So, I've never been homeless, but I do work in mental health. We see a lot of patients that are chronically homeless, and they view shelters as a place to dip into briefly when they have to show that they've got a physical shelter (so that we can do a "safe discharge"), and then promptly bounce. Some won't even make it to the shelter, and have their ride from the hospital pull over and let them out so that they can head out immediately.

There are caveats to be added to the above, but, I've never gotten the impression that our implementation of shelters has resulted in something people utilize in anything less than a crisis situation, for a population that doesn't consider "chronically homeless in the winter in a northern latitude" a crisis.

>It's not a comparison of pre-GI bill veterans to post-GI bill veterans that you are actually making.

That's precisely the comparison. You can't remove something from the argument space simply because it was a worse situation, that's a textbook logical fallacy. The thing being compared here has nothing to do with the sacrifices of soldiers, and everything to do with a specific proposal: a group of people being asked to contribute to the greater good via a benefit they were not able to have.

By the way, reducing this to "millenial english literature majors whining about being unemployable" simply makes people stop listening to you, because you clearly haven't been listening to them. Insulting, belittling, and making assumptions will always harm your point.
I was bullish when I got my first Pi to run Home Assistant (before hass.io), but got discouraged when the sd card failures were gas-lighting me by silently reverting my code changes.

That's trivial to check because we know exactly which Bosch ECUs contain this Audi cheating software (= all), and we can also trivially determine which car actually uses it. (= most)

The SW is flashed, not OTA. You'll have to do that in service. And the flash update just sets the low temp. limit trigger to 0, disabling the cheat controller.

We know that for years already. The list is public, but no newspaper is printing it. The scandal is only how protected these criminals are. From the affected ~10 carmakers only 3 were punished so far.

This is exactly the reason why I find all the gleeful tearing out of old POTS copper lines very distressing. This was a proven system with incredible reliability, which worked in power outages for residential users due to centralized backup systems, and still has plenty of usefulness.

Until we come up with some universal multi-layered standards which provide at least the same level of uptime and utility, it seems more than a little premature to pull all of it up as a matter of course. Obviously in many places there are space constraints, but that is not usually an issue in arguably the most important use case, at home.
I'm glad they listened, and after reading more into some of the use cases there are times in which having this function api could be very helpful to group certain parts of the code together.

Oh shit, you quoted the rules! You'll definitely get an apology, now.
Understood; I put "better Python" in scare quotes because everyone has their own vision of what that "better X" would look like in an ideal world. Julia offers a python-like syntax but doesn't really attempt to duplicate the python developer experience.

Based on your other comments, if you're OK with a more Ruby-flavored syntax, you could look at Elixir. Its designers put a lot of effort into pervasive immutability and a solid developer experience.
Super agree. The designer of the experiment really need to read some books. And has him considered the situation that the “wallet” might be returned to the policed station?
I'm also interested, although my curiosity is more about what you are doing with the data.

Hi all! We built a universal checkout page for sellers to show off their selling reputation, get paid via PayPal, import existing feedback from marketplaces like eBay, and continue earning reputation tied to their sales.

Transaction history and ratings are stored on Ethereum so the data is decentralized, publicly viewable, and verifiable. We believe sellers should be able to take their history and reputation with them wherever they sell - and buyers should be able to verify who they are dealing with, even when buying outside of established marketplaces.

Here is my selling profile as an example: https://replin.com/geehwan

Click on reviews and you can see the Ethereum transactions of completed Replin sales.

Currently in beta, we are targeting places like IG, Twitter, FB, Reddit, where we realized lots of people buy and sell stuff already.. mostly to escape fees from eBay etc, but also because it's more fun.

Our team currently runs Listia (YCS09) and the two products are integrated. Sellers can bring their entire Listia selling history to Replin and all future Listia sales are also synced to Replin. We extracted the basic buy/sell flow of a typical p2p marketplace transaction and built it into Replin for transactions outside of marketplaces. Long term we think people should be able to transact safely anywhere, while owning their own reputation and data.

Would really love any feedback, especially if you sell online or on eBay etc.. thank you!
OTOH, your going to be pretty much stuck with whatever handouts nvidia gives you unless your willing to hack the firmware/etc and reverse engineer stuff.

Pretty much everything works on the existing rpi. Heck you can run Windows IoT on it. It has a UEFI firmware (edk2) port which mostly complete, and pretty much every distro and 3rd party OS supports it. And the hardware itself is mostly open at this point.

What is a better alternative to server side rendering?
"Dealing with" as in from the employee perspective.
It's a difference in run time purpose.

With a single code base capable of having millions of processes running as the norm, some handling direct client requests and others handling in-progress work, data storage, holding open connections for transfers, etc...you get the capability to deploy without disrupting ANY of that.

Most run times can't do anything close to that. Think about all of those X million websocket benchmarks...now think about being able to deploy without forcing all X million to try to reconnect at the same time.

And it can do this while all of the nodes are connected and communicating with each other as well as the outside world.

For standard issue client server, it's not that big of a deal. You just separate the web parts behind a load balancer.

For background workers, long lived connections, web sockets, video/audio streams, file transfers (CDN)...it's huge.
Maybe I missed it, but where is it arguing that censorship is good? I thought he was arguing the exact opposite, that it's bad and doesn't actually solve the social problem.

The plan is part of a more comprehensive "college for all" program that Sanders has already released in pieces and includes free tuition at all four-year public colleges and universities, as well as community colleges. The broader proposal also includes subsidies to reduce the cost of tuition and fees for low income students at private colleges that historically serve underrepresented communities.

"We will make a full and complete education a human right in America, to which all of our people are entitled," Sanders said on Monday. "This means making public colleges, universities and HBCUs tuition-free and debt-free by tripling the work study program, expanding Pell grants and other financial incentives."

Interesting - what sorts of congenital defects?

I've been around a handful of isolated communities like that, and have definitely been to places where the people looked both very much alike and very "atypical" compared to the population at large, but I'm not sure I would describe what I've seen as "defects". Rather, my assumption is that in a smaller population like that is that some characteristics are exaggerated while others are suppressed.

As an example from my own family, my grandfather had nearly white hair and ears that were somewhat larger than normal. He was called "Cotton" when he was in the military (WW2/Korea) and later in life when he worked as a mechanic. The area he grew up is about two hours from me, and is a town of about 100 people. It's striking how many of them have big ears and very light hair, especially the older generation.

I wouldn't consider a high prevalence of light hair and big ears to be "defects", though. Is that the sort of thing you're talking about, or was it something more substantial?

I remember back in the late 80s telnetting out of the NYU Bobst library on their VAX 11(?) system to some pretty interesting systems. The Johnson Space Center in Houston (running VAX 11/785s was one I particularly remember. Of course, back then things were not battened down as much as they are now; the spirit was an open network. A sysadmin would interrupt your session with quesitons like "Who is this? You are unauthorized to access this system, etc."
I never realized I was in a majority group, but "Exhausted" is exactly how I feel about politics lately. I'm capping my CNN viewing at about ~20 minutes a day.

What review did you read? Playing video is likely the only thing the PI 3 does really well; even most H265 FHD do play without stuttering on the 3+ although we're close to the board limits.

Are you sure the writer didn't use the board the wrong way? Some people still believe that videos should be streamed after being transcoded because that is the only way to watch them on their ridiculously limited smart TV which lacks the necessary codecs to watch them the right way. Of course doing this over WiFi would make the problem even worse.
To optimize network usage, videos should be kept encoded until they reach the player so that the network won't be clogged. If you use the PI to read the movie as a file over a shared SMB or NFS directory, the network usage is so low that you could watch like 20 different movies on 20 different players on the same home network at the same time. Probably even more.

The PI 3 (and to some extent probably the PI4 too) is still behind many other boards in other contexts (openness, performance, price) but playing video is surely not one of them.
