> This doesn't quite work out as well as Google Fi because they don't have the other half of the equation which is to jump to a mobile provider when there's no valid wifi connection.

That's the key though. Even if you have 97% coverage without it, if that other 3% could be when your car breaks down on the side of the road, people aren't going to be willing to switch off their existing wireless service which does work there.

But add existing wireless carriers as metered data which costs nothing unless you use it, and you satisfy that blocking factor and get the customer.
I'd imagine most folks in Romania can also easily get away with never owning a car in their lifetime, without any perceivable negative connotations to their quality of life, whilst it's not really a possibility in most parts of the US, especially in California.
I live in SF next to a muni station and to get there I would need to take the muni, then the bart, then the bus. For a total of one hour at least. Driving in no traffic would get me there in 20min.
> A solution is not following the news, but rather reading expert insights about current events (root causes of massive inmigration, drug wars and the involvement of three-lettered federal agencies, deregulation of private healthcare and higher education, etc.)

But... but that would lead to the public turning against those responsible for these things. Cannot let that happen!

Sarcasm aside: there is an insane amount of money and profits involved and I am not sure how a publication that delivers proper journalism is supposed to be financed. The funding needs to be massive to account for headcount as well as legal defense, a lot of advertising to tell people about its existence, and it should not be ads (create an implicit threat on the publication to not report on those who book ads), philantropists (people rich enough to fund a newspaper are exactly those people that should be investigated) or taxes (politicians can cut these at any moment)...
Yeah, this was my understanding, but I kept it vague since I don’t claim to be any kind of expert. Otoh, I suspect for this reason that the choice of 80 columns particularly was not motivated by CRT limitations. Could be wrong but it’s not like CRT tech was new in the 70s, and we’re talking about monochrome here.
All public encryption algorithms have backdoors in their implementation and sometimes (as with Elliptic Curve standards from NIST adopted in the browser) in their spec.

You might get lucky if you have a cryptographer design you a custom algorithm but that's mostly security thru obscurity and if a state actor really wanted to defeat it they may just kidnap the cryptographer at gun point and have them reveal how to.

Cryptography as a weapon against state actors is NO LESS BRAINLESS than the right to bear arms to protect against the US gov. Just completely useless, if not brain dead.
I guess you dodged a bullet then.
I have no clue about this situation, but given the allegations, this looks like it would be better handled as a slander and libel case in court.

It may be superior if there's ongoing maintenance and improvements on the original code.

RiiR certainly has it's place though. Ripgrep for me as a user is vastly superior to grep and a large reason for that I see is in the safe optimizations allowed by the borrow checker. They're certainly possible in C, but it wouldn't be maintainable.

Also I'd look at how stable the library is you're wrapping and the size of the code base. It may be lower effort to rewrite than to wrap.

Well, if we fail to develop solutions to clean up after ourselves, we won't need to worry about climate stability because we'll all be dead. So that's one way to handle things.
That's not what "technically" means. From the Wikipedia quote, it's literally not in the City and County of SF and is just owned by the government. It's very much south of the city because it's technically not in the city.

How do Chisel/FIRRTL handle inference of built-in primitives like synchronous RAM blocks in FPGAs?

I have built my own HDL, which is basically "cleaner Verilog" and not a generator-style approach like Chisel,
and gets compiled to Verilog. One big problem I had was how to describe RAM blocks with synchronous
read/write ports, or even worse, RAM blocks with two independent ports which are both synchronous
read/write (i.e. BlockRAM in Xilinx FPGAs).

My intention was to make the HDL more powerful than just providing BlockRAM as a built-in module that
can be instantiated, because this way the "assignment" of the read/write port, which determines clock/enable
logic, can be merged into other synchronous blocks using the same clock and enable signals (nested if-statements),
thus be more readable. But I never found an easy way to "extract" the BlockRAM's output register and enable
out of a statement block, short of writing a full primitive inference system myself (which I tried to
avoid).

Without such extraction, I could only convert the statement to a Verilog statement and rely on the inference
from Xilinx's tools. I ended up with "patterns" that the hardware developer has to use, very similar to Xilinx's
primitive instantiation templates, which would be compiled to the appropriate patterns in Verilog. Naturally
this takes several tries until Xilinx's tools recognize what I intended to build. In retrospect, providing
built-in submodules would have been easier.
I've heard that https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2109 (the cookie RFC) was originally meant to not allow third-party cookies by default.

In my opinion, cookies on cross-site requests (third-party cookies) should be sent to web servers under a different request header, since they're semantically different (do not necessarily imply user authorization and intent) from cookies attached to a request initiated by the user from a first-party page.
The fact that Intel has an order of magnitude bigger R&D budget than AMD but still losing on many key metrics means that Intel is either doing a really bad job or AMD is full of geniuses. Nobody is saying that Intel does nothing, but they could have done so much more if they managed it better.
I tend to agree - Vista's security improvements were its best feature, and they also broke a lot of stuff and resulted in a bunch of annoying UAC pop-ups that confused users and probably encouraged them to get in the bad habit of saying "yes" to everything.
I mean, all of these are true. WSJ's quarterly profit decline is probably the least accurate headline. To be honest, the fact that they have a YoY revenue decline is much more significant.

I think the current binary law (either gross revenue or net receipts for everybody) is flawed. We have to acknowledge different kind of companies exist. One method of taxation cannot be applied to all. Specifically if you engage in activity like trade and your margins are low, gross revenue taxation is clearly unfair. But devising a balanced and bulletproof taxation system that would protect honest companies while preventing abuse seems extremely hard.

The climate crisis being what exactly, other than hyperbole? It's 2019. Not one month this year has been higher than the highs of 1998. Over 30 years have passed since the global warming hypothesis was presented and we have yet to see runaway global warming. Northern hemisphere snowfall totals are more than one standard deviation above average, presently.

We are on track for similar if not higher levels of snow this year.

That being said, you should worry more about cold temperatures than warm temperatures, because cold temps destroy crops.

GA usually comes from a Google-domain.

Indie Hackers is an amazing community, I'm always inspired when I go to the site and see companies at different stages helping each other out.

Your products page is great, I often check it out to see how revenues are going watch products grow. I find the "stripe-verified" feature to invaluable, as most self-reported numbers seem to be a little inflated.

Hopefully I can launch my own product one day, I've done a lot of open-source projects and toys, but making something people want and want to pay for is my ultimate goal.

Also, great work with the podcast, I really like your interview style, you always ask interesting questions and truly listen to your guests.

Given that most democratic nations have a (relative) diversity of political parties and opinions in principle that seems like a reasonable idea. However unless you institute a strong system of oversight then the same problems with commercial outlets apply just on a grander scale. A state broadcaster can just as easily be co-opted to favour one political faction or another, if you get the right journalists into the organisation.

Currently there is considerable disquiet in Scotland over the role that BBC Scotland plays in suppressing the idea the the country should be independent. The root of the problem appears to be that the Labour Party made a concerted effort to have pro Labour journalists employed at the organisation. As a result the output from the organisation is considerably pro-Union and against the current Scottish Government.

You can take the following website with a pinch of salt if you like but it does give a good example of how a state broadcaster can be perceived as being actively against a given group or agenda despite the remit that they are supposed to be a neutral player,

”As I mentioned in 2017, in "Use future date while making git commits", Git has started to adopt a different and dedicated timestamp_t type.

As illustrated in Legilibre/Archeo-Lex issue 47:

Dates are now using the timestamp_t type, defined as typedef uintmax_t timestamp_t;, in place of unsigned long type, in order to fix some issues on 32bits platforms... and Windows 64 bits ^^.

The project archeo-lex.fr (which depends on older dates) is using git hash-object, combined with the Git repo viewer Legilibre/Archeo-Lex-web.

This is now (Feb. 2019) done, as commented by Seb35“

Yeah. There's nothing special, it's purely a library which you can reimplement yourself in haskell or in other languages.

The only thing special about it is the IO thing I mentioned which is an intrinsic part of the language.

I know you mentioned javascript earlier, just know that while javascript CAN technically have monads, you kind of have to go out of your way to implement it. If you get some experience with a language that has an GADT system and really nail down the concept of a functor you'll see the full power of the monad.

I generally would avoid using a monad with languages that don't have GADT systems.
