Sounds interesting. Unfortunately not available in my country in the Android app store. I live in The Netherlands. If you're looking for feedback, you might want to double check this :)

But in that case, it won't be subsidized by the manufacturer! I'm sure people would get a cheaper toaster in exchange of an ad being burned in your bread.

Same here, surprised that only you mentioned it here.

Elections are happening soon (April). It's not clear at all Orban will win this round of elections, see e.g. https://apnews.com/article/hungary-orban-magyar-rival-rallie...

Curious to how well LLM's work in this context! (mentioned as one of the reasons to embed CAD in Rust) I only know of another text -> STL AI model, I'm quite a bit more excited about this idea. Does someone have experience with

Nice! You might want to fix your GitHub link in the footer though, it 404's for me right now :)

How much VRAM would this require, if I would want to run this locally? I bought a 12GB Nvidia card a year ago. In general I'm having a hard time to find the actual required hardware specs for any self hosted AI model. Any tips/sug

Ah, 5x? At $WORK, the low code tool vendor that is used to build the monolith (and that of our sister company) is bought by a private equity firm. Our sister company will face a 7x increase. Another fun thing is that the license is based on

Yep. I do create fresh db's from a fixture db using postgres's ability to create a database from a template. Very quick, always correct.

Wow. In the EU, canceling subscriptions must be as easy as signing up for them by law. My personal longest issue with ISP's was when the software config once went wrong in their side, took me a month and allmost daily phone calls until

Which tool did you use to create that busy_spec.html file? They remind me of Engelbart's blue numbering system for documents, if I remember the name correctly.

Very nice! I talked (~10y ago) at a Nix meetup to a company that did over the air updates of bicycle shed usage signs in NL that ran on embedded linux systems. One of their bigger challenges was that their downlink quota was very limited. I

IMHO the constraints of these systems make them still quite fun to code for, just like solving sudoku puzzles can be fun. I found about this [1] amazing live coding session by lftkyro on YouTube showing how to build a live music pattern edi

TIL that self-updating mobile apps are a thing. It is quite surprising to me that the app store gatekeepers don't force all app changes through their vetting process! Has this always been the case, or is this a new development?

Seems interesting. I can't decipher from the docs nor demo if this is about debugging _live_ behavior of the systems under observation, (e.g. it only captures stuff for which there are queries), or if it actually stores all your reques

Wow, that's quite different from the Netherlands. Here, we have the BAG, Basis Administratie Gebouwen (Base Administration Buildings). Muniplicities are the data owners, but data is also collated nationally. See [0] for a viewer of thi

Next to getting an (electronic) sit/standing desk, consider getting a treadmill that you can shove under your desk, if you have the space. I don't use it every day, not even every week, but some weeks I'm walking all day. I g

For me, deadlines work best if more people than me have a stake in the thing I'm working on.

As a motorcycle drivers myself, I think that the obsession of my fellow drivers with producing loud noises is childish. I really enjoy the acceleration though (when it's safe to e.g. accelerate away from a traffic light or when getting

Same in Dutch: "nar". Hofnar means court jester, which is a more well known word.

Well, Tanenbaum retired in 2014 [1], so the book probably won't get updated anymore. [1] http://www.few.vu.nl/~ast/afscheid/

The original author is Dutch. In Dutch, "niks" (same pronunciation as Nix), actually means "nothing". His nickname is niksnut, which means "good-for-nothing".

If you ever visit Amsterdam for some time, and like to visit musea, check out Micropia [0]. It is a museam where they exhibit microbes, that you can explore using microscopes. [0] https://www.micropia.nl/en/

It's what you're used to. Cups and gallons are confusing to me! In some of my Dutch cook book, there are mentions of cups. But mostly as a relative unit; add one cup of X, two cups of Y. For absolute amounts, the metrics system ju

The author has a whole video series on restoring this particular mini-computer. I really enjoyed watching them all, as he clearly explains all the obstackles that he encounters, and how he navigated them. The contagious bursts of laughter a

Ugh. Doesn't raise the trust in their competence of protecting admin access credentials to GitHub. The same mindset leads to "We use just one shared ssh cert, because it is easier. And our VPN solution is a 2nd factor in any case&

Hm, using Apache APISIX for DDoS protection on a single node? That won't really stop a real DDoS. Not much you can do on a single server, if a botnet is saturating the network links to your server(s), without help from your infra provi

Awesome! I built something like this for $JOB-1 too. Unfortunately didn't get to open source this before I left. I built in an a mechanism for policy checks too, e.g. to check that only an allowed list of repositories was public, and t
