Complete sentences shouldn't be a foreign concept for people new to programming.

> All GPIOs can be configured to different functions including but not limited to SDIO, Audio, SPI, I2C, UART and PWM

Does supporting audio mean that these GPIOs can be used as analog-to-digital converters? There are home automation applications where reading a voltage in an ethernet connected device is a good fit but from what I've seen in a raspberry that requires extra hardware connected to the IO ports.
Thank you for the question! There are not many licenses to choose from that people accept. For example GPL and AGPL are generally frowned upon. I think Apache 2.0 offers the greatest freedom, while being more nuanced than MIT. It helps with borad community contribution and adoption which was the initial goal (never intended for this to become a business, it just so happened).

> Also I have to say that about a year ago I wanted to teach myself about OAuth and I find almost every online guide and book to be terrible (and usually trying to sell me something). Two things finally put it all together for me: reading the OIDC spec and reading the Hydra & Kratos code and docs.

Awesome! I was in the exact same boat. Usually OAuth2 is a marketing thing for companies that are closed source, because it is the only "open" thing they can offer. Then they bend the protocol to fit the actual use case - which is sign in, registration, and so on. OAuth2 was never intended to be a protocol for "login". It's a protocol for Developer X to get access to your Facebook Fotos.

My personal goal with Ory is to educate people around security (good security is easy, not hard) and clean up the misconceptions. I hope this helps the developer ecosystem become more secure and better educated as a whole!
There isn't a "deadline" to fixing these problems, they just need to be fixed. Unfortunately, like most things, fear will primarily guide our actions not sober analysis of the long-term unintended consequences of them.
Twitter May Have Had Its Own Insurrection If It Didn’t Dump Trump
I dont understand your point... Couldn't people watch this video and think that they were right? Hence twitter was doing exactly the same thing than parler. It is not because you are under the impression that twitter is a democrat tool that people not thinking like you are using the platform to commit crime, promote violence, learn how to be violent and racist

Right, it's all about the optics. It smacks of desperation.
My experience is that Windows Subsystem for Linux has been amazing on Windows and just keeps getting better. I've also never noticed any difference in spinning up VMs.

But anyway I get keeping with familiar tools but, I just disagree that MacOS is a better or even "sane" terminal platform. All the ancient GNU tools Mac ships and BSD-style "but Posix!" pedantry drives me up the wall.
I stopped using Dropbox and starting using Microsoft OneDrive. For the same price, I get the same amount of storage, plus an Outlook account, Office 365 on-line, the iOS and Android apps, and installable desktop versions of the Office Suite.
Facebook and Twitter have evident moderation (if maybe insufficient) working on removing or flagging such calls to violence. The argument of this case is not about whether there were user messages calling for execution of public figures, it's about whether Parler did anything about it.

So “Big Tech” is in the spotlight for suppressing speech explicitly.

Clients share files with me using Dropbox so I need a Dropbox account. My Dropbox account is now close to full and I have to "manage it". I don't like how files shared with me count against my quota and I don't like having to babysit a service my clients use to share files. I wonder how many business owners "just pay" to make the nag messaging go away.
> Burmese people seemingly accepting the false claim the ethnically-cleansed Rohingya actually were Bangladeshi regardless of where they stand on other things

That was largely a result of campaigning against giving rights to the Rohingya.

> the outpouring of support for Aung Sung Suu Kyi after Western criticism that might have been signals that they believed the conflict was the generals' doing rather than hers or might have been mass endorsement of the government's violence

Yeah, because Aung Sung Suu Kyi keeps denying, on live TV, that any problem exist other than the insurrectionists are responsible for everything thats happened thus far. The insurrectionists/terrorist according to her are composed of muslim Rohingya that are financed by foreign "Muslim" powers.

The matter of the fact is that most power is held by the military, NOT Aung Sung Suu Kyi. Thus, Aung Sung Suu Kyi stance on this issue is probably a result of the military's position. At any moment, the army can choose to remove her from power. Her position is that fragile.

As a longtime Linux user I felt snubbed for when Dropbbox decided that ext4 was the only file system that they were going to support. God forbid that Red Hat decide that XFS was the default file system in RHEL7 and Dropbox couldn't make the effort to support the premier Linux distro?

I'm 100% on Syncthing these days. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done and I'm happy there's no big company involved. I set it up my way!

why isn't Apple building the Wireguard protocol into the OS directly as Linux is doing?
Fair enough. And how do you find customers for your work? I mean before you have a strong network built up.
Yes and that's not vendor specific for sure.

I occasionally look after a fairly large Windows WPF application which is half integrated with Microsoft Word and there are hundreds of lines of code dedicated to quite horrible workarounds for issues caused by API changes and weird ass behaviour. There are a lot of if statements for different Word versions as well.

For example: when saving a file "safely" (i.e. without weird ass side effects such as locking or document metadata corruption), if your word version is 7, 8, 9 or 10 you must use SaveAs2000 API call. If your word version is 11, 12 you must use SaveAs API call. If your word version is any other one then you need to use SaveAs2. This is entirely not documented past telling you that you are told not to call half of them and most of the reasons behind using them were discovered by taking the VSTO libraries to bits.

At the end of the day, the objective is to make sure the end user never sees the hell you had to go through and entirely takes your efforts for granted. They don't care and efforts to appeal to them are frowned upon, even if we whine and complain about it in our own circles.
I like these on slack as well, and it's particularly nice that they're almost always positive or celebratory
For sure, that's horrible. But the hot question is: is Amazon the entity who should decide to shut it down?

I would personally prefer to have that decision be taken by a governmental agency or anything else managed by an elected person. Now, I'm not a US citizen, and I have zero trust in the current US administration, but in a "normal" context I would want to have at least some governmental overview of the shutdown process instead of delegating the full power to a private corporation.

Edit: In a "Trump" context, I really don't know... Really sad to see this country dying slowly.

Debian Developer here. Backporting fixes to tenths of thousands of packages is already a huge amount of (thankless) work.

> known hate groups

So what’s the criteria for being labeled a “known hate group” these days?

Surely this nomenclature won’t generalize to become anything not in your tribe /s
The argument is Facebook and Twitter are doing a better job of moderating, and Parler isn't or is outright not moderating their content.

This may well be true. But the point is now we're arguing a very subjective standard, and the determiners of those standards aren't a judge or jury, but a few CEOs. The standard of "when is it justified to refuse to host an entire platform based upon the nature of how they moderate their worst content" is an incredibly complex question, with no objective answer, and how these company's answer it has a profound effect on freedom of speech, since deplatforming a site like Parler doesn't just censor the speech of those who ought to be censored (by any standard), but everyone else on the platform.

It's fairly obvious where this will lead, but I doubt we will correct it before it causes immense harm (not necessarily directly, but due to the blowback that will come from censorship without due process and tit-for-tat escalation.)
It's incredible to me how contentious the inauguration of this center/right Democrat is. Truly we live in interesting times.

This year from IKEA, introducing the subscription powered AutoShelf! Tired of curating your own collection? This bookshelf keeps track of what and how long you read using ultrasonic pulses to determine spine-crackage. Once a month, a crate of new books will arrive. Simply attach the crate to the AutoShelf to restock your collection. Once its done, leave the crate (now filled with your old, dusty books) on the curb for our gig-service to pick up!
What if opting out of data collection were easy?
Disagree. Yes, government regulation would be nice. But it's a little unfair to accuse the OP of trying to reinvent government by proposing that consumers organize outside of government.

People organize to engage in collective action outside of governments all the time. In addition to labor unions, consider civil society nonprofits. It's not bizarre or (as another comment suggested) some kind of tech-bro magical thinking to say "hey, the government isn't regulating this group of people, let's organize to get some collective power going."
I once felt this way, until my 10 year old got a TikTok account. The problem is that my children do not have the ability under the law to enter into any kind of agreement with anyone. Only legal guardians do.
> Today, in response to various local, state and federal officials asking people not to travel to Washington, D.C., we are announcing that Airbnb will cancel reservations in the Washington, D.C. metro area during the Inauguration week.

Makes sense, at first I just assumed it was an unnecessary blanket ban but if the area isn't condoning travel in general it checks out.

It's not just the useless internet points, it's moving your point of view or points of view that you agree with higher on the page so it's seen by more people. Downvotes often have less to do with the quality of the content and more to do with gaming the page layout to get more impressions.
> That's great to hear but I'm guessing your wife's school is located in an upper class neighborhood where there's plenty of room and time for homeschooling

Nope. She has a good number of students from low income families and the school where most of her kids came from before virtual is a Title 1 school. All the students doing the virtual program get a Chromebook and access to an internet connection (meaning they worked with Spectrum to get internet to families who didn't have it or they get a wifi hotspot or they have community locations with wifi access). Some of these students are at a daycare, with family, etc. during the day while the parents work.

Now there are definitely inequalities in the school system don't get me wrong but for my wife at least she cares deeply about that subject and tries her best to make sure each student has everything they need to succeed.

I'm really only using it on Linux. VS and VSCode (with the Docker and .NET plugins) can generate docker files with one click/command for .NET projects, which also use the right dlls from your project as entrypoints, etc.

From that it's just standard Docker - it doesn't matter that you are running .NET core in it really. You can do anything you could normally in Docker and K8S.

The rubrics you describe basically cover a whole spectrum of people who also fit into the millennial category, and in my experience they're among the most easily, absurdly offended and politically correct people in modern society... I have more hope for younger generations than them.

Eh. Some of the vulnerabilities in that class were Intel-specific. But there is a whole class of vulnerabilities that potentially can hit any design that has speculative execution--and people just aren't OK with shutting off speculative execution because the performance hit is so big.

Yes, the Slashdot options for downvotes are: Offtopic, Flamebait, Troll, Redundant

If it were up to me, and aside from the neutral "I disagree", I'd add one for "Factually incorrect" because that's pretty much the only time I downvote on HN.

I notice that often comment blocks will have a confidently incorrect technical post at the top of the discussion followed by a gish gallop of derailed technical debate.

Same here. Never downvoted a single post. What I did notice though it looks like sometimes if someone does not like a particular post that someone will go wild and downvote few other totally unrelated posts from the same author.

Yeah I think there is still definitely a segment that want the disk syncing, but for me it was actually becoming a hinderance and having everything online was actually much easier. Plus I started doing more file storage that I was accessing both on desktop and iphone. Certainly the original use case for Dropbox of local sync was amazing and exactly what I needed years ago, but my work/life needs have changed over time and I wouldn't be surprised if a larger amount of people are falling in to the cloud first category today as compared to when Dropbox originally launched.

Back then cloud syncing just made no sense at all because the speeds were pretty bad and inconsistent.

Not saying everyone falls into this category, but just pointing out that the market has evolved somewhat from their original position.

Indeed, not only do we get more and gentler feedback in real-life, but we get more-on-point feedback than the downvote. We have cues for boredom, skepticism, annoyance, confusion.

Of course then again, all of this body-language pales in comparison to a well-written response.
Absolutely, it is. It's still miles above every single corporate wiki I've tried to use. Your milage may vary.
> Honestly the prep is the worst part

Not to mention the follow up bill from the out of network anesthesiologist.
Completely agree! Dropbox was at its best when it had almost no UI outside of "sync status" and "pause/resume" in a menu. Now they constantly shove their terrible UI in your face when all you ever want to do is sync/view your files.
It annoys me that they're adding features I don't need, reducing usability and increasing the cost. I wish there was a competent alternative that was just a plain cloud storage service (and worked well on both Mac and Linux).
Get an email when your website is posted online
Pretty sure 'people' is not a sensible axis. Unless it's "number of people" but that doesn't seem right.
There are a total of 4 images. The first two are Bing and DuckDuckGo which show the website URL as the first result when you are searching for 8kun. The last two images are from Google search results, actually one page but split into two images so it clearly shows that Google does not link to the site AT ALL.
You are connecting unrelated dots. While it could be argued that the "cloud provider" space is an oligopoly (though I would not argue that), simply deciding to not serve a specific business, even as group, is not an antitrust issue. No business has a "right to service".

Antitrust is more concerned with anti-competitive behaviors: pricing-fixing, group boycotts[0], buying a competitor with the express purpose of removing competition, etc. Amazon and Parler are not in the same market - they are not competing for anything. Antitrust is not going to be a fruitful legal avenue.

If Amazon were somehow influencing Parler's ability to "do it themselves" (e.g. preventing a seller from providing them with boxes), then yes, there may be some legal standing.

[0] Look this one up. It's not what you are thinking.
Yes it's the decent thing to do.

Building a tool that works juuuuust enough for people to set it up and start relying on it, and then never ever fixing the most salient and impactful bugs because "people aren't entitled anything after all" is just wrong.

It would be much more honest to state up front that said tool should not be relied on for any use beyond one's hobby, that it will not be supported, and that the whole package is just "up there" for anyone interested, without any guarantee. And no, having that written in the default LICENSE file is not sufficient.
