I worked on some echosounders a few years ago that were bare metal, and before that some power management equipment.

Though if I was doing it again I'd probably have a bare-metal chip running the timing critical, and throw a cheap arm core on there running linux just to make life easier.

And I'm pretty sure I could probably do away with the bare-metal and just pin some userspace code to a core and it'd work just as well.

If you listen to the linked podcast you'll learn that it in fact may qualify as a protected class, and that there is currently a pending lawsuit that may rule on this.
No, that wasn't the job of the Electoral College. It was to make it so a demagogue like Trump had to win more than just the nine largest states to take power.
And yet none of that goodness counts because they decided not to do KYC.
I am just a regular unhyphenated American at a FANG, and I've never gotten a job offer when any of my interviewers were Hindustani. Coincidence, maybe? I think this particular nepotism is not exclusively internecine.
Off topic. When something is on the tip of my tongue, I don't search for it because I have a strange belief that what my mind is trying to do to remember it is fire off neurons associated with the thought or idea, near it, to create the action potential. It is strange that I will eventually remember it within hours or the next day. When the action potential fires the neuron, dendrites are formed between neurons strengthening the memory.

I wonder if there is any truth to that notion? That to solidify a memory, there can't be outside help, that electric chemical signal has to trigger firing the neurons associated with the memory to strengthen their connections.
You are in a sense both right and in another sense not quite so. You are right in that the language designers went to great lengths to maintain backward compatibility. So all my C++98/C++03 skills are still relevant today. When i see kids say how "modern and better" is C++11/xx i always reply, go read Coplien, Barton & Nackman, Koenig to understand where it all came from. On the other hand the cognitive overload imposed by the new features is substantial and there is a non-trivial learning curve even for experienced developers. Beginners have even more difficulty getting started. Result? Everybody lives within their "familiar subset" of the language. So codebases can be in C++ and yet two different developers can have difficulty understanding each other's codebase.
Good ZIF sockets for DIP component costs just as much
I'll add that they have a fantastic API, by crypto exchange standards. Worst, by far, is OKEx.
Stfu liberal cunt.

You fuckers are burning down cities, and murdering the economy.

Go fuck yourself.
I have Indian heritage, and I’m clueless about this. Are there dog whistles I’m missing?
Note that in many states, caste and other ancestry discrimination is unambiguously protected. There have been any number of suits claiming the Civil Rights Act prohibits caste-based discrimination; I don't think there are any high-level rulings about whether it does, but the basic argument doesn't seem implausible.
I'm not sure how that's relevant.

I'm American and I've been running Windows since the 80s and Linux since the 90s, which are the OSes we're talking about.
For professional athlete, the risk of not playing is greater than the risk from covid.
The target audience for such things probably only has one computer, and has never even heard of a KVM switch.
The same thing you should do if your team leader says they don’t want to hire any other subgroup because of discriminatory reasons. Just to be clear, this is exactly equivalent to and just as bad as racism in every way.
Based on the language in this comment, I can't help but imagine you somehow let your internal biases affect your behavior and language during these interviews.
My god, facial recognition that doesn’t accurately detect PoC? Who would have thought?

More seriously at this point why does any company shipped any kind of facial recognition software without verifying such catastrophic accuracy problems don’t occur?

In the past you could maybe argue that it was new enough to be a poorly understood problem, but for years now the most basic validation checks should include racial bias testing.

How should I feel about Snowden?

On the one hand, I served in the US military, took an oath, love my country, and value keeping my word. I have little respect for someone who went into a position of trust with intent to betray.

On the other hand, his actions brought to light questionable activity by our intelligence service.

I just don't know. It seems weird but I kinda don't care what happens to him.
I think a big factor is fewer people starting families. Single adults tend to latch onto radical politics as a source of meaning
You'd be surprised I guess.
If you're not interested in running this yourself, NextDNS is worth a look. Not affiliated with them, just like their service.
How do you know if someone is fishing for someone's caste or the markers thereof? Sadly, I wouldn't necessarily even know if a colleague was doing this unless they were really direct about it.
I think this is a controversial reality that often gets silenced. Even between different cultures and castes from the Indian subcontinent there appear to be clear and discriminate striations[1] that few people in my experience talk about. I think it's a serious issue with the millenial and younger generations of non-Indian American citizens.

Once I worked with a group that was run by a brahmin hindi speaker and a group of Tamils was under her. It was really weird to see them speak English to each other since neither spoke each others' native tongue. She was not very nice to the Tamils and spent most of her time planning for ostentatious Diwali celebrations in the office.

The US has no place for this kind of discrimination. We strive to be (I hope) a meritocracy.

There has been a lot of outrage over the past week in India over the rape of a lower caste woman by upper castes. The police sided with the culprits and forced the family to cremate the victim to destroy evidence.
This is a common tactic by upper castes to spread terror and keep the lower castes in line. Goes to show how entrenched the system is especially outside the big cities.
Slim.AI | REMOTE or Seattle | Full-time | Linux System and Kernel Developer | https://github.com/slim-ai/engineering

I'm the CTO at the company and I'm looking for someone who likes exploring Linux system internals and who likes building system profiling, debugging, performance monitoring, system security or other fun tools leveraging the low level system capabilities in Linux. Do you know the difference between tracepoints and kprobes in eBPF? If so, I'd love to chat :-)

We are a funded seed stage startup in the developer tooling and DevOps space empowering developers to build and run their cloud-native applications. The current product is focusing on containers and the friction around them.

We are building a brand new engineering team. We are developer friendly, low on process with no mind-numbing bureaucracy or micromanagement. We are looking for people who'll be excited to be a part of the engineering team in an early stage startup during its inception phase building modern cloud-native applications the right way.

You can find out more about the mission, how we work and the roles here: https://github.com/slim-ai/engineering

"Text, Calls, and Data are unlimited. Peak data users may be compressed to peak average"

What does this mean, exactly? At what point does "compression" kick in, and what does "compression" entail?
It's weirdly ironic that you cited an article that doesn't support what you're asserting in response to a comment complaining about, among other things, your giving an irrelevant example that does not address the original paper.
This is essentially an interactive survey. I'm sure they can use the insights to drive marketing initiatives for themselves and advertising clients
No, I've had similar experiences. I check the "two or more races" category where applicable.
wasn't glamor slow as hell?

Which was that speed hack BTW?
I feel like if this were true (searching doesn’t strengthen the original memory), it would lead to a dramatic difference in a cohort’s ability to remember trivial information that they learned a long time ago, but it also seems really hard to perform a trial for something like this.
Seems like the problem isn't that random US citizens can (and do, in large numbers) easily bypass the IP blocking, but that the executives demonstrably knew of specific US citizens who were using the platform and had not gone through any KYC.
Zuckeberg, I guess. But when he gets older, he'll pick a CEO and vanish from the public scene, just like Brin, Page and Gates.
I haven't although I do have several matching symptoms for about 10 years. I had a blood test done but nothing was out of the ordinary; I'll have to ask for it specifically perhaps.
Spreading to nursing home doesn't have to be inevitable. Swedish government has admitted they could have handled this a lot better. I think this time around they will not duck it up again, making the strategy look even better
> and she corrected herself

I believe she did the exact opposite. (You could argue she meant "shouldn't have done that" - I guess you'd have to be there to know) Acknowledged that she wanted to do this, so it was conscious, not just a bad habit. And acknowledged that she shouldn't talk about it - not that she shouldn't have done it.
100W really isn’t that much power comparatively speaking to things that are currently regulated. The issue is the specific circumstances (tiny copper traces feeding into SMT components), not the fact that it’s 100W of power alone.

> She did not express anything malicious

Well, imagine that you, a white-presenting man (what does _that_ mean) were on a phone interview with someone you couldn't see, and afterwards, you said something like, "I was trying to determine if they were Black."

I'm not going to make judgement on whether that's a fair statement or not - what I am curious about is whether you think that you'd get the same kind of defense - would there be someone saying that you weren't malicious?
Nothing wrong with gambling per se...something seems wrong with facebook running what is essentially a global gambling system to me though...

Except, unlike in most poker hands, those have far reaching global consequences
Based on the language in this comment, I can't help but imagine you judge everyone using similarly low amounts of information about their conduct and actions.
They're cheap, but they charge for everything, including water, snacks, and carry on items that don't fit underneath the seat in front of you. They also apparently don't have priority for gates at airports, as I've had to wait for over half an hour for a gate to clear after landing on a OAK-LAS flight (a <90 minute flight).

This may have changed, but they also didn't do precheck a few years ago.

Oh, and expect to hear about their credit card offer during the flight. You can get a spirit points voucher for applying today, and can leave the application with your flight attendant as you leave the plane.

That being said, they do get you from point A to B relatively cheaply, as long as you're willing to live with the constraints of a low cost carrier.
I work in this field

The pay is poor compared to SaaS/AIML/etc

Hardware folks (and firmware) are always asking how to retrain and move into mainstream SWE. Its not worth it.
This seems like a strange thing for Facebook to build. I'm sure I'm missing some grand idea of why Facebook would make this. I just don't see how they get much out of this and how it fits into their mission.

Edit: I missed that this was coming out of NPE (New Product Experiments). Still I'm not sure why this would make sense for FB to run, but it's less odd knowing that it's an experiment.
I don't think Snowden got into the military with the intent to betray. In fact, he repeatedly escalated his concerns about illegal behavior to his superiors. Only after those avenues were exhausted did he go public.

I loved using React/Inferno + MobX too.

Right now I find myself being much more productive with Svelte which already includes a reactive primitive out of the box (writable/readable) that can be used with classes too.
Cellular immunology--a big debate in the 1970s was whether cells primarily recognize self or non-self. Sequencing completely smashed the non-self people.

The Tree of Life--entire species had to get transferred around due to sequencing.

There are other areas of biology as well that simply got nuked once you could sequence things accurately.

We forget about them because it's been about 30 years (one tenure length) since PCR and sequencing became commonplace.

The (Not Failing) New York Times - How the NYT pivoted into subscription
It so interesting, as a 3rd gen Singaporean Indian, no one mentions caste here. In fact most of my Indian friends and I don't even know our caste at all (Even those who are religious enough not to eat beef)
I'm Indian and I've heard things like "koncha jaticha" said casually in a professional setting... Meaning which caste are you?

I was born in India and moved here when I was in school. It was shocking to me as well when I heard stuff like this.
I have to admit it's somewhat amusing to see how surprised some people are to realize that people who aren't white can be racist too. Humans don't change much culture to culture once you get past a lot of the more superficial stuff.
I've witnessed coworkers asking "awkward questions" before. I take notes and report it to HR. YMMV, not all HR departments are created equally. If your employer doesn't take it seriously, you can send an anonymous note to the candidate, which could support a lawsuit or complaint to the labor board. They might change their tune
> Social media is inherently unhealthy and attracts people with unhealthy lifestyles and choices.

Internet is not social media.
As I understand it, these distros aren't forks at all. Promoting them would give an emacs beginner a better onboarding experience, and make it less likely that prospective new users give up in frustration.
I find myself in between. I've seen many terminfo's set to other things, which don't work, or have to be set every time I'm connecting to a new server which is too much extra work for every new server in my opinion. So I always just set it to xterm-256color and forget it

The oath is to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. A lot of people seem to be confused about who the real enemies of the Constitution (particularly the Fourth Amendment) are.

Put another way: Hopefully you were taught that it is your duty not to obey an unlawful order from a superior.

I don't know where you got the idea that he began his career with an intent to leak details of the government's illegal actions. According to him, he came across the report that finally led to the decision purely by accident.
This is big news. What is interesting about this to me is that unlike many crypocurrency exchanges, bitmex only deals in derivatives. What this means for them is that you can only deposit BTC, and only take out BTC. So they do not give anyone USD, and they do not deposit or withdraw money from anyone's bank.

It is also, by far, the best way to gain leverage in cryptocurrency products, with lower fees, great security, and even a wonderful blog and transparency.

I'm interested to what extent the government believes the BSA needs to apply to this, since a different area of the government (IRS) decided BTC was not even a currency. Of course, all of the relevant governing bodies (of which there are many in the US) can all choose their own designations, which may result in apparent inconsistencies, but I wonder to what extent they were warned about this beforehand.

What is also interesting is that Bitmex did not allow US residents to use their exchange via blocking US IP addresses and asking for country of residence, aside from perhaps the first few months. Some US residents would use a VPN and use it instead, but they (the client) would have to lie to Bitmex in doing so. It appears that's what the argument here is - that they did a poor job, knowingly so, of stopping US residents from using their services. BitMex was, over time, implementing tougher KYC, but currently it's not required by all of their clients for a few more months.
From a company's perspective, it must suck to get nagged or even sued over GPL compliance and then have no one use the code. So combining enforcement with firmware development is a much more positive approach that will hopefully generate less ill will.
I was also curious. Found it on wiki:

(ph), a notation used in transcripts to indicate that the transcriber does not know the spelling, usually of a name, and has spelled it as it was pronounced (phonetically)
This mirrors what I saw as a employee of a non-semiconductor company in the middle of a big chip incubator.

Judging from the cars, the normal people making the most money were the tradesmen building the infrastructure for the tools. The chip guys seemed to work long hours, but relatively few were expressing their compensation with tokens. They also seemed to purge people between projects.
Visualizing the 200-Year History of U.S. Interest Rates
He is right. Again the cost is delta. Right now we are already paying 3k for our home. So an extra 4k per month is what we will be spending for the schools for 2 kids. I think thats reasonable.

Also not all investment is lost as the money is going towards equity ( even though its negligible in the initial years ). Wish the solution could be much simpler :)
This is what I find most exciting, ever since I ran across the story of Superforecasters, who supposedly develop techniques to narrow down the probabilities of specific future events within very accurate bounds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superforecasting:_The_Art_and_...

A lot of work has to be done on overcoming cognitive biases and accounting for black swan events in order to attain high level performance.
I left to grow and ended up sort of becoming an extractor / compliance / lab testing blend.

I feel like I've gotten to meet some of the best grow-room talent and they really are magicians. I've heard the same line of "they are just plants, how hard can it be?" from farms and two have failed, one is about to. If you don't hire and pay to retain talent (like FANNG does), you end up losing entire crops. A solid grower and management that responds to problems has really been the secret.

That being said, I've only seen the workhorses get beaten without many oats spread around. YMMV.
Try have a go at what regulation should look like. Someone some day wil have an idea to good to ignore.

I would like to see more dynamic laws designed to be as practical as possible. If we need moderation in public speech the parts of the process should go though a formal process. platforms would simply implement spec rather than innovate social engineering.
Desi caste really is ethnicity which is a protected class- it is thousands of endogamous communities that have been that way for a long time. They might not look as distinct from each other as say Tutsis and Hutus, but I don't think you could formulate a definition of ethnicity that excludes South Asian castes.
If the merchant attempts to continue to charge you, it's because they have some argument that they're authorised to (e.g. they didn't receive your cancellation request). Getting a credit card charge you can dispute gives you more visibility and makes it easier to show good faith.
Do you have an English source on this reported incident? It sounds beyond modern day concept of cruelty.
