blumomo··on Surface Laptop review: Microsoft's best MacBook Air competitor yet
“Great Linux machine” was my first thought, too. But if we can install our favorite OS, then this machine isn’t worth anything to me.
blumomo··on Chat Control Must Be Stopped – Now
Those not yet brain washed voters do actually care.

But then there are the „Wahlhelfer“ who openly proud themselves in Twitter to invalidate votes for parties they disagree with.

This is democracy?

blumomo··on Chat Control Must Be Stopped – Now
> Then why did so many vote extremist anti EU?

Is the EU really a benefit to the people? Or is it a shit pool full of scum bags providing quite some damage to societies?

blumomo··on How to fix bugs in 24 hours or less
Read „DoIt“ all the time as long as I read the entire article from top to bottom. But when I browsed to their homepage the font was different and I finally read Dolt with L, instead of DoIt, as in do-it. Ups.
blumomo··on Ask HN: Getting Facebook Business Support
Cameroonian SMBs still run heavily on real paper, including writing invoices for customers. I’ve moved all of these processes into a Whatsapp chat assistant, allowing to control all aspects of sales, post sales, accounting, CR, HR, stock management, documents exchange, etc. into an app which is already heavily used here: WhatsApp.

blumomo··on Push ifs up and fors down
I wrongly assumed this article was about readability and maintainability, two high cost factors if five poorly.

But I was wrong, here’s the motivation on “push fors up”:

> The primary benefit here is performance. Plenty of performance, in extreme cases.

blumomo··on Flawless – Durable execution engine for Rust
Thanks, that would solve it! Their „workflows“ provide a nice abstraction. Though I’d rather like to not include an external service.

Imagine a simpler implementation for me where any earlier called subfunction would simply return the previous result, up to the point where the function was previously interrupted. Therefore these previous return values need to be stored (in what temporal calls a workflow), i.e. in a database. Sounds simple enough and decorators would probably help designing a good abstraction and keeping everything self-documenting and simple enough to understand.

blumomo··on Lichee Console 4A: Mini Laptop with a RISC-V Processor and 7 inch display
MacBook Air 11“ from 2015 (last model) is still strong enough for me to do multi service docker compose local dev with various languages and databases. Big enough and powerful enough to also join video calls with multiple participants. Running Ubuntu/PopOS.
blumomo··on Flawless – Durable execution engine for Rust
I have wanted something similar for Python: where the execution of a function will be interrupted (i.e. via a dedicated exception) and then I can rerun it to the very same point it previously halted while none of prior side effects occur and the previous state within that function gets restored.

While I have an idea how to implement it, now after having read the article and comments here, how is this concept called? Does an implementation for Python exist already?

blumomo··on Before he was the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski was a mind-control test subject
People have been called out and framed „Conspiracy Theorists“ (CT) for saying, years ago, that those government programs are one of the causes of amok runs in the US, repeatedly killing innocent people, i.e. in schools.

Is it now allowed to talk openly about MKUltra, CIA involvement and amok runs? Or do CTs still need to hide, even after media outlets like Washing Post write about that, conforming its existence?

blumomo··on Show HN: Find the most climate friendly meeting location
It’s not the one time meetings that are a problem. It’s a problem when it becomes a habit to fly super regularly, on a daily or weekly basis. Picking climate friendly locations for a one off meeting has close to zero impact.

Why in 2023 people still believe that C19 mRNA prevents infecting others? This myth has long been classified as wrong (unlike advertised in the beginning of its rollout)
