I ordered from Sparkfun multiple times and everything worked out great. I wonder if they are slowly going to expand their reach to be a la protolabs for all the B2B PCB design/prototype deals. Protolabs did a quarter billion sales last year I think.

Clearing $1k from semi automated work sounds a lot less tedious than packing 500 bags with a $2 sensor. I always feel like they lose money on sub $10 orders.
No, it's pretty accurate.

The Tesla Autopilot just barely beats out Super Cruise in terms of features and performance.

But Super Cruise absolutely blows Autopilot out of the water on safety. It's not even close.

And so, objectively, Super Cruise won.

The AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 XT is expected to be available December 8, 2020, for $999 USD SEP.
I'm still ramping up on D3 and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Do you find it helpful to supplement this Mighty Ducks movie along with a healthy diet and adequate sun exposure? Is it possible to jump straight to D3 or is it recommended to work your way through D1 and D2 first? Thanks.
Does AMD have anything like DLSS?

Ah, the "just move to the wilderness and grow your own food if you don't like the government infringing your constitutional rights" argument. I want to be able to meaningfully engage in normal society by buying consumer goods and connecting them to communications platforms and I want my 4th amendment rights protected. I really don't think that is too much to ask.
Try it! Nearly every result is related to BASIC. Search engines have gotten very good at guessing what is and isn't a proper noun over the years.
Also important to note that it had Smart Memory Access on, which requires a Ryzen CPU (and furthermore, did they say specifically a Ryzen 5xxx CPU?)
As a shareholder and a capitalist, I am deeply disappointed that NVidia is leaving hundreds of dollars of profit per card on the table, by allowing scalpers to pick it up.

But on a serious note - why are they doing so? Surely, they have good predictions of supply and demand - why are EBay resellers reaping the profits from the gap between the two? Why aren't these cards retailing for $1000, with price reductions happening as demand drops below supply?
Because of all the hyper-vocal liberal activism in tech by employees I would guess.
Sidenote, I love the idea of the "post-pandemic age of austerity", as if it contrasts with the "pre-pandemic age of austerity".
The lack of journalistic curiosity is startling...BTW, Project Veritas has numerous videos, including a woman who claimed to have swayed 7000 votes. It does not take many operatives of this woman's impact to consistently sway election results.

To people who pay attention, it is obvious. To people who want to confirm their bias that there is no widespread election fraud, no evidence, including video evidence, will suffice. They will rationalize & explain it away...
Ted Cruz Rips Jack Dorsey over Censorship of Post’s Hunter Biden Bombshell
It's painful to repeatedly witness people voluntarily buy into ecosystems maintained by people with perverse incentives. You can't fault MS, making more money is their raison d'etre.

If you care at all, even the smallest amount, explore the alternatives.
Currently working on a product in Flutter. I can tell you, it is extremely productive and easily learned when compared to React Native for mobile applications (when you consider programmers who don't already have React web experience). For your typical computer science student it just makes more sense than Javascript (web-based) GUI systems.

When you think about it, the way the Web does GUIs is pretty ass backward.
Spam filters are a form of censorship. Not all censorship is bad.
Ah, simply crush billions of tons of olivine and move it to a beach.

Weathering olivine doesn't scale, because you need so much. It involves hitherto unprecendented amounts of quarrying and then transport. The quarrying would destroy massive amounts of habitat. After the waves do their trick, near-shore habitats would be devastated because the entire ocean floor is covered in olivine.

I am a former geophysicist by the way. While I did not work in geoengineering, I am familiar with most of the serious proposals with scientific support. Be skeptical of these groups that claim to have an easy answer. I can tell you that no one in the field thinks carbon capture from the atmosphere is realistic anytime soon. The scale is enormous. Most people have trouble understanding the difference in scale with what we actually have the capability for.
Nope. Half-rate accumulate ops on the 3090. Definitely not an ML card.
Isn't sublime a cross-platform python-based app? Probably most of the innovation in modern text editors was at least inspired by TextMate.
When's the last time an entire news cycle was influenced by what was said on local radio?
Yeah, I've seen that. I wish Android would close that gap and switch to standard Linux stack.
Yes it does, but that's not going to stop people from expressing themselves online or discuss the disadvantages of what's coming.

Besides, realistically speaking, not everyone is capable enough to do that. Their only way to contribute is to let the web know that not everyone prefers Wayland and why. Discussions like these are like feature requests and bug reports, only broader, encompassing multiple projects. Some people might interpret that as entitled b____ing, but then apparently so are feature requests and bug reports sometimes.
One of my favorite mobile games is Antiyoy, by Yiotro (https://github.com/yiotro/Antiyoy) who also created other games like Vodobanka, Achikaps, and Bleentoro.

The creator mentioned that he picked the names because they were pronounceable, unique, memorable, and searchable. That misses out on meaningfulness and familiarity, but those are expensive - by dropping those requirements, you gain easy SEO, trademarks, domains, etc. A big company knowing they're going to sell millions of copies can spend 5 figures on a domain and 6 figures on SEO, but I don't think it's worth it for most startups.

I always though the best name for a band with only one album would be 'Various Artists' with 'Greatest Hits' for the album name.

They probably exist, I just don't think I can ask a search engine to find them.

I use python because of Numpy, Scikit and Tensorflow. I don't know of any other languages with libraries as productive as these, so speeding these apps up is a big win for a lot of people.

Its nothing like COM, but a vision of what moderns browsers engines could turn into (focusing on the properties you have mentioned).

We should not let "them" dictate dumb clients (and apps) to us that consume from the fog that "the cloud" is.

This is a corporate trend that will take a lot of freedom from us, and if we let them have their way, it will be pretty hard to get us all out of this nightmarish future we are heading to.
Sure, but we can walk and chew gum at the same time. It's easy for me to directly contribute to carbon removal, because of things like this. It's a little more difficult for me to help pump less carbon into the air — I can try to minimize my carbon footprint, but ultimately the thing we need is investment in clean energy and legislation forcing companies to limit their emissions.
That’s not how section 230 works, as I suspect you know very well.
Can anyone explain to my why people are creating new embedded systems with Windows?

It seems to me that the developer experience, ecosystem and driver support is worse in literally every single way, not to mention you don't have control over the OS code.
Pro tip: Legacy code can be code you yourself wrote 6 months ago.

I really like the techniques described here. I haven't gotten around to going through Michael Feathers's book, but the list of steps described is what I try and do anyways when working with legacy code.

It is amazing how fast bitrot can take hold of a codebase that isn't being continually maintained. The author's reference to broken window theory, that once you have a chunk of code that is pretty gnarly, the next person who comes along and has to add something to it just slaps it in there, it is already a mess, so why try and clean it up? There is a hard tradeoff with pragmatism that we have to make, especially if you are working at a startup where not getting to market could be the death of your company. But I think that knowing and understanding these techniques can give you confidence that you will be able to go back later and clean up your own legacy code.
Personally, I also think, GitHub's Checks API, and it Github bots. Gives a much better experience compared to GitLab.

On a daily basis I am confused about how diff's are being rendered in GitLab merge requests, as it has a weird way to render ${blah} in strings in lines.

Also when you want to check if an issue exists in GitLab own repository, you always end up in some jungle of redirected tickets. Just now I got redirected to three different tickets , as they switch projects or something. Really annoying.

Most of us don't really have a choice though. In larger companies a lot of decisions are being made by higher-ups before technical people even get a chance to look into the issue.
The crazy thing about it, I think, is that removing CO2 from the atmosphere rather than where it's readily concentrated like power and cement plants, is picking the worse amount of entropy to fight.
That's actually kind of clever, albeit developer centric.

We'll have to wait for the benchmarks and YouTube videos. What if the new AMD cards look amazing without DLSS and have comparable framerates?

I current have a small-form-factor case with a 2080-Ti in it. As it stand, the biggest nVidia card I can put in would be the 3080. I'm curious if the 6900 XT is a two slot design, or if it's massive like the 8090 with the three slot requirement.
Lots of important questions like this came up for me when I was studying biology in college. We should treat it like we do with undiscovered planet, tread as lightly as possible gathering as much information as we can. The thought of a some sort of human consciousness evolving unintentionally is truly gruesome horror for me.
I guess this brings up and interesting issue -- once someone knows the ins and outs of a system, sometimes there are very few barriers internally to check that an order/paperwork is legit.

There was a story in WSJ like last week about how the Japanese red stamp / seal still survives and is a barrier to them adopting new technology for practical every day speeding up of tasks. And keeps things like faxes around unnecessarily.

Yet sometimes, these old checks are there to prevent maybe the worst case of bugs getting into the system. Maybe?
I wouldn't say its shockingly easy to get a desktop app running. Its buried under a tag and sometimes doesn't compile on Windows. Unless something recently has changed.
As odd as it may sound, I see actual payment as the major hurdle here.

While phones come with prepaid plans that can be used with cash only, it's going to be difficult to get payment for Starlink going in many regions, unless SpaceX starts subsidiaries in various regions where this applies and offers prepaid/cash services, too.
The source is aged a bit but

That's kinda the full issue in standardizing. Gnome wants dbus for everything while sway wants wayland extension most things as they avoid using dbus code. So stuff like xsettings/xrdb or screensharing replacement has basically has wayland extension and a dbus API.
It seems obvious they'll have to provided the vehicles are being used and maintained in accordance with manufacturer instructions.

Would you get in a vehicle if you could be charged with manslaughter for killing someone through absolutely no fault of your own?

That UK grid trip event was going to happen one day. The "Vector shift protection" and "Rate of Change of Frequency" in embedded generation (Home solar etc.) means that if it senses anything "funny", it'll shut off.

Which in turn means if anything else goes wrong with the grid and there isn't enough generation, then all home solar countrywide cuts out, making the problem 10x worse.

Lesson learned: "I detected something weird, lets turn off" is not a good algorithm for everyone to use on a system requiring high uptime!

It was obvious from the start really...
This is both High Art and cutting edge technology. Well done!
Absolutely. Sound null safety is very exciting too! Using Dart/Flutter client side with sound null safety and then a few backend API's in Rust, would likely prove to be an extremely reliable system.
The problem is that you can only buy the 4-pack once; found that out the hard way when I wanted to provide a copy to more than 4 friends. Apparently, it's to suppress resellers buying multiple copies whenever it's on sale.
This article completely ignores China.

In the US, if one pedestrian is killed by a self-driving car, the losses are unacceptable. This is true even if thousands of lives are saved.

In China, the opposite is true. If thousands of lives are saved, and one pedestrian dies, the self-driving car is a success.

China will be the first country to see widespread deployment of self-driving cars for this reason.
There is no anecdotal data for immunity either.
There are few replacements:

OBS / ffmpeg and etc. should get integrated with Pipewire I think for screen capture and the like? But I'm not sure how far that progressed.

Making the information illegal instead of the act leads to these kinds of funny situations; where the reporter gets reported.

Even if any tracking your site does already fully complies with GDPR as does your handling of personal data, it still takes some effort and costs some money if GDPR actually applies to your site.

If you are not in Europe, the main thing that determines whether or not GDPR applies to your site is Article 3 of the GDPR, "Territorial Scope", and the corresponding Recitals.

A big factor there is whether you are offering goods or services in the Union, irrespective of whether or not users have to pay. Mere accessibility from the Union isn't enough to show you are offering things in the Union. What matters is whether or not the site "envisages offering services to data subjects in one or more Member States in the Union".

There are several things that can show you are envisaging offering in the Union. Having localized versions of your site in languages that are used in the Union but not in your own country, accepting payment in Euros or the national currencies of Union members, targeting Europeans with ads for your site, and many others.

If you aren't doing those things, it gets more subjective. If your site should be of no interest to Europeans, and you don't expect to make any money from whatever Europeans happen to somehow end up on it, it is simplest to do a geoip block on Europe. That should conclusively establish that you do not envisage offering services to people in the Union.
As should be known in a community of programmers, it's misguided to blame tools from their potential abuses. Every single tool for the ecological transition can be misused for green-washing, from solar panels to electric cars to carbon taxes.

Semantics.

The fact is you need to change syntax to describe your layout, instead of just using the syntax of the language you are already coding in.
Which makes it more expensive, but it only makes it better if the expense actually translates into performance.
> Clearly C moves a lot of complexity to other areas, or hides complexity by using subtle semantics.

This is what I mean. I do think it's tough in the context of learning, because many resources will teach you things that are actually technically incorrect, but work enough of the time that you won't always notice it. And it's really really tough to know if what you've done is even correct, because you don't have a ton of help. This is before you even get into the bevy of flags which can change language semantics, and are actually used by real projects.

You also have to deal with different social groups of people who have different beliefs about what the language even is. https://raphlinus.github.io/programming/rust/2018/08/17/unde... This is what leads to a lot of those conflicts about semantics too.

None of this means C is not worth learning, or that you shouldn't do it. But I think suggesting that it's simple in the way that, say, Go is a simple language to learn, just isn't really true. YMMV.
There's no commercial vendor without "perverse incentives" if "making money" is on the list. Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Google, or anyone else.

Essentially you're arguing that it is Linux or nothing, but in a very roundabout way.
My point was that Stripe's massive resources are better spent lobbying/writing legislation/researching how to properly implement a carbon tax than this.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the insight!
> I think git in general should copy the approach of Fossil and include issue management and wikis along with the repo, to keep things consistent and avoid vendor lock-in.

A few paragraphs I recently wrote elsewhere:

The entire state of code forges as a general thing in 2020 is all the evidence you could possibly want that version control systems (Git, I'm talking about Git) are themselves massively deficient in design.

I rant about this all the time, but there is an entire class of argument about how & whether to use GitHub / GitLab / Gitea / Phabricator / Gerrit / sourcehut / mailing lists / whatever that would mostly vanish if the underlying data model in the de facto standard was rich enough to support the actual work of software development. Because it's not, we find ourselves in a situation where no widely used DVCS is actually distributed in practice, and the tooling around version control is subject to platform monopolization by untrustworthy actors and competitive moats.

Code review should itself be distributed/federated, but few of the people involved have incentives to make that happen. It's possible something like https://github.com/forgefed/forgefed will eventually get traction, and Git has been dominant for long enough that I wonder all the time when we might see a viable successor that learns from its fundamental mistake. In the meantime we're forced to choose from a frankly pretty terrible lot of options in the broad structural sense.

(For clarity, I'm a WMF employee and am involved in the decision to migrate to GitLab.)

Philip Van Doren Stern sold the rights to his short story for the equivalent of about $150,000. Whatever he thought about the prospects for that story, the acquirer surely had had their own plans, and those plans funded the Stern's subsequent work and lifestyle.

Knowing what we know now, Stern surely would have bargained harder and perhaps gotten more money from RKO --- as is the case in any business transaction where we're given perfect information about outcomes. But that doesn't change the underlying moral rights involved.

I think this appeal to Stern is a pretty weak argument.

Further: the argument about copyright lapsing on Its A Wonderful Life is misleading. RKO let the copyright lapse, but if they hadn't, it would properly have been copyrighted --- under the 1909 rules! --- until 2000.
