I've been tinkering with the ESP8266 since it came out and best board I've found so far for hobbyists is the WeMos D1 Mini. It's based on an ESP8266EX but is mounted (everything except headers are soldered) on an Arduino style breakout board with a USB-serial converter. It's $4 at retail prices from AliExpress which includes shipping.

Well hopefully people notice that the narcotics treaties really just damage poorer countries and don't end up "fighting drugs" anyways.

It's sad to see these made up "crimes" of drug selling and money "laundering", as they do suck up budgets, efforts, and lives in third world countries. One might be cubical enough to think e.g. the US loves this as a way to keep, say, Central America, under control.
So then AT&T wasn't a monopoly in 1979 because they had only a small percentage of the telecommunications market, is that what you're saying? If you don't want to buy your telephone handset from AT&T then you had lots of choices -- just move into the service area of British Telecom or the Deutsche Bundespost or dozens of others.
I tried DSub the other day as an alternative to the standard Subsonic player on Android since it can play podcasts. I set it to wifi only streaming, but it still somehow managed to use 1.5G of my 300M data plan even though I only played a single 60M track with it; so caveat emptor …

I like Tomahawk so far for the "other sources" part (also I find the UI easy on the eyes compared to … just about anything else out there), but of course I can't get it to stream from my Subsonic collection :-/

Why do you use Madsonic instead of plain Subsonic? (Does it work with Tomahawk?)
That summary was short enough to work fine verbally, and to keep my attention.

The point about tangents is that it is often not necessary to have more than a summary of the article. Reading the article is useful for some conversations but not others.
> Let's say the angel could only move in two directions. It would seem intuitively that this would still leave enough room to avoid traps.

Nope. Even if you restrict the angel to 3 directions (up, left, right), the devil has a winning strategy. This is mentioned in the linked article:

> If the angel never decreases its y coordinate, then the devil has a winning strategy (Conway, 1982).

That shouldn't stop you from building and testing the device though, right? Only that if you wanted to commercialise it you'd have to come to an agreement with the patent holder, or maybe buy the patent.

If it worked, being first to market with an exclusive agreement with the patent holder would be lucrative.
Despite the criticisms, this is a much needed analysis in this space, and looks very thorough. I've met countless development teams jumping in to these stacks and trying to find good security advice, or some kind of whitepaper to spell it all out.

Mosquitoes is not just about the macro-ecosystem. Blood sucking animals actually help micro-organism maintain their biodiversity by allowing DNA from very different environment to mixup. Killing mosquitos would be like killing bees (which we are).

Also you may think that most organism causing diseases are bad, but they can be actually useful in your own organism most of the time, and only trigger a disease once their population is out of control or when your body is not tuned correctly anymore.

Killing everything that seems to affect us in a bad way could snow ball into terrible consequences. Not to say I'm not glad that the plague is out of the picture, but everything is not "plague-level".

BTW: I have malaria. I hate mosquitos. I still believe we should not eradicate mosquitos.

They've also keep improving the Apple TV (people who haven't followed Apple forget how slow and incremental the rise of the iPod was -- from 2002 to 2007 people gathered at Keynotes to cheer if it got silly features like Wifi or a color screen or some smaller sibling), working on a car, and other things besides.

Besides I've never understood this "let's pin Apple, a single company, against the whole of the industry put together". They've never had the "most" market share -- just the most of the most lucrative (higher end, high margins) segment of the market.

It seems to have been introduced the same year as Pentium 2 which had clock rates of 233-300 MHz. I don't know about the architectural differences at that time, but at least currently Intel processors smoke ARMs with same clock rate. The difference was probably a lot less pronounced at that time as the architectures were simpler.

That would only prove he can wallow in self-pity too.

Which he has admitted already anyway, and condemned even in himself.

It certainly doesn't prove that self-pity is not as bad as he says.

So he is right. As for him doing it, it doesn't even make him a hypocrite (since he admits it) -- just fallible.

Is it? A human that survives to reproduce that would have otherwise died from malaria uses more non-renewable resources than a human that dies from malaria over the course of their lifetime, and continues to do so after their death by way of their progeny.

In terms of how much time we have as a species before running out of non-renewables on earth, killing the mosquitos might cost more than our blue marble can afford.

Perhaps certain natural population controls ought not be tampered with.
Why haven't we talked about possibly engineering Aedes that cannot carry the virus and release those into the wild to spread their resistant genes to other Aedes?

>Now 12,000 workers are paying the price

I guess there are 12,000 other workers somewhere else in the world that now have a job because they get to create what Intel doesn't.
BTW, according to past statistics, most of the workers that are now "paying the price", wasn't even Intel's employees 10 years ago.

Your trying hard, but you seem to have no idea what you are talking about. "This is the Wall Street Journal fringe." It ran in the journal Intelligence signed by their editorial board.

Or are you just blowing hot air, totally ignorant of this field in general, and decided to call some people you've never heard of "fringe"...
Unless there was a big conspiracy to make sure that this was an all-male panel, I don't see what the big deal is.

There's something about diversity movements that I still struggle with. I see a commenter on the linked post saying "at least they're not all old white guys". I'm half white. Would that make it half-problematic for me to be a panelist in a discussion like this? Would a transgendered panelist be half-OK? Why are we talking about how OK participation is based on the gender, race, and age of the person participating?

The usual response I get to this sort of question is "Well, it's about including under-represented minorities", but I don't think it's inclusive to exclude the majority. I don't want to be included in something just because I'm half hispanic and I don't want to be excluded just because I'm half white. Both of those things seem unproductive to me.
> and sadly still aren't.

I have to disagree with you. I'm from Africa, and I can point you to many African programmers.

Maybe in your country where blacks is a minority(?) you don't see black programmers. But in the last 10 years of my programming career. I worked next to black competent peers.

> I set it to wifi only streaming, but it still somehow managed to use 1.5G of my 300M data plan even though I only played a single 60M track with it; so caveat emptor …

That's really odd. Perhaps it was precaching extra tracks? I haven't had any issues with it, certainly not 1.5GB of data (although I have unlimited so likely wouldn't notice anyway).

> Why do you use Madsonic instead of plain Subsonic? (Does it work with Tomahawk?)

I found that regular Subsonic just wasn't moving much at all. Madsonic seemed to have active development.

I haven't tried regular Subsonic with Tomahawk but Madsonic certainly works for me. I also hooked it into a Beets server without any issues.

It doesn't fail, it's still as usable as ever -- just not infallible, which nothing is anyway.

The dynamics of something with a larger user base being more trustworthy don't change because we're on the internet. It's a simple network (no pun intended) effect.

If the program "can download custom instructions after installation" then a large user base still means that users will be bound to find it sooner or later (and make it public/fix it) and it makes it less likely to be you (because you're 1 from 200,000 downloading it, not 1 of 20 or 200).
> Intel will continue with the high profit margin right until the chips don't sell. And then Intel gets to go out of business.

Or, it can switch to selling ARMs and be a fraction of the company it is right now.

Intel's revenue last year was a record $60 Billion. If Intel could get $30 per ARM chip and didn't have to pay a royalty to ARM (ha ha) and had every single iPhone sold last year, that would only make them a $6 billion company. In reality, Apple would never pay that and ARM takes their cut. So, at best, Intel would only be about a $1 billion revenue company, and, that was only last year when Apple moved 200 million iPhones, the previous year was only 100 million.

So, Intel would be roughly 1/10th to 1/100th the size it currently is if it manufactured ARM's instead of x86. Yeah, I'm sure managers inside Intel are lining up for that business decision.

It is going to be better for Intel to glide to "irrelevance" for a very long time rather than switch to making ARM's.
Well, that depends if you put that board facing the front or the back of your battery holder... ;).

You'd be surprised what a single, well-scheduled CPU can put up with. Don't want to add too many and deal with CPU Ready, where the hypervisor is trying to schedule all those cores on the host. Smaller VMs are easier to schedule and thus have less opportunity to be forced into idleness.

Can anyone comment on the crazy spot prices for g2.8xl ? they spike really high (they were $26/hr earlier? 10x the on-demand price. I'm guessing someone with enough market share has a job that doesn't want to be interrupted and they bid the spot price up to 10xon-demand, which seems ridiculous since presumably they could arbitrage /w an on-demand, but i guess that once they start the job they don't want to be interrupted? i'm not exactly familiar with the intricacies of the ec2 spot market. ). Also, are they any good for ML? I'm between machines ATM and would like to experiment with some deep CNN for face recognition. At $2.6/hr for on-demand its a bit more than I would like, but if the spot price was less i'd consider it.

I do not see what is so difficult about management of secretes. Just add to the command/config file that starts container an option to bind mount file with secretes from the host like -v /path-on-the-host:/mount-point:ro with Docker and then use your favorite automation solution to transfer secrets.

And I do not see how a generic container deployment solution can help with this as distribution of secrets are way too deployment/application specific.
That's more vapourware than beta testing.

Who cares about treaties which the US bullied everyone to sign.
I don't think the article was really putting socially awkward white males to blame. I believe it tried to say that the diversity (or lack of it) of the field is a result of the shift in targeting a certain type of person for the programmer's job. And this accumulated over time reinforcing the notion until recently that it's sort of a no girls land. I can't help but feel that you're kinda shifting the blame when you say that there are just not enough female candidates otherwise you'd be perfectly happy to hire them and of course you would be. Maybe the problem really is in the way career possibilities are presented to children from early on. My brother is a programmer with years of experience - he got a pc when very young that I really didn't have access to and he was making fun of me when I got into a coding job because I it didn't really suit me, even though I have a CS degree. That doesn't mean he is to blame, it's just how we are brought up. Arts and humanities go girls, STEM go boys.
