These dispensers are specifically called out along with "26% of spare parts" in a DoD audit. I assume the auditors know what they are doing, are well aware of the fact that qualification and traceability costs money, and factor this into their findings that these in particular are overpriced. And anyway, the audit doesn't call out Boeing, it calls out the Air Force for not checking invoices or getting justification for price increases.

Lessons learned from migrating off Confluence to open source – a hands-on guide
If you’ve ever had to migrate data off Confluence, you know it’s not as straightforward as it looks. Broken links, lost metadata, and keeping workflows intact can make the process a nightmare—especially if you’re dealing with large-scale or complex setups.

XWiki is hosting a free webinar, A hands-on guide to migrating from Confluence, that dives into practical strategies for tackling these challenges.

What’s interesting about this session:

It’s based on real-world migrations, so you get insights from actual projects, not just theory.
They cover both technical and organizational challenges, like keeping the process smooth for teams using the data.
They highlight where automation helps—and where manual intervention is unavoidable.
If you’re in the middle of a migration or thinking about one, it might save you some headaches.

The normal approach is to build overpasses or underpasses so that pedestrians have no need to go into the road.

What's New in PHP 8.4
I once put my old E36 BMW back together in the parking lot outside of my apartment following a front-end crash.

I'd have probably been more comfortable in a garage, wherein: I could leave things as they sat and would know that they'd be exactly where I left them when returning the next day.

But I didn't have a garage nearby that I could use. I kept the area clean and picked up all of my tools and detritus if I went in even for as much as a sandwich, and worked as expediently as my time would allow as I puzzled out this new-to-me problem of "bodywork."

I didn't get hear any complaints. The owner of the place would stop sometimes on his way through to make sure I was doing OK and would ask if I needed anything, and soon enough the car was put together better than it ever was on my watch.
Surprising, sure.

My memories of living in the UK is that there's a weird disconnect where "everyone walks" so walkers are treated as in-group and supported in their hobbies of walking, while "only lycra-clad fitness freaks cycle" so they're an out-group and demonised. This also extends to "how dare cyclists not need to pay road tax" when pedestrians also don't and also have essentially the same requirements for road surface quality, and lead to the same resurfacing requirements, as a bike.

Also, the UK romanticises the countryside — not just because it has some nice bits, but as part of its own national identity — and the imagined ideal when I was a kid was some old guy with a flat cap and a walking stick wearing tweed as they walk through it, not a cyclist.

Basically the imagery of 1974 J. R. R. Tolkien Calendar[0] (how did that ever happen?) crossed with Last of the Summer Wine[1].

> As a founder, you should use whatever you can to get eyeballs on your product.

I am not a founder so maybe my side of reasoning is flawed as a customer but I come in the belief that there is good advertising and bad advertising.

Some people consider both advertising to be good but I don't think so.

For example , the discussion we are having right now could be considered as an example of bad advertising
I mean , think about it , why are we discussing about the age of the product's creator in the first place aside from the fact that he tried to catch our precious attention by such advertising.

I also don't think that the current apple intelligence ads are good advertising. They are in the news / It was my first time watching an apple ads intentionally (I have ad blocker) , and I cringed half way through. I felt even righter that as an android user , I am right (maybe it was a self serving bias that because I am an android user , I watched iphone ad to improve my ego)

Maybe its my open source mentality but I am way way more impressed not by marketing fuzzbuzz but rather the merit of the tool , I don't care if its a zero star repo on github , (eg: https://github.com/heroslender/lg-remote)
I am his only star on his repo and I love his work that he has done on this project

My line of thinking is simple
if the tool has merit (for ideological reasons , I prefer open source) , I am going to use it.
But if you think that you can use catchy terms to catch my attention , well sure you got my attention , but in the long term I am going to remember how you got my attention in first place (whether on the basis of merit or marketing fizzbuzz) I really hate the latter
It's basically a dream. Maybe that's what dreams are? World prediction engine running with no sensor input and memory in read only mode?
> If unauthorized copying is akin to preventing a potential sale then using a gym ..

Theft of services and copyright infringement are two very different bodies of law and cannot be compared this way.

For example, at 11:59pm on New Year's Eve this year, if I sell you a copy of Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms", that violates copyright law unless I have an agreement with the copyright holder. However, if I wait 1 minute, it will enter the public domain, and I am free to do so.

There is no equivalent to the public domain for using a gym.

> Creator of the thing sets the terms.

The copyright holder sets the terms that end users agree to, which is rarely the creator.

For example, the copyright for commercial software is often held by the company, and not the software developers who created it. The work product of an employee is considered "work-for-hire", which means the employer is treated as the legal author.

Companies don't create. Unlike people, companies don't exist except as a shared consensus.

This means the people who make unauthorized copies of software are almost never breaking terms set by the creator, they are breaking terms set by the copyright holder.

The distribution oligarchy for fields like music and books puts the creator in a Faustian situation where technically the creator does set the original terms, but there's no real chance of distribution without transferring copyright ownership and control of terms over to the distributor, with little say on the end-user terms.

We can see a glimpse of what a "creator sets the terms" world looks like with copyright termination, where a creator can regain copyright after 35 years, as with Victor Willis and the YMCA song.

> But they do not have the right to alter the terms via stealing.

The legally correct ending is "via copyright infringement", because copyright infringement isn't stealing.

I mean, wage theft is much closer to stealing, and yet wage theft is usually (but not always) under civil law while stealing is usually under criminal law, so clearly the legal distinctions are important.

There's been hundreds of millions of dollars of advertising over the last 50 or so years to try to convince everyone that copyright infringement is equivalent to criminal theft or privacy. It's apparently worked on you.

Yet even though wage theft is massive, with dollar amounts which exceed actual theft, there's an almost complete lack of advertising equating the two. Almost as if the people who profit from copyright transfers from creators, and the people who profit from wage theft, have more control over advertising, and thus our perceptions of how things work.
Natural selection doesn't care about cost or advantage, only reproduction.
> “Living in a 3rd world country, 1 book would cost like 50%- 80% already of my daily wage,” one Redditor wrote.

Typical technical books are priced at upwards of $50. $100 a day is not poor by any means in 3rd world countries.
But it's true. I've written a novella-length book in emacs org mode and using a simple keyboard shortcut ended up with a generated ready-to-upload-to-KDP PDF.

As far as writing tools are concerned, nothing else has come even close and that's with very minimal config tweaking.

Can someone explain this, the italicized part below, in more detail?

>> When you approach from the side street, as a driver, the order of dealing with other traffic is different, but the priority is similar. First you will notice a speed bump. The complete intersection is on a raised table. Pedestrians would not have priority if the street was level, but now that it isn’t the “exit construction” rule could apply and in that case a crossing pedestrian would have priority. But for that rule to apply the footway should be continuous, and that is not the case here.

Also for pedestrians, in my experience. When I first visited the US 10 years ago, I wanted to leave the hotel to get to a nearby public transit stop to go into town. On the map, it was a distance of around 500m from hotel to transit stop (Market Center in Dallas). But getting there was quite an ordeal. This was the pedestrian walkway: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gvduBGYMQfxSVxcFA, it ended in a dirt path by the side of the road after a few meters. There was a better walkway on the other side of the road, but it was impossible to safely cross it without walking for nearly 700 meters into the other direction.

I'm not saying that Amsterdam was built from scratch, nor that Rome is somewhat so special that you can't apply solutions used elsewhere, but that urban space is an hard requirement and the more dedicated infrastructures you build, the more the value of the area goes up and so we end up with those beautiful walkable, green, neighborhoods in Milan where the "Vertical Forest" is that only the very rich can afford.

And in those parts of the city where space is basically free, people live too far from where they need to go by bike anyway.

It's a cat and mouse game, you need very dense, very small, almost flat cities, to get to the point where Amsterdam is, which is not that typical especially in Europe.
Such old urban places would just be car-free in the Netherlands (sometimes with limited access for delivery and emergency vehicles), a trend fortunately becoming popular in other European cities now.

The “urban” in the title is a bit misleading, this intersection is definitely more suburban, or on the boundary of an urban center. (Or rather, the author has a different definition of urban - in my definition cities like den Bosch are really just a small medieval urban core surrounded by continuous medium-density suburban neighborhoods.)

Why? It's a mostly democratic news aggregator site without much editorial overview, if you don't like it, downvote / don't upvote it, or write a client that filters topics you don't like out based on some keywords. You didn't need to open this page and comment on it if you don't like it, nobody's making you read things you don't like.
This touches on the "everybody else in the discipline" aspect I have been thinking about lately; my conclusion is that we have a spectrum of inclusive to exclusive sports.

Think about snooker: to live off it you need to be really good, as in train for 8+ hours a day, every day. The top player will earn multiples of 250k GBP a year, but already a 3rd ranker will at best do a "decent office job". Everybody else pays to play. This is an exclusive sport.

But look at UTMB[1]: A guy having a day job and training a couple of hours before and after work... was able to finish it under 100 hours, which is jaw-dropping. This is an inclusive sport.

Now pro boxing: you can't have a ranking without enough contenders, and by definition there can only be one champion at a time. So you have the champion, contenders, gatekeepers, journeyman and... everybody else is the filler. It's an inclusive sport, but by pure statistics most players will be filler.

Enter Arxygen AIWrite – a tool that’s genuinely transformed my business by offering an affordable, efficient, and easy-to-use content solution.

The Arxygen Difference: Affordable & Intuitive
The cost-effectiveness of Arxygen AIWrite is impressive – polished, professional optimised content at £0.75 a page. For a content writer managing multiple projects, keeping per-page costs low is essential, and Arxygen delivers. This means I can produce large quantities of content without blowing the budget which is a huge bonus.

But it’s not just about the price; it’s the user interface that really sealed the deal for me. Whether I’m at my desk or using my phone, Arxygen AIWrite is perfectly optimised for mobile. It’s refreshing to use a tool that doesn’t compromise on functionality for mobile users.

Writing on the Go: The Pub Test
One of my favourite moments with Arxygen AIWrite was a laid-back Sunday afternoon at the pub. With just my phone, I was able to set up 30 articles in the span of about three minutes. I simply activated the campaign, and all the articles uploaded directly to my WordPress site, ready for a quick review. In just a few clicks, they were scheduled to go live over time, letting me “set and forget” my blog for an entire month’s worth of content.

Seamless WordPress Integration
Arxygen AIWrite’s integration with WordPress has been a game-changer. The auto-upload function takes the hassle out of manually posting each article, and the tool makes scheduling a breeze. Within moments, I had 30 articles queued, ready to be published on my terms. This level of automation has freed up hours of my time and allowed me to focus on strategic growth rather than endless manual tasks.

Results & Impact on My Business
Using Arxygen AIWrite, I have been able to scale my content production like never before. It’s easy to use, affordable, and highly effective in generating consistent content quickly. If you’re a content creator, business owner, or agency in need of a tool that enables effortless blogging and automates the entire content workflow, Arxygen AIWrite is worth a try.

This should work in Python, too. With Django, I think you need to use https://pypi.org/project/django-browser-reload/, and rith most other frameworks / WSGI servers just try adding --reload flag.

Edit: Django should wor out of rhe box actually – that package is for refreshing the page in browser.

> Easy to deploy. Upload files, done.

I can see the appeal, but generally you’d want to avoid that (for anything other than quick prototypes, maybe). Set up a CI, push to deploy. This goes for modern PHP as well.

If you want something simple to deploy webapps and know a little Docker, I’ve built a deployment tool you can run on your own VPS: https://lunni.dev/. (Feel free to reach out if you need any help!)

> ...my family kept pressuring me to attain real success, girls, money and car and i became a programmer.

As a child of the 80s and 90s, "getting girls as a programmer" made me snort. Nerds do seem to have it a bit better now; the money/financial security of software development helps. But as a whole, we developers are still less socially capable than our sales/hr/marketing counterparts
That is how it worked when I was a kid on the 80s in Spain. I took the bus to school alone as an 8yo -- and I was considered a wimpy kid; my sister walked to school alone at 6.

Meanwhile here in Canada they attach colored ribbons on their backpacks so they won't be allowed off the bus unless an adult is there to escort them home. Watching a 10yo being escorted back and forth to the bus stop is so sad.

Personally, I blame the speed and amount of car traffic in our streets. Drivers routinely break the speed limits and oftentimes by the time they come to a stop they are already blocking the crosswalk.
Interstate road quality chart is rough... It's like somebody dropped the ball on maintenance of those exactly 30 years ago.

? You're making a generalization / judgment based on... the amount of comments left only two hours after it was posted, late at night in the US and early in the morning in Europe. It's also very much a meta-comment instead of something substantial about the subject at hand, which isn't encouraging discussion about the thing itself but actually draws the focus on it being Chinese, which most people weren't even aware of until you drew attention to it.
Haha, same! I think the most nationalistic thing I ever did was when I went on a "field trip" to Copenhagen with the classmates of my international master studies, and constantly complain that the bike infrastructure was so disappointing. I have to admit Copenhagen hasn't been sitting still and improved in the last decade though!

I try to frame it more like a friendly rivalry with Denmark (or more accurately, Copenhagen), since nobody else even tried to rival us until very recently. Looking forward to everyone else catching up though!

(also, I live in Sweden, making fun of the Danes is a legal requirement to be considered integrated into local society)

that's the hardest part that everyone always ignores.

first you have to remove cars from the streets, than it's becomes easier to implement biking infrastructures.

Not agreeing with any of this.

- "Launch their satellites for them, at 400km."

No reasonable person would help their adversary build powerful weapons that could immediately be used against them. The point of satellite constellations—Chinese or American, either—is to create undeniable, high-bandwidth communications for armies; to create real-time (as opposed to sporadic) satellite imagery for armies; to create, in short, an overwhelming situational awareness advantage in a conventional war.

- "Give them cash or territory."

We are not giving away countries.
