Elon Musk Needs Sleep
Food banks are charity which should be tackled by the welfare state. Food banks do good work. They do amazing work. But it's work which shouldn't have to be done, and it's an indicator oF economic failure.

Commoditising ugly fruit and veg is good. We should stop treating perfectly good food as reject and we should stop assuming the best use of ugly food is donation to the poor.

Poor people need jobs and state intervention not food banks
I feel like most DoT road crews have this already figured out.

Here are the three most significant problems from my perspective:

(1) Cost - IP allocation isn't close to free, either in $ or in time/administrative overhead.

(2) Technical Complexity - Using routing protocols like BGP is not currently a process with enough automated tooling to make it realistic

Those problems could likely be overcome with concerted effort.

But the biggest problem of all may be what this would do to the size of global routing tables. We've already got a problem with routing table size exploding with more and more people advertising smaller and smaller prefixes. All of that high-performance ram is expensive. That routing table is globally replicated.

If it were affordable for everyone to announce their own prefixes, routing tables would be prohibitively large. I don't think we yet have any good answers to this problem, and I am genuinely interested if you are aware of any.
With the estimated U.S. military spending of $892 billion[link] it is kind of mind blowing that we cannot secure 2000-mile stretch of land that is the southern border of this great nation and instead 'everyone' knows that "It’s really dangerous where you’re headed...people die out there".

Let that sink in for a moment.

Go on. These are the random insights that we love hn for.
Tcl/Tk is still used a lot. Tcl is still great for scripting applications and ships with many professional tools. Digital IC design very strongly depends on Tcl. Afterall, it was called "Tool control language" to script the design tools Ousterhout was developing.

Tk is still the quickest way to create a simple UI which is also highly portable across operation systems. With tclkit you can even create self contained Tcl/Tk applications on the big platforms (Win/Mac/Linux).

Sure. If you still want to be React-like, that is! But React, Preact are still view libraries right? Mithril is a (reasonably) complete framework. It's sufficiently similar to React that if you know React, you can get productive in Mithril very fast. I guess mithril is for people who want a full framework with no fluff that gets out of the way.
Thanks for this. I'd never heard of him. Been listening to his talks for the last 3 hours!
I'm surprised by the surprise. The interview was just Musk being Musk. Everyone knew he worked his butt off, and devoted his life to his companies, has been through a handful of failed marriages, and has generally harmed his personal life. The interview just confirmed it.

Sure, blame the local governments, don't blame the tax revolt that happened 40 years ago and has crippled the entire state since then.

Very similar thoughts. I have tried a universal data model for a while for solving personal data as well as business data (small and medium businesses)...I had built an App and then put that in cold storage as I am still not clear in my head on how I can go about presenting it to the world.
Why are the comments dissing about phatbeets produce? Their cause is immeasurably better than Ugly Produce.

Remember just recently there was a Chinese browser that received shit tons of money and turned out to be just Chrome browser?

There are plenty of shitty startups out there and this is an obvious case that Ugly Produce is one of them.
Well, sure?

Banning straws is easy. Solving homelessness is not. It's not as if the SF Supes can just have a "No more homelessness" vote.
I spent nearly six years homeless. I ate at soup kitchens and got food from food banks for a small portion of that time.

I grew up with a garden in the back yard. My dad hunted and some of the meat on our table was squirrel and deer he killed. My mother cooked from scratch.

I'm used to eating well for relatively little money. Most of the food at soup kitchens and food pantries fails to meet my expectations for food quality.

Food stamps (EBT) are a good program. You can use them to buy the same food from the same stores as anybody else and you get to decide what to spend it on. (Though the program could use more funding. They tend to last only 3 weeks of the month.)

Soup kitchens and food pantries tend to suck, even the better ones.

I'm not saying we shouldn't provide compassionate support to anyone. I'm just saying some programs for doing so would be acceptable to people with middle class expectations and some wouldn't be. For many reasons, including germ control, we need to be shooting for programs that fit middle class sensibilities and not act like "beggars can't be choosers."

Furthermore, if you are homeless, you are living without a fridge. Produce doesn't keep well under those conditions. When I was around a lot of other homeless people for a time, it wasn't unusual for free produce to go to waste, in part for that reason. Some idiot would give a homeless person some giant bag of apples. They could eat a few of them before they rotted, but not all of them. Maybe they managed to give the rest away. Maybe they didn't.

Last, I have serious reservations about creating systems to serve the poor instead of creating systems to help them resolve their problems. Systems designed to serve the poor tend to actively keep poverty alive, a la the Shirky Principle:

"Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution"

Non official python wrapper and CLI tool for Revolut bank
So they’re complaining that they’re being out-competed?
That's not a fair characterization. I would argue that dealing with the homeless population is significantly more complex of an issue than dealing with plastic straws.

IP assert: "This food was going to be thrown out & going to waste. We are using it for something!"

Article asserts: "That food wasn't being thrown out it was going to food banks and homeless shelters."

So while IP is almost certainly helping the farmers by paying them for produce they can't normally sell they certainly aren't reclaiming mountains of food otherwise destined for rot.
This is also my favorite book, everyone please read it already!

The graph output from your algorithm is pretty nice, thank you for sharing!
> With the estimated U.S. military spending of $892 billion[link] it is kind of mind blowing that we cannot secure 2000-mile stretch of land that is the southern border

If we needed to secure it against a conventional military invasion, that military spending would make it easy, sure. Or if we were willing to treat unlawful entry as equivalent to invasion (which isn't just enforcing along the border with deadly force, but cutting the lines by which people and contraband arrive there at the points most militarily vulnerable with deadly force as well.) But that's an insane approach to any actual problem on the border, and no US government had been that insane, so military spending is pretty irrelevant.
Elon need not worry much about the Wall Street right now. His major concern has to be hiring an Operational wizard. Elon can't do everything himself, though he likes to believe he can. Elon, get someone like Tim Cook as a COO. It will do wonders for Tesla and your personal life.

Also, meditate.
Don’t see the fundamental difference between locks and queues. In a system that uses locks, the kernel can still internally use queues to grant some lock requests before others.
This is also my experience. I've heard the claims in this thread (i.e. that people who pretend to know things get ahead, while those who admit that they don't know stuff are never trusted) my entire life, but I've always thought, "who are these people talking about?"

Whenever I've worked with a blowhard who couldn't admit when they didn't know something literally everybody smart thought of them as a blowhard who couldn't admit when they didn't know something.
Outside of the fact important information can easily be stolen.

Personally I think the consumer should face financial liability when iot devices are used in massive attacks that create problems for others.

Just because you chose a shitty vendor with a shitty product doesn't mean the entire internet should suffer.

I am a fan of things like brickerbot and I hope that sort of thing continues aggressively.
Does anyone have a better source than this article on what's really going on in the industry?

I don't know anything about it, but I'm skeptical. I would have thought that an ugly carrot would end up as carrot juice or sliced up into bits and put into soup.

Doctors would totally push cheap testicle-exploding drugs on their patients if there wasn't extensive regulation preventing them from doing that.

They do push life-explodingly addictive and harmful painkillers on their patients, despite knowing the harm it does, because regulations don't prevent them from doing that.

What would be the consequences of an FDA for IoT? Huge price increases, sudden workability of patents as a means of protection, but more security and better products?
Sure they could. Just pay for housing for all homeless SF residents. The only reason it doesn't happen is because people with money and power don't care enough to make the material sacrifices required to solve the problem.
I had prior experience with text processing and small scripting tasks with Perl, so I found it easier to learn Python

I started with Automate the boring stuff videos, it was a good refresher to programming concepts as well. I used to conduct Perl basics workshop for my juniors at college, replacing it with Python helped me a lot - both during preparing reference notes as well as while teaching

if finding an avenue to teach (colleagues, juniors etc) is not available, start doing projects - translating something you did in another language, some project you always wanted to do, etc

for beginners to programming, I would strongly suggest Think Python and Automate the boring stuff

Or newer. e.g., I use gitk daily at work.
GPUs can just do fast matrix multiplications in parallel, but it’s up to the developer to reframe their software into matrix multiplications. For some applications it’s great, but for most it isn’t realistic.

Also if General processors are now hitting a wall, it’s only a matter of time before GPUs do.
Do you have a gist or similar link for this code? Copy & paste doesn't work due to indentation issues.
No. But depending on how much market share you have, it might come pretty damn close.
Well, consider that SF has a diverse population, with several different factions who disagree dramatically about homelessness, help for drug addicts, housing policy, etc., and many other topics of “concern”.

It sounds like you personally are not at all involved politically, other than maybe occasionally voting and chatting on this forum where none of the stakeholders or policymakers involved are likely to see it.

The way the American system of government works (and to some extent any system of government), problems get addressed when someone cares enough about them to spend their time and attention working on them, organizing, looking for compromises with other stakeholders, etc.

There are folks out there working on increasing Bay Area’s housing supply, helping the homeless get the help they need, building public bathrooms, drug rehabilitation, lobbying the city to change police priorities, and so on. You can look them up and lend some of your time / money to projects you think are important.

City government is done by you/us, the residents of the city. It’s not some abstract force beyond human comprehension, but people just like you who are willing to put in the effort to make things work.

Though, fair warning, it seems like you are more concerned with judging/condemning the less fortunate and maybe chasing them out of your town than really fixing any of the root problems. If you go into working on government/policy problems with that attitude, be prepared for a lot of frustration. Actually, be prepared for frustration regardless; democratic government is inherently frustrating.
With no bosses, there’s nobody saying: “no, you have to use this one.”
Yes, that's funny. I guess for me it's when I open my browser to do something quickly, but can't do it quickly because I have to wait for all those tabs to load first.
>As a non-profit dedicated to food justice, we work with small farmers of color

Sometimes you can't discern parody from reality.

What's worse is that it's reality: it's a racist non-profit that refuses to work with white farmers, like in South Africa.
That would have been... GAWKward.
How can you reasonably ask a consumer to evaluate the security of a product when many don’t have basic education? Also, many reputable companies that make “good products” have security breaches, so you can’t just rely on reputation.

When they don't get state intervention, they'll need food banks, which is exactly the case right now.
Homelessness is rooted in two things: very serious personal problems that have no easy answer combined with a dire shortage of genuinely affordable housing in the US.*

We need to dramatically improve availability of affordable housing. That would get a lot of retirees and the like off the street.

But the ones who would, say, burn the house down while you weren't looking need a lot more than a free place to live.

If you care deeply about this issue, work on affordable housing. But please stop acting like homeless people are all puppies that need to be adopted by some well-meaning stranger. It's incredibly dehumanizing and tends to compound the problem.

> According to your logic every time a transaction happens both parties benefit and the economy grows!

That's actually correct. The stock market is a mechanism for investment to be transferred from less productive uses to more productive uses.

> Get rid of farmers, factories and other products.

That doesn't follow. Just because wheels are very useful, doesn't mean wheels are the only thing that need be produced.

> Value and utility are intrinsically tied to physical matter and physical energy,

No, they are not. Ideas and execution have value, too. That's why, for example, libraries have value - in the form of the information in the books, not the physical manifestation of the books.
You are right. Of course it could be secured tomorrow but nobody, not the most far right republican politians (I hope) , want a full scale military operation on US soil.

For the same reason we don't send Apache helicopters with hellfire missiles after gangs in cities. It doesn't even bear thinking about.

Around 1995 I built some configuration management software based on M4, because I thought it was cool! Actually, it didn't do much in the way of management, but it did allow the ISP I was working for at the time to provision a customer gateway in a single step. Saved me a lot of error-prone and rather boring hand-editing of configuration files... (and probably saved the company some money, who knows)

Imagine if Baidu tried to launch in the US. For most of us, we'd try it a few times for the novelty, but unless the product was knock-your-socks-off better, we'd keep getting stuck on things being a little quirky, a little unlike what we're used to, and eventually head back to Google or Bing.

It's going to take a lot of real customer data to smooth off those rough spots. Google and Facebook have run trillions of A/B tests in the English speaking world, but how many have they done in China? Yes, it's arguably just a matter of throwing money at the problem, but it still means the launch will be lackluster.

Also, I wonder how de-featured Google and Facebook would have to be on day 1 in China. This isn't a censorship thing, it's UGC and integration with local companies. Are you going to have enough advertisers to fill out things like the shopping carousels? Will Google's maps be as detailed as Baidu's cute pixel-art ones? Will any restaurant have more than four reviews?

Our family, divided by the Troubles (2016)
Take a look at Nerves built on Elixir which just hit 1.0. While Elixir is a new language the Beam VM has been around for a long time and is stable. Partly what makes it great for embedded dev is Mix and the fantastic dependency management combined with fwup. Those make the "set and forget" portion much easier. That and a great community on the Elixir slack channel.

Unfortunately the UI side of things is a bit of a pain still. Many Nerves people are using web ui’s served from rpi’s, or embedded chromium. There’s some people working on OpenGL rendering, which could be long term stable (presuming OpenGL survives...). Qt actually has great support for embedded GPU rendering sans X11. Its late and I don’t have links for these all, but Googling will bring them up. Not sure about PyQT as I’ve seen it’s support vary widely, as in QT5 support was hit and miss even a couple of years ago.

Last I heard, the “FarmBot" project uses Nerves and is open source. Also I’d recommend trying KiCad and building a few pcb’s. It’ll drastically increase the quality of your boards. JLC PCB, or Seeed Studios do 5 board packs for under $50.

Happy building!

They also did not have first-class functions.

Sure, for some values of 'did not'. What I'm getting at is (and I think, if I'm reading you right, so are you) this debate existed in a fairly specialized universe. There wasn't a time in the 80s where statistically anybody was grappling with the choice of lexical over dynamic scoping, at least, not for programs most people wrote or used. Block-structured languages were already the norm by then.
It’s unfortunate; this “let me interrupt you” tactic is one of the most annoying things to me.

And it doesn’t even have to be an ad. Seriously, things just need to stay out of the way. If I launch an app for instance, intent on doing something very specific, and unbeknownst to me it was updated recently, guess what? Instead of just letting me start what I opened the app to accomplish, the app decides to interrupt me with a scroll-up modal list of “what’s new!”. Well you know what, at that exact moment, I couldn’t care less what’s new and the interruption is annoying!!! Same with interstitial ads: there is absolutely no justification for shoving stuff in the viewer’s face. It instantly degrades the entire experience.
