I don't see a microkernel architecture here.
Requiring drivers to be loadable modules is just arriving in the 1990s of monolithic kernels.
Also, only new devices with SoCs introduced for Android 9 are required to use kernel modules and kernels newer than 3.18. [1]

This means most (updated) Android 8 devices in the field are not Project Treble and are running old-style module-less kernels and don't have A/B system partitions.

HALs only seem to be there to abstract over the APIs of different hardware implementations and access to them. Not necessarily their drivers.

I would love to be wrong about this, so I would really appreciate evidence to the contrary here.

Ask HN: Advice on a passion project in a small (but growing) market
tl;dr; I'm building a fitness tracker for rock climbers[1] that will be sold though rock climbing gyms. The climbing gym market is small and we have heavy up front costs to bring to market. I'm looking for advice in getting past this hurdle.

Two years ago I gave a talk at a tech conference called "Lessons learned prototyping a wearable for rock climbers with Node." I'm an avid rock climber and I was looking for a way to connect climbing with my passion for tech as well as find a project that would give me a chance to learn more about hardware and embedded systems programming. I continued working on the project after the talk and have made a good bit of progress but I'm at a critical point where I need to decide if I should continue with this project and if so, how to fund it.

The climbing industry is still relatively small (~600 gyms in the US, thousands more in Europe). The sport will have a debut in the 2020 Olympics and there are a number of new rock gyms that are sprouting up each year so the overall outlook of the industry is positive. I have 20 prototypes that I'm currently testing at one gym and three more gyms that have offered to test.

My buddy and I both have full time jobs and do this for fun on the side. I'd be happy to continue to bootstrap this project, but we have several hefty costs (in the hundreds of thousands) that we're going to get hit with if we want to bring this product to market including injection mold tooling costs, FCC certification, first batch of units, some (expensive) final engineering work, etc.

Does anyone have experience getting over this hurdle in a hardware project? The original intent of the project was to build something cool with no real dreams of turning it into a business, but in order to actually make the idea a reality I don't see another path. We need gyms to be on board and in order to do that we have to be able to provide them with a polished (not 3D printed) product.

Sounds very close to ex post facto
Just walking down the street in London, it's usually possible to tell tourist from local by clothing. I doubt I could express it in detail but Northern europe has still fairly distinct tops that younjust don't see much.

I mean, on the switch, the filesystem is incredibly slow, and the GPU drivers use a ported version of Linux's Nvidia DRM drivers that runs most of the driver in the same process as the user code. So the only place where they've really optimized for performance between subsystems, they took a more exokernel like model.
Hey I'm one of the Console devs who's been working on this feature for a while now. I'll be hanging around in the comments for a little while to try and answer any questions that people might have.

TL;DR of this announcement: We've added a new pseudoconsole feature to the Windows Console that will the people create "Terminal" applications on Windows very similarly to how they work on *nix. Terminals will be able to interact with the conpty using only a stream of characters, while commandline applications will be able to keep using the entire console API surface as they always have.
I agree. On the other hand, it is lowering mental effort required to study the topic, and that will probably not make every student more clever, maybe more lazy, just waiting for the next youtube video to be told new stuff about maths instead of going research and study on its own.

> Turns out the 'stopping power' of handguns is largely the same regardless of caliber

This is absolutely false. Compare a .22 round to 10mm. You can probably be shot by .22 ten times or more and walk away. A 10mm round will stop an elephant on bath salts. Both can be shot from handguns.

In California you will have the same number of rounds in your 9mm Glock 17 (10) as you will in your .45 ACP Glock 21 (10).

In any case you are only limited by how many rounds you can carry, modern semiautomatic pistols can be reloaded in two seconds.

If I understand correctly, plenty of research shows that it's an impulsive decision, and access to a tool that makes it easy greatly increases the likelihood of acting on it. The research shows that the presence of guns, in particular, in increases suicide. Killing yourself is hard; a gun makes it a push-button operation.

However, it would be much better if someone could share the actual research with us.
Is this equivalent to each node representing a memory state?

Seems like it would not solve rtkwe's concern. In their example using tuples make a node state equal (S, COUNT_OF_DAYS), (R, COUNT_OF_DAYS)? You would still need an infinite amount of nodes to represent an infinite precision integer state.

Interesting question. Answer: The former. However, there is another product loosely called buttermilk by some, here. It is just curd (Indian term for yoghurt) diluted with water and maybe stirred or whisked a bit to mix up the water well with the curd. If you can't get the former, you can easily make this with curd you have at home. The real buttermilk is usually salted slightly. The one made from curd can be had either salty or sweet by adding sugar.
Content aside, the usability of this layout needs some work. Its very "page-focused" with each image having a small bit of overlaid text content, but the breaks between pages are impossible to tell because the actual content only scrolls a tiny vertical amount and then suddenly changes pages before fading in the next bit of text. Using page up/down jumps to random spots instead of to a natural break with the next page/text centered. It takes more then one entire scroll on my mouse to move less than one page and I found myself furiously scrolling the wheel just to move through the article at an appropriate reading pace.

NYT does these kind of scrolling picture stories but at least in those its long-form content interspersed with images and it scrolls at a "normal" pace for most of the article.

Countries in Europe with higher suicide rates than the US:

Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Latvia, Hungary, Slovenia, Ukraine, Estonia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria.

Countries with nearly as high of a suicide rate:

Germany, Czech, Portugal, Iceland

Countries in Europe with high suicide rates, but solidly below the US:

Slovakia, Denmark, Netherlands, Ireland, Romania, Norway

All of these nations have higher suicide rates today than the US did in the late 1990s.

So is the premise that the US would have a far lower rate of suicide than European nations if guns were more tightly controlled, or would people in the US commit suicide in other ways as they do in European nations?
She totally could have. But other means of suicide give family and bystanders a chance to intervene. Pills and alcohol can be pumped out of the stomach. You can be pulled down from the edge of a bridge. You can rescue yourself from a hanging if you find you have last minute regrets.

A gun is brutally efficient at killing you; Load and pull the trigger. If the gun is lying around loaded, all you have to do is pick it up and pull. A gentle flick of the finger and it's over.

My opinion may be controversial, but I never understood this logic... I live in New Zealand at the moment. I am not Kiwi though, my wife and I moved from Russia. And I disagree.

First, stats show that foreign buyers own ~3% of homes. Everything else is kiwi-owned.

Second, there is another thing going on here -- KiwiBuild. Basically, government funds and builds 'affordable houses'. Prices (in NZD) are $500-650k, but now they want to have even more affordable houses - $300k. For comparison, actual average house price in Auckland is above $1kk.

My wife and I work really hard, NZ is not our country, English is not our language, the culture is different, we have nothing to inherit here. Why should we pay (with our taxes) for poor kiwis who can't afford a house? Shouldn't they work harder instead? Get education, get better job.

We wish we could buy a $1kk+ house in Auckland too, but we can't. If you can't afford a house, then buy an apartment because they are much cheaper. Yes, it is not that fancy, but at least you'll have a place to live in.

I mean, yeah, Labour party is in power in NZ at the moment, hence such policies like 'Let's increase salaries to poor workers, let's give them houses, let's increase maternity leave etc.'. The problem is that somebody has to pay for that.

UPD: another problem in my opinion is that Kiwi culture is very different. NZ is isolated from the rest of the world. It is very quiet here, people are very relaxed, everything goes slow. People are not used to work hard (in my opinion). It is common here to spend a year or two doing nothing, just traveling around the world after graduation. Many people don't want to build a career, they want to 'try many different jobs, find themselves, enjoy life'. Many people live with their parents, start thinking about career at the age of 30-35. At work, if it is 4pm (sometimes 5pm) -- people just leave and go home. "We have an urgent task" here means that it must be done within a week. In schools they teach children that everyone is a winner -- even if you have poor marks. Also, if there are any competitive games/sports, then sometimes they make it that the winner is not the one who actually won, but the one whose turn today is. And so on. Hence many people here, when they grow up, are not used to fight for survival. Just enjoy their quiet life in a beautiful country. But then they are 35, have no money, no career, but want a fancy house...

Sorry if I'm being too harsh, don't mean to offend. But this is my take on Kiwi culture, the way I see it as a non-native.

That's more-or-less what I concluded after reading II, too, and why I never made a serious go of it. With the amount of money I had to play with, even if I managed to double market returns, which I assumed was a very optimistic outcome, it would still be a lower return on my time, in terms of $ per hour, than just working the occasional contract job after hours.
Why do you think this disproves pilot wave theory?

> Physicists also compulsorily reject Bohm’s construction because it explicitly builds nonlocality into its framework—even though violations of Bell’s inequality have conclusively shown that the stage of our universe is nonlocal. This is perplexing. Nonlocality is unavoidable in any theory that recovers the predictions of quantum theory. Therefore, any criticism of a theory that displays Nature’s nonlocal feature in an obvious way is both unfounded and counterproductive. Despite this, Bohm’s inherent explication of nonlocality continues to be obnoxiously mistaken as a strike against it instead of for it.
Catalytic applications require finely tuned pore sizes and carbon may be more inert than the typical zeolite composition. Carbon is also probably electrically conductive, so it may be a basis for improved or different catalysts for fuel cells and battery electrodes.

Just a first guess, and catalysts/batteries are an expertise so that's just where my mind goes first. I'm sure there are others.
Yes, and the trick is to supersaturate your blood & tissues with vastly greater amounts of O2 than normal, and also to reduce your oxygen consumption rate.

I only listed 2. Public parks and rest stops. Rest stops are public.

So if you're a billionaire, you can run an ad campaign for yourself (either as a candidate or to promote issues you care about), but several thousand citizens can't come together to crowdfund an ad campaign to talk about the same thing?

Show HN: Automatic reminders not to leave your YubiKey plugged in at work
I used to use these sauces a lot, as a student in the UK and for a few years after.

There's a scale:

1. Prepare everything from scratch.

For anything that isn't fairly simple, this is reserved for special occasions.

2. Use pre-prepared sauces like Patak's (there are also cheaper ones)

This still feels like "cooking", and scales up nicely to multiple hungry students without costing much more.

3. Microwave a chilled ready-meal [2]

There's a big price range for this, say £1-6 per portion. The cheap ones aren't very nice, and the expensive ones were too expensive as students, but were fine if I felt lazy once I had a job.

4. Order take-away.

I couldn't afford this.

5. Pour boiling water over instant noodles.

No-one admits to doing this sober.

Nobody claims faults of core functions must be survivable in microkernel designs. The restarting of driver processes is a nice trick, but in the end the isolation and clean interfacing are particularly useful in an imperfect world.

The goal is to minimize the trusted computing base (TCB) so that it is, at least to some degree, verifiably correct. Then tack on features using isolated components.

To me, the article reads like Steam Play could be a wrapper over WINE and maybe DXVK (or similar).

That would be awesome! Tools like PlayOnLinux and Lutris already exist, and are met with so much love from anyone I introduce to them.

The community around windows on linux gaming could use support from a large player like steam. If it increases adoption of linux as well, it will help improve wider adoption of native Linux gaming further.

I have been using WINE for gaming exclusively since I started gaming a couple years ago. It has always been a pleasant experience for me.

I am excited for the future and optimistic about this speculation. It's not "year of the linux desktop" (cellphones might mean that never comes), but it is always nice to see better, user-friendly resources.
