jlubawy — Sat, 27 Dec 2025 04:35:23 +0000

Came here to ask about pipenv. As someone who does not use python other than for scripting, but also appreciates the reproduceability that pipenv provides, should I be using uv? My understanding is that pipenv is the better successor to venv and pip (combined), but now everyone is talking about uv so to be honest it's quite confusing.

Edit: to add to what my understanding of pipenv is, the "standard/approved" method of package management by the python community, but in practice is it not? Is it now uv?

The FDA also requires SBOMs as of a few years ago for medical device software.

The periodic resets could also be watchdog timer related (without knowing what level their hardware is running on). Too long of a loop without resetting the timer (in a long loop), then the hardware also gets reset.

New comment by jlubawy in "Airlines required to refund passengers for canceled, delayed flights"

jlubawy — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 06:05:22 +0000

I think we all know that airlines overbook, or cancel flights if not enough people are on a flight to make it economically viable.

At a minimum they should be required to provide the odds of a flight to be delayed or canceled before the day-of to allow customers to reschedule ahead of time to get to their destination on time.

Refund of money doesn't matter when you have a place to be at a certain time, especially if you plan months in advance, only to find out 3 hours ahead of time (and at 3:30am in the morning) that your planned flight for months is suddenly canceled for "non-operation".

Literally on a cross-country vacation right now where this is the second time that a flight has been delayed/canceled on me in the past two years (American Airlines). I want to be a loyal customer, but this feels very one sided, and any monetary recourse certainly isn't enough when you hsve a place to be at a certain time (and aren't informed that it's possible you won't make it there, or else worst case you can drive)

My raspberry pi is also currently dead, something it didn't like about updating the OS caused it to be bricked. All updates were done within the OS, so didn't expect anything bad to happen.

I could reflash the OS, but I also "don't have the time". I'll just use my laptop until I do have the time someday to resurrect it.

New comment by jlubawy in "Scripts should be written using the project main language"

jlubawy — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 03:45:04 +0000

I tend to use go for "scripts" in non-go repos (typescript, C, etc) just for the simplicity of "you only need to install go" and pretty much all functionality is included in the standard library (usually something like JSON/XML/CSV parsing).

I'm OK with python for scripts, but go "just works".

We got Sunrun within the past year on a house we bought 1.5 years ago (so we're NEM 2.0 which is important).

I'm in San Diego, we were paying about 500/month for SDGE (fluctuating anywhere from 300-800 throughout the year, 800 because of gas prices last January).

We're paying Sunrun a fixed $300/month, with a 4% increase annually for inflation (presumably electricity prices will also go up during the same time).

Sunrun 100% paid for a main panel relocation required by our county to be to code, so we literally haven't paid for anything other than the 300/month bill.

So far I've only had a good experience.

This plus VS Code and CMake is what I'd use to start any new project, saves time having to figure out all the options yourself.

Serious question, why hasn't anyone rewritten it in Go? Been awhile since I've looked at it but C to Go doesn't seem that difficult to translate.

Edit: just looked at the amalgamation again, it's huge... Still surprised no one has tried it yet that I know of. Pre-processor directives would probably make it even more difficult though.

Edit2: and it already works so what's the point, other than an extremely challenging problem

For what it's worth Western Digital does extensive testing of drive performance under audio vibration, especially on mobile drives that are likely right next to a laptop speaker.

jlubawy — Thu, 16 Feb 2017 04:13:12 +0000

The MSP430x5xx and MSP430x6xx families have this problem. From the user-guide [1]:

> Include at least one instruction between the clear of an interrupt enable or interrupt flag and the EINT instruction. For example: Insert a NOP instruction in front of the EINT instruction.

> Include at least one instruction between DINT and the start of an code sequence that requires protection from interrupts. For example: Insert a NOP instruction after the DINT

Luckily if you use the MSP compiler's intrinsic functions to enable/disable interrupts it takes care of this for you.

In C it also helps to think of it in the equivalent pointer form:

   p == &(p[0])
   p[0] == *(p+0)
   p[1] == *(p+1)

where p is a pointer to some arbitrary data type. Then it becomes an offset in memory.
