If you managed to simplify the equation down to "kill their children or die yourself" through some desert-island scenario, then yeah, sure. Normally problems involve more variables than this.
This doesn't read to me as "the maintainer doesn't seem to care" so much as they feel that the unsafety is likely an edge case and, in another issue, there's some more discussion around fixing it.

I'm not affiliated with State Farm other than being a paying customer; with that said, my parents, who are also customers, contacted their agent today (also my agent), and the agent told them there was a meeting today/this week between agents or the entirety of the SF org (I don't know all the details), and basically a decision is supposed to be made by Friday about paying out dividends to constituents.

Again, not affiliated other than being a customer so that's all he said, she said. But if true, then that would be a nice way to get some money back into insured's hands.

Mortality and the Old Masters
First they need to support Windows as well as Java 1.0 did back in 1996, then they have 25 years to catch up.

Plus the JVMs already have jRubby and TruffleRuby, including AOT support.
They are so strange and lovely. A symbol of another era. There are many of these spomeniks / pametniks in Bulgaria too, though it seems Yugoslavia really took it to the next level!
I guess AOT compiled jRubby/TruffleRuby.
I started having trouble around there too, at 10 and 11. I had to settle for 2 star solutions. I knew I could spend all night trying to do all this (3 stars or nothing) so I called it quits.
We should just throw everyone in a hazmat suit and continue our everyday lives!

As I see it, maybe 1% of the web is not junk.

I think we need an alternative search engine based on community vetting.

I.e. you submit your url to the search engine but it isn't present in all search results until a certain number of real people will say it's meaningful and useful. You can do that by only showing it first in 1% of search results and ask people to rate it.

You don't have to index 10 billion websites, you just have to index 1 million of useful websites.

Nice to see these sort of posts popping up on HN. I've been enjoying HN the past few weeks - a lot of community related posts and engagement.

Honestly I don't have much worth reading on my blog. But I see a lot of posts about the "best way to store knowledge" - org-mode, roam, zettelkasten, markdown etc.

My blog isn't worth reading because that's exactly what I use it for. If you're looking for a way to [1] take notes, [2] keep track of links you enjoyed reading, or [3] save links to things you want to learn about in the future, then I recommend doing it in your blog.

At the end of your life you'll be able to look back at your own personal wikipedia of knowledge.

Posts (maybe) worth reading:

Not really, I already posted a couple of initial steps in a sibling comment.
The gap is that it's skipping half of what makes Docker powerful, and what isn't really discussed in this conversation at all either. Distribution.

E.g. see this line of code: https://github.com/p8952/bocker/blob/master/bocker#L25

"But I thought bocker implements Docker?" It doesn't, it only attempts to implement the "Docker daemon" part, and piggy-backs on Docker registries for image distribution. This is a huge part of the power of Docker, and why Docker isn't "just cgroups and namespaces". Cgroups and namespaces are a critical element, but Docker is much more than that too--it's also a set of standards for distributing and administering configuration+data for cgroups and namespaces.

What do you mean by "crowbar current"?

Running the bus for a large array definitely takes a lot of power, but I agree it wouldn't be huge compared to the LEDs themselves.

> Now the hardware to compute the binary signal is the same as the PWM because you still need to subdivide the clock and count to know how many phases have passed to pulse at 1, 2, 4, 8ms, etc. This is typically done with dedicated hardware (the Atmega has a fairly unsophistcated PWM compared to TI, ADI or STM). Ideally you want the PWM to use the IO fabric to DMA the data, and not have the CPU twiddle GPIOs, that's a sledgehammer approach.

BCM isn't used when hardware PWM is an option. It's used for displays driven by long long chains of shift registers where you have to reload a whole frame to change an LED's state. Your DMA is sending data to a hardware SPI transmitter, not a PWM block in this case. There are ICs designed for _very_ large, high-end LED arrays that have hardware PWM for each LED, but they're less common and much more expensive.

You also don't really need to 'compute' BCM. You generate a bit-sync pulse or interrupt or whatever that runs once for each bit. At that point you just grab the pixel from the frame buffer, mask the correct bit, and output it to the array. The advantage over PWM is this bit-sync only runs 8 times (or whatever the bit depth) instead of 256. The shortest time between syncs is still the same length of the equivalent PWM signal, but the length between them grows but double each time (up until the start of the next period).

> Also, the PWM rate is not fixed, it does not have to be 256 pulses. Depending on the hardware it can go from Hz to MHz (it impacts responsiveness). But that is a function of the MCU, and Atmega has fairly coarse adjustment for the PWM modes.

256 is the number of grayscale colours (2^bit depth), not the pulse rate. Just like PWM, BCM can run at any rate or any bit depth.

You're really hung up on microcontroller PWMs. They're certainly helpful, and you certainly can use them to drive LEDs, but they top out at anywhere between 2 and 24 channels, so they aren't cost-effective for large, dense arrays. These LED drivers are really just shift registers, so they're dead simple and very, very cheap.

It has a few good pieces about transitioning from corporate dev to freelance/consulting, as well as Clojure.

I’ve heard other people have read it to learn more about Clojure, and to help guide them away from corporate dread. Importantly, I have my contact information there and in my HN bio and I’m always down to talk to people from the internet!

It lacks the 10,000 word, fun war stories from more veteran engineers, sadly.

I write about stuff you would find very boring. Do not read it.
I understand the author's preference, but as a seasoned presenter and veteran audience member I must say I do not share his opinion.

Sharing slides before a talk can be useful, but only if the slides are mostly bullet points and diagrams. If otoh you use a more empathic/media journey style of presentation materials, there is little point in doing this or even negative value.

The most boring form of video presentation I can imagine is a talking head. Trust me, you are not that pretty, nor do you have the facial gymnastic entertainment level that I want to look at you for half an hour in closeup while you command me to turn pages. Show me something interesting on the screen, maybe cutting to you for 10-30 seconds when you want to emphasise something.

Get a greenscreen and OBS if you want to go a bit further. Overlay yourself on the presentation if you want.

If you are presenting, you are not just 'relaying information', just write up a briefing/memo/paper or email if that is your goal.

In a presentation you have to capture your audience, entertain, and yes, inform.

There are plenty of fine universities the scions of CCP members can attend in China that don't result in the long-term institutional destruction of your nation's educational system. "I love that we teach people" has all the meaninglessness of most feelings of charity, except the price you pay is losing a healthy, stable, focused university system for actual Australians.
If you’re late to standup 3 days a week, I’d consider that quite unprofessional.
Alternatively, "global shutdown destroys export industry".

There is a debate as to whether education should be for profit at all versus purely state funded, but if it is private then normally an industry bringing in overseas money and customers would be celebrated.

Interesting list...I didn't own any of those, though I would guess most of us here can name many others.

Last weekend while I was putting the finishing touches on a Bionic Puppy install on my MSI Wind (purchased through a Linux computer company years ago), I started to realize I need to get more serious about active care for my devices or get rid of them. From the Cybiko Extremes to the N810 to the Casio pocket organizers.

For now I'm going to move to a basic stance and just start text files for each set of devices. That usually gets me moving in a more organized direction. It feels good to be taking care of (some) things from my past, and I can tell my kids all kinds of stories about how I courted my wife via Cybiko text chat in University classes, etc. :-)
I'd (guess!) an order of magnitude more.

> The reason for lockdown is to slow things down, so we don't get to the point where doctors have to decide who to help or who not.

But one must think that this can't go on indefinitely or for very long time frames. It buys time to reduce the number of "active" cases, but only to ensure that once lockdown is lifted one is able to do tracing and isolation for new cases.

Realistically, we'll have to live with this virus (and the associated risk) for quite a while. The time frames for a "cure" if it is found vary from months for drugs (if those in current trials prove to be useful) to years for a vaccine (which like the drugs may not be effective).

You can keep people holed up for a few months at best. You won't be able to do so for one or more years, unless you want to face severe consequences (and I'm not talking about the economy, I'm talking of long-term psychological effects).

Isotope – lightweight and JavaScript-centric UI library
The real beauty of Nintendo's strategies, I think, is that they validate many forms of analysis.

The design in them is never just great hardware, or great software, or great marketing, or any one objective quality metric, but some kind of blend of these things that defines the problem they are solving such that they avoid risking catastrophic failure in any one of them.

And this strategy whiffs on occasion, but it generally does so in a recoverable way: Wii U underperformed, but that meant that they didn't have to shepherd along the base with backwards compatibility. The biggest titles on it instead got ports or sequels on Switch. Nintendo never sells consoles at cost, so they lost development money but still came out of the endeavor with a refreshed game library. It's very much a "fast is smooth, smooth is slow" kind of notion.

And this is something you rarely see elsewhere in the tech world: The focus there is not just on making a gadget, but a world-beating gadget that boasts unsurpassed specs and rushes to beat the competition in doing so in the "move fast and break things" fashion. That approach leaves these companies with no room to build a legacy of the type Nintendo has, because their ambition was to skim some cream off the market, and maybe attain platform lock-in for a time, but not to really curate their own work or become something people refer to over the long term. And this is even true of most of the other game publishers, too: They burn through their franchises with casual abandon and trust heavily in their sales and marketing organization to make up the difference.
My Bose QC15s have lasted so long. AA batteries are easily replaced and cheap aftermarket parts on ebay keep is going. It is now my backup as having Bluetooth and better noise cancelling is worth upgrading for but they still work incredibly well on flights.

On my first ship in the Navy, we had a Windows 3.1 beige-box desktop PC (well, there were 3 of them, 2 for backups) that ran a tape drive emulator that connected to wiring in a bank of disconnected tape drives/computers (took a whole wall, these were the reel-to-reel kind) that ran some old targeting radar. The weapons that used that radar were gone, but they kept the radar running for auxiliary purposes. I'm surprised they wouldn't use something like that at NASA. We only left the drives installed due to weight distribution for the ship, but NASA could just replace a whole room of them with a Raspberry Pi, probably.

"Spomenik" definitely means "monument" or "memorial". In a specific context, it also means "tombstone".

"Spomenica" is much less used. I'm a native speaker -- born and raised in Belgrade -- and I've only heard it in very specialized and rare occasions, so I'm having a hard time translating it correctly. In the context I've heard it used, it's an award or recognition, usually in the form of a scroll or a medal.

I like the authors use of the native word "spomenik" to talk about this specific style, but it's definitely just the author's artistic choice.

As fate would have it, I had been discussing a closely related issue with someone else, and the section from the wikipedia page was immediately to hand. In a sense, I was in "transfer information mode" and had the source material there in my editor and ready to go. So in response to a factually incorrect piece of text I dropped in the source material that served as a correction.
