I've done a bunch of 8051 projects, if you have to choose between ARM and 8051 - choose ARM!

8051 cores are cheap but they have weird memory hierarchies - managing them results in giant code, unless you're willing to break into assembly way too often
I had lot's of fun with the simpliest one of TI's launchpads[1]. Sample code is written in a way that doesn't hide implementation details like Arduinos do. It really improved my understanding of uC.

The article's suggestion means eating up 50G of allocation straight away. I don't think needing to estimate your compressed allocation up front is an easier solution at all. Normally with directories you use thin provisioning pulling from the whole device's free space; thick provisioning for a directory is not a path for easier reduce space consumption.
You can remove such files using Bash on Windows. `rm con.proj` works just fine.
> This is the fallacy. That somehow there is a magical formula that determines "compatibility".

I never suggested there was, and agree with you that there isn't. A ton of things go into compatibility, and determining the compatibility between two people is a case-by-case, very personal thing.

> I'm of the opinion that nearly any two people, put together, should be capable of making a lifelong relationship work.

I think we're going to have to just disagree, then, because I don't share that opinion. I of course don't believe in something silly like soulmates, and I do think people can be compatible with many more people than they think they could be, but it's a matter of degree, and I think most arbitrary/random pairings likely won't/can't turn out well.

Put another way, perhaps nearly any two people put together could make it work... but at what cost to both of them? For some pairings it would be low cost, and for others drastically higher. Why would that cost always be worthwhile, just for the sake of having a long-term relationship?

I'm too young (at least too immature) to have gone through the whole marriage loop, but I recognise this. I'm christian, although progressive, and had a great relationship with a girl who wasn't. We had a great deal in common, but she thought that church was a "weird" institution and I couldn't relate to that experience. Of course I took the easy way out when some shit happened.

We do still talk frequently though, and she's probably the one person who knows me best.
How long does it take to break a window? How long does it take to replace that window?

Destruction and creation are asymmetrical with respect to the time and effort required to do either, and that's not even looking at immaterial stuff such as international reputations and treaties.
I live not too far from the Danish location Stevn Klint, a chalk cliff formation where the Alvarez'es found one very neat exhibit for their case. Utterly fascinating: You can climb to the foot of the cliffs, and there, unmistakable and obvious, is the dark, horizontal line in the massive wall of white - you can see it, you can touch it, and you can ponder the very different nature of fossil below and above the line.

There is a local museum rigth next to the cliffs. A few years ago, I spoke to the leader there, a woman with a ph.d. in history, who more or less supplied the final death blow to any lingering respect I might have held for any kind of humanities: Her only take on Walter and Louis Alvarez and their world famous work in her own backyard was how of course they were so arrogant, they had raised hostility among scientists and everybody else the world over.

would there be a advantage to not only creating a reduced instruction set but a minimal instruction set and letting the compiler do the rest. especially when you can add a lot more cores, so that mul becomes a cpu core with a counter and add for example.

For a more consistent behaviour, I deleted the other default iOS keyboards (in Settings) and just left the swype-style one (Google's now, used Swiftkey before). Occasionally I get an iOS keyboard (without any language) but very rarely, I guess some timeout in opening the swype-style keyboard.
What nobody seems to be mentioning here is that under treaties, and especially the space treaties in effect, a kinetic bombardment follows all the guidelines and is completely allowed, while still potentially having the effects of a nuclear yield, especially pertaining to bunker busting.

I was just thinking about a Sinatra clone that works in Crystal, and it turns out that there is one: https://github.com/kemalcr/kemal

Note that it's not recommended to use journalled filesystems on file-backed loopback devices: http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES.README

This approach is not a useful path to lower overall disk usage IMO because you need to thick provision the directory up front, with an estimate of overall compressed disk usage. That's a recipe for usability pain. Thin provisioning with sparse files won't work well with a COW tree structured backing store like btrfs either.
Well, seeing as the nomenclature is not the parent commenter's but Bezos's and seeing as how it's literally explained in the third paragraph of the link said commenter gave, I think there's little to explain.

> The Ubuntu 16.04 Canonical provided AMIs on AWS don't even include Python 2, [...] there is literally no python27 without installing it via apt.

Guess what? Freshly debootstrapped Debian doesn't have Python installed at
all, too. And guess why? Because all the essential tooling in Debian is
compiled. But then there is optional tooling, and Python 3 is yet to be used
there.

But we were not talking about what interpreters are in a default installation.
We were talking about Python 3 being the default Python.

> And yes, since 6 is still not EOL the fact that they are still on 2.6 by default is something I can hold against them.

No, you cannot. The primary thing RHEL provides is stability.

> Lack of support in logging for logging over TCP.

(1) Not like you cannot add it trivially. (2) It's not a good idea to work in
Python's logging with unreliable things like network. You should always
isolate Python logging from those things by using spooler. BTDTGTS.

> The lack of dictionary comprehensions (and I guess set comprehensions too, but I don't really use sets too frequently).

Of course, because those are essential part that cannot be trivially emulated
by dict() constructor.

From all you said, only I/O performance, context managers, and lack of
argparse are somewhat sensible arguments. They sum up to too little for me to
consider them a significant difference in how it feels to write code (not to
mention that optparse is adequate and I don't see argparse as much of
a progress), but then I normally use half a dozen of other languages and
runtimes, so I have a different perspective.
The cognitive overhead is not my objection (and I agree it wouldn't be much). The problem is that most people's personal email isn't primarily about correspondence anymore; it's about interacting with the various services where you have accounts or subscriptions. So your special password-reset email is also the place where you receive your social media notifications (because your social media account doesn't let you set a separate email for notifications and password resets). So now your password-reset email account is just as vulnerable to phishing because it's _not_ just your password-reset email, and there's no way to make it so.

>That requires finding someone of vaguely comparable social background and education level.

Westerners are always shocked that even educated people get arranged marriages in India. This is precisely why it works, all the groundwork is done for you. You are raised with similar memes, your arranged partner has been programmed into similar groves as you. Top that with a conformist culture where people try to fit than stand out, chances of finding something truly surprising about your partner are super rare. No amount of dating, living together can match this.

I used to find arranged marriages disgusting and backwards but now I have come full circle having looked at many of my close friends with successful marriages ( there is also aspect of higher social stigma of divorce, but thats another topic).
Only people that buy the plot after someone else moves out build a new house. It generally retains the exact same house for the durations of someone's life there.
I agree with pain-points that you described.

Each OS has it's set of weird, broken and surprising behavior. Most of it in the name of backwards compatibility. There is a group of people that see one mess bearable while the all others totally brain-dead. There are other groups that have somewhat different opinion.

Everything sucks. Which one sucks less? I pick the one that I know more about.
I think that's just a side effect of the compressed scales used by the animation. If they didn't do that then you would not be able to see the wave effect as clearly.

I have a similar setup, Rpi3 with OSMC / Kodi installed.

I turned an old 500GB laptop drive into an external HD for storage, with reuse of parts I'd say the whole thing cost me €50/€60 - for the Rpi3, Case, PSU (though most micro USB phone chargers will work so don't buy one unless you need one), Micro SDHC card, and SATA to USB cable for the hard drive (I milled out an old Gameboy and stuck it in there for a retro look)

Advantages: Cheap, no remote required (TV remote can control it through HDMI, or you can use an app), low power, handles 1080p content just fine

Disadvantages: There's currently no way (that I know of) to get Netflix working on Rpi3 hardware. Netflix has no native linux app, and the only browsers it works through are Chrome and Firefox, which are not available on Raspbian or any other Rpi distro. (I would love to be wrong about this. If its possible, somebody please educate me)

> when gas is not available option, coal can be gasified

That's an interesting point, does someone have the calculation on what the net benefits of this process are?
Sure, their marketing copy says it's intended for storage, but that's not how it's actually used in the wild. In reality, it's primarily used for interactive/real-time streaming and not used for storage. I think it just boils down to the idea that the storage formats we're using are more than sufficient, and Opus doesn't really bring much new to the table there. It does, however, perform remarkably better than most/all of the alternatives when dealing with (e.g.) VoIP, so it's no surprise it's been adopted there.

That's another big plus of machine learning algorithms. You don't know how they work ! You don't need to !

Simple, yes. The beauty of APIs in the Ruby world really opened my eyes. But performant is never really was. For instance: at the time of Sinatra's first release Wicket (Java) already existed and was much more performant.

What you are describing is just one aspect of programming with HDL that sounds similar to what one would do with a schematic editor. Fortunately, with HDL you can work at either a primitive level, or a more abstract behavioral level or anywhere in between. What if someone wants to design a library without knowing the specific device that will be targeted? You could use behavioral algorithmic style code using parameterized functions and lots of generate statements that could support multiple architectures. In that case there would be a lot of 'code' that does not have anything to do with the actual circuit but is still perfectly valid HDL. It is the software-like functionality of HDL that made schematic editors obsolete in my opinion.
Using an 8051-based trainer like this is definitely a retro choice even just in terms of 8-bit solutions. For example, Atmel has had AVRs that are pin-compatible with their 8051 line ever since they introduced the AVR and it's just so much nicer in terms of instruction set, peripherals, etc. Normally you'd use an external programmer and development toolchain these days too.
Raspberry PI 3 plus LibreElec.
Cheap, consumes a lot less than a PC and plays everything I can throw at it.
I would definitely use different boards for non video related tasks, but in this context the RPi still is the one to go for non trivial reasons such as full CEC support and video acceleration.

> No, because it's just a silly romantic fantasy, that's all.

It's actually more than that.

Failed marriages are more likely to lead to negative outcomes in life, with single-parent households more likely to be in poverty, children more likely to abused by non-biological step-parents or partners, and children of failed marriages also more likely to get involved in criminal behaviour (both as a juvenile and an adult).

Which is not to say that all failed marriages lead to those problems, or that stable marriages don't, just that there is a greater likelihood of it happening, and when applied to society as a whole the effect is noticeable, and therefore there is a benefit to society in promoting stable, healthy, long-term relationships.

He's referring to earlier comments in the same letter where he talks about answering a question from someone about what Day 2 at Amazon looks like. At Amazon, one of the company mantras is "It's still Day 1." That's a reference to his 1997 letter to the shareholders[0] in which he said:

"Amazon.com passed many milestones in 1997: by year-end, we had served more than 1.5 million customers, yielding 838% revenue growth to $147.8 million, and extended our market leadership despite aggressive competitive entry.

But this is Day 1 for the Internet and, if we execute well, for Amazon.com."

Bezos has attached the 1997 letter to every letter to the shareholders he has written since. There is even a building in Seattle named Day 1[1].

My favourite story about pirates is what happened when they captured Julius Caesar:

"Not everyone, though, should take the Julius Caesar approach to kidnapping. As a young man, reports Plutarch in his biography of the great man, he was kidnapped off the Dodecanese islands en route to learn rhetoric under the famous teacher, Molon of Rhodes. The Cicilian pirates (from the area of modern Anatolia north and north-east of Cyprus) he treated high-handedly. They asked for a ransom of 20 talents – he laughed at them for undervaluing him and offered them 50. While he was kept captive he treated them like bodyguards rather than prison guards, and frequently told them he would crucify them after his ransom was paid. (Better than that, "He also wrote poems and sundry speeches which he read aloud to them, and those who did not admire these he would call to their faces illiterate Barbarians.") In due course the ransom was paid, Caesar was set free – and, as promised, he crucified them to a man."

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/charlottehigginsblog/200...
In a nutshell, it's Bezos' metaphor for a company that is losing the behaviours it exhibited on 'day 1', such as innovation, pragmatism and risk-taking, which made it successful, drove massive growth, and got it to 'day 2' in the first place.

JWT is extremely useful when you want a one-time use token to pass a claim to another system. For example, employee portal generates a link for a user to check their available leaves in the HR system. Since the user is logged in to the employee portal, they shouldn't have to login to the HR system. JWT is great for this use case. But for general sessions management, there are better solutions.
I've had a variety of XBMC, Plex, Windows Media Center (hacked to run on Windows 10 and with a variety of mods), various multichannel TV tuners, cable card readers, DLNA devices, dinovo mini keyboards, reprogrammable remotes, etc.

I currently use an Amazon Fire TV, as fighting an endless war with content creators to steal their content is a waste of my time (I also really like the voice search on the Fire devices).

I pay for films, and most TV, but steal Game of Thrones since, bizarrely, it's not available in full HD via Sky's app. In that case, I play it via DLNA.

It was started as a pet project with no plans regarding its future. As it turned out, recent hype around AI, personal assistants, privacy and wearables created some interest around such type of projects. It is definitely going to be OSS, if we decide to publish it.

I don't agree with him though, unless the standard requires to implement all of the available algorithms, one may choose to implement only those that he/she deems safe/worth.
I forget the author but there was a pretty cool sci-fi story that had legislation to "solve" this. Every 100 years, an individual "died" and was "reborn" legally.

Hard to argue with that. Why is it when you google "Build cross platform desktop apps" there are no hits for Java in the first five pages? It's Electron on every page, with a few passing mentions of Qt. Even Haxe gets a look in, but no Java (as far as I can see)
