IMHO If your just going to blatantly copy a board your better off desoldering all the components and scanning or photocopying the board, then your hole spacing is layed out too. Otherwise I think it would be better to start with the ICs locate their support components such as pull up resistors or timing caps and you will start to see the groups of electronic components forming circuit blocks similar to how you can see functions and routines in source code. For the example shown it would almost be easier to just google "schematics for a 12v pulse battery charger".
We haven't seen the implementation details for Gaia-X, but it would not be unreasonable for it to include that priviledged persons (admins, company management) by EU citizens and resident in the EU, or possibly even FR/DE only. Full document below in Deutch.

China and Russia obviously have their own systems, but many other countries some some element of national control which is less obvious. Japan certainly has a mature native cloud capability, although it would be highly disruptive to move everything to it.

Its like plans to be 'cloud agile', it doesn't work unless you deploy to both every time, and you probably just double your cost and bugs for deployment ops. So the tendency will be towards cloud balkanization. Which could really suck, or it could force a path away from proprietary APIs towards standards, which will suck in a different way.

This seems really interesting. Could you explain more about the strong force and this "kinetic mass" effect? I thought quarks had mass, and that's where my mass comes from?
Well, technically you should then block people from these countries irrespective of where they reside. They have extended families back in their home countries, so the spooks can still lean on them quite heavily, and there's nothing they'll be able to do.

This is why I refused to obtain a DoD security clearance when my job needed me to: I go to Russia to visit my family every 2-3 years, and I don't want to be in any way valuable to their intelligence services or the like, nor do I want to put myself or my family in danger.

All of the above is in spite of me having spent most of my life in the US by now.

IMO a better solution is for nobody to have permanent access, and granting it on as-needed basis, with a full audit trail. It's not perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than the ineffectual geography-based blocking that you are implementing.
One use case where short TTL-s make sense is running a service on a residential network where a power outage or router reboot can trigger an IP address change. If the IP address changes then you won't be offline for too long.

The Democratic party you think you belong to isn't the Democratic party that is today. Far from it. And that's the problem.

As a classical liberal I identified myself with the Democratic party far more so than the GOP on many layers. What is out there today has nothing to do with what this party was about 30 years ago. Today, they are dangerous. The ideas they are pushing are destructive. If they gain overwhelming power they will destroy this nation.

I've seen this playbook before in Latin America --many times-- it doesn't end well. It's about to be played yet again in Argentina with the new government that was just elected. There are people already trying to figure out how to get the hell out before the mutation into Venezuela sets in.

You say you are a Democrat. You are on HN. I somehow doubt the total lack of mathematical honesty in a ridiculous 52 trillion dollar disaster of a healthcare plan would not cause you projectile vomiting. These people are dangerous. They actually believe this stuff. And if they gain power we are all going to suffer for it.

The proper context is external to the US: China. They are laughing their asses off right now and just hoping people like Warren or Bernie ascend to power. If they get another eight years of unimpeded growth they will ascend to the first economy of the world and be unstoppable. There are very few industries left in the US and Europe that they can't absorb. They would love for the US to go full-tilt left and, as a result, cause severe damage to it's economy. It would clear the path to supremacy. And then we get the reality of a world led by China, with hooks into absolutely everyone.

Bangalore to Canada PM move financially sense if earning INR 4.5M?
Does it make sense to move from Bangalore to Canada if you are earning INR 4.5M per year in India? The job market in Bangalore is vibrant. However, the quality of life is poor - bad roads, traffic, pollution. Also, Canada is obviously a lot more beautiful and comes with all the hassle free living that the first world can boast of.

Would especially appreciate responses from people who've made the move.
Not sure if you’re suggesting using local stack for production but if you are, I’m not sure that’s it’s intended purpose.
This the first time I’ve ever heard of local stack, but just judging by their website, they don’t seem to be trying to replace AWS for production. They are just trying to offer devs a local testing environment.
The field of information technology is still in its infancy. Had it been more mature, we would already have formalised the distinction between the researcher, the engineer and the craftsman, so commonly seen in other fields.

Our current use of titles is loose and very imprecise, and serve as marketing more than anything else. I would like to see a formal distinction between the different roles.

Douglas Engelbart, Dennis Ritchie, Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds are not "developers" or "programmers".

Engelbart was a "computer scientist" in the true sense of the word. His systems saw little practical application, but they enhanced our understanding of what computing machines could do.

Ritchie, Stallman and Torvalds are engineers. If they were in the car industry, they would be renowned engine and drive train engineers.

Your typical programming job, on the other hand, is equivalent to the title of "mechanic", "construction worker" or "craftsman".

Many people who enter the field don't actually want to be craftsmen, but since we are so poor at making the distinction, we get misunderstandings. There are retired programmers who worked in the business for 30 years who never quite understood why the job turned out to be so different from what they had imagined.

One consequence of making this distinction is that a hierarchy of exclusivity inevitably emerges from this. There are far more car mechanics than drivetrain engineers. Only so many people have the privilege of doing that.

I don't know if the supply of computer engineers and computer scientists is smaller or greater than the demand, but what I do know is that these jobs aren't the kind you find on a job site. They are found through networking, which requires you to have the right kind of network, which isn't possible for everyone who would be a good fit for the position.

Is there any accepted standards for having Document Type Definition in JSON?
Is it just me or does JSON still lack a community accepted way of having a self validating document.

I've been paying attention to development of CBOR and I am quite interested in the CDDL standard that is being developed for validating CBOR data.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-cbor-cddl-00#section-4.2

However it is not quite like XML, especially how XML DTD tag links to a document type definition file.

What would be the trajectory of JSON in regards to self validation and is it even needed?

----------

Side Note: I quite like the semantic tagging of CBOR and it would be great if JSON or anything that succeeds JSON would take semantic tagging into mind.
The Title of Nobility / Emoluments Clause [1] and the natural born (and age) qualifier are fairly specific as to what the framers thought were overly corrupting influences for the office of president.

They notably did not include "or family".

The expectation presumably being that foreign powers were clearly enough signalled to tread carefully with regards to exerting pressure on government officials.

At high levels, that seems reasonable. At lower levels, where there's less scrutiny and less opportunity for diplomatic redress? "Reasonable" measures seem murkier.

Asking people what they want is a very small part of it. You research by watching how users interact with the system, then you take risks by experimenting and seeing if changes improve the outcomes or not.
There's another issue you may not be aware of, which is what I was describing, based on how my phone displayed it. The ∇ (U+2207) you just said for Stalin∇ and ∇SLAM is a different character to the one on the Github page, 𝛁 (U+1d6c1)! The latter character is outside the BMP, so will lead to plenty of compatibility and font issues. For me on Firefox on Android, it shows up as a blank grey wide character rectangular block (Chrome on Kubuntu it's fine). The symbol, when it displays properly, is pronounceable if you know the maths, but will probably hurt SEO etc. If you must use one of these, definitely use ∇, as that should be well supported (just hard to type and search for).
We still do, but now it has more of a Dr. Evil vibe. “Eight million bytes.”
Haha. I obviously can't prove it but take my word for it that I said this about 10 years ago. The network is the most important part... if you have a killer network of angels, potential early founders, college buddies and tech industry/startup veterans, you might not need YC if you can hustle early customers, seed money and early workers. If you're young or coming from a different industry or area, YC is likely a Good Thing™ for you. YC should be a net benefit for you you/cofounders (and a blast), or don't do it. Then, once you have one failure (lesson learned) or success (some other lessons learned) under your belt, rinse, improve and repeat until you change the world (and perhaps make stupid amounts of money).

The problem of taking control over complex systems the size of climate isn't about knowledge or technology; it's a coordination problem.

They're non-obvious and can bite you in several ways. A lot has been written about why triggers are bad (random example: https://www.itprotoday.com/development-techniques-and-manage...). Back before service layers were common and desktop clients connected to the database directly they were common and just about everyone has some war stories of triggers breaking things.

Press is often not even wrong about climate, and isn't even scaremongering properly. I'd say that accurate scaremongering involves mentioning things like "mass migrations", "loss of habitable land" and "opening up resource-rich areas", which cause things like "humanitarian crisis", "war", "mass starvation" and "collapse of technological civilization". I'd like to see press that dares to mention that.

At least Apple in this case actually provided a reason and list of APIs it is unhappy with. Armed with this you could either in theory or actuality chase through the maze of your app's dependencies. If this happened to me I'd then have a fighting chance of moving forward.

On the other hand, plenty of rejections I've anecdotally encountered are far less obvious and boil down to "we say so". Then you get banned while you still wonder. Google have done this a few times to others I know.

Actually, the most important part is clinker manufacturing which then leads to Portland cement that leads to concrete. If manufacturing occurred in a sealed chamber and adding a step that consumes or captures carbon emissions would be a logical improvement considering it is a nontrivial amount of GHG emissions.

Lime is a close second, but not as important when compared to the energy needs and chemical processes involved in clinker manufacturing.
Absolutely, I'm not sure about the poster's intent, but his concerns still apply to using it for developer testing

If your application uses features that don't work in LocalStack, it can be very tricky to start using LocalStack to test that application. Conversely, if you are already using LocalStack to test/develop your application, that may discourage you from using AWS features which might be a good fit, but aren't supported by LocalStack.

Also, I would certainly recommend against solely testing with LocalStack, since you may run into situations where it behaves slightly differently than AWS, and if you develop targeting LocalStack's behavior, you could end up with bugs when AWS behaves differently in production.
If you want to be serious about it, you probably have to temporarily revoke access privileges for anyone in that job role who is traveling there too.
I'll shoot off at a different angle from the other posts here. I'm a blue-collar dev doing web development. I feel the syntax of the major scripting languages is relatively small and the amount that you have to know even smaller. Many developers can just shoot from the hip and get by with some doc look-ups along the way and get things done. Maybe you don't know the prettiest syntax, but you can work around it something which works good enough. You could probably significantly strengthen that grasp with a little bit of scheduled time doing nothing but leveling up on syntax. Or maybe you never find the time to do that and you still manage to get things done. And keep in mind that editors help out a bit with this as well.

I find the difficulty in memorizing is in library usage and all the other stuff which is outside of the syntax. When I'm getting kicked in the head, it's maybe trying to remember how to do something in Git. Or maybe I have to remember the sequence of some development process. Or maybe I forgot a password I never bothered to enter in my manager. There's loads of things you get a cognitive beating from, but syntax doesn't strike me as the worst.
Yep completely agree. FRP sucks. FP rocks.
As is hubris
> Now name the Democrats trying to replace capitalism...I'll wait.

That's the wrong question or perspective. What they are trying to do is cause enough damage that the only option left will be for people to depend on government support, jobs, etc. That grows government large and ultimately fundamentally changes this nation to the core.

You can't say "let's replace capitalism"...because you just can't do it that way. California is a perfect example of the kind of planned manipulation I am talking about. We are paying incredible amounts of money for our fuel. Much more than in other parts of the nation. There's an agenda here to push everything related to climate change and "green", whether it makes sense or not. So our roads are not maintained, our fuel taxes go through the roof and politicians ignore cries for help. Their objective is to force everyone onto some mythical form of public transportation that can never work in CA, but that's not going to stop them. They close entire road lanes to create space for a few bikes and create massive traffic jams in the process. So it isn't about coming right out and saying "we want to replace capitalism", it's about having that as a plan and then plotting a series of measures that will cause so much damage that, over time, that will be the result.

Let's forget the socialist label for a moment.

Here's reality: Not one of the people proposing these extreme ideas has ever lived, and much less managed, anything even remotely close to what they are proposing to do.

Let's assume for a moment that they sincerely believe --not know, but believe-- these ideas are good. People like AOC have been indoctrinated by schooling into pretty much that world view. She and the others have never actually lived in the kind of society they so enthusiastically champion.

It stands to reason that, if one is going to push for certain ideas the sensible thing to do is look at history and try to understand if these ideas, when applied, produced results at least equivalent to and ideally superior to the status quo.

Well, we have history on these ideas. Lots of it. Across multiple continents, cultures, nations and time. And there isn't a single success story anyone can float to the surface. Quite to the contrary, the common denominator is that the result of adopting these ideologies is disastrous. Poverty and misery increase. Economic development collapses. Social inequality increases. Government grows large. Populations grow dependent. And darkness takes hold.

We have people pushing for the equivalent of coffee enemas to cure cancer. It might sound interesting, but there isn't one single bit of evidence that it does as promised and lots of evidence showing it causes harm. To make things even more interesting, those pushing for coffee enemas have never had one themselves and, instead, are the beneficiaries of everything they say is bad in our current system.

As I have said many times: This isn't a matter of opinion. It's a matter of history. These people are dangerous.
The way I understand it is that we just don't want an erratic climate with lots of mood swings.

By the way, on the topic of a changing climate and especially when climate at x changes to y, y changes to z, changes to etc; that is what some of my research is about in the context of agriculture.

Edit: Somewhat obviously, we also don't want to lose current biodiversity.
You've missed the reveal. The next paragraph:

> Luckily we have a natural experiment in terms of parapsychology – the study of psychic phenomena – which most reasonable people believe don’t exist, but which a community of practicing scientists believes in and publishes papers on all the time.

And now for the cliffhanger: so how does real science fare against its control group? (The answer is in the article.)
Not really! The Higgs mechanism explains why elementary particles, such as quarks and electrons, have non-zero mass.

Almost all of the mass of ordinary matter is composed of nucleons (protons and neutrons), which are made of 3 quarks each. But the quarks' masses only account for about 1% of a nucleon's mass. The quarks are bound together incredibly tightly by the strong nuclear force (mediated by gluons), and it's the mass-energy associated with this gluon field that is responsible for the remaining mass.

use a small flood light to illuminate through the board, and avoid having to keep flipping it over to swap and paste the two sides in your head.

when you have layered boards you want to be sure there are only the two sides to the board, and no inbetween layers, especially when the component holes are plated through not just drilled. The most layers ive experienced [11 trace layers] was a slightly dated logic analyzer/ DSO Oscilloscope combo, fisher lab products i think.

now adays you can have component layers in the board structure not just traces.
