I guess I needed to specify that a phone should still be a phone.

I apologize for my overestimation.

FWIW - I consider “notifications” a harmful anti-pattern.

There is no day-to-day thing that requires a notification.

Are you, too, tired of the rhyming?

You are a fintech dev using floating point? And your advice is to encode things as strings?

…

This is why I got out of fintech.

(I am sorry, I know there are horrors and I am sure I am not familiar with your exact scenario.)

Edit: just for anyone who passes by: try to stick with integers in a currency’s smallest unit of division. (This is only one small bit of this problem, but the number of times I have seen currency values in floating point makea me psychotic.)

Have you … ever watched Blade Runner?

The cars might be, but their weights are their weights and that is an apples to apples comparison in the context of

And now to make lighter EVs that don’t wear on the road so much.

🤷‍♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.

You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.

Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.

I have never experienced that in the various places in the US I have lived.

I have lived in an old building where the voltage could and would sometimes drop too much for modern electronics to handle. A power conditioner or UPS resolved that if you run into that particular problem.

I mean, yeah, but I grew up in the northeast. You get a power cut from storms, ice, winds taking branches down, etc. You would usually lose power for less than a day. This maybe happened once every couple years?

This was 30+ years ago for me now, but that kind of minor outage is almost unavoidable.

I’m not sure why Atlanta would have a harder time than upstate ny, but I am willing to believe you. Its just not been my experience anywhere I have lived (which has mostly been what you describe: above ground lines).

🤷‍♂️

I will admit to not having lived in the south. Maybe things are that bad down there, based on what you’re saying.

Where do you live that this is happening?

I ask because this hasn’t been my experience ever in the US having lived in cities and states of various sizes.

I will believe there are problems some places in the US, but I would then ask: are you living in a similar area as you were in the EU in terms of population and income?

Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.

☝️ an excellent breakdown of the actual situation.

Literally first search result.

What’s wrong with you?

Google is well known to do A/B testing, meaning you might not get a particular response (or even whole sets of results generated via different algorithms they are testing) even if your neighbor searches for the same thing.

So again, I ask how your anecdotal evidence somehow invalidates other anecdotal evidence? If your evidence isn’t anecdotal, I am very interested in your results.

Otherwise, what you’re saying has the same or less value than the example.

How would you expect to recreate them when the models are given random perturbations such that the results usually vary?

… does this work with the Republican base?

is there a Republican base anymore?

Is it a MAGA base now?

I’m confused about who’s who.

what are “narrow groups”?
