I'm very new to this concept of bootloaders for embedded processors so bare with me. The answer that best aligns to your question is "trying to initialize the processor prior to running to application code".

Some of the critical tasks I would like my bootloader to cover are...
1) Initialize critical parts of the processor (oscillators, clock branches, peripheral enables, etc..)
2) Initialize a few peripherals like UART to provide some useful "readable" output during this process

Some additional "would be nice" features I would like to do are...
1) Load an application from a SD card
2) Parse over the application executable for validity purposes

This is a very poor and incorrect reading of the article here. The point is not that the data were unlikely and should be thrown out; it's that if the effect size reported was accurate, that would affect so many other things so strongly that the current state of civilization refutes the estimated effect size from the study.

It's not that the data was poor, but that it and the analysis was incomplete and ill considered.

In psychology in particular, large effects will seep into everyday life well beyond the phenomena being studied, which gives a very useful check on astronomical effects like those originally reported on judges and time of day.
Both GitHub and GitLab have built in wiki systems that support Markdown. They also support editing them in a proper editor and using git for revision control.

That said, these solutions are probably geared more towards developers, whereas in a conventional organization, many people (i.e. business folk) usually prefer a browser based solution that provides a similar experience to that of a word processor.

I never liked Confluence, but seeing as the Atlassian suite has become the de-facto industry standard, it's hard to beat its integration advantages with JIRA and such. Better a sucky single source of truth than a disparate array of wonderful solutions.

Also I think the latest versions with the UI lift are pretty good (and they support Markdown finally).
I see it all the time with PayPal (to the point where I wouldn't be suspicious of Steam doing it).

Not all "groundwater use by cities is more economically productive than it's use by agriculture". People use hoses to wash cars and sidewalks. How about an auction system, with a cash subsidy to allow the poor to buy enough for hydration and basic hygiene?
Great question.

1. Let me give you an example. We were using GitHub and all the embed functionality was working fine because we were using it every day. But we did not use Asana or Trello. Then we decided to use this platforms as well in order to check UX there. And as soon as we did it, we've noticed performance issues, bugs etc. As soon as we redo those integrations, we noticed better conversion. Besides, it happens that an external tool changes something in their interface and our embed controls may disappear or simply will look bad. We can't wait for customers to point on this. In addition, we asked e.g. Asana to include us into an early adapters list when they do some A/B testing or release Beta feature.

2. I can not say that we strictly adhere to some methodology. Just trying to think over any new feature, ask the opinion of our customers, early release with the limited functionality. If there is a demand - we are refining. If not, we think what we did wrong and can redo it completely or even deprecate.
It sounds like ML, just like Glass might be a flop based on yesterday's HN ML review post. Though, it could be like the Newton, it's GOING to happen, but it will take another 25 years of technical innovation.

Clickbait headline and buried lede. This paragraph summarizes what the primary driver is:

> World-wide, the number of M.B.A. applications was flat from 2017, partly because of an increase in students looking to pursue their degrees in Europe and Asia, according to the GMAC survey. Applications surged 8% to schools in Canada and 9% to schools in East and South Asia.

Canada surging by 8% is not because schools in Canada are suddenly better than US counterparts. It is because of US policy and rhetoric under Trump.

The relative loss of talent wanting to work here will hurt us. Consider that the CEOs of Google and Microsoft are all foreign born holders of MBAs.

Edit: removed Elon Musk from MBA list. He studied business as part of his undergrad from Wharton.
That's news to me...
Also news to some of the biggest hits ever, like Minecraft.
> Recently I converted the C++ part to C, which halved the size of the wasm file.

So you are saying that "costless" abstractions of C++ actually had some cost? Who would have thought.
Was this part of the datasheet of the chip? Perhaps I've missed this section but I've never recalled the datasheet including this information. Is this usually covered in a separate application note or whitepaper?
I think my point was about perspective. When you’re so high up, you’d think they get some perspective of which fights to pick and which ones aren’t worth their time.
I believe Nintendo did this first in the 1980s with their Famicom disk drive. Players were able to buy games at a kiosk which copied the games to a floppy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULRz20droeg

They don’t blame it on Trump though. And I’m not stating that they don’t lean left (and it’s likely that they do).

I drove from Detroit to Toronto via Windsor, and was subjected to a vehicle search and questioning. I pulled up my hotel reservation at the agents' request, and he snatched my phone out of my hands and started going through my emails. He couldn't wrap his head around why anyone would want to take a roadtrip to toronto for an extended weekend, other than to run drugs. I've also been interrogated when flying into Canada for work. Canadian border security is notorious for this kind of stuff.

Many (most?) NDAs between companies represented by competent counsel do have notification provisions (if Company A is compelled to disclose information covered under the A/B NDA, Company A is required to inform Company B of the fact [unless legally prohibited from doing so.])

If you watch the show "Border Security: Canada's Front Line" you will see how often this is the norm. It's on Netflix as well.

I really think these are dangerous times and for some reason I only ever expected this from the US but never from Canada or New Zealand.
The reasons given in the article make a lot of sense to me. In a generally strong job market (among those likely to attend business school), taking 1 to 2 years off is a tougher sell, Also noted is that students already have more debt on average making taking on more tougher. There are new specialized degrees of various kinds.

I also sense, though I don't have specific data, that a lot of jobs that traditionally required an MBA because reasons, no longer do so. It may still be valued but perhaps not to the point of being effectively required.
Yeah land subsidence is also big in so many places and can cause permanent structural damage to the building or infrastructure.
>"I suck at statistics and won't make a good formal scientist"

Most really good science got done before statistics was even a thing (starting in the 1930s-1940s). Stats has very little to do with being a good scientist.

While I generally agree with some of the sentiments expressed here -- such as "People who have nothing to hide still shut their bathroom door." -- maybe we could lighten up and not pile onto this comment, given that it is on the side of not really wanting to give over this info and having cleaned out the phone recently, etc.

Focusing entirely on that one phrase -- I have nothing to hide -- twists the meaning intended, I think, especially given the manner in which it is being done here.
Yes, that's the actual problem.
It might have been a big hint when they dropped “Computer” from their name.

But more importantly, Apple has always been a personal computer company. Not an enterprise computer company. What’s more personal than a phone running a real computer operating system in your pocket? More people (ie the “personal”) buy iPhones + iPads in one year than Apple has sold traditional computers in the last decade. If not, the numbers should be close.

If I may elaborate, cheap (subsidized?) access to water in agriculture is what makes food products as cheap as they are today. Any water scarcity applied to agriculture will affect the cities through higher food prices.
At 8pm it's still estimates, the official results usually come after a few days.
Yes. Because it's too intrusive to search people's phones without probable cause and a warrant. I don't doubt that searching everyone's phone will result in criminal convictions. I do doubt the value to society in doing that.

3d printed guns are a simple bug in US law -- guns are controlled, but ammunition is not. Easy fix, make the ammo require a permit. Homemade guns are no longer a problem.

I wouldn't like this. but for sure i'd do the exact same. a lot of criminals are dumb or not careful enough. they will catch a few baddies no doubt.
I second Lyons. In addition, "Digital Signal Processing: A Practical Guide" by Steven Smith is also quite approachable -- immersion in calculus not required.

"A Digital Signal Processing Primer" by Ken Steiglitz is a nice but rigorous intro to the subject. Written by an EE academic, it's more mathematically rigorous than Smith or Lyons.

Allen Downey's "Think DSP" is also worth a look, though its focus is more conceptual than practical, IMO.
I read the GP as accusing the article of that old trick of making a point (that facts don't convince people) by dissertating about a different, just slightly related issue (how facts don't convince people). People do that a lot, even instinctively, as it saves both the labor of going out and gathering actual evidence and the risk of being called a liar.

Yet, after a quick dissertation on his point he goes out and does the same thing by arguing about the political views of the author...

Thus, I don't think your complaint is fair. You could complain about hypocrisy, but that's not productive. I do think he is correct in questioning the article premises...

Anyway, after seeing all the reaction to the GP, I'm inclined to think your point is also correct, about people turning things into identity politics too.
Two reasons:

1. Given the limited number of H1-Bs, there's only a ~35% chance we'll be able to get the application approved.

2. New H-1B applications will only be accepted in April 2019, but we're looking to hire now.

I understand validating the `Host` header but my understanding that the referer field is optional and theres quite a few users who either block referer headers for privacy/anti-tracking purposes. Would this stop those users from accessing the site also?
