I remember Technics used to advertise with amplifiers that used bamboo somewhere in the capacitors? Always wondered if there was actual bamboo in there somewhere and what the electrical effects were...

These american news companies are so goddamn spineless.

I'm really missing something like Cisco DMVPN. A VPN mesh between different routers where all routers have a connection to each other, so that all traffic doesn't have to pass through the hub. And that runs on a router, because all these solutions only run on a regular computer with a complete OS.

points finger you son of a bitch, I'm in.

I'm a big fan of Guava's EventBus. Easy to implement and straightforward to understand. This library does seem to require more setup and I don't see the immediate advantages, also why does it require an instanceProvider? I don't understand what that does.

The point is to not take the whole server down with it. Keeps the other applications working.

Even on desktop it's terrible, I wanted to protect some private keys of a Java application but there is no way to talk to a TPM using Java so handsandshouldersup gesture.

What happened to me is I passed a date to an external library, and then after that library did its work, that date was changed. Super annoying even if you know that it's a mutable object.

What are ICs?

Using the setup wizards isn't the hard part... It's creating them.

I'm still using it to distribute/update production apps and whilst the script language is a bit funky, it works reliably. And the tools work under Linux too, so I can easily integrate a "create setup" step in the CI/CD environment.

Spoken languages are like programming languages, there are the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

Not just shock you across the room, but shock straight into your next life.

I have the feeling that this is much more about control than it is about security.

I have been saying it since the beginning that we are centralizing all the power of the internet to one organization and that this a bad thing, yet I get downvoted every time. One organization is going to have a say on whether or not you can have a website on the internet, how is this objectively a good thing?

We're back in the mainframe times boys, good luck everyone.

You can do request/reply with MQTT too, you just have to implement more bits yourself, whilst NATS has a nice API that abstracts that away for you.

NoSQL is even worse, data gets duplicated and then forgotten, so it doesn't get updated correctly, or somebody names a field "mail" and another person names it "email" and so on...

There is zero guarantee that whatever you ask the database for contains anything valid, so your code gets littered with null and undefined checks, and if you ask for example a field "color" what is it going to contain? A hex value? rgb(), rgba(), integer? So you need to check that too.

In my experience NoSQL is even worse, they are literally data dumps (as in garbage dump).

Every project I've come across that uses an ORM has terrible database design. All columns nullable, missing foreign key indexes, doing things in application code that could easily be done by triggers (fields like created, modified, ...), wrong datatypes (varchar(n) all over the place, just wwwhhhhyyy, floats for money, ...), using sentinel values (this one time, at bandcamp, I came across a datetime field that used a sentinel value and it only worked because of two datetime handling bugs (so two wrongs did make a right) and the server being in the UTC timezone), and the list goes on and on...

I think this happens because ORMs make you treat the database as a dumb datastore and hence the poor schema.

Their MX500 series SSDs were just king of price, performance and reliability. I even installed them in industrial PCs with intense vibrations and large temperature cycles, they're still chugging along like it's nothing.

Fuck it. Let the Americans start another trade war then. This nonsense has been going on long enough, if times need to get tough so be it then, start earlier rather than in 5 years when these misery machines are everywhere and the car arms race is in full effect.

That is a great idea. Would be fun to play on for the kids too.

And we as consumers should also take responsibility and simply not buy these vehicles.

The default for GraphQL queries is POST so maybe they were using that.

It creates a REST API for your SQLite database with some extras.

Would be nice in theory, if MS didn't make Windows 10 and 11 outright disobey group policies.

The lesson is use dumb light switches and have a shotgun ready if the printer starts to act up.

Most of my experience is with MySQL/MariaDB which created foreign key indexes behind your back.

Why are indexes on foreign keys required? If I'm doing a join, it's going to select the primary key of the other table, how will an index on the foreign key help?

I think I'm gonna keep my by now 13 year old car for a LONG time. Nothing is locked down, no complicated gearbox, no electronic parking brake, no remote control, no subscriptions, plenty of room in the engine bay (can even swap utility belt rollers without having to take out the radiator), and it's all mine and nobody else's. Yes it will cost in maintenance but at least I can at least work on it myself if need be without a computer. And by now the car is unattractive anyway, nobody is going to steal it so I don't need to worry too much about it.
