could graphene support multiple duress PINs? feds: "unlock your phone or else" victim: "um, you're stressing me man. It's either 1234 or 4321, I forget. One of them wipes the phone…

One missing feature: deferred message propagation. As far as I understand, while messages will be rebroadcast until a TTL is exhausted, there is no mechanism to retain in-transit m…

If the idea is to have devs implement each kata, wouldn't it be more effective to provide not only automated tests, but also code which should be used as a basis for each challenge…

A large percentage of git users are unaware of git-absorb ( https://github.com/tummychow/git-absorb ). This complements just about any git flow, vastly reducing the pain of realisi…

This is exactly what I want when baking bread: I have a fixed sequence of steps, spaced quite far apart, and this is pretty much perfect: a series of relatively short breaks when a…

This would be more impactful if we could see the cost to US purchasers was actually 39% more. Sadly some manufacturers spread the cost across all consumers, which actually means no…

Is there a risk that this will underemphasise some values when the source of error is not independent? For example, the ROI on financial instruments may be inversely correlated to …

Nit-picking, but a high signal to noise ratio is desirable, indicating low levels of noise compared to signal, not the reverse.

Despite what you get in Australia being pretty reliable, it's too expensive to justify quite yet. My 8kW solar is connected to a Fronius inverter, but until I find a less expensive…

It would be interesting to know how effective Profile Guided Optimisation is here.

I've also found htmx a great way to retain server side rendering with minimising the recalculation cost of client changes. By avoiding needing to add lots of client side logic to s…

Doesn't this model fail to account for seasonal variations in the locus of the sun? The optimal angle will vary across the year, whatever the latitude. Maybe I'm missing something,…

Which is the cause, and which the effect? Was apple's incorrect autocorrect causing them to go to the wrong place initially, or did they autocorrect list get built from the incorre…

The inter-request integrity guarantee is nice, but you're right that on its own it seems something many devs don't value - or at least don't consider. The main driver for getting i…

I can't speak for Channels itself, but I'm quite comfortable that my use of it is not exotic, so is less likely to hit rough edges. The pattern of use I have chosen (having each we…

Over recent weeks there have been a few HN posts relating to Django and how it interacts with "modern" ecosystems. Over Christmas I began working on a Django extension which would …

This is also my pattern. To further assist with this, I wrote a short(ish) rebase script intended to be run when you want to squash your series of commits, also bringing your local…

Hopefully ECS/fargate will also be supported soon. I tried shifting our CI workers to ARM but it resulted in not being able to use them to build ECS images, which was not great.

So this is a big step forward in terms of avoiding the race condition where CI runners would accept new jobs during scale-in operations. But how do you ensure you only spawn new ep…

We have recently switched to GitHub actions and in addition to the above, there are two others which impact us: Sometimes the checkout action fetches the wrong commit! The SHA in t…

Is it possible you haven't added the bounding box for your geometries? The GIST index will use your bounding box to optimise the queries, but only if it finds one. Also make sure y…

The redis/memcache example doesn't make a lot of sense to me, unless the idea is that a separate memcache instance is deployed alongside each backend, while redis would have been a…
