Maintenance mode == root


You're projecting your meaning of it, not mine. Not if it can't be undone in a way other than reinstalling everything. A mode that allows changing things with a temporary reduction of security system-wide and restoring them later, but putting all of the upgrade and support liability on the user without sacrificing functionality. Think VMware ESXi. If tech support wants to not support it, that's fine, but payments and such should still work.


I have tried both, and aider is far less able when it comes to navigating your codebase, and self driving investigation. You are very involved in context management with aider, whereas claude code can use cli commands to do a lot of things itself.


Shit, never expected to see an announcement that a friend had died through HN. Learned a lot from you Mikeal, you will be missed.


Apparently the ebook has “sold out” so this is just marketing for the new paid ebook preorders.


Well, that's some lying doublespeak if I've ever seen it. Hopefully someone reading this has access to some kind of machine that can duplicate a PDF file, thus putting an end to the shortage.


Well, the author did specifically say that the reason it's no longer free is because others have worked on the book and want to get paid. That being said, this is literally just an ad, especially because they did not keep the old version free.


Are there any reliable numbers on the holistic impact of ruminants? All of the carbon they emit came from the atmosphere via their plant diets, and a huge volume of that carbon is sequestered in the soil via their excrement. Ruminants help the soil, as opposed to modern agriculture which is largely reliant on fossil fuel derived fertilizer.

I have yet to see a paper that models this. Most of the estimates are purely based on output, which seems disingenuous at best.


This is propaganda from the livestock lobby that has been disproved again and again. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/15/beef-f...


What is propaganda? I was asking for a proper carbon model, not a link to an opinion piece.


In Denmark the pigs are fed soy imported from areas of the world where rainforests had to be cut down to make room for production. The short distance between Danish fields and sea, which is no where greater than 50kms, means most fertilizer from the pigs runs off into the sea, causing algae blooms that kill all other marine life.


Thats not really what I asked.

But in this situation would you not be better off taxing the soy imports and fining waste outflow?


Looking at this from a swiss train. It seems to be 10-15 minutes out of date compared to GPS.


Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement bridge that works with home assistant? It seems I’ll be throwing out the hue bridge and never buying a phillips product again.


As of right now, you can connect to hue devices directly with Zigbee.

The SkyConnect from HomeAssitant/Nabu Casa works quite well: https://www.home-assistant.io/skyconnect/


Hue isn't really a Phillips product. Signify is the company you want to avoid.


That might be strictly true but the blowback from this is me avoiding Philips products from now on.

They should use their influence with Signify to get them to take a long term view. Right now I regret buying more expensive "Philips" light bulbs, sync boxes and other hardware.

I'm pissed off that I bought one product and they've retrospectively changed the terms of usage.



source pls?


I'd love to be able to get rid of it completely, but I don't know of a good solution for syncing files to an iOS device from a linux machine.

Recommendations very welcome!


The SCD40 series is a pain to calibrate - it will drift out of calibration unless it's left outside at some points. It's not ideal for consumer electronics.


This is not unique to the SCD40 series. This applies also to NDIR based sensors. They also need to 'see' outside air on a weekly basis.

It's just the way CO2 sensing tech works.


Not necessarily. The SCD series can have auto calibration turned off. You take it outside once and baseline that to 400ppm. The drift on the sensor is rated very low (+-50 ppm over the sensor’s lifetime). This is what I do with my SCD30.


Interesting, I didn't know that, I've only used them in auto mode. I also have SCD30s, the 40s are a pain in the ** to solder and they were hard to get because they are new.

I wonder why they don't just calibrate them off the factory line then? I mean, 50ppm is not much. In auto mode you won't get much better accuracy than that because you don't always air the house well enough to get down to 400 (let alone in a city's CO2 bubble).
