The PRU is a fantastic bit of hardware. With two of these running at 200MHz, and direct register-mapped access to GPIO pins, there's a lot of cool stuff you can do with them.

For example, in a recent project, I used one of the PRUs to generate a precise 40MHz square wave clock signal with 40% duty cycle, and the other to read the signal pin of a camera module into shared RAM. It worked extremely well, allowing me to obtain camera data at hundreds of FPS, and freed up the main CPU to do some fairly heavy image processing - all without involving an expensive camera capture rig or an external PC.
Well, one correlation is that Google's coding style for C++ uses spaces and the .cc extension. It stands to reason that some fraction of Google alumni would continue to use both practices in their own work. I don't know if its enough to push a 36% tab usage to 7%, but might account for a solid fraction thereof.

When the public good is funded by the wealthy (through philanthropy) rather than by the government (through taxes), then only the wealthy get to decide what counts as "public good". At least I can (in theory) vote out the government. I can't vote power out of the pockets of the wealthy.

Daniel Craig isn't the person at stake here. Neither is James Bond. The point is that the product is on screen because someone made a monetary deal for it to happen. Call it "placement", but companies wouldnt be forking over money to place their products if it wasn't valuable. Thats what an advertisement is, paying for exposure. The #ad on screen would be because the producers received money for the ad, not the actor speaking the lines that someone else wrote for him.

If James Bond went on a 5 minute spiel about how Smirnoff is the only good Vodka, instead of subliminal product placement, would that be considered an ad? How much of the movie has to be about Smirnoff before it's legally just a 90 minute Smirnoff commercial.

Medicine commercials on TV already have to announce that someone is a paid actor, it's not completely unheard of.

Yeah, if I could get a couple roommates/neighbors in on it, the $20 minimum can easily be met. I don't remember the price/pound of Washio, but it was probably higher than 80 cents.

Also, I hope you're still washing your clothes semi-frequently, or at least your workout clothes.

He's the guy who got suspended from Blogger as mentioned here:

Either way, he's now relaunched his site on his own hosting, and it can be found at http://denniscooperblog.com/.

It's a good example of someone learning that free third party services are not a reliable solution for hosting in the long term (especially with content some may consider 'controversial') and deciding it'd work better if he handled it himself via a real hosting company.
Over the years, the majority of wiccans I have known (barely double digits, to be fair) have been quite up front that it was just a metaphor for organizing their life and worldview, not literally "true" witchcraft. There is a, I don't recall the correct term, belief that you can will positive outcomes into existence by visualizing them. This is not unique to wiccans though.
I don't see the problem: only 3 members of that namespace are currently claimed (4 out of the 36-member namespace: 7z), so we have room for 23 (or 32) more compression standards before running out. We've been using gzip for, what, 20 years now? Only recently have we gotten xz. At this rate, we won't run out of compression standards using this scheme for roughly 153 years. And after that, we could always start using capital Zs, like the old "compress" standard that used the .Z extension. Or we could go to a 3-letter extension ending in z, such as ".fbz", which gives you 676 more options, and 4507 years. Considering that general-purpose data compression really hasn't moved that much since the DEFLATE algorithm took over, and only recently had any real change with the advent of LZMA (used in p7zip and xz), and perhaps this new zstd (too soon to tell), my time estimates here are probably too short.

Better know an apocalypse: South China Sea edition
As self-driving highways, with cars that move at 250 km/h (155 mph), become common, regular driving will probably be restricted to secondary roads first, tertiary later. As time goes by, you will be seen as a nuisance from most of the drivers, as your car will be restricted to driving 60 km/h (37 mph) less than the rest in the same kind of road.

So by the time a law passes that forbids non-autonomous driving, it won't be a "fascist government" but your own countrymen who will take your "basic freedom" away.

But don't worry, I was using the "you" figuratively, by the time this happens, I don't think any of us will be alive. And, of course, there is always the off-chance that someone codifies in the constitution the right to drive a car, assuring that future generations have the freedom to kill themselves in the roads as we proudly do today.

A false positive from your perspective doesn't mean your email address isn't actually being used to sign up for things.

My primary personal email address is routinely used by a small handful of other real people (all strangers) for all sorts of things - college applications, car insurance, some address books think it belongs to a cousin who gets included in a lot of group threads about reunions and full of photos. I've found the families more difficult to unsubscribe from than the services, name+email associations spread like a virus. I routinely get alarming/misleading "Someone has your password!" security alerts from Google after someone tries to list my email as a backup account.

These little strings we use to identify ourselves can be typed by anyone, anywhere, bot or human. I wouldn't worry too much about false positives.

gdb is ok if your needs are simple, and great if you have very complex needs where your need the scripting etc. But it's awful if you want to e.g. quickly step through a bunch of assembler and get a thorough overview of registers + stack frames + dereferencing random chunks of memory.

You can do all of it, and with emacs you can do all of it in buffers, but it feels terribly clunky to me, coming from e.g. Amiga assembly IDE's like AsmOne, that while overall more primitive than gdb, has good defaults for the UI that makes the information most people want very easily available.

Emacs + gdb is like getting your debugger delivered as flatpack and having to assemble it yourself. Great when finally get it just the way you want it, but the learning curve is horrible.

Dokku's target audience is developers who want to run web apps. Cloudron's target audience are the users of the app but want to run the app on their server (for privacy, ownership, control, pride etc).

If you are a developer today, you probably make a SaaS product using Dokku/Heroku.

In a Cloudron world, the developer would instead publish the app on the Cloudron Store (https://cloudron.io/appstore.html) and all people who run Cloudron will automatically get this app (no different from how smartphones + appstore works). I can simply click and install your app on _my_ server. Now, currently, people don't self-host because it's too hard to run your own server. Cloudron is trying to fix that.
Although some of the points made by the blog are interesting, he is underestimating somethings. You don't need a buy button on the boxes at all, computer vision can auto-detect the brand and let Amazon offer you an option to buy it with little effort. You can do that today with barcode. Amazon already has all the infrastructure from "buying" to "shipping product to consumer". All they are doing is making buying easier - it's not revolutionary but a logical step forward. All said, retail stores should definitely be worried about this because Amazon is making it extremely easy to buy stuff now.
Hey, so when Ocaml comes out with modular implicits (hopefully soon!), will they be supported? If I recall correctly, Bucklescript is compiling Ocaml source, as opposed to Ocaml bytecode like js_of_ocaml does [this is incorrect, see below]. Assuming this is the case, I'd guess the downside is you have to specifically work to support potentially complex new features like modular implicits.

I think between modular implicits[0], multicore support (both coming soon), along with BuckleScript and js_of_ocaml, Ocaml will be the functional language to beat in the coming years.

0. For those unfamiliar with modular implicits (Scala has them), they are kind of like type classes, so we won't have to write things like "print_string" or "print_int" anymore; we can just write "print".

Edit: NEvermind, I see you're compiling the lambda IR. So hopefully support for modular implicits will be automatic!
On the other hand, I've used a laundromat's "drop-off" laundry service for about a year, and only once received a piece of clothing that wasn't mine (a top, and a belt) and don't remember ever losing clothing (although it doesn't mean it didn't happen - would I miss a pair of underwear or a plain-colored t-shirt?)
Honestly? Cucumber sorting sounds like a shitty job. Very few people are picketing because humans aren't spending large swaths of their lives churning butter.

But the tone of the article is ridiculous. For any reasonable definition of "it works", the system doesn't work yet.
> But, in any case, even if that is true that he got referred to as "Professor", basically, because Hitler, that's no longer germane to the upthread poster's reference to him as Dr. Von Braun.

Well clearly it isn't. I made a post in this subtree that goes further into why I thought it a useful fact to point out. I'm getting my info from the Von Braun biography that Michael Neufeld wrote, which I read recently. If you don't want to push further into an irrelevant discussion we can stop here.

We use a simpler alternative as password - abc123, I mean what could go wrong. Our accounting and budgeting software was hacked 3 years ago due to it being setup incorrectly and accessible via google search. Since then our security teams have spent more time enforcing smaller rules (comparatively) like blocking flash plugins than asking business users to create stronger passwords. Any attempt to incorporate 2-factor or OTPs is met with "business users time is very precious they cannot be wasting time on using 2-factor or OTP."
Why not legalize the trade and sale of ivory and have states become the sole monopoly of their sale? where so you think the money is coming from?

Once it's legal you can start to squeeze the black market through legislation and regulation. If it's illegal then you're completely powerless.

There's so many parallels here of drug legalization.
What even is "Watson"? It looks like it's just IBM's AI department, but they talk about it as if it's a single program. I know that the Watson that's being applied to medical diagnoses is at least somewhat related to the Watson that was on Jeopardy, but this seems like a different program entirely. Why this weird pretend game that these tasks are all being done by the same general AI? As theatrics go, goofy branding is a lot less interesting than being good at Go.
> They pay more than 14,000/month! It's like a cruise ship.

I would certainly hope so, considering for 14,000/month you can live on an actual cruise ship with money left over for entertainment and a few other things.

It also pains me to see such luxury spent on the elderly. While you may have a personal attachment to them, the rest of society would do much better with that money spent to educate and help the new generations.

This isn't bikeshedding. Bikeshedding is about quibbling over unimportant details. Names are critically and absolutely important. Lots of great things have been hobbled or ruined by poorly-chosen names. A terrible name can cause something worthy to be ignored in favor of something inferior but with a better name. And you don't need to even be competent in the inner workings of a project to criticize its name or suggest better ones. The people who name cars aren't the same people who design the engine-control algorithms for them.

If you disagree, what do you think of naming your kid "Adolph Hitler [lastname]"? Most people agree that a name like that will cause great harm to a child growing up because of the constant ridicule and ostracization he'd inevitably face. That's an extreme example, but names are important.

Note that I don't think this project's name is horrible, but I don't think it's very good either, and could be a lot better.

I'm curious - what was your deletion strategy?

The CodingCapsule links in the comments here suggest that tombstone deletion actually breaks the low-variance promise from the original paper, and only back shift deletion produces the theoretical performance.

This will not work. What will happen is that

a.) the legal market will serve as a cover for the illegal market

b.) you have no way of determining origin of ivory

c.) where would this 'legal' ivory come from in the first place?

d.) enforcement of these rules is impossible or difficult at best. Currently, there are are 6 Fish and Wildlife service employees that are supposed to monitor all incoming cargo to NY and NJ ports for illegal wildlife products. That's very few people for the job.

> There's so many parallels here of drug legalization.

Upon closer inspection there actually aren't. The process of manufacturing drugs isn't actually all that bad (if you ignore the distribution and consumption).
GDB has fairly complete documentation. Like most FSF projects, the documentation is amazingly complete, and also fantastically comprehensible. If you want to use GDB, it's a good place to look. Brendan Gregg had a blog post about using GDB that was on HN a few months back, which also helps explain some of the basics. Finally, Google is, of course, your friend.

As for Emacs, the first step is remapping control onto your your capslock key. It ought to stop your pinkies from cramping. xmodmap, xkbcomp, or xkb rules all provide relatively simple ways to do this. Which one you'll use depends on your distro. It's a fairly common procedure, so you can probably find instructions for your system online.

The next step is to install useful elisp packages, configure your settings, and learn all the bindings, as well as how to do the above. The excellent emacswiki can help with this.

If you're interested in a more vi-like experience, spacemacs is apparently an excellent starting config/package for this. If you're not a vi fan, however, I'd stay away from it. You can find it on github.
From https://haveibeenpwned.com/FAQs :

Why do I see my username as breached on a service I never signed up to?
When you search for a username that is not an email address, you may see that name appear against breaches of sites you never signed up to. Usually this is simply due to someone else electing to use the same username as you usually do. Even when your username appears very unique, the simple fact that there are several billion internet users worldwide means there's a strong probability that most usernames have been used by other individuals at one time or another.
A few anecdotes you mean. Polyamory usually signals a low quality mate, and is tangential to sexual compatibility at best.

Submissive usually means some disorder with the male.

There are tons of disorders that could impact sexual quality of life, but between 2 healthy individuals who are attracted to each other, sexual incompatibility is a myth.

> If you live in a major city, your local dry cleaner already has pick-up and drop-off service on-demand.

if they wanted to be an "Uber for laundry" they should have similarly tapped into underutilized resources - ie. their contractors should have been doing the laundry on personal washer/dryers in homes/garages... We'd see garages in residential neighborhoods full of washers/dryers, without permits, etc... Such an increased efficiency (due to the disruption in particular by cutting off the regulations related and commercial lease expenses) would have generated the required margins like in Uber and AirBNB cases. Of course, whether the world would be a better place for that - that as usually would depend on whether you're the one getting that margin :)
It was supposed to be sarcastic. Didn't get the tone right.
The premise that you need to "earn points and privileges" is the part I disagree with, though.

I want a Q&A site where I can ask a question and get an answer without having to waste months doing pointless stuff to get some imaginary Internet Pointzzz attached to my name.
Absolutely disgusting that you compare low-skill workers being replaced with automation to the holocaust.
I'm not sure I see the "many parallels". I don't think ivory should ever be legal, whether it's squeezed through legislation and regulation or not.

Why not send our (the West's) soldiers and drones into Africa instead of the Middle East?
> I don’t worry too much about that. I spend my efforts making D the best language possible, and let the metrics take care of themselves.

I wish this mindset was more prevalent in open source. I find that the best (most well-designed and useful) projects are those that don't concern themselves with marketing.
That's a great domain name. Did you register it or have to buy it from someone?
I haven't used any of these, but I have experience with seeing FlyCleaners operate in Williamsburg, so it could be that Washio drivers were less willing use bike lanes as parking spaces and believe in stop signs, yielding to crosswalks, and speed limits.
