Quite digestible, but you have to cook it far longer, about 5–8 hours. There is a dish called Haleem that is popular in the middle east, but each country and region has their own version of it [0]. The version I am familiar with is served as breakfast food, similar to porridge. Its main component is wheat cooked overnight over low heat. Although it should be noted that it is made with wheat endosperm, not whole wheat. But buying one is no more difficult than the other.

Yea I did the same.
I discovered Ben Eater from another post on HN: "Let's build a circuit that displays an image on a VGA monitor [video]" [0]. If you're new to his content, I'd recommend starting with that video; it's currently his second most popular video on YouTube with 2M views. After watching that series I became interested in how display capabilities are communicated in modern systems and I learned a bit about DisplayID [1], which is a superset of an older (and apparently rather dysfunctional) standard.

A bit tangential, but I recently discovered the incredible Make: Encyclopedia of Electronic Components series (here's Vol 1 [2]) and immediately fell in love. It's one of those things which you don't know you need until you learn of its existence, and then you can't live without it. The topics covered by this series go far beyond what you learn as part of a computer engineering or electrical engineering undergraduate program, at least based on my experience and those of my friends.

Some commenters are asking about getting started with electronics. My standard suggestion is Make: Electronics [3], which is written for learning by discovery rather than learning by explanation. Read the first page of the Preface [4] for an explanation of what that means; consider picking up a copy if that resonates with you.

Thanks for this. I'm extremely blessed to have a wife that enjoys making bread, and makes the best sourdough I've ever tasted. It's mostly in her head but from the notes I've pieced together it seems close to the weekday sourdough. Bread is so easy to make and so delicious if you have patience, I really hope this leads to more people making bread. Store bought tastes like paper in comparison.

Protip to any future breadmakers: buy a cast iron Dutch oven. It's the real game changer.
There isn’t any damage to businesses. Higher pricing is how markets work out supplies limits, and prices determine what businesses should do.

On the face, lower oil prices is throwing millions out of work and “damaging” energy companies. But in reality it’s a huge boon for the economy. Outside of the energy businesses we are all energy consuming and cheaper energy makes us all more prosperous. The “damage” to energy companies and their employees is the wise reallocation if investment and labor into industries that now have more value and demand. The “damage” can also be temporary, when prices increase investment and jobs will return.

There are a lot of people chasing the aesthetic, but don't worry about that.

A lot of people can benefit from reducing their debt, lowering their cost of living, eating less food, saving more money, and focusing on things they enjoy more and things they don't less.

You don't have to go from living on 110k to 30k, nor do you have to throw everything out and replace it with white walls and black accents and an odd art piece here and there.
Right. Could have helped with the covid data crunch and got paid.
It didn't take much for man to realize he could do more by trusting another than figuring out how to do everything on his own.

You cannot help anyone else unless you have some minimal level of self-reliance. That’s why airlines tell you to fit your own oxygen mask before trying to help anyone else.
Yes I did too.
It is literally the most efficient way to operate. Very quickly massive resources of investment and labor are redirected into areas that are much more valuable in a low energy cost world. Keeping zombie companies operating for no value is damaging to the economy.
Because the Great Firewall operates as a blacklist and is only intended to prevent commoners from learning censored information.

If Zoom meetings where anyone can join became a popular source of unfiltered news, they'd either ban Zoom or require that a two-class system is set up to prevent ordinary Chinese users from using Zoom to communicate internationally, similarly to how Douyin (within China) and Tiktok (everywhere else) are two separate silos.

But people from other countries connecting to servers in China is not something the Great Firewall tries to interfere with.
Not sure. Gold has been exchanged on global markets since basically forever. So local exhaustion of mines doesn't make much of a differences.
Ah yes, ABCT.

First, assume the market is made up of rational actors. Second, assume that sustained irrational investment choices have been made by the rational actors.
In this example eating unbaked grains would be the compromise to remain comparatively minimal and yet become more self reliant.

Another example would be simple car maintenance. A minimalist would pay for an oil change.

One may want to become more self reliant and begin changing one's own oil. In this case you will need a catch basin, a funnel, new oil and filter. You may need a jack, jack stands and a specialty wrench.

You could become both more self reliant and more minimalist by getting rid of your car. If you live in an area with good transportation you will become slightly inconvenienced. If you live in a place with bad transportation you will become significantly impoverished.

I wonder if self-reliance is really incompatible with most things, not just minimalism. At some level you rely on others, whether to farm your food or forge your steel or make your antibiotics.

No, there isn’t really. There is a treasure of info on that site though. I also have a CS background before I moved to the quant area.

Things that might help pique your interest:

- For both academic and practical problems: http://quant.stackexchange.com/

- For keeping tabs on new ideas in the blogosphere (generally average, occasionally something useful): https://quantocracy.com/

- Useful information on getting started in the field: http://quantstart.com/articles

Outside of the academic literature, it is quite an insular field, so you have to work to find interesting ideas. If you can make money, you probably won’t be sharing much with anyone. A notable exception might be Rob Carver’s blog (https://qoppac.blogspot.com/).

From a CS background, a simple path to see if you might enjoy “quant investing” is to read some old papers from e.g. AQR about factor investing (Momentum, Value) and try to implement it with Interactive Brokers or similar. You should be able to roll something together with very little capital.

On the “quant trading” side of things, try the Avellaneda paper for statistical arbitrage, do some digging about RenTech, read the LTCM book, etc etc. Not something you can do without a lot of infrastructure behind you, but there’s enough information around to work out if it’s interesting.

150-180k total comp isn't that high of a salary for an engineer. It's above average I'd imagine, but probably not even in the top 20th percentile. As such, for 150-180k you should be able get a pretty decent (yet unexceptional) coder.
It's more complicated. The lockdown has slowed down spread of other diseases and lowered traffic causalities. On the other hand normally treatable conditions are not getting the required attention. It is impossible to get clear picture of whole effect on death statistics.

I do think there's multiple reasons for hoarding or minimalism. I'm just saying that I've noticed more well off people in my life advocating for minimalism over the years. I do agree with your sentiment.

In general, the poorer people I know aren't almost-homeless poor. Maybe they're just bad at managing everything (money, time, assets). They tend to be paying for those storage spaces. I see those storage spaces everywhere. I'm kind of curious what the average demographic is--like you say, space is expensive. I have used them, but only during transitions for a few months at a time. The terms of the contract made me think I wasn't the norm.

Your comment reminded me that my brother travels significantly more than I do, but travels with so much. I travel a few times a year, but absolutely hate having extra stuff. For me it's not about the cost of having an extra bag. It's about not wanting to wait for checked luggage, slinging around another extra bag (or just one heavier one), and not carrying it around. I'm sure he has his reasons for over-packing (perhaps being prepared, having appropriate attire means more to him), but for neither it's about the money. I'm sure for some people is is, though.
How do you get paid for the data crunching? Is there a paying folding@home alternative or did you mean something completely different?
Oh I agree. I have saved a lot of money by learning to do many things and handling them myself but I depend on the same supply chains for tool parts that others do for razor cartridges.

The more I've read about the lives of 19th century pioneers the more I've realized that even they depended on something more akin to modern supply chains than on real self sufficiency.

The term "software engineering", at least as used by Margaret H. Hamilton in the 1960s, was used to describe existing practices.

"Teleportation" was not.
I’m not, in the end, a fan; but to me, that was the entire point. In the face of this crisis, their petty wants and desires, and even the more pressing matters of who and how they should govern themselves were irrelevant in the face of an ultimate threat, no matter how important they felt to those people or to the audience. The one person who held out against letting those lesser things go even temporarily was completely destroyed.
This. I had revenue for 5 people but didn’t succeed to find them, just 1, so I feel very well off and I keep the positions open. However, we’re on a corporate market that errs in the side of luxury, and even with an incredibly safe runway, I can’t assume I’ll still have customers in one year...
I think Bezos gets a lot of flack for anything he does. That being said, I'm not defending the man. I think his response to things as the CEO can be much better.

Transparency is very important from employees at the bottom - and given a lot of the recent stuff that happened recently (like the strikes and all), I don't think upper management is particularly good at showing visibility. I understand that company is huge - but that's why you hire smart people. They should have ways to address issue like this. Asides from one email that was sent company wide, I haven't heard zip from him. However, Amazon is known to not take great care of its employees. So I'm not too surprised here either.

Yet it's also common for PE to take a perfectly fine business, lever it up in pursuit of higher returns, and watch it shrivel under the debt load. That risk may be fine for PE investors, but there are a lot of industries where the "creative" side of creative destruction can't keep up with the debt cycle.

> ex-President Rafael Correa, Moreno’s left-wing predecessor who since leaving office in 2017 has been charged with corruption and misuse of power in Ecuador, which he denies.

Funny sentence, since Moreno used to be Correa's vice president and ran as candidate in the same party, and was until he had a sudden change of heart as left-wing as the other.

Also Moreno and his family are under investigation for illicit enrichment and some accounts found in Panama, keyword: INA Papers. According to Wikileaks that was used by the US to blackmail Moreno and thus his change of heart on economic policy and on Assange's asylum status.
I have the same model, but mine does behave like an on/off button, being enough to solve that problem you had (no sound because some device other is paired)
Maybe it's something about a firmware upgrade? I remember there was one in 2018 that enabled an auto turn-off feature past a certain time with no use. I didn't update mine with that or any of the newer ones, so if I forget to turn them off manually they just keep consuming battery.

Huh. I bought my Sennheiser PXC 450 nearly 15 years ago, and used it daily, as well as on regular transatlantic flights, for about 8 years and I only had to replace batteries and ear cushions and one cable, never the whole thing. That's a crazy rate of device replacement.
I fully agree. I was astonished at how polite and helpful people were in the US for my week long first ever visit beginning of this year. The sentence you quote seems to be typically of most news/social media we are exposed to. Luckily I am aware of the technology side of the US so I typically take the cynicism with a pinch of salt but many people take it at face value and mouth it off as facts.
The basic set of requirements are the easy part.

It’s when you have to account for the differences between each state (50 factors!) is where the software becomes O(n^n) complex over the development of this product.

Even the best private companies struggle to build similar systems for a single entity.

I think each state should be accountable for their own programs. Avoids the “single point of failure” issue as well.

I agree it is very thorough, what is really strange from my experience with the QC35 is that they haven’t found any problem. The noise cancellation in my earphones was working perfectly, performed the upgrade, and now I can hear the person next to me typing when I couldn’t before. 100% there is a problem with the firmware update no idea how they couldn’t find it with that amount of testing.
Some time ago I wrote a simple tool to implement directory history in bash. Unfortunately I couldn't use 'cd<' and 'cd>' for obvious reasons, so I used 'cd^' and 'cd,' instead.
> why can't Rust developers just import a C++ library that does the job?

We can and frequently do. Rust even seems to have one of the better packaging stories around building C++ libs, albeit with several heavyweight dependencies (C++ compiler + toolchain, libc, etc.). Granted, calling into it from Rust means we need a C ABI, but that's rarely a terrible problem.

> What novelty would a Rust version of the same thing bring really?

I find Rust easier to cross compile for starters. I still haven't tamed emscripten for compiling C++ as WASM - the Rust toolchains by comparison make compiling Rust to WASM trivial. Rust's larger stdlib, standard package manager, and healthy library ecosystem means whatever I'm cross compiling is less likely to need to resort to platform specific nonsense in need of manual porting.

But the main draw of Rust to me is the ability to write memory safe code and race-safe native code, reducing how many heisenbugs I encounter and the portion of the codebase where they might lurk. If your codebase is large, and mostly memory/race safe, this is a huge advantage. If your codebase is large, and only 50% memory/race safe, you're still frequently in debugging hell inside a large haystack.

If you take a super solid C++ dependency, maybe you kinda retain that advantage, but most C++ dependencies I take on don't meet that high bar (including those me and my coworkers write!) Alternatively, I could take on a relatively mediocre Rust dependency, and I'll probably still retain that memory/race-safety advantage. There are exceptions to this of course thanks to Rust's many opt-in escape hatches - but I also find it much easier to audit Rust code for their use and the possible problems they may cause, versus C++ where every array access is suspect.
There is a nonprofit teaming up with the us government to pay data scientist for taking the covid data set and answering questions. I know it was going 2 weeks ago. There are probably still some unanswered questions. The bounty was like 1.000 a question.
