I think the main selling point of Arduino is the "batteries included" approach if you're not familiar with embedded programing. Personally I never use Arduino because of the weird header spacing (I get it's sort of a trademark at this point but it's just annoying to work with).

If you don't care about premade environments then yeah, it's mainly about which pins and embedded peripheral the board supports. Pin count is not everything, nobody wants to bitbang USB or even high-speed SPI. For instance I see that this teensy board supports up to 18 analog inputs when Arduino supports between 6 and 15 according to this: https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/analo...

Basically the choice of controller should be the last step in your design: first thing about your inputs and outputs, then find a controller with suitable I/O and processing power (and preferably with standard header spacing).

RPi is more like a mini-computer than a controller, it's a lot more powerful and comes with massively more overhead. You program something like a teensy on "bare metal" with only a very minimal runtime. On an RPi you'd typically run a full blown OS. That opens up many possibilities but it's also generally more expensive and more power hungry. If you just want to drive 5 GPIOs it's completely overkill.
This actually predates Windows Forms - it's the model used by Delphi/VCL (and these days, Lazarus). However, anchors are nowhere near as flexible as layout managers, and there are many things that they can't handle. For example, when localizing UI, length of labels can change substantially, which requires the other controls that they're labeling to be moved around.
Does the logs stick to your memory when you go through a bunch of them together at once every few months ? Will it not be an overload at one go ?
Really love this. How did you decide on the rotational transmission, rather than electron "flow"?
I've used both extensively as "daughterboards" to big control circuits. The main advantage of the Teensy to me is that the hardware is better than Arduino was at the time. It is also, well, Teensy compared to most Arduinos so it takes up less real estate.

Now that Arduino is running an ESP32 or ARM chip or has FPGA acceleration and such I'd say the difference is mostly just size. I do think some of the core libraries for the Teensy are better written though, the Arduino authors don't seem to focus as much as Paul does on optimizations. Paul also frequently posts in the forums to respond to questions, which is unusual in my experience.

Edit: In response to the Raspberry Pi, it's just a totally different beast. The Teensy is probably not well suited to run much of an OS (nor is the Arduino). Both are better suited to things that require more pins available; embedded controllers rather than computer substitutes.
I took this antibody test through LabCorp on Friday and tested positive. I have been in strict (see: paranoid) isolation with one other person since March 7 and haven't felt sick or anything close to it since then.

I did have what I thought was a strange flu/cold early February with a sore throat, post-nasal drip, wildly varying body temperature, and lower back pains. In hindsight those are COVID-19 symptoms.

the person I live with took the same Abbott Architect antibody test from LabCorp today so that we can compare results and hopefully eliminate any false positives.

Requiring users to watch probably isn't the right move but simply suggesting a video with the opposite viewpoint would be an excellent move.

With every tech company now using "AI" recommendation engines, users only see items that reinforce their beliefs. These tech platforms could really benefit society by simply showing opposing viewpoints once and awhile instead of constantly reinforcing tribal beliefs.

I have used react-query which does the same thing. The server responses can be cached like a redux store. The same query can then be reused elsewhere. You have setting to not cache at all, cache for some time or cache infinity.
I have used it on redux project and replaced many with react-query. It does feel better for server data. Not much boilerplate.

Of course there are multiple factors. Inhibitors and accelerators, advantages and disadvantages. Even between states. Access to capital, quality of schools, real estate prices, labor laws, ad nauseum.

Some are non-obvious. One possible crucial factor between Boston and Silicon Valley was California's lack of non-compete employment arrangements. If true, shouldn't others consider adapting? Why haven't they?

Imagine young professionals have children. Imagine access to reasonable and trustworthy child care is important to those parents. So important it influences their job choices. Imagine innovative companies providing that service to better recruit and retain talent.

You don't have to imagine. Because it's already happening.

Ditto healthcare.

So why shouldn't similarly minded jurisdictions do the same?
I’m not sure how this visualization is better than the hydrodynamic visualization, but it’s worse in one very important way - it uses “rotation” as a metaphor when angular momentum and spin are already very important. It would be hopelessly confusing to learn this metaphor (which has nothing to do with spin) and then try to disentangle it from your mental model when learning about spin later on.

I'm more or less sure I have been saved more than once by people who didn't tidy up after themselves and so left information behind even when they planned to remove it. Sometimes the reason seemed to be that people didn't care, on other cases it seemed like a way to try to keep knowledge for themselves.

In those cases we would have been much better off if the default wasn't one-to-one. Not because they wouldn't have tried to circumvent it but because it would slip up more often.

(Of course the real problem on such places is the culture though.)
Yes, they can do whatever they desire. The issue is when people are required to write life stories and superfluous content not because that's the direction they want to go, and not because it's appealing to their target audience, but because it's the only way they can rank well on Google.

On the user side if you only want straightforward recipes, you're out of luck, because they're never going to be near the top of the search results.

If you are one of the people looking to read these recipe background stories, even you get a mediocre experience, because the majority of the content you're reading was written primarily for Google (how many times can I reference salmon, fish, atlantic, norwegian, protein, healthy, omega-3 and smoked in this recipe story to hit all of the important keywords?).

We can't have writing that effects clear communication, because nearly everyone is too busy, or too important, or has decided that pretending to be too busy is a way of increasing one's perceived importance, or all of the aforementioned. So they dash off sentence fragments, peppered with inflated vocabulary and buzzwords, and punctuated with ellipses, comma faults, and worse.

When the above isn't the case, then you have the people who are too lazy: they cannot be bothered to simply read over to themselves what they've written even one time. And when they aren't merely lazy, then they're simply too dull-witted to understand the need for this.

Lastly, you have the people -- perhaps overrepresented in tech -- who suffer from something like an underdeveloped theory of mind. On some fundamental level, they don't understand that what is in their mind is not necessarily in the mind of the reader; and so they lack Clue Number One as to how to establish context.

Writing isn't difficult. People are difficult.
> We hope that you internalize our company’s anecdote as some sort of ground truth and show it to your company’s CTO so they too can consider redesigning their architecture like we have done.

The sad part is how often this is the case. Not just about technology choices, but everything else as well, HR, marketing, and so forth.

Someone reads something, usually very short - that's semi correct, but lacks a ton of context, and then it gets accepted as some sort of unquestionable truth.

Evolution only cares about whether you have viable offspring. Beyond that longevity could be a harmful feature because the long-lived would be competing with the fertile individuals for resources.
That's a rather depressing way to look at the world. It seems a bit of lazy thinking to assume that waiting for one generation to die is the only way for society to advance. You're also taking for granted that new ways are always better than old ways but human civilizations have collapsed and regressed too many times for that to be true.

Perhaps longer, healthier lives would allow more people to find their way out of poverty. Perhaps people would be less neurotic about accumulating massive amounts of wealth and power if they didn't have to worry about a limited lifespan. Maybe we'd all be more concerned about the future of our planet and of humanity in general if we knew we were going to be there to see it in another 50, or 100, or 10,000 years.

The heat death argument is also a bit absurd when you consider the relative timespans we're talking about. Why trade billions of years for 100 just because they're both finite? If we were talking about dollars it would seem more concrete. And given a billion years who's to say what's possible?

The pain point they didn’t solve (well enough) is Spark cluster management and configuration. From our experience and user interviews, it’s the critical pain point that still slows down Spark adoption. Through our automated tuning feature, we’re going further than them to provide a serverless experience to our users.

This being said, Databricks is a great end-to-end data science platform, with notable features we lack like collaborative hosted notebooks. A lot of people don’t want/need the full proprietary feature set of Databricks though. They choose to build on EMR, Dataproc, and other platforms instead. We hope they’ll try Data Mechanics now :)

> anti-vax crowd had painted Gates as the devil,

They are very clever in the way they do this. One claim is that he owns 23 million dollars worth of shares in Monsanto an evil agrochemical company... A little googling showed the company was bought by Bayer in 2018.

They claim he already has a vaccine and released the virus to enrich himself. Absolutely ridiculous but quite tantalizing to people who want to hear such and neutral readers.

One other nonsense they are spreading is digital vaccination because he backed a research for an invisible ink that could be placed on the skin of vaccinated people.

To me, the advantage of such is clear since record keeping in the wild is poor and double vaccination could be bad. But to conspiracy theorists, it's "he's going to track people with satellites."

>non-insignificant number of people just don’t like him because he’s wealthy.

Very true and it has little to do with how he made his money. Just plain jealousy.

That is in no way an apples to apples comparison.

> Which is why it's laudable that Gates has specified that their Foundation needs to disburse all funds within some specific, limited timeframe (20 years?) after his death.

That is laudable. I would like to understand the details of this dispersion. For example, even if a family does not receive the inheritance, a set of institutions, with a particular network & belief system, will. Centralization of power is not just a familial phenomenon, but also pertains to institutions, beliefs, etc. The Catholic Church as an institution is an example of centralization of power & influence that transcended a single family line well over one thousand years...

The Rockefeller Foundation continues to have worldwide influence well after David Rockefeller's death.

Its true? It's not just the US, France was less prepared than in 2018, and in 2018 was less prepared than in 2011.

After 2005 almost every rich country was stocking on essential medical equipemnt (like masks), had backup supplylines for medical drugs and had procedure in the airport in case of a pandemic (in France notably airport checkups and quarantine + antivirals). Those procedures alone in France were enough to limit the 2009 flu strain to 300 death (although the following years mortality data analysis seems to indicate 2 thousand early deaths)

I'm not putting this on any administration, this is a global trend in western countries.
The article doesn't mention whether giving those bacteria the sugar they want is a good thing. I am not an expert by any means but I have researched this extensively as a lay-person. I would be very concerned that this sugar is feeding the wrong kind of bacteria (or fungus) and would ultimately be harmful. That's before you consider the negative effects of consuming sugar.

There is usually a sell off in Sept/Oct even in a bullish market. So if covid is still with us during that time and things start to get worse what you'll see is panic selloffs like we saw in early march but this will be a lot worse.
Depends on your approach but for me most state in redux was remote data which SWR now caches for me. Other shared local state, such as which project a user is currently viewing, just goes into react context. This removed so much boilerplate for me, adding new calls to the backend is now much simpler.
The Nature article's abstract says:

> neurons in the vagal ganglia and brainstem are activated via the gut–brain axis to create preference for sugar

Wikipedia says:

> Broadly defined, the gut–brain axis includes the central nervous system, neuroendocrine and neuroimmune systems, including the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA axis), sympathetic and parasympathetic arms of the autonomic nervous system, including the enteric nervous system and the vagus nerve, and the gut microbiota.[1]

Having access to only the article's abstract, it's hard to know how or if the microbiota (bacteria, etc.) are involved in nerve activation. E.g., are the neurons activated directly by glucose, or are they activated by some chemical that the bacteria produce in the presence or absense of glucose?

These stats are generated just a couple weeks after symptoms or PCR test positivity. I'm still wondering how specificity might drop off for much earlier exposures. Anecdotally: people on my Fb feed are getting positive tests they attribute to illnesses they had back in January and February.

(This concern has nothing to do with the benefit these tests have in "real time" testing).
I always looked about 5 years younger than my age. It sucked when I was young. At 40 it’s not the worst quality, but it also doesn’t help much. So I look 35, big whoop. I did discover wearing my hair long in my 20s made me look a bit older (eh, more like my age). Might try modifying your look.

I have no clue what you're getting at, fwiw.

As for the meat of your comment, exponential growth hits like a truck. 1/3 of Brazil's confirmed Covid-19 cases were confirmed last week. In general that means the death rate, which lags infection rate by a week or so, is based on 100K infected, not 150K. So this time next week we'll see 1000 per day. The week after, 1500 per day, actually probably more as hospitals get overwhelmed.

> Some of the sick and elderly dying a few months earlier does not warrant removing the livelihoods of everyone else.

And what of the hundred plus people under thirty and the 1000 plus people under 60 who have died from covid-19 in Brazil so far? And the 100 plus people under thirty and the 1000 plus additional people under 60 who will die from covid-19 in Brazil in the next week?
