If you can "read" a schematic, you'll see that it's actually fairly simple; in fact, you should be able to notice the repetition of many areas - it's a very modular design.

Just a bunch of simple and repeated circuits arranged in a certain manner; it's essentially a very special-purpose "computer" where the "code" is fixed in the hardware (literally "hard coded"). Much of it borrows or is identical to analog computing circuits (most especially the way the "ball" is drawn - sine/cosine waves generated and scaled, then combined on the x/y axis, which are also updated by oscillators for the ball movement).

Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing achievement, especially done "blind" and "dead-bug" style.

Also, note the various places where it looks like two diodes are in parallel, hooking up one line to ground. I'm not sure exactly what it is doing here in this circuit, but I know that in single-element ultrasonic distance sensor circuits, such a similar construct is used to protect the input of the receiver portion of the circuit from the high-voltage (due to amplification) of the transmitter when the "ping" is generated; in other words, it acts like a "voltage clamp" or filter to attenuate the signal. That is probably what is going on here, too - to prevent high-voltage spikes from being transmitted further down the line, and routing them to ground. Something like that...
'Intentionally splinter' is a likely and interesting answer. Mastodon.social (the main site, with about 40K users) has now actually closed for registrations, so users are going to Mastodon.xyz, Mastodon.club, or one of the many other instances: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/master/docs/Using.... Users on all of these can still communicate between one another freely though. Users can join any one they like and keep talking to all the others, or start their own, and can import and export their data to move between them fairly easily too (although you can't forcibly redirect the people who were originally following you).

Each of those instances are (potentially) run by different people, who can each have their own rules and limit entrance however they like, to ensure they can maintain their own rules. If an instance wants to allow nazis, or doesn't want to enforce any rules at all, then fine, but most others will block them. The nazis can have their own little corner of the internet, but nobody else will talk to them.

In practice, if Mastodon reached hundreds of millions of users, I'd expect that to be spread over a great many instances, run by many independent groups which makes the enforcement problem _mostly_ simpler. It's not perfect, but it's an interesting approach.
I am using it, that's the whole point of having multiple windows open. Each window shows whatever is relevant about that context, and it takes up no more space than necessary so I can have as many sources of information visible as I want.

Also, it's nice for spacial awareness. I feel a little bit lost when a window takes over the entire screen and blanks everything else out.

So, you complain about Twitter's inherent lack of freedom, then offer an alternative which "bans nazis"? Given the frequency with which internet debates end up invoking Godwin's Law, that sounds even worse than what it's trying to replace. Who decides who's a nazi?

I'm also confused by the distinction (or relationship) between this and GNUsocial. The article seems to suggest that Mastodon is an instance of (or at least compatible with) GNUsocial. The Mastodon FAQ seems to suggest it's a completely separate and incompatible thing.

FWIW, there are already several longer established GNUsocial-based almost-clones of Twitter out there, offering more than Mastodon seems to. Personally, I use Quitter, to scratch my FOSS 'twittering' itch:

I was referring mostly to Sky. I'm sure BBC did a fair amount though, not really sure on C4. With Sky now including Pat Symonds I'm sure the amount of technical content will increase too.

Absolutely. I mean, could you imagine F1 drivers having to negotiate the track with the 911s, Astons & Corvettes? They'd throw a damn hissy fit.

Not only does it make the race exciting from logistics/entertainment perspective, but at any given time there are multiple first place battles occurring. It's hugely entertaining.

I've just applied for this, would be great to have a chat about the role. Email is ruairidhwm at gmail.
Yes we distribute the child tables among the cluster. Our default distribution mode uses "sticky" partitioning where a partition prefers to stay on the same node. This allows you to control data colocation via the partition key. Our clustered solution is not released yet but we plan to handle node failures via regular postgres STONIH mechanisms. Once node failure is detected, the system reconfigure which children to use.

Query parallelization works in single and multi-node cases.
If I recall correctly, there was some work done on getting Linux running on the GBA. I think DSLinux started with that.
Pixel starts at $650 not $1000.

But I agree that $500+ phones (Google AND Apple) should IMHO be security-supported for 5 years. It would be better for all of us.
everything i've ever purchased from samsung has broken. i just don't even consider their gear now.
Sounds pretty counterproductive, unless it's designed to keep out democrats / supporters, not terrorists. Under this system, any serious terrorist is just going to create a clean legend. Just because terrorists are terrible people doesn't mean they are also lazy.
Are they going to turn back everyone who refuses to give social media logins, and everyone who claims not to have a social media account?
I was referring to the post that the parent linked to, which criticizes Google for letting the various Android partners get away with never shipping security updates. The latest Android on a Pixel phone may have good security, but not the majority of phones out there that are way out of date.
My current side project: I am working on an app to go through my social media accounts, pull down the text of every URL I have ever posted (2,000+), and do natural language processing on the content of each URL retrieved.

Reasons I am doing this:

- I wanted to brush up on my Python and get acquainted with the request and BeautifulSoup modules

- I wanted to use Sqlite for a project and try out some new database design ideas in a non-production environment (immutable rows and JSONifying all data that's not indexed, for example)

- I wanted to get familiar with natural language processing in Python (NTLK module).

Been working on it on and off over the last month or so, and am trying to make some sort of measurable progress each evening. When completed, I'll put the code up on GitHub along with any interesting results I obtained.
I read the whole trilogy when I was 16 I think.

What a great set of books, and I secretly hope it will one day be made into movies or a serie (HBO please ? ;-) )
Sure, you could try any number of things to produce a solution. But even if you try an approach where you don't know at first what might work, you should likely still put effort into figuring out what features made it work, so that you can improve it further and maintain stability.
Just curious, why is the limit 10 (and not say 11) and why have a limit at all?
Please don't post unsubstantively like this on HN.

True. Also from the article:

The Journal report said the DHS official working on the review said
questions under consideration included whether visa applicants believe in
so-called honor killings, how they view the treatment of women in society,
whether they value the “sanctity of human life” and who they view as a
legitimate target in a military operation.

Do they possibly think people won't figure out the right answers?
But it's not a random walk. And it sure beats custom apis returning random bags of data for any given UI screen.

Sometimes you do a few more web calls than you might otherwise. If you can get away with it then great! Because the benefits are plenty

Hell! Even just having the uri of where the resource came from is useful enough. That's before you've introduced related resources.
> A friend also expressed that it might not be worth it to use Django if just for the ORM and migrations (backend is just api), is he right?

Yes, he is right. If you add The rest framework: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/
you can implement your app all the newest JS frameworks and maintaining a great server environment. You'll have nice debugging tools, a great language and a robust and mature framework.
The team's growth was partly because of its perceived success at managing operations, but also because of large growth in customer base and application sprawl. The business model we had depended on fast releases and customers who refused to pay for much-needed testing or QA, but were happy to pay for the support we provided. Not saying that's a good thing, but it was the plate we were served.
By the time you definitely know what a new policy means its too late to do anything about it. In this case, there is most definitely a policy making its way through the administration, and the problems described by the article are on the table. The mays/coulds/woulds are simply a reflection of the changing nature of an unfinished document.

The insinuation that the Guardian is just making it up is wrong on its face. Example:

[Homeland Security Secretary] Kelly told a House homeland security committee hearing in February: “We want to say for instance, ‘What sites do you visit? And give us your passwords,’ so that we can see what they do on the internet. If they don’t want to give us that information then they don’t come.”

So what's a newspaper supposed to do? Not report on it until it is signed law?
This!

1000 times this!
My guess is with enough data collection they'll be able to verify that via your friends. The same way that even if you don't use gmail, virtually all your friends do, so practically speaking google sees all your email even if you don't use it.

You're right, I got confused expanding the number of bits, I'd edit my post... but it seems I can't anymore. shrug

That makes the birthday paradox / problem a LOT worse as well.

On Windows there are quite a few software packages that do this. On some you can even drag files from one device to another.
Except the browser really isn't. It has strict behavior, and the list of what happens as it loads that hypermedia is deterministic and known to both the client and server. The difference between what happens when the browser sees a "stylesheet" link reference and a "icon" one is significant, and not something the browser is expected to figure out on its own.

The HATEOAS idea is that you throw that out, just use some aribitrary XML (sorry, "hypermedia") to return your application state, and that this somehow magically empowers the client to be able to puzzle out all the things that can be done to your state.

Except it can't. It's just arbitrary junk if you don't have a schema and a spec. And it will always be so. Discoverability is (1) not something you can get from a data structure and (2) something best provided by documentation, not runtime behavior.
If it's RF, or chip-surface level - there's analog in there somewhere. While digital logic is somewhat forgiving, for production level work you do need to have some understanding of analog to make a successful design and stable implementation. Plus there's always the power-supply stuff, and a bunch of other things that will always be analog as well. So I agree that it won't completely die off (especially in the commercial realm) - but it certainly isn't as common in the hobbyist world as it once was.

/saying this as someone who considers analog a black though beautiful art
Looking forward to next OpenSource RhodeCode release which will now support rendering jupyter notebooks.

It'll be second to Github source code management with Jupyter support.
I grew up around racing and cars, not F1, but SCCA, NHRA, NSCAR and the like.

F1 is just plain boring. Yes, the tech is ASTOUNDING and really got me into engineering to begin with. Taking into account the elasticity of titanium piston rods, the down force aerodynamics, the regen braking, all that jazz, it is all SO COOL.

But, as other commenters point out, the race is won in 10 seconds, there is no passing anymore. Like the recent Pacquiao or Rousey fights, you can't even enjoy a single beer before the event is done. There is no drama, there is no excitement, just a ton of talking by boring people trying to fill time. In F1, it becomes a match of who does not screw up and make a mistake.

Why watch that? How can I get my own kids into that kind of a 'sport', to them is it their father sitting on the edge of the seat for about a minute, then hours of nothing. Why would they want to watch it? They know that they will never be able to compete at that level, as they know it is all about the money that we don't have as a family. No amount of hard work will get a little boy into those seats if dad is not a Billionaire. Maybe they can study really hard and become a person that does CAD models for one of those teams. But there are no dreams of F1 cars for little boys anymore. So why bother? What does F1 have that could keep me watching? If you believe the stats, a lot of people are asking the same thing: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2016/04/20/f1-has-lost-one-third-...
There are more overtakes, but not _better_ overtakes. The vast majority are boring passes on the straights, with absolutely zero excitement.

Switch on DRS, breeze past the guy on the straight.

NBA Foul Calls and Bayesian Item Response Theory
Ensuring documentation is in sync with code is straightforward if you have tooling in place to generate documentation from code. For example, at edX we use Django REST Framework and django-rest-swagger. Our Swagger docs are always up-to-date.
One more thing to add: Postgres index usage via index-only-scans go a long way to mitigating performance issues of wide rows (although, admittedly not disk-space issues). This allows good performance on columnar rollups.

They might if the find the "real equipment" undeclared in your bag.
It would be cool if you added data feeds, for product and inventory to it, and made "giving out" those feeds easy. And then had a system for "consuming" the feeds that was "easy".

As a small eCommerce site, i'd LOVE to have feeds from all my suppliers, but unless you're selling millions a year for them few suppliers bother with the effort. Most suppliers create feeds by having an FTP server, and they periodically throw a csv file on it.

Then as a consumer of the feed, since so many of these solutions are "home grown" you learn to not trust the data. So you have to build up really sophisticated systems. For example if a supplier tells me in a feed he had 10 widgets, and I got that feed 2 hours ago. My algorithm might tell me he only has a reliable supply of 2.

I've thought about building something like this, but I didn't want to get into the business of selling software to suppliers (they're notorious cheap skates).

Not sure if you are aware of it, but there is a group trying to do just this (with electric cars): http://roborace.com/

This is idiocy. Freecell was originally sold as part of a games pack for Windows, and Candy Crush Saga is a highly-rated game that's otherwise available from the Windows Store. Thousands of people have downloaded it.

The Good Times video in Windows 95 also sold Edie a lot of CDs, but it would be equally stupid to criticize that. In both cases, Microsoft is providing something entertaining that demonstrates some benefit of the operating system.
Grep for the internet.

What I often want is not a search engine, not a recommender, but a filter. Something that would allow me to look at the distributions of content on the Web rather than trying to answer my questions. I badly wanted to pay someone a few quid for a service like this, but had to build it myself.

Techtonica.org | San Francisco Bay Area | Instructor | Full-Time | $90K+ and possible benefits | Onsite

Techtonica is a new Bay Area nonprofit that works with tech companies to offer free tech training, living and childcare stipends, and job placement to local women and non-binary femme adults in need.

We're currently seeking a full-time instructor in San Francisco who can relate to the target audience on as many levels as possible—our students are low-income women and non-binary femme adults local to the Bay Area and 75% people of color.

The salary goal is $90,000 or more, with less to start while we secure sponsors. We can offer benefits if needed, but unfortunately at this time we can't offer a visa or relocation assistance. This role is from 9-6 M-F, ~1 evening per week, and 1-2 Saturdays per month. We're looking for:

* Prior experience teaching and developing curriculum and at least 2 years of professional experience in web development (any language should be fine)

* Hard-working fervor for diversity in tech, guiding learning, and empowering local women and non-binary adults with low incomes

* Ability and willingness to manage volunteers who help with workshops and developing open-source curriculum

* Etc.: https://techtonica.org/careers/

Because this role involves a lot of people-interacting, it might be best if you're extroverted or at least an ambivert, but you should also respect the space needed by introverts, especially since you'll be working closely with the founder, who is an introvert.

The interviewing process involves a Google Hangout interview, writing a lesson plan, and teaching a technical concept. Please send a link to your LinkedIn profile, other personal page, or resume to info@techtonica.org.

I did a bit of recruiting for a, not quite porn, porn site in the past. I'm in the Midwest so that probably affected it but I did run into a decent number of people who didn't want to work in the industry or at that company.
This is doable. If one were, uh, hypothetically, to write a library that did this, how would the HN community recommend monetizing it? I have no experience selling my wares to anyone but a large company, let alone an app store or something like that. Would the tool primarily be applied to nice clean audio, like books on tape, or also required to work with significant background noise?
Technically (loosely) the way the ball (circle) in the game is a lissajous figure; it uses a scaled sin and cosine signal driving the x and y input of the oscope to create it. It's one of several signals (mainly on the y-side) that are mixed down (done in a similar manner to a simple op-amp backed audio mixer circuit) before being sent to the scope input.
It seems the Trump people are completely ignorant of the practice of taqiyya (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiya).
I'm a huge rally fan, and I find the driving skills are astonishingly diverse; the technology impressive; coverage spectacular; and all of it much more relatable.

BUT... it's for all intents and purposes a "race your own race" (with occasional exceptions). Despite the commentary setting up sense of competition, there's in reality only one car in camera shot at any given time. That, is an acquired taste as a spectator :)
I forgot I had Hyperdock on my last Mac and when I got my new one I thought it was broken because it wouldn't snap / scoll maximize.

Are you considering configurable automated downsampling triggers for inserts over time buckets? Essentially these would be aggregates triggered to fire and insert the resulting values into another table of lower granularity after the time bucket has closed (1s, 10s, 1m, 5m, etc.)
