Any Pi with just one USB port (zero, A, A+, 3A) is capable of USB gadget mode because there is no hub between the SOC and the port.

Those with multiple ports have a hub in between and are not capable of gadget mode.

The pi 4 is an exception, it is capable of gadget mode on its USB-C power input, not via the normal ports as there is a hub in between there too.
They would have switched anyway.

Apple is all about controlling all parts of their phone and software.

Now they have a well working ARM chip they have all the control over which is good enough for at least the non developer models of their laptops so it was just a question of time until they switch.

I mean why _long term_ maintain two OS'ses and two CPU archs when you can just focus one one. (And yes I'm convinced Apple will turn macOS into iOS+some desktop features in the long run).
Long ago I made the decision to live in a smaller house close to work. My company's office is 15 minutes by bike from my house. Riding through the cool air every morning was a great start to my day. The office is perched above a canal. As I worked, I'd watch the boats go by and the bascule bridge go up and down. It was a great life.

Now I'm working in windowless cinderblock closet in my basement. I live near family and friends so just uprooting to a mini-mansion in the country isn't really a workable option. Companies clearly valued nice offices as a quality of life benefit to their employees, but now providing that nice office experience is squarely on my shoulders.

If my partner and I are going to be working remotely for the long term we'll probably need to move to a bigger house that can give us both better work spaces, which will probably cost $200K-$300K more than our current home. $250K financed at 3% interest over 30 years is $1200/mo plus things like heat, maintenance, furnishings, etc.

I don't expect my company to pony up a $15K/year remote work stipend, but also I see this a WFH future as a net downgrade from my old way of life.
When kids go back to school some of the work from home conflicts will end, but kids still get home from school early afternoon, and schools typically only open 180 days a year - whereas most officeworking adults have to continue working into the late afternoon, and show up for about 240 days of the year. If you continue working from home after schools reopen, you're still going to have days like these lockdown times...
I wasn't calling for curtailing speech in any way, but instead mitigating out of control feedback loops that result from the public's way of disincentivizing undesirable speech, which is calling it out.

I don't want racist and white supremacists spreading their rhetoric, so I want societal pressure to continue to work as it does against those people. At the same time, I don't want merely unpopular opinions getting the full weight of societal pressure causing problems for people that merely want to discuss what are actually open questions.

Reducing this to simply a matter of free speech or not is missing the point. This is a matter of figuring out how to deal with the negative effects of free speech when we care enough about free speech that limiting it in some way is not on the table.

There are plenty of companies specially in tech sector that build and support products that are focused and used in multiple countries, and are quite successful. They have research and product teams that work to understand the target market/country/culture and build products for the target audience. Why would it not be possible to do it the other way around?
EU bank cards will mostly allow free withdrawals across Europe (with some strange exceptions). Some countries like Belgium have fully prohibited national banks from charging customers of rival banks. It's not a technical/financial issue, it's a policy choice...

> I know how to program, I've been bitten by memory bugs - rust's design makes sense to me (i.e. the borrow checker is relatively intuitive because I've written and worked on compiler/s). That is difficult to convey in 10 minutes to someone who only knows how to plot a graph in python (for example).

I think you're getting at an important issue here. I've been programming (as a hobbyist, not a professional) for over a decade, have contributed to a bunch of open source projects, written software of my own. Mostly in languages like Python, but I've dabbled with C, Rust, etc. The stuff about lifetimes in this guide is still borderline incomprehensible to me. The reason for that is that the basic issue here isn't the difficulty of the language used to describe the concept, but that the concept itself is complicated. Maybe it needs to be complicated, but I don't think there's any way to distract from the fact that Rust is a very hard language to learn.

One account, @Ian56789, was sending 100 posts a day during a 12-day period from 7 April, and reached 23 million users, before the account was suspended. It focused on claims that the chemical weapons attack on Douma had been falsified, using the hashtag #falseflag. Another account, @Partisangirl, reached 61 million users with 2,300 posts over the same 12-day period.

Don't forget that AMD has a vested interest in keeping x86 alive as well. it's not just Intel. So it's not like x86 is stuck in the mud because of Intel's situation.
In this plan people would get tested again on the next day and the day after that and the day after that.

If you don't catch them on the very first day they have enough virus in their body to be above the test threshold, then you'll probably catch them in the next day or two anyway. Also, positive results can be verified with more reliable tests, if you want... or you could just retest with the same test some more, with every consistent result raising one's confidence in the test.

The TWiV episode goes in to detail about how if the goal is reducing the spread of the virus on a population level, then we only really care about a narrow window of infectivity, not about when people are infected but don't yet have enough virus to infect others. The cheap, quick tests they're talking about are good enough for this purpose.
The truly steel-man assessment of the President's statement of "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" is that he meant it empirically, not normatively -- describing what inevitably occurs in an environment of sustained looting (shootings committed by people guarding property, looters, and law enforcement).

If you want to be extra charitable, he possibly made that statement empirically to describe a tragic situation he wanted to prevent entirely by dispersing protests early. Such a justification and reasoning would be very authoritarian and is arguably wrong in efficacy, but that interpretation does not involve an indirect or direct threat of shooting.

My grandmother (an English teacher) once castigated email and predicted it would condition people at all levels to not be precise in language, and warned of how communications and ideas would degrade as a result. As a young nerd I thought that was absurd and the opposite would be true, but now seeing Twitter I have changed my mind.

Is there anything related to outputting a static font from a variable font + config?

I'm genuinely curious - would you be so kind to share what kind of coding do you do, and for how long have you been doing it, when you can code for 12 hours not needing to look up how to do something online (syntax, example for a best way to approach something etc)? I'm asking because this is one of my worst fears - how genuine of a senior, experienced developer am I, if I probably wouldn't be able to do 2 good hours of progress without the internet...
I feel like this could also be a tool for friends or cofounders. I'm not sure I see it as really that advantageous in a work setting (aside from cofounders who tend to chat and have that kind of social enthusiasm often), but that's just my personal opinion.

My family is my most sympathetic audience. Also, my closest friends understand me well and accept who I am.

However, I have tons of friends apart from the groups mentioned above; people that I appreciate, whom I have met through different hobbies or passions. None of these bonds have a connection to politics, but it is common for some of them to bring up political topics during these months. I reserve my opinions on these topics because I understand that there are a lot of emotions involved. Moreover, we all have biases. We are not at war, we just digress on the solutions the country needs.
I follow along in /r/realestate and it seems that part of the motivation for this behavior is that the owners are usually leveraged - they don't own the property outright, or if they do, they have taken a loan against the property. If they lower rents, it impacts the valuation more than staying vacant and waiting for a new tenant, which in turn has implications on the loan & ability to obtain loans in the future.
Interestingly, you can clearly see the effect of the pandemic if you zoom into this year. The swing between access from IPv4-leaning business networks during the week to more IPv6-leaning home/mobile networks on the weekends has greatly reduced.

How is that confidential information if it's hosted on their own servers?
Why would they be free? Before the ATM we had to go to the bank Friday afternoon or Saturday morning (9-12 only) to get money after pay day. If you couldn't wait in the big-ass line, or if you just had something else to do, then you just didn't have any money! It was ridiculous! The ATM brought revolutionary convenience. You could get twenty bucks at 11pm if you wanted to.
Not the parent commenter, but I'd consider that to be a key part of democracy, the right of political association. I'd consider firing someone for belonging to a particular political party the exact moral equivalent of firing someone for belonging to a particular religious denomination or ethnic group.

As far as I know, in USA the employment discrimination laws draw a distinction between these classes (ethnicity and religion are protected classes, politics is not), however, my local laws and my personal moral compass puts them in the same basket; I'd consider someone being fired because they're, for example, a card-carrying member of the local radical communist party to be equivalent of firing someone because they're Jehovah’s Witness or have sexual practices of which the local church disapproves. They should be able to run as a candidate for that party in some elections while not having their employment threatened for that - this is needed to prevent e.g. the owner of a town-dominating factory from suppressing political opposition to the current elected town officials.
The North of England has some good examples of the opposite. The Leeds/Bradford/Halifax/Huddersfield area is - was - gentrifying rapidly with an obvious shift away from the ruins of heavy industry to art/craft projects and enterprises of all sizes. The Calder Valley is almost notorious for it. There's also Salts Mill near Shipley, which is a carefully authenticised artisanal mall in an old converted mill.

And you'll find plenty of web/creative agencies plying their trade in the area, although that sector isn't quite as distinctive as in - say - Manchester.

It's all part of the standard gentrification cycle: - collapse -> bohemian -> artisanal -> gentrified -> investment grade -> collapse... but hurried along some.
> Also, for many people it's vital to have a) a workspace that isn't your home;

This is easy to forget when you don't have any children at home. Many parents with young children at home are struggling with the work from home situation.

Even among people without kids at home, having a dedicated office space can make a huge difference. When I managed remote teams, the people who carved out dedicated office spaces for themselves always seemed to do better than those who tried to work where they also played video games, for example. It's important to be able to context shift into and out of work mode.

Going into a physical office is the biggest context shift, but even at home you can create this context shift by having a dedicated work space. It doesn't have to be big or even permanent, but it's helpful to have some spacial cues that you're in work mode vs. home mode.
Probably ë and not ö
This exactly. Now I have to deal with push notifications all day long everytime someone is alone in the room. Can you imagine if everytime someone was alone in the office you got a notification.
RIM/Blackberry's best quarters happened after the iPhone launch.

Unclear if Intel is following that path.
Half corruption, but the surface argument is:

Companies want stability. If my plan is to raise $2 billion with an IPO, I want to be able to build a business knowing that money is coming in. With an auction, I wouldn't know how much money will come in. It might be $4 billion, or it might be $500 million.

The current structure has a financial intermediary who charges a premium to take the risk of a price DROP for me. I can shop around for who will give me the best price, and once I've got that locked in, I know my $2 billion will come in, and I can start building my engineering, marketing, etc. with the stability of a guaranteed check in the bank.

That stability is worth more than the premium.

For the last few years I've had a joke that there is a law that every Goodwill store is required to have a copy of Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey, Hunger Games, and/or Left Behind.

What's great about Rails ? Serious question from someone who landed into a mature Rails app and is now decidedly running away from that ecosystem after a year working in it.

Rails looks like an early take on MVC that was setup around fast project creation and encourages unmaintainable code - concerns are straight out retarded (a design pattern that encourages breaking encapsulation and makes dependencies impossible to trace) and fat models encourage coupling things that don't need to be coupled.

Then there's Ruby which in my opinion goes against Zen of Python which I'm a fan of - aliases all over the place for same thing, pointless name shortening and stuff to sacrifice readability, rails breaking conventions of standard library...

In the context of when it got popular I understand why it got the hype - replacing the PHP SQL in views garbage and Java 6 verbosity with XML configure everything, and the horrible ASP monstrosity.

These days I'd take Python as a more popular language, that I would say is better designed and has far better Windows support.

NPM/TypeScript and structural static typing is getting really good as well but is not as mature - but code sharing between client and server is a real thing.

Go emerged since the time of Rails hype.

.NET and JVM languages and frameworks got a lot better and scale far better with big code bases.

I don't really see where Rails is great compared to alternatives, it feels like legacy at this point.
I'm not saying you can't write good maintainable apps in Rails either - I'm just saying other frameworks and languages will make it easier IMO.
What is your response to the paradox of tolerance?
You don't really need a lot of kinetic energy, it's not like satellites are armored. I'd think a pretty small kinetic energy, like a rifle bullet, would do it (depending on where it hit, obviously.) The trick is delivering that small kinetic energy...

It appears that the study was considering the shuttle's ability to glide while re-entering. They were afraid a shuttle could launch from Vandenberg and do a maneuver similar to the shuttle's once-around abort and approach the USSR from the south (most of their early-warning systems were facing north) and possibly even return home afterwards.

It's a cute theory but you should be skeptical of the claim that this study was the motivation for the Soviet shuttle program.
I live in California. My preferred candidates win the vote almost 100% of the time no matter if I vote or not.

When something becomes incredibly cheap to produce, it also becomes incredibly cheap for consumers. The ditch diggers had to find new jobs, but now pretty much every house in the developed world has running water, electricity and increasingly internet connectivity, resulting for an increased quality of life for everybody.

They'll have the data centres for awhile but when you only have a few customers buying huge volume they will eventually use their buying power to shrink your margins down to nothing. Silicon is due to become a commodity anyway within a decade because of the end of Moore's law.

I reached that conclusion at the start of the coronavirus lockdown; that the managers who resisted letting us work remotely were consoling themselves at the outsourcing experiment they were conducting.

Trumpism has 40% of the electorate in any western country. Add in the masses of disillusioned white collar workers, and populism will be the natural political position of every Western country (therefore joining the rest of the world)

Interesting, because my pre-COVID experience managing remote teams was just the opposite.

The toxic people were much more likely to play politics or manipulate people when they were just a screen name in Slack than when it was Jim from down the hall with a wife and two kids. The office politicians were always hiding away in private Slack channels or even separate invite-only Discords that they created for the in-group to talk separately from the rest of the company.

In fact, one of the quickest ways to defuse politics and toxicities was to fly everyone to a location for a few days of meetings. The context didn't matter so much as just getting people in the same room.

It's the same phenomenon that drives people to be friendly and civil in person, but then tear each other apart on Facebook or Next Door. In person communication is more human.
Same here - I don't have a separate room for work (never needed it) and have 2 pre-school kids at home. Average period without interruption: 10 minutes. I do so little "real" work during the day, that I need 4-5 hours at night to catch up...My wife doesn't work for a longer time now, so there's not a lot of understanding from her side - if I complain, I'm considered a drama queen and I only care about work...If this keeps up, I'll have to rent another small apartment or find another solution.
