radus··on Windows 11: Just say no
Yeah, I’m generally tolerant of UI redesigns, I was fine with Windows 8 even, but lack of “never combine” is a bummer :(
radus··on PipeWire: A server for Linux audio and video streams
Not sure if this is what you’re looking for but I use Snapcast to stream from a record player to anywhere on the network [1]. Snapweb [2] works really well but has some issues on iOS currently. Some alternative clients are listed on the main repo [3].

radus··on Logging in Python Like a Pro
This was easily the best article on logging in Python that I've come across. Ticks all the boxes:

- uses dictConfig, which I much prefer over the alternatives since it is declarative

- explains every aspect of logging config: handlers, filters, loggers

- explains what to log and why

radus··on Docker Desktop no longer free for large companies
Wow great rec!
radus··on I use Attrs instead of Pydantic
Pedantic has a validate_arguments decorator that while in beta, I think does what you want: https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/usage/validation_decorat...
radus··on Google is shutting down its Android Auto mobile app in favor of Google Assistant
I’ve down light research into this and I think it’s possible to maintain all that integration. Might be preferable to have a professional installer do it though.
radus··on Automating a Software Company with GitHub Actions
These are both great tips, thank you!
radus··on Time to retire the CSV?
Would DuckDB (https://duckdb.org/) work as your file format with enforced column types?
radus··on Slow Electricity: The Return of DC Power? (2016)
Doing more manual chores is the opposite of debloating IMO.
radus··on Panel 0.12.0 Release
I'm evaluating different python dashboard libraries and thought this release of Panel was cool since it includes a new ReactiveHTML class that is a little reminiscent of React/Vue.

radus··on Alphafold
Very cool! Great to see this competition between academia and industry yielding improvements on all fronts.
radus··on Django Ninja
Thank you for the reply!
radus··on Alphafold
Yes, it is still useful. Even structures obtained through traditional means (eg. x-ray crystallography) are approximations to an extent since there are limits to the resolution that you can obtain and oftentimes regions of proteins are "disordered". Additionally, these structures are only snapshots of a protein in a particular state, which may not completely reflect the dynamics of the protein in its native environment.
radus··on Alphafold
Kind of disagree with this.. solving protein structures is not the rate limiting step in drug discovery or in biochemical assays -- not by a long shot. See this excellent comment by @dekhn on a related submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27849046
radus··on Django Ninja
I'm looking into adding some sort of REST API layer to a Django app and I've been reading some negative things about Django Rest Framework (DRF), which is the default choice for this functionality in Django-world. This project is inspired by FastAPI and is potentially a lighter weight alternative to DRF and I'm wondering if HNers have experience with it and/or DRF.

My hunch is that it's probably better to stay with the Django way of doing things (DRF), in spite of the online chatter calling it bloated.

radus··on Introducing Windows 11
Especially considering that it's still somehow pretty bad at finding things that you know are there.
radus··on 21st Century Baker's Tent
Yes, please! Also curious about preferences for other related equipment - backpacks etc.
radus··on Third member of U.S. FDA advisory panel resigns over Alzheimer’s drug approval
This would likely lead to a pharmaceutical landscape that is more like the supplements industry -- no thank you.
radus··on Replit used legal threats to kill my open-source project
> similarly petty decision to spend hours documenting everything to post on HN and start throwing mud in public.

As someone else pointed out earlier in the thread, he kinda asked for it:

> It is unethical and would be obviously so to outside observers as well. Feel free to consult your mentors or people with more experience than you in the industry.

Seems like outside observers mostly don't agree.

radus··on Show HN: Wg-easy] Easy to setup, all-in-one WireGuard and Management Web UI
This looks awesome, thanks for sharing!
radus··on Is 6 feet far enough?
In summary: no

radus··on Programming is hard
Today we're renovating an apartment. Tomorrow, maybe we'll want to build it into the Burj Khalifa.
radus··on What's New in SQLite 3.35
Awesome! SQLite, from my perspective at least is feature-complete! Anyone else have any notable missing features?
radus··on Git's list of banned C functions
Best of both worlds: use static analysis to ensure the header is included?
radus··on Share of U.S. workers holding multiple jobs is rising
I can see how you may read it that way, but I did not state that the US does not have any social safety nets - that would be as you pointed out, obviously false. To re-iterate, my point was that the US lacks very expansive social safety nets such as those present in Nordic countries, some of which were enumerated by cambalache. Were the US to adopt some of those policies, perhaps the minimum wage would be less important.
radus··on Share of U.S. workers holding multiple jobs is rising
Those same countries have very expansive social safety nets that are non-existent in the US.
radus··on Migrating to SQLAlchemy 2.0
The description of the new direction for 2.0 sounds great, but as someone who isn't using SQLAlchemy currently (I prefer peewee) I'd be curious to see what it looks like without the assumption that I'm migrating from a previous version. I guess that's not yet fully settled?
radus··on Sonobus: Open-source app for low latency peer-to-peer audio
That makes sense - I believe by default snapcast has a 1000ms buffer.

I wonder if you can't grab the latency correction factor from snapcast in real-time, and somehow apply it to you video stream as well? This has been raised before it seems [1], and in another issue, the snapcast author recommends looking at RTP based streaming instead of snapcast [2].

Seems like snapcast may not be ideal for this after-all :)

radus··on Changes to LastPass Free
This is a valid criticism for sure. I suppose the only truly cross platform options is KeeWeb but you give up some features, mostly on mobile, eg. fingerprint unlock: https://github.com/keeweb/keeweb/issues/1132.
