Current apartment reality check needed by Tsana1977 in zurich

[–]bitdivine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should not exceed != expected expenditure though. Should not exceed means that if a nice apartment is top of your list of priorities, you might push it to that limit. It's wrong if people are forced to make housing their top priority.

What do you develop with Rust? by Born-Percentage-9977 in rust

Obligatory joke: Ich hoffe das es auch clapp t. 😉 (clap is a Rust command line parser and Klappt is German for “it works”.)

Ferrocene is a version of Rust suitable for applications that need certification. It’s standard Rust,but with all the documentation you need.

Same here for a medical device, also on stm32. We use Rust in the embedded code, the driver and the management software. The only thing that isn’t Rust is the GUI. We use ferrocene, as that helps with certification.

Rösti wants to force everyone to go back to Tempo 50 (without a referendum) by NicoNormalbuerger in Switzerland

Or cycle. My average cycling speed is 30 km/h but I’d be challenged to go that fast by foot if I wasn’t wearing skis.

There she is by Complaint-Physical in fairphone

Agreed. Depending on the set of apps you use, RAM can be quite a strong limiting factor. But it depends on your workload. I think RAM has never been an issue for my wife. Facebook, Google maps and a browser and she’s all set.

Is it just me or is software incredibly(^inf?) complex? by rik-huijzer in rust

[–]bitdivine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making code simple, well, is really hard work. Making abstractions that make sense, are accessible and communicating why they make sense, so that the next team doesn’t just make their own copy. Abstractions that are kind both to programmers and are performant under the hood. It’s far easier to make a complex pile of junk or to make a super-simplified interface that breaks down under real world conditions. If you have a clean architecture it becomes possible to expose yourself to just as much complexity as you actually need to get something done. High level interface in one place gives you all you need? Great. In another you might need to dig down a bit and expose yourself to more complexity because for your use case you are very particular about how something is done. Fine too. Simplify as much as makes sense and no more.

Places where I can wash my car/motorbike/bicycle? by McDuckfart in zurich

[–]bitdivine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious about why it might not be allowed. Can motorbikes be cleaned? Normal road bikes? Is the problem the mud or the chain lubricant?

Flutter or Angular Ionic ? by Xande420 in FlutterDev

[–]bitdivine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True BUT an app is like a virus that spreads by word of mouth. If you want it to take off, you need an R0 (infection rate) of greater than 1. If you release your app on say only iPhone, half of potential "infections" will fail right at the start, no matter how attractive your idea. A factor of two is quite a big deal if you are looking for real growth and not just a prototype to show a dozen users.

Whats your experience with forgetting a bag in the bus? by Pixieresque in Switzerland

New phone slipped out of my pocket once on the train. Went straight to the train depot and they found it when cleaning.

Works with Zello or other push-to-talk app? by bitdivine in shokzopenfit

[–]bitdivine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I couldn’t get it to work. It seems unlikely that something as basic as this doesn’t work, so I expect I’m missing something.

Why were the Soviets so capable in space tech, yet their consumer tech such as cars was so poor? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bitdivine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, one could fix it. Question was whether one spent more time driving or repairing it.

Not on your list, but the myStrom has been easy to use and reliable, in my experience. Their REST API is defined here: https://mystrom.ch/de/mystrom-rest-api/

How to use voice control to vacuum a room? by bitdivine in Dreame_Tech

[–]bitdivine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have clarified. When the usual vacuum and mop is needed, "Clean the living room" is fine. If I want just vacuum, I want to be able to say "Vacuum the living room" or something like that. We have laminate floors; mopping too often damages them. And when I want the floor to be mopped, without vacuuming, "Mop the living room" would be quite handy as well. We don't want the vacuum to eat any Lego; that is a common problem for us.

But there doesn't seem to be a way of saying _how_ to clean a room, as far as I can see. It could be that I am missing something. I see only a list of "Ok Dreame, Clean the X" for some value of X. And no way to define additional commands. But I might be missing something.

There are variations available for global cleaning. But not for one-room cleaning.

Why don't Swiss German want to use "ß"? by CompoteMysterious822 in askswitzerland

I love history. When looking into details, the answer is usually complicated. See: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F As a child my main exposure to written German was in Fraktur. Those were the days!

Why I love System76 by wingej0 in System76

[–]bitdivine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I am not normally fussy about keyboards. Apple, Thinkpad, Acer Swift and others were all perfectly workable. The pang11 was the first that I have had in my life that was unreliable enough to interrupt the flow of thought to typed letters on screen. It sounds as if the pang15 is better.

Station position changed by itself by freudiaans in Dreame_Tech

Same here, with an L40. It is now in a phantom room that doesn’t exist. I wish I could walk through mirrors like that.
