Interesting move. It seems to me that IFTTT caters for a non-technicial hobby audience, because technical people and commercial outfits can replicate everything it does (and more) with a web server and some python scripts. And ten bucks a month is a lot for a hobby.
All: please don't turn this thread into an ideological flamewar. It's an interesting story and it's possible to have a curious conversation about it, so let's do that instead.

having gone through the employees of the company and looked at their backgrounds and how long they've worked at the company, and the CEO (guy in thread) describes himself as "Serial tech entrepreneur and growth hacker, with over 15 years trajectory in deep tech, Internet, and mobile. Turning great ideas into successful businesses. Specializes in Disruptive Innovation, Rapid Prototyping and Technology Commercialization.", basically, this Emrod guy will have no idea how this really works. Their "lead" scientist is a guy called Ray Simpkin, who seems reputable, but hasn't really worked in this area too much, and so far their only demonstration is something over 2m. I got a feeling reality is going to bite this company in the ass, but happy to wait for actual evidence of long range transmission. It seems everything is pretty much hype based on a lab experiment, likely trying to get some investment $s

> I'm utterly convinced that the only compelling reason for async is to avoid the per-thread stack memory allocation of 8MB per thread

Yes. The point is to use a single thread with one stack to process several tasks. This consumes less memory.

For example, Go currently has a minimum stack size of 2 KiB so a machine with 4 GiB of memory will be able to process less than 2 million goroutines. An event loop uses a single thread with a single stack, reducing memory usage at the cost of complexity.

Asynchronous functions are just like coroutines. The difference is they return to the awaiting caller instead of yielding to another function. The order of execution is determined by the underlying loop.
Oh this hurts my heart. The App looks beautiful but I am tied to a number of 32-bit applications.

I’ve heard people complain for years that Apple ignores the gaming market but I’ve never heard a compelling argument for how Apple would benefit by catering to it. Gamers are a notoriously fickle bunch, always chasing the best price/performance ratios. Apple customers are notoriously loyal and willing to shell out a lot of money on high margin products. I think the overlap between these two groups must be tiny, given their contrasting natures.

The people who do love gaming and prefer Macs are probably better off buying a console. Those machines, of course, have no margin at all. I think this is the way Apple looks at it as well.

I haven't tried anything complicated with the peripherals though, and the thing is, STM32F103 chips are so cheap already. The design is over 10 years old, and ST is so good at making them that most "64KB" chips actually have 128KB of Flash.

The GD32V chips are very cool, though; they keep the STM32-alike peripherals, but they use a faster RISC-V CPU core (rv32imac).

They're just saying "if you move data outside our jurisdiction, you must put in place suitable safeguards to protect our residents' privacy - and this requirement is currently impossible to meet in the US".

Allegedly, Schmidt also games politics, albeit unsuccessfully, he spent millions on The Groundwork trying to prop up Hillary's 2016 campaign only charging them ~$700k (at one point they had 70 SWE/SRE on staff with most focusing on her campaign's needs for an entire year, they were only a couple blocks away in NYC from Hillary HQ). The company he invested in, Timshel, folded the same year as Hillary lost the election. I'd bet anyone money he wrote off his illegal in-kind contributions as 1099 losses.

Maybe your life is a movie.

Have you considered that someone who doesn’t even want to replicate their own genes is likely not going to worry about the perpetuation of the human species? You are asking someone who doesn’t care even if their half of genes become immortal to feel the feels for someone else’s DNA. If I could say to some of these parents.. your baby is ugly and you smell like elderberries, I totally would.

My ancestors spawned multiple copies of what’s my DNA. Your understanding of genetics is shockingly sparse.

A mother bird will feed the strongest in the nest. The runt would be pushed out of the nest because the strongest has to survive to keep the species going.

Perhaps it’s better for someone without parental instincts to NOT become a father. Perhaps someone has a genetic disease and chose not to pass it on creating defective species. Perhaps someone dedicates their life to supporting orphanages or children’s hospitals. Perhaps someone wants to leave a light footprint because their 6 siblings have 3 children each.

You literally have NO valid reason to judge anyone who chooses not to spawn more of their own genes in this crowded 8 billion strong..soon to be 10 billion...world.

The only people I judge are those who willingly choose to have more than two children and are reliant on others to raise their own children. Even then, I want to say that I understand that instinct. Sometimes it’s a mental illness. Sometimes it’s an abusive situation. Sometimes it’s faith. Who knows. I have no choice but to respect their choices as long as they take responsibility. But those who bring children into this world without any responsibility and happy to look at others rather than themselves to raise them earn my ire.

Your words have however made me want to look this up. This parenthood martyrdom syndrome is fascinating. It is certainly more recent. It is basically a deception technique. There is a bird called killdeer and they lay eggs in the farm on bare ground. When a predator comes along, they hop a little distance away and enact a soap opera called broken wing syndrome. Pretending to flail around due to a broken wing..when they have distracted the predator long enough they’d fly away. Bird brain predator will likely go away in the next direction or the other birds will crowd them after hearing the cacophonous warning. That’s what this sacrificing parent archetype reminds me of...fascinating. I am going to write a story about this.

This. The whole argument only holds because you can choose `isspace` to return false for '\0'. You should be able to choose whichever sentinel fits to the required invariant, and C's global string "sentinel" is less useful in that regard. If you need a sentinel you should be able to push one beforehand anyway.

Calling out to array libraries in an interpreter (Python+Numpy, MATLAB, whatever) leaves a lot of optimizations on the table. The abstraction is not zero-cost.

For example, the simple array expression v+cw (where v,w are vectors and c is a scalar) can be calculated using fused multiply-add instructions. But this is not possible when called in an interpreter, which has to make separate calls for each array operation. For the same reason, this same calculation may saturate the memory bus. This is not an issue with Julia or other compiled languages. Not sure how Numba and/or PyPy optimizes it.
1984 owes much to Orwell's boarding school (pre-Oxbridge) experiences. Orwell's having been second rate, they studied strictly to the test, and never read entire works, but I find it plausible he read The Republic on his own. Which leaves the question: does 1984 resemble The Republic because Orwell was directly making fun of Plato's ideas[1], or because his school was stanning Jowett who was stanning the greeks, and playing telephone with Plato produces Oceania?

[1] Goldstein explicitly states the Inner Party / guardians are a meritocracy. (Orwell's observation on equality of educational chances is that children of the Inner Party do not in principle become inner party members themselves.) Life is difficult for the Outer Party, because, having failed their quals, they must rely on ideology over aptitude to keep their positions. (The yanks, innovative as ever, have shown us the IngSoc model works even better with two mutually antagonistic yet still self-policing outer parties. Competition between outer parties frees up inner party members to do, without having to waste time keeping everyone else down, whatever it is that inner party people do.)

The Adobe situation is simply because it's such a good product suite. You can transition away but the pain points of using other software can be high enough to warrant paying for the software[0]. As for why the majority of users and businesses still pay for creative cloud, it's probably because they do see the value of receiving updates and bugfixes effectively forever.

yes, since the code is pretty modular. All the changes that one needs to make are in the data_manager.py file. There is a single function that loads the stocks data which can easily be changed.

Glad to know that. How did it go?

As for realtime data, this can easily work with real time data as well with some small adjustments.
The part about separate upgrades not being able to access existing data is not accurate.

You can use a container that is shared between more than one app - this is not an import/export scheme.
>"The near field and far field are regions of the electromagnetic field (EM) around an object, such as a transmitting antenna, or the result of radiation scattering off an object. Non-radiative 'near-field' behaviors dominate close to the antenna or scattering object, while electromagnetic radiation 'far-field' behaviors dominate at greater distances.

Far-field E (electric) and B (magnetic) field strength decreases as the distance from the source increases, resulting in an

inverse-square law

for the radiated power intensity of electromagnetic radiation. By contrast, near-field E and B strength decrease more rapidly with distance: the radiative field decreases by the

inverse-distance squared

, the reactive field by an

inverse cubed law

, resulting in a diminished power in the parts of the electric field by an

inverse fourth-power and sixth-power

, respectively. The rapid drop in power contained in the near-field ensures that effects due to the near-field essentially vanish a few wavelengths away from the radiating part of the antenna."

PDS: Boy, it sure seems that antennas and EM fields have all sorts of

inverse N power

laws governing various properties/attributes/aspects of them.

I think that it would be an interesting future project to first enumerate all of the N power properties/attributes, and then see if there are any gaps in that table, for example, what field or fields are produced which decline relative to distance and the inverse fifth power?

Or, if there turns out to be none... then how would such a field or fields be created? And how would they be measured?

Oh, it might not have any applications!

But it would be tremendous for understanding...

Anyway, I think there might be a lot of room for research in this area...

Not all antennas, fields, power sources, frequency generators, mixers, and field calculaton math, are created equal, let's remember...

Short answer is that yes, there are other options. But they're always vastly more complex and would require actual work to use. Why bother with all that when I can just issue a GET or POST to a simple HTTP endpoint (no auth/headers required) and have IFTTT fill in the title, message, link (if the notification is tapped), and image with the values in the uploaded JSON object?

Another way of looking at it is that your counterargument to 'business just does what it wants with no regard to the needs of consumers' is 'business just does what it wants with no regard to the needs of consumers.'
That’s unfortunate. IFTTT is not worth that much for most uses.

Except for T-Mobile which is using both 600MHz and 2.5GHz spectrum for 5G. The 2.5 spectrum aquired when they bought Sprint has just the right balance of bandwidth (300Mbps avg) and ability to penetrate walls and travel large distances. They do have to spend a lot of Capex to increase backhaul to the cell sites to make it happen though.

This is very much the case. Arduino gives you a nice board with a decent power circuit, clock circuit with crystal oscillator, strips of headers to plug wires into, a USB connector, UART to USB adapter, and often other goodies. The exact same MCU, the ATMega328P can be had for $2.08 each[0], or less if you buy in bulk.

For your $2, you get:

* An internal oscillator which lets you run without an external clock circuit (typically limited to around 8MHz, and can cause clock drift, so not good of accurate timing is important).

* Hardware UART interfacing logic

* Hardware SPI interfacing logic

* Hardware I2C interfacing logic

* Several ADCs

* 23 GPIOs

* 2kB data memory

* 1kB EEPROM

* 32kb flash memroy

There are other microcontrollers out there, each with their own trade-offs. I personally like AVRs, as they have good quality open source compilers, you can mooch off the Arduino community for libraries[3], and in-circuit programmers can be had for cheap[1].

Ultimately, it boils down to absolute numbers.

You need a large enough population of skilled programmers that you can reasonably count on finding enough that are ready to move on and good enough for your project, and enough ongoing projects to keep them all busy. The number of companies that have little projects doesn't figure, nor the size of the companies. A list of big companies using it is actually the least informative, because all it takes is one person using, out of the many thousands there, to say "the company" is using it.

It would be surprising if there were two hundred paid Rust jobs already, and astonishing if there were a thousand. It needs to get to a hundred times that to have a chance to survive, and in only a few years. Ada got there and died anyway.
