Last time I read about this [1], the firmware had some issues that prevented the boot process from working 100% reliable. Do you have any experience with network booting the RPi?

Even when I was writing C, I had different modules in different files, only exposed certain functions via the header files and had structs with function pointers that did different things based on how the struct was initialized.

This was before I knew anything about OOP. How is this any different than object oriented programming?
Yet it seems like it sets a less dangerous precedent than heavy handedly seizing a domain via ICANN and closing down poker sites that had no presence at all in the USA. Similar for torrent and streaming sites, or Kim Dotcom. Perhaps the UK should have adopted the heavy handed US approach instead?

Nations, including and often starting with the USA, want internet companies to obey their laws. That shouldn't still surprise.

In the case of less savoury regimes I would prefer that Facebook, Google or whoever would respond ethically and choose to withdraw rather than compromise thousands of people to make a few extra dollars. Better yet I'd prefer that data sharing with such places was legislated against.
A few stories on my blog got to the front page. What they have in common is that they appeal to a broad audience.

I remember a Bloomberg developer talk where they showed the price change as the news hit various outlets. Small move when it hit the BB terminal, a little more when Reuters, big movement when the major media outlets. Made me want to get the BB terminal, if it weren't for the price!

I do do feel that this is an unsolved problem, because capturing structure, behavior and temporarily in any sort of meaningful visual drawing is difficult. Even structure itself alone with its deep nesting is complex to depict.
This an insightful post -- but I think there's one key characteristic missing that Wall Street cares about still more, and that's growth.

Traditional products like Office 365 may be sold as a subscription, but the market is largely saturated. Its growth is primarily dependent on productivity device growth. "True" cloud products, whether serverless or lift and shift of existing workloads, have much higher growth potential since a large percentage of the attachable market is still unreached.

That's why it's a little disingenuous for Microsoft to claim products like Office 365 and Dynamics 365 as cloud revenue. For many years before the cloud was a thing, they earned that revenue in the form of Enterprise Agreements: which are essentially three-year subscriptions for the same products.
I have used or looked into past and existing services that attempted some or all of these features. Every client project is different and a client typically already has their own preferred stack for communication, onboarding and payments. As a freelancer, I already use services like Gusto and Harvest and don't want to consolidate into a single platform (they do what they do very well).

So the only thing you can really offer that freelancers would pay for is really good leads. IMO that will be very hard to package as a SaaS service. Look at LinkedIn Pro Finder - it takes a "client" 2 minutes to fill out a project request and about the same for a freelancer to respond. Most people are just messing around, very few are serious or have a real budget or project.

I know people who pay individuals (also freelancers) to find leads and generate business. You could do that but how do you scale it? If you charge a monthly fee then how long will people stay signed up without any leads? If you charge a percentage based on a project, how do you verify the cost of the project? What if it's hourly for an indeterminate period?

As far as how much we make it varies from small projects in the 20-30k range to over 100k for bigger projects.

With some exceptions I downvote any comment that complains about downvotes. I'm not 100% comfortable about it, and I might change my approach, but so far rigorously applying the rules seems to be working. I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one to do so.
I apologize! my retort was dismissive and not beneficial to solidifying my theory.

I agree the effects of at least earths gravity is “small”; I wouldn’t say negligible.

When dealing with predictions of a spin on an electron through a scattering process, even the smallest interference will skew your result.

We have a hard time trying to measure or detect gravity; I have a theory if you perform the entanglement process on earth and then tried to detangle the message on the moon, your results would be different. Or even better on a moon of Jupiter!

The same reason people say it would be impossible to modify an entangled qubit. Since the reversal of the scatter would end up with a different wave pattern.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! I’m hungry for some intelligent debate.
If it wasn't for Robert J. Sawyer's WWW trilogy I would never have heard of "the bicameral mind". The first book in particular is brimming with it.
They don't "do nothing" - they define structure that can then be used to handle more implementation later. It's a ridiculous, contrived example, and you know that.

Yes – this code is stupid if all you need to implement is a single line with the ability for a player to hit a monster. But that's never what you are implementing, is it?

Same problem here - deviated septum is such an annoyance. I find I often have to breathe out of my mouth as breathing out of my nose is sometimes not possible as one or both nostrils are frequently unusable.

> Does anyone have any insights as to what the current status is for transistors based on light?

It's a good question, but there is something often ignored in press-releases about photonic transistors: How exactly does a speedup occur?

For example: Photons do not interact with each other, so a photonic transistor will rely on electrons or holes to effect some sort of interaction between photons. That interaction might occur in a photorefractive material, but ultimately the photorefraction is a result of photons interacting with electrons of the underlying material. So why are the electrons in the photorefractive material faster than the electrons in a conventional transistor? It also might be worth noting that the fastest fT in conventional transistors is around 0.5 THz, so the bar is not particularly low.

FD: I have a patent on photonic transistors from Bell Labs days.

FD2: I have become an old cynic on photonic transistors.

FD3: The above is really a rant on high-speed transistors. Photonic transistors might well have a superiority in different areas, eg quantum computing.
Huh? A comfortable ride means the track needs to be straight - especially at high speeds.

I've published a couple conference papers. I found the process to be slow and frustrating. The quality of feedback from reviewers was extremely low. The effort to write a paper in the ultra-dry, tedious style of academia was great with the payoff of making the papers almost unreadable while obscuring the ideas presented.

Also, there's some expense involved. When I wrote papers I had an employer that paid my way to conferences. That is no longer the case. Journals don't require the same expenses, unless you want your work to be available through open access rather than locked into a single issue that will be read by maybe three people, ever. Open access usually costs the author money, meaning it's not really open.

For my next publications, I'm not going to go the academic route. It looks good on the CV but otherwise doesn't serve my purposes. YMMV of course but think about what you want before committing to an approach that these days appears to be designed more to boost the publication credits of academics than to actually spread knowledge.

The information hiding and namespacing aspects of objects are really useful, both in theory and in practice. It's just that I think that implementation inheritance is an imperfect way of facilitating code reuse and not something you should teach to new students...

And most professionals agree with you. “Prefer aggregation over inheritance.”

Which by the way Resharper makes really easy. You add a private variable to your class of the type you want to aggregate and it creates wrapper methods in your aggregating class that just calls your other class.

> do not try to run Raspberry Pi from SD cards in "production" under any circumstances on a large scale

Can't confirm. I've written about this before, but I'm mainly responsible for running the https://info-beamer.com digital signage service. It's using a custom Linux distribution that always boots into an R/O system. All user content is on a separate partition that can always be restored if there's any error. The ext4 fs is tuned in a way that the kernel defers writes quite a while to minimize write access if possible. Since customers purchase their own SD cards, we have limited control of what ends up in a device. I've seen exactly one SD card related problem thus far. There are devices that have been running >3 years 24/7, so it's doable. But you can't just use Raspbian. You have to properly design the system.
Man, it seems like you totally lost connection with technology. There is no value in an architect who doesn’t code (none, if you think otherwise you’ve worked too long in enterprises that don’t deliver enough value to stay relevant the coming years).
Just use whatever drawing tools you know and draw up your diagrams. Should never take you hours to draw them up. How complex are they? If they take you so long, you probably are documenting way too much or are using way too complex architectures.

I feel the solution to your problem is more in the application than the tools. Try moving towards architectures like micro services. KISS.
Then use the time you’re freeing up to keep connected to your developers and write code.

It could still be argued that the difference is in degree rather than in kind- that the 'extra bandwidth connecting his senses' allowed him to clearly articulate as sensation a phenomenon much more subconscious in the typical patron's mind.
It's not a tool (though there is the Structurizr tool), I like the c4model: http://c4model.com

C4 provides an approach with multiple layers, which is good for talking about architecture at different levels with different people. I also happen to like the Container diagram approach.

> OOP is here to stay because it is the default model of how we see the world

A common but false statement. Firstly, there is no standard definition of OOP, only loose sets of features that define various overlapping but disjoint paradigms that some subset of people call OO. So your statement is meaningless as there is no single OOP that we identify as how "people see the world".

Secondly, even given any specific definition of OOP, it's also false. There are many programs that simply aren't suited to OO modelling, because you want to express things as the problem being solved actually requires, and this is often not OO. Sometimes pattern matching is best (compilers), sometimes reactive/event paradigm is best (servers, UIs), and neither of these are OO, as but two examples.

And don't take my word for it, there are a few studies on novice programmers showing quite clearly that event-based temporal reactive primitives are what people find most intuitively natural, ie. when account balance <= O then do some action, which is a declarative reactive action that will execute when that condition becomes true. This is not an OO program in any sense.

What do you mean? It wouldn't be "if". You'd just have

function hit(p::Player, m::Goblin)
...
end
function hit(p::Player, o::Ogre)
...
end

In Julia, there's limited inheritance, so you could group monsters in a hierarchy to limit the redundancy (eg. Goblin <: Monster <: Creature). Or you can use multiple dispatch like a trait system, to get even greater flexibility.

This technique appears to habe cured my physical anxiety. I learned of it six weeks ago, and had had such anxiety for two years post burnout. Now it's gone. I'm amazed.

There were a couple other things that may have helped. I wrote down my main source of worry, and considered it in depth, worst case, odds, how to recover, and it became clear that it's not actually an urgent problem.

Don't know which one had the greater effect, I did both at once. But I could feel the 4*4 breathing blocking a physical anxiety response in the middle of one happening.

Show HN: SAMSON is your personal molecular modeling solution
SAMSON is your personalized solution for molecular modeling.

Even though computational molecular modeling has existed for decades, it's still either too expensive (thousands of dollars per user per year), too painful (tons of free, open source software that's hard to install, use, combine, pipeline, etc.), or both.

SAMSON solves this problem by letting you build your own molecular modeling solution in a simple and cost-effective way: simply install SAMSON and subscribe to just the SAMSON Elements - molecular modeling tools and services - you need to design drugs, materials, nanosystems and more.

If you're a developer, you can use the SAMSON SDK to create SAMSON Elements and sell them on SAMSON Connect at https://www.samson-connect.net.

The problem is that it's an artificial example, in reality you'll ave a lot of different monsters, weapons, and most importantly separate subsystems. I.e. physics processed in one pass, animation in another, same goes for custom logic and rendering.

Modern game engines use component systems that put data first for the same reasons author described in the post.
fT for the fastest transistor - probably isn't the parameter limiting electronic circuits - it's more about wire length and capacitance, and power density of a circuit. It's both true inside circuits, but also outside, at the "memory wall" - which on the surface at least, seems particularly fitting for photonics.

Not to be too trite, but I’d guess there’s a reason (in the US at least) that calling someone a “mouth-breather” is an insult, generally implying that someone is uncouth and of low intellect.

I remember learning in high school biology class the physiological benefits of breathing through the nose. There’s a whole series of processes that go on in the nose — air filtration, warming, pheromone scent triggering, etc. that’s bypassed when we breathe through the mouth.

Dia/visio for general diagrams and ArgoUML/plantUML for sequence diagrams. I found that the only useful UML diagram is the sequence diagram, that really needs a dedicated tool to draw.

PlantUML has simple text markup to describe diagram. It's easier than drawing and it can be integrated in documentation and generated on the fly (sphinx, wiki, doxygen).

And last but not least, ascii diagrams with http://asciiflow.com/ . The ASCII art diagram is the only format that can be integrated flawlessly into any email or documentation.

There could be many different issues that could arise, it depends on the person. I will note an experience that I had.

I had been doing a Viniyoga practice for 1 or 2 years. I do pranayama in my asana (the physical exercises) and at this time I was not doing a separate pranayama practice. My teacher changed the pranayama in my practice and I became ill as if having a bad flu and I had some nasty boils break out on my legs. In retrospect, I needed to do some detoxing before doing this type of pranayama. My teacher kept me away from doing that pranayama for one or two years. Now I can, and have, been doing advanced pranayama for many years with no issues. I do this mostly in my asana practice but I do have seperate pranayama practices that I can do as well.

Eight Theses Regarding the Society of the Disciplinary Spectacle
Speaking of biometrics: anyone remember that Vietnamese shop (Bkav) who made a big stir out of breaking Face ID a week after launch? Was that ever independently verified, or has anyone else broken Face ID a year later?

I remember there being a lot of skepticism about their claim because they didn’t go into that much technical detail, but rather seemed more interested in winning press and fame (as well as being incredibly boastful about it).

Hopefully someone knows about the current state of Face ID security better than I do, since I’ve been a little out of the loop.
