I see. My experience was with medium test stands (couple of thousands of channels) in a more industrial setting, we didn’t really need high-accuracy or specialized ducers (there were maybe one or two of those and we usually wrote custom software for talking to then). Reliable, accurate enough and with strong platform support was killer for us. I don’t think anyone beats NI at that level of integration.

The biggest thing I miss from most search engines is first-class support for special characters.

I usually resort to spelling out the symbols I’m looking for (“shebang bin env versus bin bash”) but often people who ask questions or post issues on GitHub use the actual symbols, not the words.

I’ve tried a couple of symbol-specific search engines (e.g. https://symbolhound.com) but found it pretty hit-or-miss.

I really wish Google/DuckDuckGo had better symbol support natively.

MPSoCs have 4x Arm A53s and 2x Arm R5s (and Mali-400 graphics, although they're moving away from that because they found most customers don't care about that).

RFSoCs have something similar - strapped directly to tiles that do 4-6 Gbps analog/digital or digital/analog converters. If you're trying to make a badass missile front end, radio system, or radar system they're amazing!

They even have FEC hard cores that run incredibly fast. They're amazing for all kinds of waveform work.
Cloudflare dns doesn’t support it, if they’re your dns provider. Some browsers are using them for dns over https which may be the culprit.
I'd be interested to hear some informed opinions on this tech...

Doesn't this add a ton of heat, and therefore a loss in clock speed?

Do the benefits of improved routing and transistor density outweigh this loss?
Abandoning the discussion and resorting to personal attacks, great post.
NATS by itself is designed to be more of an always-on style queuing system (the term they use is "dial tone") but doesn't handle node failures by itself. If you're looking for a Kafka-flavored NATS, there's a new release I saw recently called LiftBridge that adds some durability to the NATS protocol.
Did your wife run off with a surfer?

People are trying to express this idea that the "people will be lazy and content themselves with a meager UBI" is not an accurate one, and nearly every reply you've made has been a nonsequitor about how we should presumably be resentful at paying surfers to surf.

There are plenty that do, especially in embedded. I did assembly at Siemens half the day (the other half was C) when I worked for Siemens VDO in 2005-2006. It's not that hard, especially if you do simple stuff, opposed to high algorithms I usually implement these days in higher programming languages.

Steel and Morris wrote a letter in response saying they would agree to the terms if McDonald's ceased advertising its products and instead only recommended the restaurant privately to friends.

Brilliant :D

I was interviewed by Forstall (many many years ago, back when that was actually sane) and he asked me one of those annoying puzzle questions - don't get me wrong I love those questions, they're just useless as interview questions.

He was personable enough, but I feel that question also coloured my opinion for many years.

To show how quickly things move that article from four weeks ago is already woefully out of date with the CDC having since revised down numbers and Dr. Birx herself criticizing the CDC for inflating them. The number of cases is exploding upward because of wide spread testing, but deaths are plummeting despite states opening up.

Okay, but the contents of that raw occlet stream will be a file in some format. The iPhone isn't like a traditional computer—the user picks an image from a library of images, and the type of image is abstracted away. Yes, it so happens that modern iPhones store images on disk as HEIC, but since this isn't user-visible it amounts to an implementation detail.

Since the user didn't specify a format, and the website didn't specify a format, the iPhone needs to guess something. Seems to me it should guess the format that's most likely to work, not the one only a tiny number of devices support.

I just gave this a 15-minute try. Their overall design and marketing is pretty good and hooked me into seeing if I could give it a go. $300 Lifetime isn't too bad either.

- the initial tutorials are video-only, and the videos have a lot of filler and so move quite slowly even at 2x speed.

- it's about 20% over-designed (they have their squaresponge mascot ready to be an MS Clippy in the corner)

- I couldn't edit a todo item title/text. There's a little toolbar on each item with 5 little icons, one of which is "edit", and you can edit everything else, but you can't edit the text. This makes no sense to me given the rest of their design is so slick.

So I stopped then because it seemed a little flimsy, and I don't want to get my productivity cycle invested in a slick and flimsy paid service.

Fantastic points. We needed millions of queues with millions of items with fair queueing and scheduled release of some items and immediate release of others. 10s of thousands of messages per second. We had to build our own.

Yeah, it's great news for engineers living in places where people don't pay more than a dollar per day for food. "Eat the rich" is one of most unintentionally-ironic phrases ever muttered.

I'm familiar. Obviously, over the long term, DoH is going to make its way to authority services, and subsume the legacy plaintext service. Maybe, because nobody has a strong interest in anti-censorship in recursor-to-authority communications, it'll even be DoT between cache and authority servers; I don't care (though it will be silly to have two different transports for the same fundamental transaction).

Who's to say you can't use Sass variables _and_ CSS variables?

My current shop is moving to switch our sass color function `color.get()` to either dump hardcoded hex or a css variable usage based on a param. It currently just does hex.
Gopher was designed for and by academia. It is simply a research tool. It is a way to post, find and retrieve textual data on a topic. It still does exactly what it was designed to do. That what it was designed to do is no longer relevant, given the web, is besides the point. It still functions as designed, much like the ed editor. And that it is now used almost exclusively by hobbyists trying to recreate an 80's dial-up BBS aura is also besides the point...
We used to have a pub rate of about 200k msgs/s, from about 400 producers all to a single exchange and had similar issues. However, we were able to mitigate this by using lazy queues.

This worked fine until things got behind and then we couldn't keep up. We were able to work around that by using a hashed exchange that spread messages across 4 queues. It hashed based on timestamp inserted by a timestamp plugin. Since all operations for a queue happen in the same event loop, any sort of backup led to pub and sub operations fighting for CPU time. By spreading this across 4 queues we wound up with 4x the CPU capacity for this particular exchange. With 2000 queues you probably didn't run into that issue very often.
Tests take time. You don’t know what side effects may present themselves one year, two years, five years down the line until you’ve monitored the vaccine for one, two, five years.

Show HN: We just launched MegaAI. It's a 4k30fps, 4W, 4TOPS inference powerhouse
Hey HN - super exited to share with you the launch of MegaAI from Luxonis! MegaAI is a tiny module that unleashes the full power of Movidius' Myriad X VPU. We're starting things out with a Crowdsupply campaign with Early Bird edition price at only $149[1]. Damn good deal for a 4k30fps, 2.5W, 4TOPS device that's essentially plug-n-play over USB 3!

The savvy among you might say, "but wait, isn't there a super expensive SDK that goes along with the Myriad X?" Don't worry! We took care of that with the DepthAI API![2]

The DepthAI API allows pretty much anyone to dig into the functionality of the Myriad X VPU in order to run any model you can put through OpenVino. In fact, you can get MegaAI up and running with a Raspberry Pi in under 7 minutes.[3]

Definitely checkout the Crowdsupply page for full set of specs[1].

Would love to hear your feedback!

Thanks!!

Eh, did they finally unlock all the transceivers, MMCMs, DSP48s, etc?

> the real argument is between those who can demand a high salary regardless of geography, and those who can only demand a high salary _because_ of geography

It sounds dramatic expressed that way, but doing so is committing the binary fallacy.

In reality, there is a spectrum of the leverage between employees and employers that depends on many different factors including the employee's knowledge, skills, experience, reputation, trust, institutional knowledge, and even the degree of the employee's willingness to show up regularly in person.

That and the extent to which the employer values any of those.

The covid19 wfh emergency is going to modify that spectrum, depending on the job, cost of living, and the area. But it is not going to get rid of the spectrum altogether, just as it isn't going to eliminate the intrinsic value of cities and metros as factories for creativity, just diminish them a bit for a subset of the employees.
I'm for UBI. I'm just suggesting it should be implemented in a way that doesn't causes jobless people to group up into ghettos. Those areas would have high unemployment and little opportunity, putting those people in a dead-end. Even with UBI you want social mobility.

It's one extreme that could worsen class divide. The other extreme is making UBI too comfortable, which you highlight. It's a balance, and I don't know how to do it across different COL.
Well, it was posted by someone I know, but who knows where it originated. Any specific thing, who knows. My point is that if you assume the people promoting the protests are generally promoting unpleasantness on all sides, then it's in plain view - there's no question of why they aren't. What you see depends on your priors.
That's maybe a bit uncharitable. I like my kids, but some tension will arise when they are shrieking & running circles around me while I try to suss out a bug or pay attention to a meeting.

thanks for the interesting & thoughtful view. I learned BASIC as a kid in the mid-eighties and already then felt a big obvious gap between what I could write in BASIC and commercial software like Nintendo NES games or even Commodore 64 games, that were written in assembly language.

4. Press OK and then Ctrl-E (Start Capture)

5. Leave it running for a few minutes
After ~10 minutes I get: "Connected to 0 servers"

Extreme inefficiency. Extreme amounts of money spent simply on accounting and legal teams to keep track of all the plans, in companies which often have at least a dozen different plans per state. And every doctors' office and hospital and urgent care must hire or contract these services. Before beginning to serve a patient they and/or the patient must do paperwork to look up in-network specifics and insurance coverage terms.

It really is obscene and totally a waste, and it doesn't have to be this way. The notion that the free market does things more efficiently isn't always true, particularly in captive-market situations like healthcare, particularly in purely middleman industries like insurance which are actually incentivized to poorly allocate money to the alleged business purpose (covering medical services for people) because it increases their own profit margins.

YouTube has been deleting the excellent MedCram series and then recommending videos with titles like “China lied!” In my feed...because I subscribe to MedCram.
Some background on why this is happening; The legislature was supposed to elect a new chairman in October last year, pan-democratic lawmakers have been blocking this election by filibustering any meeting that tried to elect a new chairman.

The goal was to block this until the elections in September this year. About a month ago, China spoke out against this, and since then, the legislature has been trying to push this through. Evicted lawmakers tried to physical prevent this from happening, which is why they were removed from the room.

I don't really agree with the actions of both parties, but this is the back story. They weren't just forcefully removed out of nowhere, there were actions that led up to it.
The meaning of "GW" is controversial according to the Wikipedia entry for GW-BASIC [1]:

> There are several theories on what the initials "GW" stand for. Greg Whitten, an early Microsoft employee who developed the standards in the company's BASIC compiler line, says Bill Gates picked the name GW-BASIC. Whitten refers to it as Gee-Whiz BASIC and is unsure if Gates named the program after him. The Microsoft User Manual from Microsoft Press also refers to it by this name.[citation needed] It may have also been nicknamed Gee-Whiz because of its numerous graphics commands. Other common theories as to the initials' origins include "Graphics and Windows", "Gates, William" (Microsoft's president at the time), or "Gates-Whitten" (the two main designers of the program).

The government has an interest in long-term worker productivity, to increase its tax base. So what possible economic incentive would a government have not to return an injured worker to full productivity? Not taking investments like these is actuarially throwing money away.

Capitalism is just worse at providing universal services. Private mail can’t compete. Water is provided by private industry at rates thousands of times more. Could you imagine the harm caused by fire fighting becoming a protection racket?

what made you think they don't care about embedded space, just curious. Yes I use c++ for embedded though much less comparing to C.
You almost understand.

They'll have to raise the wage to get anyone to scrub those toilets, and that's the whole point. UBI reduces the power asymmetry between employer and employee, and gives the employee more leverage to negotiate better wages and conditions.

Good engineering can't undo bad management/process. Project management is what we really should work on to improve software quality
Well, when I was gone on vacation, my roommate told me that my cat would sit staring at the door forever each day, as if waiting for me to come back home. He'd be in the living room watching TV and cat would be at the door. Cat didn't do that when I was home. But cat did somehow manage to be at the door right away whenever I came home from work. Reason? Who knows, but I'd like to think the cat was waiting for me. :)
I'd suggest that yelling aside your mom might have a point. The fact that she is paying you sister's rent sounds extremely generous and unless your family is independently wealthy probably a financial hardship for her. Had you ever considered that the empathetic view of her side might be that she is being put in a difficult position of having to choose between paying her child's rent and being in a financially stressful position hence the yelling? Chalking it up to the by product of political leanings seems like a rationalization.

It would have been packaged in a way that should have been obvious to anyone "This is a gift of fine food", so I find it hard to believe he would have actually perceived it as some kind of threat, except in a kind of tongue in cheek way.
