How on earth was that spent? That's more than two orders of magnitude more than any PCI audit that I'm aware of (and since the regular requirement is to do that annually the number is even more insane).
The way I use it is to assume certain things, and then consider the consequences of them. I wish I could have discussed this more in the article, but the specific example got long enough that a theory tie-in would have been a lot for a blog post.

But anyway, things like feedback loops (both positive and negative), oscillations, stocks, flows, control points, system boundaries, etc. etc. -- these are all tools for giving both names and operational patterns to different things you'll see happen in a system.

And once you have that, you end up with a better mental model from first principles that lets you anticipate and work with certain aspects of systems before you learn its behavior through trial and error / best practices.

I need to dig deeper myself, but I found "Thinking in Systems" from Donella H. Meadows a good primer on the basics . So far the best benefit systems thinking has given me is a changed perspective on things, but I think it'll help for doing more detailed analysis with a bit more study and practice, too.
I think you're right: I toyed with adding "static" but then needed to emphasise it was the workers who were static, then it was getting too wordy.

Agreed, although I prefer the D1 mini (http://www.wemos.cc/Products/d1_mini.html) - it's just a bit smaller (and cheaper?) than the NodeMCU.

The ESP-01 (which I started with) is quite painful to program, though - it uses a bizarre baud rate (78k?) and shares its GPIO with its programming pins.
That's Android I guess.

I'm reminded more of McCarthy when controversies like this unfold. Seems a more reasonable comparison, anyway, if a bit passé. I can even think of a few folks who have been publicly 'censured' after shooting and missing in events like these, much like McCarthy was in his own time.

(Not stating any opinion on the highlighted incident at all, despite making that comparison -- series of events themselves make me say that, not my personal beliefs nor a characterization of the parties or details involved that might reasonably be inferred by the association.)
I recently started "watching" youtube. That is, use the front page and the recommendations, and it is a very good alternative to channel surfing on TV. I have discovered a few very funny panel shows and it is fairly good at giving me new episodes of shows.

There are so many use cases to Youtube that recommendations can never be good.

I want it to recommend music I have heard, for when I use youtube as a radio, but I also want it to recommend me new music in the same genre, although sometimes I want to hear something completely different and want that recommended.

I want it to recommend funny videos I've seen when I'm you youtubing with a friend ("Oh, yeah! Did you see this one? You have to see this one!")

I don't want it to show me funny videos I've seen when I'm watching youtube alone.

uh huh. coming from a state that has been dark red my entire left...I can tell you about right wing intolerance. It's ACTUAL intolerance. Being dismissive isn't intolerant. Blocking voting rights and trying to change school books is intolerant.

You disagree with them and they are snarky to you on Twitter. Not the same thing at all.
I think it's a little of both. On the one hand you have people who really do have troubles and really could use a little kindness, and on the other you have people who are totally okay with cynically exploiting them and their troubles in order to acquire power. And if we're honest, people who've been abused already? Super easy to exploit. You don't even have to break them yourself! That's already taken care of.

Do I sound bitter? Perhaps I sound bitter. I was going for savage sarcasm, but maybe I've overshot and landed in bitter. I've seen this dynamic play out to completion once, with homosexuals like myself in the role of foil. Now I'm seeing it play out again, this time on the backs of people whose uniting characteristic is having gone through hell at the hands of others, in many cases at the hands of people whom they should have been safely able to trust. Now they get to be used all over again, at the hands of people claiming to want to help - indeed claiming, implicitly or otherwise, to be the only ones who can effectively help, a classic abuser's trick in itself. In the face of such enormities, perhaps I may be forgiven a bitter moment here and there, shameful though they nonetheless be.

I think you will find that some suburbs in Stockholm, Malmö and Göteborg will come out rather competitive in regards to crime rate, but I give you that there are areas that are way worse.

Look at the statistics from BRÅ (The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention) - the actual research and statistics, and the trends are clear.

I am not sure were you are going with the "extrapolate" bit, but are you perhaps living in Södermalm, central Stockholm and extrapolate yourself? I've got a nice job (in consulting actually) and a reasonably small loan for my overvaluated house, so I am far from bitter, but it does not change the macro trends.

I'm especially concerned about the inflated house prices, and the long term economical trends in the industral sectors, and the lack of any politicial will to even touch the problems.

You are right about the $100K It was a typo, I corrected it.

I disagree. Bitfields mean that you have to do a lot of boilerplate operations which obscure the actual meaning of what you're doing, and can confuse even those who know what's going on, as an error can creep in easily.
Anyone else find it weird that these outages are usually described as a glitch? I'd never use that term (outside of maybe a single event upset or memory corruption).

> There's such a thing as "Psychological violence".

That's a dishonest redefining of a word. The motivation behind it is: people think violence is bad, we'll call this thing violence even though it isn't, so people think this thing is worse that they already think.
> it was entirely about illegals

Yes, of course we're talking about "illegals" (another loaded -- and offensive -- term, BTW). You seem to have completely lost the plot here. We are talking about people who are in the country "illegally" but through no fault of their own. They were brought to this country by their adoptive U.S. citizen parents when they were babies. They have no recollection of the event. (Certainly none of them had any control over it!) They have no memory of their native land, language or culture. They grew up as Americans believing in good faith that they were and are American citizens. And the only thing that makes them not American citizens is some paperwork that their parents failed to complete. But Trump would throw them out along with the rapists and the murderers and anyone else whose papers were not in order.

Afaics this is because there are no other forms of evidence available in sexual assault cases where what's being contested is consent. Two people have had sex, but testify differently over whether one of them said "yes". How do you figure out which one is telling the truth? I know it's very distressing for the victim, but if we keep "innocent until proven guilty" while making circumstantial evidence inadmissible then I don't see how anyone could ever be successfully prosecuted for this kind of assault

The other thing is that these kinds of "misunderstood heroic ignored genius" tales are complete bollocks. In reality there was always an existing idea out there before these "revolutionary innovations".

For example, people had been imagining flying for millennia before the Wright brothers. Leonard da Vinci had drawn hang-gliders and helicopters hundreds of years before and there was the myth of Icarus thousands of years before that. Our distant ancestors even "flew" through the trees. People also have flying dreams, before they've even flown in reality and they probably had flying dreams thousands of years ago too. It's not a new idea so no wonder people weren't that amazed when the Wright brothers flew. There are never any truly new ideas, only remixes and hybrids of existing ones, e.g. Relativity was Einstein's synthesis of ideas from (among others) Poincaré and Lorentz and you can trace their ideas back too.

'is allegedly a grumpy old man who had allegations made about him that he has a history of making politically incorrect jokes.'

Definitions of correctness vary. Saying "history" may also suggest it's some kind of consistent pattern. A huge part of the real issue also seems to be, that on inspection, not very much was found at all.

That's definitely one way of saying Intel is all over the place lately because it has no idea what's "the future."

Many-core CPUs (Phi), FPGA's (Altera), ASICs (Nervana), and now the GPU-like Movidius for machine learning.

You could argue that "they're just experimenting" to see what will take off. But I don't know if paying $17 billion for something (Altera) still fits in the "experiment" category. Was acquiring McAfee antivirus for $8 billion an experiment, too? What if FPGAs aren't the future of machine learning, and they fade out? Does Intel write-off the $17 billion, like it did the $10+ billion it spent on the mobile market.

And it's now trying to make x86 chips, while at the same time making ARM chips better for the competition. I don't think Intel (its current CEO) has any clue about what the company should focus on. Sooner or later, its PC market profits will be squeezed/wasted on these acquisitions, and Intel will need to show something for it.
So: I think it should be illegal, and carry a serious jail sentence.

But it's not violence.
It's not an ARM - it's still a pretty weird Xtensa CPU.

Apparently the toolchain for the CPU is nowhere near as good as those for the ARM.

Thank you so much, I am getting tired of these inclusivity activists that want to force the list of speakers to be representative of every religion, ethnicity, etc.

No I have no problems with the speakers being of any specific ethicity or whatever. The speakers at conferences should be invited by merit or because they can give a good talk about a subject relevant, not just the sake of diversity, I will not care if the speaker is a woman, man, straight or gay, if I go to a conference it is because of the theme not because it has representation of every ethnicity etc.
Specifically an intersectional feminist. It's worth observing that Crockford's own intersections are that he's older, white, cis-male, an authority figure; which ticks just about every box for being an intersectional feminist enemy. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a fair bit of ageism, racism, sexism, heterophobia behind this, for him not being 'diverse' enough.
Not "some portion". As I told you, that first part is all ad revenue.

From the article:

- 75 billion revenue total

- 52 billion "AdWords and Search Advertising"

- 15 billion AdSense

So yes - the vast majority came from the ad business:

15+52=67 billion (90%) from the ad business, that leaves just 8 billion from all other businesses.

"came from Google’s own websites" - that was traffic, it still was ad revenue! With that ad revenue they created free content websites like Youtube. But what pays for Youtube are Google's ads. It is ad revenue. Creating a huge free video site over the years when you have billions to subsidize it is not a sign of superior business intelligence in my opinion.
My guess is it's because 5ghz WiFi is regulatory hell. I honestly can't think of a good way (off the top of my head) to make this easily usable for international users without making it

Or

b) making multiple boards with an extra ROM chip ($$) telling people not to export them to other countries.

At least with 2.4ghz you can just stick to lower numbered channels.

What redefinition? Just look at modern definitions of violence, for example that of the World Health Organization. That definition has been around for ages, and is rather uncontroversial, unlike you seem to suggest.

And even if you want to a total nitpicker, from an etymological standpoint there's nothing that suggests that violence only describes physical acts of violence.

That manual looks great, and probably should have been linked from the Hackaday post.

I'm confused by this, on page 12:

> The capacity of Internal SRAM 1 is 128 KB. Either CPU can read and write this memory at addresses 0x3FFE_0000 ~ 0x3FFF_FFFF of the data bus, and also at addresses 0x400A_0000 ~ 0x400B_FFFF of the instruction bus. The address range accessed via the instruction bus is in reverse order (word-wise) compared to access via the data bus.

That word-reversed mapping seems like a slightly nutty design quirk, but I find it hard to imagine how it could happen by accident. If it's a deliberate feature, is there anything it would actually be useful for?
I find this comment even more disturbing than your first one.

What he said was fully reasonable, why do you doubt his ex-affiliation?
It is, and I even told you why. Here is some further evidence:

Trump probably did not intend "law and order" to be a coded racist message. His profound ignorance almost certainly does extend to this branch of American political history. But that's irrelevant. A loaded term is loaded whether or not the speaker intends it to be. Nixon denied it too:

"Nixon publicly denied that the phrase was a code for racism — the very accusation implied a "reverse racism," he said, as if the critics were suggesting that "the Negroes" didn't want law and order, too. But the message was clear enough in Nixon's references to a "city jungle" that threatened to swallow the affluent suburbs. His TV ads showed a middle-aged white woman walking nervously down a city street at night, where the assailants who might be lurking in the shadows presumably weren't hippies or demonstrators."
This was a new term to me. A "second screen" is when you have a device with its own display, and which also controls another screen. I imagine it's for cases like if your phone were also to display content on a 40" screen in your living room, or you wanted a web-based presentation system where the operator/presenter gets a different screen than the presentation proper.

(When I saw the title, I thought it was about the GNU "screen" terminal multiplexer. The term "secondary screen" made me think of the TSA. I write this now should others be equally as confused as I was.)
What's with this highlighted comment? Are you guaranteed corruption on every half terabyte?

Being disqualified isn't inherently a bad thing. I work hard to ensure my "profile" ensures I get disqualified from things I don't have any interest in, to keep focus on the areas I do well.

E.g. if he is a backend guy, then making that exceedingly clear is a good way of a) avoiding recruiter spam about frontend positions, b) stand out as someone qualifying themselves as a specialist.

The latter is more important the more senior positions you go for - nobody will believe you're an expert at everything, and clearly qualifying yourself with respect to which areas you know in depth makes demonstrates confidence (contrast with the candidate who changes his tune about which subjects they specialise in the moment you mention another technology, trying to be perfect for anything you mention - it is rarely credible)
