Maybe companies, but they are not what should matter. As far as know the amount of poor people in the usa is also way higher than in Europe. If we take that into account i'd say that Europe is doing just fine.

The main thing that i remembered from thread/matter is that vendors can lock out devices and other users hostile stuff. I sure hope plain zigbee is here to stay as having bigtech decide the brand of my in-wall switches are wrong would

The pi is largely undocumented and otherwise proprietary. It's owned by broadcom who are otherwise known for putting everything behind an nda. No, the pi is a lot, but it's not a platform i would bet on to be available in 50 years

No, getting a 100% equivalent working Java system is trivial. But the goal is having something that looks like it was Java from the start not Java as written by a cobol expert. So proper use of classes. Not al globals. Sensible naming etc.

I have the pleasure of supporting a transpiled rpg (system i) to Java codebase. Shit that's come up: almost everything is a global. State machine are used for crud logic which is implicit in the rpg runtime and explicit in the Java cod

The ultimate root of the problem is thinking healthcare works like a bakery: if the bread is too expensive i'll go shopping elsewhere or even choose something else besides bread. This last option is basically off the table in healthcar

by wokkel 3y ago
As I see it, there is no free market when it comes to healthcare: there is no real choice, only choices that we introduce. What i mean is: when I get hit by a bus, i want to be in the nearest hospital asap and don't have the time nor t

Where to begin... If the schema is not there you are in the same position as with receiving some json or yaml: a bad one. Is 20230806 and integer or someones idea of sending a day? Parsing the data into a memory structure is a one liner in

Json is simple, but the common idiom is to read it al at once into memory and forget the difficult stuff (which encoding is this json in anyway). Then don't do the other difficult stuff (is this a string or a date type)... so it's

Regarding security: entity expansion bugs have been fixed long ago. In the other hand: people still use eval() on json objects to parse them. So i don't get that. Json schema: which one? Afaik it's not there and there is no single

People want flying cars and free lunches as well. Logic in config shows a defect in your design, not a feature of the system.

Non technical users are usually sufficiently confused by the git tooling to get to said file..I don't see the point.

Your not alone: it's verboden requiring " around anything that is a string. Commas to separate array elements. It's a technical format without the technical foundation. It's the civil engineering equivalent of building t

At least xml has xpath ;-) the implicit Jason to object mapping has failed me on character encoding (no way to specify that in json). Stupid type errors (date/large numbers).

by wokkel 3y ago
The main reason i avoid any typeless language is dates... how do i represent a date/time including a time zone has been badly reinvented so many times. A string type is never the way to go there in my opinion.

I've done my fair share of systems integrations and the number of teams that did not know xml or have never used it in a professional settings was around 20%. Of those who did use it a staggering amount of people never understood names

Why? I can store it in version control. I can validate if the file has syntax errors or schema errors etc. etc. With a proper platform it's easy to generate or parse. It allows for both hierarchical structures (looking at you .ini). Th

We used to do this back in the day with a tool called human inference: more predictable than an llm.

Maybe, but if everyone starts using heat pumps we have a problem in getting enough copper in the ground everywhere on time. So even if it's temporary (20 years or so) this is still a great solution.

Thats what you get when you let a an effective monopoly be run by baboons.

So we come full circle it seems. Apt update/upgrade already does this and has been doing this for a few years now. So if i drop docker and just run a container with Debian I get this with a few years of testing behind it.

Regarding carbon neutrality: yeah, by using their enourmous capital/pricing power to buy all green power relegating the rest of the country to either use greenwashed grey power or outright grey power. So learning is green, it's ju

What worked for some older think machines (haven't tried it on my thinkpad though) is to update the bios (can be to the same version) and change the serial nr.to all zeroes (the update script asks if you want that). That got rid of the

No it does not: if you google this and restrict the time to before 2021 (the learning cutoff date) you will find the same answer. Without having access to the training data it's impossible to tell what we seeing.

It's pretty well defined for the Netherlands and "making your money" as a legitimate interest could result in a hefty fine. Imho rightfully so.

Uh, using /dev/disk/by-id to assemble a zfs array is pretty standard for zol. I never use device names and shuffling disks has never required any manual intervention on my part. Was this a very old ZoL?

Nobody wanted an arm laptop because it doesn't run windows/existing software. Apple bundles an is and a decent emulator for old software. If they didn't nobody would want it.

MS called SMB 1.0 CIFS. < https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/... > . So it seems windows admins are using the old monikker.

It can catch all kinds of bugs, but you have to ask the correct questions. So it comes down to define what a bug is and the assumptions you use for testing. And therein lies the problem: what constitutes a bug? A function that add two numbe

Unless understand your comment wrong: most older EU banks run their core on mainframe. Sure the webapp to see your account is running on some websphere/j2ee or nowadays maybe even angular server. But that's just a gateway to the r
