The benchmarks mentioned seem to be a little misleading. The wild author has investigated these benchmarks in a blog post which has also been featured in the next to last This Week In Rust issue.

Aeronautics isn’t too far fetched for a comic series aimed at (astro-)physicists and computer scientists.


The thing is sounding rockets do exactly that and are still in service (vs somehow unfucking an ancient plane that hasn’t been serviced in decades with tooling that no longer exists) and there are multiple companies out there operating supersonic drones for high speed tests of whatever you wanna do.
I dont see the value in bringing the blackbird back into service. I think its more likely that they want to freshen up the paint and park it at some press conference / event.


“It was about half a mile down the path,” he said, adding: “The last time it was about 300 or 400 metres.”
Gotta love a good mix of units. Without looking this up I have no idea which distance is greater.


The same how a complementary color is the “opposite” color on the color circle. You invert all the bits to go around the number space circle (mathematically called a “field”). Opposed to normal number spaces this one is a circle since overflowing a binary number (ie all bits being 1 and adding one) will reset you back to 0.


I’ve recently seen my first one with a French license plate driving around in Germany. Apparently they’re not as completely banned as I had hoped.


Soldering would be no issue for me, but simply replacing a spring is even better. I will order some parts and try this. Thanks for the info :)


Still using mine but the left click is starting to fail permanently.
It had a phase a couple of years ago where it liked to double click but that went away again after a while.
Now its starting to seriously double and triple click and sometimes not click at all.
Might have to start investing some time looking for a replacement. o7


Do I understand correctly that this has all the building blocks which make up various lossless compression schemes (dictionaries, run length encoding, delta encoding, etc) and kit bashes them together for your specific dataset?
I was under the impression that modern file formats and compression schemes already kind of do that as part of the normal compression process, so I was a little surprised by how much they beat some of the competition in their benchmarks.


If you don’t mind me asking, what made you go with VoidAuth vs Authelia or something else entirely?
I’m in a similar boat as OP and while VoidAuth looks very promising I’m put off a little by the young age and size of the project.


Harper is great, but it only does English. Really wish their “extensible core” was extended to other languages sometime.


I just wish that they wrote more articles. Their writing style is superb. Can’t argue with this though:
More coming soon. Or not. I don’t owe you shit.


Not to mention that this simplifies the problem so massively that its almost a pointless metric.
This is like analysing traffic jams by counting the number of registered cars.
Sure there is a correlation but not a very meaningful one.
Don’t get me wrong this problem is an important one, no arguments there, but this says nothing about collision risks (in certain orbits of which most don’t impact each other) or orbital parking capacity (as in how many objects can we safely add).


QR codes come with (differing levels of) error correction. You could decode it and take the amount of corrected errors as a score.
I don’t know what unit/chunk of data the error correction works on but you could alternatively dive a bit into information theory and calculate how close any of the chunks are to an uncorrectable error and use that as a score.
Since the first uncorrectable error will cause the scan to fail this would match your problem definition fairly well.
One benefit of this approach would be that it’s a single scan and done vs searching n permutations of the same code.
Or maybe you’d want to scan it a couple of times to rule out any additional errors introduced by the camera or environment.
Randall’s timing is impeccable sometimes
Got it working thanks to your troubleshooting tips now. Also found a very neat way to handle secrets from another comment.
I tend to run a DB instance per service as that makes backup restoration much easier for me. An idle postgres sits at around 50MB which is a cost I’m willing to pay.
Thank you again for your help :)
Managed to get it working by passing in env vars from a secret now.
ArgoCD has a really handy web UI that allows you to quickly see what kind of resources get deployed.
Especially for learning k8s I found that much easier to visualize than raw kubectl outputs.
Passing in the secrets once via the global: section is very neat. Got it working now with a few of the other tips and stole your trick for my secret handling. Thank you :)
Did you also have to set all these env vars by hand?
I am wondering if it might have something to do with rendering Helm Charts under ArgoCD.
I’ll give it another try with your recommendations.
And should I get it working finally, I will obviously switch back to using Secrets.
I only removed them to reduce possible points of failure.
As for blueprints, that’s a task for future me xD
Is “my users” a valid answer? xD
