franknord23··on Future euro banknote design proposals
I love that design D shows the individual bird's songs, though it isn't integrated in the design very well.
franknord23··on Gliderboy Reinvents Humble Weather Balloon with Flight Home
Meanwhile, most (all?) weather agencies don't even ask for sondes to be returned if you find one.

So i guess the demand isn't immediate, but maybe this allows more pricey sensors to be carried.

franknord23··on DeepSeek reasonix, DeepSeek native coding agent with high caching and low cost
That sounds like the experience of writing Containerfiles; since steps are cached you want to pull the thing you are iterating on as far down as possible.
franknord23··on Space Age release date
Hmm, looks like some Hacker News mod did not like this post :/

(title was edited (OK, it was not strictly following the rules) and post moved to bottom of the front page)

franknord23··on Space Age release date
Starting in a forest/grassland area will give you more time until the biters come.

Or just play in peaceful mode, there is still so much good gameplay left even without the challenge of biters.

franknord23··on Space Age release date
If you want to pass the time until October, i would recommend the Ultracube: Age of Cube mod [0]. It does not stretch out the base game with additional tedious steps, instead it gives a big twist to what you knew about factories. Here is a good let's play introduction to the early game: [1]

I am debating whether i should take time off work. Though the release date may still slip by a week or more, i guess.
franknord23··on Systemd: Enable indefinite service restarts
I believe this allows you to have cascading restart strategies, similar to what can be done in Erlang/OTP: Only after the StartLimit= has been reached, systemd considers the service as failed. Then services that have Required= set on the failed service will be restarted/marked failed as well.

I think you can even have systemd reboot or move the system into a recovery mode (target) if an essential unit does not come up. That way, you can get pretty robust systems that are highly tolerant to failures.

(Now after reading `man systemd.unit`, i am not fully sure how exactly restarts are cascaded to requiring units.)

Found this through a heise.de article: https://www.heise.de/hintergrund/Sensor-an-der-ISS-kartiert-...

franknord23··on AMD CPU Use Among Linux Gamers Approaching 70% Marketshare
Don't buy nvidia. The driver situation is terrible.
franknord23··on “Exit traps” can make your Bash scripts more robust and reliable (2013)
I wish Bash had 'defer' like Go.
franknord23··on In Erlang/OTP 27, +0.0 will no longer be exactly equal to -0.0
IIRC division by zero throws an exception.
franknord23··on EV adoption in US is happening faster than predicted
With mass adoption of EVs and the further move to solar power, charging during the day is the sensible. Which mostly means chargers at workplaces.

(Not saying we don't need charging close to appartments at all, but workplace charging can alleviate some of it.)

It can encrypt for expired keys.

franknord23··on 'Mutable' Torrents Proposal Makes BitTorrent More Resilient
The situation is somewhat similar to Certificate Authorities. CAs are trusted at differing degrees and also have to watch out not to get their root certificate stolen.
franknord23··on 'Mutable' Torrents Proposal Makes BitTorrent More Resilient
Can torrents actually share chunks? Because otherwise when downloading a large 'mutable' torrent which is often changed slightly one couldn't use all possible peers.
franknord23··on Aphantasia: A life without mental images
I'm probably similar. I can easily picture objects' outlines, wireframe style, even when they quickly rotate.

But colors are almost impossible. Also I don't “see” light.
