Great explanation, but I would just say `hasPermissions`. I like to name functions for their result, not for what they do.
> "registrars", effectively selling or renting domain names they didn't own.

I don't mind paying a fee for a registrar to handle the task of making sure the world knows that I own a particular domain. The problem is that the fee I'm paying appears to be viewed as me having to periodically re-purchase a domain I already own.

Yes in my case the pi would crash, and the SD card changes would revert. I don't know if its changed or not, but at the time you couldn't check uptime because the lack of a hardware clock meant it didn't know the time when it booted.

It took a while to figure out it was crashing everyday, probably due to the bad card, and the writes weren't taking. After more recent problems with other SD cards I'm trying the new SanDisk 8GB MSDHC Class 10 UHS-I U1 Industrial MLC micro cards after seeing them mentioned here.
I have a wall mounted 20" TV in my garage above the corner of my workbench. Use it to look up stuff or watch how to videos or just play music.

I love minimalism and part of my minimalism approach is not having vulnerable things in vulnerable places. So if the Pi gets destroyed because a workshop is fairly volatile, no big deal.
Minor clarification: UART is “just serial” but when people say “serial” they usually mean RS-232 or RS-422, and these don’t use 0V / 5V like you would for 5V logic. They use anywhere from 3-25V signals, with positive voltages for zeroes and negative voltages for ones. Your PC, if it has a serial port on it, probably sends around +/- 13V (this is typical, IIRC).

So don’t hook up 5V logic parts to a serial interface. If you look at RS-232 interface chips they have integrated charge pumps and external capacitors to generate the Tx voltages from Vcc.
I could actually use exactly that. Do you have a blog outlining how you did it, or the code on github by any chance?
>If pressed, I suspect most of the programmers in the world could read assembly. They might hate it, but they could do it, if given sufficient motivation. Simplified assembly used to be written as a game.

I strongly disagree. I work with a lot of very smart people. These people are Phd researchers at the top of their field, working on cutting edge algorithmic development. Their work is primarily mathematical, but they write enough MATLAB to prove that what they're developing really works. They write enough code that I think most people would consider them "programmers", yet they absolutely do not understand C++, much less assembly. As I said, these are very smart people; they could certainly learn, but they have no motivation to do so. It's not their job to understand all of the details of how a computer works (it's mine, more or less).

>How naive are you going here? Turn it into a contest, where the versions of the code contain backdoors, and contestants are ranked by how quickly and accurately they can identify them. Arrange for cash prizes, and you'd have your determination.

I didn't really mean naive in the sense of the people, but in the intent of the author. When I read "70% of the population of programmers", I think of myself and my ~6 coworkers who spend ~50+% of their time manipulating code. That's the simplest (i.e. naive) definition of "programmer" that I can come up with. If the author intended a different definition (like "people who claim to understand any assembly language"), then that definition might exclude my coworkers, making the goal a lot more achievable.

For the naive definition, only 14% (1/7) of my group have any chance of understanding this project. I think you could find a lot of front-end web focused groups where the percentage was much lower than that, and at this point I think those groups far outnumber the embedded systems groups where the number would be much closer to 100%.
Did the researchers conduct any background survey for their experimental subjects?
The researchers don’t understand Chinese as Chinese participants don’t understand English. Communication efficiency -100.

Participants’ lifestyle is different from researchers’. We use instant message apps for work and dailylife communication rather than Email, (e.g., apps WeChat, QQ. )

Without considering these variables (language barrier and lifestyle) into account. It’s unreasonable to call it a fair test.
I think his entire point is that usefulness isn't enough. Musl libc is important and useful, but underfunded. Thus, he's doing marketing for it.
Where did you find a hoi toider accent in the Blue Ridge?! I've never heard of such a thing. Though most of my reference is from family in the area of Watauga and Mitchell counties of NC.
Maybe someone has better resources, but I found it interesting that the paper linked within about the particular patient MX, says, ...mental imagery is ubiquitous..., but I can't find an example of what people consider mental imagery.

Is what I consider mental imagery the same as someone else? I dunno.

FWIW, for me, mental imagery seems to take the form of a very brief flash when I'm thinking of a simple object, like a rock, for example. But I assume it extends into less concrete things like when I'm daydreaming, where there is no distinct clear image, it's more of an inner monologue of themes/intent with a few flashes of imagery here and there.
Sounds like there is a market for fire standard approved cat doors! ;)

I loved reading what you are doing with the Pi though.
How about, instead of putting derogatory labels on people to belittle their efforts to understand truth, we all simply strive for truth?

> The conspiracists takes a dogmatic stance

What, all of them? And who are the "conspiracists"? Those who disbelieve the 9/11 myth, who question the long-term health effects of drugging water systems, who question the safety of wireless transmitters installed in every cubic inch of the world, who see through war propaganda and manufactured history? There are a thousand more "trigger topics".

All of these people are the same, huh? Dogmatic dolts who can't do research? Dummies who don't accept official narratives simply because they're trouble-makers?

The power system maintains its stranglehold over the population because our implicit slavery has been normalized. Is there any earthly reason why we should have billionaires next to people starving to death? We accept this because it has been normalized. There has always been a war on information, but we finally have the means to take back control. But in order to do so, we have to want it.
I believe I saw a reference recently saying it only took 40million years before cellulose became widespread biodegradable. I can't find a source for that number, though it looks like it might have been an MS mycology student circa 2014.

http://hn.premii.com/#/article/15977640

I suspect plastic will take significantly less time than cellulose though. It's an amazing material, and the biodiversity of the planet (though shrinking) is still much higher than it was when cellulose began proliferating.
This is at least the fourth time I've seen this linked in a college-related thread. It feels a bit spammy when there is no substantive comment, just a link to an article. I'm never going to read it, but if there is a part of it that is particularly relevant to this US News article, please feel free to explain and give some quotes.
D is the only language I use any more, so it's neat to see others have made similar realizations about it.

I also saw "Beginning Haskell: A project-based approach" by Mena which even talks about lenses. As my primary use-case from Haskell would be in data science, I think this book might be useful.
> Put another way: exceptions are exceptions to the normal program flow.

There's no iron law or mathematical proof that says this is optimal. It's just a preference some people have. Exceptions are the error handling mechanism for many programming languages. Authorization errors are a type of error. Under this construction, exceptions are the appropriate way to handle authorization errors, including when a principal attempts to access an resource they are not authorized to access.
I am surprised that CF is as aggressive toward Verizon in public as they are. Once you start breaking the Internet for stupid reasons, though, you probably deserve it.

I know very little about BGP operations; I did not know that there was PKI and route validation like they described in the article.
I have this (unable to have any kind of mental imagery at all, and discovered that it was not normal via the Facebook article by Blake Ross years ago) and unscientifically correlate this condition as part of my lack of ability to remember certain things and recall events with storytelling ability.

I also sometimes have problems remembering names and eventually forget faces as well if I'm out of contact with someone for a long time.

Anyone else with aphantasia relate to this, or are my issues unrelated?

My wife, who describes herself as having very vivid mental imagery and says she has involuntary photographic memory at times (as in she does not know what triggers a memory to be completely photographic), has superb memory, and I personally believe it's what enables her to quickly learn so many languages.

So as a result (I know, based on sample size one), I'm led to personally believe that my memory-related issues may have some correspondence to aphantasia.

How do your manage your router failing? Do you have a second one in hot standby? Sure, the pi would add a second point of failure but personally I never had a router or rpi fail, so I think the advantage of running a pi hole outweighs that increased risk.

Assange is alleged to have performed acts that could be construed as attempts to access classified information, beyond merely asking for it--specifically, it is alleged that he assisted Manning with attempting to acquire and decrypt classified documents. That is the heart of the issue--if Assange had merely accepted a document dump from Manning (as he generally did with most other sources), he wouldn't be facing 18 charges today.

They are not oblivious to what happens in tech.
The firmware are encrypted and protected, it is not so easy, and they would need specialist for this.

It is however much easier to do some social engineering or hire a bosch employee :).
Mercedes, porsche and bosch all have their HQ in Stuttgart, I think it is quite easy for them to know what happens with competitors.

Moreover now with Autosar, they scatter vehicle functionalities through ECUs, with each ECU doing a part of the functionality. It's getting really complex now.

To understand the issue with reverse engineering, one needs to understand that there is no standard in car. Each brand and car has its own communication matrix and electrical architecture, which get periodically overhauled. So even if you manage to identify the meanings of the CAN frames for a make, it is useless for the next generation.

That's why you do not find the communication matrix on internet for recent cars, you only find them somehow for old cars. Also because very few people know how to read CAN network and want to invest timr in this reverse engineering

FWIW I've also gone down a similar rabbit hole, and written a bunch of code too in that direction. Resources here:

I wouldn't be surprised that somebody else thought of the same idea -- that happens all the time. The canonical example is that two people independently invented calculus :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery

I also found that the academic projects Morbig/Colis and Smoosh independently did some of the same things I'm doing Oil, at pretty much the exact same time (2016-2017).

Links here: https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/ExternalResources

Some things are just "in the air". I think there are probably a lot more precursors to what you were doing than you were aware of (some of which may be on that wiki page -- I also have a private wiki page called "Avoiding Pointers" with some more academic papers, if you're interested).

I mention Ken Thompson's encodings of regexes, and that was in the 60's. He didn't motivate it by "avoiding pointers", and it's specific to a particular application rather than a general purpose language, but the idea is the same.

The code I wrote was inspired by capnproto to a large extent, and the author chimed in here with the similarities to this language. protobufs/capnproto are basically a language-independent type system, and it's not that big a jump to go from a type system to a general programming language.

That doesn't match the graph shown, in which traditional conservatives have a slightly smaller perception gap than traditional liberals.

The tribes come from another report from the same people, which says "[Traditional conservatives] are included as a wing segment because they are much closer in characteristics to the Devoted Conservatives than to the Exhausted Majority." I'll admit I've only skimmed the graphs (it's 110 pages long), but I'm not sure their data shows that clearly.

"up to" 4,500 gallons per day. The two new estimates in the article are 9-47 barrels per day and 19-108 barrels per day. A total of 250-700 barrels of oil per day might be flowing into the Gulf from various sources, so this is a significant fraction but not a majority.
I find it interesting that when something uses proper grammar and spelling, it may appear more trustworthy.

Consider this: a consumer that employs above average grammar and spelling skills to write product reviews may also be more skillful in forming and expressing valuable opinions and assessments of any product.

I think that people are naturally inclined to pick up on those signals, whether the correlation is real or not.
but none of these come close to a real world use case. like, where does this limbo bar setting come from? who chose 15k and why?

'further proof'
I read this comment yesterday and I keep coming back to it because it depresses me at a fundamental level. "I don't wanna change and even if I was going to I reckon _they_ wouldn't so I still won't" is the tragedy of the commons yes. But that's not a _defence_ of your actions, it's an admission of your culpability.

The "I'm not in denial, I'm just denying the science" is just cream on the top.
I wouldn't be surprised if none of the people who learn to code through bootcamps or self-taught modules can read assembly. Most of that kind of stuff teaches web development and not much else, so any code lower on the stack is mostly unfamiliar territory.
Looks like the author put some work in ("...a fork of jekyll-now with some additional features and personal touches which I've implemented to suit my needs for my blog") and they thought others may find it useful. Sometimes that's how open source works; every project doesn't have to be a category-defining framework.

It is in that the rasp pi's price doesn't have much slack. So it will never really go on sale whereas most other hardware with a few exceptions has a lot of slack. So it seems fair to compare the projected prices of things.
As Milton Friedman remarked, full open borders are not compatible with a welfare state (which the "job guarantee" is one example of).
