Show HN: KaithemAutomation, the home automation system for coders and artists
I've talked about this one on Reddit a bit, and I think it's finally about ready to talk about here.

I started this project around 2013 for internal use, and GPL licensed it because I have no desire to own my own software business.

Kaithem is, for the most part, somewhere between a SCADA and a Home Assistant clone, heavily focused on easy deployment with minimal tinkering.

It allows for Python code based if-then events you edit via the web, along with web-editable HTML dashboards, but also includes loadable modules for more point-and-click style editing.

One of these is Chandler, a scenes/cues manager that includes a simple visual scripting language inspired by ladder logic.

It saves everything you create in Git-friendly plain text files, and is meant to integrate well with a linux system, with convenience features like using the user account username/password to log in.

Device drivers created via an extension API, and can also be used in non-kaithem apps, via the iot_devices library. Drivers should be share-able and installable via pip.

There's also basic builtin support for IP cameras, including sub-second latency streaming via websockets, and object detect recording.

Out-of-the-box device support is pretty limited at the moment, consisting entirely of stuff I've had a use case for personally, but does include YeeLight, RTL433-supported sensors, SainSmart relay boards, and most anything ZigBee2MQTT can handle.

In addition, there are tag points and alarms vaguely copied from SCADA systems, modules can make use of the tagpoint object, which is like a variable that hooks into the tag point system, every point gets a management page where you can set alarms, set up logging, which includes the ability to only log the min, max, or average over time, to save space, and override it's value.

It uses only external dependencies found in the Debian repos, and does not include any crazy built in custom feature downloader thingy like some similar projects, nor anything that needs compilation.

It does not use a database, separate web server, or any other thing that would require you to specifically configure the system in an unusual way, although some features can make use of MQTT, and it does depend on PipeWire being set up if you want to use the built in audio live mixer(You may also be able to use it with manually started JACK).

It's 99% stable, used in real installs, and could probably be called v1.0 already, but there are unmaintained experimental features that will probably disappear(Anything that involves a custom nonstandard network protocol is on the chopping block, as per my philosophy of decustomizing technology, as is HTTPS support as that may be better done externally).
Nice cherry pick. The president is likely referring to sanctions.

Your link doesn't support your claim that this is economically motivated.

"If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the -- the border of Ukraine again, then there will be -- there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,"

Even if it were a threat to destroy the pipeline if Russia invaded, Russia invaded. So now what would you expect to happen?

Hard to improve on Muzani’s answer but here is my take:

It’s a great chance to learn about a domain you may not know very well.

I only ever applied for jobs that would be exceptionally interesting to me, and that were a way to level up my skills.

Therefore in the case that you described, I would have come with a list of questions to ask about how they do things, because I would have those same questions if I met the person on a bus or something.

Back when you were a fetus I interviewed for a job at Microsoft which I knew they wouldn’t give me (spoiler: I actually did get the job). But I viewed that day of interviews as an incredible opportunity to satisfy the curiosity I had about a wide range of their internal practices and thought processes. I also got to see a demo of the very first version of IntelliSense.
That’s pretty good - almost as good as a senior coder at facebook.

I don't think I have ever clicked anything on one of those headers on a website in my life. In fact the anti pattern is so obnoxious I literally couldn't tell you what's even on them.
Anecdotally, my uncle did this back in the late 80s to 2000s. Towards the end he would make AUD$400-800k a year (depending on how many jobs he took on) which was great money for someone who got into it in his early 20s after dropping out of high school.

The catch was the pressure of the environment, needing to be physically in peak shape (my uncle was an anomaly in lasting in the job until his late 40s), and the danger as he had several colleagues die on the job (worst I heard was due to the operators giving the wrong gas mix to the chamber). My uncle also definitely is a crazy man with a few screws loose, so that part checks out
You are right, I mixed the accents. Interesting, will lookup some words with ĥ.
> But obviously it's done a lot of things right to gain the reach that it has.

Indeed it has. It is a very accessible (and even moreso "available") language.

But it has so many odd (and frankly wrong) peculiarities that big projects tend to become more difficult more quickly because of the mess that is most Python code. Some of the footguns are so rediculous that you cannot believe they exist; and even more astounding is the apologist arguments for why they should be the way they are. This one is my favorite: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1132941/least-astonishme...

Since it is so accessible and has such a rich ecosystem, someone with little skill can cobble together a system which works well enough to get to production. But that junior developer pay rate cost (and ease of hiring) will mean that as the project matures and more and more features are added, the code more rapidly becomes incomprehensible. Everything being mutable, no types (except for bolted on, visually noisy, non-runtime linters), OOP missing some of the key information hiding features, awkward or half-baked functional features, and time/space performance problems all combine to make Python a terrible choice for non-prototype level projects.
It's not that good. you may get a huge pay check, but the work leaves lasting impacts months after coming out of it. All sorts of blood and muscle issues start piling up.
And people die all the time. It's more high risk than doing space walks.
> It could be argued that since Europe has already decided to never turn on Nordstream again...

If true, I don't understand why Poland would even need to do this. I'm going to go with Russia for reasons yet unknown because it's something only a shitty country like Russia would do.
Can you type with your thumbs while holding the device, or is this the kind of mini-laptop that you have to set down on a table or your lap to type on?
You're not wrong about that. Compared to the 1980s we've got a fantastically accessible record of all kinds of political bleating. If only we were using it to hold politicians and political parties accountable. At this point they just lie straight to our faces and no one loses their careers over it, or even their supporters. Only half the country at a time even consider it a scandal and it's never the half that would have voted for the liar anyway.
Partnership firms can be registered with the Registrar of Companies. It is relatively easy to register. To register, partners must provide the required documents and pay the registration fee to the Registrar. A Certificate of Incorporation will be issued once the firm has been registered.
What about Yamal running through Poland?
I would try and offer my services as a contractor - this way the employer takes less risks and reduces the cost of employing while giving you more flexibility in terms of work hours/style. Given you’ll manage well there’s no reason to take you in as a full time employee later on.. but if that’s the goal then I’d be clear with the employer.
> Surely Russia has no interest in sabotaging the pipelines that give them leverage over Europe. Without the pipelines, the whole "you lift the sanctions, we deliver natural gas" game is gone. Even if unlikely to happen, it would have been an important psychological and political factor over the winter.

Could be a simple matter of burning bridges. Or something we haven't thought of yet, but will probably figure out in the next week or so.
This is the largest codebase I've seen that makes extensive use of the new Python match: statement introduced in Python 3.10 - example: https://github.com/dosisod/refurb/blob/master/refurb/checks/...
You can't really separate clean and cheap because somebody will have to pay for the pollution eventually.
To the example, why recommend replacing a list with a tuple when it is about to be iterated through? I’d choose a tuple if it was to be destructured, but not for this. I know it works either way, but this one feels off.
Did I say anything about one of them being real or the other not? The world's become more "coastal" with more communications and infrastructure, for better or worse. If it bothers you so much that I call any amount of attention whatsoever to politicking realistically playing into whose hazardous town gets tax dollars to rebuild it and whose gets left to rot, it says more about you than me.
> Why is Putin direct interest destroy a source of income and leverage to the country!?!?

The logic isn't unreasonable. Nordstream is very clearly NOT a source of income, currently. But it could be, if Putin were deposed. Now the Russian gas interests are stuck with Putin, they don't win anything (in the near term) via a coup.

Add to that that clandestine adventurism like this is very much Putin's MO and not the USA's (we do our adventurism with giant flags and 24/7 news coverage), and... it seems the most reasonable guess.

Really the US doesn't have that much interest here, certainly not enough to provoke further escalation. If Ukraine were to straight up fall to Russia, we'd deal with it. That's what we all assumed was going to happen back in the spring anyway.
Do we have an article talking about some financial institutions suspending new mortgage offers in the Eurozone?

I'm not saying that inflation isn't a problem elsewhere, I'm saying that the issue in this scenario is that the markets are panicking due to general long term financial mismanagement and doubt over the sustainability of current policy from both the Government and the Bank of England.
It was around in 1990. Then as far as I know, it disappeared, until I stumbled across it in my old comp.cources.unix file in an old archive tarball, and had to bring it back to life and up to date.
What’s the difference ?
I'm so glad Apple is doing this!

It's a great idea, and it seems like they've put a lot of thought into it. I think it's great that they're focusing on women in the UK, too.
Ok, in the conference he specifically calls out Nord stream two but there is definitely a glint in his demeanor/timing that says "we can destroy it" when the journo exasperatedly asks "but how will you do that [put an end to NS2]"

Might be actually higher risk than space walks. There have been almost 1000 space walks (defined generously), and zero fatalities.
True, I learned it some time ago and it was a lot of fun, but also a bit impractical as a language if your objective is to communicate accurately.

The screen is 7 inch, and it has a chunky bezel.

I would imagine that you could hold this in your hands and type, but those squared edges and thick body might be uncomfortable.
I can't agree with that at all. Checked exceptions can all be bubbled up to a single catch if that's how you want to handle it. That hardly pollutes a codebase.
Similarly, some of these are just style. Using Path(x).read_text() rather than a context manager for opening the file for e.g.
Have to check it out. I wish there was a reasoning behind the suggestions though. Why choose a tuple instead of a list? I won't learn much from just following along. I am also much more likely to change something when I know the reason.

Will follow the project.
Car makers are very well aware of the lock-in possibilities and execute them already. They were just very slow to wake up to the fast raise of, how to call it, "software defined car", and start pouring endless money now into this.

The car makers usually defined the functions in their car and how to split that to the different computers (plus quite a few of this is fixed to specific computers, anyway). They also defined the data going back and forth between these, at least in part. Everything else was defined and done by the suppliers.

This entire approach was upended by increasingly powerful embedded hardware and possibilities resulting from it, which rendered the entire software stacks in the cars so complex, the car makers had to seize control over this again. Someone has to define the larger scale software architecture in a vehicle etc.

Combine that with that juicy lock-in scenario (I mean the big idea is to have cars connected all the time, like your phone), and you can bet on the fact that the car makers are very well aware of the possibilities which come with that (think of all the data which comes with that). And they are not exactly willing to just yield to the likes of Google or Apple because of it, i.e. we are talking really big money here.

How all this will play out in the longer run, lets see. Car makers sit on a lot of cash, so this will be a fight which will be going for a while.
Why is Putin direct interest destroy a source of income and leverage to the country!?!?

Because there's no political will to re-open it for the time being. Pushing the narrative that this was an American action benefits Putin in two ways:

- Spreads discontent in Germany (and elsewhere). While the EU is okay shutting down NS 1+2 for now if things are particularly bad this winter (weather, value against the dollar, inflation) being able to turn on pipeline again is a relief valve. Blowing it up and blaming the Americans makes it easy to push a narrative that lack of independence from America is putting the EU (especially Germany) at risk.

- While it would be really hard to spin an American attack on NS 1+2 as a rationalization for escalating the war (e.g. nukes), it does create a nice narrative that America is actively hurting Russia unfairly. Sanctions are a lot easier to lift than that pipeline is to repair. That kind of narrative could help popularize recruitment.

Look. Russia is already losing their war badly. The Russian draft is wildly unpopular and the US stands to lose a lot by antagonizing the American left (over environmental issues), Germany, and even Russia. If blaming America can help staunch the mass exodus in Russia and undermine NATO unity then blowing up the pipeline is a small price to pay.
Maybe someone read too much Tim Ferris! Never experienced it but never worked remote first. Agree that you need to call it out. With AI advances though this is going to get harder to detect!
Honestly employers have been kneecapping themselves with this. E.g. Google job posts usually post base salary for L3 even if the listing is obviously for L5/L6. The total comp is like 2.5x the advertised amount. Why wouldn't they try to put the biggest number they can get away with?
> This is kind of a weird op-ed. It frames this as though the costs are all red marker, but the costs of rebuilding include labor and materials and help to reinvigorate local economies. I'm sure there is a net cost, but it has been serviceable so far.

This is a (literal, not figurative) example of the broken window fallacy.

In Linux kernel, Different memory cgroups have distinct lruvecs, for memcg reclaim.

This mean global reclaim algorithm can look at all cgroup "memory.low", and reclaim first from cgroups that are using more than their "memory.low" config.

You need to make sure that the sum of all cgroup "memory.low" is still below total memory available. Leaving 20% buffer for when the whole system is under stress is a good rule of thumb.

In addition, any memory that's guaranteed but unused can be allocated to other processes, further optimizing memory utilization.
No, they normally require a usb power hooked up.
This could be engineered around--mostly the limitations are liability.

If you, the patient, take a glucose sensor, an insulin pump and tie them together with an app, you don't get to sue somebody if something fails and you die.

If a company takes all three of those, packages them together, and sells them, then that company is now liable when one of the pieces fails and you wind up dead.

The sad part is that AI/ML would be incredibly useful for all this. People could take pictures of their meals, upload their sleep and exercise data, and weigh themselves, feed all that into a cloud algorithm that could determine how you are likely to react and dial your insulin plan into your pump while feeding the glucose readings back to the cloud.

Sadly, I suspect none of this is going to happen in the US due to the liability. Maybe China will pull this off.
It would be cool to see a similar app primarily focused on VTubing, with more advanced filters or even full multi camera motion capture made easy to use, to create a platform where looks actually didn't matter.
I feel like "Being a Commie is genetic" is perfectly representative of the oddball ideological thinking that eugenics policies rapidly acquire, even if they didn't forcibly sterilize them.
Yes, I would say that is correct! Like I mention at the very bottom of the README, Refurb is not meant to be an all-in-one linter or formatter: Tools like black, flake8, mypy, etc. already exist, so trying to recreate what they do would be a lot of work. Refurb is more of an addition on top of the tools I previously mentioned, and less of an altogether replacement.

Yes? I think it might be more precise to say they support mixed markets than free markets. I think they'll entertain some more left wing ideas like UBI, but their ideology is fundamentally market based.

NPR I know for two reasons, they're one of the American news organisations pushing for the Iraq war the absolute least, and their economic stuff. I keep hearing how NPR is filled with deranged bash the fash marxists but I actually have never actually seen these people. Maybe their columns aren't as popular as the more mainstream columns at NPR.
I have neighbor that did deep commercial diving after he left the military. He was special ops so he was in top physical shape. I never asked how much he made, but he implied it paid extremely well.

But it was extremely dangerous. He didn't develop any long term issues, but he told one story where they suddenly lost a man. There was a quick shadow and then a man was gone. They found a piece of dive suit in the area. They believe it was a giant squid that got their buddy.
I too am a happy user of Fastmail, but I am plenty dissapointed with the file storage, which was one of the main reasons I switched to them 2 years ago (and not to a competitor). Their support in both cases was just awful and more or less ended in a "sucks to be you message":

1. I wanted to sync a folder from my Windows laptop to the storage through Webdav, using the Windows Explorer (which they list as a supported client). I would get speeds of maximum 5kb. Opened a ticket, went back and forth and the customer support person suggested that I try with another (paid) client to see if the speeds are better. I downloaded a trial, tried it out and it was indeed better. Reported back and the person says something summarized as: see? here you go, just use that client (that cost another 50 euros)

2. I find this one much worse: they disabled support for FTP access to the storage. I get an email 1 (ONE) day before saying something like: hey, there's no FTP starting tomorrow, we did send an e-mail but didn't include _you_, here's 15 dollars for your trouble. I was using FTP actively to back-up the website of my small business nightly. Of course I email support and tell them hey, c'mon, this is unnaceptable, you can't just tell me one day before, give me a solution, something. The reply came almost immediately and said: we sent an e-mail informing everybody 3 months ago, deal with it (???).

Unpopular answer: alcohol. Not while your working hours, of course.

When I first came to UK as a tourist, I traveled quite a few European countries and was of high regard towards my English. Bummer: starting from Heathrow border control I could barely understand people and they had to make an effort to understand me. Same at the hotel.

So I got to the nearest local pub and was sitting there really having hard reflections on my language skill, when someone approached me and says something like "Hey, mate, why the long face?". I tried to communicate and to my surprise it was easier than before. In a couple hours and few pints I was supporting not just a small talk, but the full fledged political discussion about Putin killing Litvinenko.

I read later, that alcohol, to put it simple, breaks our internal barriers. In my case language trouble was caused by such barrier named "I must be good at things". So I was trying to build correct phrases, use articles, tenses and so on. After couple of beers I just throwed all these out of the window and was more interested in listening to my peers and getting my words to them.

The same is correct for the work: everyone knows than you are not a native speaker, and no one expects you to use Shakespeare's language. All you need is to get the information from and to your team, no matter accent and other things.

If someone will snob you with your language skills - let them be, they probably don't have any other reason to feel themselves superior to you.
