One thing from SOM that made me envy was that SOM had metaclasses, just like Smalltalk, so it was possible to do some interesting designs.

COM Type libraries and now UWP metadata aren't really the same.
Maybe you should try the dev experience of Elm or ReasonML before shooting down the author’s comments.

I get what you are saying and I also get what the author is saying it might be that you are missing something truly great in our engineering field.
Adafruit sells a lot of air quality sensors that can work with RasPi, Arduino, etc. They also have lots of guides. So I'd just go on there and take a look. My setup isn't really unique. I used this link: https://www.balena.io/blog/build-an-environment-and-air-qual... as my guide for setting up something with logging and graphing. I didn't do a full Docker-fied Balena cloud deal; I just replicated the stack manually and used their guide as inspiration. It's overkill, but was quick and works fine.

WP Engine to Acquire Flywheel for WP Hosting
that's a very good point. Especially because there is a large community of hackers that love tweaking their printer (I'm one of them). Things like using the wrong voltage on a hot bed or fan can start a fire.

Here is an example of what this guy had to go through: https://www.thissmarthouse.net/dont-burn-your-house-down-3d-...
That statement makes no sense. Efficiency is a measure of energy required to move the vehicle a certain distance, as in Wh/mi.

Range is battery capacity divided by efficiency. You can give up range to protect the battery, by limiting the charging capacity or the discharge depth, but you cannot give up efficiency.

There are likely a multitude of factors from motors, to drivetrain, to drag, to gross weight which contribute to Audi’s lower efficiency e-Tron. They have a fairly large battery, although smaller capacity than Tesla’s largest, but only get ~200mi of range out of it. Their efficiency and range is lower than the 2012 Model S. This is one area where Tesla has an indisputable technical lead.

You could argue, for example, that Audi sacrifices efficiency to have lower interior noise levels, or that they had a body design with higher drag they weren’t willing to compromise. But drag and weight alone don’t fully account for the large efficiency difference.
It's a nightmare for car manufacturers right now - they had a gun held to their heads in europe to go diesel, then the politicians changed their minds and decided to push EV despite there being little effort made to create viable supporting grid infrastructure. Jaguar Landrover bet big on diesel and are digging out, but the chances of recovering from the diesel debacle while succeeding at innovating EVs is slim. Meanwhile dozens of Chinese EV firms are going to the wall, despite China being the big transportation growth market
> not typically been used to implement malicious functionality

so raspberry pi, in an effort to be more open than say Dell/HP, where you had/have to pay to download drivers, bios and other updates, is _more_ malicious than say apple/google who are competing to create a closed garden with a remote lockout, where nothing is owned, only rented?

ya.

I really don't understand this viewpoint.

Look, I've used embedded 386s. I've seen the evolution of ARM SBC first hand. I've used gumstix, sheevas and custom rolled jobbies. You know what united them all? they were bloody expensive and difficult to use. Pis are a joy to use. Plus if you accidentally blow the board, you're not down £500

Adding a DRM so that people can't make knock off cameras, in exchange for a £10 full linux SBC that is _easy_ is a worthy exchange. Even if they weren't a charity. The fact that they are single-handedly dragging the pathetic excuse for IT education in the UK ("here is how to use Microsoft office") into something approaching usefulness is a massive massive bonus.

The ecosystem that raspberry pi supports, the OS, magazines, training, teaching, class room outreach and research can only be done with cold hard cash. That cash comes from Pi sales.

Don't get me started on DRM. Look I know you think that everything should be free, but that means I can't earn a living.

Teaching kids that copy/pasting someone's work, making a halfarsed cheap copy and selling it for loads of profit, with no support is a good moral choice, you might want to re-asses your world view.

Yes open source is good. Yes you should give back and contribute. But, to move forward, money has to be invested, and it has to come from something.

Yes, removing ownership from the people is exceptionally bad. The trend towards the "sharing" economy undermines workers rights to the point that we are entering digital feudalism. But that is another topic.
That hasn't been my experience, in particular when interviewing with managers and team leads younger than myself.

The last one slipped, and as much as admitted that he was concerned that I wouldn't be able to work as hard: he had presumed that I had children to take care of.

It used to piss me off, but now it's just discouraging.
> There's a point where you have to accept that this is an expensive hobby or luxury item. You chose to get all these devices.

Oh, no doubt. I'm not really complaining about the price I'm paying for the devices themselves; I included that specifically so it wouldn't be taken as if the entire bill was due to the data I consume.

> always buying very high-end new hardware

That's a pretty recent thing for me. The first new flagship phone I ever bought was an S7 Edge. I liked it enough that it made sense for me to upgrade to the iPhone X when it died. The 6th Gen iPad was an impulse purchase, but one that turned out to be a much more practical thing than I expected. Then I upgraded and passed it down to my daughter - she's homeschooled, and can access her online lessons from wherever we happen to be on it, which is very handy.
I'd like to see a comparison between a survey of espoused party values and the oppositions understanding - I wonder if someone was to look at the values that the political leaders are saying and voting for would there be as wide a gap, or would it fall more in line with what people believe of a party and it's members?

On a person per person basis there's dehumanizing caricature, but I wonder if you compare it to the party to which the person claims to belong, if it would be as out to lunch.

2050 is way too late. Also the discussion doesn't only need to be carbon neutral, but it must be about how to get carbon negative.

I hope that the US get behind this ASAP as well, and that China and India follow.
This is where the blame really lies: "European nations — including Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Austria — had been cutting taxes on diesel car purchases and diesel fuel to promote sales". The big lesson here is regulators should never ever pick winners from specific technologies.
If you want to die, just wait until you're old enough. Most suicide methods are too unreliable and if you fail, you might not attempt suicide a second time. You don't want to take that risk. My method will work even if your life has improved and you no longer feel suicidal.
Nobody ever manually maintains inventory correctly. That's why automated systems are supposed to scan networks and inform the inventory of what is actually there, versus what is "supposed to be there".

Lack of training doesn't matter at all. This is just a mechanism to blame people, it doesn't ensure security at all.

And of course JPL doesn't have a mechanism to allow DHS to scan its entire network. Nobody has a big red button that says "please provide a back door in every single security policy we have for one party to do whatever they want".

This whole report is bullshit designed to place blame. Why is anyone taking this seriously?
I've never argued that metaphors make for worse technical writing. It's just that you've started the discussion defending putting random pics into a blog post, and now you're trying to paint opposition to these as an opposition to creative technical writing (vide the sibling post about Raymond Smullyan). I think we might be in a violent agreement here, actually.
I wonder if there's definitional confusion underlying this?

I rarely see discussion of the gaps that hide under an umbrella like <party/ideology>-ans. Are we talking about candidates and office-holders? Party officials and operatives? Openly-affiliated pundits? Activists? People otherwise not on the playing field who happen to vote for or be registered as party-affiliated? Abstract stereotypes projected by partisan media?

In practice, these groups may be largely distinct, and questions referencing them can easily smuggle a lot of assumptions in. I would be surprised if highly disengaged voters and highly engaged ones aren't talking about different things when they tell you what they think <X>-ans think, so you'd expect a delta.
How do you deal with it breaking things like Amazon-based UI(Fire, Mobile shopping etc...)?
But wouldn't it be better for everyone if those companies weren't in those unique positions? Can't your point about them not "screaming from the rooftops" about fake news be used to argue that we can't allow these companies to have such power when we know that they will only ever act in their own self interest?

You'd be very surprised then at how fast some people at companies bang out code with very little understanding of the problem, get it done fast, and look like heroes because it works. They then build up an expectation of getting things done fast because "time is money" and end up with a garbled mess of spaghetti code that functions.

And honestly, experience tells you when that's okay. If you work for a venture backed company where the owners and founders only goal is to get something up and running to convince investors to give them money or to survive long enough to go public (statistically unlikely) or to get acquired, the goal isn't to make good code that can be maintained long term. They don't care if the whole business is built on a house of cards that will fall as soon as they get acquired.

Too many employees drink the kool-aid and think the owners are interested in anything else except for an exit strategy.

> It will also be a very gradual increase in temperature and we humans are very good at adapting and finding solutions.

Serious question: Have you ever lived in a country that was in the middle of a famine?

People 'find solutions' to that problem. They aren't pretty. Those solutions consist of 'rob', 'starve, or 'leave'.

If you live in the first world, your problem is going to be dealing with people who are taking option #3. We're barely capable of dealing with a flow of refugees from one or two countries.
Currently using Raspberry Pi to expose the speakers through the AirPlay protocol, since my AirPort Express died.
I wouldn't have left Go just because of these but before you write this off as minor thing, I would suggest you look this as one of the core language design decision. It reveals two important language philosophies:

1. Go doesn't follow "you pay for what you use" model.

2. Go isn't too deeply invested in compilation as means for catching errors.

Above are not binary language decisions. If you go in one direction strongly then there are consequences in other. Therefore all languages chose some balance point (aka compromises). Go has chosen a balance point that is weaker than Rust (and may be even C++) but stronger than Python.
I'm torn about the title – this is a tool for opting out of advertising (supposedly? it's linked to by Google in their "why am I seeing this advertisement" pop-up), which is totally not clear given the title of the page.
The lowest power "x86" server I have found runs at about 30W, that is equivalent to about 8 RasPis (typically about 4W each, the PiDP-11 is an outlier at 8W) in the current configuration, and the RasPis are fairly distributed around my lab which would have to be done with wiring otherwise.
Do you think that Bernie's proposal is going to result in more money being thrown at education, or less? I presume more. (If it's free to them, more will decide to attend; the schools will charge the same as they do.)

Education is in a death spiral where costs increase and effectiveness decreases. Do you think throwing more money at the universities will make that better, or worse?
It's a nitpick, but also a deal killer for me. The way Firefox behaves when you click the address bar on Android absolutely infuriates me. The way chrome immediately clears the address, and gives you buttons to either copy the current address to clipboard, share, or edit, is brilliant and makes it a joy to use. Therefore I use chrome.
So you are angry with Amazon because they sell what you want? Amazon is providing a good enough service that you buy from them, evidently.
I don't think this slippery slope style reasoning captures interesting disagreement. Imo we should look at the majority of cases and not get lost in edge cases. Which category does what you describe fall into? My intuition says the latter.

I'm Dr. Torq and have a Raspberry Pi in my Steampunk conference badge. Use it during my tech talks.

That's talking about other Australian companies. Again, Fastmail has absolutely no need for a backdoor, and will never be requested to add one. They already have full access, a backdoor wouldn't do anything. They have a frontdoor.
> > I realized that I couldn’t rely on the compiler to get my back when I was doing mistakes

> That's not how engineers work.

Engineers don't leverage automated error checking whenever possible? I think you're confusing engineers with cowboys.

Yes you should have a good idea of what's going on, and strive to make minimal mistakes, and take responsibility for continual improvement. That does not take away from the fact that you should use tools that guide you to the right answer, that catch your mistakes early, and that fail safely.

Safety is not a set of training wheels that a good engineer drops when they're no longer needed.
I can agree when the problems brought up are phrased reasonably, but to ask questions like "does racism still exist" is just going to get you meaningless data.

I think most courts would conclude that freedom of speech is the right for you to speak in a public place or to publish using your own means. It is not necessarily the right to be heard by the particular audience you desire to reach, nor the right to publish using someone else's equipment. The internet is still an open place, and there are plenty of venues other than Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube where you can express your thoughts and opinions. You can also build your own website or blog and seek attention to it by reaching out to others for links.
Absolutely. I don't see any of this in their analysis of the results.

The router and modem both run OpenWRT, which addresses any number of basic sins one might hope for, including adblocking, firewalling, and media server.

I am looking for options to provide streamed media over existing audio equipment in the flat. This might be applied to a media library (DLNA audio and video), podcasts, Internet radio, and borrowed items from libraries (local, online).

There's a set of devices which offer to talk to local audio equipment, much of which costs as much, and often several times more than, a RaPi. Seems that a full SoC system might be the better option, particularly if WiFi and Bluetooth are built in.

> Services provided by governments optimize for vastly different outcomes than the private sector. It also seems that many people harshly judge government services while they ignore real problem that occur when those services are privatized.

I'm not the parent but I started this subthread. I didn't bring this topic up to advocate for privatization; I brought it up to note that advocates for more/bigger government might enjoy more political support if they focused on improving government ROI. Lots of countries have competent governments; I'm certainly sympathetic to those who think we should improve the efficiency of our government before we raise taxes.
I always think how i would feel about a known fire in my house. Would i leave my fireplace unsupervised for a longer period? Definitely not, and that is the one place that should be fireproof.

2: Upload the gcode files to octoprint (no fiddling with micro sd cards)

3: Watching the picam. So i can sit in another room, but so close to hear if a motor jammed or something else.
Weird, Wonderful Photos from Another Era
Yes? Why does the product have to just be the physical item? We're perfectly capable of redefining our expectations in other subjects, maybe a world where you buy the design and implementation isn't that far out.
One part of releasing Elixir applications I never found a definite answer was how closely the build environment has to match the final environment where the release is deployed. The Erlang runtime is bundled with a release, and this part is platform-dependent as far as I understand.

If I'm writing an application that I'll only deploy myself I can of course match the environments exactly. But what about if I wanted to distribute an Elixir application to end users that might install it on all kinds of different operating systems and distributions? Do I have to build a release for OS/architecture combinations like Linux/64bit, Windows/32bit and similar? Or do I have to match each Linux distribution and windows version exactly? That would make it rather impractical to use Elixir to write software you give to other people, and don't deploy yourself.

Of course when I looked at this Distillery was the standard way to deploy, but it doesn't look like this part is any different with Elixir Releases.
Depending on how cooled the engine is, it affects emissions levels. A open thermostat makes a car run richer, generating less horsepower.

There is a direct correlation between engine operating temp, condition of the thermostat and emissions/fuel economy.

Somewhat related, last month there was an 'antitrust and competition conference' at chicago booth school of business, and their videos came up last weekend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu9q5fb6MO0 is one of the panel videos with some interesting arguments:

FB's free basics implementation in Brazil is free for facebook-owned properties (e.g. whatsapp), but not for general website usage. Claire Wardle argues this creates a problem where free basic internet users are less motivated to fact-check things ( https://youtu.be/Wu9q5fb6MO0?t=1231 , specifically https://youtu.be/Wu9q5fb6MO0?t=1340).

Barry Lynn of Open Markets had an interesting quote I'm still trying to think about - https://youtu.be/Wu9q5fb6MO0?t=2523 - "The issue is not that the price is free, the issue is the price is imposed outside the market. The issue that price is a function not of competition, but a tool of power. Without a public price, you don't have a public. Without a public, you can't protect democracy."
