As I understand it, that's a very cut back version and doesn't include the compiler/interpreter so you can't just hook up to a UART and start reprogramming. I could be wrong, so please feel free to correct my statement if it's completely off the wall.

What I want is something that I can hook up to the UART serial port, and start typing interactive commands into it to debug why my system is hung/stuck/etc. It needs to live in about 4K of RAM (and I can trade quite a bit of flash to do that).

16K of RAM is too much. Something like a Nordic nRF52811 only has 24K of RAM, and a lot of that gets used for the Bluetooth stack.
I think you are aiming rightly for ‘jack of (n - 1) trades, master of 1” :)
Canada. We share a lot of food supply chains with the US, including access to artificially cheap HFCS.
I think the point is that Google wants fuzzy boundaries between things that were never fuzzy to begin with, until they started confusing people - whether they intended to or not.

If you asked any person- How do go to your favorite website before the omnibox, they had a clear set of steps that worked. If you asked them, how do you search for recipes they had a clear set of steps for that too.

Google's omnibox/(aka keyword logger) made that boundary fuzzy and made it confusing for people. Earlier, people very quickly learned to recognize what is and isn't a valid url, because an invalid URL simply didn't work - this was a very very useful skill/knowledge to have. And every-time you had a typo you noticed it immediately. But then Google insisted on merging the URL and search bar and started correcting their typos and mistakes and people started losing this knowledge/skill. So now.. a lot of non technical folks I know type the url in google's search box in weird ways .. like "wwwfacebook" or "facebook .com" or other typos. So now, nobody actually knows what a valid URL is. That makes them easy targets for phishing and scamming. I'm not blaming this entirely on Google, but they did play a part. Google doesn't seem to realize how they're fucking up things even if that is not their intent.

A much more probable scenario would be of its airfield being blown up by something like Tochka or Luna even before most of the planes will have a chance to sortie.

This is why there is a natural scepticism of airforce centric warfare: a tank will not fall out of the sky the moment its logistic supply is cut.

>Nobody is going to switch from Chrome to Firefox if the UI is radically different.

I've actually had a lot of success getting non-techie Android users I know to switch to Firefox when they found out that it has proper adblocking available via Ublock Origin. They're usually quite willing to learn a new UI if it means that they no longer have to deal with advertising infestations.
So I do agree with most here that you shouldn't care one way or another about getting feedback and the author seems to be overreacting somewhat, I do want to share that for each of my last 3 rejections from startups, I did receive politely worded feedback as to why I was rejected. So again, while I do agree that the author is overreacting in the sense that it's not helpful to emotionally react this way, I don't think his expectations are necessarily out of line - it's possible to treat candidates better and the more candidates expect to be treated well, the better the industry will be.

On top of this, the criticism regarding how the author is self-unaware (I don't entirely disagree) seems especially misguided because often how self-unaware people become self-aware is through constructive feedback. With that in mind, since the author seems to be here, the one piece of feedback I have is that:

"I sent over some different code, it was a 5 line code change that halved the average response time of an API."

I don't know if the author was at this point interested in the job or not (if this was a joke, please disregard) but some clever 5-liner is extremely unlikely to impress anyone looking for a senior engineer and is impossible to evaluate in isolation. Also most of the work involved in "halving the response time" - again, assuming a reasonably complex system - is identifying where the bottleneck is, not writing the simple fix to address the issue that was discovered. You're expected to write substantially more code than that even in a 30-minute technical screen. When people are looking for code samples (again for a senior engineer), they are looking to see the ability to design and organize larger chunks of a system, make trade-offs between different architectures and ability maintain good code hygiene over a larger sample and so on - providing a 5-liner raises more questions than it answers.

If the targets were primarily business leaders and fewer in number, I'd agree with you. The vastness and involvement of political figures makes a state's support more likely.

If he just wanted to get his own rocks off, why bring in these guys? Prince Andrew, Clinton? It'd be safer to ensnare middling business leaders no one has ever heard of if he just wanted money. But such people are no use to state intelligence.
and every time it is posted, the "TCP over TCP is a bad idea" link is brought up (once by myself). Each time, the poster/supporters downplay TCP Meltdown. Solutions for VPN over TCP 80/443 already exist. It makes a great pet project, don't get me wrong, but it's not going to get any interest from industry professionals.

> Lycanic hopes that in the end, the experience with Drakore will turn out well for Zeal. “At the end of the day, this is not a loss for us. This is a win for us,” said Dinçer. “We know tons of people who want to work with us and not ask for money from us until the time the game starts making money.”

> Lycanic was a team of two developers, Mert Dinçer and Tim Popov

IMO, Dincer and Popov hold rather significant liability for not doing their due diligence. They were involved in the situation on a day-to-day basis, and will profit the most from the scam.
Exactly this. To go back country camping in Denali means jumping on a bus that drives the length of the park and telling it to stop wherever you want to begin your adventure. Tent camping is a traditional campground.
Drive-in campsite vs. hike-in camping area (which may or may not have "campsite" facilities).
The point being made was that, while US prices are higher, they may not outweigh profits from EU sales.

Selling your product for 50% more in the US may not be more profitable than selling in EU where your marketing costs are a lot lower.

Of course you’d sell in all markets where you can, but the claim was that US profits > EU profits because US prices > EU prices.

Also, there’s R&D/education that’s really marketing. E.g. advisory panels, grants to the “right” organizations, agencies or researchers

I've tried .XCompose before, but it didn't seem to work at all (hence the reliable specifier in my TODO :) ). Supposedly uim helps with that, but of course I can't seem to actually compile it (and there ain't a Slackbuild for it), so... <compose>

Going off of my experience with my state park system, there are four types of camping one can do:

1. Building Rental (Cabin, etc.)

2. RV / Camper

3. Park and Camp (Tent)

4. Hike and Camp (Tent)

With #3 you park in a nearby lot and walk to a designated camp site, often times with things like tent pads, benches, tables, grilling areas, etc., roughly a mile or so from the parking lot, usually closer than not. With #4 this is non-trivial hiking and camping in proper wilderness. Sometimes they will have designated camping sites, sometimes it's completely up to you.

I would assume "Tent" is just #3 and "Backcountry" is #4.

The net result of the former is lower drug prices for the US public and a more complex supply chain that will be (ab)used by our already overly complex healthcare supply chains in the US. More indecipherable drug prices and negative externalities from exporting and then re-importing drugs like higher carbon footprints don't seem desirable, even if they're more palatable to the direct policy-averse conservative public.

The net result of tariffs is some combination of: higher costs on the goods purchased by Americans, lower wages paid to the workers making those good, and reduced demand on foreign goods (which may not have a substitute, which may depress the economy). The latter, reduced demand on foreign goods, may in turn hurt foreign economies, reducing their demand on our exports.

Somewhere in that is "higher wages for industrial workers", but it's unlikely tariffs lead to that outcome except in a handful of cases where the US has production capacity available for a substitute good. US steel might be one of said exceptions, because we have large amounts of unused capacity and a comparable or better product, but aren't able to manufacture it as cheaply. It's highly unlikely tariffs on ... checks notes from [1] Alaska pollack (interesting!), child safety seats, and hydrometers are comparable. I don't expect we have huge amounts of latent labor supply just waiting to make these things or manufacturing facilities configured to do so, but I could be wrong.

The net effect of a massive tax cut that disproportionately impacts the wealthy and tariffs that disproportionately affect (nay, target) consumption goods is a regressive tax hike on the majority of Americans.

These aren't left-wing outcomes, they're just bad policies.

I didn't mean to criticise the article, or your posting it; I just would have liked to see a word or two from you to give some context, or just further to spark the conversation.
> I miss those beautiful days when people could read 6 paragraphs of text without getting bored

> Not snarky at all!

This is clearly snarky; you're putting someone down by asserting they don't have the attention span to read six paragraphs and that they'd understand if they did. In reality, I read the whole thing and didn't actually get the point until the very end, which has been echoed by more than a few comments here. When offered constructive criticism to improve the presentation of a project, it's been my experience that poking at the commenter in a condescending manner is a great way to drive off potential users. Whether you intended it this way or not (I believe you did, but mostly because I myself have to work hard from being defensively aggressive) is moot- this is how it was received by each of us who have commented on this specific thread, so be aware of this in the future.
i wont buy a dev machine with less than 32gb.
I know the patch mentions interactive multimedia applications (games) in particular, but an actual mechanism to implement WaitForMultipleObjects on Linux would be very welcome for many high-performance multi-threaded applications.

Say you have one worker thread per CPU core. On Windows, each thread would get an Event object and you would WaitOnMultiple to be able to act on the first unit of work that was complete. On Linux you would have to roll your own solution using lower-level primitives and it will not be correct. Being able to wait on multiple events on Linux will be awesome.
Studies show that more housing means more traffic, unless there's a plan to demolish housing in the suburbs alongside building up the urban core nothing will improve.
Yes, it looks exactly like WaitForMultipleObjects to me. A very reasonable plan. The mutexs aren't being used to exclude critical sections but as completion indicators for various tasks.
Do you have a reliable source for any of the stuff you are claiming to be true? Because you are not making any sense.
Sometimes, it's really hard to find information that confirms a negative. (i.e., confirming that a scenario is not supported)

A while ago I was trying to plan a trip to Death Valley and I was exploring backcountry camping as a possibility. Backcountry camping is possible in Death Valley, but looking at this chart I can see that no one really does it, and it might be best to reconsider my plans.

This is valuable information for individuals planning an overnight stay at any park.

(Of course, it's possible that the data is missing, but I think my point is still valid)
"City has built a lot of housing over the last decade"

The city has build a lot less housing than office space over the course of the last decade, and that is the metric that counts (jobs-housing balance).

"The SF skyline is completely new" - Salesforce tower (office space), 181 freemont (2/3s office space) etc etc.

"SOMA, East cut, Mission Bay, Dog patch are entirely new neighborhoods", and yet still 77% of the land in SF is zoned for single family homes.

SF recently passed the Central Soma rezoning plan which creates an amazon HQ2 worth of office space (space for about 50k workers) but only housing for about 7k people.
San Diego still has lots of areas that are gentrifying from being really crappy, so the NIMBY's aren't up in arms yet. San Francisco has the problem that all those crappy areas got gentrified and now everybody is trying to protect their "investment".

In addition, downtown San Diego isn't really considered to be a place where the cool kids hang out (and still has a lot of industrial area around). So, there is less fighting going on there right now.

The problem is that the transit in San Diego is lousy. The trains are horrifically slow between downtown and Solana Beach. And the limited number of tracks means that Amtrak regularly has to wait for passenger trains, and, if someone jumps in front of a train, the system shuts down for 4 hours.
It will also be regulating prices domestically, sort of. Trump mentioned introducing the "Favored Nations" clause. He just doesn't want to rely on that entirely. Regulating prices domestically == letting some idiot who had never run a business decide what products should cost. It's a dead end. Favored nations basically says you can't sell the product to us at a price that's higher you're charging your other customers, which, to me, makes more sense. You retain pricing flexibility, but not too much of it. I don't see why a European should pay less for a drug than a US person, who likely partially funded the early stages of development of that drug with her federal taxes.

Another issue is that even _generic_ drugs are often wildly overpriced in the US. Canada (or some other country, such as e.g. India, which has a strong pharma industry) could pretty easily just make more of them and exert downward price pressure.

What's unfolding before us here is historic. Previous administrations were all too beholden to Big Pharma to even contemplate any of this.
Although I vehemently disagree with the idea that "science and rationality … [is] another religion"—I'd be OK if we substituted 'dogma' instead—this is exactly the kind of thing that I would have liked to see when I came here, to give me some context and an idea of whether I wanted to read the post. I still think that many of the ideas, even if phrased within a socal-theory framework, don't apply just in that setting—interacting critically with anything is an important skill, soft science, hard science, or non-science—but your alternate perspective is much appreciated.
I understand that's their current policy.

If the US began importing high quantities of drugs from Canada, what prevents Pharma companies from insisting that Canada pay current US prices?

If Canada declines, the companies could stop selling in Canada.

I would think in many cases the profit from selling in Canada at all is less than what they'd lose from allowing them to be imported to the US.
I don't think that can explain it, because IIRC that rule has only been around since Obamacare, but the US/world price disparity for prescription drugs has existed much longer than that.
This is the fluffiest BE article i've read.

> So maybe that’s the real test of Amazon’s pride: can it work out how to let us shop, rather than just buy?

Why even write this article?
As the project scope and customer base continues to grow, the likelihood that you picked all the correct boundaries within the system drops to zero.

When the right boundaries reveal themselves, you can divide the code up. But who is to say those will still be the right ones in ten years?

If you divide the source code into separate repositories before getting the boundaries right, there's a tremendous amount of friction built into the system preventing the problem from being addressed. Each repository has its own actors, cycles, and version control history, and you break two of those when you start trying to move code across project boundaries. So people just hit things with a hammer or steal functionality (three modules with a function that ostensibly does the same thing but with different bugs).

One of the things I see over and over again is people conflating one repository with one lifecycle. One binary. It's possible to have a monorepo with multiple build artifacts. The first monorepo I ever worked on had 60 build artifacts, and it worked pretty well (the separate artifacts weeded out a lot of circular dependencies).

I can still get inter-version dependency sanity checks with a monorepo. When I am writing new code I can have everything talk to localhost (master@head) or I can have it talk to a shared dev cluster (last labelled version) or some of both, allowing me to test that I haven't created a situation where I can't deploy until I've already deployed.
Usually backcountry camping requires hiking in to a site, whereas "tent" camping would refer to stays in frontcountry campgrounds that are usually accessible via a car. With exceptions, tent camping would require a reservation, whereas backcountry camping sites often are occupied on a first-come first-served basis.
What brands would you recommend?
Hmm, the first plot took me a long time to understand - way too much going on.
You encourage businesses to put their offices in a similar location, and on major transit routes. Then, even if A or B switch jobs their commute is still easy.

Yes, although there was an element of luck that Intel 10 nm failed at the same time that TSMC 7 nm came out smoothly. The opposite situation happened back at 32 nm and could happen again.

I'm thinking about Boulder Colorado or Eugene, OR, but I haven't been to those places yet.
In 2001 I went to India and hired a software team and I felt like a total pioneer. These days I'd say we still haven't hit peak international team, but there aren't many companies or people that don't have at least tangential experience with it. Chris and I tell our own stories and reveal our own happy surprises on taking this journey in this week's episode of Mobycast.
I'm prepared to believe that unconscious bias or systemic discrimination is preferentially benefiting liberal students. What alarms me about this idea, and the related one of group privilege, is not that they are necessarily wrong (they quite possibly aren't), but that once you've convinced somebody that they are subject to being unfair in a way that is invisible to them, it's not hard to pull them around by the nose in whatever direction you like.

For that reason, if there's some activity or structure that discriminates against someone who is acting in good faith, it should be addressed specifically. In other words, it should be possible to clearly explain what a problem is and how it functions, rather than tossing around vague accusations of unfairness. By doing so, everybody benefits, and everybody has a fair chance to be heard.
Let's see:

1. Private labels enjoy about 10% extra margin. Amazon is currently scaling private labels and exclusive products(same thing), like mad.

2. Low margin doesn't mean a business is bad, just hard. Walmart is an amazing business, with low margins.

3. Let's say amazon creates a system that can supply everything, to your home, in a few hours, at the lowest price. And customers will really like that.

How many other companies can build that ? maybe 1-2 in the US.

So now you have a duopoly.

4. Amazon controls demand. In the internet age, that's the most important thing.

Could they manufacture their own products ? be responsible to purchase inputs for their manufacturers ? Build something like AWS for manufacturing ?

Who knows.

5. Amazon is growing rapidly in B2B. Not sure, but i believe products there have much higher margins.
Really cool! But it doesn't seem to be deterministic. I played a "perfect move", took it back, played it again, and it was downgraded to something less than perfect. Also, I took a different move back and was presented different pieces to move. Maybe the engine, given a chance to run longer, updates the list of best moves?

My takeaway from your post is "German bureaucracy is even less efficient than Japanese bureaucracy".

Let me clarify: yes, the turn-around time and quality of service is good in Japan. But the input costs are very high manpower AND absolutely astronomical paper consumption. My assertion is that at the very least the consumables costs could be reduced, in the long run, by switching to things like fillable PDF forms, with little or no degradation in quality of service. Japan is a perfect place for PDF forms because there is already a form for almost everything, and there really don't seem to be "edge cases" too often. I should be able to fill in my information at a kiosk and the document gets digitally signed by the reviewing employee (because the government workers should have CACs with digital certificates), and it goes into a file server.....instead of onto a bookshelf. Then you also don't need to allocate manpower to manually transport boxes of documents once a season to the "head office" either.
>Neither of your value systems are true.

Not believing there is any “true” value system is in itself just another value system (or religion), and asserting as such is just as annoying - often more so.
