Thanks for your reply, very interesting, I didn't know about the `sqlx.ExtContext` interface yet! I will do a deeper dive into your project later, I'm hoping to find more inspiration.

Wow, I find this quite interesting, however, there are probably some real downsides to this? Maybe someone else can highlight some of those.

An issue I can think of is for instance: consider a system where each time a new request comes in a new transaction is started. That situation would result in having a new `DBImpl struct` for each request. It seems that that last "but you probably only have one of these DB objects" doesn't hold. How would you tackle that issue?

Why not map escape to caps lock with QMK or VIA? If you cannot miss your caps lock, place that behind a layer. There are quite some options to tackle this as long as you can flash a custom keymap.

I'm sorry, what is the exact benefit of running multiple nodes on one piece of hardware? Just software failure resilience?

My understanding is that Interledger is the backend which Coil uses to send payments. Interledger is able to use multiple currencies, ranging from crypto to fiat. Ripple is mostly just building the infrastructure for it, enabling growth in the crypto ecosystem.

I think, for them, the payoff would be that using XRP is be the cheapest solution in the end, which would make it interesting. Also quite important, they also directly benefit from there being more entries in all orderbooks, since their software will be more efficient (ODL, on-demand liquidity). They have a benefit for the entire (all cryptos) ecosystem to thrive.

Re:Curl Wttr.in on Friday June 26, 2020 @05:07AM (#23650086)
I wasn't sure what F you were talking about, if other people are wondering, the new command would be:

  w () {
     curl -s "wttr.in/$1?M1qF"
  }

Hey, just noticed a small mistake, or it was just unclear from my side. Looks like the "pricing" link links to "learn" in the url, while there being nothing about pricing in the page itself.
Re:Magic Roundabout (Swindon) on Thursday January 23, 2020 @01:12PM (#22130038)
Having lights there defeats a lot of the roundabout. The turboroundabout definitely does not have traffic lights. Look at this[0] implementation, the one you linked qualifies as a "turboplein".

Works just fine in the real examples of these roundabouts, this[0] is a better example which is widely implemented in the Netherlands. The bollard thingies are really small, but don't encourage driving over them. Emergency vehicles can go over just fine.

This[0] is a very elaborate version of the turbo roundabout, checking it out in streetview might help. But basically the roundabout functions more like a standard junction with room to choose a direction before turning (I don't think there is an English translation for "voorsorteren", or sort before...).

Re:My transition to an Ubuntu workstation on Wednesday October 23, 2019 @12:32PM (#21336277)
NixOS feels great, I love it. The only gripe I have with it is the inability to just run a custom binary on it. For me the explanations on how to get it to work or write a ?Nixpkg? file was not very clear. Now I'm back on ubuntu and missing the simplicity of NixOS, everything was just so simple and light. I've used ubuntu, arch, manjaro and elementeryOS before, but NixOS felt the nicest.

I don't want to distrohop anymore, Arch was awesome and NixOS feels like the next step. But it doesn't really feel ready for a (maybe) less experienced user. It feels a bit like gentoo in the way that you need to re-link the libs for non-nixos packages or package a binary you just built yourself.

I think the thing I'm going to try next is PopOS with only the Nix package manager, it feels like a good middle ground between living in configs and no hassle with non-entry level documentation.

I'm pretty sure that here in The Netherlands it applies to the date the vehicle receives a license plate.

The only think to remark is that ?two? years ago the same situation occurred with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, thousands were ordered and the end of the year was approaching. A couple of people worked around the clock to register them all before the 1st of January to ensure the tax benefits (At least that is what I heard at that time).

You're probably too late, the ordering date to get a model 3 for this year has (almost) passed. They're saying that the order has to be confirmed before today 22:00 (oct 6), otherwise Tesla cannot guarantee the 2019 delivery date.

Re:A honeypot programmed in Micropython for the ESP8266 on Sunday October 21, 2018 @07:27AM (#18267554)
A way more interesting and more complete honeypot is https://github.com/honeytrap/honeytrap. It combines a great list of services exposed to the internet and is very extendable. Currently development has a somewhat lower priority, but in the near future, it'll be ramped up.
