I often see code relying on the increasing property of primary key (keeping track of processed vs unprocessed by the last processed pk only).

This wrap into negative domain would wreck havoc for sure.

Great, thanks!

I was probably not stable enough showing it to the webcam and had more luck with the sudoku lying on the table and moving the webcam.

The lightning was also quite important in getting the grid recognized.

Nice job :)

I love the idea but couldn't get it to work.

When I click the snapshot button from the /viewer URI, I end up on /image and can only download the photo I took or go back.

What is the intended workflow?

It's an awesome game, I'm playing it non-stop since last summer and embarked my 9-years old daughter along. We're sharing games and exchanging bits of information (yes, she's thinking out of the box, and it sometimes works :) )

The author, Evan, is maintaining a fediverse community for all mods of the original Pixel Dungeon, accessible via https://photon.lemmy.world/c/pixeldungeon for instance, after the Reddit troubles from last year.

It is not an application, it's a model.

It claims to be llama-compatible, so you can reuse the same ecosystem, like ollama for inference.

It will not run random code on your behalf and call OpenAI API like you fear.

WINE 1.9.4 Released 10 years ago

Reaper is praised by a lot, that's true.

But I wouldn't call it a killer app when linux has great native DAW like ardour (libre), LMMS (libre), Non (libre), Renoise (proprietary) or Bitwig (proprietary) and probably others.

When I had to pick a backup system, I considered Bup until I saw that there were no way to prune old backup ( https://github.com/bup/bup/blob/master/README.md#things-that... ).

This is really a stopblocker for me.

Obnam ( http://obnam.org ) is a similar tool but support forgetting old generations. However, it still suffers for youth problems and tends to corrupt backup repository when pruning old data on a remote server.

I'm really looking forward for a mature and feature full backup system based on git principes. Bup or obnam might be one of those.

This post was an opportunity to discover that Rovio had much more employee than what I expected.

Angry bird looks so much like one of those flash games you can create with a single coder and a single designer I never imagined they had more than 800 people now. I would have guessed a small dozen max...

just my 2 cents, but showing the source to a limited amount of people, who are themselves known for other kind of work and certifying that your app isn't badly behaving could be a good start.

That's not a silver bullet idea though, because it requires trusted voluntary (or not) people and there is always a slight risk of source code leak.

technically, they don't recommend it. curl whatever | bash is one of the 3 possible method (first listed, I agree) but there are 2 other ways to install it.

otoh, don't you think that without the unsecure one liner to install it, some people would complain about its lack ? Stating they can read the script before executing it anyway.

Plus, it's not much less secure than cloning a repo and running 'make install' (in both case, one could read the script(s) but will unlikely do so).

Too bad mosh needs an udp port to run its own server.

One of the greatness of ssh is its lean network requirements (it can even be considered https if seen from intermediate proxies, hence whitelisted) and this extra udp port is quite a burden in some environments.

I still agree that mosh is a fine tool for mobile users. I'm just a tad worried about its security layer implementation being less audites than openssh for instance (as mosh isn't as widely used)...

Django 1.7 RC1 12 years ago

South was the defacto standard app to manage your schema, so it wasn't really such a bad issue.

It's better to have it built in, sure, but it wasn't a nuisance before.

IE6 is dead 12 years ago

it will reuse the protocol of the current page, think http or https or spdy or whatever comes in the future.

I've been deceived by CloudMade some months ago when they told me I couldn't use their free tier on my site because it was "associated with" unpackaged food and their ToUs denied this (as any non transferable good).

They didn't answer me when I asked the reasoning behind this restriction, out of curiosity.

Since then, I use MapQuest Open and no problem so far.

advantage of credits vs local money is that the cost of credits is lower as you buy it by larger batch. It's a way to reward bigger buyers which would be confusing when using local money ("get credited of €215 when paying €180" ? what about refund ? invoicing unit ?)

And as resources can be micromanaged (per hour, via their api), you'd end up with tiny fractions of local currencies and rounding issues while all credit operations are done on integer afaik.
