Ideally, facts could assert themselves. Unfortunately, humans are needed to assert facts, and therefor any judgements based on facts require human interpretation.

We can dissolve interpretations down as far as we like to leave as little room for bias and dishonesty (and that is a useful effort), but ultimately there will always be POWER in the hands of those who we abdicate arbitration authority to.

...and power corrupts.

The alternative is creating a diverse ecosystem of organizations/individuals who's analysis/logic people can choose to subscribe to and judge based on the reputation that they garner over time.

...and diversity of thought and analysis liberates.

For nVidia that’s an artificial limitation in their GPU drivers. They’re basically saying “if you want to encode more than 2 video streams at the same time, you must pay us much more for the same hardware in a different package”.

As far as I’m aware, neither AMD nor Intel have such limits in their hardware encoders or GPU drivers. The only limit is performance of their hardware but 1080p doesn’t have too many pixels, pretty sure they both can handle at least a dozen of streams.
That's the competition that ultimately ate Soekris' market--they never could recover after the net6501 debacle, and maybe would have exited regardless.

But what Soekris offered and PC Engines still offers is ostensibly greater consistency and reliability, a better firmware story, and a proven commitment to long term availability and support of the platform. PC Engines still sells their ALIX model, and Soekris Europe still has net5501 boards in stock. The ALIX and net5501 are both ~15 years old, I think.

A substantial portion, if not most of PC Engines' business, comes from small vendors building custom embedded solutions, such as WiFi base stations. The developer/hobbyist community loves PC Engines because it takes the guesswork out of things. The hardware will always be well supported by FOSS--because of PC Engines' efforts, and because there are plenty of FreeBSD, Linux, OpenBSD, etc developers with a box--and there's solid brand recognition regarding quality. (Also, serial!) The downside is that the specs are antiquated almost from day 1, but for basic chores still adequate.
There is, of course, the target size: it's the entire Earth's population with Internet access.

Several companies / communities came rather close to that goal, say Google or Facebook or Wikipedia.

Speaking as a rising senior with 1.5yr's of internship xp's:

General Advice:

- How open an intern is to their mentor can really affect attitude and all of the ans below. Try to create opportunities outside of work to get to know each other.

Your questions:

- Setup a recurring meeting, definitely. If you ask them whether they want it, its a coin flip but chances are if they are shy/introverted or have something to prove they will say no and it makes for a bad experience. If you say there will be one, it takes pressure off the intern.

- For professional growth, try to get them to sit in on meetings that you have, or in general try to put them in positions to meet as many people as possible (honestly what I think the most important thing in an internship). Don't just have them write code. Have them draft write ups, emails, and organize meetings.

- Technical growth is trickier and it depends on how well you know the intern's need. Big recommendation for this one is finding a way to make the intern comfortable with asking for help and helping them be open about their skill set without stress. A resume really can't tell you too much about what they know or don't. If they show interest in an area, help them explore it or find people in the company that can give them advice/maybe give an intern tech talk.

- Feedback every two weeks is a good idea if done right. You need to find a way, even if you are blunt about it, to tell the intern that negative feedback won't affect your opinions of them. Also this is one is obvious, but don't let it affect your opinion of them :)

Best of luck!

David Malan is such a nice person, I remember when I was taking CS50 and found a syntax error and emailed him about it and he was so kind and fixed it.
In Bangladesh, there is no Amazon, no eBay. All e-commerce is Facebook-commerce
And the baseball team, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (the the angels angels of Ana's home)
I met Professor Malan once and asked him for some advice on overcoming imposter syndrome. His advice was a matter-of-fact, learn the things you feel like you don't know and it shouldn't be an issue. I still feel like that sometimes, but the way MOOCs are today makes it easier to approach anything I feel like I don't know.
Well... early in my career, a colleague and I developed a bit of a mantra: "Did you fix it everywhere?" Later in my career, I learned the value of there only being one place to have to fix.

At the same time, too much DRY can over-complicate (and even obfuscate) your code. That's not the answer either.

Taste. Taste, experience, and wisdom. But I don't know how to give them to someone who doesn't have them. Maybe by pointing out the problems of specific things they're trying to do, in a way that they (hopefully) can understand and see why it's going to be a problem. Maybe...
"Reports that NSA taps into Google and Yahoo data hubs infuriate tech giants"

Files obtained from Edward Snowden suggest NSA can collect information sent by fibre optic cable between Google and Yahoo data hubs 'at will'...

Citing documents obtained from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and interviews with officials, the Washington Post claimed the agency could collect information "at will" from among hundreds of millions of user accounts.

The documents suggest that the NSA, in partnership with its British counterpart GCHQ, is copying large amounts of data as it flows across fiber-optic cables that carry information between the worldwide data centers of the Silicon Valley giants. The intelligence activities of the NSA outside the US are subject to fewer legal constraints than its domestic actions.

Show HN: Portway – A developer-friendly, collaborative notes app
Possibly stupid question:

Can you use Nagios to stream metrics exported from your applications binary in real time?

For example, can you use Nagios record each http request processed by your application webserver, tagged with http method, code, latency etc?
So the 4000G series should be great for you, right?
Hi folks, I’m Jay, one of the creators of Portway.

Sometimes we need a place to record things for internal use and share with some or all of our team members. Other times we need to write copy for apps, websites, and other published materials. And then there’s also plenty of times I just want to jot down some notes from a meeting for my own use. We thought, what if we could do that all in one place?

That’s why we built Portway. You don’t have to fill out a bunch of forms to start writing something, you enter a title and start writing. Then you can invite your teammates to collaborate with you, and if you want to publish your content outside Portway you can integrate with the API. Markdown provides a great solution for defining some basic structure around your content (this is a header, this is a quote, etc.), but the API leaves the display side up to you. Convert it to html, parse out a table of contents (see docs.portway.app for an example) and have at it.

So there it is, Portway! A developer-friendly, collaborative notes app. We’d love some feedback!
Then in reality the website is down due to the simplest things that's so common we don't reconsider it, such as user input some special characters that makes the server error.

If you're not a Rust developer, expecting you to have cargo and the right toolchain installed is too high a burden.
It isn't! When Facebook announced the program [1], they made it clear that they had no interest in becoming arbiters of truth; fact checking was about preventing hoaxes, stories like "5G causes coronavirus" that are just completely and unambiguously made up. The expectation that Facebook fact checkers should intervene in live political controversies was inevitable IMO, but I don't think many people would explicitly endorse the idea that Facebook has to teach people good climate science.

A lot of the advice seems superficial (using college and employer branding to leverage yourself into roles). It even goes to the point of telling you that earnign an MBA from a any school besides a toptier school hurts you.

WikiHow is using mediawiki (or at least a fork of it) https://src.wikihow.com/

But there certainly exist other wikis and wiki-like projects that dont. MDN and OWASP wiki are prominent examples that moved away from mediawiki. I think mediawiki has most of the mass-collabotation market, but there is much more competition in the open-source project documentation niche (which people often use wikis for) and corporate knowledge base market.

P.s. for the interested, mediawiki has statistics at https://pingback.wmflabs.org/#unique-wiki-count (opt-in) and

Starting yesterday, I have been getting Cloudflare's hCaptcha image identification quizzes on every site that uses them. Googling the issue indicates that the IP address range may have been blacklisted, if say my laptop (a Mac that doesn't visit any shady sites) or my router has been compromised and is now running a botnet or something.

It seems unlikely because my phone can access sites on wifi fine, and again my Mac doesn't appear to have any malware.

Could it be that the outage is somehow relate to Cloudflare putting these captchas up as a precautionary measure?
Yup. This is why I actually agree with Zuckerberg on his “no censorship” approach.

He’s smart enough to recognize that taking on the burden of what should be censored and what shouldn’t is a quagmire he’d prefer to avoid. No matter how “good” your filters are, you’re going to piss off a massive group of customers, despite all the effort.

It’s just a massive time sink with little to no benefit.

This is fascinating. ELI5: how does this work? (I'm couldn't find references on the linked site)

Let's say I supply a high-dimensional DAE, f(x', x, z) = 0, x(0) = x₀, where classical methods like quadrature are unwieldy. Does the algorithm generate n samples in the solution space by integrating n times and then fitting an NN? With different initial conditions? Or does it perform quadrature with NNs instead of polynomial basis functions?
I don't know. I feel like the difference between quoted and not-quoted is the difference between a keyword and a string. In HTML quotes let me know unambiguously what is a value and what isn't. I'd also wager an insignificant speedup in parsing from not having to intuit where the value ends or what tokens are part of the value.

Looking at an expanded example:

`<div id=foo class=bar>`

- `div` is a keyword.

- `id` is a keyword.

- `foo` is meant to be a string value but it's ambiguous.

- `class` is meant to be a keyword but it's ambiguous. Since `foo` isn't quoted how much extra work does the parser have to perform to know this?

Not using quotes relies on browsers that have always made a best-effort attempt to parse even the most badly broken HTML. This was particularly bad back in the late 90's early 00's.

I think I prefer consistent HTML rather than quotes that change based on the value.
Storing Time – Part 1
Even in cases of clear video of an event, two people may come to opposing conclusions about what the video actually depicts. An example I saw on HN recently was the video from Seattle of a car hitting and killing two protestors on a highway. One commenter believed the video depicted reckless but ultimately unintentional manslaughter, while another believed it depicted premeditated murder. I think they were both sincere in their opinions, but they both watched the same video and can't both be right.

Another example are the videos of the collapse of the WTC7 building. Many people view those videos and perceive an intact building being intentionally demolished. I view those same videos and perceive a building gutted by debris and fire collapsing under it's own weight. We watch the same videos but come to opposite conclusions.

It's a bit funny that one of the problems these APUs have is that the gpu power is linked to the cpu power. The 4700G has more Vega CUs than the 4300G, which really is a pity for gamers that are interested in an APU to get a cheap gaming capable system, and unnecessary for those that want a strong processor with just some integrated graphics and would be just fine with the weaker graphics module. It would be nice if you could separate the processor and the graphics part and just mix them as needed... ;)

I think the problem with Facebook and similar platforms is that they tend to merge everything into one stream. You see news, opinion, humor, satire, and ads all in one continuous feed, often not labeled as to which type it is (except ads usually say "sponsored" or something like that).

Furthermore, they are designed to get you to consume as much of this stream as possible. They would rather have you shallowly engage 120 article in an hour than deeply delve into 2 articles.

(In fact, their stupid system actually penalizes you for going too deeply into an article, but I'll save the rant that would follow if I went into detail on that for another time...)

This results in their readers often failing at telling news, opinion, humor, etc., apart.

They should probably separate stuff out, like newspapers and magazines usually do. Then fact check everything in news, and perhaps have a disclaimer in the opinion section clearly stating that the articles are the opinions of their authors and have specifically not been fact checked.

Any writeup / explanation available? This is really great!
Facebook endumbens people. It's there front and center of the stupidification process, whether it wants to be or not. And it wants to be: it's aware that the mechanisms it uses to attract eyeballs (and thus revenue) favor lies and propaganda over facts. Facts are boring. Proof that your ideological enemies are out to get you is endlessly fascinating.

They want to have it both ways, to remain sticky but without having the world become a worse place for it. I'm sure they'd love it if schools didn't also contribute to the increasing gullibility of the US, but that's not something they can control. Their own feeds, by contrast, is something they have power over.
Devrel here, (by the way it’s typically called a Developer Advocate or a Developer Evangelist, don’t get me started on how many questions I’ve gotten about the relation to religion lol)

I think the article does a good job describing what devrel looks like at companies that are smart about selling to the new “tech business world” which is desperate for a way to measure the technical credibility of potential vendors.

But what’s more interesting from someone who knows devrel because I’ve worked in it for 7 years, is that at a more general level it’s just a communication layer that a business can have with an audience or a persona(in this case developers), that is growing ever more important. Whether you’re a platform (google Apple) and need more devs making stuff within your ecosystem, or you’re not selling to developers but you need technical integrations by third parties to enhance The value prop of your product, or you’re ACTUALLY selling directly to developers and trying to expand their mental model of what is possible with the low code tooling available today and why they can and should trust it.

It’s a wide and interesting world in which almost every company is becoming a software company, and almost none of these companies have any idea how to communicate with developers or what they care about.

You’re right that devrel is like a pre-sales role somewhat, but we all know developers are the hardest group to sell to in history, who else could more easily go find a free open source solution or just make it themselves?? You have to be able to communicate about the pros and cons of technology in an honest and coherent way, and that is what Devrel is all about to me.

Allowing people to "choose" to subscribe to certain things has the ability to get them and others killed. That's why I mentioned the blood libel, while desperately casting around for something that people on HN wouldn't pointlessly dispute as subjective.

The bar for "this is genuinely dangerous" should be very high, though!
