that put a decent management UI on top of the various pieces you need. And ways to see what's trending (or search the cata

There's a lot that rings true here, but the article keeps noting that the IBM PC won partially because it was cheap. That's only true versus the examples the authors cite. In the business space, it was pretty expensive when comp

Interesting. The "minimum F/A's required: 5" sticker suggests it's a pretty big plane that holds around 250 passengers. So it probably happens less often on smaller planes.

The bank switching seems to provide a similar thing though.

They missed the thing with storage. Android makes it difficult to route pictures and videos anywhere other than Google photos. Which pretty quickly fills up your free 15GB storage quota. It then nags for paid storage. Technically savvy f

When I ask my non-techie friends about stuff like this, they really don't care anymore unless they actually get hacked, scammed, etc. It happens so often that there's now "breach fatigue". Meaning little pressure on c

There's also the brain drain aspect. All the process engineers and techs that understood all the various "recipes", quirks, etc, of the various machines moved on to other work. A new crew will eventually work it out, but the

It looks like you can disable the slower randomized hashing yourself by setting PYTHONHASHSEED to 0. Though I don't know if there's further speedup to be had by using a different hash implementation. https://docs.pytho

I get the feeling that the plan to keep that from just being lots of people in poverty takes longer to evolve than the AI does to take the jobs. Edit: For the replies, yes, things adjust. It's not, however, instantaneous.

Of course, I can't prove it, but the search results on Google look like they tried to win the spam wars with some variation of page rank that's skewed by "big brand power". Like they have some seed list of trusted brand

Or, they could research the business climate and laws in a country before establishing a presence. Then feel free to buck established practice, but at least know the potential consequences.

I think the real underlying cause is the explosion of garbage that gets crawled. Google initially tried to use AI to find "quality" content in the pile. It feels like they gave up and decided to use the wrong proxies for quality

I guess you could argue nanny cam for when the kid is being bathed, but of course, that's not the only activity it would monitor.
