20? Try 5...

I"m working on a repository that uses at least four different jira ticket number formats. All commits should have a jira reference but I think only the current format can still be looked up. And maybe the predecessor if you know what jira field to query. All the rest are lost in corporate limbo. Not that those tickets added much more context to the actual commit...

So yeah, always write your commit messages as standalone as possible.

There's one DDD feature that I haven't found elsewhere: its graphical representation of a struct and its contents. You can double-click on a pointer field and then it draws whatever that field pointed to, with a nice arrow connecting the two.

I've found it a very powerful yet compact way to visualize the state of a program when debugging.

yes! this was so great in college to learn pointers and visualize linked lists

Reminds of SmallTalk / and Lisp's - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp_Interface_Manager

There was even a story, that (at least for Common Lisp), you can start from almost blank state, but have an exception handler installed (that can continue), so as you go you live-edit and add pieces missing, or if code crashes change.

This is all good, until nowadays, where you really want to know what's deployed in production, and not just the last stuff I've live fixed.

I mean, I guess both have values tbh, but hard to pull two models like this and use... bit like - debugger or printf statements (or both!)

(Fellow country man here!) That still sounds like a lot to be honest. According to the yearly stats we receive from our trash collector: in 2021 our family of 4 produced 27,50kg of non-recyclables. That's not per month or per person but for all of us for the whole year. Granted, no diapers anymore here; that takes quite some space (and weight, which is more important since we pay per kg).

We saw a significant drop after they started collecting plastics separately. We have a 120 litre bin that we put to the curb every two months or so. I don't quite understand what people are throwing out all the time that you can fill a large bin every week...

On a related note: I have the impression Broadcom is more and more losing terrain to the likes of Qualcomm and Mediatek. A couple of years ago nearly everybody was using Broadcom chips in their products (or at least in the consumer-grade telecom devices I'm familiar with as part of my job). Now I'm seeing a shift away from them.

I can't really say if it's due to better features, price, vendor support, open source support, documentation, or perhaps all of the above. In any case, some competition is certainly welcome.

If you check out the forum.openwrt.org, you'll see, that broadcom support is mostly limited to Raspberry PI devices, and some 400Mhz museum pieces.

9/10 times the turned-down requests for OpenWrt support of Device XY are because of Broadcom SOCs/Wireless_chips in the device.

On the other hand, Broadcom is dominant in high end network gear. The only real competition was Tofino which Intel killed off.

it's because of the CEO Hock Tan. Broadcom became a sort of investment fund rather than an engineering company. Hock even wanted to buy Qualcomm but got blocked by Trump. This was because it was very likely Hock would just divide it into pieces, cut R&D and start charging 2-3x more for the existing products like he did for Broadcom, symantec, CA techmologies and now vmware. He even sued Broadcom customers like VW.. Despite all this its stock is rising and rising..

If you asked for my reflexive feeling about using a Broadcom chip in a new design the answer is you're asking to be in a abusive relationship with a supplier.

TINA. You aren't exactly spoilt for choice if you want to build a 400G switch.

True. Luckily the competition is catching up fast. Though Marvell isn't so much different.

Broadcom is so odd that I get the feeling that they landed a huge hidden deal with the US government that they no longer have the need to do traditional free-market business.

So something like https://syncthing.net/ ?

It's more generic than that.

Syncthing is designed specifically for file system sync (and does a very good job). Willow could be used for file system tasks, but also for storing app data that is unrelated to file systems, like a KV store database.

You should be able to write a good syncthing like app using the willow protocol, especially if you choose blake3 as the hash function.

Syncthing doesn’t have sharing support AFAICS, but yes, Willow could be used as the underlying protocol for something like Syncthing.

Note that they no longer do this fallback to local name resolving:

From the advisory:

  Starting in curl 8.4.0, curl no longer switches to local resolve mode if the name is too long but is instead rightfully returning an error.

In my country it has been mandatory for at least a decade in any new construction or significant renovation to collect rain water and use it for at least flushing toilets.

It's not that expensive to install at that time and saves a lot of potable water. Seems like a no-brainer to me to do this everywhere.

In some parts of America, collecting rainwater is illegal.

Restrictions are mainly on commercial and especially agricultural use. It's not that bad for residential systems. https://www.worldwaterreserve.com/rainwater-harvesting/is-it... But in Georgia, you can only use the rainwater outdoors. So you can't legally flush your toilet with it.

Because, legally, you're stealing water from the basin and the basin's down stream users.

You're also not paying for the sewer use if you flush with it (since sewer isn't metered)

Some municipalities have ways to handle the second (as you have homes that are on well water but city sewer). Usually it's a flat fee based on occupancy or square footage.

This is mostly a myth, but check your local ordinances. OR do like the rest of us Freedudes do. Just do it.

Where?

Average house where? Here in my European country the average is more like 10kWh per day.

Are you referring to the original DAB (using MP2) or the upgraded DAB+ standard (using HE-AACv2)? I think most, if not all, stations have switched to DAB+. I'm told the quality is better than FM and based on my experience it's certainly not worse as far as I can hear. Of course, since FM is analog it degrades linearly whereas DAB+ is digital: it either works or it doesn't. This might skew the perception of quality.

You're probably right. I was put off by early DAB deployments, and haven't tried with DAB+. I would be interested to try again with the new standard.

Passive houses typically use balanced mechanical ventilation coupled with a heat exchanger so outgoing stale air will heat up incoming fresh air to minimize heat losses.
