Finally built a proof of concept soil moisture IoT (#ESP32, battery powered) that communicates through #LoRa to my private receiver. Now to another step which is building a waterproof case .. using my #Prusa 3D printer.

@po3mah Sure, schematics are pretty straightforward though. Just GND, 5V (or 3.3V) and an analog input pin on microcontroller side to read from moisture sensor https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Grove-Capacitive_Moisture_Sensor-Corrosion-Resistant/

Explosions rocked two bridges linking and Oblast over night, the most recent strike in a string of drone attacks on infrastructure.

has enums, but you can cast regular ints to them, increment them, etc., giving you invalid values.

That seems to defeat the main job of enums.

C#: "We'll give you safety, but we'll also absolutely give you a duct full of buzz saws and live electrical cables if you really want to crawl through it."

@peterdrake Actually it can be different types, not just ints. Anyway, it's a tradeoff, personally I'm fine with those.

It's funny that some people (mostly CEOs) think replacing all jobs with AI and robots is a good idea. However, I can't help but imagine the chaos it would cause in the long run.

mihamarkic,
@mihamarkic@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft Yes, but they don't think very well as CEO is just another replaceable job...

Things I rarely use:
🚫 Currying
🚫 Middleware
🚫 Inheritance
🚫 Polymorphism
🚫 IoC containers
🚫 The actor model
🚫 Aspect-oriented programming
🚫 Complex design patterns

My typical approach:
✅ Write small functions
✅ Try to keep most functions pure
✅ Compose them together

Programming doesn’t have to be complicated. https://twitter.com/housecor/status/1684903334115753985?s=46

Is it worth overpaying for extra RAM in laptops that cannot be upgraded later? 8GB? 16GB? 32GB? 64GB? 128GB? What are your bare minimum requirements these days?

mihamarkic,
@mihamarkic@mastodon.social avatar

@qlp @nixCraft Yep, I wouldn't go with less than 64 in that case.

Patch now iPhone users. Zero day in wild. May be actively exploited. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidphelan/2023/07/10/ios-1651-a-apple-suddenly-releases-urgent-iphone-rapid-security-response-update/

@nixCraft AFAIK you can't patch, instead you have to wait for iOS patch to be pushed to your device. Or is there another way?

23.0 has just been released.

This is primarily a bug fix release after 22.0, although you will also notice a new preference to adjust text size across the user interface.

@Tusky Is there a way to store recently used languages at the top of the languages choice? I frequently switch between EN and SI only, which is a bummer because SI is way at the bottom of the long list.

@mihamarkic@mastodon.social avatar

For some reason XElement.Parse doesn't play well in parallel scenario - there is almost no performance gain using more than one thread to call it in parallel. I really wonder where it blocks. #dotnet

mihamarkic,
@mihamarkic@mastodon.social avatar

Here is a poor man's sample. Perhaps I'm doing something really stupid. 🤷‍♂️

https://dotnetfiddle.net/ASEoGR

mihamarkic,
@mihamarkic@mastodon.social avatar

@TimPurdum Hey, that environment has 4 CPU cores available and the code is CPU bound (at least it should be). Hence you should see like ~3.5x improvement. On my local machine with 8 cores doesn't perform any better. And even though it's a small sample, it should be totally parallelized.

Friends, I want a synology backup for home. Whats the model you recommend for a household that would backup some 8 computers?

mihamarkic,
@mihamarkic@mastodon.social avatar

@janl @isotopp @Migueldeicaza Big disks are a problem, because in case of a failure, it takes quite a lot of time to recover. And if another one (or two) fails during recovery, it's a total loss. Just something to keep in mind. Said that, I'm running truenas with 5 6GB disks, 2 of them are redundant.

News: Windows 11 users no longer need third-party apps to open RAR files.

@tbroyer @nixCraft Could be. Though AFAIK even 7z supports it, for decompression only. Is Win 11 supposed to support compression as well?

The code that needs to be written to generate complex C# code with source generators becomes hard to read and maintain very quickly.

Wouldn't it make sense to have some sort of templating engine, like Razor or Mustache, but for C# source code?

Maybe it even already exists?

mihamarkic,
@mihamarkic@mastodon.social avatar

@bitbonk I feel you and I'm with you. Hopefully we get something eventually. That also reminds me of decades ago when I used generator. It's still around, but it's not free not updated I think.

I don’t get all the hate on regexps, nor wearing your hate as a badge of honor.

@Migueldeicaza I'm on the opposite side, I really like regex' power. And XML.

    It's been over 3 years since the last Snapseed update, but version 2.20 is finally starting to roll out to users today.

    PhotoScan, which was last updated in April 2019, has also been updated recently to version 1.7.5.

    @MishaalRahman There is a problem with CameraX library where it doesn't support high resolutions on some devices including Samsungs. Perhaps they are using a pre-release or some other workaround.
