Yeah, I probably wouldn't be concerned about the cost of the actual chip but rather the cost of w/e dev board I would need for my hobbyist project. Maybe the complexity of wiring everything up if I were to put the microcontroller on a custom designed PCB.

> but it also compiles to ARM binary via LLVM for iOS applications

[disclaimer: I am TL for Dart Native Compilers]

We currently don't use LLVM for compiling Dart to native and we actually never used it in production - though we previously built couple of prototypes to evaluate potential benefits of using LLVM.

We use our own AOT compilation toolchain which has roots in our JIT compiler for Dart.

> meaning that compiling to WASM should be a trivial option

It's not really trivial because you still need to figure out some things - most importantly GC. On ARM you can scan the stack - on WASM you can't. They are working on GC support from WASM, but I don't think it is ready yet. And some things are just unfortunate (e.g. i31ref type which mimics V8's SMI - Dart SMI's are 63-bit on 64-bit platforms).
I'll be honest though, for a long time I resisted the Apple ecosystem because I used linux heavily and was an early adopter of Android... but in the general non-running smartwatch world, the competition from Android Wear is bleak. Pebble stood a chance, but we all know how that ended up.

It felt a little weird paying more for my Apple Watch than I did the iPhone SE it is paired with, but I've grown to really love them both. Sometimes the lockin enables cool stuff.

They can pry my iPhone SE from my cold, dead hands though. I could suffer through buying a nice Bluetooth adapter for my custom IEMs if I had to, but I won't get a phone that can't physically fit into a pocket - and I own pants that can't fit an iPhone X sized device.

At what point do we have a pilot match speed with the missile and cast a net?
"Microcontroller" refers to everything on the chip (usually, we would talk about it having a "core" roughly akin to memory + ALU + such, and "peripherals" which are on-chip dedicated hardware that migh be eg. I2C or USB communications, timers, ADCs, etc). What you're linking to we would call a "development board" (dev board), "demo board", "eval(uation) kit".

I don't consider the title misleading, as the article is aimed at the people who are designing their own (hobbyist probably, but not exclusively) boards, and will be integrating the chip, not a dev board, into their project.
It's because most software devs are beta males who are unable to express and stand up for their viewpoints. So their concerns get lost.
That's management's job, yes, but it turns out that managers get overloaded in tasks and some just drop on the floor.

1/3rd of it is providing your boss the information he needs to get his job done. (Staffing plans, status reports, distillation of technical issues and tradeoffs, etc.) 1/3rd of it is working with the rest of your team to run the department. (cross-team coordination, escalation, department initiatives, surfacing issues and solving problems.) The last third focuses on the team. Now, depending on the time of year and the composition of each team (new boss, new managers, new team members), the composition of the work can vary, but they each take up some time.

Sometimes, things just devolve into status reports and firefighting. If your manager was able to do that work, it means that the entire department was functional.

I try to do all of that. Some of it, I have to delegate.
> the amount needed to deter the behavior

What's happening here is that $5B is believed to be insufficient, and the market cap reaction to the announcement is proof of that. I'd be willing to believe that the fine deters future behavior if the market cap reacted negatively to the settlement, but celebration probably means it isn't enough
Not really. The rated life of sodium is 24,000 hours, and LED is 25,000. With a lot of money you can get LEDs with rated life up to 200,000 hours, but that's not typically what cities are buying.
This is my feeling also.

> What sort of features does a mail client need though?

How about a consistent, reliable implementation of modern web standards? If you had to write a mail client in Java, would you rather target Java 1.5 or the most recent version?

Many small (and large) features together make a huge difference when it all adds up to providing an implementation of modern web standards that is consistent with other browsers and with modern standards. It's a huge burden to always be checking "is this supported in IE11 or is there a polyfill we can use" when wanting to use a native function or object (not to mention features that can't be polyfilled or transpiled, like ES6 proxies).
On iOS it's obvious it uses emulated controls.

I think if you want a fully themed app that looks the same across all environments, you should go with Flutter.

If you want an app that looks the same as other native apps on the target environment, you should go with React Native.
The main difference between the brain and a CPU is that the brain runs at a much lower, variable clock speed (10-100Hz) to reduce switching costs and makes up for this with extensive pipelining and parallelization when possible. The high node count and necessary connectivity is then possible due to the use of directed self assembly.

At any rate, it is quite likely that the neocortex of the brain simply computes a function(s) recursively upon sensory input (see Chomsky's minimalist program for suggestions on what it could be). What is unclear is what this function is, and how it comes about - for this reason the approach by some has been to attempt to simulate an entire brain to see what it does. But without the necessary abstractions, this will be inherently wasteful and generates nothing new other than validating your experimental data.
How do you know one would eventually?
I believe that you missed the /s implied at the end.
> I always felt strange naming a software exactly the same name (in many language) as the field it operates in. Like naming a music creation software Music, or a biology related software Biology, etc.

The doctor gave me a Somnoguard AP2. I'm not entirely sure why it cost me $1000 from them... but that's what it cost from the doctor. Its clearly cheaper online. Perhaps I should have asked for a prescription from them and ordered online... but its too late now.

I also had a take-home sleep study, consultation fees, etc. etc. on there. I think that maybe I just didn't understand my options as a consumer and I did this suboptimally from a financial point of view.

In any case, the overall industry and regulations DON'T want you to be self-diagnosing things. I think it makes sense to go into a sleep doctor, and first order a take-home sleep study. You pretty much get some weird device hooked up into your nose and a few sensors on your head, and they'll take... some kind of sleep measurements. (Brainwaves? The nose thing probably was recording my breathing patterns, I dunno, I'm not a doctor. They did say a microphone was in the device too, so I guess they're recording the noises I make when I sleep).

I know some people with more extreme conditions may need to do a full-scale sleep study in a specific room. But these are more expensive. Its pretty much a hotel-room, except doctors are measuring all sorts of things while you sleep.

After those measurements, the sleep doctor probably will try and figure out which device is appropriate for you. Its pretty clear that the Somnoguard AP2 can only solve minor sleep apnea issues caused by tongue blocking during sleep: it just shifts the jaw forward by about 3mm to 5mm or so and holds it there during sleep.

----------

In any case, I'm overall happy that I've got my problem fixed. My only regrets is that I'm not really used to interacting with doctors. So I'm pretty sure I could have optimized my gameplan better and possibly negotiated a cheaper bill. But at least I've gained experience... I'll know what to do when my next health issue comes up.

Adjusted how?
I think they actually engineered it to not just involve obvious or optimal choices by each player, but to give them literally no other choice but to watch the machine do its calculation (or concede the game). They do this by causing all cards other than those needed for the machine to be removed from the game.
If you have a device drawing high current, you would probably use a contactor (high-power relay), and then you can use low current (or even low voltage) relay/triac to drive the contactor from your circuit.
Ask HN: How Compressed Is Netflix?
Recently I noticed that Amaazon Prime soundtracks seemed (anecdotally, for the small sanple size that I happened across in normal usage) to be vastly superior for surround sound than Netflix.

The this morning I noticed that Netflix app data usage in Android is 'restricted', which I can only assume is because it doesn't want us analysing the size of xGB sources.

Airbnb is highlighting a zoning problem that governments are unwilling to admit to themselves. Sublets and short term rentals existed long before before and most cities on Earth didn't care, but once a frictionless platform came along it suddenly was a problem.

My landlord kicked us out to run an airbnb fulltime after seeing how much a neighbour was earning. (Around New Years /Christmas you could easily bring in 2 months rent). Despite all this I hold no illwill towards Airbnb.

If any other basic need was chronically undersupplied due to government inaction people tend to riot, yet somehow housing gets a free pass.

Aggressive pushback usually ensures the other side will treat you as the enemy. Which sounds like what happened there - typical management hates developers and vice versa.

Ate they having bloted estimates or not shipping within estimates? Why there are such large features anyway? Why is manager not a ten member but instead someone who don't belong?

This right here is why I schedule myself for about 8 hours, but also have my alarm set with a snooze feature of 30 minutes. If I wake up but I don't feel done, I'll allow myself to snooze a few times before actually getting up.

It's simple, but surprisingly effective. I figure, all the studies in the world are nice, but listening to the signals my body gives me is probably the best approach. 30 minutes is about the length of one more REM cycle, and I tend to find that I dream most vividly during those snooze sessions, and wake up remarkably refreshed by the end of them.
Q&A with Rosalind Picard of MIT who pioneered “affective computing
Lowering the price will simply increase consumption (supply and demand). I don't see how making addictive poison cheaper is in any way positive for anyone least of all the users - most of whom will be addicts, not casual users.

FYI - people steal for dope not because it's insanely expensive, they steal because their lives are ruined and that's their recourse.

It's really nary impossible to make the case that we should be make super cheap opiates widely available. There is a reason (actually many) that it's essentially illegal everywhere on the planet wherein there is any form of governance.

The odd thing about the 'drugs debate' is how many very intelligent people have trouble with seeing the societal implications. To me the very debate itself is a fascinating social phenom, and I wonder what drives people to make odd arguments.
I'd emphasize that failure on a project like this may not be what you'd traditionally have in mind when thinking 'that project failed', though it happens and it could be that bad in the absolute worst case.

The issue is primarily that of the reward versus cost -- especially the opportunity cost.

When the system is rewritten, will the business have increased revenue or decreased cost? Will it do so significantly, surpassing at least the cost to rewrite (salaries, etc) -- that's the absolute minimum bar, but then you have to consider the opportunity cost which is the real concern:

If you had instead spent the same amount time adding new features, implementing an A/B test suite to increase conversions, improving marketing capabilities, retention mailers, or really any other activity that could positively impact the company business metrics -- would the impact be better than the impact of the rewrite?

In most cases the customers (internal or external) don't really know or care how good/bad the underlying code is, as long as the product serves their needs. When that's true, even partially, the value of 'rewrite' almost never exceeds the opportunity cost alone, let alone the absolute cost (and that's to say nothing of the risks).

My boss/friend just sat (passed) his PMP [0] exam and was talking to me about it as he learned. The main thing that I learned is that the amount of time they say you need to spend planning a thing is waaaaaaaaay longer than we’ve ever spent planning a thing. Orders of magnitude longer. And you plan it multiple times over, with rounds of stakeholder engagement, rounds of risk analysis, rounds of breaking it down and analysing each component and figuring out what it is and how long it will take and what can go wrong and the dependencies and so on and so forth ... and then going back and doing it again until you’re sure it’s correct.

Why do we, as an industry, expect to be able to run a project to schedule when we often give it the most cursory of glances in the planning stage? I work for a very large integrator and we don’t plan at all. We jump in and start while we’re ‘planning’. It’s absurd.

He and I have long said that if the people who built [hospitals|bridges|aeroplanes] behaved the way we did, the world would look very different [1]. Now, thanks to my recent PMP-by-proxy, I’m starting to understand.

The City of Chicago is funding a replacement of all it's sodium bulbs with LEDs solely off the energy cost savings [1]. I'm unsure what sodium lamps you're referring to that use a similar amount of energy as LEDs.

> The sodium lamps use roughly the same amount of energy

"The new LED lights will consume 50% less electricity than the existing High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lights. When fully implemented the new fixtures are estimated to save the City $10 million a year in utility costs. By consuming less electricity, the City is helping reduce its carbon footprint. LED fixtures last up to two-three times longer than HPS fixtures."

> cast a light quality that is better for both humans and animals

"Compared to HPS lights, LED lights make it easier to see the contrast between an object and its surroundings; so one can quickly and more accurately identify people, vehicles, road debris or other things on the street or sidewalk. The whiter light also enhances peripheral vision and improves the quality of video resolution"

Are you saying there is trust between you and developers? Cause you surely don't trust them and the way you describe their communication sounds like they don't trust you.

Also, if they give you non-padded estimate, that is the one they will occasionally miss, will typical manager of your company force them to work weekends and evenings or otherwise punish them? Or will typical be ok with it and accept it as risk factor?

I am asking because the one manager that complained about paddings was the one that took pride in manipulating people into weekends - including by claiming they promised it. I do tight estimates when I know I can be late and generous when I assume it will be law or don't trust management.
I've actually come around to the opposite conclusion over the course of my career: everything should be hard-coded by default (tho using a well-named variable/constant/identifier).

Lots of businesses are desperate for cross platform mobile dev (I'm not looking at you <really well funded tech company with slick native apps>), it seems to be an inevitability at this point.

In the meantime React Native has come along and I don't think it's made a good name for itself in the mobile dev world. RN projects get littered with poorly implemented third party libraries that aim to bridge a piece of native functionality or SDK into the react context. I've just spent the last 6 months as a contractor running around fixing companies' RN apps for Android that had obscure build issues and dependency problems, along with all the weird UI stuff that just doesn't work the same as it does on iOS and it's not been fun.

After playing with Flutter for a bit it looks great. I just hope it isn't susceptible to the same issues I faced with React Native.
