Probably not relevant to grandparent if it's not battery powered, but I found the sleep modes pretty limiting on ESP8266.

You can't wake from deep sleep from a pin-change, only a timer, and you can only remember a tiny amount of data in the RTC (512 bytes), so it's essentially like a full startup from reset every time including wifi startup, which uses a lot of battery.

On what evidence does this person's wife qualify as a TERF, and who is calling her that other than yourself?
Can confirm, this is an org file export. Much of the difficulty here was the hackery involved 'escaping' the restrictions of the generated HTML. For example, take a look at this: "margin-left: min(calc(0px - var(--body-left) - var(--body-padding)), calc(30rem - 50vw - 0.5var(--body-left) + 0.5var(--body-right)))". That took a while, and some head scratching :P

IANAL, but for me the terms used here are kind of problematic on a technical level.

- "unless you see a “download” or similar link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content." -- If there is a download link somewhere in the comments you're allowed to download using youtube-dl?

- "provided functionality" -- either functionality is available or it's not. Whether there is a button for it on the UI or not is entirely different. (However, this sort of seems to imply that the HTML specs are legally binding?)

- Your internet connection is only capable of sending and receiving packets, and it isn't wrong at all to describe "sending" as "uploading" and "receiving" as "downloading".

- It says that you aren't allowed to (among other things) "display" any Content for any other purposes -- other purposes than what? "For your information and personal use"?

- It used to be that you could just copy video files from your browser's cache directory, or you could use hard links -- then you wouldn't even have copied them technically. (Not sure if that's still possible on youtube -- but again what if you had a browser that generated PNG files instead or or before "displaying" stuff on the screen?)

The tables / spreadsheet functionality can be super helpful when you just need to jot down thoughts which lead to comparisons which lead to calculations which lead to helping you decide which path you want to go down. It's really great to not have to leave the context of what I'm doing and just open up an org mode buffer and jot down my thoughts and then come out with an answer that is backed by calculations I'm confident in. Very handy 'back of the envelope' or 'napkin' alternative!

Neither the NYT nor WaPo publish UGC, which is a nuance (the nuance, perhaps) that necessitates a middle ground and a recognition that the dish in play is not cake at all.

I didn't like 230 at the time, and frankly we wouldn't be having so many (IF ANY) Facebook headaches over the past 10 years if it had never been born. FB et al didn't want to choose between editorial and common carrier status and the government acceeded to that whine. 230 is what we got, and now we find that 230-protected companies want to exercise editorial control. I don't know what the perfect solution is, but reversing to the common carrier distinction ain't gonna be it.
That said, the Julia community has done some pretty amazing work in that subfield, last I checked they were getting performance in pure-Julia very close to the of BLAS/LAPACK, which is pretty incredible.
> 1) We don't choose to be born and live in this society. It just happens, and we don't get to learn the survival skills necessary to do without it. Therefore, one could say we're stuck in it. Especially considering nowadays everything is property of someone, you can't just go and take a piece of forest to have your primitive tribe there.

You're not stuck. Learning survival skills is not very hard. You are simply waking up every single day and choosing not to do it. Nobody is stopping you.

> 2) Technology and innovation ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE to Capitalism. Repeat it once again if you need. Soviets had a space program too you realize that? Saying that Capitalism is the only way to have innovation, because someone invented iPhone under Capitalism means having no idea of what false correlation is. I'd suggest studying the very basis of statistics before making such claims.

Of course the Soviets had a space program. It's all they had. Their economy was falling apart. Centrally planned economies can do things. They're particularly effective at mustering the entire population behind a single project: like the space race.

They're much less good at doing all the things necessary to run a modern economy simultaneously. Everyone who has ever tried to run an economy this way has failed. The Soviets, the Chinese, North Korea is still making a valiant effort, but it sure doesn't seem to be working out very well for them.

It's true that capitalism isn't the only way to have innovation. It's also true that it's the only way to do it consistently, over a long period of time, across a broad array of industries. There are precisely zero counter-examples in world history. Of course, that doesn't prove it can't be done. But the numbers don't look very good.

> Maybe we can take the best from both worlds. Lose the hunger for profit, the abstract finance, the exploitation and keep the progress.

It'd be nice. I think if you want ideas like that, Glen Weyl's book Radical Markets is probably for you. Fundamentally you aren't going to make any progress on creating that world until you recognize that markets are not your enemy. Centralized state planning is not and never will be an effective way of coordinating an economy. It can be useful in some domains, but it simply doesn't work to run an entire economy that way. What you can do, however, are create market mechanisms that are more progressive than what we have now, by having properly designed taxation schemes, as described in the aforementioned book.
I do not understand why people aren't clamouring against postgres's connection model.

I might be missing something but as I understand it, Postgres had chosen to couple the concept of a connection and a unit of concurrency for simplicity of implementation. However this means that even if your server can theoretically handle 5000 concurrent reads you will never get there because opening 5000 connections isn't practical. You'll likely hit a memory limit.

Why is this generally accepted as ok? Decoupling concurrency from connections seems possible via pipelining commands over a single connection. Is it just too late for a project as mature as Postgres?
Awesome!

If you're like me, you'll go through these steps.

1. Use org-mode in one file for a few years to track all of your todos. You can make a good David Allen GTD system this way. Headings for Inbox, Projects, Someday/Maybe, Tickler.

2. Discover https://www.orgroam.com/ as the best note taking and personal knowledge system you've ever seen.

3. Obsess about backing up all of your org files because if you ever lose them you will literally have lost half of what you know.

“There’s always been one major problem with Apple’s privacy claim that ‘What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone‘: it isn’t true of iCloud backups.

Although Apple uses end-to-end encryption for both iMessage and FaceTime, it doesn’t do the same for iCloud backups. They are encrypted, but Apple holds the key, meaning that the company has access to a copy of almost everything on your phone – and that includes stored messages.”

No.

If people don't want to be on a site with someone, even if they don't have to interact with them, then that's just too bad. I will always favor local, positive rights over global, negative rights.

The right to > The right for somebody else to not.

I'm a value utilitarian. I think society should be organized so that humans can follow their interests. As such, I believe it is counterproductive for people to have an interest in others not following their interests; that's an interest that reduces net interest satisfaction rather than raises it.

Quite a number of the arm boards have open UEFI ports. Tianocore edk-platforms
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/tree/master/Plat...
has a number that are maintained together. Others can be found in various places on github and/or a vendors site.

Of note, the rpi3/4 are both supported. The hardware isn't particularly open, but they have been reverse engineered to the point where even the videocore firmware has a open source project ongoing to replace it.

There are also various tutorials for getting inexpensive jtag probes working with openocd on the rpi3/4 so its possible to have a fully opensource firmware development stack.

Edit: There are a couple intel ports as well, if that is one's preferred platform.
What is fascinating is that the Indian economy as a whole hasn't been doing too well lately. Verdict is out and you'll read both interpretations but here's one from a Nobel Laureate: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/ind...

The startup activity in India is the bright side of the story. We are still riding the boom that came due to Jio and mass adoption of "data" - but I worry that the overall slowdown in the economy will catch up with the startup ecosystem at some point.

I also take notes, etc, in plain text.

In order to sync across devices, I use Standard Notes, which also implements end to end encryption of your data.

There's a self-hosted open source version. And there's a paid version to host on their servers, which I've used for a few years now and have never had an issue with.

If you like the plain text format (with option to use Markdown), you might like it. For me, the benefit is when I have random things throughout the day I realize I need to do. I add it to my phone, and I then immediately have it on all of my Linux and Mac desktops and laptops. I also live in the mountains and frequently take notes while out of cell/wifi service and syncing has still been great.

If you mean people were killed by police, that happens every year, you just don't hear about it if the media doesn't hype it up.

But the Washington Post has statistics that clearly show there's no four year cycle to police shootings: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/polic...

Just wait until 2024 and they'll pick another case to hype up. Despite the fact that police brutality happens every year and nothing gets done about it. It's all bread and circuses.
The browser is absolutely their focus which is why they laid off the Servo team. Servo is a research project, Gecko/Firefox is their browser. It's also a massive money sink. Firefox itself has zero income and yet keeping up with Google is fantastically expensive (even Microsoft decided to throw in the towel).

So they cut teams that a) weren't directly working on their core browser and b) doesn't make money for spending on their browser.

> A benefit of a syntax with indentation-defined block structure is that you don't need to rely on balanced grouping tokens like { ... }

In fact from the lexer perspective there is no big difference, the matching indent-dedent is the same token type as would be { and }
If it is true that the game is rigged, which is basically what you're saying, the only way to stop it from being rigged is to out-compete it. Just shrugging your shoulders and saying, well, there's no point in trying because the game is rigged, just means the game stays rigged forever.

> I can't imagine why your view of utopia requires that people with money get to choose who they transact with but people with goods and services must transact with anyone who has money. Can you explain why that's fair or equitable?

This is not entirely an accurate description of my view. I think that also, people with money should not get to choose who they transact with on the basis of not directly related properties; the difference is not "buy vs sell" but one of scale. That is, I also think that for instance a large corporate chain shouldn't be able to choose to not buy from somebody on the basis of political allegiance. "Offering a service or product to the market" and "Acquiring a service or product from the market" are symmetrical.
Huh. I clicked through expecting a story about a glitch in an AI, but this is rather uplifting. I hadn't thought about such a use case. Cool.

I think Scandinavian peasants were alone in Europe to never have been serfs. Which probably has cultural effects even today.

One explanation I've seen is that if the nobility got to aggressive, Swedish peasants could always go hide in the forest for a while.

...which is something you can do in a low population density land, and we're full circle :)
Yes, I recommend "Parsing Techniques" book.
You could make a pretty good case for Sourcehut.

The code is all open source, and is decently simple to self host if you feel inclined.
No, you can always choose not to interact at all. You can always choose not to offer a service or product, or not to use a service or product. I just think that the larger the scale at which you decide what to do, the less interests that are not directly related should be permitted to matter.
its on shithub though.
I don't know anything about Postgres in this regard, but one common reason for not pipelining requests is fairness: You don't want one client to be able to starve others out by being very noisy.
All the factors you cite impact driver earnings, but do they impact the analysis? At the end of the day the argument boils down to "drivers make more money when they can drive faster", which seems pretty indisputable. So if overall traffic speeds are slowing down, then in aggregate all drivers will suffer as well, although the daytime driver suffering through rush hour gridlock will be comparatively worse off than a driver who focuses on long airport rides in the middle of the night.

As for the taxi meter fee structure, Uber/Lyft can work around this with surge fees during those congested peak hours, while taxis cannot. This too is quite clearly in the Uber drivers' favor: if you're going to be sitting around in traffic, better to be paid more for it. (Unless Uber takes all the extra revenue for themselves, but that's another story.)
Based on covid mortality, it’s arguable that Silicon Valley is better governed than people give it credit for. Not only has mass death been avoided so far in the Bay Area (compared to the situation in New York metro area earlier this year), California has been battling multiple emergencies during at the same time (see the extraordinary fire season this year)
The article is specifically targeting people in the Pacific Northwest (presumably of the US, though parts of PNW include parts of Canada). The US is prone to thinking 'You go outside in nice weather" and this article is aimed at rebutting that notion and explicitly saying "You can enjoy the great outdoors in any kind of weather."

I live in a small town in Washington. Not long after I moved here, I saw a video that listed this town as one of the ten worst cities to live in for Washington state. It listed high unemployment, high drug use and the big zinger was fewest sunny days.

I hear all kinds of trash talk about the weather out here which both amuses and aggravates me because I moved here for the very temperate weather. I live without a car and it rarely gets below freezing here and it rarely gets all that hot. It rains a lot and I wish there were more awnings in the downtown area, but the rain tends to be light, so I don't care that much. I grew up in Georgia which has terrible, terrible storms on a regular basis.

The article also explicitly states that Seattle has "deep Scandinavian roots." So it is trying to appeal to locals in a way that they should be able to readily identify with and embrace.

This is not a generic article. It is very much a localized article with a particular audience and time and place in mind. And for that reason, the references make a lot of sense.
Thank you for the feedback, glad you liked it, and glad to see more people interested in deeper CS topics!
It's the "Imbalance of money" part that's critical to that.

And unfortunately, yes. I think so.

Remember, Google v. Oracle has hit the Supreme Court. The only reason it's gone on so long is both sides can afford to keep throwing money at it.

What happens when one side can't?
I don't know if I can agree. The early startup scene is far less energetic and exciting than it used to be 7-8 years ago. Most of the funding is cornered by mature startups that had their start a decade ago, and are still seeking their first exit.

The good part is that more and more startups are tackling tough industries like insurance. But it does feel like we're past the crest of the wave.

> Compare the sha commit hashes of the top commit against

Isn't it just SHA1? I think it's generally accepted it's not secure...

Also it would be quite easy to build a clone repo that looks the part with all the correct hashes, the git "database" structure is quite simple.
Agree that all that is needed is a “more pay per time period for more efficiency” but think it’s hard to get right.

The cab driver is constantly playing bird in the hand is worth two in the bush - do I take less per minute with this customer but take a long time, or take the customer quickly, get paid more, but then also have the risk I won’t pick anyone up for long enough that I am worse off?

I think most people go for bird in hand is the issue.
As a former suicide-considering person (never attempted), I sincerely believe it's worth separating the action from the desire.

We get all sorts of desires. The mind is full of inactive, dormant code. But, when we get one of them, then entertain it long enough, and the environment is just right, people most certainly will do horrible things, including killing themselves and others.

I'm not implying that it's all programmable, but more that decisions are the consequence of many variables after the initial temptation.
Indeed, the difference is that the lexer offers guarantees about the synthetic INDENT/DEDENT tokens. From an error sync perspective, the benefit is that the programmer (redundantly) re-asserts the block level every line by the amount of indentation. As a small addendum on Python's suspension of indentation tracking when nesting > 0, when I designed the syntax for indentation-based block structure in another language, I required such nested code to always have indentation beyond the current block's level even though no INDENT/DEDENT/NEWLINE tokens are emitted in this state. So this was legal:

x = (1 +
2)

x = (1 +
2)

x = (1 +
2)

x = (1 +
2)

But this was illegal:

x = (1 +
2)

The legal variants are all identical to

x = (1 + 2)

from the parser's perspective. Adding this restriction (which is already the idiomatic way to indent nested multi-line expressions) means that you can reliably sync to block levels even when recovering from an error in a nested state. If your lexer already strips leading indentation from multi-line string literals you could add a similar constraint for them.

The moral of a lot of these tricks is that by turning idioms and conventions into language enforced constraints you can detect programmer errors more reliably and you can do a better job of error recovery. That said, even in a curly brace language like C# you could still use the indentation structure as a heuristic guide for error recovery--it's just going to be less reliable.
People who menstruate need menstrual products. Not all women menstruate, and transmen may menstruate and certainly, by definition, do not identify as women, and that's even before considering those of nonbinary gender identity.

“People who menstruate” (the term actually used) is different from “menstruators” (the latter is reductionist, the former identifies a trait of people without reducing them to that trait, merely identifying it as one of many traits they have that may or may not be central to their identity; the difference is approximately that between “breeders” and “people with children”.)

If you have to change the term used in order to get upset at it, maybe you are trying a little to hard to find an excuse to be upset.
Professor Aiken is a great teacher and I love his compilers course. However as for the parsering stage, that course goes as maximum as to SLR(1) which is pretty "toy" parsing mode. That's the problem with a combined "compilers class" -- one simply can't put everything, and everything is becoming slightly superficial. That's why I have Parsers and Garbage Collectors class as separate and fully specialized course.
Oh my. I cant believe he died a week ago and it wasn't international headlines.

It's small. But as an avid fisherman and boater who would like to live in either Wisconsin or Michigan, this could be a deciding factor (remote work is only temporary for me right now, but theoretically it might make a difference for me, though the Michigan winters would probably still be a non-starter)
That's just BASH with extra steps.
