All sounds pretty sensible. I do think it might feel annoying waiting minutes to download a model for the sake of generating a line of alt text the first time, though. It would probably be quicker to write the alt text.

More or less. Either Excalidraw for your quick and dirty diagrams or I’ve used PlantUML + C4 Plug-in for your larger, more long lived diagrams with some success.
Diagrams. Loads and loads of diagrams. One for each use-case.
Then I’d have one diagram to draw out dependencies between each service at the broadest level. Although depending on how messy your architecture is it can be very difficult to read, in my experience.
I think if you read through this and take it at face value, there is a pretty clear picture of what happened: https://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2024/03/30/a-microcosm-of-the-interactions-in-open-source-projects/
A lot of it has reinforced my understanding around distributed databases and transactions. In my day-to-day, I’ve not really had need to use this knowledge as pretty much all our data stores are hosted in cloud platforms and we’re operating on low datasets and traffic.
I’ve been reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications and it really is a great book, specifically for backend engineers.
The redesign is literally pointless and currently achieves nothing. I find that the user's profile button having moved to the bottom-left so goddamned weird, as is the "Activity" button moving to the no-mans-land of middle of the sidebar.
If I wanted to use YT Music I’d already be using it. Podcasts and music are not the same thing. Anyway…
There are some good alternatives out there, like Antennapod.
Would have loved to see this for my 4A but glad they’re looking to extend the support window moving forward. Many phones now are powerful enough to go years past their obsolescence date and chucking them away is just e-waste.
It’s a great base for general desktop use as well as server. Been using it on my PC for years now, and aside from a few 3rd party repositories it has everything I need. It just works and continues to work.
I have to lick my fingers to open those bags (unfortunately - it’s gross 😅) so my current theory is because I have dry hands maybe that’s making it more difficult for the sensor to pick up the prints.
Just to add to this, in the 7A settings menu there is an option to increase sensitivity. Go to Settings > Display > Screen protector mode and toggle the option on.
In my initial tests this has noticeably improved the accuracy of the sensor but I need to give it a bit more time before saying for sure.
I am actually, yes, and to be fair I’d not considered this. 🤔 I guess if it’s the difference between having a scratched screen or a working fingerprint reader, I’d go with the former.
It blows my mind that they shipped it on the 7 and 7 Pro. It’s not really acceptable on a mid range phone, let alone a premium one.
I worked with Perl for years, and I don’t recommend it for a beginner. There are just too many idiosyncrasies that belong specifically to the language that you’d be better off with Python for learning the basics.
I’m also not really sold on that book, which from the code samples looks really old. I’d recommend two books: Modern Perl and Perl Best Practices.
Edit: I’d also recommend working in Go but potentially the way i/o intersects with interfaces makes it a bit more challenging.
