The video capture part should work, but I don't believe they support USB OTG, so they wouldn't be able to impersonate the keyboard.

The official documentation[0] says all Pi devices have USB OTG, but I'm not sure if there's something else about the Pi 4 and Pi Zero W that allows USB gadget mode because I've never found anyone talking about using it before recent generations of Pi. This StackExchange answer says the A and the A+ had it, but that the 2 doesn't.[1]

If ARM is so important, surely the government would give consideration to have an American company own it.

I am surprised that Intel in not in talks as a bidder.
Isn't this just what you would expect a company of this size to do?

"We want to launch a product in category X"

"Ok, should we roll it ourselves, or buy something?"

"Well, let's interview a few companies, see if there's any we like, and if not, we'll make it ourselves"
Funny... I have software that combines well with something that has an online app store. They've been begging me to put my stuff in there. Nothing doing, I seen how you guys have embraced and extinguished others. They just took out their biggest app on the app store with their own version.
iOS and Android Outlook aren't actually Outlook. They are Accompli. Desktop Outlook leaves much to be desired nowadays.

And yes, my wife is an accountant, so Excel is mandatory for her. She _can_ do most of what she does in Sheets, but Sheets lack integration with the various backends that grew over the years.
I believe they implemented panels inside the browser window that force the window size to be different reported values.
This doesn't seem to be a function of Chrome, but of your default search engine. If I set my search engine to Google, I get the same results as you did. But if I set it back to DuckDuckGo, I get:

Buzzfeed / Burger King / Buy Buy Baby / ...

...without the icons.

If I just type "b" with DuckDuckGo set as Chrome's search engine, the top result is "bing", which I can't imagine is something that Google wants me to see.

So it seems that Chrome is just returning the top few results returned by whatever search engine you've configured.
Do you think it was a mistake for countries to continue compiling databases of citizens after WWII? Census? Phone books? These are all mistakes?
50 miles. Hmmm. Now, that's a test I can pass on a bicycle.

Joking aside, we were ready to go all-in this year with electrics. I even installed an oversize solar array in order to be able to solar-charge at least two vehicles.

And then the fires happened here in California. This changed my mind.

What became brutally apparent during the fires was that the fuel/energy infrastructure comparison between liquid and electric energy isn't even a comparison. People had all kinds of problems when their standard 30 to 50 mile commutes turned into 300 mile commutes. The charging network simply wasn't ready and, if I remember correctly, power outages caused additional issues.

The fact that gas stations exist pretty much at every freeway exit is a massive strategic advantage during an emergency.

One mental tool that came to mind was to imagine that we had to evacuate and we had two vehicles in front of the house: An electric Suburban-like SUV and the electic powered version of exactly the same vehicle. Which keys would I take?

The answer was simple; I would leave the electric behind.

Another interesting data point is that, due to the pandemic, we've had a couple of cars almost parked 100% of the time for since, say, March. Let's put it this way, last time I went to drive my little sports car it had spider webs between the tires and the ground. I've never seen that before.

Without constant charging this would be a massive problem for electrics. It hasn't been an issue with our IG cars, although, yes, there's a practical limit to how long gasoline can be stored without consequences.

Frankly, I don't know what it will take to spin my head back around. I absolutely do want electric vehicles in the future, and that future was going to be 2021 or 2022. Now that timeline is pushed to until such time as the infrastructure and practical realities of running electric cars become equivalent.

This is also why I believe the future of electrics has to lie in some kind of a liquid-based battery charge technology rather than conventional charging. In other words, you would pump a liquid into your battery pack in 5 minutes rather than electrons.

There's a question about whether or not the electrical grid could handle having tens of millions of electric vehicles charging at one time. I haven't done any math on this, which means it is hard to have a valid opinion. Gut feeling? I am not sure we can support mass adoption of electrics.

This echoes the distrust felt by many Amazon Marketplace sellers that drives them to seek alternatives like Shopify.
You see people trying to use it that way, while wading through a morass of paid advertising and promoted memes. I can use a brick as a hammer, too, but that doesn't make the brick a hammer.
>The apps are indeed faster and provide better user experience

This is a major reason. Another is access to the features of your mobile device, such as location, AR Engine, camera, push notifications, etc.
A wide coalition must form: every single OEM acquiring ARM will reduce its value. BTW Apple won’t let Nvidia control a central part of its Long term hardware strategy.
Being new doesn't mean you can't try to do things. If the OP takes that perspective then they're just limiting their own potential.

Code is code, and can be changed. There's this weird inhibition in our industry to just trying things.

Senior or not, there's no harm in opening a PR. If there's a clear reason for not applying a change it's just a learning exercise. The PR can be closed without any negative impact.

Who knows, maybe discussing the PR will be teach the senior contributor something. I can't tell you how many times I've realized a prior constraint is no longer valid via a discussion o'er a PR. I end up informed, the new contributor ends up empowered and the code base lands in a better state -- win, win and win!

IMO these types of changes and the resulting discussions are healthy and absolutely crucial to the longevity of a successful piece of software.
Sounds like I should do a podcast, thank you, I will seriously consider it. I think Bach is one of the funniest and most entertaining people I can remember listening to, as he's one of the few examples I know of who could meet the definition of a stand-up philosopher.

My ideal first episode would have Bach and Daniel Dennett together talking about whether or not they have dogs, and what they might perceive that relationship to be like, given their respective views of consciousness and language, and what their dogs might think of them.
It's literally 10x more effective to release a half-baked but "new" piece of crap for promotion purposes. You'd have to move heaven and earth to get the same amount of career velocity out of incremental improvements.

Off Topic: The URL clearly suggests your link was posted last year (and I'm sure I've read it before), but the inline article "date" is Jul 9th 2020.
The number of units Apple sells with ARM designs inside (all devices - desktops, laptops, tablets, phones, and more) are dwarfed in comparison to the ARM ecosystem at large. ARM isn't dependent on Apple for anything really.

Even your toaster and fridge probably have ARM licensed designs in them. Your Smartwatch certainly does, and the billions of non-Apple smartphones too.

> Chinese lead by Huawei are forced by US sanctions also to create their own design

Pretty sure they were heading that way even without US sanctions. Steal the IP, then make a competing product while paying zero licensing fees to ARM.
It's not certain but it is a big risk. Nobody wants to be spending time and money on doing a deal when there's a high risk it'll be blocked at the final hurdle.
It's a terrible waste of time if you can find a good alternative. Luckily Elm-UI is exactly that.

Edit: of course it's worthwhile to learn enough CSS to understand more or less what it does since it's so pervasive. I mean that using it as the main way to lay out pages is a frustrating experience in many cases.
Interesting. In some way, in hindsight, I believe the internet might also be responsible for the downfall of the profession. Remember the "Top Models" of the 90s and that this is less common today

In some way, the demand for modelling has probably gone up, but it's more long tailed. The internet also allowed for more "democracy" in this area and less gatekeeping

The different tastes and long-tailed nature probably contributed to less emphasis on "top models"/attention being focused on a sole person and/or mainstream beauty standards

Thanks! Built in Python/Flask to scrape IPOs and pull the financial docs from the SEC. A few cron jobs make it all work. I wanted to get this out quickly and didn't want to deal with building auth/payment infra, so I actually used Memberstack for that piece. It's extremely easy to use.

Let me know if you have any more questions
It's already here.

See Marvelous Designer[1] and CLO[2]. These are CAD programs for designing clothes. They make both a 3D model for viewing and patterns for cutting and sewing. When design moves to CAD, the designer already has a 3D model before the clothing is made. So, for catalog photos, there's no need for human models.

Mostly. Those two companies need better hair shaders.

> You ever work with an FPGA? The programming model and the tooling are a huge part of the problem.

I'd argue FPGAs aren't programmed and don't have a programming model. Complaints that the programming model of FPGAs holds their adoption back are thus conceptually ill-founded. (The tooling still sucks).
I think anyone can learn...but the discovery of truth can be extremely scary and painful...and I don't think most people want to face REAL reality even if its more truthful and data based.

An easy narrative is much happier and easier to digest do people will choose that over truth.

I think religius narratives came about specifically to deal with the reality of pain, the unknown, and death.
Why exactly does one need to license an ISA? AMD doesn't license x86 from Intel, AFAIK.

What's the IP that Apple would otherwise be infringing upon if they didn't license? The "ARM" trademark?

True, but it's also true that "embedded stuff" will be the first market to fall to RISC-V chipmakers, in classic innovator's dilemma fashion.

Western Digital for instance already announced since last year that it will use RISC-V chips for its drives. Nvidia also announced that it will use a RISC-V controller for its GPUs.
just Mullvad but supports Mozilla. I'd choose Mozilla VPN for that reason. Or will, when they have Linux support.
TUBA, which used existing technology and tools to support 18-20 byte addresses (yes, byte, not bit) was ready and implemented on two different platforms by ~1991.
Discussions around responsibly applying probabilistic models to decision making at a societal level are really important to have.

Myth-making about ML as a shadowy conspiracy—instead of just another tool for engineering, like databases—is counter-productive.

The "main use case" for ML is the literal one, "designing models that can learn to predict high probability outcomes in situations where a deterministic model cannot be applied." It is another technology in an engineer's toolkit. Look at your smartphone, and you will see that the majority of apps you use rely on machine learning for ETA prediction, content recommendation, speech-to-text, image processing, translation, spam filtering, etc.

This isn't really newsworthy, but I'm bringing it up because I'm very concerned about ethics in pricing when dealing with non-technical clients.

But they do get to see them, they usually just don't notice them. Almost everyone in the developed world has a supercomputer in their pocket that acts as a flashlight and a video camera as well! Modern cars are far safer than old cars. They're faster than horses too. A modern combine harvester does the work of many people, which makes food much cheaper.

There are untold small and big improvements like that that we just take for granted. GDP per capita roughly doubles in 20 years. That's the combination of all of these small and big improvements added up on a societal scale. Before industrialization it could take over 1000 years to see a similar level of improvement in the life of an average person.

My grandparents had no running water. They would wash in a sauna with water from a pond or well. Famines were common at that time. People still mostly used horses for transport. Roads were not paved. Clothing was mostly self-made. Televisions didn't even exist yet. Radios were for well-off families. Compare that to today in a developed country.

This rampant non-stop technological advancement is what's making life better. It's just hard to notice if you don't think about it.
My previous company was acquired by Google and I totally agree with assessment. Immense respect for Google's investing, corp dev and legal arms in as much as I interacted with them. They always treated us fairly and were ethical in their interactions.
This isn't an area I know anything about but I really enjoyed your write-up (I still don't know what KVM stands for! But I get that you wanted to act as a physical keyboard and display over IP). From a quick skim of your site it looks like you've worked at large companies and now are doing some independent projects. Do you think you'll go back to working for a company (perhaps a smaller one?), or do you see yourself working independently for many years? I ask because (a) I'm also casting about at a similar point in my career doing independent projects, but (b) I've never worked at a truly large company, and (c) (someone like) you seem(s) like you'd be a great colleague to work with, and (d) my vague ambition is to work for a small company with skilled colleagues that I can learn from and to work on "technical" projects as opposed to product development but (e) I guess, when I see talented people such as yourself apparently rejecting the conventional job market, I partly infer that they've looked at what's on offer and declined and thus that I'm deluding myself in thinking that I'll find something in the conventional job market that I really want.
SF and NYC are two of the most regulated and taxed cities, so probably safe to say the are on the high side. I'm in Ohio, internet is around $50/month, could be cheaper if I wanted less bandwidth
Generally high chances you'll get better connection with any LTE network, as having only v6 to the mobile terminal (phone/modem) is much cheaper - which drove v6 adoption heavily.

I have a very distinct memory of a graphical BBS that ran on the Apple II in the late 80s. It's possible it only ran on the IIGS, but I don't think so. I think it used hires mode. My memory is that it was called gbbs, for graphical bbs.

There was something called Greg's BBS, but that's not what I'm referring to.

If such a thing ever existed, I can find no trace of it on the Internet. :-(
Just keep in mind that the major use case for ARM is embedded systems: washing machines, smart refrigerators, car electronics, barbecue thermometers, medical devices, lawn mowers, you get the idea. Mobile phone or computer companies would not be interested in dealing with that part of the business.

People with the Most Children
Why do so many people forget that they control their feed? Maybe less than some of us would like, but I carefully curate my feed and use mute and so on and my feed has very little junk in it. Mostly family stuff and jokes/memes, with some ads for stuff that actually does interest me. It's not hard. Most of us here solve harder problems every day.
You're correct that I overstated my case. I wasn't making a meaningful distinction between people who say the virus is fake, or not dangerous, or not wearing a mask, or not social distancing in a reasonable way.

Longevity, and Resets
I worked in an area where it is really hard to figure out exactly what workloads were being run and where it would have been extremely useful to know even basic things like CPU utilization patterns, network throughput patterns, etc for a specific customer.

We had access to absolutely none of that information. We flew blind, relying entirely on the fact that we gave our customers enough hand-holding support that they would willingly volunteer information about their workloads so we could help them optimize it/save money.

No one even attempted to get more detailed customer information AFAIK because it would have been extremely against company culture. That isn't Earning Trust or having Customer Obsession. The idea of reading data in someone's S3 bucket or inspecting what is happening inside of someone's EC2 instance in any way was unthinkable. Amazon is huge and imperfect, but from what I saw AWS takes data privacy extremely seriously.
I'll be coming back to this guide over and over again, I can already tell. Thanks for the fantastic advice.
A huge part of that is due to BSD Sockets, which require in-depth application support for any difference in connection parameters.
> This is the fallacy of modern tech-based capitalism and I hate it. The job that I enjoyed the least and where I also did the least amount of work was the best salary I ever had. The value that I added through that job was nominal at best.

I don't understand what point you're trying to make. There is no fallacy, only a collosal misconception. Salary is not, not ever was, a proxy for happiness. At most, it's a reflection of the employer's willingness and capacity to pay.

Of course a company that makes billions and wants to poach the best talent out there has the means and opportunity to pay a whole lot more than a small company with no viable business model that's burning through cash. Hell, boring institutional jobs on old banks and insurance companies pay handsomely, even though you might be required to wear a suit and tie to churn out that sweet sweet COBOL code.

Salary is not a fun index. Some industries pay more than others, and are more fun than others. This isn't news. Where is the need to spin this a capitalist conspiracy?
