I'm guessing the cable has an esp8266 on board which you can get cheaply and is only a few mm2. It has WiFi and WiFi direct support and is powerful enough to run a webserver. Probably there are plenty chips that do the job, but the esp8266 (and its successor esp32) is very popular for custom hardware due to being cheap and easy to program
HK is very small; that would worry me. If you have ever been there... I walk everything there; I only take the MTR to cross Kowloon<>Central or the ferry Lamma<>Central. There is some beautiful nature but it is not vast; there is no massive landmass to hide out etc. We are talking 400.000+ km^2 vs less than 1500 km^2... You cannot 'retreat to the mountain hideouts'.
blockchain and silicon valley don't really play too nice together, which is why you see so much chain dev done outside of the valley in places like Seattle, NYC or Switzerland.

I don't like the term technical debt at all. It's really just a way of saying a feature is willfully incomplete in some respect. A feature that using pulls from git instead of having a CMS isn't debt-laden anymore than a house without a garage is.
Hey HN, my goal with Divjoy is to make it ridiculously easy to start a new React project. You just select all the things you want in your codebase (UI kit, React framework, auth provider, analytics, form handling, etc), pick a template, then export it as a complete codebase that you can keep building on. All the UI logic like routing and auth flows just works. It also has a built-in editor which I think is pretty nifty. You can view the entire component hierarchy right in the tool and drag in pre-built sections from the component library. I'm planning on building out a large library of components across all the major UI kits (Bootstrap, Material UI, etc) and adding support for Next.js soon.

This was by the far the most difficult project I've ever built. Would love to hear your thoughts and happy to answer questions.

I am not sure there's a specific copyright applicable there. You can ask Google to remove your website's data from their index (primarily via robots.txt)... but of course, that also delists you from search. Essentially Google has left the impossible choice to either let them steal your data for free or accept not being findable in the primary search engine on the Internet.

I dont think it would have that bad of consequences. Look at what Saudis are doing, they literally are leveling blocks and no one really does anything about it.
Some Philips sonicare toothbrushes use(d) a 4-bit microcontroller from an obscure Swiss company. (From memory, since I can't find the EEVBlog video teardown) 52 bytes of RAM, custom size mask ROM, ? Kilohertz clock speed. It makes sense, they just needed a timer for the "2 minutes of brushing is up" feature, and maybe some battery management. It still surprised me that it was worth the hassle to save a few cents, even if they sell millions of the things. They must make insane margins: $80 for a vibration motor and $25 brush refills.
Anthropogenic warming hypothesis states:
1) Human activities have a net warming effect
2) that effect is large

I have read 2007 IPPC report and evidence of the above two claims is burried under mountains of fear mongering and dire predictions about the consequences of the claims being correct. The actual evidence is barely addressed and comes down to trusting a handful of computer models that only a few dozen people understand.

Recent warming amount and rate is not unusual for the earth's recent pre-human past.

When you add to this the myriad of political causes that have latched on to anthropogenic hypothesis being true, its pretty reasonable that informed individual is sketical. Especially with authoritarians calling for violence and censorship against"climate deniers".
The article is wholly ambiguous about whether your example counts as 1 search or 4 searches.
I understand your stand, but what Google did with its featured snippets is essentially a form of bait and switch. It encouraged entrepreneurs and creators to create content that could answer specific queries with the promise that Google will drive traffic to their sites.

Now Google is using the same content and depriving them of the traffic.

That's pretty scummy in my opinion.
True, but only if ECC is necessary. In this case where he is mainly using the server for experiments and to try software, regular ram will do absolutely fine.

Unfortunately I can only speak with regard to Python, but I don't mean to dismiss your views.

The language isn't perfect, but I'm sure the languages you love have flaws as well.

Regarding interactive language, can you give an example? I've tried to search and while I can find a lot of examples of what I mean in the context of Python I can't see anything that gives me good info regarding Common Lisp, Erlang, or Smalltalk.

Also, can you answer my question whether you were leveraging libraries when you used Python or trying to create all your own solutions to issues?
It is very fortunate that it wasn't a zero-day then! I'm not sure if it was a "scramble" since it sounds like from the ticket it was ignored until the deadline got close... although it would be interesting to see the activity on Microsoft's internal bug tracker.
Office is going the other direction and moving more of the "full-featured" Office components to React Native and sharing them with the web. Teams was built as a quick spike by the SharePoint team to prove they could slackingly build a chat client. It might not be a surprise if it moves to React Native in the future.

They know that doing the right thing costs money. But customers will usually vote with their wallet, I.e., buy the cheaper option. Doing the right thing is usually punished by customers looking for the cheaper option, the company will go bankrupt, or shareholders will revolt by the bad results.

If you want change you have to convince the customers or force change through government.

The good thing with a second amendment, from the point of view of an authoritarian regime, is that if you arm loyalist militia to gun down protestors, you have plausible deniability. Look at Ukraine. A lot of weapons in the population, makes it easier for Russia to support a side without direct involvement.
I thought that was exactly the kind mentioned first:

If not, can you say more about the difference? I'm interested.
I think for $1700 with the memory/storage capacity that's a great deal, but those benchmarks can be topped by the higher-tier consumer CPUs today.

The point on people being happy with slower CPU cores is kind of weird to bring up with a server. Most games don't push CPUs that hard, you usually need a really expensive GPU before you see noticeable benefits in gaming from faster processors.

Having done some core critical work for the last few years (media processing/systems programming), my recent upgrade from a 4th gen i7 to a Zen2 CPU is paying in spades. If I was building a server to do some of the batch processing stuff I'd like, I would definitely invest in a faster, cooler, more power efficient machine. But that's just me. I don't think I could beat that price point though.

I almost went down this sort of road and went 3900x instead. I think the one non-replicated benefit of the older server route is cheap & large amounts of ECC ram, but you're also getting slower ddr3 ram which is why the pricing works out the way it does. I was in that same pricing ballpark with a new-build ryzen with a 2070 super, I think you could make it pretty much equivalent but maybe trading 64gb of fast ddr4 ram for the 128gb of ddr3. As long as you can "make by" with 24 cpu threads I think you'll be in a much better position at same-ish cost but with new / full warranty components but that's just my math :-).
It's really not. Even on my MacBook Air 2019 loading of the different communities is slow. Feedback for example at least takes 3,4,5 seconds. While Apple Mail is measurable in milliseconds.

Also when logging into hacker news it's loading an internal web view instead of a popup, a popup safari web view would be better because of password autofill.
There are sites that let you find and create a proper notch filter for free. You can then play them on loop in iTunes at your desk. Or on speakers as you sleep.

I believe this is the only research based treatment for tinnitus right now.

I also have it from too many raves. I can’t wear headphones anymore including AirPods.

Notch filters work some but healthy living has a big effect for me. Enough sleep, exercise, easy on intoxicants etc.

But just reading about and thinking about it is allowing me to hear something I normally tune out okay. It is sad what I’ve done to my hearing though. I wish there was a “cure.”
There is a spec, just not a formal fixed in time one. There's only one reference implementation so that might as well be taken as the de-facto spec.

Yeah, hearing people over background noise is probably the thing that I struggle with the most. It's been a pretty big social hindrance, especially when I was in college. In crowded social areas like bars and restaurants it's very difficult for me to understand what people are saying. As a result, I ended up being the weird guy just sitting there not saying anything all night because I was unable to carry on a conversation. Hearing aids never seemed to help, because they amplified the background noise too.

I have a good example of no IOU. Friend 20 years ago worked on a content streaming platform. They needed a dispatcher and someone wrote one in TCL in a week. Just to get something working. And they never got around to replacing it because it worked 'fine'. Turned out while everything else needed to be hyper efficient and scale the dispatcher not really.
It's a business decision which will make them more money.

In Universe A they sell only the most powerful version of the product for 1x price and them make some money.

In Universe B they sell the most powerful for 1x AND a slightly less powerful version for 0.9x price and they make MORE overall profit.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing. There are customers who will want to pay less and not need the most powerful product.

I fail to see how the company in Universe B is morally worse than those in Universe A. One could argue they are superior, in that they offer more choices.
Or, the 3rd option, actually step up and show some leadership. The communist party higher ups just make ominous, nationalistic but cryptic statements. Carrie Lam is hiding in her bunker and she's pretty much a lame duck now. The police leadership could easily step in as an arbiter, but have decided to act as a political arm of the government rather than a professional keeper of the peace. I don't see anyone in leadership actually engaging in public discourse and trying to solve or negotiate solutions to the problems/demands the protesters are placing at their doorsteps - which are real political and economic problems that, not only HK, but the rest of China, eventually have to face.

People often don't realize how old the science behind climate change is. There's an excellent discussion at https://history.aip.org/climate/20ctrend.htm#M_35_ ; quoting from that paragraph: "Returning to old records, in 1986 the group produced the first truly solid and comprehensive global analysis of average surface temperatures, including the vast ocean regions, which most earlier studies had neglected. They confirmed that there had been considerable warming from the late 19th century up to 1940, followed by some regional cooling in the Northern Hemisphere. Global conditions had been roughly level until the mid 1970s. Then the warming had resumed with a vengeance. The warmest three years in the entire 134-year record had all occurred in the 1980s."
Exxon not taking it seriously in the 80s seems less extreme than politicians denying it in 2019 when the physical evidence is all around us.
I built a very similar computer and tbh I prefer to use an 8th gen core-i7 at 4.8ghz as it is faster and less power-hungry for most everyday applications. Javascript, for example, is mostly single-threaded and you can see a noticeable difference in web loading times.
Smells for me are sphere like with usually one color, but occasionally a gradient between two or three. But the big difference is the texture or peaks and valleys on the shape.
The encryption key is on the blockchain, but not your files, and you can choose whatever storage provider you want when you sign up. So you are free to remove all your fills, and they will be erased entirely, although they are heavily encrypted and you are the only person that have the keys.

Is there an issue with universal agreement in politics? If so, is it then political or merely logistical and practical concern?

I dont think our polarized times has to mean that all discord and disagreement is politics. For instance, we could disagree on the fundamentals of a topic yet agree on a solution and politically compromise to enact laws. For instance, how much regulation? Some say none, some say a lot, disagreement fundamentally, but politics is also about the subsequent agreement on compromise.

In short, I dont think we can redefine politics as disagreement. Politics is more about social and rhetorical maneuvering towards a desired end state. That maneuvering is necessary due to conflict and disagreement, but the part is not the whole.
I wonder if part of the answer is different habits with respect to perfumes, soaps, and also in how homes are furnished, decorated, maintained and what products are used (cleaning, detergent). And smoking, too.

I could tell a friend had just left their home from the odor when they lived at a particular place¹, and sometimes, I can tell if some item of clothing has been left at some place (not that I'm special at that).

The odor the author of the article could smell at her place after renting it for a month could have been a (mix of) perfume(s) their guests used.

Obviously, people have their own odor on top of (or under, more accurately?) that.

¹ in a forest ­-- no, I'm joking.
Yeah, but if you don't get any clicks, that choice is no longer impossible: you're providing value without getting any in return.

I didn't know until researching my reply here, that Canada (where I live) actually locally farms the mini Ladyfingers available in our markets. Talk about 180 degrees of separation.

Similarly they are expensive, and people mainly opt for the larger/cheaper Cavendish. I always thought the mini Ladyfingers are more child friendly both for size and for sweetness, but rarely see them outside of fancy fruit salads. It's still very much a mono-culture, even when there are outliers.

So yes, my black/white statement should have been more of a 90/10 fuzzy grey one.

There is very little (financial) incentive to go up against Cavendish in an attempt to compete, because anything you need to do to find a tasty cultivar with thicker skins and stable shipping/handling will continually run into Cavendish related patents in the process.

BTW: Sadly, even though the Ladyfinger bananas are distinct from Cavendish, they are equally susceptible to the same deadly plant diseases. If one disappears, so probably does the other. Our temporary diversion is back on track with the subject at hand.
To me they even sound the same after you explained them.

Not being able to pay back money sounds like the same as not being able to fix bugs.
It's perfectly reasonable to consider cost - which is what this move entails - when deciding whether or not to protect a species. We already employ this calculus, in that we are not spending our entire national budget on protecting some endangered subspecies of river fish in Arkansas. Anyone suggesting we do such a thing would be laughed at, because it's not worth it to spend all that money protecting fish.

The protection of obscure species concerns a small portion of activists very much, and they are very loud in their activism, but there are other large portions of the population that don't care nearly as much and would prioritize economic growth over protecting endangered species. The activists' personal convictions are not more important or more valuable than those of people who don't care as much for endangered species. They're just different, and the activists tend to be louder and more passionate in voicing them.

I admit my experience is mostly with JS deployed on Linux, but ASP.NET seems like a good framework with awesome tooling. Also using the same language on the frontend and backend is very useful and I consider C# the best option for Windows frontend work.

Not that I'm saying NodeJS backend with Website/Electron frontend is bad, but ASP.NET backend with WPF frontend seems great as well, just with more enterprise-oriented trade-offs, support cycles longer than one year but no cross-platform support (yes, ASP.NET core is a thing now, but that's a very recent development).

And compared to the cost of engineers I don't think many companies are that worried about spending 50% more on infrastructure.
> we'll need to actively manage the entire carbon cycle. aka Garden Earth.

This I agree with.

In all this turmoil and disappointment that we screwed up our ecosystem, regardless of whoever is at fault, it's about time we step up to evolve into a specie which can control their home planet's climate to a large extent.

I may be day dreaming but I see controlling climate as next progression in our evolution.
And when I say "controlling climate", I don't mean it at expense of arresting development or hoping that people will just stop indulging themselves etc.
