Re:Lotus Notes and the dangers of starting from scratch on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @11:47AM (#49628494)
The worst thing about notes was its ui revamp in 8. It was heavy and slow, I tended to run classic ui. Yes f5 was an issue but only until you did it a couple of times then you remembered.

It was funny I recall never having much to do on the domino server, and even the client was pretty stable. When we migrated to Outlook there were non stop server side issues.

The fact it had a built in DB was really useful for extension as well.

Imo it was ahead of its time and heavily hamstring by Outlook dominance as any nee user landing hated it simply because it wasn't outlook

To be fair had RAM prices not screwed up the steam machine consoles would have been dooms earlier. They are about to enter a slow decline before death

Re:Lessons Learned Shipping 500 Units of My First Hardware Product on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @03:13AM (#46882966)
I worked for a manufacturing firm years ago and a director once told me 30 was the magic number. Order 30 units and the error rate will scale from there if for example you get 3 in 30 broken you'll have about 10% broken no matter how many you order.

I'm happy to extend, star and raise an issue with a description. This is an alpha spec to get comments like this one.

It's not really for llms so much as its for understanding distributed systems. For example auto updating dependencies in service now so down stream alerts aren't fired for upstream events (today you have to config that manually) I just have to write the tooling

You also have an obligation to help the police solve the crime you reported by providing all and any relevant information.

The issue is that people don't always know what information is relevant / they think stuff is too minor to mention.

You wouldn't go to a doctors appointment and then say my body is private you cant examine me and expect them to go off just the info you provide. If the doctor asks to stick his finger up your rear to check your prostate you don't say er no thanks that's too private. You assume he has a good medical reason that he wants to do that and you let him confirm that you are healthy.

Isn't that the same though as if you have ill gotten funds / drugs, I steal them from you but you cant report that. I've still committed a crime against you but you cant report it due to the fact you committed a crime in the first place.

Kinda hard to feel sorry for a criminal being unable to report a crime.....

Absolutely, I agree. The presumption is innocent until proven guilty and the problem with sex crimes is even the accusation can completely destroy someones life regardless even if they are later found to have been innocent.

In reality it is no different from ANY other crime in that there needs to be evidence that a crime has actually been committed.

>This isn’t a “gap in the law” at all: it’s protection against incriminating yourself.

So someones life should be ruined if you falsely accuse them simply because you shouldnt be allowed to incriminate yourself?
