You have a very small number of blocks of analog and digital functions that can be connected together in various ways. Cypress are not open source, but the tools are better than average (FWIW).

FPGA's are a pain because you get a gigantic quantum jump in complexity right away. For example--a system clock. Do you want a single one? Okay, now you have to deal with distributing that clock and dealing with termination and reflections. Do you have more than one? Okay, now you need to deal with synchronizers right out the chute.

For most hacker types, the Cypress chips are a MUCH better match to what they need to do. Generally these digital tasks break down into something like "Catch a very tight margin digital signal, respond with ACK and wait signal, and signal the core that something needs serviced." (example: communicate with a GPIB device) or "Have a tight feedback loop that receives slow commands" (example: PWM for a motor with an encoder).
Just in general, when optimizing for different latency use cases, looking at averages falls flat in a lot of cases. For instance you probably want fast startup, but how often does the startup code get executed?
There are several layers where a registrar has control over DNS resolution.

Terms:

ICANN: The organization responsible for coordinating the maintenance of the domain name system (among other things).

Registrar: A company authorized to update ICANN database on behalf of registrants. Google, GoDadddy, Enom, etc are registrars

Registrants: An entity that wants to register a domain name. In this case, Zoho is a registrant, but it could also be an individual. This is your role if you 'own' a domain.

Authoritative Name Server: A domain name server that is considered authoritative for a specific domain.

Stuff registrars can do (among other things):

1.) They can update the ICANN database to disable a domain completely[1]

2.) They can replace your authoritative name servers with their own or someone else's (ex: botnet domains being reassigned to a security company for dismantling via court order)[2]

3.) If the authoritative name servers for a domain are owned by the registrar, then the registrar can merely change the DNS entries themselves to point to something other than the domain owner's wishes.

Sure, but 6 months is nothing. I'm talking about years. If parents knew that in 5 years the times would change, they could adjust their work schedules over that timeperiod. Especially if everyone in the whole district knew, even the childless.

Adding on as one of the PicnicHealth founders.

Unfortunately, the kind of experiences described are extremely common in transfer-of-care settings. When we were starting PicnicHealth, my grandfather was in-and-out of several different ICUs. Preventable mistakes when moving between facilities and providers — inadvertently changed medication dosages, missed therapy regimens, un-transferred test results — created health emergencies that kept pushing him back further and further from recovery. He ultimately passed away. We had these problems around information management and transfer even though my dad (my grandfather's son) is a doctor, and was continuously in touch with the different care teams. Without a central, complete source of information, things will always get missed.

Patients and doctors deserve solutions to this problem today. Like the author said, you can only piece together a patient's medical history if you're willing to deal with records in any form, including faxing and scanning paper and mailing CDs. It's hard, dirty work, but it's the only way to get everything together. PicnicHealth does this so patients don't have to. And gathering the records is actually just the first part —you need to structure and normalize information in the different records so it's possible to do things like view trends and use control-find.

Full electronic interoperability is slowly coming, but it's been slowly coming for more than 20 years. I would be shocked if in 10 years faxes aren't still being sent. We need to push to make interoperability happen as quickly as possible, but in the meantime patients and their care can't wait.

How soon? I don't know of any software I've written for which that could be done. The first program I ever wrote was an implementation of Tic-Tac-Toe, and I can't imagine a set of parameters to produce that which aren't specifically for making games of that nature while also being easier to select than writing the code myself. I'd bet such a system is impossible in general, and that that should be the obvious conclusion.

Now, machine learning to find bugs or adjust variables... yeah. I can see that.

It's almost like we need a separate force to deal with many of the issues you're describing. It could probably lessen the load of traditional police forces and at a reduced cost.

Plus, there may be some social benefits to having a civic response force that does not wander the streets with loaded firearms.
Patients do have rights to the records, but as described, it's really hard to actually get them and keep them in a useful, accessible format.

I'm not sure what that link is supposed to explain. It does nothing to assert or rationalize a CoC, just offers up a few cloaked "whataboutisms". "Whatabout my responsibility if I have political power" is a whataboutism, with no moral reasoning (just an implication of my position is right, you just haven't thought about it enough to agree!)

The problem is that there's no actual consent, just simulacra. The GDPR doesn't say that you just have to "make it clear how user data is being used", it says the user must freely give consent, which means they must not only explicitly do so, as not giving consent must not mean the user loses access to services or content (see Recital 43).
I didn't say that it is.

My scenario assumed you still owed the $100k. If you live in a non-recourse state and just walk away, you're probably not going to be able to get a new mortgage.

I'd never heard of this, but it's an excellent concept that I try to apply to my daily living.

For example I accident-proof myself against spills by keeping a beverage in a place where it's unlikely to be knocked over, but if it is that the consequences are easy to deal with rather than soaking a keyboard or something. In physical terms it mostly boils down to minimizing the potential energy of everyday objects.

I'm typically out of touch with normal people so I'm probably proving your point, but this has pushed me off chrome and Google.

Ive always loved google. Installed chrome when it was released. I'm writing this from a pixel 2 XL because I broke my pixel 1 XL. I've had a Gmail account almost since it's been possible (I have my firstnamelastname@gmail.com).
I now use firefox. I don't know what mail I'll switch to, and I can't bring myself to an iPhone, but I'm leaving.

Google's increasing anti-user posture is enough, personified by the removal of their slogan "don't be evil". Legal move though it surely was, it's all too fitting.

Goodbye Google - you broke my heart.
I agree it's worth acknowledging that it is the tech crowd that is concerned, and that's exactly what we should expect. This was a stealth-release feature that doesn't really explain itself and has no clear way to disable. It seems completely reasonable that it is tech experts who are the ones to first notice this problem, and rightly criticize it.
It's not like content producing companies are these super profitable behemoths that are just greedy for $1 more. Not using ad trackers would your reduce your revenue by 50% at the minimum - it's how scaled advertisers spend money, if you're not doing it, you're not getting those advertisers. It is indeed a Hobson's choice - do it or stop providing whatever content it is the reader wants.
> "Best" is a combination of... - minimizing cost to the district (number of buses, etc)

No. The paragraph I quoted implies that the parents have some notion of "best" start times that has nothing to do with the district's perspectives. But the article makes no attempt to describe what that is! (Other than what I already mentioned and questioned.)

Child-care, and not having your kids practice football in the dark is the kind of thing that makes sense.

But what does school start time have to do with race and income?
I'm a mathematician, but I work on things that are not even remotely related to the Riemann hypothesis. I could not possibly weigh in on the validity of the proof. My colleagues who know this area better are extremely skeptical, in part due to their opinions of Atiyah's work over the last decade. Mathematically, the point of skepticism seems to be the existence of the Todd function with the properties that Atiyah requires in his proof. See [1] for an informed opinion.

Atiyah is one of the most influential living mathematicians. His prior contributions give him a prominent platform from which to announce this result, which has quickly generated a media firestorm. To me, the worst part is that the work doesn't stand alone---a proof is a proof when it is understood by a community of experts. Until it has been carefully evaluated, no one should be criticizing him due to his age or past failures, nor should they be celebrating his achievement.

"not a (document [created] by a process)"

vs

"not a document but (rather) a process"

In the former (as OP typed it), it's grammatically suspect but also seems to imply a missing "created" like I inserted. In that case it'd be ambiguous whether the OP feels requirements are not documents, or perhaps they are documents, just not ones "by a process".

In the latter, which I took to be the intended meaning, OP is saying "requirements are a process, not a document."

The "not X but Y" is grammatical and clear, equivalent to (boolean pseudocode) "Y && !X".

I don't see why folk are getting so frustrated about this Code of Conduct.

I'm far from a so-called SJW but to me it's just common sense written down and formalised.

Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:

Using welcoming and inclusive language

Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences

Gracefully accepting constructive criticism

Focusing on what is best for the community

Showing empathy towards other community members

What is wrong here? Isn't this how any professional should act in the workplace? Why shouldn't this apply to one of the largest open source projects around?

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances

Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks

Public or private harassment

Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission

Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Same here. Most of this is illegal and morally wrong to do inside (or even outside) the workplace too.

Seems like a few people getting annoyed over nothing.
Albania has a bunker problem
I had some legitimately scary things that may or may not be tracking but I cannot explain it without tracking. I watch some youtube video where the audio mentions a historic place of battle and then seconds later it shows up in my Google Chrome autosuggestion because I wanted to google some more information on it. I dont see how that is possible, it was a very specific location. I only typed "battle of" and it showed me the exact battle that was just mentioned in the video. I dont see how that is possible unless Google has transcribed the audio of all the videos automatically and uses it for search suggestions. It was nothing I ever searched before, in fact I searched many many other battles and places before that one so it would make more sense for it to show me something I searched previously.
Yeah, but my parents _understand_ Facebook collects/sells their data. But they don't _care_ enough to stop using Facebook.
> As far as I know, none of the critics have a Fields Medal or Abel Prize in their closet.

Few years ago when Atiyah was publishing his 12 page proof of Feit-Thompson theorem Serre (both Fields Medal and Abel price) said this:

I'm skeptical. From https://np.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/9i7sta/til_pa...:

Professional archaeologist checking in. I hate to spoil the party, but the argument this represents evidence of human occupation of North America 130 thousand years ago doesn't hold water.

First, there isn't even consensus that Homo sapiens left Africa by that time. Additionally, the preponderance of evidence shows humans didnt occupy fully glacial environments until 80+ thousand years later, which would be necessary to make it to NE Asia and North America. The claim they were in North America by 130 thousand years ago is inconsistent with all available archaeological and genetic evidence (a whole other topic).

Second, the argument that the "tools" and bone modification seen at this site were made by people doesn't hold up either. There are many natural processes that can mimic these types of breakage. There are diagnostic features of stone tools and broken bones produced by humans, but none of them are present on the objects Holen et al. point to.

Holen has a long history of making similar claims with no real evidence. He consistently fails to rule out obvious natural processes at sites he works at. I have personally seen him pick up a piece of naturally fractured fossil bone from a flood deposit and say "see, people." This is science by press release at it's worst, and there is good reason no other archaeologists accept his arguments. Unfortunately flashy headlines with extraordinary claims grab the press.

Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE for this to be true. Finding evidence for a much earlier occupation of North America would be super exciting. But as a responsible scientist, I have to go with the evidence.

There never were any specific developers. The post was about what developers can do if they feel they are unfairly pushed out of the community by the new CoC.

My take on the matter is that the Linux community in the past did a pretty good job of not accepting of talk of racism, misogyny, bigotry, and that this CoC will only be used as a political bludgeon.
I think it's visually apparent in Bowser's Castle when you've made progress vs. being sent back, which is kind of similar to some of the earlier maze fortresses like the first fortress in World 3. There are other levels that have doors or pipes that either do or don't send you somewhere useful.

But solving any of these mazes without a strategy guide will probably call for multiple lives because you almost certainly won't be able to find the complete solution in a single run-through. I think that's characteristic of many Super Mario 3 levels, though, because pipes and doors that send you backwards aren't that uncommon.

Other examples of tricky maze levels where you have to explore a lot:

6-5 (you have to fly while holding a Koopa shell in a place where it's not particularly obvious)

7 first fortress (again, you have to fly in one particular place in order to escape)

8 fortress (lots of backtracking, several different ways to solve it)

Edit: I didn't realize that when you said "the original" you were referring to Super Mario Bros. rather than Super Mario 3. I agree that 8-4 in the original Super Mario Bros. is a huge nuisance to figure out although I think you can get it with a degree of discipline, probably in only 1-3 lives. If I remember correctly, there are three branching points where you have to repeatedly choose passageways and you can be sent back if you chose the wrong one. I think the hardest branching point gives either 8 or 9 total possibilities, of which only one is correct.
