In Canada we have these refillable prepaid VISA cards https://www.koho.ca/ . Not a plug, but it's honestly solved money management for us. Every week, my wife and I load some amoun…

I've been using AWS Route53 DNS for my domain for many years, very cheap and easy to automate a DDNS setup if desired (e.g. https://crazymax.dev/ddns-route53/ )

Yes, making me migrate manually means I'm very likely to migrate to Outlook365

If you want to try some modern-er noir, American Tabloid by James Ellroy is a wild ride.

Disclaimer, I like the snap packaging format, and I'm not familiar with the history of launchpad. Operationally: - I can trivially host and control my own apt repository, either as…

Hear hear. I imagine for dogfooding, LXD is only packaged in snap, so we can't use apt as the source anymore. After migrating, an upstream push to a 'stable' LXD snap channel intro…

Foundational seems like a strong word here - this is a thin wrapper on top of two popular components from ROS (Navigation and MoveIt), and bringup for a specific robot (LoCoBot). I…

I really love the ideas/architecture behind Concourse, but there's a few things that disqualified it in favour of Jenkins for a new CI pipeline during prototyping: - no hooks to ma…

For n=1, sure, not necessarily.

If you have two systems generating UUIDs, and their probability distributions are non uniform and overlap in any significant fashion, then your odds of collision are no longer on t…

> If you used UUID() for data that is supposed to be secret (like passwords), you have a serious problem, as these secrets can now be easily guessed. I've never used UUIDs for secr…

Ubiquiti makes great prosumer stuff, if you're willing to pay ~$120 for the 'router', and then another ~$100 for the wireless access point. That's not 'cheap', but it's about on pa…

I've been using Lineage on my oneplus 3 for some time, and it's very stable. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/cheeseburger

Likely refers to sensor fusion ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor_fusion ), which is an algorithmic process. A 4-hour MTBF window (even for a subsystem) is terrifying consideri…

At the point when the system is unable to analyze the static environment (e.g. lane markers) due to poor visibility, it's probably unable to analyze and deal with dynamic situation…

Traffic lights will often have sensors to prevent switching when no cross traffic is waiting. There are also centrally controlled systems that incorporate adaptive control methods.…
