I'm pretty sure the software side of the project is a direct descendent from the WRT54G stack.

LinkSys got sued to release the firmware as it was GPL linked. This dump got modified to make the WRT54G way more powerful than LinkSys ever planned but they got to sell the hardware for years more than would have been expected at the time.

I love by Dream Machine Pro. Seems to just work and keep everything up to date. I have it running my security cameras as well and it has been pretty much bullet proof.

What needs do you have for a router that the Cloud Gateway is missing or is bad at? A PiHole equivalent is about all I can think I'm missing.

Ah, most the problem in programming is writing the tests. Once you know what you need the rest is just typing.

I can see an argument where you can get none programers to create the input and output of said tests but if the can do that, they are basically programmers.

This is of course leaving aside that half the stated use cases I hear for AI are that it can 'write the tests for you'. If it is writing the code and the tests it is pointless.

But data science usually isn't an island.

Use whatever you want on your one off personal projects but use something more non-data science friendly if you ever want your model to run directly in a production workflow.

Productionizing R models is quite painful. The normal way is to just rewrite it not in R.

.NET 10 8 months ago

Been awhile since I've worked at one but it is usually grounded in trying to achieve 100% MS usage.

It is rarish to find a partial MS shop. Most of this is how hard MS makes it to use other tools. Even in 2025 they have good interop with external tools hamstrung.

Example: SQL Servers JDBC driver will convert an entire table's of data from ASCII to UTF and a full table scan instead of convertering your UTF bind to ASCII and using the ASCII based index. This doesn't break interop but does make it painful to code and one more reason to just use .Net.

I've been using unfi protect/capture (I self hosted capture for a long time) for years and have never had a forgotten adoption any they almost never go down. I do have everything on UPS now but I never saw the issue before that either.

That said I've only used the wired bullet cams so maybe other models are not so nice.

Really the only downside I've seen is about 5ish years ago, all the bullet cams I bought would die after about .75 -> 3 years. All died with the same issue and I had 100% failure rate with any bought during that time frame. Ubiquiti replaced the ones that died during the warranty period but most died just after that expired.

The ones bought before or after that have been great so the issue was solved but I have a nice stack of dead ones that would work great as fake cameras, especially as their IR leds still light up.

Small companies really magnify the extreems. Good ones are really great but bad ones are extra bad. Sadly, they are also nimble enough to switch between them, at least in one direction.

And not true, at least for the newest version. V4 has touch sensors for adjusting the temps on the side of the mattress.

I do own of these and while I hate the price, the subscription, the fact that it didn't work for an hour last night due to the internet being down (first time ever really) but there really isn't a better option. I love the temp control and would use anyone else if they had a valid competitor, but sadly there isn't one (or at least wasn't when I bought mine). The alternative is to not have temp control which is pretty amazing.

They were actually changing the deck in way that survives shuffling, not just looking at the differences.

They were using the offset on the printing as a way to tell orientation of the card. Since auto shufflers never rotate the cards, any rotation they added would persist allowing a way to tell good from bad cards in future hands.

I'll just second to avoid myQ at all costs.

1. They want to charge for some integrations. I could see this if they didn't make local only impossible if you want anything beyond the clicker. Why aren't these just bluetooth and or wifi so my car and open when I pull up and close when I leave? Hell, if they just added an 'open if closed' and 'close if open' it would make it way better for the car to controll. IMO they are purposely making the non myQ options suck and stuck in the 80s just so they can upsell to a monthly subscription.

2. Their security is a joke. After moving to new phone their app would refuse to login yet would still show me notifications for door events. The only way to stop the notifications was to uninstall the app.

My newer garage door is lacking wifi just so I can add my own automation without even bothering with theirs.

I don't believe this is quite correct. The last few trips are actually orbital, just not of the correct elliptical shape to do more than a half orbit as the perigee is less than the radius of earth. If earth was a point mass, it would have orbited.

This means you don't have to do anything to deorbit while proving you could have made a full orbit if you wanted to.

I'm guessing it is `waste` from milling iPhones and Mac. Plenty of that and a marketing win even though this would always get recycled anyway.

But I'm pretty sure the voltage seen by each individual battery is always the same, regardless of the distribution system voltage.

There should be less heating for higher voltages but if most if the heating is in the battery vs the distribution system then the higher voltages will not help much.

Also, if they make all wires smaller to save money and weight then there might not be any change in heating.

Isn't this the exact opposite of what you want security wise? To even read the most basic project metadata (project name, version, deps, ... ), you have to run arbitrary in project code. So you have to do a code review of the project file before you can even open the project in your IDE. Programmatic project scanning is right off the list.

These are not cryogenic so something is probably possible but this would add extra weight/mass.

You do not want extra weight on your rocket. Every bit of non-fuel weight you add means you have to add extra fuel, and the extra fuel to carry the extra fuel along with any extra tank needed for the extra fuel. It gets bad fast.

It just isn't worth it when you can just add that weight as fuel that normally doesn't get used. Ideally would dump in the ocean (which you cleared) so it didn't matter (much).
