Im curious to know what you find out on that. One resource you might enjoy is Jack Ganssle's Embedded Muse. Go through back issues. He and his readers have all kinds of neat tips from tools to firmware tricks. I remember one there and today on Schneier blog was talking about noticing specific analog problems through sound from the waves they leaked. They didnt have equipment onhand so tuned an AM radio or something to it. Most isnt that exciting but those gems slip in there.

I doubt it. In my experience the elderly tend to have weird diets, especially towards the end. I'm guessing it's due to a bunch of factors: trouble chewing/swallowing means eating is more of an ordeal, reduced need for calories because of reduced physical activity, and reduced sense of taste and smell makes eating unrewarding. My great grandmother spent her last year or two subsisting almost entirely on Kit Kat bars. We used to joke she could have appeared in a commercial for them, implying the Kit Kat bars were the reason for her longevity (she was 98).
The author probably wants a HN-like site where most of the posts and comments are hardware. That's definitely not HN where those are uncommon.
The author also has a huge blind spot for treating the world like it's a computer program where you can just increment everybody's account by $100,000 in education coupons and there will be no taxation effects, bubbles, scams, or opportunity costs. No understanding of economic incentives, no humility about the difficulty of social engineering, no respect for freedom.

I don't think knowing details of algorithms is why strong CS skills are important.

Understanding CS teaches a lot about seeing abstractions and choosing between different levels of abstraction and problem solving. It greatly helps modelling business problems as software. I don't think it is important as an end in itself.

Extended interview process as a contractor?
Ive been interviewing at a currently healthy SF company, I'm wondering if what they are asking of me is normal. Ive been through multiple phone and video interviews with employees. I flew out for a full day of sharing my work and being individually interviewed by many employees at my own expense. The next steps they are asking me to do are to come back out to SF for 2-4 weeks to work on a number of projects as a contractor. I understand why they would want to do this, but it has definitely soured my excitement and I'm not sure I want to do it.

Are you seriously claiming people have never let $50k slide as part of a business deal, then when things have gotten acrimonious, pursed every available avenue? Because I've seen it happen (well, more like $30k, but this just used for personal stuff).

And he did steal the $50k -- notice on his website he nowhere refutes that bit. It's blah blah blah GT invested (yes), he was in an incubator (yes), but that doesn't make your GT funds for your academic work into your Sayana funds for your Sayana work. And as mentioned elsewhere, everyone involved: prosecutor, judge, GT, peers at GT, peers at other universities, ie everyone without the last name Laskar, agree he stole at minimum that $50k.
I could be wrong, but my understanding is that Y Combinator works to help fund founders who have interesting startup ideas. This strikes me as materially different from funding pure research or, in some cases, gently guided research.

I was wondering the same question because I have an EE degree and am annoyed there is no website that spews interesting content for my profession. Maybe Planet Analog or EEVBlog forum? It's very hard to find great tutorials.

I would argue that this website covers both hardware/software in the natural proportion of hardware:software developers. If I had to guess then that would be 1:30.

Why is it 1:30? Because hardware developers have way more at stake than their software counterparts. One injection mold costs $8000, one PCB assembly run costs $12000, one PCB costs $900 and one week, one wafer costs $400,000 and six months. So there are just a lot less hardware developers than there are firmware/software ones.

Look at the distribution of posts on the HN two front pages

6 Other
5 Cutting Edge software like AI
4 Information Security /Privacy
4 Show HN or similar (a product or dev tool)
4 Historical Computers
3 Non-Technology news
3 Design
2 Other Technology news
1 Ask HN

Only 17/50 of those are actually pure software posts. (Software optimization, Cutting Edge software like AI
Design) The rest would likely be on a hardware website too.

Software changes much faster than hardware. Software can be acted on by individuals and posted on HN by individuals, not just companies/universities with $1m research labs. But when new hardware comes out that is intellectually interesting, like IBMs quantum computer, or an ESP8266, or Google's Tensor Computer Units, you'll bet you can find it on HN.

> Rust doesn't compile that way -- you can't compile individual modules at once, only the entire crate.

I think we have a terminology mixup. I was using 'module' in the win32 LoadModule() sense: a shared dynamically loaded library (ie. a .DLL in windows or .SO in linux.) I'm not sure how Rust crates (or other compilation units) map to those - my guess would be that a given crate will be compiled into (in win32 terms) a .exe .lib or .dll

I /think/ the Rust equivalent of the case I'm describing would be that you have a struct that's part of the public API of a crate, and it's being used across multiple crates in a large project where you don't want to fully recompile the world in order to test your changes.

> Of course you may be in a situation where you can't rely on the debuginfo (stripped binary or something?), in which case this will be annoying. But it's really a similar situation as you have with inlining when you don't have debuginfo.

In my C++ experience there end up being plenty of cases where it's really useful to be able to inspect raw memory (ie. hex dump, with no debugger or without enough context for the debugger to help you) and figure out what was going on. Obviously Rust is designed to dramatically reduce the frequency of that kind of debugging, but to me this still feels more like a simple-vs-easy trade off [1] than a strict win.

> The presence of ADTs in Rust mean that the layout of many types isn't immediately obvious without debuginfo anyway.

Pardon my Rust ignorance, but is this scenario significantly different from C++ templates? The layout of a (judiciously) templated C++ class may not be "immediately obvious" but in practice it's often still very straightforward to infer.

fair enough correction...thank you. I was being overly simplistic.
The thing to be fair about there is that you can install Windows 2012 R2 in a VM in about 15 minutes, but if you want to apply all updates, you could be sitting there for hours.

I built and updated two servers on spinning rust last week and it took six separate reboot cycles and nine total hours.

It probably isn't about "forgetting", as much as considering that there was indication patches were relevant and you wanted to start this research today.

Edit: It's easy to call people "amateurs" in hindsight, and not necessarily fair.
I don't think it gets murky. They can't "sell" something but actually mean rent it. That is false advertising, and most people aren't yet accustomed to thinking in this way (i.e. playforsure). A sale is a sale and if people want to redefine it to make what amounts to a highly conditional sale (at best), we should just call that rent.

If some one needs to conduct important business then making 600 extra dollars isn't enough to incentivize that person to give up their seat. Making it a percentage of the flight cost is arbitrary because it's not related to the amount of your time they are wasting or your opportunity cost of not taking that flight.

That's true if you limit yourself to, say, GNU make -- but there are GNU-make-compatible alternatives like Electric Make, part of ElectricAccelerator (http://electric-cloud.com/products/electricaccelerator), that add features like ledger, to trigger rebuilds when compiler flags change; filesystem monitoring for truly accurate dependency detection; and parse avoidance, to avoid reparsing the makefile on every run; as well as a long list of other enhancements.

I read that and my comment stands.

Whether you get off on the statute of limitations or not does not matter, what matters is that there is no conviction, so you're simply wrong but for some reason you can't seem to move past that bit.

The rest of the case was not decided on its merits so you can't make statements like the ones you made and not everybody that is charged with something is guilty of it.

You will notice the very careful wording of that document including bits such as 'alleged', 'purportedly' and 'can'.

In other words, had the case gone forward there is always a chance that there would be a conviction, but since it did not we will simply never know.

But the judge leaves ample room for a case that would have been decided in the defendants favor on other grounds than the one chosen, which is that they simply waited too long.

And now it is up to you to decide why they waited that long.

Also, you keep claiming that he stole $50k, but the judge - rightly, in my opinion - writes that that's not what he did. Let me cite the article you linked:

"The question before the Court is what constituted the alleged thefts: the
taking of the chips or the taking of Georgia Tech's money? Defendant's technology was built from
from microchips, not bank notes.
What he purportedly
stole from Georgia Tech was the microchips
he (through Georgia Tech) ordered from CMP.

Those chips rightfully belonged to Georgia Tech because Georgia Tech ultimately, paid for them.

However, the University's payment for the merchandise is a collateral consequence of the Defendant's alleged theft, and a measure of the value of the goods Defendant allegedly stole. The Payment is not, however the 'theft' that allegedly occurred in this case."

In laymans terms that reads: The court decides that the theft if there was one was the chips, not the money and that the date when that happened is now so far in the past that the case is dead crucially, without deciding whether or not a theft actually took place.

Since this whole case seems to have started with jealousy and people smearing the defendant it is particularly ugly that you continue to write blatant un-truths.

It is interesting that they removed they didn't allow positions that resulted from captures in the training dataset. I wonder why would that affect negatively the results. The explanation they give (opponent will likely capture back soon) does not sound enough to me. The tactics of the position should capture that. Is this because it is hard for the network to learn from positions with less material and tactical opportunities?

Any "job" does not require a college degree. A "job" is something that anyone can be trained to do. If you think that the purpose of college is to train you for a "job" then you're doing it wrong. The point of college is teach you the underlying fundamentals of how things like language and science work, so that you can extend those rules and use them to create new things and new ideas. You go to college to learn how to create value, not get a job. There will always be a need for vocational training. But putting in the long, hard work of accumulating intuitive knowledge of the fundamental sciences, and having that knowledge verified by society to assure you haven't deluded yourself, is the only way to operate at the highest level of intellectual ability for anyone short of a true genius.
Free trade benefits all parties except for the people who previously benefited from the redistribution of wealth/income that that the tariffs effectively caused.

We've opened up free trade, and gotten rid of many hodge-podge, patchy tariffs, but we haven't replaced the wealth/income redistribution with anything else. The tax system is now less progressive than it was.

Every tariff removed should have had the government income it represented replaced with an increase in some other broad-based tax to compensate. Otherwise you're not just making the system less patchy, you're actually just taxing less, and lower taxes generally means worse income and wealth inequality.

So tariffs are a terrible idea, but I think no tariffs at all can be worse. I'd rather have a patchy inconsistent push against rising wealth inequality than none at all.

I realise that the US has a progressive personal income tax scale, but my impression (as a foreigner) is that it's severely gamed at the upper end. Didn't Warren Buffet once point out that he pays less tax than his secretary, despite being a billionaire (and presumably with the income to match)?

If this is the true (that high income earners pay very little personal income tax), what you're suggesting would remove all tax on foreign capital and shift nearly the entire Federal tax burden on to middle and low income earners. And I thought the Republican proposal was to halve corporate tax rates and make up the revenue by taxing domestic consumption (in the form of a CFT).
