@KassandraSanch Streamer for my music stereo: runs Volumio with an audioquest dragonfly USB DAC. Rest of the audio system is 30 yr old analogue amplifier and speakers.

What have you done with your raspberry pi? Mine is sitting in a drawer and I need ideas 💡

@f1elvis Great. Also let’s introduce a 3rd car for each team that has to be driven by a young talent that has proven him(/her)self through the ranks of junior classes.

What’s the general opinion of fans on bringing an 11th team into #F1?

Less than 31 hours since OpenAI started dropping the ChatGPT vision feature on pro users... People are scratching their heads in disbelief. 10 wild examples:

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

@EmbdenWouter Ga je ze actief balanceren tijdens gebruik? Of periodiek?

Eerste de 16 cellen naar 3,43 volt gebracht. Nu staan ze parallel te balanceren. Binnenkort aan de omvormer #thuisbatterij

@DThompsonDev Reminder that to a lot of people, information technology is just like magic. They don’t understand the basic concepts behind it.

As a software developer, this whole thing was rough to watch today.

🤯🤯Well this is something else. GPT-4 passes basically every exam. And doesn't just pass... The Bar Exam: 90% LSAT: 88% GRE Quantitative: 80%, Verbal: 99% Every AP, the SAT...

@housecor That’s not microservices but a distributed monolith. Plenty of red flags as indicated. Also, microservices can be done both with multi vs mono repo strategy, each with their pros and cons.

I'm working with a SPA that has a dedicated backend composed of over a dozen microservices. Each service has its own repo, and its own DB, even though all services are built and maintained by one team. I do not recommend this. 🚩Can't do atomic commits 🚩Lots of friction jumping between repos and DB's 🚩Hard to configure CI, or to manage cross-repo breaking changes 🚩Repeated code between repos 🚩Hard to maintain data integrity between DBs 🚩Requires many HTTP calls to load a page (there's no BFF) 🚩No easy way to search/navigate between repos 🚩Complex cross-service transactions 🚩Doesn't honor Conway's law

@SergioRocks The term ‘manager’ can mean so many things nowadays. What makes a good career path is becoming a tech lead, architect (from greek ‘lead builder’), leader. Classic PM is something that doesn’t need a SE background and should be very much ‘servant/protection’ to the team.

Life cycle of a Software Engineer: 1. Write code 2. Lead architecture decisions (write less code) 3. Manage (write zero code) Most of my college buddies are now at 3, and very proud of not having coded "for many years". "Wait, are you still writing code??", they ask me.

@EmbdenWouter Dat scheelt met unhappy ongelukjes

Zoon ontwierp isolatie kapjes voor over de busbars #thuisbatterij

@EmbdenWouter @hhalewijn Ik heb trouwens voor mijn camper een 4x 3,2V 270 Ah systeem gebouwd. JBD BMS 100A met Bluetooth. Plus 100A overvolt protectie. De JBD heeft 2 temp sensors aan boord. Tip: XiaoxiangBMS app voor inregelen BMS.

Op verzoek van velen een tussenstand van uitgaven voor de #thuisbatterij. Houd er rekening mee dat het duurste onderdeel (de omvormer) nog aangeschaft moet worden. @hhalewijn

@EmbdenWouter @hhalewijn De batterij gaat dan 48V leveren toch? En dan? Gaat de omvormer dat naar 220V omzetten?

@curiouswavefn My grandfather was captured by the germans and put there into forced labour - like many others. He survived, but never spoke about what happened. His was a great and funny grandpa, but later after his passing I learned from my grandma he did carry around some tormenting memories.

#OTD in 1945: 700 British RAF and 500 USAAF bombers carpet-bomb Dresden; one of the most morally controversial acts of WW2. The bombing creates a firestorm and incinerates 25,000 people. Even Churchill has second thoughts later.

@Rainmaker1973 A pig without approximately Pi is the approximate gravitational acceleration of a free object in vacuum on earth in square meters per second?!

This requires you to be a nerd, but yet... [source: buff.ly/3HetHb9] #SaturdayFun

@kerrizor I once witnessed a major airport almost being shut down with what started with a copy paste error (and some other cascading things that went wrong in the attempt to recover)

@BNR Gebrek aan ethiek bedoel je.

@emollick Imagine guns…

The scale of the disaster caused by TV 🚬 ads is mind blowing. Smoking-related TV ads stole about 110 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 from people's lifetimes in the US alone. This paper estimates that TV ads addicted 11M people, and the average smoker died 10 years before non-smokers.

@royvanrijn It's pretty impressive. I've been asking chatGPT to come up with data entity descriptions for my domain model (after first having it explain to me), and subsequently generate test data for it. My only beef was that often it'd crash (network error) halfway through...

Today ChatGPT turned a flat JSON object into 12 tables incl relations and 10 type enums, turned that entire DDL into JPA entities; and made all the CRUD Spring Boot endpoints, in a couple of hours. That could also have been a week of typing…

@AdamRutherford @LKrauss1 Peter File! Peter File! I’m Peter File!

@LKrauss1 Is it paedophiles?

Got this in an email from the American Physical Society. Apparently physicists look like ANYONE! Oops.. one conspicuous group seems to be missing....
