Same here, had a lingering cough for nearly a month. The other weird part is I had flu-like symptoms for 3-4 days before I had any congestion and a runny nose. I can't recall any other time I've had a cold that didn't result in congestion within 24 hours of the first sign symptoms like a cough or sore throat. Just an anecdote, won't know until I'm able to get tested.

NiFi's biggest strength is that it is a 2-way system - it is not Storm, it is not Flink, it is not Kafka, it is not SQS+Lambda.

I like to think of it like Scribe from FB, but with an extremely dynamic configuration protocol.

The places where it really shines is where you can't get away with those 3 and the problem is actually something that needs a system which can back-pressure and modify flows all the way to the source - it is a spiderweb data collection tool.

So someone trying to Complex Event Processing workflows or time-range join operations with it, will probably succeed at the small scale, but start pulling their hair out at the 5-10GB/s rate.

So its real utility is in that it deploys outside your DC, not inside it.

This is the Site-to-Site functionality and MiniFI is the smallest chunk of it, which can be shrunk into a simple C++ something you can deploy it in every physical location (say warehouse or grocery store).

The actually useful part of that is the SDLC cycle for NiFi, which lets you push updates to a flow. So you might want to start with a low granularity parsing of your payment logs on the remote side as you start, but you can switch your attention over it to & remove sampling on the fly if you want.

If you're an airline flying over the arctic, you might have an airline rated MiniFI box on board which is sending low traffic until a central controller pushes a "give me more info on fuel rates".

Or a cold chain warehouse which is monitoring temperature on average, until you notice spikes and ask for granular data to compare to power fluctuations.

It is a data extraction & collection tool, not a processing and reporting tool (though it can do that, it is still a tool for bringing data after extraction/sampling, not enrichment).
This is what I'd like to know.

Will iOS 14 Lessen AR Friction?
Hm not sure. Basically, I think Submissions graph is cool because the Y axis is points and it's fun to see your most popular posts. I'd like to see that same visualization applied to the comments graph (so replacing replies with points as the Y axis). Sometimes you can have a really popular comment that doesn't get many replies because people agree with it. Replies feels more like an indicator of controversial-ness, which are posts I'm probably not going to look as fondly back on.
Hi, I'm the author of this project. I created this because I always found myself unaware of the state of my brew packages (e.g. how many need to updated, what versions are they on, should I update them?), and I had to manually type in some commands.

I decided a simple menulet (or menu bar app) can serve as a minimalistic UI for this simple interaction. With it, I can get a notification when new packages are available or just glance at its icon.

It has the core functionality I want now, but sense that it could still be improved. So, any feedback in terms of UX, ideas, new functionality, etc are welcome.

Thanks!
A pi isn't going to cut it here.
A surprising number of people have taken my comment rather personally.
I'm right there with you, I considered building my own home simulator cockpit for a while, but gave up due to ROI. They're so expensive and time consuming even for a low fidelity one, and I'd need to build a new one for every plane I want to fly.

If you're comfortable with and willing to spend the money on VR, I was able to buy a peripheral that allows interaction with 3D cockpits in simulators such as DCS. It's not as good as a real simulator, but it's an awesome experience at less than 10% the price.
I got a little differently with it. But there's two parts, for me.

One part is emotional: attempted empathy

Current, alive me regrets not seeing the continued beauty of humanity on continental plates in O'Neill cylinders in belt nations strewn around the Sun inhabited by trillions, but I take solace in something "higher than myself" or more significant, stepping out of myself, than my own experience: the experience of everyone else.

As in: don't be so self-obsessed; it sucks that you won't be there to see miracles in the year 3,000, but countless future generations will, so that suck is only a drop of bad in an infinite ocean of good. Be grateful for what you are here for, and be happy for other people, whether they exist now or not.

NIN, In This Twilight, black-is-really-white shit na mean xD

The second part is more rational: deprecation of consciousness

This one's harder to think or talk about and more philosophical and probably has veins running into the first part. I kind of feel like, "objectively", all consciousness is unified in its reductive, anthropic-principle-nothingness. All consciousness seems to be is a runtime with memory data. In the future, or when you wake up tomorrow, is your consciousness then still "your" consciousness? Still the same consciousness as now? And, if not, what's the difference between that and the consciousness of a completely separate person?
Think a clone or an uploaded, digital clone (a la the game Soma), whose experience you don't share and, despite being a clone, seems as alien to your qualia as any non-clone. But they're still a clone. So then extend that to other people.
Fetishizing your own consciousness is like fetishizing the NAND gates in the SSD that your OS runs on. In the end, it's just as good as another OS running on different hardware.

These two things make my death a miraculously beautiful, globally happy ending, rather than a bleak, local tragedy. It's just a shift in focus, and I think a sober, reasonable one.

... Until heat death, when everyone dies, but that's even farther out. xD And, hey, we don't even know what the majority of matter or energy in the Universe are yet; that buys some leeway in being tied down to predicted cosmic tragedies, r-right??

AND if you're feeling so astrophysicsy, there's always the emergency lever of multiple universes, which inductively follows the same reasoning for self-among-others, just at a slightly larger scale.

When you can’t even search for it, it’s like it never even existed at all. It’s insidiously subversive. I agree with all of your points. It’s a trash video, this time. Next time, who knows? We may never know it’s happened, or how many times it’s happened before without our notice or consent.

Had some second hand opinions on running NiFi in prod and all of them were rather negative, some saying it was a mistake. That was around one year ago. I wonder if things have changed since then.
I use both YouTube-DL and FFMPEG to accomplish this task. I will say this, creating high quality GIF is by far the easiest part of the whole thing. Bypassing too many request as well as throttling which youtube is very good at was the trickiest part and still is. Making something work for a single user is one thing, scaling so everyone else can use it is a whole different beast. The name of the game is proxy and everything revolves around that.

Arduino has had ARM-based boards for years, starting with the Arduino Due in 2012; most of their newer boards use ATSAMD MCUs rather than the AVR8 parts they started out with. There's also a pretty active community supporting STM32 ARM hardware at https://www.stm32duino.com/.

The "FPGA acceleration", on the other hand, is pretty limited. Arduino has one board -- the MKR Vidor 4000 [1] -- with an onboard FPGA. The FPGA can be configured with one of a couple prepackaged bitstreams to add I/Os or perform some specific video processing tasks; it does not accelerate processing on the Arduino MCU. The documentation for the board is minimal, and support for generating your own bitstreams is basically nonexistent. The whole thing has a half-baked feel to it; I'd avoid it.

Yes, but the Python garbage collector is only needed to handle cyclic references. Objects whose reference count drops to zero are still freed even with GC turned off. So AWS didn't make a mint from the experiment.
I've been working in the tech industry for 20 years and from my experience rarely do "cheap developers" ever actually seem to work out costing less in anything other than the very short term.

The cheaper the developer, the shorter the period where they cost less.

I wouldn't mind the "recipe at the end" format if that were the actual case.

But it's not at the end. The actual structure of a modern recipe article is

1) Header

2) Blogpost

3) Click to read button

4) More blogpost, structured in a format that looks like an informal recipe - bulleted ingredients without quantities, discussion of steps.

5) Ad.

6) More blogpost

7) More ad that looks confusingly like a kind of recipe.

8) More blogpost

9) Nav that looks like the end of the blogpost.

10) More blogpost

11) Ad

12) Recipe ingredients

13) Ad

14) Recipe directions

15) 20 pages of chumbox, some of which structured in a way that kind of looks like a recipe at a glance.

Combined with some wonky JS that doesn't show the content until a half-second after I scroll it into view.

When I've got the recipe it feels like I've found Waldo.
Knowing Where and When You Are - In Space!
"Serverless"

(which looks an awful lot like cgi-bin and shared hosting all over again)
My goals for my personal knowledge base are that it's comprehensive (i.e., it has a lot of stuff) and it's accessible.

To achieve this, I need a way to support these two different phases of notes:

* The first phase is "get-it-down."

* The second phase is "refine."

The "get-it-down" phase needs to be fast. It's important for me that I don't need to think about where to write. The "refine" phase is where you can delete, organize, edit, and build off of what you've written. It should also be fast.

I always had to use two tools to satisfy these needs. I needed one place where I could write fast/loose, and one place that's more organized and structured. This resulted in me writing to the "organized" knowledge base less. So I was less likely to get the most out of the things I was learning.

That's why I built bytebase.io.

With Bytebase, you jot things down into a temporary space called "No Man's Land." Then you organize your notes using keyboard shortcuts. If you want to check out our closed beta, email me at cara@bytebase.io. Would love any feedback.
There was a music program for the Sol-20 microcomputer, which was an 8080 running a tad slower than 2MHz. 4 voice polyphony.

The program came with a tiny card plugged into the S-100 bus consisting of nothing more than an RC filter. The Sol didn't use interrupts. The program worked by toggling EI/DI (enable and disable interrupt) to cause one of the pins on the s-100 bus to toggle.

The intonation of especially suffers because those notes are more affected by the fixed 8080 clock cycle.

Here is a clip of it. This clip is from an emulator of the Sol-20, and it uses a higher order filter than the first order RC used by the original hardware. The real hardware is harsher sounding than this. The ten seconds of the 25 second clip is unimpressive, but the 2nd half shows how much can be done with such limited hardware.

Both of my grandparents from dad's side are 93 and still doing relatively well - self-sufficient, nothing horrible looming that we are aware of.

Genes, good eating habits and healthy dose of exercise (rather low/medium effort that lasts long like gardening or foraging mushrooms in their case), coupled with obvious things like no addictions... and voila. They both had very good work ethics, on a level I can only envy (thanks to communists that didn't get them far professionally but that's another story and it didn't bother them).

Bad part is, all of their friends and colleagues are dead by now. They can only meet their kids' generation.
>They also have poorly trained pilots, who either aren’t qualified for ILS or aren’t confident in poor conditions - on numerous occasions I’ve been on flights which they’ve diverted (Bristol becomes Birmingham, Bergerac becomes Toulouse, Porto becomes Madrid) because of weather, while other airlines land and take off without issue.

Completely wrong they have the same requirements as any other airline. It's the law to have a APL and a type rating + check rides every 6 months -- just like any European airline.
years ago on the first ML hype wave I completed the excellent MOOC by Andrew Ng. In that course, he did go through the math and it was helpful to me to understand what was going on under the hood, but even then the value of ML wasn't understanding what it was doing, but understanding if your model was doing something well. I think your take that using packages created by others will be mostly what we do moving forward, and that's also true of pretty much all software development.
Why would that sound crazy? It'll have been done 55 years before that.

> The media didn’t make up the 2 million Americans dying statistic, they merely reported it.

Absolutely but the point I am making is -how- the media chooses to communicate science facts or studies leads to people just thinking they were blatantly wrong.

Good scientists optimize for truth, the media optimizes for impact. Both are wrong from time to time but scientists are far more careful at how they quantify certainty (which is so often lost in translation when reported).
For a long time, it used to be PHP + MySQL + JQuery. Now its more like React + Next + Firebase.

If after “resolving” something you can’t actually write down what was accomplished, nothing was resolved.

I’ve had a lot of 1on1s meant to “get us all on the same page” where a boss just blithers and blathers for an hour without communicating anything. The value in writing is working through the mistakes your brain makes during communication. Going to talking just makes it easier to ignore errors.
the end goal of "only good parents have children" is a good one, but there are a lot of issues with implementing this in the real world, especially if it involves directly intervening in human reproductive choices.

> B. It is better for the kid to not exist than to end up with a miserable life. Crime statistics for poor dysfunctional households doesn't look good.

this is more a philosophical position than an objective fact, but I am inclined to agree with you. that is, if you could be certain that someone would have a terrible life, it would be better for them not to be born. the problem is the error bar on your good life vs. bad life projection. while the odds might be pretty bad for the group, individuals born in bad circumstances can and do become wealthy, achieve success in their field, and/or end up living generally happy lives.

> C. Overpopulation is a problem. Even if you can feed 12 billion people, at what cost. And you can already feed that many. The problem is often political and societal (stopping food waste can solve global hunger). If someone can suggest a solution, I am all ears.

overpopulation is not really a problem in the developed world, where birthrates tend to be at or slightly below replacement.

the real problem with this idea is who "poor irresponsible people" turn out to be in practice. I won't speak to "irresponsible", as I'm not sure what to use as a source, but minorities are disproportionately represented among the poor. it's hard to see how this wouldn't end up disproportionately preventing minority children from being born. there's also the question of how you would prevent these people from having children in the first place, without using some very dystopian methods.

Right!? I found dressing “older” actually made me look younger. It looked like I was pretending to be grown up. I kind of embraced a rock/slacker look in my 20s and that worked best. These days I just do the dad look. That works fine. Best of luck out there!

Unsure, I definitely would like to have fully working environments that can be explored interactively (with proper BSP collisions, doors/lifts, blinking lights etc). Everything is stored in BRAM, unsure the sprites would fit (maybe a few, or at lower res, but I did not look into that yet). When this gets released I hope this will also be reused/expanded.

My initial objective was more about creating some non-trivial hardware using the language I am working on, as well as learning how to implement and optimize algorithms in the context of FPGA. Due to my background in graphics / game programming, revisiting the Doom renderer was a perfect test case! Now that I have this first prototype I want to optimize and fine tune it some more, before adding too many features -- especially as this is meant to serve as a tutorial/example for the language.
This is fantastic, especially with functional wired ethernet at such a price point. This is a lot of customizable horsepower in a small form factor with great peripheral support!

Is there a reliable screenshot version of this I can install on my own Linux system? Some sort of headless browser, I imagine. I realize this interactive system is much more powerful but it's overkill for an application I have in mind, a best effort single screenshot is fine. I've seen various attempts at doing this over the years and none have really worked reliably.

I'd consider paying a service to do this but it seems like self-installable is better.
Maybe if they weren't leeches on society it'd be easier to want technology like this to exist.

But cost is not access. People save money for elective procedures/treatments all the time, regardless of their income level, indicating that they have the same level of access as anyone else.

Ooh thank you, unittesting the documentation is a great tip that I will steal.

Totally agree, code review is a huge plus for many reasons.

If your company/project has a build graph (bazel, pants etc), you can even make the source file a dependency of the document, so whenever the source file changes, it's trivial to generate an automated "hey don't forget to update <doc> if it's relevant to this change".
