Crowd Supply has an endless variety of hobbyist-friendly variously FPGA / USB / MCU / PCIE / SDR combination boards.

It's ridiculous for anybody to insist that programming an FPGA isn't writing software. By definition, anything you can put in a text file that ends up controlling what some piece of hardware does is software. Probably almost all of what is wrong with FPGA ecosystems comes from failure to treat it like software.

It's not much like your typical C program, but that's a very parochial viewpoint. The languages available to program FPGAs in are abysmal, a poor match to the hardware: actually too much like ordinary programming languages, to their detriment. A person who makes an FPGA do something is going to be an engineer, and to an engineer any microprocessor and any FPGA are just two different state machines. Somebody who studied "computer science" will be disoriented, but that is just because the field has narrowed, as network effects pared down the field of computing substrates until practically nothing is left.

FPGAs emulating ASICs or von Neumann CPUs is the greatest waste of potential anywhere. If the architecture of (some) FPGAs could be elucidated, it could fuel a renaissance of programming formalisms. We could begin program them in a language actually well-suited to the task, and vary their configuration in real time according to the instantaneous task at hand.

The linked CC licence states (and it appears to be confirmed that this is the licence that applies[1]):

> If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author [...]; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work; and (iv) , consistent with Section 3(b), in the case of an Adaptation, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). The credit required by this Section 4 (b) may be implemented in any reasonable manner

As the licence states that attribution must be reasonable to the medium and in any reasonable manner, having the attribution details on an information page would appear to be acceptable - the CC wiki[2] and FAQ[3] seem to support this:

> There is no one right way; just make sure your attribution is reasonable and suited to the medium you're working with. That being said, you still have to include attribution requirements somehow, even if it's just a link to an About page that has that info.[2]

> Additionally, you may satisfy the attribution requirement by providing a link to a place where the attribution information may be found.[3]

This is also made explicit in version 4.0 of the licence[4]:

> For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the required information.

Regarding removing the watermark, it does not appear to be a copyright notice, so the right to do so would seem to be implied by the right to make adaptions.

Berwyn and Cicero weren't directly impacted by the Eisenhower (although Oak Park was—something that the local populace still resents which is evidenced by the fact that the exits for the Ike (much to my wife's confusion, I-290 goes by multiple names) exist only on the borders of the village and are the only left-side exits for the entirety of the Congress Expressway's (like I said...) run). More impactful was perhaps the replacement of streetcar lines with buses and the shortening of the Douglas Park "L" to end at 54th instead of its former terminus at Oak Park Avenue. Stickney, just south of Berwyn and Cicero, was still semi-rural into the 50s when my parents' house was built and, although it has had bus service from West Towns Bus Company (now Pace), it was never not a place where cars were essential (I suppose in its pre-incorporation days and first decade, one could have gotten by with a horse and wagon). This is not a Greenwich Village situation.

I mentioned housewives walking to the neighborhood store to do shopping because this was an aspect of the local culture that persisted into the 70s and early 80s. Most had their own little carts for hauling home their groceries (similar to these https://www.amazon.com/customerpicks/Explore-grocery-carts-f... it's interesting to see that these are still sold, although I've not seen one in use for 30 years or so).

The judgement only allows the cops to prosecute arson and gun theft based on the evidence, which doesn't add up with dragnet fishing.

The rest is non sequitur.

I agree. I take little breaks during the day, toss in some laundry, take a short break on the patio, etc. The flexibility is great. And no commute.

But I'm not sure how I will like it when the world gets back to normal and the family is gone. Right now I have my two elementary age kids and my wife at home, so I'm not lonely at all. In the past I found that spending day after day in a completely empty house was a sure ticket to loneliness. Maybe that'll change this time, but I'm not counting on it.
Eh, I hate the city myself but people love Houston. Seems like 0 zoning isn't really an appreciable problem.

With all due respect, a Facebook person's thoughts on validating a startup idea are pretty much irrelevant.

Whatever thing you are building at Facebook starts out with 10 hurricanes of wind behind it.

Startups begin with all the wind of a baby blowing a raspberry.
I think you’re underestimating how horrible the internet can be. Just go read some 4chan to see what no filter looks like.
Well that and what kind of visibility and process and oversight do we have into this process that the police will truly stay within the judges confinements.

I mean let's be honest. They are going to feed it into facial recognition, identify their targets and then gather whatever additional evidence. They could then potentially present a new case with evidence external to the data collection and construct a narrative around that.

I think it's slippery.

It seems like supercomputers are still generally many times more powerful than what AI researchers at top universities or orgs are using.

Has any well known AI research been done on supercomputers?

Have any self-published authors complained about their book's presence on IA? Has anyone shown (or seems likely to show) material harm? AFAIK IA has legal, physical copies which they scan for digital lending. If that is not the case, and they will serve any random ebook, I would like to know because it would definitely shift my opinion.
Interestingly, in the area of Iowa and Minnesota where I grew up, where a lot of the towns were founded just after the Civil War, the shops on main street were mostly brick storefront on the ground level, with residence above. Very few shop owners live in the apartment these days, for more than the last 50 years the apartments were rented out, usually quite cheaply.

I did have one friend that ran a shop and lived above -- it seemed great -- but he owned the building and had done a lot of modernizing of the apartment. It doesn't fit the suburban dream, though. No yard -- the green space for my friend was the county court house square across main street from his shop.
> when white men rise up against oppression, they are heroes

Except most of the "peaceful protestors" are white.

One must be ignorant to claim that the Portland "protests" are peaceful, and not reasonably described as a riot. I've watched the youtube live streams, seen the extensive property damage, vandalism, and general aggressive nature of the anarchists torching the city.

It seems that the book you quote as scripture has it's own agenda to discredit ordinary language, while excusing the criminal behavior of many people.
this is very good observation I can confirm, in 90s we watched with my sister music videos and radio stations since tapes were quite expensive and CDs came later (and never really took off with me, almost everything pirated), so we listened almost everythjing in radio in 90s and watched music charts weekly even in TV to stay in picture.

though to be honest you could still be specialized, for instance I was quite a lot into EDM and you could listen almost every day (at least in Europe through 90s, especially in middle 90s) at least 1-2 hours just purely EDM shows, don't really remember other shows with focus on other genres

by end of 90s internet grew a lot, Winamp and MP3 were introduced plus songs through Napster, Direct Connect and I quickly turned away from radio and TV for most of my content and focused almost entirely on soundtracks while still listening to radio in work, still feel kinda nostalgic when thinking about our military dorm in beginning of 00s when we were listening every night in beds ballads like Hero from Iglesias to fall asleep

by the end of 00s I was either travelling or started to work in places without radio in background, so my knowledge of popular music after that dropped pretty much to 0, now you could play me anything from 2010< and unless it's megahits like Gangnam style I would have no clue whether it's popular unless I heard in shops or restaurants when passing by (and since I was out of western world for most of 10s part, good luck with western/US hits)

chart from article should clearly state it's American and I would like to see comparison between different continents, especially which western music would be recognizable in Asia, only then you know it's true global megahit

of course all of this is my personal observation and I'm sure it's also age thing with people having less time to listen the music and less focus on it as they age
I have 3 cards that don't cost me a Euro cent. 1 is debit, 1 is de facto debit because the credit limit is nominal so I cannot spend money that I don't have in my account. The 3rd one requires me to pay the bill 2 weeks after its issued to avoid (high) interest. But they are all free if used correctly.
The fact that deposits are insured has nothing to do with bank solvency. People just get some of the money back when the bank blows up. Arguably this makes banks to be even more reckless and to hide more dangerous risks under the deposit insurance claims.

And the function of the regulator is to stop and DISSOLVE the bank BEFORE it goes potentially too deep into the pocket of deposit insurance fund in case of running astray.
So this is a social instrument but again does not solve the institutional risk problem. Maybe, just maybe makes some banks more paranoid, but they still blow up at very high pace.
Last I checked protests don't involve destruction of property, arson, and murder.

I think this claim lost any validity long, long ago.
> For those who aren't aware, the reason for this is well-known: the average POC statistically leans right on all social issues except for race.

Blacks are the most supportive of abortion legality in most or all cases of any race other than Asians, so that's one issue that isn't race that Blacks lean to the left on.

This is about the time that people start to imply (or even say straight out) that their skills are really special, and that there aren't good developers outside the valley. So they totally deserve the rate they're being paid.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are actually quite a lot of smart people who just don't care to live in the valley for various reasons, and they are all just as available as you are when the whole team is 100% remote. Companies are going to love it, but a subset of employees are going to be sad as the market rate adjusts to the new reality.
It’s been shown again and again [1] that YouTube endlessly promoted conspiracy videos, fringe thinking, UFO “truth”, and other such garbage for wide swaths of its audience. They are a parasite on the way the algorithm works, feed by clicks.

It’s a bit like blaming the heroin addict who is offered it everywhere they go. Don’t blame the user when this is wide spread.

Of course the daunting obstacle is changing the mindset of suburban planners and nimbys. The zoning ordinances that have dominated planning in the USA since the 50's ban this in large swaths of America..

New Urbanism made progress creating denser planning in the last 30 years, but focused too much on high density mixed use. Adding small shops to residential streets is definitely the one area that they've really failed on in my opinion. It's the reason older towns and cities still trounce the 'burbs on walkability and will for a long time.

But while we're at it we should also think about other human-scale improvements, like narrow streets. Worth a read for anyone interested in retrofitting the suburbs: https://www.andrewalexanderprice.com/blog20130131.php#.Xxptm...

If you read the article, you'll find that the 'bias' was because Facebook used the same criteria for hate speech no matter who the target was. For example, if you substitute 'White' with 'Black', and it looks like hate speech, then the original version was also considered hate speech.

For comparison, at Google in 2011, I was one of ~10 or so engineers that had the ability to view private Gmail or Gplus data (access that was heavily documented and audited).

That being said, Google did have to go through it's own public humiliation [1] to put a system like that in place.

You'd be absolutely livid if you found out how your ancestors earned the right to a weekend and a 40 hour work week.
That's oversimplification. Good programmers care about their work, doesn't matter which language.

Also, use the right tool for the job.

A language that forces you to think about values rather than mutable objects, will produce higher quality code as the number of ways you can shoot yourself in the foot are drastically reduced.

Clojure will make you run your code constantly in the REPL. Paired with a dead-simple testing library, the desire to keep your majority of functions pure, it is not hard to see why Clojure code has higher quality.

do the privacy extensions (which I've heard of, but don't get at even a basic level) allow a little privacy in this scenario?
I can confirm. The one time I had some of the LEDs die is when I tried to hack a fan-less 150 W LED desk lamp together form 9W COBs thermal-epoxied to a trade fare showpiece from a Chinese streetlight/factory-downlight company, that they used for 200 W. But I had it upside-down and without a heat spreader layer, which I blame the LED's death on.

Other than that, I'm happy with a 100 W, 5 m long, 1800 K, 95 CRI strip with a 15~16 kHz PWM dimmer, and my collection of the high-power remote phosphor bulbs and my share of a box of pseudo-filament bulbs. We're looking at bi-color white+white (flexible CCT) strips on top of the cable trays, illuminating the ceiling, for our renovated hacker space.

For reference: YUJI's "normal" "BC" double-phosphor 95 CRI LEDs are about 1 USD/W, sold in packages typically worth 50~150 USD.
Generating LinkedIn Profile URLs for LinkedIn Data Scraping with Python
To have the image fill the entire available width, you really do need to crop from the top and bottom or else someone could put an image with a 1:1000 aspect ratio and scrolling through the tweet would take forever.

Not filling the available width would leave negative space -- similar to "black bars" -- on the sides of the image. You don't have to agree, but many people dislike such negative space and cropping is the solution.
Ask HN: Your way of researching random subjects?
I realize "Google should be pretty good". Type something in either get an extracted answer or first couple of links.

I just saw something about Section 230 and then I see FOSTA-SESTA(catchy name) and I want to get a summary/fast knowledge of this.

Wondering if anyone has their own setup... like a terminal you just type something into and boom get content summaries.

I've seen for example a summarizer API on RapidAPI. I guess it uses NLP or something. I still have to read something and compare the notes I take with the summaries it provides but it's interesting.

Other alternatives are hiring people to research for you.

Edit: I am more interested in if you wrote custom scrapers or have ways to batch your own info. Otherwise generally fast absorption of new knowledge. Not as deep as learning programming syntax but for example how some merger/news event might affect stocks or something like that.
Should HN be treated as the publisher of your comment?
I think this happens more often in places like San Francisco where the gains from investing in property is mostly appreciation and it's hard to get rid of a tenant. In this case it makes little sense to deal with the hassle of having a tenant who might live there for a very long time to potentially increase your returns by 2-3% per year.
Here are some I would like better:

1. Teach my kids how to become better at learning, and teach myself to minimize the urge to control them.

3. Marrying with the goal of supporting the spouse in their self-actualization, no matter what that might be. Buying things is seldom self-actualization, but a distraction from that.

6. Taking a degree which motivates you (love the process, not the goal - a degree takes too long to just push through)

I kind of, or absolutely agree, with the other ideas.

Some of parent‘s ideas rest on the idea of gaining control over the future or other people (not even little kids can or should be controlled perfectly), or goals that are so far off that it’s unclear that one would ever reach them. Goals that are far off AND specific are more influenced by external factors than one‘s own doing - which is the very definition of gambling.

I see. Very informative answer.

When I am working I only use one screen, and only one window in the screen, and instead I constantly switch between virtual desktops, to the point where I just think "browser", "editor", "terminal" without even perceiving the keystrokes.

However, for gaming I dream of having one of these ultrawide screens that have the resolution of 3 normal screens side by side. Something quite complicated to have in a laptop, but I have seen some attempts.

It was written in 5 minutes on the back of a napkin by midge ure (and sort of Bob Geldof), the lyrics don't really matter.

It was inspired by footage of and visits to (not sure on the chronology of Bob Geldof visiting) of thousands of dying children in tents - the idea was clearly the western idea of Christmas rather than the religious celebration.

Small anecdote: When the British song (aforementioned) was written, the musicians went out for fish and chips and got back to work, whereas the American equivalent (We are the world) was apparently catered with an enormous near-banquet for the stars.

Presumably their data shows them that if they mix in some monitors that aren't 1440p or aren't IPS that customers still sometimes buy those monitors anyway. From Amazon's perspective the search functionality is more of a product discovery functionality. If they only showed what the customer was searching for they would miss out on sales to people who didn't start out with a clear idea of what they wanted.
