It's been taking quite a long time to deliver many of the parts, unfortunately. I was watching it for a time but a lot of newer boards seem to be coming out and at this point unless you need the extended addons, you may be able to get more for less.

The snickerdoodle is probably better if you want to do a lot of electronic breakout. Otherwise, for straight FPGA work, at this rate, the new Avnet Ultra96 simply looks like a superior base platform in most respects, and will be shipping in volume quite soon.
I asked something similar in the Instapaper story:

A general question for the GDPR experts: If user A does a request of their data and user B added a page their Instapaper account that had user A listed, does that page have to be included in the response to user A?

I didn't get an answer there. It is basically the same scenario of one user referencing another.
> By the looks of it the victim was held at the legs. We can expect a bad concussion.

If the victim had hit the ground, we can anticipate worse.
> Not all open source projects have shitty leaders, but some do, and it's not always obvious which ones those are until you've invested some non-zero amount of time/effort into it.

If this was your intent, then I apologize for misreading it. But being very clear: this is not how the original text of your post read.
...and the whey comes from: ____
I read the ICO article and discovered the GDPR applies unless it doesn’t and I can refuse to act unless I can’t and I can charge fees unless they don’t want me to.

I still have no idea what to do exactly. I don’t really think it is my responsibility but I live in a country and operate in another country where laws this vague are unenforceable.
I remember getting units in one screen, moving the mouse pointer onto a target location in the map, and then doing a series of Tab-M-Clicks: Tab selects the next unit, M selects the Move command, and Click on the target.
Yeah, the unnecessary inclusion of his cheese road trip and awkward crashing at a friend's place in the middle of a divorce was pretty odd.

Good christ no, m4 is one of the worst macro preprocessors.

If you're going to preprocess C code then you should use something which is aware of the syntax of C (analogous to camlp4 for OCaml). There are a bunch of "LISP macro for C" projects out there.
Yes, although that study suggests the big declines have been with things like choking and burns among very young children. I don't think anyone is arguing for more dangerous products or getting rid of safety precautions for toddlers.

That study also suggests more vehicle-related accidents but it's hard to know what to make of that without knowing more about the type of accidents, population patterns, etc.
I disagree with your conclusion. While it's true technological advances have rendered many traditional forms of soap boxes obsolete, that means we need to develop new more capable soap boxes. But perhaps this is what you allude to with "the personal computation box"?

(And as for the ammo box, guerilla fighters have proven resourceful. Modern guerilla warfare and its relationship to technology is an interesting subject you can dive deep into. One must also keep in mind modern 'win' conditions for guerilla fighters, many of which don't look much like win conditions in traditional warfare. But I don't think our present situation will come to this.)
You can switch to/from the original form any time with F10.
It is more scalable client-side. There are fewer browsers than Internet edges. The Internet is designed to circumvent any attempt to control the edges.

You can hammer one app Facebook but you can’t hammer all apps.

Just consider revery Chrome extension that is malware. You can though hammer Chrome to block functionality that enables malware.
It's certainly true that Facebook sells access to user data! Though you're right there's no API. Facebook doesn't make it easy, the technical resourcefulness of a grey/black adtech company are required.

Much of this is non-obvious, even to web-savvy technical people.

> I suspect what you actually mean is that I can run ads that are targeted based on aggregate user data ... so if someone clicks on my ads I know some general stuff about them based on my campaign targeting

> but I’m certainly not getting a data dump about them, there’s no way for me to identify them, etc.

An effective way to personally identify someone who follows a link and loads a page (and nothing else) is through browser fingerprinting [0]. Fingerprinting is more powerful and ubiquitous than many on this site realize.

So, if a greyhat adtech company has data on a person's browser fingerprint history, then the Facebook targeting data can be _easily_ associated. Browser fingerprints should really, REALLY be considered as PII because that is how they are used.

The data is relatively limited, but invaluable for future ad-targeting off the Facebook platform. And, if there's already substantial information in the database on a person, the high quality Facebook data can be used for quality control for other data sources.

It's a tricky problem for Facebook to solve, but they have zero incentive to try. So they don't (that I've seen).

...and then there's the data they were selling via the developer interface. If anyone thinks Cambridge Analytica is the only example of this, I have a startup to sell them. One might notice that even Facebook is now branding the CA scandal as a 'breach' rather than 'system operating as expected', because of this criticism. Facebook may not have sold access directly, but by giving developers (and dark adtech companies) such unrestricted access to the data, Facebook pumped up their platform numbers which had a relative positive effect on the company's share price.

This has all been conscious on the part of Facebook leadership -- there's enough smart people at Facebook, you can bet some of them raised red flags over the years.

You ask a trick question. We view and interpret the world through the tools we have (math). Feynman pointed out this absurdity here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd0xTfdt6qw&feature=youtu.be... ) The ancients used geometry, classical theory tends to analytical expressions, modern theory is mostly fields, and likely future developments will be computational. The old tools will likely go the way of Greek and Latin and geometry and geography.
You're absolutely right, thanks for refreshing my memory :)
My comment wasn't addressed at practitioners developing web apps so much as a response to principled criticism of the Web architecture as application development platform. As the author of TFA says he's coming from a Windows desktop app development background, praising early-90s RAD environments such as FoxPro for their superior workflow and adequateness for the job of creating business apps.

Then why not use those tools rather than the Web? But the author insists

> The last thing I want to see is us going back to native development as the first line for development. The Web has always been the future for application development and I believe it will go all the way in the end. I believe in the Web as a platform and I want it to stay as the dominant platform.

Why does the Web have to be everything to everybody, gaining incredible complexity to the point that it's useless as a standard because we're never going to see new independent implementations from scratch?

Re WHATWG: I don't think HTML5 is bad, but it must be said that it was the late 2000s "HTML5 rocks" propaganda making plugins (Flash and Java) unfashionable for better or worse. Turned out the offered overlapping and partially implemented alternatives (Canvas API, declarative CSS animations and shapes, SVG) were lacking, and didn't address the principal use cases. Those being describing highly interactive apps, controlled piercing of Web sandboxes for integration with native file systems and devices, etc.

Not a physicist, but I do not think thermodynamics is a physical theory in the same sense that QED or GR are: it isn't about any specific physical system or interaction, but rather a general pattern when one looks at certain properties of bulk matter on (relatively) long timescales. Feynman had a good explanation of this, but for the life of me I can't remember the reference right now -- it's either in one of the lectures in the Character of Physical Law (try the one on the distinction between past and future) or one of the Feynman Lectures chapters on thermo.

IIRC thermodynamics per se does not have to "change" to adapt to systems where quantum effects play a role. How to link abstract thermodynamic concepts to the microscopic dynamics of a specific system in which quantum effects play a role would require a quantum theory, but for that we have quantum statistical mechanics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_statistical_mechanics) which is a fairly well-developed subject.

(This leaves out connections to relativity, special or general, about which I don't know much.)

Saying FLOSS instead of "open source" is like saying "LBQTXRSABCFGHKWPÖ" instead of "queer". Putting more letters doesn't make it more inclusive or anything, it just makes you look less serious.

There is a world of difference between these two things. To my knowledge death threats are illegal in every American state. Insulting people is generally legal, just like it should be.

There is the plus that, if they all arrive at the same results, that gives greater confidence in the conclusion. Redundancy also has its good side.

You can go back further, the original Herzog on MSX had RTS elements, and 1984's Stonkers[1][2] for the ZX Spectrum was the first commercially published RTS (AFAICT). Whether it's sales constitute mass market success is a different thing.

>It seems like he has no time only for legislation from EU.

Yes, that is the entirely correct mindset to have for someone who does not live in the EU.
Because (IMHO) if they want to morally align a superintelligence, the first step would be to either morally align a dumb intelligence or to show that you can convince the people building this intelligence to steer it in this direction.

If they do neither, they risk either coming up with a plan that doesn't work (because it was not tested) or that no one cares about.
It's not the cheese, it's the noodles.

Pasta is nutritious - full of complex carbohydrates and protein, and low in fat (unless you use egg noodles). So it's the opposite of what the health world wants you to eat right now (high carb, low fat), but you could eat far worse things if you're on a budget.

It gets it's bad rep from being combined with rich buttery sauces and fatty meats, easily turning into a calorie bomb.
On one hand there's the "no government involvement. period", but then we end up with companies clearly taking advantage of citizens and the environment without any repercussions.

On the other hand, there's the "regulate all the things", which is almost always abused by those in power to take advantage of citizens and the environment without any repercussions.

Can we not have a mixture of the two, where there's just enough government involvement to keep us from destroying ourselves and each other, but not too much such that we destroy ourselves and each other?

Back on topic: this instance of government involvement is purely political, at the detriment of the environment and those in it, and should not be legal. I hope this, if it's implemented, is immediately challenged in court.
The best follow ups by far were Avid Matador and Discreet Combustion.

Avid bundled Matador (and FXTree) into Softimage, which Autodesk later absorbed and killed off.

Discreet were also assimilated by Autodesk, and Combustion was later killed.
The point of requiring "green power" is to fight climate change. It is appropriate for governments to do something about that.
Why not enclose your “open” racks with some cheap aluminum screening from the hardware store?

Attach with Velcro. Also keeps out debris and literal bugs as a side benefit.
Carbs are always cheaper than protein though. Mac and cheese isn’t really a serious protein source, so you’ll still need to add something to make it work.
>So I think that as a first step, no-encryption is better than using Speck

Yeah so the guy just throws everything out of the window.
But both included the MIT license
>I don't think anyone is arguing for more dangerous products or safety precautions for toddlers.

Maybe some people think that way. Colloquially, I've heard about a million times Europeans laugh at how ridiculous they think some laws are in that regard, such as Kinder eggs being banned in America.
> "(and saying they "should DIE & go to HELL!" is somewhat more to just saying they should go to hell)"

Is it? It just seems redundant to me. Redundancy may be offensive, but it shouldn't be illegal!
To be fair, "open source" is a very broad term and everyone has a different sense for what it means. I don't believe the restrictions of AGPL make it an open source license in spirit ("source-available" is probably the better term), but FSF seems to think it is.
As an aspirational goal or as an actual opportunity at hand?

In the latter case I'd say you'd have quite a daunting task ahead of you. Without any previous management experience and existing leadership skills becoming the CTO of a company of roughly 250 people (which is the definition of a larger SME) might be biting off more than you can chew.

If it's more of an aspirational goal you should focus on people skills first and foremost. Being able to present and generally communicate complex technical matters in a way different target audiences (engineers, management, customers) will understand you is one of the most important traits of a successful CTO. Staying on top of current technological development and trends on a general level is crucial, too.

As a CTO you don't have to know how to exactly use a specific technology but you have to be able to decide which technology in a particular area will be most suitable for your organisation.

Finally, if you take your job as a CTO seriously you most certainly won't code or do any day-to-day engineering anymore. A CTO who still codes is an anti-pattern and almost always a sign that there's something seriously wrong with the company.
I have a Virtex-II on a dev board that's the size of a desktop PC's motherboard. I found it in the trash several years ago, and couldn't let it go to waste! I didn't want to buy a programmer for it, so I decided to use guzuntyPi instead.

I'm familiar with how FPGAs work, and I did a project writing Verilog and using Xilinx chips to make a basic CPU while at university. I still think the technology is really cool.

The problem is, after 4 years, I still haven't found a good use for my Virtex-II dev board. I'll give it away for free to anyone in Taiwan, or if you pay shipping to elsewhere. You could also try to suggest fun projects (e.g. I really want HDMI input to my laptop), but the physical size of the board is just too cumbersome for my itinerant needs.
I was reading about a research lab somewhere in Madison that would attach electrodes to the tongue and send electric impulses based on real time cemara feed. The blind's person brain would then adapt and start seeing with the tongue. The general idea was that the eyes are just the gates that transform light into electric impulses so why not use tongue to send the electric impulses. They did achieve pretty amazing results.
>React is great, mostly for bigger web apps that do need a framework and more structure, such as an SPA with multiple team members working on it.

I'd argue this is bad advice. What constitutes a 'bigger' project us arbitrary, and once you build your whole app on jQuery it's expensive to migrate to React once you get just a bit 'bigger'.

Now whether or not all websites need to be React-based SPAs is a different question entirely.
>private information

GDPR is about personal information, not private information. Personal information is anything relating to an identified or identifiable person. Your forum account username, password, posts, private messages, votes, etc. are all in GDPR scope. If it's possible to use the same username, password, and writing style, etc. across the internet then at least some forum users are "identifiable" whether or not they have provided a real name, phone number, or anything like that.
Open-source does not convey the same idea as free software.
You have to do 3 rounds with these different ciphers, so all 3 stooges have to get along to decrypt your communication.
With respect to community surveys, I think they can be a good thing, but they're annoying when it looks like the author is on a fishing trip rather than trying to identify the answers to a few new specific questions.

Usually my off-the-cuff response is "What are you trying to understand which isn't already discussed heavily?". New areas of research and some small amount of redundant work is fine, but too often everyone covers the same base without aiming to take a deeper dive on something new.
Another problem is the enemy AI cheating without shame. In later levels It will rebuild its buildings even if your units are in the way, even if it has no money, even if it has no construction yard.
The paper also addresses that at section 3, Barriers[1]:

- Lack of time of the project leaders
- Non-clear, complex or buggy codebase
- Lack of time of the own contributor
- Inappropriate design or architecture
- etc.

Suspicious, sure. But people are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. You shouldn't be able to just take someone's stuff because you are "suspicious" that they got it illegally. You should have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they got it illegally first.
Spam Trigger Words to Avoid in Your Email Content
For people starting out, yes you can and should absolutely avoid things like Vivado if possible, because they are otherwise big, inscrutable pains in the ass, and you will hate them. Also the devices are relatively expensive comparatively. You'll be simulating a lot anyway.

But, Vivado does a lot of very valuable things in practice that will take a lot of time to really replace properly, if you're doing serious FPGA work for Xilinx systems. Or even if you're doing semi-serious work. A working flow is one thing, killing it off is a much harder challenge.

Even for Lattice FPGAs, IceStorm does not match e.g. Lattice iCEcube2 in terms of features or functionality (timing analysis reports, power estimation, floorplan and pinout UXs, very standard clock synthesis and constraint options, etc etc.) But it's way better at the things it actually does, admittedly. Despite that, I still find myself reaching for iCEcube2, even if my actual flow is IceStorm. These are all fixable and you can live without them, but that's for a simple EDA tool on the simplest/cheapest consumer FPGA you can buy, with a limited technology library and hard IP.

The ongoing move to use tools like VPR however will polish a lot of that off (power/timing/clock constraint synthesis). XRay will benefit from that. The rest is going to be a lot of IP cores, simulation models, middleware, and software tooling, and that's what's needed to really kill off something like Vivado.

Debugging tools are probably the most important middleware in particular, and they are sorely lacking.

Personally at least, I will say Yosys is IMO the nicest synthesis tool there is. So, if you are OK with Verilog, the FOSS community does have some best-in-class tools already. :)

Godel's incompleteness is the closest we have come to the theory of everything
Yeah, this brings back fond memories.

I think Dune II was the first game I heard on Sound Blaster. That or Wing Commander II.

I was at a friend's house when he showed me those games on his dad's computer. I couldn't wait for my dad to get home that evening to sell him on the idea of a Sound Blaster.

He did surprise me with one a couple of weeks later. I think he must've ~seen~ heard one himself at a computer store and buy it on impulse.
The content of the article and the title of the article are in contradiction. Like the article mentions this likely would not eliminate malaria. You'd need a reproductive release and at that point nature kicks in with all the unforeseen consequences that entails, including resistance ultimately creating a 'super malaria.' And that really is the fundamental problem. We have a pretty bad track record with genetic engineering stuff. For instance one of the early selling point of genetically engineered crops is that it would mean we could reduce usage of herbicides. Glyphosate in particular is a very powerful herbicide that killed everything except what was engineered to be resistant to it. So get your glyphosate resistant crops, spray just a little bit, and you're set.

And it worked great. Until it didn't. Of course nature kicked in and invasive weeds started evolving natural resistance to the compound leading farmers to pour more and more of the stuff on their crops to try to kill them off - a cycle that continues to this day [1] with no end in sight. Needless to say, our total herbicide usage has skyrocketed from something that was supposed to dramatically reduce it. Citronella, bed nets, and if you're feeling real frisky - the introduction of natural predators seems perhaps more reasonable.
