Agreed on all points. Even though actions may be specific to the local situation, I think it can still be useful to share, as it can provide a starting point for ideas, even if it's not directly applicable.

Thanks again!
Very cool. I think there's a lot of focus on code quality and organization and shit; sometimes it's important to remember you built something! You should be proud of yourself.
You two are missing the point. See my reply to the parent comment of your post.
Yeah, if your compiler can't optimize the if statement to the same code as the direct return, throw it away and get a new one.

And there is pretty much never an "obvious" place to optimize. Profile first. If you want to call it "obvious" if something takes up 90% of the runtime in the profiler when it shouldn't, then that's acceptable, but don't just look at the code and say "obviously this part is slow."
You're trying to solve a problem that doesn't even exist in the current H1B system. Where are all the H1B parking attendants? Do you really think "parking attendant, needs to speak random language for no discernible reason" is something USCIS can't filter? If it was that easy, Tata would just list all their IT jobs as requiring a Hindi/Bengali/etc. speaker and not need to bother with any of the crony capitalism. Also if the ceiling was specific to groups of jobs, you could enumerate the list of acceptable jobs and not put parking attendants on the list. Then you couldn't sneak one in for even $100k.

Why would the optimum H1B wage floor for every industry that suffers from a lack of local talent just happen to be the one that makes sense for tech? And why would it make sense for it to be the same everywhere when wages and living expenses vary so much with location? You're proposing actively ignoring the market wage, not taking it into account.
An active C++ backend. I'm now more and more interested.

I'm not suggesting competing with Haskell, but Haskell doesn't really target industry, never has and never will.

PureScript is very industry focused. With a solid Erlang and JavaScript backend, it gives you quite a nice single language for a lot of industry use cases, and with a possible C++ backend, might even work out for more cases.

Haskell pushes the envelope of typed FP even further, and adds laziness to it all. But I think there's room for something like PureScript to bridge the gap. If the Polish is there, and the tooling, and a strong commitment to stability, I can see a bright future.
Yes! We have a bunch of Rust apps at work, and just one of them was still on nightly, and now we can move that to stable, too. And we can get rid of a bunch of build.rs scripts elsewhere, which is always nice.
You can do success type-checking w/ dialyzer, so there's already a way to think about this. An instance of a gen_server is a pid, the become message in this example is a tuple of an atom and function.

Sigh.

I like FETs as much as the next engineer but if you're going to write about them, try to not make things worse.

In particular, this made me sad: the 10K resistor to ground isn't strictly necessary, but it ensures that the MOSFET remains OFF if the arduino is disconnected or it's pin is not an OUTPUT.

I was helping a high school student with a transistor project and he was complaining that "half the FETs he bought were 'bad'". And they weren't really bad, but they were destroyed. They were destroyed because, like our author, the student had no understanding of how the FET worked and so didn't realize that when you exceed the maximum Gate voltage on a FET it generally causes a current to "jump the gap" to the source and that permanently breaks it. What is even more, since the gate is essentially a capacitor, you can just touch the gate with your finger and pass enough charge (without feeling a shock or anything) to greatly exceed the gate voltage. Pick up the FET without being grounded and "boom!" dead FET.

Now there is almost no way to generate enough current by touching a Bipolar transistor to kill it, and so they continue to work for a long time while plugging them in and out of breadboards.

Do they dissipate more power? Absolutely. Are they difficult to run in parallel? Sure. But they are pretty robust parts. Sort of like the difference between alkaline batteries and LiON rechargeable batteries. Sure the latter are a "better" choice, you can recharge them after all, but if you use them wrong they catch on fire, if you short an alkaline battery it gets hot but doesn't go ballistic on you.

So those "antique" parts are generally very cost effective, very robust, and easy to get. So they make excellent tools to teach you the basics. Do you want to stay with them as you get more advanced? Probably not, but you're probably not skiing on the same skis you learned on either.

2n7000, BS270 are both pretty cheap for small signal FET applications.

For analog applications, BJTs are still very much important, but for digital stuff (and especially power stuff), it is usually easier to grab a cheap FET than use a BJT.
Is Windows XP still "good enough"? Even if it still got security fixes, the actual security model it was built on is definitively no longer adequate for the modern world. I'd very much argue Windows 7 is rapidly falling into that territory as well. It's easy to make this "forever Windows 7" argument today, just like it used to be that people could say they were never leaving XP.

But in reality, we're rapidly approaching the point where we absolutely need to be able to sandbox apps and segregate them from the platform like with UWP.

While the basic functionality of the OS you need may not change much, the constantly moving target of security definitely will, and both 8 and 10 introduced significant improvements in security.

Show HN: AppToolkit.io – Your Launchkit.io Replacement
Hi all,

So we were early and power users of Launchkit.io when it came out. We used almost every service they had, and were beta users for services they were testing. So when Google bought Cluster (the parent company), the team opensourced LK, and we took a run at it and are releasing it as apptoolkit.io

Our version is the core launchkit code, including an API to move your existing LK resources to us. We've added in some new features (horizontal screenshots) and are working on getting the beta ones ready for regular release (super user tracking, cloud config, onboarding screens).

There are free and paid levels, so anyone can poke around and see what we did. Love to get feedback if you have any.

Thanks,
Hi! Love your site. Always wondered, is it making any money?
I think the site is nice - it's clean and directly to the point. No huge hero and no click-throughs to get to the meat of your project. Prices for your posters seem entirely reasonable.

Tangent: I don't understand the fascination with one's own commit heatmap (or any other commit heatmap for that matter). Maybe it seems a bit too self-congratulatory? Vain? I don't know quite what it is, but it rubs me the wrong way and I wouldn't be interested in putting something up like that in my home or office. Maybe because it implies quantity over quality? Whatever the reason, your poster project is nice regardless of whether or not I would buy one.
I build a lot of guitar effects, and that community is even worse when it comes to attachement to obsolete components. The discontinuation of J201 JFETs (in TO-92 through hole package at least) by Fairchild has caused a lot of upset. My perspective, not widely shared, is that JFETs in general have been made obsolete by depletion-mode MOSFETs, at least in audio circuits.

Part of the reason, I think, is that a lot of "designers" of guitar pedals don't understand the math that determines component values for a particular transistor in a particular circuit so they don't know how to either select a modern transistor to replace an obsolete one based on datasheet parameters or to change the collector / emitter / source / drain / etc resistor values to work right with a new part.
Based on all the supposed benefits of doing math, it sounds like people would be better off studying philosophy. Same benefits but a much broader appeal, and far more applicable to most people's everyday lives.

When I finally "discovered" philosophy in college, I was angry that we hadn't been exposed to it at all in middle or high school. Instead, I'd been forced to waste years on things like math, biology, etc. that I had no interest in and no use for. Our history / social studies classes would be greatly improved if they incorporated more philosophy.

More like give a man a computer and he'll start looking at porn.
Probably not. The study covers this in more detail than any of the articles, but malnutrition was the second biggest factor in the deaths.

In most cases of sickness (and nearly all cases of death), the lychee was the bulk of the food eaten by the child. The children were already somewhat hypoglycemic because they weren't eating much, and due to their diet weren't ketogenic (minimal fat or protein in their diet). When the hypoglycin blocked the oxidation of the minimal fatty acids and protein in these children, they eventually ran out of usable glucose, resulting in seizures.

For someone who is merely ketogenic, the hypoglycin would block some but not all of the oxidation of fatty acids, and [edit] generally would not effect the liver production of glucose from glycogen. The amount of dietary fats/proteins in a ketogenic diet would overcome the effect of the hypoglycin, and someone on a normal non-ketogenic diet might not even feel any symptoms due to the body's heavier reliance on the liver-glucose pathway.

There's of course a balance to be struck, and mobs will turn on people in an instant anyway. I'm merely saying that "peers" did not originally mean "random fellow humans"; it implied a level of connection above that.

fwiw, I find the long term support pretty minimal. I'm only slightly more conservative in my use of`pacman -Syu` than I would be with `apt-get dist-upgrade`. If I notice a kernel or DE upgrade, I might hold off until the weekend on the off-chance that it needs a bit of extra maintenance. I appreciate handling these changes in smaller batches, as opposed to the 6-month system-wide major upgrade cadence. Of course, if I was just jumping between LTS releases, maybe only dealing with serious maintenance every other year would be an appealing trade-off.
