>> access to materials and tools becomes an economic barrier

I'm not sure that's true anymore. PCB fabrication is dirt cheap from the Chinese fabs. In terms of design, KiCAD is free and perfectly usable. Both design and assembly take some practice, sure, but they are valuable skills to learn.

There's value in DIP packages for breadboarding, so you can get going quickly and iterate the design, but for anything permanent or semi-permanent, I don't see a big impact.
This theory would be relatively easy to verify by comparing against other 'rich' professions.

I think the reason is much simpler though - a small but significant number of our colleagues continue to make it horrible for women to remain in the industry, and casting it as women wanting to leave for families sits pretty poorly with me.
Being able to book my own flights was my favourite perk at the last travel-heavy job I had. I’d get the credit card points on booking the flight (that I would later expense), and the miles from the flight. I’d get enough points for a couple of free (and upgraded) international flights per year.

The loyalty program didn’t really work on me though, because I’d fly enough that I managed to get into the top loyalty category on each of the major programs.

"All lives matter" is not and has never been neutral.
You can't really know history without paying tens of thousands of dollars to a university -- and it has to be a university that pays big salaries to professors too. Not one of those cheap ones. Then the professors will say that you've really learned something.
But this is because of strange racial issues. Americans expect "Muslims" to all be uniformly brown (I remember circa 9/11 the slur "sand n#$%r" was common) , but Afghans and Iranians have whiter skin and often eyes that are not black. And then we decode that as "this is beauty and it's surprising that there is beauty among these people".

I am looking for part-time work with 20 hours/week of commitment.
I think this fairly well points out that we do not actually mean the same thing when we say “high” and “low”. Although, I will concede that the two terms are often interchangeable and often misused.

Correct me if I’m reading you wrongly, but It seems to me when you say high level you’re offering philosophy up as an umbrella where all things that fall beneath it are then equivocated.

My argument is that I do not believe this. I believe philosophy is a tool best used to build things up from the bottom. I think when physics asks a question of itself, we can safely call that philosophy. In much the same way, it is also philosophy when we ask ourselves if what we are doing is morally “right”. Same tool, vastly different jobs. With little to no connection inherent between the jobs themselves.

This would be the same in mathematics if I were to offer an axiom in traditional number theory (specifically all positive integers in a base 10 system). I would then need to argue that my proposed axiom did not apply also to propositional calculus, as no reasonable mathematical would believe that they were equivalent. This is not to say there is no overlap, there very well may be if interpreted correctly. But it does not by its existence imply they should be the same thing.

This is also where I think we agree. For me physics’ ability to question its axioms are in fact what separates it from things like religious dogma. An axiom that is indisputable is dogma in a sense. So the reason why science is so powerful is this ability to question and not take results on faith. To remove philosophy from that would be to diminish what sets it apart.

So with the tool metaphor I’d just say agin that not all practitioners use their tools wisely. But this does not mean we should throw out all of our hammers just because we see someone using one upside down.

I would also suggest reading more on the topic of ethics in philosophy. I think you may find that the field is far more scientific then you believe it to be. You’ll also note that there are many similarities in its logic and methods of categorization. The issue is simply that it is much more difficult to answer questions in ethics than it is to find out what happens to an object on a frictionless plane. And if physics is the one true answer, than not much can be considered purely human made. As humans abide the same physical laws that frictionless planes do.

As a note, if you are going to go all post-modern, you should go all the way. Inconsistency is bad.

"History is interpretation. It isn't fact. It isn't science."

Science is interpretation. Scientists are concerned about maintaining their dominant narrative. "Facts" are very scarce on the ground. (I'm willing to act as if Mumbai exists, but I have no personal experience of it and therefore no positive reason to believe it does.)

In more serious terms, a good academic historian will point to evidence as a way to explain why they want you to believe some statement, and---because they recognize the perils of what they're doing---many of them will complain about potentially misleading modifications to that evidence.
Replacing the word master in ctrl-r fashion. Master as a word has a far more deeper history than just master-slave
I may be off, but the heart of the issue to me is that the internet is beginning to resemble the world at large, because the world at large realized that the internet was another vehicle for profit.

The goals Mozilla has mentioned here are important, but I don't think they quite get at the crux of the issue: the rulebook our society plays by is structured in a way that the development of these symptoms is almost inevitable.

The hard thing is you can't really begin to point out these structural issue without people shutting you down: saying that's the way things have always been (it's not), there's no other way (there is), denying that it's even a problem, or that it's something we just have to deal with.

Until we are structured in a way where we can work for the benefit of each other and ourselves, on our own accord, on our own time, this is the slope of the hill we'll keep rolling down.

Let's build open ecosystems and push back, but it is imperative we recognize the game is slanted against that.

What you said is rarely stated in public, but I've often felt it too: OTP obscures the underlying beauty of the Erlang platform.

OTP is well engineered of course, but the basic notion of the spawn -> receive -> loop cycle is so clean and illuminating that I wish newbies would hold out before learning OTP sometimes.

It's natural to think of case-specific abstractions around the primitives that are more germane to the domain at hand than OTP's.
That would involve admitting that Mercurial got it right fifteen years ago.

Yes, no change locally. This is the company deciding how they want repos started on their service to operate by default. That's it.

I'm surprised it's drawing so much ire.
They all require certain ID verification beyond some balance. Bitmex doesn't, which made it popular by US customers. Also, all of them are terrible for creating a synthetic USD while Bitmex is pretty darn good for that.
This would be usefully true were it not for the fact that laypersons understand that the past was not black-and-white and silent. Nobody other than Calvin is misled into thinking that those records are faithful recreations of color and sound. But without those obvious markers, people lose their incredulity. What you're seeing in these modified records pretends to be real in a way that the originals do not.

I would expect tech people to understand the risks here by comparison to using AI to perform image upscaling: you are inventing detail based on what the AI expects to see. For artificial works, this is often great. For, say, a police department trying to upscale grainy CCTV footage, it produces a work of fiction that has the potential to become outright dangerous.

It's fine to present these as works of art, and with the proper context, even as records of history. But pop culture rapidly divorces the art from the context, and I would expect any responsible historian to be extremely clear about the processes use here, even to the point of protest (it is analogous to how astronomers have a hard time expressing to people that false-color photography and artistic illustrations of far-off bodies do not represent reality).
I think I'd be pretty confused in both cases—I've never seen people use "trunk" as a branch name, so I don't know what it would mean to them. I mean, personally I think "trunk" makes the most sense as the default branch, so I would like to assume that's the default branch, but, with 2 or 3 of them, I'd mostly wonder how they all got there.

I'm well aware that Paul Sellers uses machine milled / planed / dimensioned lumber. I am quite comfortable starting with rough sawn boards straight off the mill (I'm not crazy enough to re-saw logs by hand). Yes, it requires effort and depending on the size of the project I will either use S4S wood or rip, flatten and true boards by hand.

However if I were to have machines in my shop I'd get a bandsaw first, then a jointer/planer. I'm mostly limited by physical space, not self-imposed constraints, although it is very fulfilling to build something without electricity.

Great, another "hackers are cyber criminals" blog.

Btw, every section is numbered "1." on my Android's Chrome.
This is already what happens.

Just like the web (W3C?) was a front for microsoft taking over from Netscape, and now Google taking over from everyone else, the linux foundation et al are just fronts for Google et al to have whatever they want on the kernel and to prevent any and all GPL3 "corruption" of their take-take-take business practices.

GNU/Linux is old news, everyone runs BIGCORP/Linux today. You probably have more code from Google/Amazon/etc than GNU in any modern distro.

Just look at all the effort devoted to systemd (which is a blatant copy of oracle/windows service management) or everyone eating up the hype of zsh on macs (which is nothing but a spin from apple: Look how this new shell is so much better, oh bash is going to be GPLv3, no this has nothing to do with it, look how shiny is zsh!)

GPLv3 will set you free!
I replied to a request to "make a case" that Costolo's tweet doesn't violate Twitter’s TOS.

6 months in, Agda is just as cryptic as it was on day 1.
Yes, but the argument of "detriment to everyone" is only used to further lengthen sentences, but never address any of the inputs that lead to such crime. And that's because of the draconian character of the US concerning law and punishment.
Yeah, I understand this argument but I think it's bad philosophy. You need to think 4-dimensionally: everyone was a "theoretical" person if you go back far enough and making rules that harm people in the future but not in the present leads to wild temporal inconsistencies.

Perhaps it's clearer to think about a person-slot of a particular type in a particular time. If I go back to say 1930, you were probably just a person-slot, not an actual person.
I totally in no way meant to imply that camerawork has somehow less artistic value than any other medium, but just as pencil and paper can be used to produce technical drawings of architecture and field sketches to outline geography, documentary footage can be recorded with the primary intent of capturing a scene and setting before rendering a creative work.
>GPT-2 is not a dictionary.

Probably a corruption of the fact that the protocol to get HDMI out of the Switch is a proprietary alt-mode, which is why standard docks and USB-C to HDMI adapters don't work. But USB-PD chargers are very much intended to work.

The docks that do work generally reversed-engineered the proprietary protocol, and some have damaged Switches because they got details wrong.
- Years of muscle memory
- git itself uses master
- a lot of tooling / commands expect master do they now need to be aware of main vs master
- I understand the need for some to allow to change the default but just changing it for everyone by default is a step to far
That is a better name in all ways.

It might upset people who live in former war zones though. I can't speculate there.
Oh great. "Master" is now "main".

Let's check the etymology of "main":

---

Old English mægen (Mercian megen) "power, bodily strength; force, violent effort; strength of mind or will; efficacy; supernatural power," from Proto-Germanic maginam "power" (source also of Old High German megin "strength, power, ability"), suffixed form of PIE root magh- "to be able, have power."

Original sense of "power" is preserved in phrase might and main. Also used in Middle English for "royal power or authority" (c. 1400), "military strength" (c. 1300), "application of force" (c. 1300). Meaning "chief or main part" (c. 1600) now is archaic or obsolete. Meaning "principal duct, pipe, or channel in a utility system" is first recorded 1727 in main drain.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/main

Maybe it's an improvement. But not a big one (oh wait, 'big' is also 'power').
I tend to take a different approach. I'll hope on one of the Discord servers I'm on, and ask if anyone is working on anything and needs help.

I like incremental games so I usually end up helping out people who are new to making them add things like save systems, or sprucing up their CSS so everything aligns better.

Sure it's not as grand as contributing to something used by a ton of people, but I'm not sure I'm good enough to be able to do that.

I don't know what you mean by factual distance. Those buildings and people were definitely not black, white or gray. Now they've got a color which is (in most cases) much closer to the original. The original recording was probably also distorted in other ways as well.

You might say you're not looking at the (probably) only reliable source of information for that particular scene, but that's an entirely different proposition.
Hold on -- every capture of reality, whether it's a 100-year-old black and white video camera or a modern day 3d video -- "lies" to you. There is no such thing as an objective capture of reality. Media is inherently representative, from the limitations of the medium itself to the biases of the recorder in what they choose to focus on and what they choose to not film. Hell, even our own eyes lie to us frequently.
I don't have a record, but, through the extracurricular volunteer work I've done for the last 40 years, I've had a lot of interaction with people who have spent some quality time, getting free room and board; from Minimum Security Federal pens, to supermax and 23-hour solitary.

One thing that I can tell you, is that there's no way to apply "one size fits all" templates to them all. Some will shine like you wouldn't believe, if given the chance, and some would, at best, be crappy employees. I doubt there would be a problem with workplace violence, with most, but it's entirely possible that you could end up with a "dud."

In short, each case needs to be handled on an individual basis, with careful, extensive human interaction. Lots of "tell me a story" interviews. Coding tests are likely to be useless.

Since that kind of employee search seems to be a thing of the past, in our industry, it can be tough for these folks to get in the door. This woman went to bat for her friend. There's not a whole lot of folks willing to do that.

BTW: The US is horrible for that kind of thing. Even a small misdemeanor can be a scarlet letter for life. I knew a guy that was busted in [an Ivy-League] college for pot (a misdemeanor), and pursued a career in banking. Even a quarter-century later, that bust followed him, and stunted his chances (he was real good).

One of the most intelligent people I ever met (and I have met a lot of really smart people) was a violent felon that went away at 17, and was profoundly twisted by the experience. He was never able to readjust properly. That marvelous intellect was never able to benefit us.

I have three projects in progress and chose AVRs.

Part of it is the voltage flexibility that dragontamer mentioned — two run off USB power and include 5V SPI LEDs, and one runs off unregulated 3×AA.

The other part is simplicity and directness — I can just write *PORT=0x42 rather than rely on some vendor BSP that doesn't address my use case and will be deprecated next month.
does the no-non-compete apply when you are still at your old job?

the reason non-competes are bad is because they could prevent you from having any job at all, but that doesn't mean that you should be allowed to have two competing jobs at the the same time.

I disagree with the criticism. Experiencing the original artifacts of history, like the original unenhanced film, is still possible. And totally understand that it's vital that that is still possible. But experiencing history is not just about experiencing its old, degraded artifacts. It's also useful and enlightening to experience history as it might actually have been back then.

Of course that's partially an illusion, and it's important to be aware of that. But it's still a useful illusion. It's not for nothing that many ancient ruins have been restored so people can get a better impression of what they were actually like. With ruins this is actually a lot more questionable than with film, because you actually change the original historic artifact (which is probably why nobody repaints those ancient statues that probably used to have colour). But we do restore even ancient paintings that have been darkened by the passing of time.

With that in mind, why would we not take this opportunity to create a much clearer window to the past?
