Yeah, I acknowledged my shame with this decision in the post. I did buy this $15 radio kit to "practice" soldering: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YHZE0G, but I've already somehow oxidized my solder iron's tip to the point that it won't heat the solder anymore. I would love a dummy's guide to soldering (YouTube or books) recommendation if you have one! (Although, I'm sure practice, practice, practice is going to be the top suggestion).

The snark and meanness in this HN thread is totally uncalled for and why people don't publish code. I can't believe this thread is on the front page together with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23157783 . Go read that, especially the ending comments on open source.

I don't like that people downvoted you for asking a question.

If someone thinks the question is stupid or not doesn't mean that a downvote is warranted. (nor an upvote, answer the question and move on.)

To answer though; it's just a coincidence, as you might already know Nvidia uses famous scientists (especially in the field of electricity) as the names of their microarchitectures.

* Volta (Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electric battery)

* Tesla (inventor/designer of A/C current)

* Maxwell (James Clerk Maxwell, founder of electromagnetic radiation)

* Pascal (Blaise Pascal, lots of science around "pressure", arguably his work led to the creation of vacuum tubes used in early computers)

Ampere (from André-Marie Ampère, who lent his name to his discovery and classification of "amps") is just an electrical scientists name.

Coincidentally a new company founded in 2017 decided that it was a good name for them, and thus the confusion.
The executive branch in Wisconsin took the approach of “By Any Means Necessary”. That has consequences as we have now seen. The Governor couldn’t prolong his lockdown order so he had a subordinate issue an order doing so. In doing that he ran aground on legal niceties such as the legislature having to be involved for much of the subordinate’s order to be legally effective.

The ends do not justify the means in this country. UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh’s highlighting of the decisiom is helpful: https://reason.com/2020/05/13/wisconsin-supreme-court-strike...

As for the court just ignoring the matter as an exercise of discretion that too would have been an abuse. The ends do not justify the means. We won’t last under that innovation.
As someone who has worked with remote teams for years and has spent many, many hours in Zooms and the like, my advice is to get used to it because it's great.

I used to dread conference calls. I can't stand listening to a room where I can't see faces. I never know what people are thinking.

The extension provides the following features:

1. Highlights the sponsorship status(Relevant to Non-Immigrants in the United States):
If the employer mentions about sponsorship in the job description, then it will highlight on the page.
Red Color - If the employer is not willing to provide sponsorship.
Green Color - If the employer provides sponsorship.
Yellow Color - If nothing is mentioned in the job description about sponsorship.

2. Highlights the job requirements(work experience):
If the employer describes previous work experience in the job description then it will appear on the page like 2+ years experience.
Also, some of the job requirement skills will highlight too like programming languages.
Highlighted Color - Purple

3. Tracks the job links:
Clicking on web extension will open a new tab that shows all the LinkedIn jobs visited links.
Note: The web extension must remain ON. For the records copy the page(Ctrl + A/Command + A) and save it on local storage.

Very interesting! I've been looking for a self-hosted analytics tool to replace the Google. I'm going to take a closer look.

Btw, I don't think you need to start a broader self-hosted movement; it's been building for a while. See https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted for example. Keep up the good work! You're not alone.
It is regrettable that we do not have a consensus in favor of rights, and that so many people are seeking to use the law to make their critics shut up, in a variety of arenas — whether Trump-huggers trying to revoke the license of critical news media (such a "license" being a concept that doesn't even exist) or state run school districts disciplining kids for wearing a MAGA hat, or any one of a number of university speech codes.

But in that respect, at least, our law is working as intended, the founding fathers' forethought centuries ago still supplying a recourse in the courts when the politically weak are oppressed by the powerful. In the UK, the courts are an official apparatus of the powerful's oppression, and the consensus is that this is how it should be.

Std:function, part 1: The basic idea
> There isn't enough lithium on earth to sustain a full switch to eletric.

No serious person claims that. The bogus article you linked to doesn't even claim that. Lithium is as common as copper in the earth's crust; the USGS estimates 13.5 million metric tons of it. We are presently limited only by the scale of current lithium mining operations.

"Rest assured, Earth has the lithium. The next dozen years will drain less than 1 percent of the reserves in the ground, BNEF says. But battery makers are going to need more mines to support their production, and they’ll have to build them much more quickly than anyone thought."

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-lithium-battery-futu...

By the time we get anywhere close to dwindling natural resources, it's likely that opportunities for lithium recycling will ramp up.
> [The sandwich company named] Subway required her to put her contact details on a contact-tracing form so as to place her food order. She didn’t think anything about it: we all want to stop the spread of the pandemic, after all. The form asked for her name, home address, email address and phone number, all of which she put down.

I'm putting this here because some people may erroneously assume that this story is relevant to bluetooth/cellphone contact tracing.

I feel like you're missing a basic sanity check here. If your position commits you to believing that having a bunch of infrastructure blown up is good for the economy, that it stimulates growth when a bunch of people die and most businesses disappear, you need to back up and think about where your train of thought got lost.

This is another PL I won't try (not that the authors should care).

I'm still waiting for a good "system programming language" that

- has compile time execution that can call a compiler API to allow compile time code generation

- full compile time reflection, optional runtime reflection

- doesn't have any kind shape or form of automatic memory management

- has decent discriminated unions

- is not much more opinionated than C on how I should live my life

- operator overloading: define at least common operators (+, *, -, etc...) for user types. Sometimes I like the idea to be able to define infix/postfix functions in general while also assigning a priority and an associativity (totally possible with a hand made parser), but I think that could easily lead to a mess if miss-used by the community.

Zig is spot on for some of those. JB's Jai on others. For the rest it looks like there aren't many people that are bothered by the things I'm bothered with.
I recommend the Multi-Account Containers extension by Mozilla, which has a "sort tabs" button that accomplishes what you want.

Changing your career to become a web developer – why, how and what discussion
I've been focusing on re-making my various Web party games into a more unified platform at https://jklm.fun/

The previous iterations were built years ago using CoffeeScript, Grunt/Gulp, Jade, Stylus, etc. This time around, I went for vanilla HTML/JS/CSS, no transpilation, no bundler, no build step at all (and no frameworks). It's been a joy. I'm using the TypeScript compiler in VS Code for sanity checking and might add some JSDoc to leverage the type checks even, but for now it's quite nice as is.

I've also enjoyed building up a Discord community for it all, got almost a thousand people in there now and it's a lot of fun interacting on a daily basis.
That’s a super cool idea and I might suggest that for my company honestly as it’s a big concern of mine! How has user growth been?

Isn’t this like saying movie makers all have access to the same tools but not all movies are great?
As a solo-developer I’ve been nurturing an Electron app named Label LIVE. I spent most of April adding a feature to render multi-label “sheets” (think Avery/ULINE labels) as multi-page PDFs. It’s been really fun, because each label on the sheet can have unique data (from a spreadsheet, a serial number, a barcode, etc) so the end result feels ... pretty awesome.

A side-affect of all this PDF works is that my app now supports all system printers (inkjet/laser) including fancy color label printers from Epson, Primera, Afinia, etc.

Printing labels has always been a total pain, especially on Mac. My goal is to make label printing an enjoyable process for both Windows and Mac users. Check it out at https://label.live

The problems with Reddit I'd like to add

* Bots and sock puppets pushing agendas

* Reddit counter culture movements and backlashes. Seems to be bipolar with pro China / anti China every day of the week.

* Reddit nice guys who have account names like "Iliketitties" or something really depraved. Along with all the other hypocrites

* Reddit Admins and big personalities driving content trends on the site e.g. (/u/gallowboob)

* Recycling of posts / knowledge, since there are always new people joining. You get things like "TIL that bananas are sterile" trending once every month. Which is frustrating for veteran users

* Reddit arm chair generals/economists/politicians. The points system rewards trendy content and doesn't necessarily mean quality. Unlike points in Stackoverflow, there is some degree of confidence in the users competency.

* The fact that Reddit is mainly populated with technologically proficient people, who probably have some sort of issue, whether it be mental, psychological. Sure we all suffer from our demons but the amount of stuff I read on there makes me cringe at times.

* The "Reddit Contrarian", waiting to snipe your post with their immense intellect

Sure there are many more that could be extrapolated to any other social network.
I have a container garden going in my back patio. I'm up to 31 containers right now.
I can't agree more; say "no" early and often.

But there are cultural forces, even moreso in software development workplace culture, that make saying "no" hard/uncomfortable, and receiving a "no" feel like a bigger deal than it is.

It leads to the passive aggressiveness we're all familiar with, and that leads to a further slide, adding even more ambiguity to a rejection on the scale between "eh, maybe not right now" and "fuck off and die in a fire."
I don't understand what people are trying to categorize when they say C/C++. They're incredibly different languages. It's hard to find similarities between C and modern C++ (C++2x flavor). If we put C and C++ under the same umbrella, why not put Java there too? I just think when you say C/C++ you need to clarify what exactly do you mean by that.

> What's the difference between a camera and being in person?

That's your 'matter of taste'; for me it's 'what's the difference between text chat and voice chat' (actually, I find text chat far more efficient than voice chat). I know many people who won't turn on their camera while they are not shy in public and you know many people who like voice better over text, so I guess that's just what you like or don't like?
Terrorism has been removed of its meaning since 2001.
Terrorism means using violence or threat of violence to influence social or political decisions.

Not everything bad is terrorism.
A mentally ill person going on a murder-suicide rampage after beijg ignored by a girl is not a terrorist. A person acting in their self-interest in a way that contributes to systemic racism or oppression is not a terrorist.
Hunting or threatening people of a certain race or gender or orientation or hobby to scare them and others away is terrorism. Blowing up buildings to pressure decision makers into a policy change is terrorism.

Maybe manipulating a single individual via threats or minor violence could be considered small scale terrorism (but their are better words, like harassment or abuse or stalking or assault).
I don't know what it is, but college football fandom is one of the most fun, entertaining fandoms out there. So many memes (not an image macro, but shared consciousness ideas).

I'm only a casual cfb fan, but during my forays into the online representation of the cfb fandom (mostly through reddit/r/cfb) I always marvel at the depth and breadth of the creativity, humor, and information in the fandom.

I could see where some people (and let's be honest, it's mostly men ages 18-30 or so) could immerse themselves in that subculture and have a lot of fun.

I imagine there are multiple subcultures that are large and immersive enough to totally lose yourself in and I think it's great.

(Of course there's also an element of avoidance of the real world in there, but that's more on the individual than the community)

Hi all,

AirTape makes it easy to record podcasts directly from your browser. No plugins or anything needed. Just opened the beta today.

- Supports riff wave (.wav)

- has build in voip

- easy to invite co-hosts and guests via url

Looking forward to get some honest feedback.

Best,

If this is right, it means there's a natural non-intervention-based treatment for COVID called "going outside and getting sun."

What a concept. Positively medieval!

Funny how you don't see many doctors or pharmaceutical companies trumpeting this new treatment as a part of a treatment regime.

Obviously there are second order social-benefits to staying at home, but it's just funny that so little attention has gone into something as simple and reasonable as 'get more sun' compared to the billions spent on equipment, drugs, and hospitalizations.

> Applets weren't necessarily standalone software

That's a very good point.

I don't think they were the root cause, but even though there are scenarios like you're talking about, I still think we'd be in a different world today if different companies were handling those plugins.

It's worth noting that from a preservation perspective, today we're at the point where people are pretty realistically looking into emulating SWF runtimes in Javascript inside web browsers. If that happened, you wouldn't even need click-to-play. SWFs would just work with the same sandboxing guarantees as the browser.

The biggest reason that hasn't really taken off is because the SWF format still hasn't been opened up. The reason why there isn't just a drop-in WASM library that lets you run Flash code on the web is because of Adobe, not Mozilla or Google.

Of course, especially in the case of Java we could only ever emulate features that browsers support. But that's why the plugins were deprecated in the first place; because they supported inherently insecure features that we either don't want in the browser, or don't want to support in the same way.

But that's true for lots of platforms, and yet I can already run C/Rust/Lua code in a web browser. The Lua runtime had been cross-compiled to ASM.js before Flash was dead (although today we have a lot better speed). But the difference between Lua/C and Java was that the most common Java runtime was proprietary. OpenJDK browser plugins would break most sites that I was using. So there wasn't anybody who was sitting down to say, "excluding the features that browsers don't support, is there any of this code that's salvageable?" They weren't really allowed to do that.
this is exactly how it was invented.

Yeah. That's been my general problem with adopting NVidia for anything. They make good hardware, but there's a lot of lock-in, and not a lot of transparency. That introduces business risk.

I'm not in a position where I need GPGPU, but if there wasn't that risk, and generally there were mature, open standards, I'd definitely use it. The major breakpoint would be when libraries like Numpy do it natively, and better yet, when Python can fork out list comprehensions to a GPU. I think at that point, the flood gates will open up, and NVidia's marketshare will explode from specialized applications to everywhere.

Intel stumbled into it by accident, but got it right with x86. Define an open(ish) standard, and produce superior chips to that standard. Without AMD, Cyrix, Via, and the other knock-offs, there would be no Intel at this point.

Intel keeps getting it right with numerical libraries. They're open. They work well. They work on AMD. But because Intel is building them, Intel has that slight bit of advantage. If Intel's open libraries are even 5% better on Intel, that's a huge market edge.
Missing the point that this is already going on? Or missing the point that the amendment to the patriot act didn't pass and that this will keep going on?
