jensenbox··on Barcodes are about to go extinct
Except there are mandates like FSMA 204 that make them required.

The standard URL format can also be encoded into RFID tags.

This is likely where things will head as printing serialized products is slow, cumbersome and is fraught with issues due to smearing, resolution etc.. and the reason you mentioned.

I knew when I posted I would be walking into a hornets nest (HN)

I am actually looking for feedback if they are giving it.

My hope was to help spread information about the upcoming changes to packaging but knew I might get the stings of criticism.

jensenbox··on Barcodes are about to go extinct
Thank you for the feedback. Any suggestions on what you would change?
jensenbox··on Barcodes are about to go extinct
I agree. My focus has been on getting the product functional and compliant with the standards.

Not denying what it is.

Any suggestions on how to unslup it are always welcome.

I am the creator of https://www.closient.com/ - a GS1 Digital Link Resolver (still building it, be gentle).

I have been deep into this space for a fair bit of time now. The real power is in Recalls and Return Fraud. There a ton of other nice things that this will empower of course. AMA - I will do my best to answer.

For some other stuff to read about how they can help have a poke at https://blog.closient.com/

Not advertising - just trying to get the word out on 2D codes and RFID and what they provide consumers.

For those saying "Why not something else?" - it comes down to adoption - QR was just the more popular winner. While the register/till is where most of the scanning is happening the QR is just a normal URL and consumer can scan them.

jensenbox··on Everything that's wrong with Google Search in one image
Too bad I cannot zoom into the image in my phone. Even tapping on it does not enable me to really see it much larger.

jensenbox··on Resurrecting a dead torrent tracker and finding 3M peers
As far as I am aware, there are legitimate uses for this technology.
jensenbox··on Ruby on Rails Audit Complete
Is there a place where I can pay to fund a Django audit? I would gladly contribute.
jensenbox··on Track Errors First
We use Datadog and Sentry because their mechanism of interaction and retention are different - if Datadog changed their process to be closer to the way Sentry aggregates errors over time I can see us never needing Sentry again.
jensenbox··on 4-7-8 Breathing
Same - I kept holding and holding. I am now writing this from my grave.
jensenbox··on Track Errors First
I love Sentry but it has become a bit over-the-top complicated as of late (for my taste).

Glad to see one more on the market. I only knew about GlitchTip prior to today.

Just saw a BugBytes video for a new one that might be interesting - https://devdojo.com/pines
jensenbox··on Design System Options for Rails
I am curious - why is Bootstrap not on the list?
jensenbox··on Dockerfmt: A Dockerfile Formatter
I had a chuckle when I looked at the source code and could not find a Dockerfile in there. I want to kick the tires on it and the easiest way would be to run it as a Docker container against an existing file and alas, I cannot.
jensenbox··on Show HN: FastOpenAPI – automated docs for many Python frameworks
Why are you looking for an alternative to Django Ninja? What about it is deficient for you? Curious because I am about to use it.
jensenbox··on PackagePhobia – Find the cost of adding a new dev dependency to your project
I agree 100% - this needs to be renamed if it is not agnostic.
jensenbox··on Surgery implants tooth material in eye as scaffolding for lens
Brings new meaning to "eye tooth" - amirite?
jensenbox··on Docker limits unauthenticated pulls to 10/HR/IP from Docker Hub, from March 1
While not a great solution you can set one of these up on your network: https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/image-library/mirror/#sol...

A giving person could also set one of these up publicly facing and share it out.
