It had, e.g., a big chunk of code bolted on that
loaded a binary data file at boot time and
configured the various peripherals.

that's all been reverse-engineered, in fact the
source for boot0/boot1 is now properly GPL'd.

i don't know who you are but we probably both
contributed at different times - i was the one
who released the first linux and u-boot kernel
source to the public via my server, and later
on did a usb sniff of the USB-FEL traffic by
putting LIVESUIT.EXE into qemu, configuring
qemu to give it access to one of the USB ports
and uploading an OS to one of my Computer Cards.
that was enough for Henrik (hno) and others
to complete the fex-boot program. i love doing
that stuff.

anyway, upshot is: after a LOT of work by a LOT
of people (including yourself it sounds like),
the A20 is one of the few china processors that's
fully libre reverse-engineered for its boot process,
contains no DRM, and even the Video decode engine
and 2D GPU are now reverse-engineered.

there aren't very many processors you can say that
about - if you do know of any please tell me
because i will need to make an in-depth evaluation.
People that use opiods have to use greater and greater amounts to get the same effect, and people that take a lot of opiods may live a normal life but they have a much higher risk of sudden death. Prince, for example. I call that "not OK."

Well, the basic idea is that some inhabitants of colony A may figure that if they remain on A, they can only expect to get 100 resource units, but if they move to B, which is weaker, they may be able to acquire 1,000 resources units instead. They wouldn't bring back resources from B to A, they would just do a hostile takeover so that they can live like kings.

Rhode Island will have to get in line behind New Hampshire then. A significant portion of the population there work in Massachusetts but live in New Hampshire because it has the lowest tax burden out of any state in the union. Also there is no personal income tax or sales tax. Rhode Island has its work cut out for it. For those not familiar with that part of the US, Massachusetts can be heard referred to as Taxachusetts.

I never said anyone should skip the fundamentals. But you don't need to go to college to learn them.

Your nitpick on the difference between engineering and programming is ridiculous, and your definition of engineering is wrong.

This would only matter for national and world records - swimmers competing in finals are swimming against each other at the same time, under identical pool conditions (ignoring any psychological differences between lanes - e.g. breathing towards your cheering fans and family on odd laps vs. even ones, etc).
Scripting with version control sounds very useful to me, since I typically use a very similar recording setup, but may do slight modifications.
I used to run my own MTA, and then I get fed up staying ahead of spammers.

I chose postfix which has a lot of off the shelf support for blacklisting and such, but even so I found that I couldn't stay ahead of spammers and their (new at the time) techniques like reflection attacks.

Anyway, while it's fun to play with this, unless you want to spend time every week keeping it up to date, etc., I found it mostly a drain on other better things I could be doing.

DMARC
In my younger days, I was offered a plea bargain to plead nolo contendre (no contest, as in "I do not contest the charge nor do I admit guilt") to a lesser charge in exchange for: probation, adjudication withheld (no conviction on my record) and, once probation was served, record expungement.

I got the impression it was because the state's attorney felt I would best learn my lesson with that outcome than the otherwise mandatory sentence for the crime with which I was originally charged — non-violent, mind you; it was a bounced check. Yes, really.

So in some cases, plea bargaining is a "way out" of otherwise too-harsh sentencing. Yes, the sentencing guidelines should be overhauled, but in today's legislative climate, the path of least resistance is simply to allow the prosecution the flexibility to charge a defendant with a lesser crime.
Infinite Story
That's the problem state income taxes are supposed to solve, isn't it?
Neither GP or I expressed a great deal of nuance, but I'd like to see a move away from sentencing being regarded as punishment. calls for a reply. It should absolutely be regarded as a punishment. It's just that we are damn fools if that's all we use it for.

I already have the data; charting is the missing piece. I use live data daily in my work; so does every other system administrator in the world. top, vmstat, iostat, etc. are all live(ish) data, very useful to have access to, and useful to plug into a GUI. It is not opening a portal to another dimension, or something, it's just looking at the state of a thing as it is right now and printing it out. I'm sure there are many other areas where a live view is valuable in a user interface (stock prices, exchange rates, temperatures, etc.). There are all sorts of metrics that aren't necessarily well-served by live data, but existence of those does not negate the existence of metrics that are useful to have as they happen.
I think another thing worth mentioning is that ties don't really seem to have a negative perception in swimming.

None of the swimmers involved in the ties mentioned seemed to feel that their medals were delegitimized or somehow worth less because of the tie.

allo mwcampbell, did i see you on reddit a few days ago? so much has happened so fast :)

i understood it differently, but there are definitely people who don't want today's low-power tablet-style processors in a desktop computer.

(aside: let's remember that tomorrow's desktop processors will be lower power and more powerful even than today's tablet-style processors!)

those people are the ones that i'm specifically not targetting, here. i'm targetting the "good enough" crowd. and the makers. and the libre people. and those who are fed up with being spied on through devices that they paid for. we don't like paying to be snooped on, that's just f*g cheek.
I'm sorry but I feel that you are what's wrong with this country. All the human suffering is it worth it as long as it happens to "them".
This is the new anti-intellectualism. Highly technical people displaying complete unwillingness to engage with philosophical problems, understand why they are problems, why they are difficult, and how their first-pass solution is massively flawed.
There is indeed a much easier way: Just create `.so` libraries (with a C interface, for example) from go or rust, as they compile to native code anyway.

I wouldn't use wcc for that ever, only for reverse engineering and similar things.
I too ran my own mail server for years. I wasn't as rigorous as you in applying patches.. perhaps monthly or quarterly. At the end of the day though, it was the superiority of the Gmail client that won me back.
My first job in NYC was at a non-profit as a web dev with far more skills than what anyone could learn from a boot camp (I have a comp engr degree) and made substantially less than the posted average. I still a managed to live comfortably in Manhattan.

For people coming in who may be stuck in sub-$60K jobs, $10K to $15K in 10 weeks to be elevated to an a new income bracket doesn't seem unreasonable, when comparing it to the cost of going back to college.

> My observation is that most criminals fall into a category that would be solved with "impulse control" pills and/or better mental health treatment.

You don't even have to go that far. "Impulse control" is the big one. Several inner city social programs were all about getting people to simply think for a moment before doing things like killing someone for "disrespect". It's really surprising how strong the taboo for killing people is and how well it asserts itself if you just give it a moment to kick in.

I have to disagree with the idea that brutality buildings inevitably degenerate into dank and oppressive. Those qualities are almost always orthogonal to style. Usually they have to do with pretty much universally bad design moves, like limited natural light, confusing circulation, and cheap finishes. Of course, poor maintenance can make almost any building pretty dank before too long.
I've been doing so for years. Having spent almost a decade in the ISP industry, I don't trust other providers for anything but transit.

I have a 50/10 connection from Comcast Business with five static IPs. One of those hosts what used to be a colo box with an ISP in Austin (I'd worked for them years ago, and had a services-for-colo agreement that lasted until an ownership change).

For about five years now I've had no problems sending or receiving mail; just keep a common-sense best practices configuration and do regular checks to make sure that you're not relaying/sending spam and aren't on any RBLs. "Nux"'s comment is a good list.
In an effort to avoid politics as much as I can, roads tend to escape scrutiny about government subsidies because they are a baseline, bring-your-own-vehicle requirement, which doesn't smell nearly as 'subsidized' to people who then have to provide their own cars to use them.

In the 'equity' vs 'equality' debate, roads are 'equality': everyone is given the same road to succeed, but of course not everyone has a vehicle to make use of it properly.

But this debate pops up in areas when tolls, euphemistic "usage fees", or increases in fuel taxes are proposed to pay for new roads.

That's true in a very technical sense that Trump is only spouting speech at this point. (And of course technically correct is the best kind.)

But it's worth pointing out that in his speech, Trump is promising extra-judicial murder of family members of terrorists and torture of suspected terrorists if he's made commander-in-chief. Were he able to actually implement these, it would actually be worse.

I don't disagree with this in general principle, but "how many straws can you remove from a bale" points pretty transparently to the failed mapping between our black-and-white language and the shades-of-grey world. It's a shallow insight and to refer to it as an "unsolved problem" feels very strange to me. What depth am I missing?
You got me thinking about what other factors could affect the result at various degrees of precision. By my math [1], the time it takes for the sound of the starting buzzer to reach the ears of swimmers at opposite ends of the pool could actually affect the outcome measured in hundredths of a second. But it's an order of magnitude smaller effect than the lane lengths varying by 3cm. Of course, they could remedy this (and for all I know, maybe they do!) by having one starting buzzer speaker placed at the same distance behind each swimmer.

[1] Each lane is 2.13m wide, so the swimmers in lanes #1 and #8 are 14.91m apart. If the buzzer were placed right next to swimmer 1, it would take ~0.044s longer to reach swimmer 8's ear (using 340.29 m/s as the speed of sound). Or if it were right in the middle between swimmers 4 & 5, it would reach swimmers 4 & 5 ~0.019s before it reached 1 & 8.

Correction: HTTP/1.0 doesn't have Host headers at all, while HTTP/1.1 requires them.

It's one of the easiest ways to distinguish the two versions. Host headers enable virtual hosts (multiple domains on one IP), letting the Internet grow to billions of domains without requiring an IP for each of them.
afaik tobacco is not treated as a drug or medicine and historically was not regulated by the FDA (it began to be regulated by USDA and FDA in 2009).

in any case, regardless of whether or not beer advertising is a good "model for society" is kinda irrelevant from the constitutional law perspective. the legal rulings have repeatedly found that commercial marketing is, with a few exceptions, free speech and that the government is limited in its ability to regulate that type of expression.

from an ethical perspective, I think that people living in a free society have an ethical responsibility to educate ourselves and our communities about drugs (of all kinds, including alcohol and tobacco) independently of the commercial promotion of those products. at some point you have to just let people be responsible from themselves. trying to enforce health and safety through prohibition or censorship is not a good strategy.

FYI they don't filter inbound OR outbound port 25 if you're a Comcast Business customer; in fact I think the only ports they filter for business customers are a couple of ports only used for remote attacks on MS Windows boxes.
We need to teach real self sufficient skills in schools. Such as financial education, physical and emotional well-being. And we need to get successful ppl on front of the kids. Many do not respect teachers bc they're not viewed as financially successful or independent. This will help engage young ppl and help them feel as one with the rest of the world with their freedom intact instead of on a corporate conveyor belt to identity politics hell.
Is that significantly different from the current status quo? Drone strikes and Gitmo are functionally equivalent to the worst of Trump's remarks.

I made this!

I tried posting this myself in Show HN, but I think I was getting caught in the spam filter because I'm a new account.

Here is how it works, copied from the video description:

This is an experimental instrument I built that uses back-driven stepper motors to synthesize sound.

The operational principle is that when stepper motors are back-driven, they induce a pseudo-sinusoidal alternating current. If this signal is amplified and connected to a speaker, you can listen to it as sound. The pitch of the sound is determined by the frequency of the wave, which depends on how fast the motor is back-driven. Higher speed will be a higher note. I thought this sound was interesting, so I wanted to make an instrument that used this mechanism to make music.

There are 49 stepper motors, one for each note in my four octave instrument. At rest, each motor floats above one of 49 disks, which increase in size exponentially as the notes ascend in pitch. The disks spin together, driven by a single speed-controlled DC motor. When a key is pressed, the corresponding stepper motor is engaged with the corresponding disk in the disk stack, and the disk back-drives the stepper motor. The larger disks are moving faster on their outside edge than the smaller disks, so the stepper motors are driven faster by the larger disks than the smaller disks. The disks are sized such that all the notes will be in tune relative to each other. The key that the instrument plays in is determined by how fast the disk stack is spinning. A faster disk stack will play a higher key, a slower disk stack will play a lower key. The speed of the disk stack is a global pitch shift.

Each note has a volume knob because the higher notes come in much louder than the lower notes, so they need to be trimmed down.

The disk stack isn't built perfectly; it actually wobbles a little bit off axis. Because the pitch of any note isn't actually determined by the radius of the disks, but rather the instantaneous radius at the current point of contact, this causes most notes to slightly fluctuate in pitch as the disk stack rotates. This adds an interesting character to the sound.

Another interesting effect is that especially when spinning at higher speeds, it may be difficult to get the higher notes to fully engage with their disks. You have to push the higher keys pretty hard to get full engagement, otherwise the note may go up to a half or full step flat.

Most people in fact know this and assume they are being tracked everywhere and they also assume that the service providers (Google, Facebook) can read everything.

The problem is not that alternatives are too expensive, but that there are no good alternatives. I would be glad to pay $5/month to Google to get an ad-free version.
He also seems to be the only one who has a soft spot on using little endian representations of integers in his cryptographic designs. This in a world that is largely dominated by big endian protocols.

The middle and lower layers of the network stack are historically big-endian, and the ones published as RFCs also tend to be the same, but I've seen many more proprietary little-endian application-layer protocols. That's probably because most systems are LE today and so it's simpler overall to read into memory and operate directly on the values without having to reconvert them, but in crypto there is a real benefit in working with multibyte integers, since carries propagate forward.

My wife and I, and our 3 yr old son, got rid of most of our possessions, stored the rest, and went of for a 6 month stint of the digital nomad life.

We both have location independent businesses, so we could have continued indefinitely. But nearing the 3 month mark (which was the longest we'd gone in the past), it started to wear on us.

Constant novelty can be just as destructive as constant monotony. You need a balance, and only you can find what that is for you and yours.

We don't regret the trip at all, though. It made us realize what we really missed (family, green spaces, people who loved our son, and wouldn't mind watching him ;). As a result, we ended up moving back to a suburb closer to family, instead of the decidedly cooler city, 2 hours away, we used to live in.

Quite a pendulum swing, from digital nomad to suburb life, but really, as long as we have each other, and love our work, location doesn't matter that much. Which means, in the end, that being free to move around indefinitely also means you are free to stay as long as you like in any one place.
Yes, but the road itself always loses 100% of the money, except for toll roads. It is considered to be an external benefit to the economy that people can move around, even if they have to bring their own vehicles. Therefore it is true in the case of roads that we collectively believe subsidies lead to a better economy. It is not nonsense to extend that belief to railroads.
FreeBSD has a cool HA ZFS solution you can use.

I would however strongly recommend a proper distributed storage solution like Ceph or GlusterFS.
