Interesting that you brought up mathematics. My shallow view of the haskell community is that they think haskell is/should be as theoretically solid as mathematics. And based on this, my interpretation of the underlying fear in the article is analogous to the Russian government somehow duping all the world's mathematicians to only work on the problem domain of breaking cryptos (and incidentally primarily the type of cryptos used by "enemy" nations) and all the mathematicians dropping everything and going "yeah, that sound super cool let's do that, maybe someone else will pick up my work in combinatorial topography"

Does anyone know any metrics regarding sheer throughput of words? How efficient is ASL in terms of words per minute vs relaxed speech. I'm thinking of something like comparing typing words per minute vs speech recognition words per minute.

Here's some context I quickly found in Wikipedia

Audiobooks are recommended to be 150–160 words per minute, which is the range that people comfortably hear and vocalize words.[14]
An average professional typist types usually in speeds of 50 to 80 wpm, while some positions can require 80 to 95 (usually the minimum required for dispatch positions and other time-sensitive typing jobs), and some advanced typists work at speeds above 120 wpm.[4]

Well, that behaviour makes it easier to move around in a file, which is exactly the point.
Anyone know what the commodity "ruggedized sports cameras" they refer to might be? They make it sound like they truly used COTS cameras, which isn't normal for a mission like this.

I'd be interested in reading about how they were modified to make them survive the environment they will be subjected to. My guess is that these cameras were not necessarily designed for long lifetime, probably just to capture the landing sequence, transfer to rad-hard rover storage and that's about it.

First I would love to find a way to find which banks or processors are vulnerable.

Second is, is there a way to gain the safety of the chip and pin with online purchases. Currently I obscure my CC info by using PayPal where available and when in the real world I live by Apple pay. If I could disable access to my card by stripe for real world where Apple pay is not usable I would.
The majority of our mortgage market is govt guaranteed at artificially low interest rates (i.e. the US govt is taking losses on the time value of that money)- that was my point.

Everybody moves up- meaning more homes being built- so you'd expect this to increase house production in the US, correct?

So, despite a disincentive for low payed laborers (like those who do construction) to go to work, the housing market will not just continue, but actually become more productive?

That $1100 a month- doesn't include home insurance, doesn't include property taxes, and assumes a $60k down payment, correct? Seems like a charitable number to pick.

I've got to actually start writing things down about my personal projects :)

At this point I've still just been learning about the bus timing. I've got an m68k hooked up to an 16 MHz Arduino Mega which is running the m68k at 4 MHz so I can get 4 samples per clock of the m68k (https://imgur.com/CxSlIHL). I can actually drive the CPU with the arduino since I can manage DTACK just quick enough with some inline AVR assembly.

Hit a small snag though. Turns out the 68010's I ordered are fakes.

Ended up with the same parts you did (saw your post at https://hackaday.io/project/164305-roscom68k/log/175626-fake...) (what I received: https://imgur.com/WCwRpHJ).

I was fairly naive to the fakes when I started ordering parts. I've basically ended up with all fakes. Got some Harris 80C286-25s which are fakes (internet seems to suggest they are rebadged 20 MHz parts, so at least they are the same base part (static core 286)), but I don't have the capacity to test them quite yet. I've also ended up with a 50 MHz 68030 that seems to actually be a 33 MHz 68030. Again, I can't test it yet so I'm really hoping it's not an EC part rebadged. I wanted the MMU.

Then use partitioning (which the OP appears to be doing)?

If you need to do some kind of full table scan, what exactly is going to be faster about noSQL? With SQL, your data is presumably going to be non-contiguous so you are going to get slower seeks on disk...but (I believe, although I am not 100% familiar) this can happen with noSQL if you add an index (which are often BTree...so the same as SQL under the hood) and you have things like SSTables/compaction potentially slowing performance too (although maybe not an issue in this application...I don't know).

If you are doing some kind of full table scan though, there is no weird magic in noSQL that allows you to perform this faster afaik. You are reading from disk, that is your limit. The point, afaik, with noSQL for logging is that writes are faster so the throughput is larger...which can be required for this use case but probably isn't relevant for everyone.

Instead of being afraid of updates you should be able to rollback any problematic updates and be impossible to end up in a broken system because updates interrupted. The only distros offering that are NixOS and GuixSD.
This .... This kind of approach could and should replace rust. That is, if the language developers are interested in commercial adoption a sweet spot is a memory safer c++. Rust has that going on but it'll never make it as a truly safe language in memory and other aspects without specification and verification. I'm arguing real progress may include rust like impulses but can't be complete without built in tla+ or other formal tool support

The longest manned lunar rover trip was more like 15km (7.5km out and back on Apollo 17) and the limiting factor there was that the astronauts had to be ready to walk back if it broke down. If the mission called for the astronauts to walk 23km in a single trip on Mars, designing the technology for that would not be a huge leap.

I agree the extra weight required for life support and a return journey would be far greater than what the unmanned rovers need.
I think many newer developers, especially ones who are naive to asynchronous programming, may learn/be taught that "when you want to get a result from an API, you just need to put 'await' in front of it", without fully understanding what exactly it entails. There may be fewer people in that situation on HN than there are in the developer population at large, but I theorize that it's a widespread issue and I wanted to shed some light on it.
America's involvement in the Middle East and Afghanistan are "not just talk". Drone strikes are not just talk. Its treatment of undocumented immigrant children at its borders is not just talk. Pointing as many fingers as you can at China does not erase America's own atrocities - what, exactly, does the civilian death toll from America's manufactured conflicts struggle to hold a candle to? How, exactly, is the violent approach that the US has taken to the protests currently going on within its borders so much less of a dystopian nightmare than in Hong Kong?

> And I wouldn't count TikTok/ByteDance's affiliation with the CCP as "tenuous."

Github clearly, demonstrably, directly supports ICE's operations with its contract services.

Microsoft clearly, demonstrably, directly supports the US military's operations with its contract services.

What clear, demonstrable, direct support does TikTok give the CCP that I can point to as a reason why I disdain it, the way I can point to Github's ICE contract or Microsoft's JEDI contract? I would actually be quite interested in evidence of such a thing.

Why am I expected to swallow my revulsion for the American war machine and use Github's or Microsoft's services, but not do the same for TikTok?

> How much power to say "no" to them do you think they have?

This...is not the gotcha that you might think it is. Even if they're implicated in harm, ByteDance at least has the dubious excuse of being compelled to do so by the state. Github, Microsoft and co voluntarily choose to (and even compete to!) be a part of the American state's apparatus of violence because of money of all things - that really, really does not translate into me having more respect and/or trust for them than for ByteDance.
This is what's confusing me - I have no problem with the complaint that a language feature is confusing or unfriendly to beginners, but in this particular case, why would somebody who doesn't know what await does even use it? What are they expecting it to do besides wait?

Broadly speaking, the press loves the nutters. They make a sensational story and draw eyeballs. This is fine, but then both-sidesing leads to the normalization of nuttery. Fact checking is hard work, and not adequately compensated. It's a public good problem, a failure of capitalist incentives to protect the public interest. Often the impulse is to use regulation to circumscribe such damages, but in the case of the press, doing so has unconscionable consequences as well. It will take a simple act of genius, restructuring the markets for public information (supply side), and/or a leap in public education and conscience (demand side) to address such a wicked problem.
Yes, absolutely. The key difference is in the incentives/outcomes of the policy. UBI involves lessening incentive to participate in the labor market, lower taxes increases the incentive (because you keep more of your earnings). At some level of 'passive' income it becomes very difficult for a rational person to make the decision to go to work every day.

UBI is one of those ideas that is theoretically awesome but doesn't survive contact with reality, or rather the inevitable flawed humans that administer it.
It's looks like a video game so that you can show it to police/your targets and they won't "get" what it is.
> systemd-boot doesn't support those filesystems as the /boot partition, all of those things for your / are totally fine. For most people having your /boot partition be XFS vs FAT32 is firmly in the "who cares?" realm.

XFS is also not supported. But yes, your /boot can be fat32, but saying "nobody cares" is just needlessly dismissive, I can think of many reasons to care at least a little. Primary of which is lack of encryption and ability to mirror easily, another can be the possible corruption of /boot (FAT is not typically used for it's data consistency properties)

> Nobody really supports OPAL, even grub. The only reliable solution is using https://github.com/sedutil/sedutil to unlock the disk and then soft reboot into any normal bootloader.

I guess this is a fair statement, if you ignore that the "PBA" is actually using grub itself, but yes, the PBA is non-encrypted and usually lives as a separate partition, making it functionally equivalent between systemd-boot and grub2.

> You can do mdraid, you just have to stick the metadata at the end of the drive rather than the beginning. The utilities that set up your raid even warn you about this because this setup is so standard.

You can't boot to an mdraid device with systemd-boot, you can only have a separate (non mirrored or raid'd) partition on a drive, and point to that drive to boot.

Are you sure? It seems incongruous with my mental model, which is that the first `await`, when executed, immediately pauses execution, so the second is only dispatched when the first has resolved.

Your argument makes no sense. We can just replace "UBI" with "job".

It would kind of defeat the purpose of making money with a job if people had to spend their earned money on mitigating the consequences of people taking advantage of them receiving money.

So... the takeaway is strive to earn less so you get preyed on less?
Out of the four companies questioned by Congress Google seems to be the most poorly/inefficiently run, as well as the most likely to be broken up due to its products monopolizing the spaces they compete in. If Congress does act and if Google does indeed get split up or negatively affected by antitrust regs, doesn't it stand to reason that the other three also face the same fate?

Weakening AdWords would be a boon to Facebook; making Android independent might help out iPhone sales and increase Apple's walled garden; spinning off YouTube would probably help Facebook, Prime Video and YouTube TV; Google Shopping ceasing to be subsidized by AdWords would be great for Bezos' bottomline, etc. It seems to me that if Congress weakens one of the four, the others will only grow in size/influence.
I think some of the posts here miss a little bit of the context as to why things like this happen in the first place. It's only in the last handful of years that a stack for logging has really become mainstream. Chances are a lot of these types of logging solutions predate that and used whatever persistence technology was readily available. Writing to files on web servers can be a pain, and these logs will have to be queried at some point, so storing it in a database is not a bad idea, especially when better options have only recently become available.

The problem is that relational SQL is bad for logs, but by the time it gets to the scale where it's problematic that there's too much volume in the logs to make anything "easy". Simultaneously there's a lot of business value in that log data that you don't want to lose.

Yes, SQL's a poor fit for logs, but it's a better fit then a lot of other things, including not logging at all. Better solutions exist, but they don't exist in a bubble, and there's a cost to integrating them and migrating to them. A lot of these comments seem to be judging a technology decision based solely on hindsight without realizing that there are legitimate reasons for logging to SQL.

This only concerns tiger moms. I learnt a bit of music when 10-12 and I am forever grateful for that, because music is a bridge between your senses and a lot of physics phenomena. It is a way to create bridges between feelings/senses and knowledge. For example, you can hear how a DSP filter or a modulator changes the original signal; you find the reasons why an engine with a certain number of cylinders sounds better; and so on.

Having some IQ is one thing, using it is another.

Hmm, maybe it's more gradual.. with UBI maybe some people will choose to work less, rather than giving up work entirely.

At the bottom of the pay scale, UBI might not affect how much people work. Because most people have goals beyond mere survival :)
Song about working in tech I've heard
I was wondering what's the real duration of the battery.

Here on the diagram it's saying 30 days (which is awesome)
- https://flipperzero.one/zero

But on the same diagram on kickstater it's saying 7 days only...

I'm really into this device but the https://flipperzero.one/one looks so more promising and having a raspberry inside open a whole new world of possibilities, mainly on wifi.
From the article:

“The authors found studies with high-quality design, such as those which used a group of active controls – children who did not learn music but instead learned a different skill, such as dance or sports, for example – showed no effect of music education on cognitive or academic performance.“

If you can acquire the skills you mentioned doing other activities then it doesn’t mean learning music is worthless just means music doesn’t hold a special ability to do it relative to certain other activities.
There are a couple of ways a startup can become a conventional company. Some of them are good things that Google probably should do.

For example, big companies have quality expectations that startups don't need to honor (because everyone kind of understands the whole undertaking is a risk and if it fails, oh well). They also have more impact on culture and people (in multiple countries, often), and the nature of that impact has to be considered (because there's no such thing, really, as "neutral;" one person's neutrality is another's adherence to status quo, and the status quo is not always good. If it was, we'd never need new companies).

This results in some loss of velocity (quality takes time; consideration of outsized effects takes time). But it's loss of velocity for the right reasons, as a company moves from 1,000 users to 1 billion.
it looks like some pull request/issues have been filed already so hopefully these get smoothed out soon.

Why do you "hate" it? (such a strong word!)

But apart from that, I think it's great, especially for a free product. And the project is very active, it gets a new release about every 15 days.

That's a great start, but does not help if the data was also affected. For instance, running a new version might have upgraded a database to a newer format, or added new data with a format that the older version does not understand.
