setting this up isn't nearly as hard as you think take dask everything is simple and all the k8s setup has been done for you.
Thanks, much appreciated.

That’s the sort of thing I expect - the OS starves the program, not the other way around.
Sounds like they're just behaving like parents with young kids.

I routinely stay up too late just to have some quiet, waking conscious alone time after a full day of work and time with the kids (which are now hopelessly intertwined).

The difference is presumably the digital contract, that is written in a programming language that only a handful of people on earth can understand, where a programming error can make your money disappear, such that you have no recourse in the court system.

Another difference is the pyramid scheme incentives in the cryptocurrency tech, causing everyone who's bought into it to be incentivised to talk about how great it is.
Bitcoin will continue to use PoW while the main chain transaction fees are enough to buy adequate security for the network. This could be a very long time, or indefinite if it continues on it’s current trajectory. And if it does, then some governments will almost certainly take an interest in mining as a way to generate revenue from available energy, as Venezuela is already doing.
"Daily use" might be a biiit of a stretch with this hardware, but it'll be functional.

I think Pinephone 2, whenever that happens, will be a much more practical convergence device. Pine64's plans to upgrade to the RK3566 SOC in their low-power devices look very promising.
There was a brief push by the government to encourage funding of things like Solyndra under Obama, but obviously that didn't all pan out.

I think that putting substantial funding into making the US the world leader in climate change related technology is such an obvious slam dunk that it defies belief for me that there seems to be no political will to do it.

Argue about the reality of climate change if you must, but the simple facts are that there is finite oil, finite coal, finite natural gas and the extraction and processing of those fuels is an expensive and dirty business. Of course solar, wind, hydro and nuclear don't compete yet -- how about putting in the same R&D money as fossil fuels? And when you make it work, the entire world will buy this tech from you. It could clearly be the US's next economic gold rush, after the Internet and post-WW2 manufacturing (and, I guess, the gold rush).

I do wonder if the economic approach is just doomed to be a non-starter, and if the faster way is to frame it as a national security issue. That leads to a number of other problems, but time is clearly of the essence and they know how to spend money over there.

it's advertised as "small". how small is that? an Alpine minirootfs is ~2.5 MB tar.gz and ~6.0 MB on ext4 (4k overhead).
Levels of annoying the users of your API
If it works for defense projects... Calculate how many jobs it takes to build a thing. Keep building things. Advertise job numbers?
As someone with a demanding job that often takes the whole day (plus now, a kid) I do this very often. I didn't even know it had a name.

The piece seems to imply it's a wrong choice, because it would be better to just go to sleep. Maybe in many cases it is. For me, that's not the case, because if I don't get some "me time", I just can't sleep well. I'd rather go to bed at 1:30 and sleep well than go at 12 and spend two hours rolling in the bed because I'm still thinking about work and haven't had time to "unwind" my mind. So I don't think it's a bad decision, and it doesn't feel like "revenge" either, just some needed personal upkeep time (like sleeping itself).

Of course, I know it would be best to remove the stress, so as to have time both for myself and sleep and not have to choose the lesser of two evils... easier said than done, though.
But that does have to be enforced via incentives/cryptography, and with reference to a clock.
>as it plows back through the atmosphere.

I would assume that if you're tracking it on re-entry that's a little too late.
That's very true.

However, the activities described in the article -- "Rao would stay up surfing the internet, reading the news and watching online videos until well after midnight" -- don't sound like the kind of quality "me time" that makes life more worth living.

I say this as someone trapped in a similar cycle. My wife and I are exhausted after both working from home and pandemic parenting/homeschooling every day. By the time the kids are asleep (10:30 for the older one) we "need" some time to veg on the couch, and end up going to bed at 11:30, when really we would have been better off going to bed 45 minutes earlier.

But the "me time" trap makes us somehow believe that the hour or so we spend on our phones is necessary for us, when in fact it's stupid, wasted time, reading about politics or being on Twitter of whatever.

(Ok, we also have been teaching ourselves the piano, and playing chess and stuff, but many nights we still feel like we "deserve" some brain-dead "me time.")
I'd definitely consider the trackpad terrible on my Pinebook Pro, but I'm surprised to hear you find the keyboard barely accepable, I thoroughly enjoy it.

Like other commenters said, it's just Linux so you can do pretty much anything.

For Qt, the current stack seems to be Kirigami, which is KDE's library for convergent apps. There's also the Mauikit framework, which is built on top of Kirigami (I don't know enough to know the exact differences).

For Gtk, it's libhandy, which adds a few widgets for convergent apps.

It looks like Flutter doesn't support ARM yet, I found this after a quick search: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/60678

There's also a few Electron/Webkit-based apps (especially for UBPorts), which is a nice temporary solution to get an app on the device while there isn't yet a native equivalent.
Yes. Though FWIW I think math classes, graphics classes, and just practicing graphics over the years and crawling into rabbit holes, got me more familiar with all the math needed to do ray tracing than anything required for a CS degree.
Define 'kill'. ETC has been 51% attacked multiple times and it still exists. It's very possible some people are going to mine btc on their personal hardware even in 2100.
The only caveat is the difficulty adjustment algorithm, as it's potentially possible for btc to become stuck at an extremely high difficulty.

For 'kill' as in 'stops being big and important' I think it's going to happen relatively soon, mostly agreeing with your article. Bitcoin already lost its past domination in users and total fees paid to ethereum, the only missing part is for eth to actually monetize that by fully switching from PoW to PoS. When eth stakers start making even billions annually while btc buyers lose billions annually to mining, btc losing its first place is only a matter of time. After that, PoW is going to be widely discredited and viewed as obsolete.

>Sounds like they're just behaving like parents with young kids.

That was my thought as well. After the wife and kid (not so young now) get to bed is when I actually get quiet time to myself, which I need to unwind from the day.

It's actually gotten much worse due to WFH. My daily commute (via transit) provided some of that quiet time to gear up in the morning and unwind in the evening.
Porting Space Station 13 with Transpilation
One important piece of military preparedness is having a population of experienced engineers, manufacturing infrastructure, leadership, R&D, etc. Institutional knowledge is very real. Weapons programs also simply take decades. You might be able to churn out web apps in a few months, but cutting edge aircraft, not so much.

What do we have? Unprecedented world peace. Why do we have it? American foreign policy.

You have to remember our military budget covers all of NATO in an intentional bid to reduce the military power of our allies which helps keep them peaceful.

Thank you for this thoughtful post and prompt

> What helps you to sympathize and communicate with others?

You and others have suggested good ideas. Another that I find useful is to always give something. It doesn’t have to be falsely giving in on a fact. It can be “Y’know I was thinking the exact same thing then I ran into this paper!” or “This is interesting, I hadn’t thought of it this way. And...”

I think the tiniest, almost inconsequential gift and saving of face that that represents can totally change the tone of a conversation

Just my two cents
I'm fascinated by this thing where people tacitly assume that employee time is free. Even people who like to actually receive their paychecks.

The money spent paying someone to set up a Mac server somewhere else, getting that somewhere else connected to your AWS networks, and ensuring that connection is secure, and generally integrating it into your existing cloud devops infrastructure (or, perhaps more expensively, not integrating it into your existing devops infrastructure), would, I'm guessing, be horrendously expensive compared to the premium Amazon charges on a relatively turnkey solution for use cases such as, "We need to run the occasional Darwin build."
Are votes illegitimate because the voter is a communist? Whether someone has a right to vote in a democratic system shouldn't depend on their politics or gender or race.
You do realize the money spent on these projects comes out of pockets of all taxpayers?

So we are really talking about wealth transfer from all taxpayers to some taxpayers who are usually doing well already plus huge losses on the way.

Obviously, there is a bunch of technology being developed that benefits US but let us not kid ourselves, it is not the most cost effective way of doing research.
In Python 2, int and long were separate types, where int was either a 32- or 64-bit signed integer, and long was arbitrary precision. Python 3 unified the types under the name int:

This was a nice enhancement with very few drawbacks, but I can see how it wouldn't necessarily be appropriate in Go.

Experts and Expertise
Any news articles or third-party reports to confirm that figure of 250M strikers? The only sources I've found on it so far are far-left political websites.

I hesitate to trust e.g. Fox News when reporting on the size of Trump's inauguration; likewise, I am skeptical to trust far-left websites reporting on the size of a far-left rally (as pics of hammer-and-sickle flags seem to indicate). An independent report on the size of these strikes would be helpful.
I'll go even further: find a way to grant them all the rights of citizenship (representation for their taxation) and let them decide for themselves on statehood. If there's any downside (I honestly don't know, maybe there is?), those people should be given the choice to determine their course of action for themselves.

But I agree completely, having people who pay taxes and can't access all the machinery of government they fund is criminal. (This also includes disenfranchised felons, but especially disenfranchised ex-felons.)

If you're ok with saying "shame on you Apple" every time they pull a trick like this, then I don't know how to convince you.

I'm just saying that as Apple gets more power this may get worse, hence the shortsightedness remark.
Other press describes protests of tens of thousands. 250M is far-fetched.
Neocova | Frontend and Backend Engineer | Fulltime | Remote (U.S.)

Neocova believes that when local banks and credit unions thrive, the communities they serve prosper. For many community banks, a combination of increased competition from big banks and fintechs, steep regulatory costs and out-dated core banking technology is making it nearly impossible to offer competitive products and services to their customers.

Neocova is building a suite of tools designed to help these institutions manage operations more efficiently. This includes products that allow them to streamline compliance requirements and make sense of their data to surface customer insights.

We are currently hiring for Frontend and Backend Engineer roles with 2-5 years of experience. Our headquarters are in St. Louis but we have a remote workforce concentrated in New York, Austin, Portland, Kansas City and Central Florida.

The roles can work remotely anywhere in the U.S. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in React, Node.js, Express, Docker, pubsub and queue systems such as Redis, serverless functions, distributed computing systems, and OpenAPI / Swagger.

>Well, there was a bit of incompetence.

Where? What evidence do you have for such a claim?

>The auxiliary cable was almost certainly installed incorrectly

Are you almost certain? How do you know? What stopped you from being completely certain?

>and the failure mode that occurred (cable slipped out of its socket) would not have happened if best practices were followed.

Are you a radio observatory specialist? Please share! Looking at your submission and comment history, you don't appear to have any special expertise at all. Curious where your very specific and definite pronouncements arise from.

>But it was installed on the cheap

Again: What's your evidence for this claim? And inferring this from historical under-funding isn't a satisfactory answer.

>So at some level, yeah, the root cause is a lack of funds.

Kind of strange to make all of those claims above and then come out and just plainly state this at the conclusion.

You've made lots of claims and I think you're just talking out of your ass. If that's the case, your comments are shameful and inappropriate.
I'm somewhat familiar with Gauss-Kuzmin theorem. If I understand it well, it means that large partial quotients are rare in most numbers. This is fairly intuitive, and conforming to the experiences of anybody who has done practical computations of continued fractions, as you certainly have.

Notice that this result does not say that most numbers have bounded partial quotients. In fact, a classical result in diophantine approximation theory, if I recall correctly, says that the set of numbers whose partial fractions are bounded (called badly aproximable numbers) is of Lebesgue measure zero. Thus, if your system represents real numbers by sequences of bounded partial quotients, then it can only represent a negligible (but uncountable) set of real numbers. A "random" number in [0,1] will certainly have an unbounded sequence of partial quotients (i.e., with probability 1).

Except for all the demanding jobs where you need to unofficially work outside your working hours... I live in one of those countries with a reasonable working hours limit, but I'm an academic, my partner is a doctor, both of us work "voluntarily" outside working hours. I need to prepare clases, request grants, and do research in a hypercompetitive environment where you need better CV than competitors. She needs to be up to date with the latest findings in medicine.

It does work for workers in many sectors, though. I'm not criticizing working hours regulations, far from it - just saying we should probably do more than that.

According to the article there are many other objections/demands and this is not just about free market pricing:

Some of the key demands contained in the 12-point charter put forward by the organizers include withdrawal of a series of laws recently passed by the Modi government repealing key labor and farm price protections, a rollback in the recent disinvestment policies in major government-owned enterprises, implementation of existing welfare schemes for rural workers, and expanding welfare policies to aid the masses affected by the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Privatization of government-owned enterprises sounds like a potential red flag just by itself if they're key services like the power grid or a health system (just hypothetical, since it's not clear which services are in question). Repealing labor protections is potentially very bad. A lack of aid for masses impacted by the COVID pandemic by itself is already justification for a strike by itself if the government is ignoring the needs of the people.
I think enough people want that kind of TL;DR that it's reasonable to put one right up front. I see a similar sort of thing with DIY projects, where they tend to get better attention if the first picture is the finished product, and then it works you through the process. It's partly to placate people who only want to see the finished product, but it also gives enough of a hook to everyone else that I suspect some people will read the article who otherwise wouldn't.
