Wow. I'm pretty sure I fully understand every concept involved, but I doubt I could put it all together.

Oddly beautiful seeing it run too. And the gliders flowing around put me in mind a bit of the ants that run Pratchett's Hex.
Whilst competition has been pretty slow to improve speeds, there are an increasing number of altnets around the UK with small providers running their own FTTP networks. This is even happening in rural locations through organizations like B4RN. I wish it would move faster, but I'm glad that we have some competition - Corbynband would likely have nuked other providers, and I can only imagine the kind of filtering that would get applied to it. Hopefully good ISPs like Andrews & Arnold can stick around.
I remember in second and third grade we had the same thing, except, we were running pentium 2 and 3 machines around 1998. Our school lab had about 20-25 pc's, and all of them ran windows xp.

We filled every conceivable space on those machines with pirated copies of gameboy emulators and various pokemon roms.
It became a game of, will the computer admins ever realise, and if they do, will they do anything about it.

Long story short, they gave up trying to police it after about a year, when no matter what they tried, we always found another way to get the games back, in the process of course we learned quite a bit about computing (happy accident? Who cares, my love of computers started in that stupid class)
You seem to be implying that the home alternative of public schooling doesn't also accomplish these goals as well. Home schooling has a curriculum and standards just like public school does.

I'm not gonna blindly advocate for home schooling but I think anyone who cares enough about their kids' education to look into options other than public school probably also cares enough to pull it off if it's the option they wind up choosing.

>School is probably the best public invention to systematically distribute knowledge to the masses. Some like to point out "dropouts", "self-taught" geniuses or the "lucky few" as models instead of exceptions to the rule.

The further your kids are from the mean student the crappier the job the public school situation will do. It's like the difference between registering a new car at the DMV and bringing in a pile of papers to prove chain of custody on some junk that's only able to be street legal through some arcane technicality. The first transaction is painless. The latter is not. When you ask the system to do something it's well practiced at doing you get shit service.

>School's purpose is not to teach obedience or even getting a job. It is there to teach us critical thinking, and consequently, how to be a good citizen.

And if you think it's successful at that for any reasonable definition of "success" then you're clearly living in a different 2020 than I am.

Look through history, even before widespread government funded schooling everything was just as crap as it is today. You had just as many popuist leaders, pants on head retarded popular culture movements, witch hunts, all the same crap we have today. The only thing that's changed is that as society have become more advanced and richer we've become more able to avoid pain and violence.

Also, school is very much about obedience to an arbitrary system. They don't overtly state it but it's pretty damn obvious if you look at how the carrots and sticks are set up.

>An educated population is also less prone to fall into totalitarianism. Ex: Nazi Germany and Mao's China burned books and persecuted the educated (1984 style).

Sure. But it's pure lunacy to conflate what's good for society with what's good for any specific kid(s). There's definitely a lot of overlap but there's also a lot of non-overlap.

Interesting. It seems the concerns are about restocking rather than poisoning, and the warning signs don't mention the risk of contamination, although it seems advisories are put out when there is elevated risk: https://wildlife.ca.gov/fishing/ocean/health-advisories
Describing Red as Rebol3 like is not fair IMO, it goes beyond that in many aspects - there is a compiler, C-level dialect (Red/System), reactive framework, ...

Anyway, Arturo looks interesting and I'm looking forward to try it!
Because it's cheaper to have legal interns/contractors do this kind of work who are paid for enforcement not for PR. And to know how to handle these situations with tact and decency cost a lot more money. Also: trademark law is an opening for DDOS/spam attack: anyone can easily infringe, anyone can easily send threatening legal letter and now with social media, anyone can easily get outrage points up by posting legal letters online.
Fox "con" surely.
This is actually quite a good example that websites are bloated and this problem is tried to be solved or worked-around at the protocol level. Which is adding even more bloat and craft in terms of code complexity.

These are the two sides of complexity: It can create marvelous web applications and it can create no visible advantage.
Out of curiosity, does the firmware in the Compute Module allow for PXE boot?

Would be a neat way to handle corruptions of the SD / eMMC. Flick the power off through the Turing Pi's I2C, have one of the other nodes act as a PXE server, flick the power on again to the affected node, and have it pull in a tiny kernel and init-script through PXE that flashes the SD / eMMC with an image from the PXE node.
We used to get ~60Mbps in central Edinburgh. However, we moved out to a rural area and we get 22Mbps down and 1 up and that is really good for a house outside of a city or town.

Edit: We had a problem with our BT connection recently and I almost got a 4G connection from these folks: https://www.4g-internet.co.uk/

Edit: Actual fibre connectivity was going to be a few thousand just to get a quote... :-(
Your sentiment reminded me of a very niche game that I got once, but couldn't get people to actually play. You're supposed to just go about your day, observe the life around you and sorta daydream / imagine stuff on top of that and then write physical letters about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Profundis_(role-playing_gam...
This reminds me of 'Permutation City', one of my favourite sci-fi novels. Cellular automata play a pivotal role in this book, which, despite some small misgivings, has largely aged rather well.
Defense Dept study: low risk of coronavirus infection on a packed airline flight
I still find myself connecting with a line-buffered client to GET / and so on, from time to time. Even in 2020 it's still the handiest way to diagnose some issues.

I've always appreciated that most IETF protocols are text-oriented with line-buffered commands, and the option to speak the protocol directly in this fashion contributed enormously to my own understanding of SMTP, POP3, IMAP, IRC, NNTP, HTTP, FTP et al, and I always regretted not being to do the same with LDAP, SNMP, or BGP.
I'm surprised no comment so far mentioned four important aspects of traditional schooling that I believe should be repeated here:

1. More than just teaching the curriculum, schools are great for socializing with other children your age, learning how to share, how to deal with drama and to grow some empathy. Not to mention the benefits of getting used to rules, authorities and schedules.

2. Getting in contact with how other people live and with what others think, specially outside your family, can be enlightening sometimes. The handful of successful anecdotes shared here, besides falling as survival bias, don't represent cases of disfunctional families or families crazy towards subjects like religion, science, violence, racism or politics. For every happy family there is at least another one potentially raising sociopaths.

3. Many cases of child abuse are committed by family members, frequently by parents at their own home. Allowing children to miss school takes off from them the chance of a teacher noticing such abuses or at least teaching them the limits on their bodies and well being.

4. In some cases, and I'm not sure this applies to the US, schools are the best source of food for poor children (assuming it's free).

I understand that people in favor of home schooling are not saying that home schooling should be mandatory for everyone. So in this sense, only families able to provide a positive experience to children would try it. I'm afraid that when this rationale is even an option, families could wrongfully choose home schooling, sometimes with good intentions, sometimes not so much. And in the long run I'm afraid it could leat to less public funding for schools when people are pressured or at least influenced to try home schooling their kids.
Looks like there's active work going into it (1) (2), but Zig's lack of built-in http library has been a showstopper for me.

I've had a few small side projects I wanted to do which involved exposing an API.

The SATs have a ceiling well below four standard deviations above the mean. I’m skeptical that any test is properly calibrated at that level—-even with oversampling it’s very difficult to do properly.
That is already covered in prop 22 since it forces rideshare companies to give discount health benefits to drivers who drive a lot. It seems like a much better solution than AB5.
Fraud is illegal, wire fraud is a federal crime. You didn't really demonstrate a shred of intelligence yourself by praising scammers defrauding people, scammers that eventually got caught because of their complete stupidity.

Videos that are submitted in 60 FPS are only available in 60 FPS. It's getting more common as the cameras as getting cheaper.

Check this for example, you should only have the choice between 60 FPS options. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ

Videos that were submitted in 30 FPS remain as they were. It doesn't make sense to create new frames out of nothing indeed.
Give them a popup like "link your email to keep your data even after you switch devices"! Don't give them a cancel option though. Give them a "I want to lose my data" option. That will make them think.
Ask HN: Should I open source my reminder-as-a-service API?
I've spent quite some time building reminders service for my product and was really frustrated dealing with timezones, rescheduling, efficient concurrent timers, etc.

It would take some more effort to have it open source ready, but if enough people are interested I would do it.

Is this something you would find useful?
Prop 22 ensures minimum wage and health benefits for drivers without making them employees, why would you be against that?
Yes that was spectacularly dumb, considering how Intel grew big themselves: out-competing the high-end, big-bucks server and workstation vendors with low-end, mass-market CPUs that eventually, through economies of scale, made them obsolete. Yet Intel thought "eh this cheap, mass-market CPU that every household has dozens of will lead nowhere, lets sell it lol". they probably deluded themselves that they could do it in x86.
Except Boeing will be bailed out eternally since it's the US's only civil aircraft manufacturer and has lots of defense contracts.

Yes, a lot of people tend to move the mouse down the screen as they're reading. Having the pointer highlighted and then turn into a cursor and keep following your pointer is extremely distracting. I really don't understand what the appeal is.
> If you commit to work for the platform more than X number of hours in a regular basis, you are eligible for benefits. That means that you have a quota of worked hours to meet.

That is in Prop 22, it is a compromise where drivers who drives a lot are eligible for benefits.

I'm not entirely sure I've heard anyone express this before. What do you like about it?
Yes, left it stock, I hate loud bikes too!
ASML also relies on components and engineering from Trumpf for EUV light sources and Zeiss for optics, both German.
Interesting - so theoretically one could run the process off photovoltaics? Didn't know that!

Still, if we had to change to renewable sources of energy to run these processes tomorrow,the price would likely jump so enormously that their value would be mostly in niche applications.
For me personally, Rust was a challenge. Most programming languages are more or less the same. But Rust forced me to think in a way I've never encountered before. I guess this is also why many people like it.
Many commenters pointed out that this is not true: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/11/trademark-law-does-not...
There has been so much legislation going on in the past couple of years to make sure a lot of financial reporting happens to the US, to an extent that some chinese instutions flat out refused taking payments from US based payment providers simply to avoid that reporting burden.

We would be kidding ourselves if we denied the geopolitical implications of that reporting burden. For Taiwan for example every single international transaction is proxied through a US bank.

I believe the geopolitics behind it is to ensure that the US is able to enforce their international sanctions. Anything bypassing that definitely a thorn in their eyes.

However we shouldn't forget that there are those that would like to reduce the reliance on those systems. So while US banks may cut off access other countries may not.

EDIT: yes, the US is not the only country doing that. Iran for example while bartering with China also completely banned cryptocurrencies for the longest time. Then finally allowed blockchain applications but only if they are used for non payment purposes.

Should note that discord defaults to 64kb/s but goes up to 96kb/s for free, it is just a slider in the voice channel settings. and then depending on the "Boost" level of the server you can go up to 128/256/384 kb/s.
"No, thank you, I am just browsing."
Rust and Zig target different audiences though. It's often been said before, but Rust is mainly a C++ replacement, while Zig is mainly a C replacement. I have switched from C++ as my default-language to C a few years ago, and having dabbled a bit in both, I feel a lot more attracted to Zig than Rust for future projects (and mostly for the same reasons why I switched from C++ to C).

If Zig can settle in the niche that C is used for today (including "nearby" areas where C programmers consider switching to a higher-level language), then it is already a great success. I think (rather: hope) what we will see in the future is that no single language will dominate certain fields anymore like it was the case in the 90's and early 00's.

Rust doesn't need to fit into every niche, and it would be harmful to bend Rust in a way that it fits everywhere. It would end up as a "kitchen-sink language" with tons of competing concepts and ideas. This is exactly what's currently killing C++.
Correct: Raspberry Pi don't have the absolute right to prevent you from having websites with "raspberry-pi" in the domain name. If you treat this document as legal advice from RPi, it was not written in good faith.

If you treat it as a licensing agreement or a contract instead, it would be plausible to include clauses like this. "You may do A, B and C, but you may not do D" = "by entering into this agreement you acquire the rights to do A, B and C in return for foregoing the right to do D". That would be perfectly fine.

I don't see anything in the document that grants you rights you didn't already have (to use RPi's IP only in accordance with fair use). Additionally, it describes itself as "guidelines" and never as a contract or an agreement. So, bad faith it is.

Here's a substantial review of the treatment of "gripe sites" in US law [0]. In general, the legal situation has been that if your site is non-commercial, then your use of the trademark, including in a domain name, is protected free speech.

Agreed. One thing though is if a language is simple because it's early or if simplicity is a core value to the language development. A lot of "simple" languages just become complex over time as they get more users and feature requests.
That is correct, trademark law is only concerned about the mark the traders themselves use. You can trademark a bunch of stuff, do nothing with it, and sue the pants of anyone who comes near it if you want: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_troll
Trademarks don't have a "power level". They don't get weaker except in special circumstances.

Oh most definitely - it's neither an efficient or ideal way to learn those things. Unless there's dedicated thought to teaching them though, it could be an issue as well.

I'm certainly not defending the way it worked out, but we focus on an idealised education from the perspective of the learner (i.e. curiosity, passion, zest for self improvement), it might not prepare them if they end up in more traditional scenarios. Fully support the notion of it being taught like a traditional subject, just that it's important those lessons don't get lost (which I can foresee happening).

If the light behind your eyes hasn't been diminished by the experiences at school, it's likely it'll be extinguished in less than ideal real-world scenarios. I'd hate to see the joy of someone who genuinely has a zest of learning and curiosity to be crushed the minute they come across the things a lot of us deal with on a daily basis.
I didn't say that in a despective way at all. My only point is that Red - as far I've seen it at least - tries to maintain a great deal of compatibility with Rebol, while Arturo used it as a starting point. (Arturo can be run as valid Rebol code, only if you stick to the absolute basics)

Even using it as an inspiration, it's obvious that I absolutely respect both projects.

Again, what I'm trying to do is take the good points and create something completely new.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback/ideas/suggestion/anything. I'm all ears! :)

(Code contributions are also 100% welcome!)
Yes, this is what I'm saying. So in this this case you're trying to make a product that is both superior in terms of convenience, features and price AND has privacy included. If you manage to do that, then yes, there is a chance. It's just that it's extremely hard to outperform current incumbents given that you're setting yourself very serious constraints, both technical and ethical, compared to them. Not to mention the budget.
And? They have every right to protect their trademarks and intellectual property do this.

To prevent this cease and desist from happening, either send written permission to the Raspberry Pi Foundation to use the logo or the Raspberry Pi Foundation should provide 'Allowed uses' or 'Community uses' of the logo / trademark that don't require their permission.

This is all up to them to approve of course and if they have forgotten about this and try this again, just show them the permission for their approval. However, they can also revoke it at any time...
Removing all references to Raspberry Pi from a blog dedicated to discussing the Raspberry Pi is effectively the same as asking to delete it. What would they be left with?

Never underestimate the importance of aggressive marketing and sales around tools for software developers. Even OSS projects need clever sales pitches and visibility to become successful. Mozilla had the resources to pull that off for Rust.

How much of a Raspberry Pi blog is going to be unrelated to the "Raspberry Pi brand"?
I never understood that trend.

Why is replacing badly structured content with low quality NLP an improvement to the user experience?
Difference between the 777 and 787 programs : for 787 management was in a tower in Chicago not looking over the factory floor.

Obviously the distributed manufacturing introduced with the 777 meant it became possible to argue that the ideal management perch is virtual. But this was a profound separation from tradition and I sold my shares on learning of the new HQ.

The problem is that real engineering often absorbs "the fluffy stuff" in hardware. Server composition with independent subsystems accessible over the network is such a compression of OS services in controllers. This is when the value added IP gets recaptured, particularly in standards dependant technology which enables you to play snakes and ladders across the ecosystem board.

Why is the IP element to close only in 2025? Without looking, I suspect that Intel has booked some very high goodwill and other intangible values on the NAND IP that realistically are wishful thinking about that fluffy stuff.
> some humans have clearly forgotten the human race has existed for millenia without electricity.

And some humans have never lived in a place that falls below freezing in the winter.

I lived through a 3-week ice storm in '98 in eastern Ontario [0]. That wasn't even a large outage, just constant failures all over because the ice weighed down and broke power lines. 34 people died, a huge number of farm animals died, and that was with the military being called in to try to help everyone.

You take out all electricity to a major city like Toronto in the dead of winter for a week, thousands would die from the cold.

Take your "liveable climate privilege" outta here, lol.

Surprised that nobody in the answers points to the levels of nitrous oxide emissions that nitrogen fertilizers brought along with them. At some point we have to decide which is worse: lower yields or hothouse earth...
Yes some Edinburgh blocks have fibre. And those who don't only get copper adsl. My neighbours (same block) have had fibers for several years, go figure.
Not so much. Satellite image data was already available to everyone with money, what they did not have was cartography, and annotations.

I bet Google Map today has thousand times more cartographic data, and annotations than when it was managed by the Keyhole. Now you have croudsourced data from military sites, and even some selfie photos from Russian missile bases where guards have authorisation to shoot without warning.
Not sure how this could work geopolitically. You need to able to build it to prevent a country from having the ability to hold another country hostage by cutting another country out of the network.
This seems reasonable? Raspberry Pi is only successful because of the community around it. If you have a product that depends on community service engagement, you don’t do things that damage your community support.

This take was so wrong the raspberry pi ceo came out and apologized.
