I wonder if an after-market website for selling or giving away your old RPis makes sense. I run a k3s on RPi3, but I have a few RPi2 spares which can be used for small side projects.

> To those who say frameworks are needed because the stdlib is not enough: No, the stdlib defines very clear interfaces that libraries can implement.

Yeah, I'm not much into Go development but I've talked to a few devs who built real web apps with it and they rarely use any libraries, but do use "interface style" libs like Gorilla Mux.

Here's a snippet from my podcast where I talked to Jon Calhoun on using mostly the standard library and about 15k lines of code to build a video course platform in Go: https://runninginproduction.com/podcast/42-creating-a-video-...
I think self-selection is a fair criteria as a filter: people who are more open/open minded, perhaps have higher risk tolerance, perhaps will have a better response to something that will open up n their mind further.

The issue that's currently poorly managed for and barely addressed in clinical research, as well as practical application, is the wide range of states of health that the general population has. If you give someone a medicine that temporarily removes their ego mind from the algorithm of the mind's processes but there's so much trauma hidden/repressed/suppressed and their body is in too unhealthy of a state to rebound adequately coming out of that experience then the person won't be able to land/ground again very easily, if at all; it's why individuals who've been diagnosed with schizophrenia are contraindicated from entheogen use, and even from yoga practices like kundalini and laughter yoga - which are also powerful practices of helping temporarily disconnect the control of the mind - that some people learn to cope using and completely depend on to function.
I've been out of the loop for a while but I imagine this is because Flatpaks bundle all of the dependencies and thus you don't run a risk of the installation of one deb resulting in broken dependencies for other programs.
> It's cool to see them self-host.

But they're not self-hosting? They're using media.ccc.de, which is a well known community streaming/hosting platform for tech conferences around the CCC/hacker scene [1].

Unless anything that's not YouTube or Twitch is seen these days as self-hosting...

Ok let’s do away with withholding then. Instead of just letting the government keep the money we will all take it from the government and give it back at one time on tax day. Much simpler.

I was typing a similar response, before I saw your better articulated one. Thank you.
As others have mentioned, this is a fantastic long read. And some wonderful lines worth quoting. My favourites -

>> The highest calling of true elites is to translate the flux of reality into a coherent story.

>> Perspectives on reality of course vary according to the ideals and institutions involved.

>> We are fractured creatures, trapped in a subjective perspective, but we are also symbolic animals, viscerally craving a meaning for our individual lives that is universally acknowledged and so transcends individuality.

>> Belief is the default. What needs to be explained is systematic cynicism or unbelief: it’s a pathological state that makes individuals miserable and society untenable.

>> The public is disenchanted in the elites and their institutions, much in the way science disenchanted the world of fairies and goblins.

>> All you need is a smart phone and a sufficient measure of anger against.

>> The lust for destruction, rather than fascism or some “successor ideology,” looms as the great threat to democracy today.

>> For all the anger, we live pretty comfortably within this evil old system.

>> Websites must compete for attention and so practice the art of the rant.

>> Newspapers are trying to survive by selling polarization.

>> I have learned that the best way to be wrong in public is to make a prediction.

>> On the web, you can vote on anything, at any time. I’m pretty sure that’s not a good thing, but it’s the purest form of democracy, and explanations about why it’s not a good thing always start with the assumption that the elites are smarter than the voters.

>> Like I said, I’m really old, and one of the few things one learns with age, young Antonio, is that there are many more important things than personal vanity.
I personally suspect that removing composite output was the real reason for removing the headphone jack. From what I've read, to enable composite output on the Raspberry Pi 4 you have to enable a special setting on config.txt, which when enabled slows down some of the clocks so that it can produce the correct frequencies for the composite output to work. Not having composite output removes the need for that wart.
I listened to the "secret seminar" part in the beginning and found their arguments really bad.
1. ...who knows what the real story behind this is...
Okay, but that can be said against almost any claim uless there is a video or many people are willing to talk about it. If you claim that he is lying, the burden of proof is on you. Also that somehow doesn't stop them from hypothesising about personal tensions with the adviser as an explanation for non-invitation.
2. ...not being invited to a seminar is no biggie, 6 billion people weren't invited..
C'mon, if that seminar is run by your adviser on your topic of interest it is not the same as for the rest of the planet.
3. ...he is already elite of of the elite in a PhD program at Harward...
Okay, so what? Put up with corruption? Ignore the fact that the system is rigged and not in your favor?
4. ...It's childish to have a revelation when discovering all this backscratching and deals going behind the scenes in academia...
Really? Should a person expect it as normal? Maybe looking for a secret meeting should be the first step one should make in their academic career?
5. Stuff about him being paranoid/having prosecution complex.
Making a diagnosis from a several minute podcast clip to conclude with ad hominem argument is beyond the pale IMHO.

What of these two episodes strikes you as the most condemning about Eric? Maybe something he did or some abhorrent position he holds or something verifiably false that he said on purpose?

I would consider using this for serious work if they had added support for 2.5 or m.2 drives.

There are some third party raspberry pi 4 cases that support m.2 via an internal USB 3.0 adapter [1].

Considering they designed a custom PCB for this product, adding a native M.2 or SATA is a reasonable feature for something designed to replace a desktop PC

> The one area that Intel has managed to maintain superiority is quality. Intel is still the thing to buy if you want minimum glitches.

This is kind of a big one, and why I prefer Intel. I can't see it continuing, though. Intel will feel pressure to:

* spin products to seem even somewhat competitive

* reduce their margins on clock speed (historically, they overclocked well because of conservative margins), and run a little too fast/too hot

* push things out the door before they're ready

I don't care very much about a 50% performance difference, but I do care a lot about stability. If Intel can maintain a quality lead, I'm likely to keep buying Intel.

Few executive teams have that long-term discipline.
Why not use GraphQL?

For me it is a little confusing article, but it sound like Sony now has a chip that can emit infrared and in the same pixel measure the direct time of flight. Am I right?

So props to Sony for making this possible in a, I assume, much smaller chip.
It depends. Biden is from an older generation and likely doesn’t view digital communication as an extension of “real life”. It’s just a convenient toy and when the “think of the children” arguments come out he’ll roll over like the rest of the boomers.

Team17 also have a publishing arm in Nottingham, although their HQ is in Wakefield I believe.

Sumo Digital as well although not sure if they make games in Notts - looks like they have a few locations around the UK

YC Gaming Startups Are Hiring (Job Expo with Emmett Shear, CEO of Twitch)
event link: https://www.workatastartup.com/events/gaming-tech-talks-2020

YC's Work at a Startup and founders and teams of 8 YC gaming startups are coming together to host a first ever job expo focused on gaming this November. Emmett Shear, CEO of Twitch will be joining us to share his insights on how the business and technology of gaming is rapidly changing.

Aside from Emmett (if you haven't seen it, check out his excellent TED Talk on what streaming means for the future of entertainment: https://www.ted.com/talks/emmett_shear_what_streaming_means_...), we've got four pretty cool 10-minute lightning talks lined up:

- Designing from Day One: Artists as Founders, Sara Alfageeh and Thariq Shihipar, Founders at Multiverse (S20)

- Designing Characters with Deep Learning, Cory Li, Founder at Spellbrush (W18)

- Synthetic Media: Virtual Influencers and Live Animation, Jay Rosenkrantz, Founder at Figments (S19)

- MMOs in the Instagram Era, Jimmy Xu, Founder at Highrise (S18)

After the talks, we'll open up a virtual expo hall to meet with the founders and teams.

Many of the gaming startups fly under the radar at YC, but in my (biased!) opinion, if you love games they're some of the most exciting. And the gaming industry often tackles some of the most exciting and challenging frontier technology problems before anyone else.

Working at a startup is not for everyone - and gaming startups are some of the craziest for sure. But if you're in a position to go for it, based on my experiences I can say there might be no greater adventure. So if this piques your interest, check out the event link and apply to attend/come learn about open roles in engineering, game design, art, marketing/media and more.

Hope to see you there!
It's "L" is because it focuses the location bar.
Personally I wouldn't call anywhere in the UK 'remote' till you start going far north. I've lived in AU first, then GB so maybe my view is biased.
Nah. Sensors. Sensor tech. It's hugely different from mainstream electronics or putting things together from standardized components. Sony took that lead, with Samsung and a few other close behind. Each time Nikon sells a camera, Sony gets a cut. Same thing for most other camera companies, except Canon.

Everything has sensors now, from manufacturing processes, to cell phones, to your optical mouse.

Imaging is much bigger than film.

Kodak R&D had a lead there too, but blew it bringing it to market.

You were right first time, they were just asking in general.

Your answer is one of better ones here. It's a good Micro that can lead to a Macro.
To be fair, the last time I did was when I bought my current monitor, this year. 2560x1440, and only works properly when I log in so my X config loads.

I messed up some PAM config shortly after, and had to chroot to fix it - couldn't read a single letter I was typing (impossibly small and distorted for the number of pixels used to display them, character widths all over the place too) but manager to get it done, very carefully and slowly...

I probably should've made getting it working system wide a priority after that (maybe it's as simple as I used my user config rather than /etc, I can't remember) but I haven't. I suppose worst case I could use a different older monitor anyway.
I remember about this when he was in a TED talk. Des this tech further improved since that?
Just use this tiny intuitive YAML file to deploy Prometheus on K8s with Helm
I think they meant it would autoinvalidate the tokens which might be valid.
I think the math on an AWS secret and access key would be ridiculous to brute force.. but other types of keys might be an interesting attack vector.
It's not clear what the 300B figure actually is. The OP doesn't mention it and the GP's link isn't explicit.

I can't find a clear source, but it looks to me that 300B is total loans issued, not what Ant currently has on their balance sheet.

> Even if they are just “warehousing” the credit this would be false, as they need to hold some of those assets on balance sheet while they try to sell them.

Yes, they would have to hold _some_ capital reserves, but that number should be based off of whatever they have on their balance sheet at any given time, not off of the total loans issued number.
What "this" are you referring to? The grandparent post is talking about USB dongles as a workaround, which in my experience work very reliably.
But America isn't Japan or Eastern Europe.

Sure, redo all the public transit and then you can start asking people to ditch cars. But until then, you're handicapping them.
Well, they position it as a general purpose ID solution, mentioning age control, for example.
> Yes, smaller devices enable better designs.

Which is probably why AMD has better IPC now.

> they called it "tick-tock" which is the cycle of developing a new microarchitecture on one node and then porting to a smaller node.

The whole tick-tock cycle has been interrupted by the 10nm failure which has almost certainly thrown off their architecture development cycle. It's not about moving cores to a smaller node its about knowing whether you're designing for 10nm or 14 nm.
I'm confused. All of Codemaster's IP will belong to Take 2 (well, 2k actually) after this move.

To be fair to them, this is the company that re-released remastered X-Com games, along with the Mafia games.

I wouldn't expect to see Dizzy happen again, but you never know...
I’ve recently learned that there’s also a national passport card, used by 12 million people in USA at the moment. Is it the same as state ID?
Qt licensing is not unclear nor deteriorating.
This seems like a much more practical and useful package for most people, especially the full kit with all the connectors and such you need included. Just hook it up to a hand me down / cheap TV and you’ve got a very capable little computer. If this had come out when my kids were younger, learning Scratch and getting into Minecraft, I’d have been all over it.
As a counterpoint, I think I did some of the best work to my career when I only talked to my manager every 3 to 6 months. I talked to other people on my team, I talked to our customers, and I figured out for myself what was important, and just did it.

I ended up shipping something that literally became the deal-maker for prospective customers who were considering us and a competitor.
As well as the affirmatively "insecure" marking in the URL bar for unencrypted HTTP, it's not a Secure Context (except localhost) and so modern browsers don't offer any new features for this case.

If you're writing an HTML 4.0 web page that's no issue. If you were building a video chat, or you were going to add geolocation to your "Where's my closest store?" page or you want to send Notifications, or you've got a framework that needs Service Workers, those APIs are Secure Context only and won't exist.

The general rule of thumb is, if you could polyfill it, then it's available even without Secure Context, otherwise you need Secure Context to get the new feature. Some older features are being retrospectively given this treatment.
Indeed. Some teams I took over complained to me I was micro managing them, because I was reviewing code and asking on a regular basis them when things would be done. The regular basis was once, max 2 a week, and I was not reviewing more than 1 PR / dev per month. They were used to no accountability, and ofc compared to that, everything feels like micro management.

Also, micromanagement gets a bad rep, but actually, figuring out when micro management is needed is also a skill. It depends on your own skills and availability, your team seniority, etc. Outside of very junior programmers, the need to micro manage is often a sign that you did not hire well, but managers don't always have a say in firing people.
It would be really fun to implement Smalltalk like system with Logic Programming constructs!
Biased as I went there, but that's very close to the University of Warwick. I studied Maths, and then went into Software Engineering in London, but a lot of the CS grads went into local game studios like Codemasters.
DMA Design (which later became Rockstar North, developers of Grand Theft Auto) were formed in Dundee. Not exactly the middle of nowhere, but probably not where you'd expect to find one of the world's most popular video game franchises.
I used to work for Sony Computer Entertainment at the EU HQ in London, there were a few games studios there, all located around the same street just off Oxford Circus, along with a big R&D office.

I think the London Studio is still there, not sure what they are working on now though.

King who make candy crush are near there too, I went for a job interview with them around 6 years ago, you could tell at that time, judging by the offices, they were not strapped for cash...
Oh. Either that post was edited or I misunderstood - I thought they were talking about an HDMI dongle with 3.5mm audio jack for audio extracted from the hdmi. But yes, indeed, a USB audio dongle should "just work".
Wow, asking a new manager to do this is terrible. You certainly did the right thing to get out as soon as you could.

That situation (team that refuses to 'get with the program') is actually one of the typical setup experienced managers have encountered in their career I think.
Depends.. many types of list maintainers are very bad abusers, political list, charity lists come to mind. You get unsubscribed from that "list" your email gets sold on to multiple lists, also a response or worse a purchase via the mail like this makes yours email higher value.
Magic Leap is not a scam.
I believe copyleft stands for and invisions a better world where all code is free/libre and available to everyone. And the GPL family of licenses is trying to get us there.

MIT and the like, while being good open source licences, allow anyone to break the chain and not release their code to the public. So it is good in terms of being open source and free/libre now, but does do anything for the future, and does not do enough to bring about the vision of a fully free world.

Personally, I'd prefer the GPL licenses unless there's an good reason not to.
There aren't any free PCIe lanes on the SoC, so even if they added a bridge chip for a SATA / M.2 SSD it would have to be connected over USB.

Besides, the device is $70. A $10 32GB eMMC chip would be a far more reasonable ask at this price point if greater reliability is desired.
Even in consumer devices it's not new. Hobbyists pulled lidars from roombas for a while to wire into arduino-driven toys. Nowadays you can just buy inexpensive (and not very good) lidar hardware on aliexpress and such.
> they rarely use any libraries... He mentioned some of the Gorilla packages that he used too, such as Mux for routing.

Gorilla is perhaps the most maximalist Go web library "system", and its mux is by far the most complex of common routers. Using Gorilla for a site is about as far as being outside the Go stdlib as you can be before reimplementing core protocol handling.
They discuss later Eric Weinstein’s claims towards Carol Greider. they also link to the uberfeminist. although I don’t like the tone, the analysis and take away seems sound.

Don’t care if somebody is awful or not, but care about if somebody can backup claims and Eric seems not able to.

http://uberfeminist.blogspot.com/2020/02/eric-weinstein-is-a...

http://uberfeminist.blogspot.com/2020/03/eric-weinsteins-con...

The uberfeminist seems quite obsessed with the Weinsteins. still the blogposts appear spot on in terms of reasoning.

If you find errors or proof for the claims the Weinsteins put out please post.

for me personally, the worst was when Eric Weinstein compared BLM protestors to the Reichskristallnacht (link bellow) ... then I just thought he has really no clue what he is talking about.

I’m happy to be proven wrong.

edit: typos
This code relies on GHC and GHC specific extensions. The mentioned pragmas are not defined by the 2010 standard.

The lastest GHC release is from August 8th of this year.
Doesn't really matter if inertia is keeping them using Identrust. They're not going to go to the trouble of switching providers just to save a few bucks. If that was their concern there were much cheaper options available even before Let's Encrypt
Bluetooth introduces (even more...) latency, which isn't always acceptable.
Then just close the comment section for Gimp release because what more can be said apart from 'thanks' then if critics aren't welcome/tolerated or interpreted as "you are shitting on people's work".

The question is: can Gimp be criticized ? Obviously, from all the Gimp thread I saw, HN isn't the place to have a conversation about it.

edit: now that I think about it it seems to me that Firefox is taking way more heat when a release is announced.

edit2: to be fair, I do agree the parent could have worded things like "Still no non-destructive filtering but it's on the roadmap" or something like that. I am certainly not shitting on Gimp but I tend to react to people who claim it's a 1-1 photoshop replacement, it's simply not true. It doesn't mean Gimp hasn't huge advantages over Photoshop. Every photographer I know and who use it prefer it to Photoshop after some time, same when you need to automate or need some custom plugin to manipulate images.
Vue might have a similar learning curve as React if you are only used to Vanilla and template engines. Never really checked Svelte. Alpine.js [1] could be an option too.
