Yeah we had a good laugh when Downdetector was down during the Cloudflare outage yesterday. So this is appropriate. +1


I remember when the CDN I was working for had to change our status page provider when our first one became our client.


I can imageine that. Although not using Channel Sounding, as it has a accuracy of +/- 200mm according to TFA. Which is still very good, though.


I don't follow your reasoning. (+-)200 mm is better accuracy than 1000 mm.


1m? 1mm? Apparently I was seeing double


In case you're not familiar with the metric system: 1m is 1000mm. In other words, one millimeter is one thousandth of a meter.


I wonder why when swipeing between the two sides of the disc it always appears convex from the currently viewed side, but flat when viewed edge on.

Anyone knows what could cause this?


I think it's to avoid having two sets of data points. I think the "view angle" affects the "convex amount" so that edge-view = flat and all other viewing angles "bump" the data points a little bit to give the "convex" look.


I would question whether a PWM "technically" counts as digital... It is on and off, sure, but so is a mechanical power switch, which few would describe as digital. "Digital" is more when we get higher level values represented by multiple signals that are on or off (aka bits).


A mechanical power switch can certainly be digital; the Harvard Mark I digital computer was made entirely out of mechanical power switches, actuated by solenoids (so-called "relays"). It depends on how you use it—as you say, by combining multiple different bits, either simultaneously or serially.

I agree that a PWM signal is not really a digital signal, but it's kind of on the edge—for example, https://tinyurl.com/25y54mph is a simulation I designed of a completely analog PWM generator (a simulated LM324 op-amp, five transistors, 13 resistors, and a couple of caps), and several vendors offer better-designed versions of the same thing on an IC, but you can also get a perfectly adequate PWM signal out of a digital GPIO pin, and the PWM peripherals commonly included in microcontrollers are entirely digital.


Totally agree. Dashboard felt like a thorn in the eye.


Same for me. The car looks beautiful and then you see the dashboard and it's just plain ugly. Doesn't match the rest of the car at all. It's easy enough to simply offer another trim option for the dash though.


And read scrolls while having a a cocktail in the bar.


Sounds like a PERFECT chip for my next HomeAssistant box :-D

- Low power when only idling through events from the radio networks

- Low power and reasonable performance when classifying objects in a few video feeds.

- Higher power and performance when occasionally doing STT/TTS and inference on a small local LLM


My thoughts exactly! Although I may end up getting some Mini M1/M2 variant with Asahi Linux instead


Strong typing built in from the start. More approachable syntax (unless you are used to Ruby).


Static typing. Elixir already has strong typing (no implicit conversions).


Maybe the white on top of their heads IS their hair? And Papa smurf was old and bald and used a hat to blend in.


The FLOSS tool https://drawdb.vercel.app/editor has been here on HN several times. IMHO also does a somewhat better job.


Doesn't seem to work on mobile at all. Tables that I add are not shown in the diagram. The diagram area is not visible unless I scroll sideways.I cannot scroll sideways, unless I request desktop site and scroll there. But I still don't see any entities in the diagram. When I use the buttons to add tables in the diagram, they also do not show up in the grid, but only on the left in the textual list of tables. Seems like a complete non-functional tool on mobile.

Usually I wouldn't care too much about a tool like this running on mobile, but not at a PC right now, so that's all I can give feedback about.


I wouldn't think mobile is a primary workspace for doing any sort of diagramming, let alone ERD where its assumed the user has a PC.


It works on mine.
