The Yocto Project is a popular build system for your own embedded Linux distribution.

Mender integrates with the Yocto Project with a layer (https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender), but is a separate project for end-to-end OTA, which includes the client and the management server. Both are licensed under Apache 2.0 thus it is freely available and you're not locked into a hosted-only backend.

Although this is an older blog post, here is how you can port the Mender client to a non-Yocto build system: https://mender.io/blog/porting-mender-to-a-non-yocto-build-s...

Terms of service. It is not considered a contract if you are just an anonymous user, but once you take an affirmative action like creating an account you're explicitly agreeing to that and they are legally binding. The parent comment did not specify anonymous and plenty of bots create accounts to scrape with.

But even aside from the explicit contractual terms, even without one, you cannot just run around acting in bad faith, right? If you put up a site called AccuratePrices.com and then for some users you knowingly and intentionally provide false information, isn't that something like fraud?
Unless you have a TPM or something you just don't; this is an unsolvable problem in general.

Launch HN: Enzyme (YC S17) – Automating FDA Compliance and Approval
Hey HN! I’m Jared, the cofounder & CEO of Enzyme (https://www.enzyme.com).

We’re building software that helps life science companies with FDA approval and compliance. Think of something like TurboTax but for companies that are regulated by FDA. Our product reduces both the time and cost of taking a drug or medical device to market.

People often talk about how software is eating the world, but that process has taken longer for heavily regulated industries in part because of their complexity. However, there are now subject matter experts who grew up using and writing software and who have also spent enough time in their industries to be able to write useful software for them. This problem is very personal for my cofounder and me. We’ve both spent 11 years in the med device/biopharma industry and have personally felt the pain of how inefficient this is, having seen products we put our heart and soul into take months (sometimes years) longer than they should to reach patients and change lives.

We’re taking a labor-intensive, paper-based business process and replacing it with software that allows existing teams to perform much of the needed compliance work themselves, reducing the need to engage consultants or full-time compliance officers. Staying compliant is unfortunately very costly: small companies spend $100K+/yr on consulting fees, while larger companies spend $100M+/yr on FTEs and $10M+/yr on software packages that perform only a small part of the compliance workflow!

We’re focused on medical device/diagnostic/digital health companies for now, so if you’re a founder in this space we’d love to talk.

We can answer questions about regulatory/compliance strategy -- in the US, EU, and other geographies -- along with other aspects of medical product development (such as design controls, verification & validation strategies, risk management, user experience, etc).

Good point. I suspect Trump doesn't care about most issues, so GOP and administration gets free reign on those. I suspect that's part of why he hasn't been impeached and part of the benefits package of working for the administration.

why dropping Linux support ?

From what I gather it uses some of thunderbird and firefox code but is heavily modified and is proprietary software.

Too bad they decided to drop linux support, it renders it useless to me.
Or you could just rewrite the JS that does the checksumming to return true.
Chrome doesn't autoplay videos in background tabs until you focus them.
Postbox is commercial, proprietary and has no linux support. Not exactly a fork of Thunderbird.
Yeah, it's super half baked. I can tell you that as the developer. I plan to focus on collaboration in the successor to this project, Mopaint: https://github.com/1j01/mopaint

(Rather than adding it after the fact.)
This is a great list of points, and amusingly it looks a lot like our issue tracker for Cronitor.io in 2015-16.

I think it’s worth pointing out that these things are not trivial to build and maintain. Even those items on our roadmap already are unlikely to be pritorized over product improvements unless we have a customer specifically request it. Hour for hour I think I can add more value improving product and adding features compared to, for example, billing workflow improvements.

Also amusingly, liip.ch has a free Cronitor account and emailed support asking that we add an integration similar to our PagerDuty integration. Our reply was basically what I’m saying here: we would be happy to build this during your free trial if you’re willing to take that step and put in your billing details. Absent of objective ways to weigh one feature against another, “is somebody willing to pay for this” is usually enough to win the argument.
Too bad nobody I their right mind would borrow or lend such an obscenely volatile and deflationary instrument (unless they were going to scam it somehow).
If you're going to solve the problem of shell scripting, one particular itch that I have is that shell scripts, or at least the sufficiently complex ones, are often strongly dependent on availability of local executables, sometimes even specific implementations or versions.

I had a shell script on my desktop that would automagically extract any archive I threw at it. Nice. So when I was working on android through a shell, I wanted the same convenience and so I scp'd the script onto my phone. It wouldn't run. Only worked with GNU tar, as opposed to any other tar, like bsd tar or busybox's.

Having a language that provides system-independent abstractions of ls, tar, top, or the other way, that clearly indicates upon which binaries it depends, would greatly improve script usability.

It'd be nice if running an oil script would automatically warn me that I need GNU tar >= version x.xx.
The European mindset to everything seems to be regulate, regulate and regulate some more.
>the cities have very different and not particularly compatible personalities

That was my read of the GP post as well, but it strikes me as odd. I have lived in both cities, and while I agree they have differences, I don't see that being fatal flaw to a business having a headquarters in each?

One could make same "different personality from Seattle" point for about half of the cities on the list. Consequently my interpretation is that it is one of the factors they are looking for, not one they are avoiding.
and even word/excel has discrepancies between 2003, 2011, 2013 and 2016 especially between 2011 and 2013.

> undisputed center of the world, populated by the best, smartest, and most sophisticated people.

Funny thats pretty much what the average Joe thinks about the US.

I don't know how you ended up with that twisted opinion, but after working in software development in Beijing for almost two years I can't share these views at all. I perceived my colleagues as pragmatic, forward-looking, interested in politics regarding China and the world, with critical opinions on each of them. I rarely had so many insightful discussions about various political and social aspects as when I stayed there.
This of course will get little traction on a site where all of the 'thought leaders' are employed or bribed by the same intelligence agencies these people have a problem with.

Oh wow this is shocking, I grew up less than 10 minutes from this airport and had no idea the CIA was using it.
It’s going to get worse before it gets better (if)!

Your description point to infrastructure decay.
Just to make sure it's clear that this is not a universal opinion:

I am a non-Amazon Seattle resident, and I'm thrilled with what the economic growth has done to the area. Some examples:

- Converted an un-safe warehouse district into prime, central real estate and a thriving neighborhood (South Lake Union)

- Grown a progressive, thriving economy that has in turn supported development of mass transit (ST2, ST3 - citywide light rail)

- Pushed the median household income up 13% over the last decade

Seattle ain't perfect, but there is no question in my mind that we'd be worse off without the thriving local tech economy.
I looked at the document and it immediately reminded me of the kind of person who at meetings brings up tons of questions that may or may not be relevant to the actual task. There is a recurring thread of problems in CS being really simple but then needlessly complicated by well-intentioned nerds unable to see the forst for the trees. I say FUD because I see helpful blog posts promoting new tools and software when they should be promoting techniques.

Seriously those stack diagrams are massively overkill designs for OTA update infra.

As for your specific points, I left out a LOT of detail.

- You should think about the fact that this means your root partition changes

Yes, or no, depending on your bootloader. GRUB and others can chainload to other partitions after control is given. Of course you'll need to think about how to re-provision user-specific data, though the first idea that pops in my mind would be to simply read it from the old install on first boot. (IRL we are solving this with a first-boot 'activation' app, which re-downloads user data on completion)

- You do want a management server, as this document suggests...

yes, but this is way easier than needing to learn and roll out someone else's complicated piece of tech. An API server that can receive updates from the field and download scripts/run the commands to start the process.

Also, if you've been supporting this kind of product for a while you probably already have your own infra.

- You want some mechanism for detecting if the new version doesn't work and rolling back;

of course. Though, if your hardware is uniform you can get away with a lot less of this than one might think, due to the updates being image-based and not package-based. Easiest way is to simply compute a SHA-hash on the download to make sure it wasn't corrupted (make sure the value you compare it with came from a trusted conversation with your server). If it fails to boot the newly provisioned code needs to know to re-point the bootloader at the previous install, though again with uniform hardware your main concerns are transport-related.

- The updates should be signed etc. as described in the document.

Fairly trivial with pgp et al.
> Frankly if I was in their shoes I would go with Toronto also to have some sort of hedging against the US political climate.

Meh. However you feel about Trump, confidence in the US economy among businesses has been really high since his election, and even higher after the tax bill got passed. Look at what’s happening with Apple and the hundreds of other companies giving out bonuses and increasing spending in the US. Your comment might have made more sense closer to the election when everyone was making those gloom and doom predictions and nobody was sure what might really happen, but I think right now the US is more attractive to businesses than it’s probably been in a very long time.

> if you're executed for possessing drugs, or indefinitely detained without charge, need a permit to assemble, can't criticize the government, etc.

Erm, all those things(+) can, and do, happen in 'free' countries. They're just not officially sanctioned and are reported differently. If you were to look at this objectively (without depending on just the official figures) I'd say per capita, human rights abuse / exploitation is worse in the US than Singapore.

I originally intended to use IRF640 as an example, as for HexFET it is painfully obvious that there are separate parallel connected transistors.

For typical BJTs it depends on how you define "separate transistor". The structure in typical BJT has one contiguos junction, but its geometry is non-trivial enough that you can well think of it as multiple paralleled transistors.
Is having high taxes an inherently good thing we want to create incentives to encourage? In private industry, governments try to break up cartels because they're thought to be bad for consumers (residents of the cities in this case).

The boundaries are fluent (FPGAs).
That's real optimistic of the Guardian but somehow I doubt there's all that much grass roots support against rendition flights. We live in an age where "Muslim ban" sounds like appropriate policy to about half the population.

In Democracy the people get the government they deserve. Guess we really don't deserve human rights and habeus corpus.
It's worth noting that FUZE BASIC is a commercial fork of Gordon Henderson's RTB: https://projects.drogon.net/rtb/

If you want to hack on the code, there's a mirror for the original RTB source here: https://github.com/scruss/rtb

It diverged from FUZE back in 2013, though, so it will be quite different but may be fun for anyone who's more interested in the guts of the interpreter than the language itself.
Sorry you need cash at the pump.

Never, ever seen that anywhere in CA/OR/NV/ID. Arco doesn't accept credit cards as policy, but they do accept debit cards.

The scariest thing about pay-at-the-pump is that card skimmers are too common.

How is an attendant going to "get cash", and from what? Do you mean get change for coin-op self-wash?

Oh, and that building has moldy walls made out of paper.

That's addressed by the article. What about a management server, power/network loss, atomic updates, validation, etc? If you try to write custom installation scripts to do all that it's going to be a lot of work.

You're completely right there's a positive emotional response to this - just like the click when you pressed the cartridge, the same reason Nintendo brought the click sound to the Switch controls - the sound means "it's fun time!".

This is about telling stories with your kids - it's a canvas in your living room for everyone to see, give ideas and encourage - all packed in a box you have positive emotions towards.

It's not "any device" that can connect to the TV - it's your Switch, and you can make games on it now!

Minor nit-pick, I didn't say it was a signal of intellectual weakness (clearly it's the opposite), but instead that it is best used to "trick" the person you're speaking to into thinking you're at their level.

Obama spoke like a college professor because he knew his audience would respect that kind of person.

Trump speaks like a "straight talker" because he knows his audience respects that kind of person.

The value systems of the people running this must be severely distorted. Can't torture at home so let's fly people to some dictatorship to get it done there.

> The refrain of how a startup CEO is going to save humanity is so common that it’s actually uncommon for a CEO to not use saviour language when describing their startup. Cult leaders do the same thing: they create a unique philosophy, imbued with some sort of special message that they alone can see or hear, convince people that only they have the answers for what ails humanity, and use that influence to control the people around them.

I agree. I've been working in Silicon Valley for a few years now, and it honestly feels like a page out of Animal Farm. The Orwellian mismatch between rhetoric and action feels like cult-like propaganda to me.

I don't know how veterans of the Valley can keep this up.

Like any domain-specific algorithms PNG uses deflate as a final step after using image-specific filters which take advantage of typical 2D features. So in general png will do much better than gzip on image data, but it will generally always do at least as well (perhaps I should have said that originally). In particular, the worse case .png compression (e.g., if you pass it random data, or text or something) is to use the "no op" filter followed by the usual deflate compression, which will end up right around plain gzip.

Now at least as good is enough for my point: by compressing a .png file with gzip you aren't going to see additional compression in general. When compressing a base-64 or hex encoding .png file, the additional compression you see is largely only a result of removing the redundancy of the encoding, not any compression of the underlying image.
Yes, but the real win is in a different way than I think you're describing. With Docker, containers are built in a layered fashion with each 'step' of the build creating a new layer (think version control hashes). The benefit here is twofold:

First - If your change to the container is near the end of the build process (see earlier comment about smart container design), then the rebuild will only change the final few hashes and Docker is smart enough to not rebuild earlier hashes.

Second - Hashes are global, so if you have multiple containers that start with the same base (say, Alpine Linux + Python + NMP + etc.), Docker will share existing hashed layers. This means a much smaller distribution payload.

To (what I think is) your original question - you can tag the 'final' container itself. Tagging it with the Git hash is one way to get exactly what you're talking about.
