Thanks in advance.
Reverse engineering the format is necessary to make an open source toolchain, so I disagree. But you are right that an open source toolchain probably won't handle the primitives very well, so we're stuck with the vendor-specific tools, at least for now.
Maybe the industry should listen to their kicking and screaming.

So the engineering problem could be solved with a micro-controller and some binary communication protocol - yet now you're solving the same problem, but need a system-on-a-chip, so you can run a linux distro, so you can run a web-server, so you can serve JSON. Because... why?

I don't think that's the spirit of the linked paper either. Yes, we should find standardized, secure update mechanisms. But why do we have to bring the web stack into this again, even though nothing of this has anything to do with the web?

Generally, I don't see how adding more layers and moving parts increases security.
Thanks for the insights. Ironically, we've been looking at accepting SEPA for European customers primarily because card payments haven't been great for us in terms of reliability. We've never had a problem with UK customers paying by their version of Direct Debit, where there is also an automatic right to reverse a payment, and certainly not with banks reversing charges without customer intervention, so it's good to know this is something we'd need to watch out for with SEPA.
A lot of the issues were kind of "external" and while worth thinking about for every deployment, not really something the k8s project can do much about other than warn in the documentation.

This sounds like extremely weak evidence that NPR is getting paid by Microsoft. Maybe they're just saying "via Skype" because the call is, in fact, via Skype, or to explain the poor sound quality?

It's worth remembering that MK Ultra was officially running until 1973 and broke exactly the same rules as the Tuskegee trials.

On Android (recent versions anyway) GPS only turns on when an application requests it. I get a notification when GPS is activated, and it's quite rare. Basically only when I open my bus app, or open Google Maps. So there's no real battery usage there.

'Exchange of virtual photons' is a metaphorical expression used to describe artifacts of perturbation theory, it is not necessarily a real process. There is no widely accepted model of what really happens on microscopic scales, we only have equations and those are often replaced by simpler perturbation scheme. So, explanations of attractive force are welcome, Le Sage - type models including.
I am not saying people are not buying cars but the 180% or 150% or even 100% tax is not justified. From what I read it is now down to 85% tax which is much better. Dont know about UK my baseline for comparison is Germany (I lived there for 4 years) and I would move back to Germany any day if I can find the same job there. Cost of living, social welfare everything is a good balance between socialism and capitalism there.
The radical idea of a world without jobs
But this is the problem of exponential growth - you can sustain it without even noticing the detrimental effects, until suddenly you can't.

The resource usage of all the doubling time periods until the last one would have used up only 50% of the resources available(this could be millions of years, depending on the exponent), and then suddenly the last one would use up all the resources left.

This is repeatedly exemplified in Professor Allen Bartlett's talk "Arithmetic, Population and Energy"(video link at specific point: https://youtu.be/sI1C9DyIi_8?t=1337 transcript: http://www.albartlett.org/presentations/arithmetic_populatio...)

That's true, vivado generates a ton of intermediate files and binary blobs which make source control a frustrating. Another reason to have a nice clean toolchain

My ex-mother-in-law faced this exact problem. Really oppressive working conditions in a department of New York State government. When she was falsely brought up on shoddy work quality, which was really her bosses' inadequacies, the union wanted to have nothing to do with her and give her a minimal level of support. Greatly re-enforced the uselessness of unions. But they sure are happy to take employees money on a regular basis.

Sure, I didn't mean to imply that. I just meant that whatever long term damages are done need to be put on a timescale that actually helps us compare alternatives.

If hundreds of billions of lives are saved in the time it takes for nuclear to do real damage, maybe that's just worth it.
I think you really hit on something here. Anytime I'm working on a hobby of mine, I like to actively get into the weeds (figuratively, occasionally literally). It's in exploring and learning about the depth of the unknown that I find the most enjoyment.

I learned to love talking to strangers when I realized the richness and variety of human experience is so vast that no one person can feel or experience everything another person can in their lifetime. In retrospect, it's amazing I had to realize this at all, but we all start out self-absorbed.
> The fact that digital logic design is constrained to one of two ancient languages by the proprietary toolsets is a serious problem.

Not really. You can compile any high-level language to a netlist and use that as input for place&route. Even if the proprietary toolchain didn't support EDIF netlists, you could still compile to a purely structural VHDL/Verilog file with the instantiated FPGA logic primitives (LUTs, nets, etc.), which is basically

The main (but not the only) reason why VHDL and Verilog have not been replaced yet, is that nearly all supposedly "better" alternatives fail to address the actual pain points in FPGA design. The most likely cause for this is that the overlap between professional FPGA designers and people capable and willing of designing and implementing a language is very, very small. The result is that you get a lot of languages designed by people who have never programmed larger FPGAs in a professional setting and consequently don't have a good understanding of the problems involved.
The web (by that I mean most browsers and most web pages) is designed for hi-end devices. Text-based browsing also ought to be possible, but often doesn't work well in practice because it's not a common use case, and so it's not something that developers consider in the design process.

Something I’ve learned recently is that Target price matches amazon (and a number of other sites). It’s basically turned Target into a same day pickup Amazon warehouse for me. Yes, I’ve got to get to Target; but sometimes I want something the same day anyway, and even more crucial, I have a lot more confidence stuff isn’t counterfeit.

In what order should the extra information pages be read in relation to the tutorial parts?
Super interesting!

I feel like most programmers have it easy. For the most part the first step of a program is "take the universe and project it to some fixed structure". The entire universe of complexity gone.

The box has to be the right shape, but even if it's not things can mostly work.

You forget to account for wind and suddenly your New York skyscraper is falling over. Forget a field in your database and you just have a slightly busted thing.
It seems every few years someone does this publicly, and then either gets DMCA'd or forgotten. Nonetheless, the extremely regular structure of FPGAs, along with the availability of official documentation (which basically explains everything but stops short of mentioning which bits control what) mean that it's not all that difficult of a problem to "connect the dots".

As I've mentioned before, the bitstream formats are one of the worst-kept secrets in the industry. The only reason they aren't revealed more often is for legal, not technical reasons. I'd almost bet that a considerable number of those who work with FPGAs have figured out at least part of the structure and kept it to themselves.

I agree, the single, superfast CPU model is outdated. It's a shame that multiprocessor programming is hard (or is it? It might also just be a vicious circle: 'not many people do MPP because the facilities suck because not many people do MPP').
SystemC and every other high level synthesis language, has to be translated to VHDL/verilog first. That's a big difference with software land.

HDLs are not bad, but not having the option to explore better options is bad
Having never done any carpentry nor googled the answer, the first thing that's coming to mind is to place the board at the angle you want, then use a straight edge (like a level) extended out from the floor of the upper story to trace a line on the board. Cut the board, then flip it over so that cut side is on the bottom, and then repeat the process to cut the top.

Edit: I guess my first line will read as a disclaimer if I'm wrong (aka missing an important detail!) or a brag if I'm right; it's intended as the former!

To add why an open-source toolchain would be useful:

It lowers the barrier to entry for FPGA development significantly. The Papilio project, for example, tries to build an "Arduino for FPGA" and runs into the problem that a full ISE or Vivado installation and corresponding license is needed. This aggravates the primary problem that the Arduino has solved for microcontrollers, easy entry.

Also: Incremental builds, partial reconfiguration, porting to macOS. I'm not sure which of these Vivado has solved. With an open-source toolchain, those interested in these features at least have a chance of building them themselves.

Well. People still don't know, but now they have enough information to seem as-if they do.

Understanding is not a matter of a google. It's a decade of relevant experience.

You might beat the PhD to the factoid phrase, but when you come to employ the fact in the relevant problem you won't even know where to begin or even what it really meant.

People aren't exercising their ability to distinguish parroting from understanding, as-if intellectual work is just different forms of trivial pursuit.

Chernobyl still is a massive cost factor for plenty of countries ( all that are helping out financially with building the new mantle ).

Also look at the large effects of Fukushima.

Every time nuclear power comes up here on HN, there are some fierce defenders.

No matter how 'safe' newer generation plants are and how much it was the oprators fault, the potential for disaster is there. And that's not even mentioning the high lifetime cost when you consider safely storing the material, which often falls to the public.

I skimmed both of those and I don't see how you're getting the claim that 100 miles out an airliner is going to be at FL50-60.

The noise estimations in your first link show the estimated noise in Ens which is 18 miles out and directly below the approach path at 40 dB, and for a more pathological case in Wezep 20 miles out at 45 dB. For reference that's somewhere between "noise at the library" and "quiet suburb"[1].

If you search for "Projectie Route" you can see graphs showing that the estimated approach and departure paths, planes coming in for landing are at FL60 5-10 miles out, planes departing are climbing past FL30 10 miles out.

I'm not dismissing the fact that some people in close by bedroom communities are going to be hearing airplanes regularly, but this claim that it's going to be an issue for anyone even 20 miles out is nonsense, let alone 100 miles out.

Ghent in Belgium is around 100 miles from Amsterdam, planes just crossing the Dutch-Belgian border aren't at FL50 as if they were on their final approach to Schiphol.

I buy plenty of content from Amazon (video, kindle, audible) but I'm increasingly reluctant to use Amazon for physical products - I rarely buy paper books and when I do its usually from an actual bookshop (maybe 4 physical books last year compared to about 30 from audible and maybe 20 on kindle). I certainly wouldn't use them for anything over £50 or so - I'd go straight to a dedicated retailer that I have more confidence in.

>super dense cities like Tokyo or New York can feel suffocating

I guess to some people but I love NYC and find strolling in central park very unsuffocating. The main problem with NYC is most people do like it and would quite like to move there so the prices are bid stupidly high. Property prices being high because people want to move to a place are generally a sign of successful design.

I didn't think Tokyo felt that dense when I was there but very big to get around - over 100km long and taxis costing something like the price of international flight within europe.

Beyond even that you could imagine erlang-model hardware, with lots of independent µCPU with their own completely private memory communicating via message-passing (CM-style? I don't really know what programming model the Connection Machine used).
Not sure why this is being downvoted. I'm afraid you're right that many commercial, closed-source CPU's are faster, but (depending on your application) it's not that bad. CPU's in smartphones are ridiculously overpowered for 95% of the uses cases anyway. Anyway, it's the best 'open' (then documentation is openly available; the CPU is not open source!) processor available, AFAIK.
The problem with the idea of cheap screening tools is Bayes' theorem. If doctors go ordering this for most people since it's just a blood test, and if only 1% of people ever really have cancer when tested then the 1% false positive rate means there's only a 50/50 chance you have cancer given the test is positive.
Not sure how much you have looked into it, but the tcl scripts can be quite handy for some things. You can also drive quite a few things from the command line. So depending on what your doing you could just have some text files instead of a whole project being pushed to a git repository.

Do you have any good source of what these problems are? The reason I am asking is because I too am designing my home-grown HDL at the moment because I grew tired of both Verilog and VHDL. Since I never programmed FPGAs professionally -- the whole thing is a pet project only -- I'm likely to repeat those mistakes because I don't even know about them.

Note that I don't expect problems in the basics of language design and building tools, but rather specific mistakes in the context of FPGAs.

I’ve thought in concrete terms about porting postcss to Rust before. It’s the sort of tool that is stuck with slow while it’s in JavaScript, but could be amazingly fast in Rust, for which it’s a really good match (especially algebraic data types). (Seriously, the sort of thing that typically takes a second or so in JavaScript with things like postcss I would expect to take under five milliseconds in well-written Rust, and under a hundred in badly-written Rust.)

The real problem with all these sorts of things is network effects. People aren’t going to use the Rust port of postcss unless the plugin they want to use works in it, and it can be conveniently tied into their existing toolchain, and—— and——

This is why we can’t have fast, efficient things.

I’m really looking forward to getting something of the pthread style in WebAssembly, because then, finally, blending the two should be easily feasible. You can already use things like Neon (https://www.neon-bindings.com) to write Node modules in Rust, but it’s not as easy as it should eventually be a few years down the track.
UserAgent detection is in the "old" groups, is specific to having your userAgent be "HeadlessChrome", and is no longer recommended. The new triggers are 'navigator.webdriver', or a chrome extension specific object, or specific permissions being set, none of which are relevant to or impacted by any the scenarios you are highlighting...

Of course the JS itself can fail due to incongruent browser behaviour... but why would you trigger a bot obfuscation routine based on a failed JS call?

That is the gross incompetence I was referring to, and it's hard to call basic errors a lack of basic testing anything but.

Downvotes aside, the kinds of f-ups you're speculating about here are at the level of knowing how true/false works in JS.

And, no, there really are not valid reasons for users to be adding specific properties on their navigation objects to flag for headless, or use specific extension objects that report the use of headless automation, if they aren't. There is no valid reason you should set your Edge userAgent to "HeadlessChrome", either.
