Legitimately not sure if serious

Postman Desktop too

You mean Podman Desktop?

Yes, thank you iOS autocorrect.

I remember playing with my parent's VW key fob as a fidget toy in the 00s. Little spring loaded switchblade style mechanical key.

A remote execution cluster and CAS for build artifacts is a good way to avoid duplicate work on local vs CI, and avoid the problem of needing to trust local builds.


Here is a hash function that does not have hash collisions:

  fn hash(data):
    return data


Well it no longer constrains the data in a fixed output length.


Sure, but if you constrain to fixed output length, you will definitely have collisions (Pigeon Hole Principle). There's no way around that.


padding with zeroes to a fixed length and prepending the original length would suffice, but you’d have to have a fixed length of double infinity to account for both the length information and the hash information, and the hash is less efficient than the original information.


That is a function, but not a hash function!


what programming language is this?


Why pick elixir specifically here? I’m using opus/sonnet via Claude code for a moderately complex personal project built on phoenix and have had a good experience


Yeah, I've been building a fairly complex app with Claude and it has been great. Backend stack is a Go service, with TS front end and a solver running or-tools in Python.

I do think I do a good job of being very structured at breaking down my requirements and acceptance criteria (thanks dual lives as a devops and SRE guy and then PM). Extensive unit testing, discipline in use of sessions and memories and asking it to think of questions it should be asking me before even formulating a plan.


Claude is good, I'm definitely not saying it's bad. But if you work with LiveView, it will tend to choose more complexity over simplicity. Weirdly enough I have a feeling it's trained more on Python/Ruby (Object oriented paradigms) style code than functional code, so it tries to get things done not so functionally.


Similar in Australia, BNE shows up before SYD.

Edit: actually it's even weirder. Here's the zoom levels I see, from zoomed out, to zoomed in:

- BNE, MEL

- BNE, SYD, MEL

- BNE, CBR, MEL (??)

- BNE, SYD, CBR, MEL


Haha I came in to write the exact same thing. Such a weird choice


This screams vibe-coded slop. Think about it, if you were to implement zoom based detail level, you would have to try hard to introduce a bug on line 3, yet it happens to hit prod.

Yet, this thread is full of people defending this pre-alpha quality thing.


Are those people/products upgrading jQuery though?


I’m not a sparky but would you need inverters if the panels are just for charging batteries? On the other hand, there is probably already inverters onboard to provide AC power to passenger power points.


No, you need some kind of DC converter to regulate voltage, but no inherent requirement to go to AC. Lots of small camping and off grid systems do that.

Although at the scale of a one off boat i would think it's cheaper to use the more widespread systems for bigger grid connected panel installations; so you are back to inverters.


The local archaeologist? Incredible


Oh, he works for the county, but happened to live just up the hill from us.

There's so much old stuff around here that he is basically being called out to perform an assessment every time anyone wishes to build anything.

Where we live now, for instance, there are a handful of burial mounds from God knows when (all plundered long ago), lots of old charcoal pits, a couple of late stone age fish traps in the lake in a corner of our farm.

To exaggerate just a little - where we could build our home was basically dictated by where we could find a spot noone had claimed thousands of years ago...


it seems like you moved to property on "a road called 'Solsteinen' " .. did it occur to anyone that many special local things might be built close to the stable sun stone? I would even guess that no one built a home or horse barn there because they were not allowed to by the community.. this is modern development.. using up the ancient old area for a new sale. That is the appearance from the description above.


The (immediate) area has been farmed for hundreds of years, so I would guess most old burial mounds etc has been recycled centuries ago. The houses there now are mostly built in the seventies, at which point (luckily!) the local council would NOT let you build upon any ancient structures.

Where I live now - same island, but farther from the natural port and, hence, less attractive land in the old days - we still have a few which noone bothered to remove (to till the land underneath or to use the stones for building walls or foundations).

My kids used to love going playing around those mounds, made for excellent inspiration for pretending games, that!


As someone from a place that is less than a century old this sounds incredible!


It is until you try to build something!

(Nothing quite like watching an archeologist go 'Oooh, that's interesting!' during a dig to establish whether you can go ahead building on your chosen spot...)


Isn't that solved by rescue archaeology ? Here in the Czech Republic everything has been settled for many thousands of years - so you basically automatically call the archeologists for any construction, they will check the area, record any interesting findings and retrieve artifacts of interest. Then the are is free to be used for the construction project.

Something like that is happening right now here in Brno:

https://www.novinky.cz/clanek/veda-skoly-po-prioru-zbyla-brn...

A massive construction project & equally massive archaeology operation - mapping the remains of old textile factories, an old channel and rail line, fish storage tanks, a mill, a villa and even a cemetery or two.

The archaeology work is wrapping up in a month or two & then the construction crews will take over the site (they already work in the areas that have been fully searched) to finish the construction project (which includes a 13 meter deep water tight "tub" due to a very shallow water table for the basement levels or 200 meter deep geothermal energy piles, etc.).


I suspect most local councils in the UK have an archaeology team and failing that there are a lot of professional consulting archaeologists - a lot (all?) large scale building works often include the need for archaeological surveys and/or remediation.

e.g. Work for what is now the Queensferry Crossing bridge uncovered a 10,000 year old home:
