EJB, Spring, Ant, Struts (I'm getting old - Like Hot Java Alpha 3 and Java applets old), maven, pom files, etc.

I used to love Java but the complexity merchants showed up and ruined the party. 1.5 was just coming out when I stopped doing Java dev. Kotlin might pull me back into the fold though for when I can't use Go.

Yeah, I haven't been there in years.

I am 22095 on GH but 213 on Sourceforge :-D I have a 5 digit user id on Slashdot as well (~20k mark if I recall).

This came out too close to April 1 for me to know if it was real or not :).

I do like the idea of local/on device llms so it's interesting and will keep an eye on it.

I do not do well on them. Case in point I just finished an interview where I ran out of time computing the mode of an array - something I was unfamiliar with. It's not that I couldn't have figured it out but the time pressure got to me and it went downhill from there - we ran out of time for the second part of the interview (I will also say we probably spent to long on the intros part making the time pressure even worse).

It doesn't mean I don't know how to write software, something I've been doing for almost 45 years!

It's purely personal, but my body really seems to prefer daylight savings. I always have very rough and fluctuating sleep schedules during the winter. They seem to go away after the spring ahead (it could just be the longer daylight hours that become more apparent during spring). Greetings from Mission!

I still have my copy of

If you read through the BBC post, it alludes to passing confidential trade documents to Epstein... but of course that's probably because he was being blackmailed by Epstein for f*cking under age girls.

It's down for me too... I tried a subreddit and it says that it doesn't exist :-/

Is that per person or for the 5 people? No if per person if the minimum commit is 30 days (300/Night is not too bad, but for a week to 10 days at a time, not the month). If for all 5 then yes, it might make sense for retreats.

I DO wish there a business focused resort with meeting rooms, workspaces, good connectivity and AV, etc. Suites with meeting space for smaller groups/after hours meetings and some amenities for after hours (eg pool, golf, gym, etc).

EDIT: My house is paid for, so I am not really the target demographic :)

It could be that Gen 3 shipping late 2026 is a concession that R2 might be delayed until then.

Personally I think they will ship R2 Gen 2 vehicles to the early adopters that are less concerned with ADAS.

My R2 reservation is very late (I had to redo it for reasons) so I probably won't be able to order one until it's available anyways.

sqlite is just a library (in C)

A few projects:

  * https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite Distributed, fault tolerant cluster
  * https://litestream.io/ Replication to S3 (or compatible) - more disaster recovery than fail over
  * https://fly.io/docs/litefs/ Same Author as litestream).  Distributed replication.  Requires writes to be redirected to the primary.

And other than HW redundancy, I can get pretty far by scaling vertically on a single box. And for my app, I could probably (and my users!) live with some occasional downtime (as long as the data is replicated/backed up).

If I get 20-50K users, it'll be a successful venture so I don't need much these days and it will be cheaper and easier to run as well.

When we were at Spirit Halloween last week I saw some building blocks like drops and swinging mechanisms for DIY.

Just think of it as evolution in action.

Did they mean route as in path to a solution? Or root as the source? Seems odd.

According to the Programming Guide, it supports aliases for imports

"In case of conflict or convenience, you can give modules an alias as well."

There's a youtube video from one of the paper's authors and interstellar is probably a stretch but 1000+ AU is far beyond what we can achieve today so not bad.

If you have to ask.... :)

(other people's) previous guesstimates were 500k - 1M. It does look like you can order it partially provisioned (compute wise I'm guessing) and expand later.

I don't know about anyone else, but I pronounce midget and widget exactly the same. eg... soft I sound for the 'i' and a j sound for the 'g'.

So for me, the clarification on the name makes it less understandable :)

This...

No offence taken :).

Just today I saw a post (on Reddit) 'Mauling' over whether to get a Framework 16 or not (I assume that English was not their native tongue). Me? I would have just let the bear have it ;-p

No, worries, I knew, I couldn't remember if it had the s or not... I'll have to look up the etymology.

Sorry, did I get it wrong? I only ever see it as onprem ;).

How about 'On Premise Micro Data Centre" :-p

Doesn't quite role off the tongue though, not even a good acronym. Maybe Personal Data Centre (pdc)?

There's some cross over with r/selfhosted but that generally includes people hosting things on VPS/Bare metal.

Some resources:

  * https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/
  * https://diysolarforum.com/

But watch the video at https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/mobile-48v-system.html for something similar to a Goal Zero or Jackery

There is also https://skateco.github.io/ which (at quick glance) seems similar

Unrelated to https://sillysoft.net/lux/ (I know the spelling is different)

I seem to recall that it's a reference in Protector (the first half) when the belters are going to meet the Outsider and they had a 'brain' to help with translation and needing an expert to keep it sane.

I just googled and there was a discussion on Reddit and they mentioned some Frank Herbert works where this was a thing.

I think that might be a structure/css issue. On Desktop it's to the left of the article (but I shrunk the window and indeed it puts it below the article).

I was hopeful Migadu was going to work for you. See https://migadu.com/procon/#no-mailbox-2fa-yet for why they don't (yet) offer it. It also probably explains why it's not more prevalent.
