Interesting, there has always been a large chasm between "Hobby" grade MCU boards like Arduino and "Industrial" grade systems. Hopefully this shift can get more people through that chasm into productive applications.
The issue with those is when you look at the business the customer does to begin with. If they sell 103,000 laptops and you say "buy 100,000 CPUs from me and you'll pay 10% less" and a competitor sells 255,000 laptops and you say "buy 250,000 CPUs from me and you'll pay 15% less" and so on, always offering the deal where you choose between a discount for making >95% of your sales volume Intel or paying retail prices for CPUs, the fact that you're specifying that proportion of their sales as an absolute number rather than a percentage doesn't seem like it ought to change very much.
Hey, are you a fossil dev?

I haven't used nor looked at fossil in maybe 5 years, but had a couple of questions.

Does fossil now have any kind of email support built in to the ticket manager? I remember when I tried to use fossil for actual production use, there was no way to trigger emails sent when, e.g. tickets were submitted, and one of the devs said to just write a script to monitor the fossil rss feed and send the appropriate email, which seemed like a baroque and fragile (and time-consuming) solution.

And is any more of the command-line behavior configurable (like the mv/rm behavior -- affecting the file on disk as well as the repository, or just marking the file as (re)moved in the repository)?
A point (in space) is something that could be occupied by an object.
Async a keyword (as in async/await although really await is the keyword) and Rust just got in November.
This has been a major gap for Arduino for a while, and it's cool to see them take a crack at solving it.

Beyond the hardware, I'd love to get some more details on the software tool chain and their plans to sell/support turning the prototypes into production modules.
I disagree, he says do things that are important but not popular. This could mean asking to be put on an older legacy project that provides a ton of value that people are scared to touch.

Let that sink it. We screwed Earth badly enough we need to build spaceships on Earth.

There is no point in keeping nuclear warheads secret. Not a single nation with nuclear capability has ever been invaded since the bomb was invented. It is geopolitically infeasible.

North Korea knows this well. If Iran got the nuke and told us, their general would be alive today and the chance of war would be near 0. Nobody would touch a nuclear Iran.

> Most ultrabooks feature 15watt parts. They might hit 17watt but will definitely throttle after that.

That's not at all how Intel's TDP nor turbo works.

From the anandtech surface comparison I linked, the Intel part is the 15w i7-1065G7 ( https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/196597/... )

And yet, when hit with a multithreaded load it immediately shot to over 40w power draw: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/15213/CinbenchR20MT.png

That "15w TDP" is just the limit it will sustain. It regularly spikes over it, and by a lot, for 10-30 seconds at a time.

Or in Intel's technical terms the spec that they provide is the PL1 TDP. The spec that they don't provide is the higher PL2 TDP. Turbo is initially governed by PL2, not PL1.

> Especially when doing mundane things like a powerpoint presentation or watching a movie. in those cases the CPU consumes only around 5-8W on todays mobile processors.

And per the anandtech link you provided Samsung's specs for the 950 Pro NVME drive mention 70mW idle and 2.5mW DevSlp power draw, and anandtech measured idle power draw at 20mW.

This puts CPU power draw at 100X larger than the SSDs in the simple video & powerpoint presentation use cases.
I've been on YKYZ for about 3 weeks now and it's been amazing! I love listening to others' microcasts and learning so much in such little time. The people behind YKYZ have also never failed to guide us and support the community.

Yes, it’s a blacklist. However, there is ongoing work to improve privacy.resistFingerprinting (enabled in about:config) which makes the browser more similar to other users with this setting enabled.
But in many contexts, "good enough" is more a question of perception than reality.

These statements serve to shift the Overton window of perception, and therefore help improve the odds that people are't thinking "good enough" when they are broken.
They do really awful things, too, and they are rewarded outrageously for it with very little personal risk. Taking a 10x levered loan to pay for a company, transferring the debt to them, and cutting the company loose after paying yourself a dividend that more that covers your loan principal has nothing noble about it at all.

I don't want to be acquired by them, but I have much more respect for shops like Thoma Bravo that act as operators and acquire strategically for portfolio companies that places like Bain, for example.
I think the safest way (i.e. no downside, no money spent, small time investment) is negotiating your salary. In your current or new job.

That’s ridiculous. Making someone take a one and a half hour bus ride to take a shit is inhumane.
As usual, the monks know what the laity doesn't, and aren't particularly afraid to talk about it. Also as usual, there's still a yawning gap between what domain experts are up to and what non-domain experts think they're up to.

That this is true in AI is not surprising; humility comes from knowing that my domain expertise in some fields (and thus a clearer picture of 'what's really going on') is guaranteed to be crippled in other fields. Knowing that by being in some knowledge in-groups requires me to also be in some knowledge out-groups is the beginnings of a sane approach to the world.
And yet have been caught publishing some of the most overt lies of the last couple years, while buckling down on it. I keep seeing people try to defend them here, but they have already ruined any credibility they have both by their association and their behavior. It's not worth it; find a better institution to defend.
On a long enough timeline the memory of Marcus Aurelius will extinguish.
That's because manipulate implies active control, which the sun doesn't have. As a different example, you can manipulate the levers of a machine and, if you are not skilled or paying attention, get a result you did not plan for.

The security strategy with the most practical utility for most software engineers working on most projects is defense in depth: multiple layers, each assumed to be breakable.

It's a striking contrast with the stark mathematical language deployed by cryptographers, on whose work we rely.

If we differentiate between the two fields of software engineering and cryptography, it's easier to be generous in our appreciation for the different goals and mental models.
That's so algorithmic, it's scary. Thanks for the links.
Episodes 53 and 54 of https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/ are a good listen on this subject.
I live there. I've lived in many other countries as well. And I keep traveling.

I experienced the total opposite of your comment.

I've seen the road in the US. I've seen the health care in the UK. I've seen the internet in Spain. I've seen the cost of life in Switzerland. Heck, I've worked in Asia and Africa.

There are not a lot of countries where life felt as good as in France: germany, sweden, etc.

There are also not a lot of countries where people complain more than the French. It's a national sport.
The problem with skin in the game is I know of a few people who lost everything to a scam. Now forced to work at WalMart to make ends meet... I hope I avoid that with my skin in the game, but I'm well aware of how easy it is to fall for scams and am thus afraid that I will as I get older.

it is not the network administrators making those calls or putting them on that list. a job many moons ago:

my phone: ringing off the hook for the past three days. WHY.

CEO: "hey we need better internet access at the new office, I setup a call with Cogent, let me know how it goes"

my phone: answered to find its cogent blowing me up

Cogent: car-salesman methods

me: I quit

Cogent every two months since then: "hey I heard you left your job, any need for business internet access?"

Yes, I thought that this might be the case. But actually, one revolution of the crankshaft should make one pulse - piston going down and up creates one sin wave. And I’m counting only peaks at the top.
Not trying to troll - just don't know.

Why would anybody use an Arduino versus a five dollar Raspberry Pi Zero?
Is this still true for majority of the US working force? As an European I find it ridiculous that your pension could be wiped out like that, and not be completely separated from employer either managed by state, or dedicated pension fund manager (what I prefer but citizens have no say in this, you have to move state to change this). Companies go bankrupt all the times, small or big.

If it gets wiped out, what happens to those people? Getting by on social help, food stamps and super basic healthcare through rest of their lives?
Google's Adsense Leak
The quarter of a century thing does not apply to "inline".

Although inline was added in C99, it was already an extremely widely supported extension in mainstream compilers, even since the C89 days, when we just called it "ANSI C".

MSVC has supported inline for a long time, long before it started supporting other C99 features.

What are you talking about? A go routine can run async to another go routine. It's async.

It's just a different perspective of concurrency than node.

I literally quote from go by example:
https://gobyexample.com/goroutines

"Our two function calls are running asynchronously in separate goroutines now."
> Perhaps the Rust team should make their compiler work on reasonable resources, like 32 bit processors, before marching off to try to convert the world.

It's time to let 32-bit processors go and move on.
Even Gosling isn't advocating that the APIs were copyrighted. What he advocates is that he doesn't think it was actually a clean-room implementation, and that Google should have been 'nicer' about the whole process in general -- that regardless of the legal points, Google was kind of a jerk.

When it gets to the subject of APIs, Gosling is suddenly a lot less accusatory. Here's the actual conversation:

> Host: "I would hate to see a law or ruling that APIs are copyrightable, because that would have a chilling effect across the whole --"

> Gosling: "Yeah, that would be bad. But it kind of feels like the lawyers and laws and legal teams -- they do what they can."

But our laws don't punish companies for being mean, and issues around Google's actual clean-room implementation are largely irrelevant at this point in the lawsuit. It's pretty clear that Oracle bought Sun with the intention of going after Google far more aggressively and on far more legally tenuous grounds than Sun was ever interested in doing.

HN discussed Zume a few years ago when they launched (106 comments):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11980694

A more recent article that didn't earn discussion includes this interesting tidbit:

https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/11/21/20974979/zume-pizza-so...

> The four-year-old company has largely pivoted to an enterprise model where it works with restaurants that have no storefront and prepare their food in shared centralized kitchens, or “cloud kitchens”; with delivery providers like DoorDash and Postmates; and with existing pizza companies to build a hub-and-spoke model for the entire delivery industry.
What is happening seems to me to be retribution for an industry ripe with bad practices like overusing hormones and steroids, and abusing cows...

It's a shame that milk farmers got to bail out without being held responsible. The fast growth in alternative milk was driven by bad practices by the dairy industry, and when unethical behavior is driven by shareholder expectations, it only gets worse.

We need to stop supporting in and investing in companies that poison food supplies, otherwise we're literally suffering for the profit growth that that creates.
Hey, don't talk about my home country like that! :)
Right; the reduction of intensive animal farming is the primary benefit of this stuff. Replacement sourcing for people who eat meat and would like to continue doing so. As noted in another thread, it's not at all clear that there's much of a difference personal-health-wise: even if Impossible Meat avoids some of the dietary negatives of animal meat, it probably comes with its own. You still don't want to be eating cheeseburgers three meals a day. Rather, if you were going to eat meat anyways, substitute this.
I am now somewhat curious why syslog-ng needs random bytes on boot.
I'm doing this:

I guess this is then happening because I'm first checking if there's a subscription via `pushManager.getSubscription` before creating a new one in the event handler.

Yep, dropping getSubscription makes the popup appear again.

Structurally high youth unemployment was the consequence. The French system is fantastic once you are over the hurdle of actually getting a permanent contract, but the barrier to entry is much higher than in comparable economies such as the UK. It just depends which segment of the population you are optimising for.
My friend often recounts the story of passing a McDonalds during delivery day, and spotting crates of meat being carried in with the label "GRADE D, STILL EDIBLE" written on them.

I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't accurate, but the problem is knowing McDonalds, I would also not be surprised if it were.
Taiwan's elections are this weekend and there's been a lot of articles about disinformation campaigns there

I think there's skepticism in the community that NSA et al actually have such a far head-start now.

That said, historically speaking, back in the early 70s DES was being designed. The NSA made some unjustified changes to its S-boxes. At the time, there were allegations that they had made them intentionally weaker. (Or so I've read; I wasn't born yet.) In the early 90s, differential cryptanalysis was discovered for the first time, and it turns out that DES was already resistant to it (unlike other block ciphers at the time): in fact, the NSA already knew about differential cryptanalysis, 20 years ahead of the general public, and intentionally strengthened DES. (Also, IBM discovered it, too, but kept it quiet at the NSA's request.)

> My personal success with voting out governments is zero, but my success in boycotting corporations is pretty high. Occasionally others have stopped using them as well and they've stopped having a large effect on my life.

This isn't even close to an apples-to-apples comparison. You interact with many more corporations than governments. Most of the corporations you interact with have some competition; most of the governments you interact with don't. And voting out a government is hardly the analogue of boycotting a corporation: what's your success rate with voting at all vs your success rate in getting a corporation's board replaced?
This criticism has become the 'mortal sin' of modern science, in a similar way to criticisms of evolutionary theory. If a theory has no criticisms, it means no one is really thinking hard about it.

It seems like the kind of advice that's meant to correct against bad tendencies. I know people who'd spend 100% of their time on politics if they didn't control themselves, because their instinct is to resolve all personal conflicts they see.

It should always lie. Consistently rejecting notifications is yet another bit for fingerprinting a user (not just a device).
In previous projects I have worked on many years ago, the "down for maintenance" page was the page that was automatically served by the reverse proxy whenever we took the backend app servers down for whatever reason (emergencies, planned releases etc)

Granted this was years ago - I don't know what people do these days if all backend servers are unavailable.

I guess the alternative to "planned maintenance" is the more-accurate message of "OMG - shit's on fire dude!" but that is not appropriate for corporate PR speak ;-)

Sounds to me like someone probably got a "turn everything off while the police investigate - do not touch anything or we'll chop your fingers off/fire you" edict from management, so they wont even put up an unplanned-emergency message for fear of crossing-management/damaging evidence/screwing up while putting up a rushed message/letting hackers back in/etc

I see your point but at the same time - why is redefining the rules a bad thing? Why should people be obligated to evaluate themselves against criteria that’s popular or set by other people? Why does that actually matter?
You're right that they should present the evidence, but "How many millions of years" isn't an especially convincing counterargument either. For most of those millions of years, mammals have been drinking strictly the milk from their species only during their infancy.

Wholesalers. The same way the other 60% of stores get things delivered.
If the supreme court decides for Oracle, congress can absolutely pass a new law that reduces the scope of copyright to exclude APIs. The constitution limits what congress can say is copywritable, but doesn't require that they say anything is.

There's even a good chance that they will in my opinion, given the amount of lobbying dollars on the side of sanity in this case.

Still, I would rather not rely on congress doing anything sensible in a timely manner these days, especially when existing copyright law already sides with Google (IMO). It would also not be retroactive, so everyone under the sun can sue everyone under the sun over previous violations.
I find Firefox and Thunderbird amazing, I just miss being able to customize keyboard shortcuts. Thunderbird ones are especially evil (they don’t use any modifier like Ctrl, so I often mess my inbox up when I don’t notice Thunderbird is the focused window). Also, while Firefox for iOS is leagues ahead of e.g. Brave, it still has many issues.

For anything requiring fast hashing performance today, is there a reason why Blake2 [1] wouldn't be chosen? It seems to be faster than SHA1 and uses a similar algorithm as SHA3. As collisions become easier to create I would think it'd cause a problem in many even insecure use cases. I'm pretty sure github had to blacklist those two pdfs that originally had the same hash.
