A grow-house is not cheap; harvesting labor is cheap. Once we've got better harveting bots GH/HP/V-Grow will make a lot more sense.

clever implementation of a try/catch like thing in bash. If my scripts get that complicated I usually up-scale the code to $LANG_IN_FASHION_AT_WORK

Above reads "pg did write somewhere"; the links provided are somewhere.

hahaa; wow. So, we were doing this sensor project; and I picked "boring" things like raspberry-pi, python scripts, wiring the GPIO with a screw-down terminal or using SDR for other off-the shelf sensors to build the network. And in one of the demos showing our very low-budget type project a reviewer said: "you should look at IoT managers like the G offering, we're using it". So, they declined to use our methods and built their own around G-IoT. It's important to "own" what you can in your stack otherwise this vendor-driven-churn is forced on you and is outside a schedule you control. Sure, 365 days is a lot of time to migrate -- which, IME, leads to "we can fix this later" which then leads to "oh crap!"

Yea, they be laughing at how that fool hits a J.

I use a delta-log table, so each INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on objects I care about are captured (via trigger) -- but that one has to get date partitioned. So in my system a DELETE statement (and DELETE CASCADE) work as expected -- any history has to be discovered from the logs

Well that Adidas_web3 account is already gone. Maybe that is progress?

Isn't the context the link to the EDGAR documents?

To over simplify: it's the trick of a illusionist; look over there! Something interesting (now switch the rabbit for the dove or whatever). So while GenPop is looking at this noisy deal; he's able to shuffle around money in three(?) ways -- where the net result is to reduce the TSLA holdings w/o too much penalty (or somethign). I'm not smart or rich enough to fully understand. The logic is distraction to execute a big dollar amount shift in equity positions.

More than one financial analysit/money manager has floated this idea in our circle. It seems reasonalble; an pointing to the last time he sold a bunch (11B?) and told everyone it was to pay his taxes. They seem to think it was to just convert some high-risk (TSLA) to low risk (Cash, etc).

And Mod; hope he gets three cheques

Should just merge this all into systemd-bgp-dns; kill all the birds with one stone.

Took a little break ;) Played some Rocket League

It's poorly written legislation (surprise!) and seems to be dancing around the different types of cannabinoids (d9-THC, d8-THC, d10-THC, etc). While the bill is trying to move forward on the guise of consumer protection this poorly construction legislation won't actually do that. It's really time to start treating this product and the various cannabinoids (natural and synthetic) like we treat alcohol & tobacco.

The government is also giving away 1,000,000 plants:

The subjective part is "look good". I've sent at least a dozen small business to Squarespace and helped them get it tuned -- the look has always been "good enough" for them to move on to real business problems. It gets their information into Google (et al), provides the domain to link to from their IG, FB, Twitter, etc, etc -- so those traffic sources resolve to their own main truth.

One 300ml coffee in the AM while reading news and handling first emails. I prefer a different chemical for my "in the zone" type coding projects.

I don't think it would have any material effect on my job; neither is required. One just makes the coding process a little more fun -- and keeps my brain from wandering off to the next shiny thing.

Many States in the USA have implemented a "track-and-trace" program for their cannabis. The States use this information for enforcement. These programs have many bugs -- observable/repeatable bugs. Then enforcement uses the data from the buggy software to cite businesses for failures of their "track-and-trace" requirements. (eg: the system magically restores weight to zero-weight lots, or marks dead trees as alive).

In Washington State they started with BioTrackTHC; couldn't share the code cause it's a proprietary and a security risk; however they were dumping parts of the database as CSVs so folk could check that (and confirm some bugs!). Then WA switched to LeafData (MJ Freeway) and wouldn't share that code either; continued to share similar data-dumps. Now WA has moved to just uploading CSVs to the State system in code they wrote themselves -- and still won't share the code (and now are doing even less to share the data).

It's frustrating when viable open source solutions exist and are actively ignored by the State agencies (we were blocked from even participating in workgroups about the future of T&T (which don't really matter, they didn't even follow the recommendations of their own workgroups))

I think, after this change and Musk's chatter about "free speech" things; there will be steps that Twitter becomes a more cannabis friendly advertising platform -- before Meta(FB,IG) and Google become 420 friendly.

No! a) these aren't the THC types so you won't get high and b) the hemp is a collector, so the nasty stuff would be in the tree.

This material is for industrial hemp, making rope and fabric and things.

Will you bank businesses related to cannabis but that don't touch cannabis?

Also, your 'Verify' email still has a bunch of default template text in it.

""This is preheader text. Some clients will show this text as a preview.""

-- Root/Entity & Beneficial Owner form has some ambigious error messages; doesn't show where what is wrong (eg: which of the three addresses was bad?) -- and the message disappears before it can be acted on.

With postgres you'll want to tune those cost paramters however. Eg: lowering the random page cost will change how the planner does things on some queries. But don't just blindly change it -- like modify the value and run the benchmark again. The point is that the SSD is not 10x the cost of RAM (0.1 vs 1.0). In our example a few queries the planner move to, what I always assumed was the slower sequential scan -- but it's only slower depending on your table size (how tall and how wide). I mean, PG works awesome w/o tweaking that stuff but if you've got a few days to play with these values it's quite educational.

The Stripe part is baked into the GitHub Sponsors. So while we qualify for one, we are blocked because of the dependency on Stripe.

My industry does not have wide support for crypto payments (which is a surprise); it's still difficult to turn it back into USD (eg: crypto.com, coinbase.com don't allow it).

We do accept some crypto payments but it mostly stays in the crypto space; until get to pay someone else that takes it. It's a PITA for taxes however.

In USA our payments are handled by typical banks/providers (except the one mentioned here). It's not like we're totally blocked.

This is very awesome! Well done! Seeing how these sponsors can have success like this is inspiring; just wish we weren't blocked (by Stripe) from going this route :(

How is weed at work the latest issue? There's been obvious stoned workers writing code since at least 1997. I've seen it at pre-IPO startsups (c2000), small regional businesses (c2003), banks (c2008), IaaS providers, Economic Research, Investment Managers.

Lest my username give it away...it's a litle more common and open in my current space. But new tech-keeps flooding into the reefer-space..."the green rush".

You likely caught grey-text flu because TFA doesn't mention the word "censorship" at all. Perhaps you're on the wrong thread?

I'm in the cannabis space; but don't touch green-product. Google doesn't like cannabis business. Some of my competitors (somehow) are able to advertise on the Google platform. And I almost got my whole company kicked out of our Google eco-system (Workplace, Cloud) for even trying to put an ad for our business in there.

But we have a contact there, cause we're paying clients on Workspace (Email, Drive, etc). So, didn't get kicked off hooray -- but then asked about how/why can others advertise their cannabis-related businesses but we cannot. "We'll get back to you..."

And I know, from at least one competitor (cause we're friendly, small industry), their ad-spend was not very much (ie: USD $2500/mo). Another friendly competior got their account banned (but it was a throw-away gmail account).

It's frustrating when the algo picks/chooses winners/losers and it still seems pretty ad-hoc/random. What permits one cannabis-related business but blocks another? Shouldn't an algo be consistent?

The $800 was just an example number. In some cases I've asked "how much to get you to just pair-program with me using your library for four hours" then our business is concluded. It's a deal that I felt would be very low hassle -- however, I guess the supply-side didn't think so. (for reference I've been coding and consulting around open-source stack for like 20+ years). I've been on both sides of these cut-and-dry type of deals.

However, the more common scenario when consulting -- and I'm sure many are nervous about this type of play-out -- is the client drags the deal on and on and on...and argues about the price...and pays late...and has endless change requests...and is surpirse that ECRs cost money...and needs just one more meeting about $THING..and...and...and.

I've always assumed that's why we've been rejected...how can someone tell we're NOT LIKE 90% of the consulting buyers and mostly know what we're doing and have a straight-forward deal?

We work like this and it's OK, not perfect but OK

For folks in our industry that are not using our software (they are using of the closed-source competitors) we are able to show alternatives and still have conversations with operations folks about methods, ideas and other non-technical methods for businesss-process-automation.

We've also got a segment of customers, they are paying us maintainers to basically do the install and a crash-course for the in-house development teams.

We've even been able to work with some groups who "just wanted to prototype some ideas around our platform" -- which sounded like custom-development right? So, naturally we just bill for the time -- like regular old consulting business. Because our core offering is FOSS we've had a few folks push back "I thought the software was free". Oh it is...however, our time spent with you at your behest is not.

Oddly, I've found some other FOSS projects that I wanted to get some help with -- and led with "I'll pay you to pair-program with me for like four hours and answer my dumb questions" -- I was surprised to be turned down: "we don't want to make this commercial, just file a bug" -- do you want a new bug or do you want $800?

Sometimes it's tough to get folk to understand that our FOSS thing needs money to survive and that free-software is not the same as free-consulting. And another side is that some FOSS folk are actively pushing money away.

The sources are, um, not high quality.
