Hi this is Natasha, the founder and CEO of SnapEDA. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Search is a hard problem for components because there are so many interpretations of terms, and the need to have such a large database of parameters.

We created SnapEDA to be a free service for users like yourself, so this kind of feedback is helpful. We’re definitely making progress on that front, but we know there’s a long way to go and will continue to improve that!
The toilet is a place where we get rid of the dirty things our bodies produce. We do it away from others because it's not sanitary or safe to just do it in the open.

It's weird that an adult can have a meal just about anywhere they please, but when a baby needs to be fed, the expectation is to do it in an isolated area as if it's a disgusting act.
Though Apple isn’t relenting on this front in the default experience, you can change the appearance in Accessibility options (look for Button Shape). That could help keep these distinct and easier to recognize.

Well we've already seen things gets delayed and even canceled (AirPower).

Cook's Apple is more about supply chain (where he excels), so if indeed the silicon design works, they would be able to 'ship'.

It sounds like you don't program in C++ then. "undefined reference" is quite explicit.

Another fun Thai fruit: ตะขบ (`da kop`), which are these tiny custard-like berries that literally spoil within hours after picking them. They make great shade trees, so you can often find them growing over a road in residential areas, and just pick a couple to eat on the spot. You'll never find them in a store, but they're a quintessential part of childhood here.
Americans are entitled to American stuff more than the rest of the world, yes. That's the principle upon which the concept of nation operates.

That notion is disappearing in the US quickly, though, and soon the rest of the world will follow.

I'm not familiar with Cocoa - can you elaborate on this? What is an attributed-string and how does a single string define the entire appearance and interaction of a complex UI component?
A baby can be fed from a bottle anywhere, no problem (I'm aware how much more beneficial breastfeeding is). It's the naked boob that sets people off. Expose even a male nipple in an office building or a restaurant and see what happens.

That had a diverse portfolio 25 years ago. They sold all of it off and now only have a handful of money makers.
I've heard a lot about dragon fruit over the years and seen plenty of hype about it. I've been on what feels like a lifelong quest to find good dragon fruit, spread over many years and many countries, including throughout SE Asia. Somehow, it's all been just watery in flavor with the texture of soft watermelon.
Ah yes, the genetric algorithm (GA). Well, in short, scheduling personnel is a very visible, policital, and important job. It affects people's lives, and has to be done farily and correctly. I did my best (by hand) for a few years (scheduling 50ish professors into 200 class sections), and I knew I was doing a bad job, but had no choice. It would take 2 weeks to do, because I could only mentally handle working on such a job for so much in a given day before I had to set it aside. So I came up with a preference form, that each could fill out dealing with things like preferred time of the day to teach, daily schedule compactness, preferred class levels, etc. These preferences could also be weighted (0..1) by importance to each person. So the GA starts out with a long, two-part inital random sequence that consists IDs to all professors followed by IDs to all possible classes. Using crossover and mutation (the usual GA steps), the order of the professor IDs vs the order of the classes (prof 0 gets class, prof 1 gets class 1, etc.) are shuffled by the GA. (There are a lot of strange constraints to this you'd only see in academia, related to pay, and contractual teaching requirements.) A fitness is calculated for each professor's latest schedule, by computing a weighted sum of their preferences, based on the assigned classes pulled from the long GA sequence. It's incredible how well it works. It is done in under an hour, people seem happy, everyone's schedule fitness is minimzed, and each's schedule fitness is explained to them (i.e. you got +3 points because you wanted an 8am class, and got one). Everyone can also see everyone else's fitness so it's a "share the pain" kind of resulting schedule. At times when we go in to tweak things by hand, it is clear how tightly the GA optimized things, as any human intervention we try usually and obviously makes things worse. Bottom line, the GA generates the CSV, which Selenium types into PS. After using the GA, I'm convinced that neither humans (or spreadsheets) should be invovled in scheduling at all. I also think GAs are also pretty incredible.

I always hoped Mixer would do better, I really liked watching E3 conferences on it over Twitch and YouTube. Its latency really was way better than them, and it seemed like Microsoft had better infrastructure overall.
I’m surprised to see the negative reactions here. Everywhere else online seemed overwhelmingly positive.
I have a hard time finding a middle ground that would have it be acceptable for people of color to be considered lesser, but this has been the status quo for decades after the civil rights act. There is no moderate position to take on the matter of racism, no meeting in the middle with those who want to uphold racist institutions or systems. Moderate behavior comes off as weak tea inaction in order to restore an unsatisfactory status quo. Both sides should have polarized views pointed towards anti-racism, it should not even be something on the table that needs to be bargained for, but that's not the case.

MLK Jr was not a moderate, and had problems with their ineffectiveness.

THANK YOU for giving us Selenium. When I first ran my script and saw the browser pop up start "running on it's own," I was pretty wowed.
It definitely is a variation of that belief. Could you elaborate on why it is mistaken?

I think:
1. Whether something is valuable can only be discovered if you try to set a price and sell it. Until then, you can not know.
2. LinkedIn has big part of it's business selling 'InMail' at around 2$ per piece. So clearly some people's attention is so important that strangers do pay money to send them mail.
Why would the EU complain about Trump ending the brain drain?

It's a good decision by Trump. It benefits American workers and non-American nations. Win/win.

The losers are the Gates and Bezos who are already extremely wealthy. I will find have to find a source but I think there is a gap between the share of profits captured by IT workers vs banking workers in the US, and those are industries with equivalent levels of workforce education and capital intensity.

All of the uncertainty around COVID-19 means that we'll build whatever complex models we want, but then just stare blankly and wonder how the hell to choose values for various coefficients.

You can drive the suggested analysis here as far as you want, but ultimately, you will lift your head and realize it's all useless for actual policy making wrt COVID-19.

The ultimate answer is that there is no ultimate answer. Abstract mathematical modeling for these sorts of questions is therefore mostly useless. Useful answers come from going in and dealing with lots of messy particularities in a very messy reality.

I like to think that this problem with quantitative rationality, where you build a model about one thing and get a very precise answer, but then realize your answer is really just another question, is exactly what's being alluded to in "42".

(e: moved this sentence to the bottom of my comment because it seems to be causing some distracting hostility: "This sort of thought process is exactly how you go about convincing a wise person to just give up on the whole hard core rationality project. It's an unintentional strawman.")
By the time US fab is built it will be old tech. TSMC will never let the latest get out of taiwan.
Making an ASIC with pedestrian low speed IOs is easy. Making an ASIC with high speed SERDES IOs that are required for PCIe is hard.

Also, AHA has a followup product that doubles the performance by dropping 4 ASICs and 1 FPGA on a board instead of 2 ASICs. So modularity is a factor as well.

But I think the first point is very likely the reason.
There are a lot of valid criticisms of skilled labor visas in the United States.

But you also can’t ignore the population growth problems that would exist in this country without immigration. We would be Japan.

And the entire suburban growth Ponzi scheme that every post-1890s American city suffers from will be exacerbated by shutting off not just immigration but immigration of skilled labor.

How many countries would dream of educated people flocking to live in their country?

Unfortunately the whole discussion seems like one big digression. No matter which angle you approach this at, it’s just bad policies all around. You’d think that a policy built on training the vast US citizen population with better, more equitable education would be better than importing foreigners. You’d think that lowering the cost of education would help, that companies would prefer a large supply of educated citizens.

The problem is, all that thinking naively assumes our policymakers and the donor class don’t hold active disdain for their own constituents: because an H1B worker is a worker with no leverage and worse ability to quit.

If you read this whole comment and are confused at what position I’m trying to take, you’re not alone. I don’t even know anymore.
> It looks like the OrangePi 4B includes ones of these chips on board?

Yes, it has a 2801S.

And the SolidRun Hummingboard Ripple has a 2803S. Seems a little pricy compared to a Raspberry Pi 4 + USB PLAI Plug 2803, but maybe worth it if you can actually get the software...(and I don't think they just give you one download that supports both models)

... unfortunately, DOTS is a) a dumpster fire and b) not going to hit 1.0 in 2020, or I guess, 2021 at this point.

The totally broken and unstable API and utter inability of the team to use their own package manager has left me with zero confidence in their ability to deliver a meaningful product with DOTS.

I don't dislike Dragon Fruit but having had 30 or so of them in SE Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan) I've never had one that was "extremely sweet". All of them were relatively on the bland every place I had one. It's good to know they can be sweet but I'm curious why finding a sweet one is so rare.

As for the seeds I agree. It's like eating kiwi seeds.

Mangosteen is great! No idea why the author had so much hate.

Durian though ... well I've tried it about 7-8 times and I get that it "tastes" good but I still don't get it. For example in Singapore there is a chain of cream puff stores that carry durian and vanilla cream puffs. To my "unrefined" palette they taste 95% the same but one stinks so if I was to go again I'd choose the vanilla that doesn't stink vs the durian that does. I'm sure I'll try them again but I suspect my reaction will be the same. Tastes fine (like vanilla custard) but why put up with the stink when I can just have vanilla custard.

That said, last summer when I was in Malaysia was the first time the smell started not being so repelling so (a) I'm getting used to it (b) they were in season (c) like the cat virus they've reprogramed my brain :P
It holds on the assumption of preventative power from those capabilities. Communicable diseases are a good example of a context - if everyone was treated for say tuberculosis with increased capacity then the number of cases would stay down vs just 'stabilizing" the numbers. See nuclear weaponry for an example of declining use.

Deterrence and deescalation are where predictive policing could theoretically be useful but in practice it is often just bias laundering or reinforcing their tautologies. Looking at the "wrong side of the tracks" more and the arrest rates will climb there even if crime is actually lower there - let alone confounding variables. Like say the police being called in domestic disputes by witnesses in thin walled apartments and trailer parks but not in large fenced estates even if they are just as loud and violent because they weren't literally heard.

I've never really used their search in general, can't comment on it. I feel like most "piece part" searches are pretty terrible. I would just use Digikey and slowly set all the filters you asked for. Every other "pretty" tool (Octopart, SandSquid, SupplyFrame, it goes on and on) still doesn't help me too much with design exploration.

However, I have used their libraries many times over and they are absolutely not terrible. Altium's IPC generator is nice, but that's only for at the office. Personal stuff at home? SnapEDA + Kicad makes my personal projects actual projects and not just lessons in database management. I spent like 20-30% of my time just making symbols and footprints. That's not the actual fun or interesting design work, it's just the boring stuff in between. Very glad SnapEDA gets rid of that tedious step for me.
Besides FLOP/Watt what's also very interesting here is the FLOP/Byte ratio (memory bandwidth). It has kept the same balance as K computer, i.e. is geared at scientific workloads and not just benchmarks (duh, just worth pointing out here as it makes this machine quite special especially compared to Xeon based clusters - Intel IMO has dropped the ball on bandwidth since the last 5 years or so).

> On most Linux I can rm -rf / all day long and nobody cares.

So let me turn this around: Why do you think a system that doesn't make it difficult to completely destroy it with one command is a bad idea? "It's my system, I should be able to do whatever I like" is an answer, to be sure.

(N.B.: in fact, "rm -rf /" won't work without "--no-preserve-root" in most Linux distributions, AFAIK, and I presume sudo.)

I don't think Lebron rolls out of bed in the morning for anything less than 10k. This is just beneath him, frankly.

Think of it this way. To rake in 4 million, Lebron would need to do two thousand (!) Cameo videos, each costing $2,000.

Or he could just sign on the dotted line for some hotel in Abu Dhabi that his agent brings him, show up at a shoot, agree to let them use his name and likeness, maybe show up at an event, and make that much in a week.

And he can lock down the terms of the contract - he doesn't have to worry about 1 of those 2000 customers trying to get get $4,000,000 of endorsement value out of it.

Past a certain point, this becomes a dumb deal. If you're A list there's not enough money, and too much reputational risk.
Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer
Someone close to me was just diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer which extended to the liver.

Wondering if folks on HN might have references to some of the latest advances in the treatment of this troublesome kind of cancer. An internet search yields lots of links but it is difficult to understand which are worth drilling down into.

Hoping people on HN with experience in the domain might be able to offer guidance. The objective is to present her doctor with information she might not be aware of (can't assume everyone is up to date with the latest research, tools, trials, etc.).

Thanks.
Had a similar discussion with a tech company that was outsourcing to fairly competent developers that I figured were sandbagging because the defect rate was so high that it didnt make sense.

I talked to the director who was in charge of this and brought to light the impact on the customer base.

The response? We were paying devs on the order of 10% of what we would pay in the united states, and if they padded it to 3x it still would save us an insane amount of money.

There's nothing wrong with outsourcing per-se, but its lovely when the actual "we dont care about the customer's result" comes out of someone's mouth.

IT managers are conservative, if they make a bad call, they have to support crap equipment for the next 5+ years or so. Yes, I'm aware Apple's CPUs are in the iPhone and iPad, but it's a huge change for the Mac and it's a big risk for people making those purchase decisions.
