>>> a lot of people strap an Arduino to the Pi as an IO expander or to handle real-time elements,=

Including me. I actually prefer this to the GPIO, though it adds one more component. An advantage is that I can move my hardware projects between RPi and other computers in the house including my nice comfy and fast desktop workstation. With a bit of care, my Python support software runs the same on RPi and Windows with no code changes.

Also, if you keep things within the Arduino ecosystem, it's easy to upgrade or downgrade your microcontroller as needed, with only minor changes to your embedded code. What I'd like to know is if the development environment for this board is as nice (or better, can always hope) than the Arduino environment.
You don’t have to put an entire message text into APNS notification. Apple (and google GCM, and webpush) notifications only deliver a structured event to the application (which may or may not contain any text), and once the app is activated (if not yet), it has to connect to its own server to get a full representation of what was sent, update vv-status, etc. APNS/GCM are not instant messengers on their own, though may be used as such in simple cases.

Likely, iOS version of Signal uses the same “empty ping” technique, so you don’t have to worry about Apple reading your texts, unless you’re concerned with metadata leak. But unless they’re spoofing a websocket with fake packets, it will leak anyway.
Yes, with very few exceptions, late night driving, very rural locations (where you at least want to top off sooner than you normally might), etc. you basically don't need to plan driving an ICE. There will be some sort of gas station along your route. You're almost certainly not going to have to alter your route for sake of hitting a gas station in time. (And even if you have to wait for an available pump somewhere, the car in front is only going to take a few minutes to fill up.)

"Why are favicons cached separately?"

That's a great question. My guess is that it's because they are used for things like bookmarks and the chrome page that shows frequently visited websites. And that something about those uses made a separate cache logical. A bit of googling does show lots of confusion and bugs because of it though.
This reminds me of Rapamycin, an immunosuppressant that also makes most animals live much longer — something longevity hackers are experimenting with now.

I never got why the relays used in old computers were so large. Typically relays are power devices so they are kind of beefy. But for computers of that era I always thought it would be possible to create boards with much higher relay density. We did have quite advanced manufacturing technology at the time. Maybe it really wasn't as much of a concern and transistors and IC came online before it mattered.
Pfff, no, not judging from the number of bicycles I know have been stolen.

I'm not Jewish and absolutely loved it.
I do enjoy driving down country roads which won't have superchargers for some time, but these trips are usually <300-500miles and by it's nature the route is flexible enough to hit a supercharger near a highway if necessary.
> A year-old Bentley for $30k? The day might come as long as you are willing to be one of the ICE dinosaurs!

The depreciation curves aren't quite that steep, but there are still some startlingly low prices on ICE cars that used to be very expensive.

Edmunds ran a long term test on an used MB CL65. They paid $40K in 2014 for a car that initially stickered in 2005 for $180K. So at least more accessible than it used to be. Of course, their ownership was then punctuated with hard to find parts and $16K repair bills. A year later, they had to drop their asking price from $28K to resell it at $25K.

Or you take the view that if a city is investing in transportation infrastructure, it should focus on public transportation instead of building infrastructure for private vehicles that degrade the urban experience.
And Facebook, too. I miss using Pidgin for my facebook messages.
Car power plant is important, but also everything else is. I just bought ICE german luxury car just because there is nothing even close to it in the EV department. Teslas interior are falling apart and build quality is really poor. I also do not want to share telemetry.

I do road trips sometimes and have no spare time to charge. Opinion: It seems like until there is something better than lithium batteries are coming up, EV market is just no good.
The main thing about homo sapiens is that we are a cultural species, capable of evolving and select for culture much faster than genetic evolution, passing know-how and tools down to the next generation to improve.

The culture, tools and values we grow around with has so much power to shape our thinking and values (not even talking about opportunities) that I would be surprised if it didn't dwarf most genetic influence. (Hard to prove: how do you know success was passed down via culture vs genes?)

This is why we are so interested to learn about geniuses: by adapting their values and thinking, we might be able to copy some of their success. This is the process of cultural learning, for better or worse.
> EVs are great for people with garages, but not so much for the people in cities with no dedicated parking spot.

That's one of the reasons I'm hopeful for self-driving taxis. Unless cities magically start allowing garages to be built.
I always find it weird that people who have enough money to spend $40k (minimum) on a Tesla care so much about saving $80/mo.
Reading this discussion got me thinking. I've been using KDE now for years specifically because every part of it can be customized, but for the most part, i've used the same theme and configurations now for pretty much the entire time i've been using kde.

I still think it comes down to branding though, even with those totally customizable environments. The difference is, it's not someone else's brand. I get to turn my environment into my own 'brand'.

That's always kind of been the appeal of theming and customization to me, the ability to remove someone else's brand from my computer and replace it with my own.
I used it as ICQ client back in 2000's. And I use Pidgin as a Jabber messenger with self hosted XMPP server.
Both things are concerns, at least when you get to longer trips on secondary roads in rural areas.
> Because 1ms "that sounds kinda good enough :?"

Ugh. You wouldn't think so, but I caught a case of this in production, using millisecond timestamps as unique ids for browser analytics. The developer felt that even though two users could in rare cases click at exactly the same millisecond, their clocks weren't likely to be in perfect sync with each other, and that this "additional level" of randomness made a collision virtually impossible.
Wouldn't it be better to do less branching?

Long ago, I wrote a text search that used the 8088 XLAT instruction in a very short loop to do a text search, the carry flag got set when there was a hit.

On modern machines, it would all end up in cache quickly, the branch would be well predicted, and it would just zip through text.

It handled upper/lower case (you just set the bits corresponding to both upper and lower case of the letter)... but it couldn't do regex.

The computer on an EV will tell me the state of the battery. You can ship an ICE over to the best mechanic in the world, and that mechanic won't be able to reliably tell you state of, for example, the bottom end bearings. Not without cracking the engine open, anyway. A compression test will reveal a lot, but it could still break a piston ring tomorrow.

That said, I'd not hesitate to buy a Honda with over 100K miles on the clock. But the point is that checking the state of a singular point of most likely failure (battery) is many orders easier to check than the state of an ICE.

I will throw in another vote for Debian.

>I am a practical person so while I appreciate purity I simply don't have time for it.Software is a means to an end.

This describes myself as well, and this is why I have used Debian (stable) for years on my personal servers and desktops. For an example, you can turn on unattended upgrades and not have to think much about it. The Debian maintainers work hard to keep the package repository stable.

Obviously, this is a biased opinion, since I use Debian. I have used Arch in the past, and had some mishaps where I broke things by installing updates. On Arch, you need to vet updates more carefully. I don't want to have to be careful, because I want things to "just work" (as much as is possible in the realm of linux), so I use Debian.
I've been working on a side project for more than a year with the full-time job. I've set a rule for myself to set aside min 10mins to an hour per day for the side project. No matter what, even I'm extreme busy, at-least I go through the code and fix the minor bug or something. The day will not pass without touching my side project :)

That's how I was able to maintain it and keep focus on it. Just sharing my thoughts.
I read Principia. I could follow the proofs through about 3/4ths of it. It really is tricky.

I had an easier time of it as I had read (several times) Euclids elements. So, the geometric proofs weren’t off-putting. Nevertheless, Principia is a difficult book to follow towards the end. At the end of the day, all he’s doing is providing a geometric proof as to why an inverse squared force will (must) produce an elliptical orbit. But, damn, he takes a winding path to get there, resorting to several new concepts along the way.

Writing data migrations that fail safely is tricky, and requires some extra care. Temp tables, adding new columns instead of modifying, feature flags, etc. all help with this. Basically, you want to run stuff in production with less risk.

On the AWS/CloudFormation side, "Cattle, not pets" is the motto[0]. Terraform specifically is really good at capturing the desired vs current state of your infra, and showing you what those changes will be before you apply them.

Google to Withdraw Search in Australia If Her Proposed Code Becomes Law
The company had to install an older version of Flash that didn't include the 2021 "time bomb". Adobe no longer hosts the Flash installers on their website, so the company had to download a copy of Flash from some random website.

I'm surprised the time bomb affected them. Adobe publishes a separate build of Flash for China, which doesn't have the time bomb and will continue to be supported until at least 2023.

And even if they are using the non-China version of Flash, they didn't need to install a "pirated" version. The Flash time bomb can be disabled for individual websites using Flash's enterprise management features. This is documented on Adobe's website.

They would still need to find a browser that will load the plugin. Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari no longer even load the plugin. The Firefox ESR branch (Extended Support Release intended for enterprises) is based on Firefox 78 and still loads the Flash plugin. Firefox 78 ESR will continue to receive security patches (for Firefox, not Flash!) until 2021 Q3.
What strategies can a team implement for CD if deploys and merges to master take about an hour to deploy today?

Our problem is that we need to manually cut a release branch with the right version number manually then go through logistical steps before we can merge.

Docker alone takes about 30 minutes to build.
On the road for long trips, yes absolutely. But the EV usecase also includes low and medium speed charging at home overnight, and while at your destination (say a retailer) which you can't do with your ICE car. So overlapping but not identical comparison.
While I do greatly miss the ability to theme, I'm not sure it would work with a modern architecture. You used to have window "Chrome", titlebars, borders, buttons, etc as very distinct and separate from the window content. Now the line has blurred greatly. On top of that, the number of cross platform apps has increased so even if you could control the bog standard apps, things like Slack wouldn't follow.

This last bit used to be a big problem with Linux, if you ran a Gnome theme, and fired up a KDE app, it was like an alien suddenly landed on your desktop. Statically linked apps were often worse because a static linked KDE app wouldn't even have the same theme as the dynamically linked ones. Java based apps, apps built with other toolkits, all added their own unique and clashing bits of chaos to your interface.

One of the upsides to MacOS, is third party toolkits have a single target look to try and mimic.

Even so, I still miss being able to theme. The recent post about Mira Furlan passing reminded me of a Babylon 5 theme I wrote for Windowmaker what seems like a lifetime ago.
Seeing how manual transmission cars from the mid aught's are demanding a massive premium (like 100%+ on 1,3, and 5-series), I could see in 2045 ICE cars demanding a premium. Manual ICE cars even more so. But that's assuming they aren't projected to be illegal/heavily taxed by then.
There are plenty of things that are legal but unethical.

It is incredibly critical every citizen be capable of choosing -not- to do things that are legal and would benefit them, because they find them unethical.

Thirty minutes is too long. We need ten minutes.

Once a battery has sufficient capacity for the intended use, it’s charging time that counts.

For example, the battery capacity on my Apple watch is more than adequate. I’d like to see the charging time cut in half. Then it would charge enough while I’m shaving each morning.
An alternative would be to make some tea/coffee/yerba mate, sweeten it, and take a B-complex vitamin. Now you know exactly what you're getting and what you aren't. For the record, excess sugar and processed/packaged/canned goods highly correlate with inflammation in my own experience.

Also there was a study that showed greater than 160mg of caffeine per day may increase inflammation in those predisposed to it, whereas the group that consumed <120mg had no negative effects. Can try to dig it up if someone is interested.

RedHat is not a "product" company but a "service" company, so comparing it to other big tech companies is an apples to oranges comparison. The nature of big tech is scalability (product), whereas Redhat is more of a sustainable business focused on providing support around OSS software, it isn't aiming to do anything new and revolutionary. Not every company has to be gunning towards world domination..

That might be true, but I wouldn't expect the microarchitectures that achieve this performance to be free (in either the "gratis" or "libre" senses of that word). Designing a superscalar application processor requires an enormous amount of work by engineers who are experts in their field, and that work needs to be compensated somehow.

The ISA may be open, but there is no requirement for the microarchitecture implementing the ISA to be, and it's hard to imagine anyone doing the work to produce a performance-competitive chip and then giving it away. Even if there is a "consortium" model where multiple companies benefit from a single design, they would likely set up some sort of licensing arrangement to prevent free-riding by companies that did not contribute to the design.
Compared to any Linux desktops and WM's that was nothing.
Deployment means shipping working code, but in my professional experience most people conflate that to publication. Publication is about making something available to an audience, whether internal or external, which is much more than just adding a functional piece to another place. This is just the start of getting a deployment process terribly wrong, but everything else wrong seems to result from this.

I SpaceX is serious about transporting people across the globe using Starships, they have to offset the massive amount of CO2 released by those Raptor engines, otherwise they will inevitably face regulations and public backlash that could kill the project.

No, that is not what I'm saying. I'm saying that this kind of configurability acts as an additional accessibility feature, and further could probably serve as a replacement for bespoke accessibility features these operating systems do have (like "dark mode" vs "light mode").
Most native desktop development in Windows is nowadays based on WPF and as parent mentioned WPF broke the consistency with the rest of Win32.
