Check out Noodle Pi – http://noodlepi.com

It’s the world’s smallest and lightest handheld computer. And unlike most of these devices with tiny built-in keyboards, it features a modular docking system so you can dock it with a range of different keyboards, from a tiny thumb keyboard to a full-sized one, or a gamepad.

Noodle Pi can be assembled, disassembled, repaired and upgraded by users, with no soldering or tools required. Being powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero, it also runs entirely off a MicroSD card, which greatly facilitates physical security for your system. You can just remove the MicroSD card and keep it physically secure, rather than having to secure the whole device.

There are also a number of wearable configurations possible with Noodle Pi, including a wrist dock that enables wearing it as a wrist-watch, a belt holster, and a clip holster. Lanyard holes in all the docks facilitate even more wearable configurations.

In Haskell you'd use Fixed (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.10.1.0/docs/Data-...) with your desired precision (E2 for most currencies). It's in base, so no third-party libraries are required.
Rome may be a bit of a bad example, as although it’s the capital of Italy, it isn’t that wealthy a city. However even on trips to other parts of the country (I was there for over a year) it appeared to be the same situation.

There’s definitely an advantage to having a small car in Italy (I had a Prius and it felt too big), but most people had cars that would even feel old here (where most people have 2nd or 3rd hand cars).
I looked into it more and it looks kinda slick, but is there anything really describing how it works? Everything I read on their website seems kinda hand wavey to me.
> The German public and car industry is fighting tooth and nail against any change in drivetrain technology.

This is not true. The German car industry is heavily investing in electric cars.

California has some great schools, but in those districts you’ll pay a huge premium. For example Sunnyvale homes are 1mil more than East Palo Alto homes.

So you either end up paying for private school. Or pay the same amount more for a more expensive home.
yep, just as easy
general access and control?
Why doesn't Austria have jurisdiction for German content, do they not speak German in Austria? Do UK courts have jurisdiction over companies which produce content in English? It's absurd to think that an element to establishing jurisdiction is the language content is produced in.
What’s the point of the Augmented Reality?
Ha came here to see if anyone else'd posted this. I really like what an Accord looks like, also because my parents had one in my childhood, but making it high like this one just makes it look weird and ugly to me.
I pre-ordered the Pyra and have been following its development ever since. IMO, many companies could learn a lot from them. Despite being such a small team they give out regular updates and are completely transparent. I think as long as you're honest about what's going on people are very understanding about delays and many other issues.

For an example of a massive hardware screw-up, take a look at the Jolla tablet. They barely gave any updates, always pretending everything was great, and suddenly they're out of money and cancelling the whole thing. Springing that up out of nowhere completely killed my trust with them.
The Pandora "simple mode" is pretty nice .. I haven't seen any problems with usability in this mode. There's even a very nice interface for access to the community repo that is actually easier to use than the App Store on iOS!

So I think you should probably update your experience.
Not in any way affiliated with Elastic but XPack is now included in Elastic by default, so there's that -- of course it does say something that they included it in their enterprise offering first.

Same here on the open-source-first mentality. I also managed to get the EFK stack working so now I don't feel bad actually choosing Graylog in the long run.
Another Pandora fan here - I think this is really the unsung hero of the Linux handheld world. Such a great community!
I think the problem is democracy just doesn't scale very well because it requires empathy and altruism and that operates at the scale of human experience. You need some kind of commonality or shared experience to keep people together. In the 50s-80s you had the experience of the wars and cold war to keep people active. Since then, there hasn't been too much of that save maybe terror attacks.

For the US specifically, I think we should be going back to letting states take the lead on social issues like wellfare, gay marriage, abortion, drug decriminalization/legalization, gun control and whatnot instead of trying to do everything at the federal level - especially via ever more contorted constitutional interpretation.

The benefits from this kind of approach would be the ability to do quicker, more focused policy iterations with less controversy at the state level for the willing states before getting locked in federally and difficult to change as opposed to the opaque backroom deals and guessing games of today.
Embedded sw automotive engineer here.
The article suggest that the german industry may not cope with more computer centric vehicles. I think thats just laughable, it is them who introduced computer controlled engine (motronic) or invented ABS and ESP which are computer controlled brakes. Don't underestimate them in this field just because they are not using Python to develop their car. Their suppliers are leading the automotive industry, providing the best electronic and SW money can buy in a lot of car components.

Ok they arrogantly ignored the hybrid and EVs and focused only on ICE, but I believe they will quickly catch up, just look at the bmw i3 for example.

It is however true that the end of ICE will be a huge blow to their industry, with millions of people poised to lose their jobs. But that is the same for every country having a lot of carmakers.

In my opinion the only field where they will not be able to catch up are autonomous vehicle, it is too abstract and revolutionary for them. It does not fit the german way of innovation based on small incremental innovative steps.
In Java, the java.math.BigDecimal is not a primitive data type. It also has an awkward api due to lack of operator overloading (thanks to BigDecimal not being a primitive data type it seems).

In Python, the story looks slightly better:

from decimal import *
>>> getcontext().prec = 6
>>> Decimal(1) / Decimal(7)
Decimal('0.142857')

But neither of these data types is even close to being a first class citizen in either language.
Creating a WebAssembly-powered library for the modern web
Agreed. I was just trying out communication between js and rust. Then i thought of writing a small loop comparison. And yes, i will surely try some real world example

Municipalities don't levy corporate income taxes. Services like police would be funded through property taxes on the companies' campuses.
People with a conscience should be convinced by calm discussion, not outage.
I decided not to have kids because I could not guarantee that they would have as many opportinuties as had been provided for me.

The main reasons for this negative outlook were exponential population growth, the degrading environment and the threat of nuclear war. At best all I could see was hand-wringing in response to these challenges, in general most people chose to ignore them.

Maybe things are beginning to change, but not enough to guarantee that the next few generations will not experience a degraded quality of life.

Regrets? None. You can't choose your kids but you can choose to live as you wish without the risk of getting a 'bad egg'.
The first article you link to is a BBC news article that says exactly what you claim it is socially unacceptable to say. In the second article, the only people getting outraged are those who've been referred to as "inbred". You can hardly expect them to take kindly to that description.
Unfortunately I can't really comment on this, but would like to add an additional datapoint of someone wanting to know how I can get in touch with IG when I want/need to as well.

In my case, a user's account I was browsing through one day suddenly stopped loading, and when I reloaded the page the account suddenly showed that it had been removed... yet as soon as I logged out (translation: used incognito) it loaded just fine.

Eventually everything fixed itself so this is no longer an active issue, but I always wanted to know what caused my account to be momentarily shadowbanned from accessing that one particular user's account. It was an IG I'd found elsewhere and was just browsing through on the website; besides viewing I didn't interact in any other way at all. Maybe it was that my account has never opened the app, or perhaps that I use the Imagus preview extension which fetches image/video data using the same API calls spammers do...
Sorry but this is dumb. Outrage culture, like the weaponisation of the abortion, drug and gun debates, has been going on since _at least_ the sixties. I mean, look at this picture and tell me how social media’s made this worse: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Little_Rock_Desegregati...

What social media has done is ensure you hear more from groups that previously didn’t get a voice. The outrage has always been there, and no progress has been made on those issues. Thinking social media is causing the left to get more vocal is like thinking cameraphones cause police shootings.
I really like the Pocket; everyone (including you) complains about the keyboard but it just takes a few days to get used to it imho. It has stellar battery life (ubuntu + i3wm gets me well over 20 hours while coding). For casual gaming my OpenPandora is still my go to. Indeed a Switch seems tempting but I like having a device I can code on, again, stellar battery life, and I have spare batteries for the thing so I can go hiking for days and do some gaming + coding at night. Can't wait for the Pyra indeed.

My ideal device would have unibody, swappable battery and 3g, so the Pyra. The Gemini seems great but not sure about the battery life on it. Or the Linux support although they seem serious about it.
Many Europeans live in inner cities. Shops are nearby. Kids walk, take public transport or ride bikes like the rest of us. Why choose to live in such a way were a car is necessary? The amount of time, money and effort that is saved by working, eating, sleeping and generally living in the same place is well worth any added housing costs.
It's a piss up when the death is somewhat expected or of "natural order". The very elderly, etc.

Wakes for young people are very very different and difficult as are wakes for people who died before their time or who have left young families behind.

And you're right about the word Celt being bullshit but we definitely consider ourselves distinct in culture.
It's a reminder to _users_; the implication is that whilst there is no legal impediment to them hosting the files, a user accessing them make violate local laws. It's an acknowledgement that PG cannot know the laws of every jurisdiction as they apply to every user - I'm not sure how it could be seen as suggesting those laws directly bind PG.

Likewise in your example, merely warning user _shouldn't_ make the operators subject to a foreign court. Said court would be able to seize equipment in its jurisdiction, pursue local users, compel payment processors not to do business with them etc., but a site operating legally wholly within its home jurisdiction (i.e. location of staff/business/servers etc.) shouldn't be subject to an overseas court merely because it is accessible from that location. It seems almost untenable that a site could comply with the local laws of every possible jurisdiction that may access the site.
You need to stop learning
911 calls for i.e. kids throwing rocks from overpasses are taken very seriously.
Well that's true, and if you're going to argue that the lack of equally or more concise syntactic support is an omission, I agree. I think 1.23 should denote a decimal floating point constant, and a special suffix should be required if you want to use binary.

But I think it's important to make sure programmers don't end up with the idea that they might as well store money amounts in binary floating point because the language they are using doesn't support decimal.

Indeed - the Toyota hybrid synergy drive is a real marvel of engineering. The way in which it uses two separate motor generators to simulate a conventional CVT is just amazing.

I've heard that the comparative false negative rates among different racial groups was higher than the rate for white applicants. I don't have any sources to back that up though, I'd be interested to see any (regardless of what conclusions they support). I have a feeling that any such data is not public though.
‪Concurrency in Rust – Alex Crichton – Code::dive 2017
Thanks for sharing -- I wasn't aware that Graylog only used mongo for the configuration information -- sounds like they're using it as a synchronization option... Wonder if they're working on any alternatives like etcd or even kubernetes-native synchronization options... After a little looking it looks like the answer is "no" (https://community.graylog.org/t/will-mongodb-ever-be-replace...)
Can't you just bribe them when they're selected?
Awesome. I have one suggestion though: the project description could be easier to understand.

I wouldn't understand anything without the screenshot altho I use Emacs for 11 years. Imagine beginners reading it...
How does that change anything that GP said?
Or let's call these hoppers. There would be small hopper stations every five or ten blocks. You hop into one hopper, it flies you to a nearby station avoiding all traffics and zig zag roads. You hop into another hopper to incrementally get to your destination. This way these drones dont need to have huge batteries or any other complicated features for long distance flight.
Yes, and when we get around that corner, we will be told the same again. And when we get around that corner we will find a lot of car wrecks. And the next corner will be some auto insurance companies, lawyers, and politicians saying "Not on public streets".

Eventually enough people will figure out and/or admit that some of driving a vehicle on current public streets with current traffic occasionally but too often requires real, actual, full, no compromise, human intelligence complete with ability to read, hear and understand, and speak and be heard, to comprehend situations and plan and execute solutions. That's essentially full AI, no compromises, parlor tricks, claimed grand successes in narrow contexts, driving on roadways defined by electronics, etc.
I have a very cynical view of democracy but it turns out that these days it makes me more optimistic about democracy.

Democracy has never been about electing the brightest, never. Democracy is actually not at all about how we choose the person who will rule (as is demonstrated by US who elected twice this century someone who lose the popular vote). It is about the fact that in face of enough unpopularity, the current leader will be gone in less time it would take to overthrow them.

The goal of democracy is not good governance, it is civil peace.

When you look at it this way, from the outside, democracy is working perfectly well in the US. The big test will be to see if the next transition goes peacefully, impeachment or not.

As far as systems go, the main competitor for the US system is the Chinese system, that is a meritocracy. Well, as imperfect a meritocracy as the US is a democracy, but looking at the diplomas of the leaders there, you will see far more scientists and less lawyers. For decades, it has managed to offer transitions and to evolve its dogmas. Xi Jinping's power grab offers a similar test than Trump's US. We shall see what happens at the next transition. We, democrats (in the non-US sense), do not thing that a power structure like the PCC can stay decent without counter powers and elections but the PCC's endurance and success at managing the biggest country in the world is to be acknowledged.

Another system that could, unexpectedly, reappear and offer a competition is plain old absolute monarchy. I keep an eye on the kingdom of Saudi Arabia where the crown prince has decided to clean up some corruption and has (correctly, IMO) identified religious extremism to be the main reason his country lags behind. He has announced staunch reformism. It is yet to be seen if this will actually happen or if it just PR, but if it does, monarchies may come back in front of the scene too.

All in all, as much as I love democracy, I am happy that we seem to stop being complacent about our imperfect systems and may finally seek improvements. I believe that democracy is the most advanced and workable system but it is not the easiest to manage and our societies and cultures still have a lot of room for improvement.
Everyone of those is a hurdle for those who live in a western or central European city.

Where do you park your car? On the street, in a designated parking zone, which happens to be a five to ten minute walk from where you live (because the handful of spots closer to your apartment are already taken).

Where do you wash your car? Not in your driveway (because you don't have one) or on the street in front of your apartment, because that's - quite frankly - illegal. So, you have to take it to a car wash, which is inconvenient.

Car inspections... well, on that, I can only speak for Germany and Switzerland. In our case, the engine bay and undercarriage needs to be thoroughly washed before going for an inspection, any sign of rust is an automatic failure, and the criteria overall are much stricter than in the US and UK.

America (or even just suburban America) and other car-friendly Anglo-Saxon countries are more of an exception than a fair representation of how the average person relates to owning and driving a car.

None of this is at all true to me.

BMW was one of the first to come out with electric cars with the "i series". Audi is releasing 3 new electric drivetrains under the e-tron branding. Mercedes had a massive news release last month where they are building a global battery news to go with an upcoming global rollout of new electric cars:

This idea that the top auto manufacturers are just sitting around waiting for their industry to be taken over by electric startups is just laughable.

AKA, eugenics. Obviously a controversial word thanks to modern history but at a personal level, this is what drives populations; a belief (innate or otherwise) that your offspring will make the world better.

But even past the genetic level, as somebody with education and moderate means, I do feel like our children will also be well educated and with the support of our resources will be able to make positive changes to the world.

I happen to agree with you on the broader point. People who put their lifestyle/career ahead of family might be a net drain on society. But you can't force people to procreate or stop others based on their socio-economic standing.

All you can do is give disadvantaged children a step up with better resources: better public schooling, early-years nurseries, free school meals, etc. And adult education for those without jobs. And pay for that with higher income taxes at the middle class, with breaks for having and supporting children (within limit). Essentially an added tax on DINKs to support lower class children.
More like retaliated to make a point.

For comparison, if they faced a U.S. publisher demand to block some books that were in violation, and in response they blocked all of the U.S., it would be misleading to suggest this was merely the "simplest solution".
I expected the article to dive a bit deeper into natural language understanding, identifying regexes in natural language and how those constructs are used to build grammars higher in the hierarchy.

I should really get around to read more on this, but it quickly explodes in complexity. Suddenly I'm on wikipedia reading about the analytic hierarchy of mathematics. All the while hardly anyone seems to expect that english should adhere to formal grammars.

It would be really interesting instead to only use the concepts that have been introduced. So, what's the bare minimum to be expected from a speaker prior to such a text? Purely appending composition, I guess, enumerations, starting with 'yes' and _. nothing. Typically the first word in a conversation is a greeting. Hello world! On the other hand, there's an obvious relation between 'I' and '1'.

It's interesting that a lot of language can be built up so that a sentence can be understood at each stage of its build (with a bit of abusing the language). Words then are learned simply by association of being close to other known words, so "hello" is implicitly expanded to a whole context. Which in turn is learned from gestures. And continuous repetition is very important. Feedback. ie. success is learned from quieting a crying baby down. Words are learned by echoing back wkrds that are heard repeatedly (rather phonemes, so I would start with "hi", not "hello"). And a lot of repetition is own sounds, to learn sounding at all and to not forget them again.

And later, hole ideas have to be repeated again and again and refined ... which I guess is why I am writing all this.

Although, "simulation" allows us to do all this quietly and heuristics and proofs can significantly simplify the process. I guess that can be linked to context free and higher grammars.

And because of the repition I appreciate this post.
This is also true for a growing number of Americans. When I lived in DC (I now live in Europe), the worst thing about getting an otherwise beneficial job lateral was the need to get a car.

This also happened to me a year ago. Never contacted IG support over this issue and the most interesting thing was that when I search for the id, it never showed up, so assuming it was not taken and something weird happened, I tried to register a new account with it, but it said it was taken. Now I don't use social media and I'm happy with it.
