A colleague and I bought TinyFPGA boards to learn FPGA. So far I can do everything I need with a microcontroller, but would like to get ahead of the game. I got "LED Blink" working, which is the embedded version of Hello World.

It's a great product.

There's definitely a quality gradient from mainstream OS development tools down to FPGAs.

Sure, and he makes the same point:

> Trauma is as old as living creatures; war, disaster, bullying, and rape far predate homo sapiens . . . Our evolutionary history should have prepared us incredibly well for all of this; the brain “getting stuck” in fear mode after a particularly bad trauma should be no more likely than the legs “getting stuck” in running mode after a particularly long chase.

I took his "self-evident" to be from his point of view as a practicing psychiatrist. Whatever our evolutionary history, lots of people present with it in modern times. For someone who treats such people, once you have the concept for it, it becomes very clear what the disorder is.
> That's why everybody uses the word "orthogonal" here all the time. Have you ever seen that word anywhere else?

Yes, frequently. It is common in various areas of math -- mathematical background is not something "normal people" usually flaunt, but there are good reasons to expect programmers to have much more such background than average.

A good rule of thumb is that people are probably using the words they use because those words make sense to them. See the first panel here: http://www.basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2009/1/2...

I'm curious why you would want to deploy CockroachDB in a K8 cluster. Not being critical...genuinely curious. Since it has its own idea of a cluster, it sounds complex to me. Especially since the typical geographically wide CockroachDB cluster would likely span outside a region centric k8s cluster.
Almond milk requires a lot of water to produce but it still take significantly less water to produce than cow milk. Even if you take into account the potential for meat (which is ridiculous because milling cows aren't typical steaks), the amount water used to sustain a cow (through drinking and watering plants) is huge.

If your options are cow vs almond and you want to choose the lesser of evils and only care about the negatives of the almond (water) it's still less evil than cow milk.

I don't know, without Brexit Tesla might have chosen Germany anyway.

There are many good reasons that have already been cited why Germany makes sense, additionally when you're building cars for a whole continent, for shipping reasons it makes sense to build a factory in the middle of it rather than an island on the side.

It's insecure because anyone who intercepts the message can trivially decrypt it by pasting it into their browser.

Yes, self-destructing messages are more secure than simply pasting plain text. But it's offering no protection against eavesdropping, so it's not secure.

That’s not true. The far greater purpose is for the man to signal commitment to his bride. By spending a lot of money, especially if it’s not easy for you to afford it, you signal to her that you are seriously committed to her. You signal that you trust her with something very expensive that would not be easy for you to replace.

You can’t bypass that sort of thing. If the price of diamonds collapsed completely then we’d need to find something else to replace them.
This is still prevalent in small Indian towns and villages. There is a stash of cows nearby and he chooses a cow, brings it to the residence, you provide your wide-container/pail and he milks the cow at your veranda. Milk is served at only one time - early morning.

You still need to boil the milk for several minutes to kill all bacteria.

I prefer almond milk and have been drinking it for 5+ years now. Luckily most stores carry their own brand of Almond milk now which usually costs 25% less than Almond Breeze or a similar brand.
Load all of these? Why would you do that?
Interesting... do these regulations apply only to labels on the actual packaging of the foodstuffs, and not to advertizing, etc?

If I look at, for example, https://www.amazon.com/Almond-Breeze-Original-Milk-32/dp/B07... the picture shows that on the product carton, it's run together as "Almondmilk", but the Amazon listing calls it "Almond Breeze Original Almond Milk".

It's the difference between paying for capacity and paying for consumption. Which is useful, it opens a variety of potential economies and options for both Dell and their customers.

Many customers are fine doing their own planning and dislike being billed after the fact. Charging for capacity is what they want. That is the common case now.

Many other customers resent bearing the risk of over-provisioning or under-provisioning. Charging for consumption solves that for them. That's what Dell is adding. It's not totally new to them, EMC have done something like this for some time now.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, which is part of the Dell EMC keiritsu.

Fat will not kill you as quickly as too much sugar. Most yoghurts have added sugar (insane amounts sometimes). I prefer plain with no added sugar; if I want some other flavoring I can add it myself. Once you get used to the plain varieties the tang is actually very pleasing. Not a big fan of the greek kinds as they are extremely wasteful to make.
When I did some contract work for a big crypto exchange, they required you to provide them the ability to remote wipe any device you used, including your personal phone, for their systems. Since they required you to use Authy I just used an old phone with a throwaway gmail account to set Android up and the beat-to-hell Chromebook they provided that would not hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

VRT is paid whether you buy a new vehicle from a manufacturer in Ireland or elsewhere in the EU. It's also paid if you buy a new vehicle from outside the EU, but in that case there will additionally be import taxes.

It might be that the administration is different (e.g. the large vehicle importer usually pays it, but you pay it yourself if you're buying some exotic Lotus direct from Britain).
I think this approach is the "state machine" approach given in the article. The added complexity in moving to a coroutines/co-operative threading model is balanced by the drastic code reduction, pointed out in the article by "Yes, it's really that dramatic of a difference".
I think the headline's fine actually. It doesn't say there is any general reduction, rather that there is a 'dampening'. That rather implies a change in response to a stimulus .
It isn't corporate but whole societal really. Just look at the decades of "crime and punishment" DA campaigning and it certainly existed before then with literal lynch mobs and used to justify genocide.

It is an emotional lever which has always been exploited essentially even if they called it something different.
It's adding self-destructing messages, so there's that. But, yeah, the lack of protection from eavesdropping is a show stopper.

>It is great news for Berlin (and Brandenburg) as it will bring (big) money and attract talent.

Like the Gigafactory 2 in Buffalo did for New York state?:

But according to SolarCity’s financial statements, state officials “quietly issued a series of 10 amendments” to Tesla, allowing the high-tech jobs to become regular positions and requiring just 500 hires within two years -- down from 900. Tesla told Vanity Fair it was still responsible for creating 5,000 jobs, but the timing for the additional jobs has been extended to 10 years after the factory’s completion.

SolarCity was the center of the Buffalo Billion corruption probe by federal prosecutors, which last year led to high-profile bribery convictions of several people, including Louis Ciminelli, whose firm won the solar plant construction deal.

Can't agree more. We literally have a version controlled Windows image with Vivada just to be able to quickly restore it when it breaks.

Intuitively it would seem like PTSD is a result of a traumatic break in expectations, rather than the trauma itself. Now, here's my reasoning for this.

The brain is essentially a pattern recognizer in the sense that it will look for danger, and consider ways to avoid the danger.[1]

If we think about the nature of trauma in the past, it has been a society where you are told by your surroundings that things like childbirth indeed is a dangerous but necessary undertaking, supported by the idea that your children will be able to take care of you when you're too old to do so yourself. The pre-modern world was a much more dangerous place due to the lack of modern medicine, et cetera.

Now, in the modern world, the expectations about childbirth have also changed for the better. WHO states that between 2000 and 2017 maternal mortality dropped by 38% worldwide.[2]

Going back to the original argument about PTSD, intuitively it makes sense that if you're subjected to a traumatic experience, your resilience (towards PTSD and other disorders caused by traumatic experiences) are very much affected by the individual's expectation towards the traumatic event. If people go through the event, with the expectation that there is a very probable risk that they will die, it seems there is relief in knowing you survived. On the contrary side, could it be the case that having overly optimistic expectations crushed by trauma, lead to the diagnostic symptoms we associate with PTSD?

Until git can merge two conflicting files in a sane way ("git mergetool" launching a custom merge GUI would be fine if it worked - I'm not locked into must be able to us vi to merge)

"Subscriptions are ultimately bad for the buyer because you pay more and get less in most situations." - in efficient markets anything that is good for the supplier will eventually be also good for the customer. Companies compete for customers and if subscription makes one company more stable or cheaper to finance or whatever then there will be soon a competitor using this subscription advantage to offer a better/cheaper product.

Two downvotes and no words. Presumably those downvotes are from butthurt conservative snowflakes? Too bad, I suppose. This is what real right-vs-left discussions look like; people on the right say stupid shit, and then people on the left reply with tough arguments that break their worldview.

Next time, remember that diversity and equality are the only reasons that we ever listen to voices from the right; right-wing messages are so rarely connected to fact and reality that we would be better off discarding them entirely!
Cows need to lactate when they have calves. They're not unending milk machines. They're like other mammals: they lactate to help their young survive. If you don't take away their calf and beat it to death, it'll drink all that milk and the mother cower won't suffer one bit. So is it just the hormones that make this cruel? What happened to the calf and why isn't that cruel?

It is a completely different purpose.

Denmark has high taxes for registering a vehicle for public use to pay for road construction or maintenance and to discourage car use (or rather, to make the people using the roads pay their way).

The EU has import taxes on vehicles to protect its own vehicle industry, to both maintain that industry and the jobs within it.
"Can a neural network predict how many up votes your HN post will have?" or "Can an optimizer find a parametrization of a nonlinear manifold corresponding to tech zeitgeist?"

Absolutely. Odds increase after around 10:30/11am NY time since you get the attention of both coasts for the US audience.
Let me try to make a metaphor for you. Imagine that you create HTML content, and you're considering sharing it with the world. You propose to create a "web server". The DBA next to you says you should just use MySQL. Stunned, you try to explain that your proposed "web server" will communicate using this new "HyperText Transfer Protocol." The DBA counters that SQL is fine. You try to explain about dynamic content and PHP, etc. The DBA counters that SQL stored procedures can do all of that.

Next thing you know, grandma is typing:

SELECT * FROM GOOGLE.COM WHERE TITLE LIKE "%CAT PICTURES%";

That's just an analogy, of course. But perhaps you can imagine your own list of reasons why MySQL didn't replace Apache.

The answer to your question is that we could not possibly use any off the shelf software to provide the interfaces we needed (we were writing our own). By the time we had bytes that we needed to store somewhere, our data was about a GB of complicated structure that we accessed as memory-mapped files. (Look at https://capnproto.org/ for a rough analogy to the kind of access we needed.)

And what I didn't say was that the DBA was literally recommending MySQL BLOBs, storing a bit more than 0.5 MB (512 * 512 * 2 bytes of image data) in each row, having a thousand rows or more per CT scan. The performance of that would have been absolute crap. It made literally zero sense.
I inherited some very nice jewelry, including diamonds, from my grandmother. The "estimate" of the total worth was $20,000. However, when I tried to sell it, it turned out that I would only be able to realize a fraction of that estimate, from maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the "value." All jewelry is like that.

Jewelry prices, for reasons I don't entirely understand, are sort of like car values...once you drive it off the lot, so to speak, the price plummets.

So when I got married I did not ask for a diamond, as I knew it was basically worthless -- except to the jeweler.

With 20 years experience under my belt, it is my firm belief that the workplace is not a place to discuss politics, religion, or other highly personal and divisive issues. Obviously, this extends even more to the workplace itself bringing these topics up.

I'm not aggressive or even obvious about this disposition, I just gently steer clear of violating it. I feel the same should apply to companies, fine if you want to make a stand on some political issue, but don't make a show of it, because it implies that all your employees should agree with your position.

People in the world have different opinions on things, we need to be able to work with eachother on shared interests without making every place and occasion a battleground. If not in the workplace, then where?

On a somewhat related note, I don't consider my colleagues my friends, or, God forbid, the workplace a 'family'. My relationship to my employer is a professional one, trying to disguise this by intermingling personal feelings can only end in tears, when one day you discover that it was such all along, only you deluded yourself (or let yourself be led) into thinking differently.
A common misperception about ptsd is that it results from discrete traumatic events or episodes. It doesn't in general. More often it results from discrete or continuous traumatic events or episodes together with one or more of alienation, lack of social support, or ostracization. That is one reason why not everyone who experiences a shared traumatic event will develop PTSD.

So what is maladaptive are there breakdown in social ties and cultural/social infrastructure and process for supporting humans going though hell, not, in fact, my PTSD, thanks
