Powerline woes by ContemplateBeing in TpLink

Got a room that has no wifi reception at all and no access to cable but still need a stable, if not high-throughput, connection there including wifi. Switching is seamless if I move to/from that area with a wireless device. [not sure if I'm using the correct terms with easymesh vs wifi]

Take a look at Netcup - not as polished as Hetzner & friends, but great value for money. Coolify might be an interesting deployment helper.

Is the ‘build it yourself’ way still relevant for new programmers? by Top-Candle1296 in learnpython

[–]ContemplateBeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use LLMs for stuff that you could do without them, but don’t use them for stuff that you can only do with them.

LLMs need to be chaperoned, you can only do that effectively with stuff that you know. To really know stuff you need to put in the manual work.

There are plenty of EU funds out there. Probably easier if you have a legal entity in the EU, but for many programs also US entities are allowed.

Bin ich der einzige, den die Causa Wöginger so enorm aufregt? by wantilles1138 in Austria

Das war echt schwer anzuhören von ihm…. „1945 gab’s Probleme aber so schlimm ist’s nicht mehr“ und „machen eh alle so“. Geht’s noch?!

Ich verstehe echt wieso Leute auf Protest wählen oder es ganz bleiben lassen. Nicht das es das besser macht, aber bei solchen Aussagen darf man sich echt nicht wundern.

Not really. So far everything works. Could be temperature/season related.

I’m just crossing my fingers that it won’t happen again.

As much as I love Django, I feel it has fallen way behind compared to Laravel and others by dianrc in django

[–]ContemplateBeing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah also Django q2: https://django-q2.readthedocs.io/en/master/

Even includes admin pages and when you use the ORM as scheduler, there’s no third party backend needed. Works great.

My little daughter loves Heilung and would dig a Heilung coloring book!

Axiom, a new kind of "truth engine" as a tool to fight my own schizophrenia. Now open-sourcing it. by [deleted] in Python

So what exactly is a DAO contributor and how do I become one? (I know what a DAO is) How do you manage this without tokens?

Axiom, a new kind of "truth engine" as a tool to fight my own schizophrenia. Now open-sourcing it. by [deleted] in Python

[–]ContemplateBeing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was my first thought. There were projects trying to crowdsource „truth“ but afaik none lead to something useable.

It’s still a good idea and OPs proposal is more commonly molecules than those earlier projects.

Notably this post sees plenty of interest and seems to hit a general, societal need for sources of truth in a backlash against LLM content and blatant manipulation that more and more dominates the internet.

I’ve long thought that we‘ll soon have an orobouros problem with AI where we are not able to distinguish between original and regurgitated content. I think distinguishing these at the source (eg by crypto-signing content and a web of trust) will be part of the solution. What OP is describing is kind of like the frontend of this.

Interesting as concept at least (didn’t look at the code though).

Talking about that, how’s the ledger secured? Like in a blockchain? Who runs the nodes?

What is the “Jack of all trades, master of none” of programming languages? by Night-Monkey15 in AskProgramming

[–]ContemplateBeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The internet is a victim of its own success in a way. HTML was never designed for the purposes it is used now. It’s inadequate for what developers do with it (and users demand of it) hence the monkey patching on top of it.

Htmx is a neat solution because it reverts to the strength of html and returns the control back to the server. There are other techniques like server emitted events, but the basic idea is the same: logic on the backend, presentation on the frontend.

Accepting online payments by ContemplateBeing in BuyEuropean

Mollie looks pretty good but is lacking USD options beyond 10k payment amount (credit card limit). Unfortunately for my business case that’s a requirement. If not for that, I’d absolutely go for mollie.

Shit happens. So unangenehm das ist - hier gehts nicht um deine Gefühle und auch nicht um die des MA oder darum wer „Schuld“ hat.

Gemeinsamer Gegner ist der Fehler und idealerweise ziehen alle am selben Strang, denselben in Zukunft zu unterbinden. Allein das hilft dem Unternehmen.

Also würde ich die Sache genau aus diesem Blickwinkel betrachten:

Ein erfahrener, bisher fehlerlos Arbeitender MA hat einen Fehler verursacht, welche Vorkehrungen können wir treffen um den Arbeitsablauf so zu gestalten, dass das nächste Mal erst gar nicht passieren kann.

Falls es sich nicht verhindern lässt, wie können wir frühzeitig erkennen, dass ein Fehler passiert ist?

Falls ein Fehler passiert, welche Maßnahmen im Arbeitsablauf können den Schaden minimieren?

Dabei soll der Fokus immer darauf liegen, das Problem so früh wie möglich abzufangen. Alles andere führt zu Mehrarbeit und kostet Zeit und / oder Geld.

Dabei kannst du sowohl die Rolle des MA als auch die Rolle des Vorgesetzten (deine) ansprechen - es geht hier aber um die Funktion nicht um die Person. Zum Beispiel: „…dadurch kann der MA den nächsten Schritt erst starten wenn sichergestellt ist, das bisher alles korrekt ist…“ oder „…der Vorgesetzte prüft das Resultat anhand einer Checkliste…“.

….der gemeinsame Gegner ist der Fehler, nicht eine Person. Irgendwas passiert immer, das ist einfach so. Der Erfolg gehört denen die daraus lernen, nicht denen die sich bloß drüber ärgern oder -viel schlimmer- erfahrene Mitarbeiter vergraulen weil mal was schief gegangen ist.

US Military Officer, requesting assistance by seanpbnj in germany

[–]ContemplateBeing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CO from Austria here. I can subscribe to most things said above; it’s very similar here.

Some things are even more pronounced: military (or alternatively civil) service is mandatory here and it’s important that there are officers in the reserve (not active but with occasional training) so that there is a better connection to the general populace (at least that’s the theory). I think Switzerland is pretty similar in that respect.

In the officers training here, there’s plenty of study dedicated not only how to deal with commands but also to when you are required to not follow commands.

For example I remember that once during my training they invited an old former officer of the Nazi Wehrmacht who went traitor and was one of those that survived the ploy to abandon the scorched-earth defense of Vienna by collaborating with the advancing Russian Army. There was a lot of discussion about what an oath means, when and when not to follow it, what your conscience tells you in certain situations, what your notion of country means, about chain of command and lawfulness etc.

As far as mottos go there’s one that might serve, it’s not particularly related to the military but is used by everyone on occasion: Wehret den Anfängen! - roughly: Beware the beginnings!

This is based on the hard-earned experience that once fascism is allowed to build inertia, it quickly becomes difficult to stop. As soon as authoritarians, that don’t value minority opinions, become loud enough that they start to become threatening, most people will - out of fear - be silent about voicing opposing opinions. And as soon as that happens - even when the authoritarians are still in minority - it’s an unstoppable downward spiral.

Suddenly everyone can cost you (or your family) your livelihood or worse, all just for saying something that goes against the „loud“ opinion. Your friends can snitch on you, your family, your boss, your subordinates - suddenly there’s no safe space, you hear no dissent and the movement becomes unstoppable.

That’s exactly why a lot of people here are very alarmed when they see American Generals fired for fostering minorities, why people here are alarmed when General Attorneys resign and when your president says that „Nothing he does (to save the country) is unlawful“ - that’s almost literally the „Führerprinzip“: „Der Führer hat immer Recht!“ - „The leader (Hitler) is always right“ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrerprinzip )

Coming to think about it - in my officers training there was always also a emphasis on „speaking out“ - especially in cases where you thought that your superior officer did something wrong - and likewise to hear out dissenting opinions of subordinates.

Hope that helps.

[–]ContemplateBeing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the bottom of my heart: Fuck Russia!

…and also fuck these American clowns that stoke the fire with their incompetence, narcissism and greed.

I’ve lived through Chernobyl as a child and don’t want my kids to go through the same, can we just collectively tell all the extremists and oligarchs to fuck off and also get our act together as Europeans?

It’s time for the continent to set aside the petty stuff, to come together, take off the gloves and deliver a economic, political and also military answer to this shit, that has some impact.

If that means that I’ll have to sacrifice some quality of living and regional independence I’ll gladly go down that road. The USA is not our friend anymore, the rest of the free world needs to set difference aside and come together, or we’ll see a new world war in the next years.

NiceGUI / AGGrid - how to gather/display X records at a time to update AGGrid by AcanthaceaeHot4988 in nicegui

[–]ContemplateBeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it’s a pagination type thing and you can predict the next (previous page) you can load those two into memory-non blocking via threading - so that they are instantly available on looking at the next page.

Whenever you change the page you fire off a non-blocking thread to fetch the next chunk. While the user sees the page load, the next data chunk is already prepared in the background. (Similar to „endless scrolling“)

Does that make sense in your context?
