TIL we have LED lightbulb rules but every bulb in home depot has terrible PWM that's bad for your eyes.

Another 20 years and maybe the government will finally address that.

On the tires topic, I'm fine with this as long as they don't ban the sale of anything. Let the consumer decide.

Personally, Fastcomments and all my projects can easily be switched to a self hosted provider, keeping GitHub as a read only mirror. It's probably a couple days work with today's tools.

Pretty sure this is caused by trying to move to Azure (and I'd bet like $1000 partially due to trying to move DBs to network backed disk instances)

Our nuclear subs alone are a significant deterrent (as long as people think you'll use them).

Ah ok true, I forgot I use it for serial stuff very occasionally too.

It knows some python :)

Is there any advantage of screen over tmux? I've kind of switched, I don't see a reason to go back.

The benefit of per row is that you can tag additional info like reserved user id etc, which you would have to track somewhere anyway.

I live in the bay area and buy a phone maybe every 3 years? Why do people waste so much money :D

I have win 10 iot running on devices with 4gb of ram (they mostly have to run one dedicated app) and it works fine!

I think in this case it's HVAC?

Here's the part worth knowing - it's only going to get worse.

They can still target four nines (0.9999)

Use the system font stack

Pretty sure if you didn't run the DB on networked disks you would have been fine.

Win10 iot ent runs on even 3rd gen i3s very well...

Your computer is fast and can display hundreds of thousands of divs a second. :)

I've been building watch.ly[0] which intercepts all network /fs traffic on the machine originating from the agent and pings you for approval.

[0] https://watch.ly

It's embedded. Single machine. But it runs their forum/ticketing thing so good enough for that I guess :)

Probably worth saying it's a fork of orientdb from like 2010.

I'm not sure I'd say "React Bad", I'd rather say "React Not Really Super Necessary and More Often Than Not Leads to a Worst Experience at Maybe a Slightly Lower Initial Cost" :)

I did an experiment recently, I actually wanted to launch a dashboard and picked React because I knew I could throw React + Tailwind + popular_component_and_charts_frameworks at Opus and get a decent result. But actually, I realized a lot of fairly simple button clicks had like a 100ms-200ms delay, and I just did not like it. I ported it to Java/Javalin with J2HTML and kept tailwind, and it's very snappy and works great. It's currently 96k lines of java ^_^

To write good React you have to follow conventions, too. You can't get away from conventions.

People keep touting react etc but I swear every mobile ordering app I use lags like hell, just from recent example, and these can easily be built and maintained without a huge framework to "manage state" or "connect state to the view".

you just agree on a set of conventions for components and state management, it's not that hard. This is basically how Rails works...

yes it's still a framework, duh. it's just less abstraction than react etc.

Excellent! We can use this to start to throw executives in jail and maybe society won't erode as fast.

My fun ancedotal story about US healthcare:

Kaiser transported me 4hrs in a ambulance to get surgery and I think I just paid the $200 ER fee

But then they would never cover an MRI for an issue with the same leg.

It's like we're almost done with this project guys, come on.

oh for sure! I think in some ways LLMs have raised the bar in terms of what you an expect from software (once we get past the hurdle of increased bugs, but that seems to be getting better)

Yes, because now your competitors do the same. The winners: inference providers

Pretty proud that after six years fastcomments is still only about 30kb

I should probably work again on getting that down some :)

post-ban I've even had Opus 4.8 say it cannot let me continue (I was analyzing a nodejs heap dump)

So basically if you have queries that are hard on the query planner, that constant fan out has higher CPU cost than the alternatives.
