huginn,

I’ve used them and they’re great

huginn,

There’s totally a use case for a peripheral like a watch… But it’s only so you don’t have to pull your phone out of your pocket.

huginn,

Given it’s a 3d print and cost about $0.60 to make each one…

Now if they made the STL as well then it makes more sense.

huginn,

Resources are just way cheaper than developers.

It’s a lot cheaper to have double the ram than it is to pay for someone to optimize your code.

And if you’re working with code that requires that serious of resource optimization you’ll invariably end up with low level code libraries that are hard to maintain.

… But fuck the Always on internet connection and DRM for sure.

huginn,

Last time I checked - your personal computer wasn’t a company cost.

Until it is nothing changes - and to be totally frank the last thing I want is to be on a corporate machine at home.

huginn,

It’d be nice to have that - yeah. My company issued me a laptop that only had 16gb of RAM to try and build Android projects.

Idk if you know Gradle builds but a multi module project regularly consumes 20+GB of ram during a build. Despite the cost difference being paid for in productivity gains within a month it took 6 months and a lot of fighting to get a 32gb laptop.

My builds immediately went from 8-15 minutes down to 1-4.

huginn,

It’s how big orgs like Google do it, sure. Working there I had 192gb of ram on my cloudtop.

That’s not exactly reducing the total spend on dev ram though - quite the opposite. It’s getting more ram than you can fit in a device available to the devs.

But you can’t have it both ways: you can’t bitch and moan about “always on internet connections” and simultaneously push for an always on internet connected IDE to do your builds.

I want to be able to work offline whenever I need to. That’s not possible if my resource starved terminal requires an Internet connection to run.

Ram is dirt cheap and only getting cheaper.

Resource optimization has nothing to do with product quality. Really good experiences can be done with shitty resource consumption. Really bad experiences can be blisteringly fast in optimization.

The reason programmers work in increasingly abstract languages is to do more with less effort at the cost of less efficient resource utilization.

Rollercoaster Tycoon was ASM. Slay the Spire was Java. They’re both excellent games.

huginn,

Companies own the code you write.

It’s not your code if you’re working for a corp - it’s theirs.

huginn,

Companies don’t pay for your 2x RAM and it doesn’t slow down their user acquisition so they don’t care.

huginn,

Psychopath

Just because you don’t own something doesn’t mean you should trash it.

First you insist that companies don’t own the code then you say if you don’t own it you don’t have to care.

God I hope I never work with an idiot like you.

huginn,

Resources are just way cheaper than developers.

It’s a lot cheaper to have double the ram than it is to pay for someone to optimize your code.

I don’t see where you’re reading that idea.

It’s a lot cheaper to double the ram ergo you do not have to pay someone to optimize your code.

Where are you getting this bizarre inverse from?

huginn,

Define expensive?

Because labor isn’t the main cost of fast food as far as I’m aware. Doubling the wage of laborers saw only modest price changes in places that hiked minimum wage… Despite franchise owners being able to set their own prices.

McDonald’s near me in NYC is more expensive than Alabama, sure - but it’s not double the price. ~$20 for 2 people to have 2 large meals with drinks is eminently reasonable.

Feeling Overwhelmed Picking Door Sensors

I’m looking for door & window contact sensors and motion sensors to replace an old Simon 3 ADT security system. I’ve read a lot of posts and such and I’m still having a hard time picking out sensors that will work with an existing Smarthings v2 Hub (currently used for lights) and eventually Home Assistant once life calms...

huginn,

I’ve got aqara open/close sensors that I use on 3 windows and 2 doors. I like them. I’ve had them a couple years without needing to replace the batteries but I have some spare coin cells on hand for when I do.

Specifically these ones: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09TP7VMKB?psc=1

They’re not a security system in the sense of “can detect a smashed window” but they’re great for window open/close automation in my NYC apartment.

huginn,

I mean the deadlock game is in invite only closed beta rn…

It’s not really planning so much as “about to release to Early Access”

huginn,

Where the duck do you think the money to buy things was coming from?

ferrante, to giornalismo Italian

Trump condannato. E adesso?

@giornalismo
articolo21.org/2024/05/trump-c…
In un sondaggio abc/ipsos di inizio maggio il il 16 per cento dei sostenitori di Trump ha dichiarato di essere pronto a riconsiderare la propria scelta di voto in caso di condanna e il 4 per cento ha detto che in quel caso il candidato repubblicano perderebbe certamente il suo voto. Percentuali

huginn,

E adesso - probabilmente niente succede. Purtroppo

huginn,

Gelding is what they mean and a 1 character transposition happens by accident all the tiem.

Estonia | The Digital State (youtu.be)

Most states rely on paper bureaucracy to ensure that the state can function and provide services. Paper bureaucracy has been part and parcel of how we maintain states and corporations since the Chinese invented the first paper bureaucracy systems of management 3000 years ago. But as you all probably know, bureaucracy kinda...

huginn,

Idk if you watched the video but the reason it works is mentioned in the video, if not explored in detail.

You have a digital id and a digital signature that is tied to you as a citizen.

Each vote has to be signed with your personal voter signature.

huginn, (edited )

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_identity_card

It’s actually fascinating. Asymmetric keys with public keys hosted by the government and the private key in your ID.

A 4 digit pin1 code is required to use the authorization key and a 5 digit pin2 is required to use the signing key.

The average Estonian signs 50 documents per year using this method.

huginn,

You think Bing aka Microsoft is not planning on this exact same folly?

huginn,

I mean… They have though. It’s not in bing.com but “Microsoft copilot” is their newly rebranded Bing + AI search engine, which they’re embedding directly into desktops. They’ve been doing the AI summaries longer than Google has afaik.

huginn,

Government biometric requirements really aren’t a joke. They perform pretty regular audits and the liability of not deleting ID could be company ending.

They might not delete your biometrics, but I’d be shocked if they didn’t. It’s far more likely that they not only delete it but have an audit trail proving deletion.

huginn,

Why is that?

It’s not like Belarus will resist them

huginn,
