Arch Linux has a decent guide explaining the behind-the-scenes stuff: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Power_management/Suspen...

On desktops and laptops, it Usually Should Just Work (tm). The general culprits for issues are proprietary graphics and wifi drivers as well as shoddy BIOSes with broken ACPI tables, but I never had to dig this deep.

For embedded systems, the situation is more complex, as the chipset needs to support it - suspend itself is not the problem in most cases, but wakeup is - for example, the Raspberry Pi does not have a dedicated interrupt (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1281). If you're working with an embedded chipset, your best bet is the manufacturer, they have to deal with that in the BSP.

Bill Gates was in the process of building a new prototype nuclear power plant. Highlights for this design is that in a worst case scenario; it will continue working without ANY human intervention. From my understanding, it may lose efficiency but will not meltdown. That's the design philosophy in a nutshell. Prototypes were set to be built in China - until Trump blocked it as part of his trade-war initiative.

It's definitely harder to track as wallets don't have your name written on them. With good practices you can keep anon if you'd wish. Hard to do for non tech-savvy users I assume.
I'm going to ignore the bank bureaucracy that isn't involved in transactions, currency flow, liquidity, fraud prevention, etc.

Bank transactions (in the US at least) take 2-5 days to clear because of insufficient bureaucracy. The banks are understaffed and slow to develop new, more efficient tech. They close on weekends and holidays. Increasing bank bureaucracy would fix a lot of the current problems.

Bitcoin has more bureaucracy than banks in the form of miners (1M+). They never go to sleep and the transactions never slow down.

Reducing "bureaucratic overhead" is a non-goal.
If you don't know who Pieter Levels is, the title makes it sound like this person makes $600k doing remote coding work on jobs found on Nomad List and Remote OK.

>Le Corbusier was heralded as the genius of modern architecture. Today, his buildings seem vaguely dystopian

100% agree with this. He designed first planned city of India, Chandigarh - state capital of Punjab at that time. Buildings he designed are lifeless to me. There is just no motivation going into those buildings, they sap your energy. Legislature house is easily one of the worst designed building of them all - imagine giving your politicians such an uninspiring structure and tasteless interior. On top, all of these buildings are poorly lit. I dreaded going into these buildings and bureaucrats housed inside also resented their offices.

I can't find any author information in the linked doc but it reminds me of the work Donovan Kolbly was doing about that time on RScheme. I think RScheme was initially intended to be a teachable implementation and I seem to recall a book project that went along with it (I was a grad student then and there, and was an RScheme user, but wasn't closely involved with Wilson's group).
Yeah a lot of people get stuck in the loop of worrying whether they're using the right framework or programming patterns or whether their blog will scale to 1 million daily hits. They rarely ship anything.

If you never put your work out there, you'll never be successful, so the key is to stop messing around and just build. If it's shit, it's shit, no one can see the code, if you want to rewrite it then ship it and do it after.

The quicker it's out there, the better it is for you, and it's also incredibly motivating to get feedback ASAP without guessing what people might want from your product.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For me, it always takes some time to see it as face and still hard to understand what emotion this face presents.
Same. I just moved back to the Midwest from Seattle and while Seattle has certainly become more "boring" and "samey", our new neighborhood is vibrant, diverse, affordable and full of fabulous people. The whole city feels big enough to have everything we could want, while not being so big it gets boring. There's plenty of life left in US cities, you just have to look outside {Seattle|SF}.

Bitcoin inherently is unsuitable to ve used as a currency. Transaction fees are to high and the hash rate means waiting for to long for a transactiom to be approved.

First job out of college was coding in BLISS for automated test equipment at Teradyne. A very interesting language with a powerful macro facility, and as others have pointed out, expression semantics for almost everything. Another quirk was the requirement to dereference pointers in all circumstances with the . operator.
I bought it at the roughly same price, but sold like 80% of it once it hit $200. Once I actually made 50x my money the price just seemed way too high.

Shrug. At least I got a decent return. Calling the top is hard.
Chatbots can also come in handy especially for ecommerce since they can help improve the Customer Experience when they have queries and want to get answers from the business. They can be available 24/7 and if they face an issue they cannot handle, they can redirect to a human agent who can take care of the issue. The thing though is building Chatbots, especially the ones that support AI is quite hectic.

There are so many tools out there but they all seem to miss a feature that you REALLY need. Most times they all force you to pay to have that “Powered by….” imprint removed and AI doesn’t work.

How about a done-for-you solution? These Chatifai guys set up a simple custom chatbot in 72 hours after placing your order!

>Modern hashes like SHA256 are probably resistant to collisions in Twitter’s limited message space.

Actually, no. 140 characters alphanumeric translates to 833 bits of entropy. This is significantly more than the 256 bits in SHA256, and due to the pigeonhole principle, collisions are guaranteed. That said, it's still nontrivial to bruteforce the hash, because searching thorough 256 bits is hard, but that's unrelated to the "limited message space".
I’m Danish, and nothing in the article supports your headline. All it states is that the head of our Army Intelligence Service and two leading fighters have been sent home, after an investigation by an independent inspectorate authority build to keep watch over our intelligence services have found FE (army intelligence) to withhold information.

The only mention of a whistleblower, is their suggestion that our government sets up the option for whistleblowers to come forward.

The materials that lead to the original investigation may have come from a whistleblower, but right now, there is no information available on that publicly. Likewise, there is no real information on what misdeeds they’ve done. Maybe they didn’t follow up on reports of espionage, maybe they held back info from the watchdog, maybe they even build up files on employees in the watch dog, but nothing is public yet.

FE (army intelligence) isn’t what you would call “the intelligence service” either, that would be PET. FE handles foreign military threats and international state-to-state cyber warfare.
I don't think a clean division into two categories "document" and "application" will work.

It's more of a spectrum than a binary, a lot of things exist at various points in between "completely document" and "completely app". Even wikipedia has editing interfaces which are arguably "app" right? I guess it could be split into two separate "things", one using the "document web" for display and another using the "application web" for editing. This doesn't seem all that appealing.

I think the ability to be wherever you want on the document/application spectrum, and have a site (or a part of a site) move along the spectrum over times without having to "rewrite in a new technology" is part of what leads to success of the current web as it is.

The OP is probably not wrong that it's also part of what leads to the technology mess. But I don't think it's realistic to think you can bifurcate the architecture for two ideal use cases like that.
I am super inspired by Pieter. At the same time, I'm also not a believer of a one size fits all approach. A lot of Pieter's work these days is built around remote working communities. His first ideas when he was doing 12 months, 12 startups were very singular in focus. Nothing wrong with that at all. At the same time, Pieter's approach has not been used across a broad range of products in terms of product complexity.

I'm basically curious which larger products have been made with this kind of relatively ultra-light technological approach and have still succeeded.

I'm particularly curious if there are products that started out as a super simple application and then grew in complexity while maintaining this kind of approach. At what point did it break? Are there examples where it did not break?

Edit - by growing in complexity I mean feature/product complexity while maintaining technical "simplicity".

Or am I thinking about this backwards? If you are a single developer, you use your basic tools, and launch products that are light on complexity where the focus is to ensure it earns money and that's it.
If you’re going for speed of development, it’s hard to beat server side rendering in Rails. The creator built Rails for speed of development and happy engineers. It’s also very opinionated (convention over configuration) which helps me just build out features rapidly without making thousands of pointless decisions.

I am not opposed to React for like, a calendar application, or a particularly complex part of a web app, but most web apps have 90% CRUD and 10% shiny.

And with well-tuned SQL and turbolinks dropped on, Rails pages load in 30-60ms with no page refresh.
Eh, automotive requirements are more than just for safety-critical pieces - reliability matters for non-safety functions too, and all automotive Linuxes I've seen had similar pieces build in that direction - which from my understanding AGL attempts to standardize.

Then there's things that are less critical than the hardware keeping the car on the road, but more important than the radio, and Linux is creeping in there too. Be it parts of the instrument cluster, or non-required warning systems, or visualizations of surrounding traffic, or ...

Just because the requirements placed on these components are not as strict than e.g. for engine controllers they still are additional requirements specific to the field, so I don't think the label is totally misused. Although I admit that the confusion it apparently causes every time it is mentioned points to it being a bad name nevertheless, and "automotive linux platform" would be appropriately buzzword-compliant too.

Tipping points like this are good reminders that our current policy choices and courses of action are guided by conservative estimates and assumptions- which is why it's a meme at this point when reading about new findings to see that the system is responding 'faster than expected'.

The low, rosy climate sensitivities that make 1.5C policy goals look possible are being ruled out: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/07/climate-change-equili...

A recent study found arctic ice is melting faster than expected: https://phys.org/news/2020-08-underestimated-pace-arctic.htm...

We need a new way to communicate the realities of climate change without allowing our leaders to latch onto some low-probability, low-sensitivity, low-impact fairy tale.
IMO it’s unfair to blame “low quality developers”. The industry has coalesced around React as the one stop answer to everything. Coding boot camps focus on it to the detriment of broader web technologies. It’s worth calling out when it actually fit a use case.
For about a decade I've had in my bashrc

C() { cd `$HOME/path-selector.sh "$@"`; }

where path-selector is from https://github.com/MarcWeber/path-selector

Opt-in bash extensions can do basically whatever people complain bash can't do. Though to be honest I don't use it that much over the last, say, 5 years. If I know a deep directory tree that well, I can just type it explicitly and/or tab complete it without losing much time. If I don't know it that well, FZF is quite nice.
Depends on the RDBMS, but for big ones it's common practice to tune[0] them to allocate a big chunk of memory (or all of it) and let them manage caching by themselves. After all, they know better about the structure of the db files than the OS.

I work with embedded systems and I can tell you for a fact that there are exactly two reasons for not including Python or newer versions of it:

1) Hardware constraints.
2) Software must be real-time.

Non-embedded developers are usually unable to understand the constrains of embedded and chalk it up to "you are dinosaurs". Not true.
If you want to and put some effort into it you can already get a "basic income" in my country. It's €1000 per month or so and at that level you also get other support on top. Plenty to have a 'basic' life.

There's always some that are "fine" with it and don't try or intentionally screw up the mandatory search for work. But in general everything you said simply doesn't happen.

People DO have an intrinsic need for exploring, learning and feeling useful.

I would say that what JS animations are even better at is justifying inflated budgets of the projects made for people who are not very familiar with tech.

Is there ever a real reason for animations that doesn't make the interface feel sluggish and unresponsive? In the other hand if you actually set the animation delay to something incredibly low, all of your animation needs could be easily solved by animating the transparency of the appearing elements.

SQLite is staggeringly productions ready. I think the trick is to think of it less like a traditional database and more like a file format with an SQL front end.

From the website [1]

> SQLite is used by literally millions of applications with literally billions and billions of deployments.

It's also worth noting (at least, imo) that it's automated test suite is fantastic. I seems to recall it has considerably more test code than actual library code.

I wouldn't call alchemy a pseudo-science. Pseudo-science is something pretending to be science but which is not using legitimate scientific methods (falsifiable hypotheses, reproducible experiments and so on). Alchemy was the study of transformations of matter and did use experiments (rather than just making stuff up, like a typical pseudo-science). Turned out some of the hypotheses were wrong.
Maybe. I'd hazard a guess that membership of the top 1000 places in a high-stakes national exam might actually be less noisy than a gold medal. That is, on a re-run, what percentage of people keep their top-1000 scores, and (on re-runs of the last 40 years olympics, times 100 individual events, say) what percentage of gold medalists would have kept theirs?

But I have not checked the numbers. Obviously if you restrict attention to those with exam scores near the boundary, you can get different results. And there are indeed other sports scores more precise than the one I mentioned.
No, I said the best way to learn to predict human text is to capture human knowledge. I did not say how best to capture human knowledge. Obviously doing gradient descent over a huge text corpus is massively inefficient for a human. Whether its the best way for a machine to learn it is another matter. After all, the amount of data that humans experience through their senses during formative years, as well as the "computational work" that went into evolving human brain architectures surely dwarfs GPT-3's training regime.

Alain de Botton suggests marrying someone even if they are unideal and accepting their foibles, but what if instead people choose to remain single? He writes:

> The person who is best suited to us is not the person who shares our every taste (he or she doesn’t exist)...

Me, I spend most of my free time consuming literature, films and music. Trying to assimilate as much of the canon as I can is what drives me; the beauty in art makes life worth living. If a person doesn't share my tastes and isn’t willing to sit with me during all these moving and emotionally rich experiences day in and day out, then that means that they don’t share my life, and that seems like a bad foundation for any relationship. I do miss companionship, but I would rather stay single than enter into a marriage that would be an exercise in mutual frustration or force me to give up that which gives my life meaning and purpose.

As there is less social pressure to marry today and people now have boundless access to media, I suspect that many other people will reach the same conclusion, even if the hunger for companionship or childraising at any cost means that such insistently single people might remain a minority.

That's the root of opening this question. In the companies, that I've been in, I have numerous cases where business was impaired by speed at which codebase could be renovated.
Basically,
a. business looks at engineering
b. engineering shrugs (we got capacity, time constraints)

This is where, I believe, an openly available tool like above would make the difference.

Why?

Am curious. What, in modern languages, makes it so?

> but much more likely to be inhouse tools of companies specializing in ports.
Why do you think it fits inhouse cases?

I can imagine an openly available option, commonly used by each inhouse team, to be more effective. You get community scale of development, This space doesn't really look very IP differentiating vis-à-vis business anyways.

On a serious note, with the automotive industry's historical track record with timely updating their car software and doing so for as long as a car is kept running (with the possible exception of Tesla), I'm not sure any OS will be sufficient. Without some legal definition of orphaned automotive software being something like X unfixed CERT vulnerabilities over Y years, and legally-mandated regulation that open sources the ability to load alternative software, that security drift will always be the Achilles heel of any gear that uses software, not just cars.

This is one of the reasons I've become a lot more selective with hardware gear. Any gear that lets me use open source software immediately goes to the top of the evaluation list above closed source vendor software, because I've been stranded way too many times by hardware with closed source software the vendor abandons for a newer model.
