From the interviews I've heard with the founder, rPi set a price point first, then developed the best hackable computer they could to match it.
If they keep up with that (as they have so far) then expect something more powerful and possibly smaller at the same price. Although I think the rPi zero is probably at the lower end of how small you can go without making tinkering cumbersome with all those gpio pins and such.
although, people also like ATTiny, so who knows :)

I'm not surprised they want to remain anonymous if they failed to perceive a downside in investing in a new product. What would you exepct - "our plans for growth are unambitious and we expect only mediocre performance in the market"?

Stopped using any feature with infinite scroll implemented. It's the common thread between social media feeds, app store lists, streaming services, etc. For sites like HN I stop after the first page.

I was bored at first but then I started filling my time with more productive hobbies, which was the point. Infinite content providers are designed to steal all your time.

It's crazy how little I use the internet now. I never realized what it had become until I put some restrictions in place that ended up blocking out like 90% of the web.
This is one of the reasons I work on the project I am on currently: It's not fair to kids to be subjected to machine learned algorithms that maximize screen/watch time or media consumption in general. They use the same tactics as casinos except their target audience usually consists of minors.

I looked into LASIK a long time ago, but I wasn't a candidate at the time because of my large pupils. Even then, the starring and glare-sensitivity issues were well known, and the recommendation for PRK instead almost as much so. I know several people who've had LASIK and love the results, but not for me thanks. At my age (53) the only option I'd even consider is ICL, because it's easily redone as eyes continue to change, but even that doesn't really seem worth the risks.
What about Lasek? Generally has less complications and less invasive, but takes more time to heal.
I had LASEK 13 years ago and it still goes smoothly. I'm now 52 so I have presbyopia but, beside that, I still have almost perfect vision. The only drawback is that, as other also said, the pain in the immediate after surgery was horrible.

In this case, you're wrong. Elon is actually the lead engineer on at least early SpaceX rockets.

No, that's 100% accurate, at least when I was in school in the 90s-2000s. It actually got worse, as the old government subsidized food staples were phased out (government cheese, flour, potatoes, etc), that actually had to be cooked, and replaced with Sysco frozen products. I'm not sure whether this was actually cheaper than buying real food, or it was laziness.

Also the school breakfast programs were catastrophic, in my opinion. Again, no real food, just packaged donuts and danishes and sugar-laden cereals. It was arguably better when we had snack time instead, with milk and a bag of pretzels or Goldfish and a piece of fruit.
Yep. It helps me a lot, because sometimes I switch between my Mac and Windows boxes. Especially in this case where I had to verify/release the build on two platforms.

The only downside is that not everyone uses the same editor, so in projects with more contributors, it can quickly create bloat.
RTGs are controversial[0] and there is still a slow production of Pu-238 to power them in the US[1]. Plus, Mars is close to the Sun and has access to plenty of solar power, compared to other targets (any mission beyond Jupiter). The Juno spacecraft used newer, more advanced solar panels, which allowed it to be solar-powered in the orbit of Jupiter[2], and pretty much the same could be done with a martian rover[3].

I wouldn't say solar power is obsolete for Mars rovers/landers. As hit has been said before, this isn't a mission which is failing due to bad solar panel technology, this is an aging rover met with extremely harsh conditions after working 15+ years longer than it was supposed to. Not only has its panels weared down, the batteries too. If it's lost in this duststorm, it's going to be sad, but not evidence that solar power is a no-go for martian exploration.

[3] Mars 2020 didn't pursue this because they were trying to reuse as much R&D as possible from MSL/Curiosity, so it stands to reason they'd use the same power source (or an updated version of). Edit: the RTG for M2020 is a spare part from MSL -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_2020#Design

What is the carrying capacity of earth for Humans? I recall in the 70s there was hype about the “Population Bomb” but those fears were never borne out.

As well, what makes you think we will reach an equilibrium for good neighborhoods? Some housing will be abandoned, causing blight; blight causes good neighborhoods to become less desirable, and they spiral down from there.

Detroit is a great example of what happens when neighborhoods lose people.

They have a "Chaos Monkey" [1] feature that is intended to bring down individual nodes. "Exposing engineers to failures more frequently incentivizes them to build resilient services."

If Chaos Monkey had been responsible for setting off a global outage, I could imagine business leaders getting cold feet about using a tool like this. In traditional companies, anyways, they'd never have seen the benefit of it and after only hearing the costs, they'd probably be livid that a widespread outage had been caused by something like this.

Almost all the habits here are about sleeping and exercise.

Exercise is one of those things that once you start, you crave so it is easier.

But sleep wasn't solved for me till I got a personal tracker. Suddenly I started to care when I measured how little or how much REM I got.

So I think if you get a personal tracker and track your steps and sleep, a lot of the rest will fall in place.
Oic, I had never seen that term used before.

Wow. I just looked at your submission history, and if I'm reading correctly, you got your first programming job just over 2 years ago, after studying part-time while supporting a family. And you increased your salary from 35k to 150k in about 2 years.

This would be impressive even for someone who is single. But even more impressive to do it with kids to take care of.

Wow!

I feel that it can often help that foreigners (especially Americans) have a reputation for rudeness that has become accepted as “cultural difference”, such that people are not as offended when a gaijin does something that would be considered offensive coming from a Japanese person.
Why not Kuala Lumpur? I've only been there once, on work, some years ago. Was there for a month or so. Didn't get to see a whole lot (except restaurants, malls and night markets), but liked what I saw back then. Food was varied and good (liked the food courts, where you can get many varieties of cuisines under one roof), friendly people, good Internet (for then), etc. Of course it is a big city, so some may not like that. But it did have a lot of parks and trees, IIRC.

Plus the Multimedia Super Corridor was just starting up then, and while I've not followed its progress closely, I did read now and then, that many startups have been set up there and such.

You can remember the order of an entire pack of cards?!? Are you a wizard
Lack of fitness is evil, because it can creep up on you, particularly if you have a sedentary job and don't do a lot of physical activity otherwise, so you might not realise how much it's drifted away.

The good news is that of all the things in life where there are no shortcuts but almost guaranteed results if you put the effort in, improving your fitness may well be #1 on the list.

If you're not at all fit and haven't been doing regular physical activity for a while, you may need to start slow with the cardio and light with any weights. That's OK. There is no shame in training at your current level, whatever that is. The people I have the most respect for at the gym are the ones who obviously aren't fit yet but who show up and make an effort to improve.

The main thing at first is to find a level of intensity where you can complete a decent workout, even if initially it seems very low. It will improve as you continue to train.

Also, be very wary of these super-short workouts. When you're first starting out, no amount of bro science or trendy 10 second workouts will substitute for putting the time in regularly to build up your fitness and convert your body mass to the kind you want. Even if right now all you can do is go for a 10 minute walk before you're tiring, do that, but try to do it often. Better that than trying to do something you're not ready for, but then having to stop after just a minute or two. You're unlikely to gain much benefit from that, and if what you're trying to do is that demanding compared to your current ability, it could even be dangerous.

On that final point, since I haven't seen anyone else say it yet, remember that if you're significantly increasing the exercise you do and you're not very fit to start with, it's probably a good idea to speak with your doctor to make sure what you're planning to do is sensible for you, particularly if you're a bit older and/or have any significant medical issues that might affect what you can do or how you should train. They can also give you some basic advice on related issues like nutrition, hydration and rest if you don't already know the essentials.

Probably not. VMs are not universal. Things designed for shared memory model, like say GCs, make sacrifices that would not do so good for isolated processes. So a custom unoptimized VM might make more sense than an architecturally unfit VM.

If you can find it in the library, the book "Brain Maker" [0] has a good starting point in its recipes section. Here's [1] a video showing how it's done. You've got to buy the Kefir grains (or get them from someone you know who makes Kefir). Once you have the grains, you most likely won't need to buy them again, as you'll keep them alive and growing on your own. (Note for the grain-free folks, Kefir grains aren't actually grains. They're a bacterial culture conceptually similar to what you'd use to make yogurt.)

Basically, you combine water, Kefir, and sugar, then you wait a few days. Then, you drink. Or if you want to add flavoring (which I highly recommend), you do a second fermentation process: add in the flavoring (e.g. dried strawberries or something), bottle it for a 1-3 more more days, then drink or refrigerate.

Nuts, cheese, boiled eggs, and fruit are all widely available, pre-made, snacks.

It should be noted that The Longevity Diet, promoted by Valter Longo, recommends nuts as the "go-to" snack. Super easy, and healthy too.

> Insulin is a hormone that is produced as a response to high sugar levels in the blood, but it is the insulin level that determines how much fat is stored, not the blood sugar level.

Sure, but that's like saying that it's not the size of the hole in the boat that is sinking the ship, but the capacity of the guy with a bucket shoving water out of the boat.

If you can't produce enough insulin to lower your blood sugar to avoid glucose toxicity, you're already sick. So while the insulin is technically storing the fat, the sugar is directly/short term controlling the insulin response, and indirectly/long term your insulin resistance.
> I have never written or published a book, but my understanding is that the cost of writing the book far outweighs the cost of actually printing it. Human time and knowledge is way more costly than some paper and the effort of a machine that spits out books by the second.

Usually physical books are said to be expensive because publishers are the ones holding the rights to them. They pay the authors in advance and try to recoup the cost later, with prices as high as the market will bear. The publishers have some fixed overhead in payroll (for editing, typography, art), printing, marketing, etc. Add to that the risk of the book not being finished by the author and the publisher's profit margin and it goes some ways to justify their pricing (or at least it makes it understandable). The authors then get only a slim percentage of the sales (if at all).

In this case the book isn't even finished, the full proceeds go to the authors (or so it seems) and the readers are expected to advance the money themselves to offset the costs of writing it. The overhead is vastly diminished, there's no publisher, the authors incur no risk, and yet the price is much higher. Makes no sense.
Can't test for everything, but seeing this is the most significant outage in ages, I'd say they're doing a damned good job.

No, but it helps. Just like humans don't need murderers to die at some point, and just like no murderer gets off with "people die anyway".

> In particular, the connection between the discovery of gunpowder and the overthrow of feudalism by the bourgeoisie has been pointed out over and over again. And though I have no doubt exceptions can be brought forward, I think the following rule would be found generally true: that ages in which the dominant weapon is expensive or difficult to make will tend to be ages of despotism, whereas when the dominant weapon is cheap and simple, the common people have a chance. Thus, for example, tanks, battleships and bombing planes are inherently tyrannical weapons, while rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon — so long as there is no answer to it — gives claws to the weak.

14M Facebook users 'may have had their private posts shared publicly'
Facebook has apologized for a glitch that may have resulted in 14 million users having their private social posts shared publicly.

An error in its audience selector tool meant posts would automatically be flagged to share to the general public, which normally would remain set to whatever preferences the user ticked most recently, the company said on Thursday.

Facebook has started notifying the 14 million users affected by the glitch, which was active from 18 to 27 May this year.

Out of caution, the company has urged all users to review their posts during this time.
Deliberately trying to cultivate friendships and openness, both by being a bit more open and honest with people, and by asking them very gentle questions to let them know that I'm somebody they can be open with, if they want.

I also set up a 'close friends' filter on Facebook for people I can be a bit more honest with - not 'all drama, all the time' type of stuff, but more about starting interesting discussions about stuff that we don't normally talk about: emotions, relationships, etc. I'm tired of keeping my Facebook life relentlessly positive and polished - not only is it bad for me, but bad for everybody else who sees me as just another person with a better life than their own.

It's all pretty terrifying, but it's definitely paying off. If you have mental health issues, I can't overstate the goodness of having friends around you who know and understand about that.

No, it’s not better to give the money to corporate executives - they have no incentive at all to spend the money wisely. When you’re spending other people’s money, the incentive to do what’s best for the money disappears.

Further, when discussing business, giving money to businessmen leads to corruption, kickbacks, and other waste.

Finally, executives have shown time and again they are awful businessmen. HP's Itanium, Tharanos' nanotainers, and I could go on and on and on.

> I guess Richard Stallman violated the "spirit of the GPL" when he made MicroGnuEmacs change their name.

No, because he asked them to remove "GNU" and It is not part of or for GNU, does not use GPL and is not a fork (it uses a combination of public domain and BSD licenses)... if he asked them to remove "Emacs" from the name then this would be the same issue - but it's not.

I am not familiar with the details of that discussion but I doubt many people would argue against me when I say it's very likely RMS was against them using GNU in the name of public domain and BSD licensed software due to significant differences in implied licensing, this is completely different reasoning to git's where it disapproves of _any_ implied relationship that is _not_ endorsed.

Also note that the focus of my comment is explicitly on the details of the significant implications to related software that is _not_ a fork or clone.
