Why is it "being enforced politically" or not important ? You are worried about it being "fair" ?

Some humans who run a biz serving other humans stood up and announced "you and you camp Auschwitz shirt friends are odious, we don't want that stank on us".

Is it political ? Maybe. Or maybe they are simply decent humans calling out some pieces of shit.

Other times and places in history people haven't stood up to the evil. In some, they did.

Amazon is fighting the good fight here. Facebook has been an open collaborator. Amazon drew a line in the sand and said " we are on this side, hope you join us"

Amazon was late, but ended up on the right side of history. Evil needs to be told that the rest of us think they are wrong. They can't figure it out on their own.
Lots of countries followed the same trek, quit singling out the USA and Europe. The history of those two are the history of mankind. I'm kind of tired of people trying to make me as someone who took part in none of that as basically the same. All we can do is realize those acts were evil and move forward and look for peace and tolerance between everyone. I'm not going to bear the burden of thousands of years of uncivil activity of the ancestors of all of us.

I didn't finish the train of thought because I felt like it was getting too wordy, but, yes training can bring you to a certain level, but you need to have the right genes as well to be even above everyone else. I am a big sports buff so my mind instantly thinks of all the thousands upon thousands of players across the world, people who train night and day, sleep 8+ hours, have perfect diets, and still come up short. Then you have a Michael Jordan, or my favorite example of pure genetic specimen: Bo Jackson. You need it all: the right genes, the skill acquisition, the grit, the determination, the right mindset, and finally, a little bit of luck.
Huh, this was unexpected
the PIO part as far as I know does not have a match in anything else in that market segment. I was sceptical too at first, but it seems like this actually does add something new to the market. More examples will be around, but e.g. the first demo going around driving two DVI screens is already pretty neat for what's possible, and other devices would struggle with.
Trying to bring DX to Linux was also an attempted move in the Extend phase.
Have you considered using a 32 bit time value with second resolution?

That way you still get sort-ability, you get 16 bit more entropy, fare better on 32 bit systems, and still get 130 years of usage, out of them.

Also you actively discourage people from trying funny stuff like synchronisation and conflict resolution via the time component. Because 1ms "that sounds kinda good enough :?", while 1s "that'll never work!!!"

Ammendment:

Thinking about it.
Using a 16bit timestamp prefix with second resolution and rollover should probably provide a good tradeoff between improving insertion performance (most expensive in terms of index touching), a 112 bit random value, and a dense usage of the timstamp field.

It also allows you to do thing like "forgetting" old values,
within a 18h timeframe.
I suspect there is more to it than branding. You can still establish a brand through the design and texture of controls, while letting the end user have limited control over colour. That is evident in the classic Mac OS as well as modern Windows.

What we are most likely seeing is push-back over some of the excesses of themes. Branding is likely part of that, but the astounding number of controls likely played a negative role in the user experience as well.
That sounds interesting. Out of curiosity does AWS have streamlined support for vendor deployments? (I don't work in large organizations so have never seen how non-saas deployments work)

This is exciting! I thought Pidgin had died off, but with the sheer number of chat platforms out there I'd much rather install a single Pidgin client to keep up with them.

It's truly shocking to me how few people even change their wallpaper. I work in a video games studio and like 90% of people have the default windows logo on blue background wallpaper. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice wallpaper, but people have their custom figurines and personal trinkets on the desks, but won't bother to change the wallpaper on their desktop.
I expect RISC-V to match Apple's ARM implementations efficiency/speed within the decade. This is a long time but it is a very lofty goal as Apple's ARM implementation is a moving target to RISC-V has to move faster.

But it likely will come close to converging around 5 years from now -- at least somewhat competitive in core count and single core performance.

Interesting times.

I look forward to the first AMD Ryzen-like chipset designs for ARM and RISC-V. That is an innovation that is just waiting to be taken advantage of by these newer architectures.
The Pico has more GPIO pins and larger PROM etc. - it looks like more of a replacement/competitor for the Arduino boards at the moment.

Theming was HUGE in Linux back in 2005-2010, consistency was paramount, adherence to toolkit was extremely important just like Apple claimed.

For Apple it was about delivering a consistent branded experience, for the GNOME and KDE communities it was about being able to consistently customize the experience.

In Windows? Always a free-for-all of such heavy customization on the side of the third-party applications that a Windows look and feel was never really a thing, nor was theming because of the same thing.

Then GNOME 3.0 came and they went for the consistently branded experience approach, and you were left with a black and gray desktop environment that at best tolerated customization.

And it works alright, but Desktop Linux at most you'll get to work alright, the third party app ecosystem is small, without the feeling of ownership and freedom that an end-user can have with their system, customizing not the kernel but the things they're actually interacting with, what's left? An unremarkable desktop environment with few applications, that you'll want to replace with macOS as soon as you have the money.
Just putting "order-550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000" does not make it an order id either, thats what foreign keys are for, mistakes can be made either way.

If your sending id via json you should be using json to encode type either:

{ order:"550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000" }

Or if for some reason the value could contain multiple types:

{ thing: { t:"order", id:"550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000" } }

Even then just use:

{ thing: { order :"550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000" } }

This is redundant and not necessary adding overhead:

{ order: "order-550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000" }

Storing that in your db as json even worse (Mongo, JSONB), storing as varchar in normal column not much better.

If your not storing ID with a type prefix in the db, then thats not the form of your id's that just the UI/encoding for them in your app which eliminates half the supposed advantage which was easy debugging say in db query tools. It also means you are parsing / deparsing "order-550e8400-e29b-11d4-a716-446655440000" somewhere in your db mapper code instead of just using your json or query string parser or protobuf or whatever, why?.

The 2014 pivot date is a little earlier than I would have though but the trend is there nonetheless. If you are thinking of leaving the Bay Area and having some massive housing windfall somewhere else, act quickly. Austin and Miami in particular are appreciating like crazy and you might find yourself in a slightly cheaper, but still unattainable, housing market. By 2022-23 I predict a stalemate as folks from the Bay Area realize these new tech centers are basically unaffordable.
As the article mentions, unlike D [0], C++ block comments can't be nested, which is a point in favour of the #if 0 trick.

I agree it's generally better to use line comments using a good editor. This has the advantage that it plays nice with git diff, which will faithfully show every affected line. If you use block comments or #if 0, it will only show the 2 new lines that start and end the new comment block.

Trivia: Opposite to C, which originally had block comments and not line comments, the Ada language only supports line comments, with the reasoning that it's clearer at a glance whether a line has been commented out (especially in the absence of syntax highlighting).

Which software code would you use to automate a vegan wax ecommerce store
It is not a misleading impression, the south as a territory was fairly wealthy for much the same reason that todays California is fairly wealthy, that does not mean that the wealth distribution was good, nor does it mean that I advocate for a return to that system as it was abhorrible. The south was a shining example of wealth concentration and the ability to control that it brings. But economically it was strong, so strong that they had a slogan that cotton was king. The implication was that the European powers and their need for the souths exports would drag them into the war on the souths side. It was prides folly to think ]their economic hand was that strong, and they certainly overplayed it, but it was strong and that is why they felt they could play it.
If by “folks” you mean users: yes. And yes: OSX killed that entirely (not just did they kill it, but as users found ways to crowbar in and do customizations, Apple changed the UI code to block each crowbar hole.)

This is pretty tempting. I don't know exactly how stripped-down MicroPython is yet, but I'm guessing it's going to be a lot easier for me to deal with than learning C like I'd have to with a lot of microcontrollers.

> I've driven several manual transmission cars and its always so awkward for the first couple minutes as there is no standard "feel". EU test inspectors must provide enormous amounts of leeway during testing. Every time I've driven a new manual car the very first time I let the clutch out is always at least somewhat unexpected.

That's true, but in my experience (France), the car being driven during the exam is one of your driving school's cars, which you are probably familiar with, since a number of driving lessons are mandated before the exam.

Plus, all these cars feature dual controls as a safety measure, not only for pedals, but for blinkers, honk, etc. If the inspector touches their break pedal, you automatically fail the exam.
Totally agree here - IMO MicroPython is great for simplifying embedded development for beginners and broadening the group of people who are interested in taking the plunge. Arduino had/has the same impact (both the hardware simplicity and C SDKs in the IDE). It's intimidating jumping into embedded if step 1 is "use the vendor-supplied startup code to enter into `main()`, then start writing baremetal C with so-so (and in some cases no) C lib support owing to being on a resource constrained platform." MicroPython doesn't offer a full Python standard lib implementation, but the standard Python syntax is definitely more accessible to a broader group of developers who may not be familiar with C or Rust.

OpenMV has used MicroPython to great effect. It's really impressive what they've done, especially in the realm of porting vision algorithms to constrained platforms like Cortex-M's.

Whilst there are certainly other boards with more features/higher specs at similar prices I think the pico has a few things going for it

1. It's at cheap ebay/aliexpress prices but is a first party board supported by the chip manufacturer, not a third party clone.

2. The full raspberry pi ecosystem has a good range of hardware and software, the pico will hopefully see the same.

3. The internal architecture has some fun features. The DMA engine supports chaining DMA channels and one set of DMA operations can program and trigger another channel. Plus you can trigger transactions on when they're needed by the endpoint or on a timer. You can program in complex behaviours with this and just set it off and go without needing further CPU control.

More unique than the DMA is the PIO, 8 programmable state machines that have FIFOs and port access. This allows you to add support for protocols you don't have hardware for. This avoids bit banging and gives precise real-time control. You can do things like drive VGA and there's even an HDMI demo (possibly a bit too hacky to be used in production though).

I've just had one arrive today, going to spend the weekend seeing what I can do with just DMA and PIO whilst the CPU sits idle, maybe dealing with the occasional interrupt.

It looks like this layers Raft on top of SQLite. I don't like when systems replicate high-level changes like "update users set salary = salary + 1000 where ...;" Instead, I prefer they replicate low-level changes like "replace key/block X, which should have contents C_x, with C_x'".

Why? Imagine you're doing a rolling update. Some of your replica are running the newer version of SQLite and some are running the older version. They may not execute the high-level query in exactly the same way. For example, in the absence of an "order by" clause, select results' order is unstated. So imagine someone makes a mutation that depends on this: "insert ... select ... limit". (Maybe a dumb example but it can happen anyway.) Now the databases start to diverge, not only in underlying bytes and implementation-defined ordering but in actual row data.

I worked on a major distributed system that originally replicated high-level changes and switched to replicating low-level changes for this reason. We had a system for detecting when replicas didn't match, and replication of high-level changes was the biggest reason for diffs. (Hardware error was the second biggest reason; we added a lot of checksumming because of that.)

Yes! And CircuitPython from Adafruit.

I have been turned off from some Arduino projects in the past due to the C/C++ requirements, but MicroPython apparently runs on many microcontrollers and makes it pretty simple if you know basic Python.

Once you get a design working, if you need the efficiency and power gains from C, then you can drop down to that level. But with the Pico having a 133 MHz processor, the overhead for many projects isn't too bad, and it's still going to be a lot more efficient than running something equivalent on a Pi Zero.
> The storage space, computing, even ML is being commoditised

I don't see that happening anytime soon. There is still a market for hobbyist and boostrapped businesses who can't afford the insane prices offered AWS, Azure, GCP & Co. Storage, Computing and Bandwidth on these platform is inflated for the "enterprise and over-funded-startups" market.

Hetzner, Ionos, Scaleway and OVH are still order of magnitude below AWS in terms of prices. And the quality difference is in no way justifying the price difference. (Especially with Hetzer and Scaleway which are almost on par with cloud platforms)
