I think that used to be the idea but then they got acqui-hired

We use NixOS for all of our robots and servers at https://www.monumental.co, hard to imagine how we would do constant updates of our robot fleet without it.

If you're working on cloud systems it's easy enough to just throw away VMs all the time but you can't really do that with physical hardware that's on a construction site for months on end, where you only have a shared 5G connection. NixOS makes this all manageable!

The alternative firmwares give you a lot more options in this, stock is OK in layout

We could still deploy manually but it's suboptimal! And we're 'flying blind' without CI runs

Insane, we have to come up with contingency plans now for long-duration GitHub outages because we can't safely do deployments. For a service we're paying thousands of $ per year for even though we host runners ourselves...

iDeal is an enormous success in the Netherlands so if banks implement it as well in other countries then it will definitely be competitive with credit cards for online payments

No, open-source maintainers don't owe you anything if you don't pay for it

I highly recommend anyone to look at jq's VM implementation some time, it's kind of mind-blowing how it works under the hood: https://github.com/jqlang/jq/blob/master/src/execute.c

It does some kind of stack forking which is what allows its funky syntax

Hopefully some actual competition against GSuite (or whatever it's called these days)

Wow I've heard pieces of this but never the full thing, incredible

Wow 11 years ago, takes me back...

Sure, but getting this far would be inconceivable just half a year ago. It will only get better as time passes

I should blog more, and so should you!

It's not available in my region (NL) :(

big L for all the cloud providers that made the mistake of using it instead of forging their own path, they're kind of screwed now

option 2 is what this blog is about, the example code creates a socket using that method

HR, finance, sales any non engineer is called an operator these days basically

Could you how a decimal point in the distance measuring tool? I want to measure distances in my backyard from the satellite photo and the rounded number makes it hard to be accurate

Ah this makes a lot of sense, perhaps the posted flag doesn't get reset e.g. if this branch gets followed: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:v8/...

Prefab stone strips are used here and there but most brick facades are still built by hand on-site.

There's a huge shortage of workers, which is why we're working on this.

Thank you!!

Has anyone be able to find any other dock/display with video, 2.5gbps and PD?

Hope this is upstreamed at some point. Good to see there's still a lot of gains to be made for Rust compile time

Really wish this existed in the Netherlands when I was growing up!

There are certainly hardware companies that value software enough to pay well

Some trig and geometry is definitely useful—but it's quite limited to be honest. For most things you can use existing algebra libraries and for most things someone else has figured it out before!

This is being worked on https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/579

Between all four buildings, they will include 1,776 residential units

America is incredible

For those wondering _why_ this device is there, it seems it gave points under the Code for Sustainable Homes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_for_Sustainable_Homes so the apartment could have a better environmental rating, as mentioned at https://uk-metering.net/products/netthings-energy-manager

Seems that making sure the device actually works and is accurate was not a requirement however...

Of course the old cars you can still buy now are the reliable ones, because the unreliable ones have long been scrapped
