Base-32 just encodes one more bit per symbol (5 instead of the 4 per symbol that hex does), so the improvement is rather minor.
Digikey parts list + pcb can be a reasonably convenient way to put your own kit together - you can upload a csv to digikey and have them fill your shopping cart automatically, and it works pretty well. They even suggest alternatives like if your list had 8x an item, but it is actually cheaper to buy 10x the item it will suggest that.

My house has folks from France, Burundi, US and India. The non-US people find it a lot easier to understand each other's accents than Americans do understanding us.

Ironically though, I have a bad habit of using big words in spoken English, because I learnt it as written bookish English first.

Easy to parse instructions? I mean Thumb-2 is very much a variable-length encoding, though okay there's no equivalent AArch64 instruction encoding, but basically all AArch64 implementations still support Thumb.

All the modern research suggests very much that the decode stage isn't a significant difference nowadays; instruction density is increasingly significant as CPUs become ever faster compared with memory access.

>You will have much more success if you take this first step as soon as possible. No research, no thinking.

I'd be careful with this advice. Almost every time I climb outside I see groups who clearly have very little idea of what they're doing, because all the small but deadly details are wrong - no stopper knots, not backing up rappels, building weird anchors, having 1 point of failure, etc.

From their perspective, they're just getting out there and taking those first steps - but with an inadequate understanding of how much risk they've taken on. They don't even realize they're doing anything wrong. It's really bad and regularly leads to serious accidents. To actually climb outside they need mentorship or a bunch of research and practice, both of which take a while to acquire. They should definitely not start by doing the thing.
I speculate that the most special thing is that the guy has a camera on the bridge. We see everyone who hits this bridge. That combined with a pretty low bridge (it was raised a few years back but it is still low enough to catch a lot of vehicles) and a culture of using phones to give us driving directions gives us this situation.
Ah, yes, I used to work in a building which had (at great expense, apparently) many curved walls, with "exciting" shiny metal cladding along much of the walls. The roof leaked constantly (frequently into our machine room) and the metal clad walls meant cell phones were useless inside, but I bet that architect got an award.

Why would a reputable game developer ever release malware? You can still go to a reputable developer's website or even Sony's website and obtain the game from their store and be guaranteed that it's free from malware.

Of course, if you're obtaining your games from Torrent-Warez-1337.net then you need to be more careful but then it's your fault, it's not like you didn't know what you were in for when you went to a shady website.

> > Brutalism has become popular with many people of my age.

> Has it really? Have you lived in any of the places you mentioned and consider nice?

I can't afford to. I do know people who live in the Barbican estate, at least, and who love it.

But it's a good question and I think quite right. My remark does sort of exhibit the same mistake that Brutalism was supposed to avoid - using public appreciation of aesthetic quality as a proxy for lived quality. And I also see that I'm praising the expensive, ambitious, now-unaffordable projects, not the ones that were "problematic" and then blown up, like Red Roads (in Glasgow) or Heygate (in London).
On the whole I agree but I stopped reading after this:

“ It should be obvious to anyone that skyscrapers should be abolished. After all, they embody nearly every bad tendency in contemporary architecture: they are not part of nature, they are monolithic, they are boring, they have no intricacy, and they have no democracy. Besides, there is plenty of space left on earth to spread out horizontally; the only reasons to spread vertically are phallic and Freudian.”
>America does not lack people, it has good universities

I am not american so not 100% certain, but from what I can see, the public education system in the USA is not that great and universities are way too costly compared with the rest of the world.

I 100% agree that there is a huge diversity in tech problem.

Not all of that problem is about hiring POCs either, a female friend of mine had to flee a job because none of her colleagues would accept to have a woman as their manager (that's in 2020 in the SV..)

>So why are the big tech corporations that are constantly virtue signalling about Black Lives Matter

You are answering yourself, virtue signaling is cheap. I can talk for my own company. They were happy enough to talk about the importance of BLM, but less interested in taking concrete steps.

I fully believe that companies should encourage their engineers to participate in mentorship programs. I highly doubt that it would magically solve systemic racism but it would be a relatively cheap way to find and hire junior engineers and good PR.
It should be WAY out, almost at the intersection.
> I think idea of organizing a social network based on proximity and centered around community information is a viable idea

NextDoor and Craigslist and Reddit's /r/{city} communities just prove that it may be viable but it's pretty undesirable. I think it's best to not give the most neurotic, ill people of your community the loudest voice, but these social networks also create this neuroticism and illness.

You also create a scenario (NextDoor especially) where all the sane people are driven out by the crazies. Back when NextDoor was new, after a year it would come up in conversation and sure enough, anyone normal would admit they tried it and had to delete it.

Social media is messing us up. I don't think we're missing some new take on it that's going to make it all better. I think the vestigially tribal parts of our brain make it a non-starter. We need to get back to the face-to-face -- it seems to be the only way we keep in mind that there's a human at the other end of the line, not some nebulous automaton that we craft into everything we hate in the world.
> Nattering busybodies on Nextdoor

What is more fair than locals choosing which stuff is bothering them?
No, that is fairy common, as far as I know. The only issue with that is that some universities will not lend out dissertations via interlibrary loan. In those cases, the only way to read a dissertation is to visit the university. This is a big problem for foreign dissertations, since it makes it extremely difficult to access the research.
You’d be off base in questioning any of that, at least as the central premise that “X person didn’t have Y effects because they ate too much Z macro.”

Keto, when strictly followed, provides a great reduction to bolus needs (in personal experience, 80-90% reduction, depending on protein intake), and a lesser, but still significant, reduction to basal needs (30% in my case); however, both types of insulin are absolutely still needed to prevent high blood sugars in an environment with no insulin, which is a significant risk of DKA (and death). Protein metabolizes into excess sugar in the blood stream as well, so unless you’re eating a pure fat diet, you will still need insulin. In addition to that, there are hormones (cortisol for sure), and other non-macro nutrients and alkaloids (a common report is caffeine, but this very much depends on individual biochemistry) that can cause rises in blood sugar, which require insulin to compensate for.

A type 1 diabetic without honeymoon insulin production will still die after a period of even the strictest of ketogenic diets. It was the treatment prior to the introduction of insulin, and was effective at extending the lives of diabetics; they would typically be able to live up to 3 or 4 years post-diagnosis before eventually dying.

For the record, my body enters keto at or around 45g/day, as measured by the presence and amounts of ketones; anyone who says “you need exactly N grams per day or it isn’t keto” is extrapolating from generalized experience at best.

The problem with keto isn’t that it isn’t effective for some things, it’s that people go a long way to oversimplify both the science behind it and the impacts it can have on other conditions by over applying that lens of simplification. It’s a good diet for some, but it isn’t a free lunch (pun not intended) - and it’s far from something that can eliminate the needs of insulin in type 1 populations, as this article alludes to.
This is the kind of advice that, for one person, might be exactly what they need, and for another it might be the exact opposite of what they need. For example, Christopher McCandless dove head-first into the real thing (that is, surviving without help in the Alaskan wilderness), without proper preparation and training, and died. He didn't have to, he could have built up to it gradually by training various survival skills (aka "faking" it).

Also, the author claims that the difference between "doing the real thing" and faking it is what success largely boils down to. That is a completely wild claim, with of course not a shred of evidence to back it up. Does the author really believe that this is a necessary and largely sufficient condition for success?
There are two cameras pointed at the bridge 24/7 and a guy posts every collision.
11'8" is a 28 inches shorter than the current minimum permitted (for new structures) by federal law. So, it a surprisingly low clearance.

That, and it's really pretty common for people to not pay much attention to road signs. For example, in my neighborhood, there are quite a few intersections with "no turn on red" signs posted. And it's a regular occurrence for people behind me to lay on the horn in a rather distressed manner when I'm first in line, and choosing to obey traffic laws. I live on a street with no outlet, and my kids just love watch lawn care companies that have gotten themselves stranded from the living room windows. It would appear to be a tad bit difficult to back your way straight down a full city block when there's a 15 foot trailer hitched to your extended cab pickup truck.

For what it's worth, I used to work about a block away from a completely different underpass that was also old and had a very low clearance. And I suspect that the only real reason why that one isn't similarly famous is that none of us ever thought to set up a webcam.

Heck, until Rhapsody Developer Release 2 Apple shipped IA-32 builds. It was only after that, with Mac OS X Server 1.0 that they dropped IA-32 support publicly. That they'd kept the whole thing running on IA-32 never seemed at all far-fetched.
So far the best solution I've seen to this sort of thing (other than building a taller bridge) is the waterfall approach. Probably a bit spensie for some rando railroad bridge but it's clever nonetheless.

Using heatmaps from the https://usertrack.net tool on its own landing page I usually notice:

* What buttons in the header are actually needed/clicked/hovered https://i.snipboard.io/UShRbI.jpg

* What non-clickable elements users try to click on (eg. product images, they expect to get a lightbox, but nothing happens)

* If a specific UI element is visible enough and users know it's interactable
https://i.snipboard.io/nJ7AlX.jpg

I personally find the session playbacks a lot more insightful, because heatmaps don't really tell the whole story, but a session playback can show you in what order do your users read the page, what are they trying to do, what are their last actions before they leave your site, etc.

Intro to ML: Course Overview
"Sketch is macOS"

I recently came across a Windows-only app called Lunacy which offers Sketch file import and editing for Windows users (I haven't tried the app).

The published Sketch file specification [1] is what allows Figma and Adobe XD (and Lunacy) to import Sketch files. Ironically, neither Figma or Adobe XD publish their file formats.

I think where Figma is pulling ahead of Sketch (in terms of usage behaviour) is that it is being used by more than just designers. In fact, Figma is beginning to encroach (possibly unintentionally) on digital whiteboard tools like Miro and Mural.

One point that is always conspicuously absent from all of these kinds of discussions is a reflection on the actual value that Apple is providing for apps that are hosted on the AppStore. In the modern day software ecosystem, it is far too easy to take everything for granted and assume that all of these big companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon are all building software platforms for developers out of the good of their hearts. The reality is, these companies are all profit-driven, and the only reason why Apple for instance invests billions of dollars every year into the SDK is because there is a mutually beneficial relationship that exists between them and the developers.

Of course all developers want an ecosystem where they can develop their own software for the devices that they and their customers use without restrictions. However, the developer community should be careful to not become too complacent and expect that Apple and other companies are just going to give them everything that they want for free. If the technology industry wants to get serious about building free and open platforms, then we should start focusing on supporting projects like the Librem[1] smartphone which are built with open-source ideals in mind.

> You want to start running? Put on some shoes and go for a run.

I agree, but not for things like this which require significant physical exertion. Many physical things have components that, if done incorrectly, are injurious. And they're not always obvious.

Guitar, for example, has barre chords. And EVERYBODY always teaches them to beginners at the first fret so you can do an F chord.

This is LUDICROUS. That is the maximum tension point on the guitar with respect to barre chords, and it's a good way to injure new players if they're on a steel string acoustic. New players do not have the strength or the flexibility to do that chord.

Good guitar teachers teach that up much higher on the neck, and they generally only barre a couple strings. Once the student gets stronger, then they start moving it down and using more strings.

Good teachers of any physical exertion activity always have some pitfall like this that they instruct you to avoid.
When I first read an article criticising Monopoly, I realised I didn’t know how to play it. We’d been house ruling it all this whole time! If you had fun playing it when you were younger, I’d question if you even know how to play it.

Sure, the house rules can make it more fun. But I’d argue, if you are just changing the rules, do you actually like Monopoly? Why not buy a game with rules you like?
You have multiple ways to print the macros either as AST tree or even Nim code that can be copy-pasted to replace the macro:

- dumpTree

- lisprRepr

- treeRepr

- toStrLit

This means that for debugging you can generate your code. Replace the macro by regular code temporarily and understand what's wrong and then fix the macros.

I don't think I have a single library without macro but I try to keep them as reasonable as you can. But sometimes you need to give a Python feel (for example to provide a Numpy interface for a multidimensional array library) or you have to do code transformation (implementing async or multithreading as a library or autovectorizing high-performance computing code or implementing a GPU or Audio DSL) and there is no way around macros.
