> Oh, and it’s going to suck

This part doesn't get emphasized enough. People start down this road and at first it looks like losing weight is easy because they shed a few pounds right away, but most of it is water so they hit a wall and things get hard and they think they must be doing something wrong. They're not: it just sucks and there's no way out of that, not that it stops people from trying to sell them an easy way.
As much as I like to see minorities supported this way (I am left-handed too), I suspect this was mainly done so they wouldn't have to cross the mouse cable over the other cables, which would have looked awkward in the photo...
> but I find that I miss the lifecycle callbacks of the older class based style.

Why not continue to use the class based style? It's still supported. We're using hooks for some simpler cases where they really cut down on boilerplate, but we're continuing to use classes for more complex cases where we find it more readable.

> and a somewhat worst machine from AWS

I’m not a native speaker, but I see this usage of "worst" pretty often. Shouldn’t it be "worse"? Is this a mistake by someone or is this an actual construct I simply don’t know about?
"and my Fastmail account is now configured to enable me to send using my Gmail address from directly within Fastmail"

I don't see this on their website, will this keep working if Google bans your account?
That would mean performence more then doubled on a yearly basis.

How do you figure? They were released 30+ years apart. 2^30 would be a billion times faster. Instead it's something under 19 doublings, nowhere close to doubling every year for 37 years.
What shell are you running this under? Unquoted exclamation marks will do things that may be outside your intent for this script. It’ll still fail, just perhaps not in the way you expect.
Schools are, however, probably power-cycling the Pi daily, and power-cycling can be just as detrimental to an SD card.
We've currently selected very hot and trendy libraries which are currently maintained. Although the goal of this project is to be used for projects in production. Right now we haven't tested anything large scale, but the goal would be to replace any technology that isn't suitable for production.

We will be testing stator out with a large scale production project (that's why we plan on implementing kubernetes support) and we will update the libraries accordingly.
how did you find out about the local school throwing away 50+ small dell quad-core i5s?

The important specification is that this is based on Raspberry Pi 4, thus... 400.

Since it is modeled after computers in the 80s that were sold in a keyboard form factor, such as the Atari 400 and the Amiga 500, they apparently thought that a three digit number would hit the right note for the nostalgia they wanted to invoke.
The schools in india can barely afford computer. and so are not throwing them away 1-2 years later.
How do you deal with data egress costs w/r/t AWS though?
>The automated systems will take down the repo for a bit

That seems unlikely, considering that would be a massive DDoS vector.
I think a lot of modern anti-intellectualism is really more of a pseudo-intellectualism.

It's anti-intellectual in the sense that it can be disdainful of intellectuals and intellectual institutions like newspapers, universities. But form-wise, it tends to be formulated around alternative facts, studies, experts and whatnot.

Flat earth or intelligent design theories are more pseudo-intellectual than anti-intellectual. They have their own studies & citations... mimicking scientific intellectualism rather than dismissing it. The from is of rogue or dissenting intellectuals against the mainstream. If they're in a tussle with Richard Dawkins, the criticism is that he is not really being scientific. It's rarely a criticism of science as an approach.
Compared to old computers, it is.
Ok, done. Even though I'm annoyed at you right now, I'm still sorry you deal with a serious chronic illness, because God knows it sucks.
It's possible that "many" firms do this, but given AWS' growth numbers that would imply they don't really spend meaningful amounts to begin with.

Counterpoint: I've seen a great many false economies with people trying to go on-prem and do alternative hosting because they don't think the AWS premium for e.g. GPU instances is worth it. I don't think that has generally worked out well.
Is it really that hard to set up a greenscreen for this? I can look out accross the street and see a number of people who have done this in their tiny apartments. If I cared about people being able to see the room behind my WFH set up I would do it too. Thankfully for me it just points at the wall I use as a projector screen so there's nothing to see. Plus my team seems to have just given up on video anyway.
Yeah, the post is 4 hours old and still not flagged.. Downvote cast; I personally find that way of speaking offensive.

Remote Patient Monitoring–How It Benefits HCOs and Patients
Ok, I've run the test on a Pi4B 4GB and my Laptop. The Pi4B is hard wired to a gigabit network, the laptop on WiFi AC. The Pi is using a Microsoft LiveCam USB webcam, the laptop is using the built in (1080p?) camera.

The Pi is running the Raspberry Pi OS desktop which I've just downloaded/installed and fully updated and is using the Chromium Browser.

Laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 and Firefox.

The Pi decodes HD reasonably well with some occasional glitching but only encodes SD, Jitsi complains about the network being non-optimal but that appears to be a red-herring, all 4 cores are at 100%. If I lower the "call quality" slider to SD the network issue goes away.

The video received on the laptop from the Microsoft HD webcam on the Pi is 420x270. it's smooth and the frame rate and latency is "good" but it's pretty "soft" at full screen due to the low resolution.

In conclusion, I don't believe you're reasonably going to be able to get 720p or 1080p encoding out of it with Jitsi Meet in Chromium.

Anything else you'd like to know?
Great. I posted two forks, if GitHub takes action then I've got standing to sue RIAA (under the declaratory judgement act), which I'd love to do pro se.

Btw, if anyone is associated with any fork that did go down and is interested in bringing a pro se case, feel free to contact me. I'm not a lawyer and can't give legal advice but I can help point you at some helpful laws and cases. I've been fighting false infringement claims in court for over a year on other issues.

You’re probably two orders of magnitude off. Not exactly splitting hairs. (Sibling comment is talking about CFR, not IFR.) Any conclusions you might reach based on that kind of exaggeration of the risk are pretty meaningless.
Like I said on another site:

... people know AWS and know how to be productive with the services and frameworks for AWS. that alone is a figure hard to quantify. Sure I could save money bringing all the servers back internally or using cheaper datacenters, but I worked at a company that worked that way. You end up doing a lot of busy work chucking bad drives, making tickets to the infrastructure group and waiting for the UNIX Admin group to add more storage to your server. WIth AWS I can reasonably assume I can spin up as many c5.12xlarge machines as I want, whenever I want with whatever extras I want. It costs an 1/8 of a million a year, roughly. I see that 1/8 of a million that cuts out a lot of busy work I don’t care about doing and an 1/8 of a million that simplifies finding people to do the remaining work I don’t care about doing. The author says money wasted, I see it as money spent so i don’t have to care, and not caring is something I like; hell it isn’t even my money.
I’ve heard off at least one case where a fella’s wife was locked out and still forwarded email.
My guess is the level of subsidy here is low enough that not too many cars with a lot of use left in them are being scrapped. That is, the cars being traded in were going to get scrapped soon in any case. The main effect of the subsidy is to move people to greener alternatives, rather than finding another car.
No. And it wouldn't help rebuild the historical record.
Upon reflection, you're probably partially correct too. There are other factors apart from the level of food in the stomach, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to make definitive statements. For example, the amount of fibre you ingest has an effect on how long you feel stuffed.
It is, and it is better because it probably has better chips, but it will die, and brick RPi in the future.
Yep, that's not grammatical.
Comparisons of providers is about like comparisons of programming languages - the best choice will depend very much on the circumstance, and likely there will still be at least two possible choices which cannot be accurately differentiated based on overall cost. There are just so many variables...
I have a quarterly reminder set up in my iphone reminders app.

Whenever it goes off, I login to Google Takeout and trigger a full download of my data. I then download the file and put it on the hard drive of my computer, which is itself backed up to multiple hard drives via apple time machine (I have one drive i leave always plugged in, and one I plug in during the quarterly sync and then unplug for protection against ransomware or other attacks against my personal computer).

Simple, effective, and I could only ever lose up to a maximum of 3 months of data if banned from google.
youtube-dl does not circumvent any protection measures, so hosting it should not be illegal in any country, including Switzerland.

The only problem here is the absurdity of how the DMCA and similar works in the US, which allows companies to easily spam invalid claims and require content removed unless the victim puts in the work to prove the claim invalid. And, of course, that legal cases tend to be settled not moral and innocence, but by the lawyers paychecks.
The hosting for the server is irrelevant if it is relatively stable (does not get compromised every few days) and you have alternatives to move to if it gets taken down.

The true single point of failure is the domain name, but sites like sci-hub seem to be able to manage that rather easily too. The domain name sometimes has to change but people still seem to be able to find it easily.

I think they are implying that situations where 50+ small dell quad-core i5s are being discarded is not common in India.
You could always use a newsgroup for patches/issues/discussion. Those are notoriously hard to sensor and usually can be posted to/read by normal mail clients.

I don't think hooks can actually do 1, 3 and 4. Components re-render whenever React feels like it's a good moment to do so. That happens to include "when state changes", but you're not able to rely on that. This will supposedly become more apparent once Concurrent Mode finally lands.

(You can certainly fault React for it being hard to grok the "correct" mental model, but it makes sense that its primitives do not match the wrong mental model to me.)
Does the power port support USB 2.0 data lines? The Pi 4 B does, and one of the things you can do with that is make it emulate a keyboard. If that works with the Pi 400, it could be the ultimate programmable keyboard!

Edit: per https://youtu.be/3A7pQN5W08E it supports USB OTG, so it sounds like the answer is yes!

> Escooter/ebike is rarely a replacement for a car.

True for most of the US, but that's by design.

Our family of three gave up having a car when we moved from California to Munich, here our electric cargo bike is our 'car'. Works great. Plenty of other families without cars as well.

That's not to say that a car wouldn't be very useful or more convenient for certain kinds of trips, of course (e.g. Ikea). But it doesn't feel like a necessity here the way it almost always felt like one in the US. And that's for a simple reason: Munich actually takes different forms of transport seriously, including street design, allocated land, and $$$ (well, €€€). I could go on and on about the differences.

In the US, mandatory very low density zoning, as well as local transportation systems designed to be car-first (or car-only), are the reason driving is usually a basic necessity. But if you start upzoning and pouring serious resources into other modes of transport, they can work very well too.

edit: I guess I should say, thinking of it as "a replacement for a car" is a very American mode of thinking, because it assumes that the car is a necessity in the first place. The aim should be a system where a car is a nice-to-have, not an integral component of every single person's life, a system where an ebike doesn't need to be a "replacement for a car", because you don't strictly need a car to live your life.
How big a problem is this since emails are transported predominantly in clear text?
As long as the Meet browser tab _has focus_.
I would say that this applies to most of the companies with hundreds of millions of users. The account flagging needs to be automated and there is still some fraction of false positives. The appeal process is not easy because the false positive users are intermixed with bad actors. The human time dealing with the appeals is limited due to the sheer numbers of users.

For me the solution is to use a paid service or a free service at smaller business where employee/user ratio is better.

Thanks in advance!
Are writers being encouraged to write “Zoom call” instead of “Video call” in their write ups? I know that it has nothing to do with the article, I’m just interested to know if anyone else had noticed.

It pays your rent, puts food on the table and you haven't found alternatives yet, I don't see your current situation as wrong on your part, especially if the alternative is to starve or live jobless on government benefits. I hope you will find a situation where you're more comfortable in the future, and all the best.
I actually don't watch many movies or much television for that reason. I still find books enjoyable, though. I think there's something different about needing to visualize everything yourself that still allows for creativity.

My ebike has a 814Wh battery. It'll easily do to and from work twice. I've already done 7000km with it and no noticeable difference (<10% ?). But it's true that the battery degrades. I don't really "mind" in the sense that I treat it as a consumable and not a forever item.
Alright then. I’m not sure if that makes me feel better or worse.
That's incredible, good work!
However you slice it, you have to deliver say 40KWh to that many cars overnight, or they fail to charge and thus are useless. So the grid has to handle that and even if you can get rid of extreme peaks with "smartness", you can't lower the cables and switches ratings much.
And? You can get an ssd for a fraction of that price in China.

I doubt it. In 2009 the pundits said the Republican Party was over. The economy was in shambles and Democrats had just acquired control of the house, senate, and executive branches.

By 2016 the Republicans had it all back as well as 34 governorships. It took only 2 years to get Congress back.

People spoke of a Democratic Party that had no future and even the chance of a constitutional convention if republicans could get a few more seats in 2016.

It’s easier to make a claim for power when you don’t have it. Governing is harder than organizing and campaigning. Both parties over the last 2 admins could have done whatever they wanted at certain points but still weren’t able to. We don’t have M4A and we never built the wall.

Democrats will get power, be accused of overreach at some point from republicans and of not living up to promise by some democrats creating disillusion. And then pass the power back.
Should do more of this. Like saving seeds or freezing DNA of endangered animals. Why not reproduce/model antique structures for all to see as they once were? Else we're left with a melancholy view of the past as destroyed or derelict. Which is and unfair view of peoples of the past that build great things.

As someone who has also worked with fleets of devices (R.Pi-based and others) working off SD-cards, I can confirm what jon-wood is saying. For some reason SD cards fail at a much higher rate than eMMC flash chips in traditional SMT packages.
Actually this is probably incorrect - I got this information from https://ubuntu.com/blog/raspberry-pi-400-with-ubuntu-support but it looks like the BOURNS chip is just the usual ethernet magnetics, which are built in to the jack in the other Raspberry Pi models. There’s no visible connection to the power circuitry. (They are using a different ethernet jack which has a lower profile than their usual one.)
I had this mindset for a long time that we would save money running our own infrastructure. I remember talking days with our CTO about getting dedicated servers and spinning up one of the Citrix or VMWare offerings. I was sure that we could run our backend on one dedicated server for a fraction of the equivalent on AWS. I based my assumptions on running my own infrastructure for years without issues. However, once we started growing I understood that adding resources, changing network policies, spinning test environments would be extremely difficult and would stall our growth. I am so glad they didn't listen to me.
They do. We used to sell high-end projects for 50k a few years ago, but the price is dropping fast now the same projects costs about 1-5k dollars.

I think your parent analogy is apt.

It's basically impossible to be politically successful and accept blame. Politics is an "us" game. Even in the most leader-oriented set ups, the leader is an avatar for the group.

If something is bad, it can either because "we" did something wrong or because we were deceived, manipulated and exploited. By blaming others we absolve us.

> version control system?

Better to refer to them as 'code forges', the central locations where clone your git repo from, and that have additional features such as issue tracker, team boards, and what-have-you..

> decentralized

The code forges themselves (github, gitlab, gitea, sourcehut, vervis, etc.) are not decentralized, but the open ForgeFed protocol, under development at https://forgefed.peers.community (an extension of ActivityPub), facilitates decentralization of forges.

TL;DR Talking about decentralizing GH / VCS always leads to (correct) reactions such as 'git is already decentralized'. Code forge interactions need to become decentralized too.

"For those who don’t remember: Winamp was the MP3 player of choice around the turn of the century, but went through a rocky period during Aol ownership (our former parent company) and failed to counter the likes of iTunes and the onslaught of streaming services, and more or less crumbled over the years. The original app, last updated in 2013, still works, but to say it’s long in the tooth would be something of an understatement (the community has worked hard to keep it updated, however). So it’s with pleasure that I can confirm rumors that substantial updates are on the way."

youtube-dl is a tool mostly used by techies anyways, and they specifically took down the code repository. On top of that youtube-dl is a commandline tool. This is not your typical "google how do I netflix" end-user.

You can bootstrap an application that is hosted on tor or i2p with a short bash script: 1. download and start tor/i2p, 2. download the application, 3. run it.

youtube-dl already has a built-in updater (youtube-dl -U). You'd just change that to use tor/i2p as well.

Anyone who can't get such a script to run wouldn't have been able to use youtube-dl anyways.
