Yeah, I haven't read that book myself yet. Borrowed it from work. But it seems like the Real Deal. So you could just use it as a stepping stone, and just see what basic material the author recommends to work through beforehand. You can usually find these recommendations in the preface or similar.

>it's very hard to figure out a lens to get that will work with the Pi, look right if mounted from around 2 to 3 feet away

This is why I purchased a Commonlands lens instead of a variety of others (including Arducam). The owner has gone through the trouble of taking a consistent photo of the imatest pattern for each lens they are selling, i.e. this:

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0273/9273/7398/products/ce...

and measuring the amount of distortion and listing it as part of the specs.

That gave me a really good idea what the picture was going to be like before I purchased the lens, and the product I received accurately reflects what was shown in the image.

It also showed me that even a small amount of distortion (2%) was too much for my use case.
On MacOS, developer certificate requests are NOT done for every application launch. Responses are cached for a period of time before a new check is done.

FYI -- Both Firefox and Safari use OCSP to check server certificates. Anybody sniffing your network could figure out which websites you visit. Chrome still uses CRL; it trades precision for performance.

If anything Apple has proven that the OoO power tax is mostly imaginary, so we'll probably just get more, bigger OoO for a while.
In some respects it seems like you're arguing P=NP. It may not be the case however. It's certainly a possibility that the system cannot be perfectly determined from within the system.

E2EE is a lie, Facebook hold the private encryption keys server-side so they're able to decrypt messages at any time.

I don't know why you're being downvoted but I found the same.

Changing industries and stacks is massively difficult if you're doing it for getting a new job and not just for a hobby as most employers won't value your previous experience if it's not needed, so all that is just useless baggage now rather than an asset.

I tried going from algos/embedded SW development to backend/devops and it took me almost a year of rejections despite my best efforts to self study(in Europe).

Yeah, be careful into which stack/domain you pigeonhole yourself into as, depending on the market you're in, it might not be easy to change course later despite you being a skilled generalist. Not every employer will have the time and resources to verify or value your general skill set and will instead focus on going for sure-hires who better match their specific tech stack.
Same here, I guess after years of the iPhone specs being lower than Androids when it came to things like RAM but still crushing Android phones should have clued me in. I figured that with 16GB max that the new computers would be a non-starter for me but from what I've seen I was wrong about that. Unfortunately the monitor limit IS a non-starter but I'll be first in line for the M2/M1S/M1Z (whatever they call it) in next year's new 16" MBP (assuming I can continue to drive all my monitors).
It was only recently I put two and two together and realized farmers kill all the male calfs which result from impregnating cows so they can start being milked.

On the other hand... veal is delicious. But it does feel a bit bad.

At this point I just aim for local farms for meat as much as possible, and organic and pasture raised where I can't. Even if they still kill the male borns, at least I know the animals are being treated a bit better.
I'm debating a lot whether to reply in this thread, because I hesitate if it's worth my time only to be downvoted by people who use that function to express disapproval with legitimate opinions. I don't work for any of the device manufacturers, but I put myself in their place to think about why I would object. Maybe you should too as you debate over this.

It's possible that a certain class of things in modern life are not repairable in the way that they used to be. Things have generally been repairable because their size, complexity, and more importantly, their connectedness related to function is able to operate at the size of a person's hands.

Your lawn mower, your car, your refrigerator. These are the things that are self-contained and you can see the parts and handle them competently. Those are the kinds of examples he gives. He doesn't talk about trying to resolder the memory controller on a hard drive. Yet even hard drives have been around for 20 years, and no one talks about how they should be able to self-repair those.

Your cellphone is getting farther and farther away even from that. Its parts are microscopic. It takes an advanced factory to put those things together, and you demand at the same time that it be small and light and have good battery life. It relies on communicating with other hardware that are upgrading all the time. You don't play networked Doom II on your old computer for a reason. Do you use a 10 year old cell phone? How many of your friends do?

People every day are giving companies the signal that they value new and cool and small and light over the ability to repair and keep hardware around for a decade.

Those tiny earbuds are selling like hotcakes. They're impossible to fix, yet people buy them.

With your purchasing choices, you are signaling what companies are incentivized to make. Yet at the same time, you wish to tell the companies not to make those things in that way. Are they compatible?

I mean, have you really thought about what would result if you imposed requirements that batteries be interchangeable now? If those earbuds had to be maintainable by the user? Would they exist in anywhere near the form they do?

I think you have to think about the unintended side effects of what you want, and not just imagine that the one thing you want is all that happens. Very few people who advocate for this stuff seem to be responsible for designing the hardware, which makes you think whether they're completely right.
Nobody is forcing them to work. My guess is that being massively overpaid for what they do makes it worth it for them, otherwise we would've seen mass walkouts.
I've been building an alternative around asynchronous audio, called heysync[0].

I can't stand being in long video meetings where everyone waits around smiling and one person talks forever. I also deeply miss the easy chats we used to have in the office, when we didn't have to schedule meetings just to talk. But I don't want to dedicate my time to sitting in a discord-like audio channel while I'm doing work.

So, heysync is the answer to my own problems. It has a similar feature set to IRC or to Slack, because I love those products, but it's built with asynchronous audio communication in mind, in a way a Slack app just couldn't provide.

You just talk, and heysync transcribes the message and stores the audio for easy playback. Your colleagues can either read or listen to what you just said. They can listen live, or later, so you can seamlessly talk even if the person you're talking to isn't there, or is multitasking.

This is one of my favourite posts on Hacker News of all time. There are so many obvious lessons for the very definition of a programmer of any skill level to learn in this metaphor that it feels hollow in comparison to how beautiful the story is to life itself; even though that secondary comparison is quite valid in its own right.

Thanks for sharing.
Might as well be telling them about the price of rare baseball cards, or watches.

Nobody is using bitcoin for anything tangible, so why would anyone outside of speculators care?

As to drive the point home: The total market exchange, aka the amount of commerce happening, using starbucks gift cards is many multiples greater than the total market exchange of bitcoin.

So yeah, who cares?

Very useful as a currency, many people use it. Not to buy a snickers, but to easily and quickly transfer large sums of money.

Yes tether is useful for moving and storing the dollar equivalent value. The system works for many people and companies everyday. That's why it's growing.

Easy one - A less safe way to hold money in an active war zone is to hold it physically. With crypto you can hold the keys in your head.

> As much as I like E2EE, I don't see where the problem lies?

It's a step along a continuum where the end-to-end encrypted messenger wasn't uploading plaintext before, and now it is.

Apple's similar previously end-to-end encrypted iMessage went through a similar evolution: now iOS uploads the complete iMessage plaintext history to Apple (with Apple keys) via iCloud Backup.

We now know that Facebook deems it okay to exfiltrate plaintext, post-decryption, from the device in certain circumstances. This means we need to be cognizant and vigilant around the precise nature and boundaries of those circumstances, because "plaintext doesn't leave the device and get transmitted to Facebook" is no longer true.

A tap or two by one of the people you're talking to could upload your decrypted plaintext directly to the person-in-the-middle; this is a relatively significant footgun that we should remain aware of.
As an aside just talking bout WORK performance during this huge shift to WFH, it's been wild to seem ZOOM go wild this pandemic, while WORK stagnated. I wouldn't have expected that.
I don't disagree with that at all. Tech, EVs, etc are all pumped. What you said seemed to be more of a generalization that the market as a whole is pumped. That, I disagree with. Money will rotate out of the overpriced sectors and back into the underpriced sectors as Covid is (hopefully) eradicated.
This is inertial confinement fusion, not magnetic confinement fusion like you're thinking.
I took a break for a while once. Not for anything exciting like travel, I just was burned out. I spent 6 months working for UPS, unloading trucks and airplanes. It was great - I worked 2 hours a day, got in shape, learned a bit about a new industry, and got health coverage during my time off.

Eventually, I went back to work in tech, no longer burned out. It was a good time in my life. If you can manage the finances of not working, I do recommend it.
Same here, its going to be the same overall if you found something that you are passionate and really spend your time immersing yourself in it(and of course talent in that field counts). Find that and you will probably succeed
The next few paragraphs were not originally in the post. And you obviously get less information from knowing the user has updated some encrypted data than having the specific page of the specific book. It is also not inherently necessary for the server to have even that information; it could be sent directly from one device to the other(s) or via an independent third party relay (e.g. Tor).
Thank you for sharing this, very good story.

For me at least the vast majority of the data is being downloaded from various servers under bootstrap.libp2p.io or preload.ipfs.io. These are clearly dedicated servers not true peers.

The contact info for these servers appears to be retrieved via the DNS rather than the DHT. This isn't surprising because browser clients can't participate in the DHT, but the DHT is currently one of the biggest weak points of IPFS. IPFS's DHT is so chatty that it consumes over a megabit of throughput just to maintain an idle node. Lookups are excruciatingly slow and often fail completely.
You wont, human nature is more or less fixed, cognitive skills are normal distributed, we are not blank slates. You first recognize that the problem is difficult, recognize you cannot social-engineer humans without infringing their rights and you try to come up with some basic rules with the implicit understanding that A) They are not perfect B) They are not immutable, and you start working from there. This is the total opposite to what it is happening now in the way the powerful groups are managing this new global, social landscape.
It's a symptom of our time that everything gets reduced to an economic calculus. The concepts of sacrifice, passion, or duty seem like a distant memory.

Edit: To be clear, I'm not saying it's doctors and nurses thinking this way. But a lot of posters on HN certainly are.

It's amazing to me how people don't see the implications of this.

Well first of all, WhatsApp is officially going back on the E2EE guarantees of people's communications being read only by the sender and recipient. There was actually another instance of them doing something like this "when you would switch your SIM card" - TheGuardian called it a backdoor, which it was, but most people online dismissed that.

In the end what it means is that Facebook is continuing to find excuses for looking into your "E2EE data". First it's switching SIM cards, then it's reporting abuse, then it's.....law enforcement needing access for X....and then they might as well scrap the entire idea, because the "exception" to reading E2EE data becomes the rule.
The thing is that liberalism is now basically the only mainstream political philosophy in western countries. "Conservatives" and "liberals" are arguing over different aspects of liberalism.
One of those 30-40% checking in.

When I graduated with a CS degree in '07 (US) the first job offer I received was for $25k. I was so angry at that offer. I told the hiring manager that I couldn't possibly work for less than $35k they scoffed at that, I told them no thanks. I could make more money flipping burgers.

I kept looking for work.

Had another offer for $32k with one week of vacation a year, and no health care.

It took me over a year to land my first gig, only making $45k a year. No job since has paid me more.

I had phone interviews that last for less than two minutes because I didn't have industry experience when the posting clearly no experience needed/ will train.

I've had my time wasted by recruiters who send me to interviews that I'm not qualified for.

Interviewed with Amazon at one point, got invited to onsite interview, when my contact ghosted me while trying to arrange travel.

I've worked some programming jobs, all of them have been horrible in their own way. Alcoholics, cliques and fiefdoms, to being left to my own devices working alone often forgotten.

At this point my wife thinks its time for me to go back to school and get another degree, leave programming behind. I love computers. I'm a good programmer. I have no idea what I would do if I wasn't in technology.

What frustrates me the most, is the number of people I know in my personal life, that never got programming degrees that are now well paid programmers. All of them have degrees in non engineering fields, started non programming jobs that turned into programming jobs because they needed something coded up.

The second thing that frustrates me is the sheer number of people that I have interacted with that have pulled the ladder up behind them once they make it out.

It is frustrating knowing I am a good programmer and seeing bad programmers getting well paying jobs.

I guess where I'm trying to go with this, is that for some of us, we just can't seem to get ahead. Maybe we are just unlucky. Maybe we have been beaten down by the interview process or jobs and we don't want to deal with it anymore.

I know for a fact that had I just taken a regular 9-5 non-stem job I'd be ahead of where I am right now. And what scares me is the thought that if I keep trying, I might not ever do better in STEM.... I love STEM...
Most roles aren't the kind making that money. A few making big money does not make up for what's happening to the rest. And travel roles are weird/tough in other ways too.
It's a conspiracy theory so obviously evidence would be nigh impossible to present. Doesn't mean he or she is wrong though. Doesn't it seem somewhat realistic that some technological advances would be kept secret? There is shitloads of less valuable information that is kept secret (only to be discovered later) so it stands to reason that if an extremely valuable advancement was discovered then it might be concealed.
I feel for you and you have my sincere sympathy. I come from a family that has done nothing but agriculture to pay bills (despite being highly educated and skilled in many areas, I am not a farmer).

The problem with farming is that the total money you will make is fixed the moment land ownership is fixed. If you own X acres, you can make at max $$$ per year. Someone like my father is fine with that and lives his entire life on the farm. As time goes by other people sell their farms to larger farms and economy of scale makes the larger farms simply more efficient. They can get more $$$ from same acres for factors that someone like my father can not control.

Efficiency is a good thing that means less resources are used in producing per pound of the product which saves consumers more money and hence create more wealth. I still think it is possible for many of us to survive by doing things like co-operative farming. Basically many small farmers pool resources and land to act like a large company but while keeping the control of company and land still in your hands. These will not be billion dollar companies but still can survive the test of time.

Also, smaller farmers can survive by catering to different niches. For example there are lot of Hindus in bay area for whom cow is a holy animal and they like it to be treated well. A lot of them buy Strauss family farm's milk because the belief (I do not know it for a fact) among them that this farm treats cows much better than others. This milk is expensive. (Ancient Organics is a brand dependant on Strauss milk to produce some other times that Hindus in bay area seem to love like the Indian Ghee, which I am told is just as good as the home made one in India).

I'm surprised you noticed the aggression before 6 months. It's actually hard to even identify roosters as roosters in the first few months. They don't develop their physical traits fully for some time.

Re: birds and rape, wait til you see ducks...

I should note that there are roosters and then there are roosters. We had a really amazing one, a well bred barred rock who was a real gentleman. They have an important role in the flock, warning about and fending off predators. He died after sustaining wounds from diverting a fox over 100 feet away from his hens. Tussled with the fox from the coop all the way down to the road, distracting it from his hens, then hid under a passing car until we could rescue him. Miss that guy.

But it is important that the hen to rooster ratio is right, or they get competitive and mean.
I think your comment sounds a bit belittling to the work and hardships the nurses have to endure for the payment. In my book it is rather adequate.

I'm not sure how to relate having people die on you while being apart from your family to writing unit tests.
It may be not intended to sound that way
I believe this is true of conventional caged farming, not all of it. If they can aspire to "no-kill" on one level, no reason they can't do so across the board.

> There's no way to sell eggs and turn a profit without killing hens.

Would like to see a source on that.
> There's no reason the meat industry couldn't divert the male chickens into a separate supply chain...

I assume that that cost of an egg for a broiler chicken is less than the price delta for fewer pounds of worse meat that takes longer to produce, so it's still more cost effective to accept the male chicks as a sunk cost and move on.
>On the upside, traveling nurses are now routinely making 5-10K a week

That's an upside? That some folks are making more money? While others are seriously ill, die / can't see family and etc?

That match was played in 1986, just 4 years after the Falklands short war between Argentina and England, and it was the first time the two national teams met after that war. For those involved it meant a lot more than a football match.
