I have a few.

1) PiHole. I'm upgrading this to a RasPi4 and seeing if I can also merge 2) 5) and 6) into it.

2) NAS/VPN/Media Server/Hass.io

3) RTL-SDR for ADS-B Receiver feeding to numerous data warehouses (Flightaware, ADS-B Exchange, PlaneFinder, etc)

4) Connected to RTL-SDR and running rtltcp for generic HF/VHF/UHF radio receiving which was previously part of a SATNOGS automatic cubesat/Amsat/ISS receiver build I've not completed yet.

5) Debian desktop on my workbench

6) A Pi Zero W running a ZNC IRC bouncer

7) Experimenting with remote ham radio control but linux-based ham radio software is still a bit too frustrating, so this isn't an active project.

8) Two extra RasPis and three PiZeroW's just lying around because Microcenter always has them for ridiculously low prices.
It's on Facebook, too. First noticed it a few months ago on a slow mobile connection. https://i.vgy.me/98RIOV.png
Too young, too simple. You have bias in report so you will be accused. And I advise that don't think it raining whenever you hear winds.
I do not know how to reconcile articles like this and ones about Tangier Island or similar with the claims I have read that American colonists probably sounded more like modern Americans than, say, some other non-RP English accent.
As an outsider, at this point I have no idea why anyone would want to do a startup in SF. I mean, obviously, all the connections and resources are nice, but you are literally burning investor money on $5k/mo rent. That's absurd.

Rent out a house in Austin, Texas for $2k and each of your co-founders can share a room. There's investors and as deep a talent pool as you'll ever need unless you're GoogleAmazon and you need a constant stream of talent to feed your machine.

Heck, I live in Houston. I'm working on a startup idea in .NET Core and Vue. If it ever takes off, it will be extremely easy to find 5-10 .NET developers. Hell, if I ever need another really good senior developer I can poach them for $140k, which is a really good salary here. Aren't they paying juniors in SF that much now?

If I ever need to hire 500 developers and a few experienced distributing computing PhDs I'll be too busy rolling in cash to care. I'll just sell my company to someone else and be too busy sailing around the mediterranean to care about talent shortages in Houston.

For the record, I live in a 3 bedroom house right near downtown that costs less than a year's senior dev salary in SF. Are any of you SF people going to be able to get that, unless you become fantastically wealthy?

I'm not trying to be all sour grapes, it just doesn't make sense to me.
You had me until you said 'the Mission'. I've never been to Seattle but it must be the only city in the US without good hispanic food.
That's not a point for batteries. I cannot imagine a circumstance where, during cruise or even descent, you'd wish that you'd be carrying more mass (except possibly to have a higher AoA and thus higher V_a if you want to fly through turbulence faster).
You may not be aware of the complexity of your ad hoc model, but math will inevitably remind you.

I think this idea needs to be expressed more clearly in CompSci and programming. What is the exact nature of the complexity explosion you are talking about here? Is there something analogous to the increase in complexity going from regular expressions to stack machines? What math are we talking about here? It seems like everyone just explains the relational algebra, then leaves it right there.
When you're homeless, you don't have your own private bathroom.
I'm happy to see the 4GB RAM and better overall performance now available for a mere $55. I admin over a dozen RPis at work for signage and sometimes they barely keep up, but as a non-profit, we don't have the budget for much else. We can afford the new Pis, however, so I will likely be upgrading them this year.

I'll likely buy one for home to replace my aging Pi-hole.
Using one for a DMR (ham radio) hotspot.

Plan on using one for a GPSDO data monitoring.

The problem with the RPi is the SD card file system. It’s just not reliable enough. I have had better luck with the Beaglebone Black, which as on-board eMMC.
Even that is only important a little bit. Excelling at a mid-tier university is completely FINE. It's so much harder to get into an Ivy League school now than when I was applying in the 90s; I'm not pushing my child to the brink for a tiny blink of undergrad prestige.
Actually if you download the PlugShare app it has all kinds of charging stations, not just the Tesla Superchargers and I was honestly shocked at the number of chargers there are around the US, they are literally everywhere now. Many of the non-Tesla charging places only charge $1-$2/hour, so while it might take you longer your electric road trip is going to be a lot cheaper. I think you could easily do long distance trips in most electric cars in the US now with a little planning. Walgreens for example has level 2 J-1772 chargers at over 400 locations in the US, which are almost as fast as most Tesla superchargers:

https://www.walgreens.com/topic/sr/sr_electric_vehicle_charg...

Teslas come with a J-1772 adapter so you can charge them there as well. Many hotels, airports, malls and parking garages have chargers now as well. I really think we are at a tipping point, one of the annoying things now is when you get to a charger it's busy. Some of the busiest Tesla superchargers you have to wait 15-20 minutes sometimes for a spot to open up.
I'm a startup founder living in San Francisco, currently in Istanbul, Turkey, for a half work trip, half hiring. First of all the same caveat applies: if you want to live in Turkey, you have to know Turkish. Turkey is closer to France than Thailand in terms of tolerance for English, tourists get a pass, but otherwise fiercely protective. If you're not a visitor, you are expected to know at least basic Turkish or be a social pariah.

The second thing is, also the reason I'm here — Turkey does have a good market for engineers, but the wages are fairly close to the US average in PPP terms. I think Udemy does have a team in Ankara, and there are quite a lot of local and profitable startups, so the competition for talent, while not at SF levels, is not nil. This is being exacerbated by the relative ease of leaving Turkey, lots of good developers have already left because of the illiberal climate of the past decade, for jobs in London, Berlin, Stockholm, New York and San Francisco. They're in pretty high demand far as I can see, because they do provide a good balance of western-ish values, decent langauge skills and an up to date tech stack.

Their willingness to move to the USA is pretty low, however, far as I can see. Berlin seems to be much more palatable to them. If the country recovers and ends up being a more livable place, I do suspect Turkish engineers' willingness to move to even Berlin will likely drop commensurately.

Third, the country is cheap, but it's not India, Philippines or Thailand cheap. It's a good deal for someone from Switzerland to live in an Aegean paradise and still be in the broad EU time zone, within 2 hours flight distance to Zurich. But it's probably not cheap enough to pull people from San Francisco, unless they're Turkish.

Why am I not moving there? Well, I need access to investors, potential customers, collaborators, and yes, even employees in San Francisco. Istanbul is a great city to live in, but it definitely has its fair share of predatory investors that you don't ever want to talk to — in fact, that's the vast majority of investors here, as you'd expect from any non-tech-hub — and mid-to-upper class tech talent, but SF / NY / Seattle still wins in terms of average skill. I do visit every 6 months, though, and I would love to have an office here eventually.

(If you live in Istanbul, we're hiring for a remote Go engineer position for Aether. Email in profile if interested!)
Whilst I see your point, the problem here is not "people want Science to be a source of truth" but rather "people want Science (and other journals) to strive for the truth", which is subtly different. A part of striving for truth is being interested in cases where you were wrong as well as right. Science has given the impression here that they don't care if astonishing claims turn out to be false. This is the sort of behaviour associated with tabloids. Is Science an entertainment magazine or is it striving for truth? The standards of behaviour expected are different.
Any resource to learn SQL will do, there are minor syntax differences between databases but they are not important. And there is not difference to learn SQL for big data, machine learning or any other purpose
That chart is already in Deaths per 100,000 people, so it does indeed show the white and Native American suicide rates to be significantly higher than black and Asian rates.
There's a difference like night-and-day between regulated markets and government-provided services.

If I had my druthers, finance, real estate, and health care would be run by the government. If I couldn't get that, I'd have at least real estate and health care almost completely deregulated -- some transparency and truth-in-advertising laws, but not much more.

It's often painted as a scale from free markets to regulated markets to government-run, but I'm not sure that's a fair model. In many cases, the so-called mid-point of regulated markets works the worst.

This is all false.

You can get input data verifications dynamically or statically. You don't have to use static type verification to verify data inputs and dynamic validations are much more expressive and simpler. See the immensely expressive Clojure spec or Ruby Validations and compare to any type system.

They could quit buying houses, buy yachts (which, at the very least, are a consumer industry), or, you know, just give the money away. Or they could, and I know this will come as a shock, pay taxes.

Again, those were the Dixie-crats. They were segregationists. After that, the racists moved to the Republican party.

Over time the Democratic party became the side that embraced multiculturalism. It's been a fight, no doubt about that, but it did happen.

Saying that today's (after about 1975 or so) Republican party didn't explicitly make a play for the votes of racist Southerners that had been Democrats historically just fly's in the face of the words of the people who actually carried it out. The people involved have explicitly said that it was their strategy.
This seems like a stretch. I saw my fair share of empty subway cars which contained within them an unpleasant surprise when I was there last month. Not conclusive, but “at all” is a very strong standard.
When you have nothing else to live for you are more likely to turn to such escapes. The correlation is pretty strong, even though it isn't a strict cause-effect relation.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't network latency be an important consideration with VR-based remote work?

Not perfectly, but watermarking images in ways that survive re-encoding is far from impossible or unknown.
Which corporate currencies are you thinking of?

The only big example I know of is Air Miles. That seems pretty well run for a currency.

Central banks don't have inflation under control, they've just pushed it to places where it's not measured as part of the definition of inflation - primarily house prices, bonds and equities. That's what you'd expect given the way printed money is inserted into the economy.
Agreed to a degree.

I find Python in the REPL to be great, but I think Common Lisp with Slime and maybe Clojure with Cider take it to a new level. You can write your code and when it errors out it drops you into the REPL where you can update the code incrementally while it is running.

If Python gets me X% increase, Lisp and Smalltalk (and maybe Forth) get you some X% + Y%. The parent comment is right that 30% is probably a back-of-the-envelope calculation and not a rigorous one.

I'm only a novice/superficial language geek, so I can't tell you why Lisp and Smalltalk can do that though. Extreme late binding? Hopefully someone more educated can reply.
They can be but I'd agree documents are usually better for in depth knowledge. Seeing a demonstration really helps me get started.
> Being polite:

I'm sure you're already aware of this, but condescendingly stating that you're being polite is the opposite of being polite.

> we know fences work.

No, you don't know that.

You may know they solve the visible problem (suicide), but you don't know if they do anything to alleviate the conditions that lead to suicide.

Is there anyone who believes fences make people happier or less depressed?
this is extremely unfair
China as a country has its own culture just like Japan does!
How much does getting into the right college matter though? I'm not sure about the US system, but in Canada it doesn't feel like it matters all that much. Some schools are a little bit better than others, but it doesn't feel like a world of difference (at least when it comes to STEM). I've especially noticed this when interviewing candidates from various schools.
I use a synology NAS myself, but I am down to setup something with Pi 4 + OSMC as it was well recommended.
Very interesting. What else is the new Pi good enough for that it wasn't capable of previously?
What a stupid article！I don't even want to admit it's a research. We use WeChat much more than email OK？

2) text and email me alerts

3) Automate lights/devices using 433MHz RF sockets, crontab and RF433Utils

> Bernie wants to take tax money and work out what the best thing to spend it on is.

Bernie might leave me the money and let me work that out for myself.

I mean, look, I get that we actually need a government, and that we fund it by paying taxes. But every time someone like Bernie comes up with some grand new thing for the government to do, they take more money from me and from you to do it with. (Yeah, I know, "we're only going to take money from other people. That never actually works.)

Government programs aren't free. They cost you money. So the question I have for people, when I hear something like Bernie's grand ideas, is this: Given that you have to pay for it, how much more government do you really want?
Slack was built on the foundations of Web 2.0 tools like Socialtext, Jive, Atlassian and others. It's a classic case of profiting from the furrow others have ploughed, right place at right time etc. This is a big lesson for startups...like surfing timing is everything - which set, which wave, circumstances...
I've tried both and I don't think they are better than Python. For one, they don't do integer arithmetic correctly by default:

julia> 2^64
-9223372036854775808

To me, that is simply not ok. The point of HLLs is that details like sizes of hardware registers shouldn't matter.
Actually, I sincerely doubt that whole brain emulation does anything for anyone, beyond placating the surviving relatives of the deceased with perhaps a prosthetic biomechanoid placebo.

Every individual that has ever uttered the words "upload my consciousness" doesn't even deserve the label, quack. Rube is more like it. With brain emulation, we'll likely encounter a degree of technological snakeoil to rival the "invigorating elixirs" of the nineteenth century.

No, I don't buy the idea that human sentience is compatible with wired circuits that carry electric currents, or even photon-bearing fiber optics. Not even from the "Ship Of Theseus" perspective.

My point is that death is essentially the big dreamless sleep, maybe with a magical time travel journey across geologic timescales to a future beyond the next supernova, when one might wake up in another part of the universe, beneath a different sun.

I mean, really, who knows why any of us have disgorged our progeny beneath this one?
Exactly. You can't activate it manually. It's activated by the GPS.
I'm not saying there's no homeless people, there are.

But the SFO phenomenon of open drug use, screaming disruptive people, and street level encampments isn't something you see really anywhere in the five boroughs, excepting maybe a few errant overpasses or very industrial areas of Hunts Point or similar.
Ugh. What a dismal experience trying to try this on my Darwin machine. I felt like I'm running into constant bait and switch moments.

Intuitively there feels like there should be an upper bound on this axiom. For example, imagine a highway 1 mile wide with 50 lanes going each way. That's 220 lanes in each direction. Assume dense traffic with each car taking up 25 of lengthwise- space. A 1 mile stretch of this megahighway would have ~60,000 cars on it. At this density, the 101 between SF and San Jose would be able to accommodate ~2.8 million cars. A quick search reveals that there are only ~2.5 million cars registered in the counties this highway would run through.

So while I don't doubt that this relationship ('traffic increases to fill the available road space') is true for some conditions, it's not a universal law. The real question is finding out where it starts to break down. Maybe there is some merit to building a super wide highway ;)
Naw, we're pretty depressed by the structural racism thing. https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/docs/byomm_factsheet02.pdf
How does that relate to my comment?
Most companies don't have "leftover cash" by the time they realize they're a flop. Often, creditors go unpaid or get pennies on the dollar.

Making it to that point is exceptional and not something you can systemize very easily.

There's nothing wrong with this kind of "indirection", I agree there are times when you might not want to do this but I would put it in terms of cognitive overload.

By substituting a series of lower level concepts/tasks/procedures into a single keyword the reader can more easily think about the problem domain. That's a good thing. If they know the abstraction, it reduces the number of things the reader must keep in their head.

However, if the reader is not familiar with the abstraction they will need to spend time to familiarize themselves. This can break down when trying to understand an abstraction leads to the "endless rabbit hole" problem. Basically, you have to open another file to see how that abstraction works, then it uses some other abstraction which you need to open another file to read, and so on. If the depth is too great the reader will lose context and won't be able to fit the problem in their head.

To avoid this, pull more of the functionality into the function instead of outsourcing it to an abstraction. Favor writing code that reads sequentially rather than as a series of jumps through a bunch of files.

As always, this is largely a matter of taste so use your best judgement and balance abstraction with pragmatism.
Honest question: is this actually ageism or is it business cost-benefit analysis in action? You could argue that the benefit to the company of experience for a tech worker is only worth a maximum of X dollars. After that point, the company is better off hiring younger, cheaper employees with lower expectations than it is continuing to give raises, benefits, etc. to older workers.

I would expect a salary plateau to be a natural result of the above + supply and demand in the market. Maybe that’s what the term ageism has come to mean (not its original definition)?
I guess the problem, however, is that it's a large commitment/risk for the contractor to give up on their own business in favour of yours, right? Could you expand a little more on your experience with those CTO's, how you got them on board, etc.?
All of these kinds of alerts (amber, tornado, flood, fire, and presidential test) that I've received on the west coast of the USA have been based on very coarse regions e.g. entire cities, counties, or districts. Whether that is cell tower or not I can't tell, but I've always assumed it was.
We know fences reduce numbers of suicides. That tells us nothing about what effect they have on numbers of people living fulfilling lives.
You're on the streets, have no food, it's cold, raining, dark and you're wet. This is the 10th day. I offer you something to make it all go away for a couple of hours. Maybe you deny this time. But two weeks later you're more broken than ever, and you start shooting that Heroin or smoking that Crack. Just to make it go away for a short time.
We just need to wait 300 million years and nature will adapt!

It would be cool seeing plastics things rot, though. We're used to them being impervious.

Are people literally burning investor money?
Emergency services are apparantly too important to allow something as 'unreliable' as skype/facetime.

I don't understand why regulators can't drop the reliability requirements and understand that if skype, facetime, whatsapp, viber, twitter, etc. all have 99.9% reliability, then the chances of them all being down at once is far lower than your POTS line being down.

Just have a #911Emergency official hashtag and have a bunch of people reply to it. That's the way the people want it.
We did 100% the same, moved from San Francisco to Germany (Munich, Berlin) and it was 100% worth it! <3

The simplest hypothesis is that drug use and mental health lead to homelessness. And if that's the case, then the problem isn't housing costs (though high housing costs are a problem, just a separate one), it's that people have addiction and mental health issues.
What problem specifically? Because, minus the open-air drug use, I've seen the same thing in NYC.
How is Elixir similar to Clojure? Their syntaxes are nothing alike, their core principles are not the same, not sure I follow.

As for the JVM, I would be curious to know why it's a turn off. It has been worked on for decades and powers mission critical systems everywhere. Unless you are doing something where the size of the VM matters, or where GC as implemented in the JVM is a non-starter I'm not sure why it matters.
They have a track record of splicing together videos to make it appear that people have admitted to nefarious things which they never actually said, yes.
