The difference between Linux and Windows is almost night and day. On my monster workstation, for example, I have managed to idle it down to 16W (or around 24W with a dGPU. it has alder lake, 6 SSDs in softraid and 128GB of RAM). I never managed to do anything less than 40W in Windows.

> 5W which is more in line with NUCs and everything else I've ever seen from a mini-PC.

Even on this very thread you have been quoted lower numbers. Just search around.
It would be great to be able to add some additional data beyond the listings to augment decisions.

For example passmark scores or power usage for an identified CPU.

I see there is very little standard format in the listings, so might need some logic to extract/guess at CPU versions etc.
Shame can be a very positive emotion like this :)

Well, I answered part of it ("Fine if short form, annoying if long form") but you seemed at first to find it aggravating no matter what.

Yeah, tricking people into thinking something is short when it's actually long is obviously shitty, no matter the approach.

An alternative to the “ball on rubber sheet” model of gravity is “twisting a lump out of a sheet of silly putty.” You get the same curvature without relying on gravity to serve as a model of gravity (which always bothered me a bit)

For clarity, here’s what I mean: if you flatten out some silly putty (or pizza dough should work) then pinch and twist together some of the sheet into a lump, that pulls along the surrounding putty. So, if you drew lines on the putty then pulled it into lumps, you’d see the distortion to the lines.
Most people in real life aren't using twitter actively at all, and they survive just fine? The only people I know who use it are tech workers in the conference scene, in my real world social circles there is nobody.

Personally I would check my providers website/status page in such circumstances.
It's still full fledged C++, you just don't use many of the features, and the compiler leaves out all of the associated code.

The average age of a car in the US is 12.6 years old right now. History shows that we’ve not forced safety items into existing cars. (I have one car where I would be permitted to pass safety inspection without seat belts (any) because it wasn’t originally equipped. [I have chosen to add them.])

Yep, came here to make a similar comment.

My sister used some random free QR generator to open your email app with a “to/subject” filled out. There was no sign up and she didn’t know to check to QR code itself. Instead of being a normal QR code (QR codes support the email case directly, as part of the “spec”) it was a link to the QR company’s website that immediately bounced you to the the right url to open your email.

After a month or so they emailed her (using the email address she entered for the code) and told her to pay up or the code would stop working.

These people are scum. Make it clear it’s not a standalone QR Code (and there are potential upsides to this, to be fair, like updating where the qr code points) and don’t bait and switch.
I don't think insurance companies need to distribute risk from auto insurance. They do, however, need it for property insurance. Floods, earthquakes, and fires and level thousands of homes quickly. There isn't any risk like that for driving.
Because a sunny day at the equator is about a kilowatt per square metre. A typical mobile phone display is about 100 cm^2 (0.01 m^2), so you would need to emit 10 watts to match sunlight.

As far as I can tell OLEDs are 20% efficient or less so you would need an input power of 50 W. Even at 60 deg. N where I live we get over 300 W/m^2 in August so would still need about 15 W of input power to the display.
When you're designing something that sells for a dollar to retailers, eg. a birthday card that sings, your boss won't let you spend more than about 5 cents on the microcontroller, and probably wants you to spend 1-2 cents if you can.
As a hybrid MBA-Dev-PhysicsPhD who has refused to give up my technical and scientific skills to join the caste of managers, this resonates deeply with me.
My guess to the effectiveness of “founder mode” is that this it legitimizes skill-boundary-crossing.
When even competent engineers become MBAs, they can get disavowed by fellow engineers, and all level of technical input is “micromanaging”. But having full-scope founder-level rights to call BS at all levels, and do real time risk assessments af low levels while automatically matching it with the company mission, is so uniquely valuable, that the lack thereof is enough for me to posit that to be what we see when management changes.
- It isn’t universally applicable, you do need to be gifted in the various aspects of the company, but still.

May I ask, what experience do you have with other ORMs?
You are correct in your entire assessment, yet, you seem to underestimate the number of boring CRUD applications serviced by mediocre programmers. Limiting the number of technologies required to have at least a little knowledge in is a benefit, even if it hampers performance, because performance doesn’t matter for the vast majority of cases. Software engineers tend to overvalue that bit; the users of line-of-business apps don’t have a say anyway, but what matters is quick adaptability to changes in business logic.

So having an ORM in place that is tightly integrated in Python and Django lets even the junior developer fresh from the bootcamp make changes to an existing application.

It’s not a pretty story, but in my opinion the reason for staggering layers of complexity is the ability to move quickly even without experts on the team.
If only this could call webhooks upon detecting new hardware on the network
I strongly believe that proactively keep documentation up to date is not worth the effort.
Here is what I recommend in my teams:

- There’s an onboarding guide that is usually only updated when new people onboard. If something is not right they raise it and their onboarding partner fixes it.

- When someone shares a technical document/RFC we add it to a central repository with a creation date on it. These are point in time and usually not updated but still useful for new hires.

- We sometimes do onboarding sessions to walk through the architecture, these are recorded and added to the central information repository.

Note that in the things I wrote above there’s a mix of up to date content and slightly outdated content, ultimately the code is the source of truth. It’s not worth spending time writing docs that no one is gonna read.
I've been using a 13.3" Dasung Paperlike HD-FT e-ink monitor since 2020. The refresh rate is fine for reading and writing code, and most websites are easily usable in black and white. I normally use a terminal-based text editor in light-mode with syntax colouring turned off. It's not great for detailed videos, but sometimes it's good enough.

Dasung have since released 25.3" monochrome and color e-ink monitors, and a more portable 12" color e-ink monitor.

Properly set speed limits would not need to be routinely disregarded. We don’t have those right now (IMO).

> For pythonistas reading this: JVM and .NET frameworks are better for large projects in the sense that they turn even the simplest projects into large messes of pointless byzantine buggy architecture, which in some circles is a sign of "high quality".

You got to back up this claim. The technologies you mentioned are entirely orthogonal to the architecture you are using.
> What do you want/need this for?

Some things don't get stuck in my memory, like the current year or my own age. My own age is easy to calculate as long as I know the current year, but the current year isn't always easy to remember for some reason, especially the first 6 months of each year. Most of the time I just have to think for 10-15 seconds to remember it though, so isn't the end of the world exactly.

And no, my memory is generally fine, it's just some "sometimes changing" numbers that just don't get persisted correctly, or they're stored correctly but my retrieval microservice is too janky to retrieve stuff fast enough.
No that’s not it. Conventional managers are very ambitious and sincerely want their business to do great.
Twitter routinely complies with censorship demands by foreign governments, especially right-wing authoritarian ones.

https://restofworld.org/2023/elon-musk-twitter-government-or...

Since Musk took ownership, the company has received 971 government demands, and fully complied with 808 of them.
Before Musk, Twitter's full compliance rate hovered around 50%; since the takeover, it is over 80%.

It's in the standard docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/migrations/#ver...

You just rename one of the two files, and add the dependency. If they touch the same fields, you obviously have to resolve that manually.
Docs should be as close to source code as possible, ideally in the same repo so they can be updated and reviewed in the same PR as the source changes themselves. Markdown works fine.

For docs that don’t relate to source, just have a repo for general docs.
Not only is Confluence absolute crap, tech docs in it rot because it’s a separate system developers don’t want to use. Similar story for MediaWiki.
Likely not the reply you were looking for, but in theory a PineNote would be a great "donor" device for modification. For example - get your favorite SBC (Raspberry 5?), figure out how to connect it (likely eDP, documentation shouldn't be hard), make a new shell/body and you're done!

...If you have the technical know-how, time, space, tools and motivation of course.

It's not that no one does such stuff (see r/cyberdeck), but yeah admittedly if you're not an engineer it likely isn't the easiest.

This is a short read - https://overreacted.io/goodbye-clean-code/

But it captures it perfectly, a large number of engineers go from jr to intermediate with their new found tricks. Except they cling to these tricks like it’s law, they have upskilled in one direction while sacrificing the open minded pragmatism for dogmatism. They’ll argue with you about these things, it’s in a book how can you not adhere to it!!?

If you can onboard these lessons and still recognise the spots where it’s begging for some best practice but you should break the rule this time, then congrats you’re ahead of the curve, it takes most engineers a frustratingly long time to get pragmatic. If I had a penny for every awful DRY abstraction that became impossible to reason about, I’d have retired.

I said as much in my comment, pointing out that these scientists with differing takes were not the bad guys: “These scientists believed they were asking reasonable questions and pointing out potential inaccuracies.”

The bad guys were the people who took this receding debate within the field as evidence of conspiracies and worse, and convinced thousands of people to treat their AIDS condition with quackery instead of effective drugs derived from the HIV-AIDS theory. The organized denialism killed people. That’s not science.
I've documented how to onboard to my team and start doing dev work, and have received positive feedback from new team members as well as people who have been around a while and are starting to work in my area, saying that it was easy to follow and they went from 0 to coding in under 15 minutes.

So it can be done. The how is less about tools and process and more about simply making it a focus. I consider documentation of how to work with the codebase to be as much a core feature of the product as anything customer-facing. It is maintained, tested, and updated as deliberately as any other feature, and we log bugs on it and call out missing updates in PRs.

I use the README in our primary repo to be the starting point, and link to other places as needed. I include all the pre-reqs and instructions to get running, without assuming anything is already on their system or they know anything about our organization. Or even what OS they are running. And I include a goal-based list of FAQs - How to add a model, create a new API endpoint, change front-end routing, create new front-end components, tie everything together into a new feature, etc. How we branch, how we interact with PRs, team standards and norms, etc.

Exactly what your docs say will vary based on what type of work you are doing, but the key is to make documentation a primary feature of the product, and treat it as such when testing and reviewing code.

Well, for some people, they know exactly what date it is, and what week number it is, does that mean we shouldn't show that either, because it's such a basic knowledge to know for some?

I thought Django’s ORM was awesome (seriously).

And yet using it was such a shit experience I switched permanently to writing SQL.

I see zero advantage to using an ORM over SQL and in fact see many downsides.

Don’t use an ORM just learn SQL. It’s faster, more direct, more powerful, easier to understand, allows you to make full use of the power of the database and your knowledge isn’t suddenly valueless when you go to a project with a different ORM.
I don’t really understand this, I was very much underwhelmed by the admin UI, and feel like I’m missing something? I mean what does it do other than list records and provide some basic forms to CUD those?

It feels like much of the value in that is achieved even better by using a proper database client, say, JetBrains‘ database integration. I certainly wouldn’t let any business people touch a Django admin panel, or at least those I’ve seen built by our data guys. Way too technical.

And don’t even get me started on extensibility. I wanted to have like, an additional page to include a Grafana iframe plus a bunch of buttons. Something that would take me about five lines in Laravel, for example. Good luck even searching the documentation for this…
At the beginning of my career I always thought it would be amazing to have complete documentation and extensive onboarding guides. Over the years I've realized that every attempt at documentation failed and always gets out of sync too quickly. Especially as you'd have to update documentation you don't even know existed if you change some behavior that is also used / documented in other places by another team.

People sometimes don't agree and say "Chat isn't documentation", but being good at Slack search and sharing information on Slack with the right keywords (function names, column names etc.) is a super power. It always allows me to track down why a decision has been made or find the right people with context on a particular topic faster and more efficient than any documentation would ever do.

Metrics, GitHub search, Slack search, Source code comments are way more valuable than any documentation that will almost all the time be outdated in some parts. I believe that people who can work with that and know how to get information themselves vs. needing everything to be neatly summarized or collected for them in onboarding guides are the ones you want in your team.
Yeah, so many people just seem to be unable to put themselves in the situation. It is astonishing.

It is a huge red flag to me when people recommend Django ORM without admitting the pitfalls of the Active Record pattern. This is a problem which simlpy doesn't need to exist and it's wasting computing and dev resources time and time again.

This is particularly absurd. “The first amendment” isn’t a paragon of freedom unique to the US. And it only applies to government censorship. You can’t “export it” to other countries by means of a social network.
