I have one of these; the complaint about the fan being inaccessible is legitimate, but it's otherwise clean, and easy to clean - the tank and the base can be scrubbed by hand or just thrown in the dishwasher, unlike any vaporizing humidifier I've used. I think the other complaints may be regional - and the fact that the proposed solutions all seem to be vaporizing humidifiers (or boiling water) seems telling.

I got one because in Arizona, the water quality's terrible, but the air is bone-dry to the point it turns your skin to sandpaper. The hard water means that vaporizing humidifiers fill the air with white dust that coats everything, because they vaporize the minerals. Evaporative humidifiers don't; the minerals all end up in the filter. And, while an evaporative humidifier has no trouble going through a full tank of water overnight on the lowest settings in AZ, it phsyically can't oversaturate the air like a sauna in the way that a vaporizing humidifier does.

The air in the north east just doesn't get dry enough (maybe in winter, but then you don't have the AC fighting your humidifier), and if boiling a pot of water is what the author's looking for, an evaporative humidifier just doesn't do that.

I'm a full-stack dev but mostly work on backend (85/15 split at my current position). I'm a hobbyist maker in my spare time and worked with the owner of a light toy company to release motion-reactive lights for ravers (https://ledgloves.com/product/uber-nano-motion-reactive-led-...).
No. Sticking to what is known beats innovation most of the time.

There is no correlation between something being widely used and it being good at its job.
It's not in my country so as far as I'm concerned it doesn't exist. I expect Google will kill the product entirely before it ever gets here.
What will we do when they find out that humans can be toxic, vile, ... ?
I'm afraid we are still not even in the brothers Wright era of project planning, though. At least, im many areas. In some areas we (humans) have considerable successes, like building oil rigs in the ocean. I suspect we lack a good understanding of software requirements. From it, to my mind, inadequate management practices follow.
That's a great point. I did say the technology is proven but did not specify the market this is ready for. It is sort of like Tesla adoption 10 years ago. It will take time for the investments in technology and infrastructure to cover more of the market. Hopefully Verizon can accelerate their mmWave 5g deploys.
You'd think after OnLive's failure Google might have learned a few lessons.

It just doesn't work. Not until we have 6G everywhere at very low cost and even then it won't be as good as running games off your own machine.
Any plans for gevent compatibility?
You can avoid it for class I, but generally 13485 is becoming more harmonized and required.

I don't think 62304 is too hard to adapt; i haven't done the process work in a while but unless the latest rev radically changed things it isn't very prescriptive, not nearly as much as you suggest; I've seen agile and Agile variants done. It is a sign of the slowness of the process that it's only recently become required, and reflects 15-years ago thinking, but it's fine.

You are right that a lot of modern development processes need a fair bit of tweaking, but it's mostly because they aren't nearly careful enough for device use. This may be a bit of a burden on pure software devices, but it's probably the right trade off overall.

This is why the big shift in thinking for most developers will be the 14971 (risk management) adoption, not 62304 itself (IEC 62304 punts to ISO 14971 for this part, but it's common with hardware dev)

I like fusion cuisine: it tends to be endemic of places with lots of immigration and it's part of the character of these cities.

What I think you're referring to is the idea of authenticity, which I think is illustrated well by looking at how different cultures barbecue. The "classic" american barbecue features harburgers and hotdog sausages in bread, brazilian barbecue offers a large variety of cuts of meats along with an extensive salad buffet, and chinese barbecue might get you duck to go with rice.
You have to be sharper than before. Age is a point against you, so you have to step up your game.
Valve did build out a lot of features like Remote Play and streaming on Steam, but just to a level of ok functionality. It's just clearly not their main interest.

So I agree with your point, but it's not like Valve as a company is totally unaware of the opportunities. They are just... uninterested.
I think there are two separate aspects that get conflated into one.

1) Document database - rather than a strict rigid schema, you can store nested json documents in tables/collections. Or the idea of soft schema where the whole database doesn't need to be blocked for a schema change and you have some leeway in integrity.

2) Relational database - Ability to make complex sql queries that join data from multiple tables.

Mongodb has some support for joining but it doesn't have a sql variant. If your data is mostly key:val store then it's great. You can shard it, and have replicas. It's easy to make a fast reliable backend with mongodb. Many popular sites run on mongodb backend.

However with new json types in MySQL and Postgres, it too has support for inserting documents and querying subkeys. It can be sharded and replicated (albeit with a bit more configuration).

Couchbase which is like mongo (in its document store capabilities) N1QL which offers agility of SQL and flexibility of JSON.

So like any tool, it has it's tradeoffs.

Then again kudus to the author for evoking our reptillian brains: "Never use MongoDB" incites emotions and gets you on top of HN. If it was called "When to use MongoDB", it wouldn't get the same reaction.
Fair enough. I consider these to be spiritually equivalent since any ungrammatical form can be made grammatical with the addition of a new rule.
Clearly false based on the observed incidence of malware, botnets, and fraud on Android. People in fact are not able to avoid these things.

You are not comparable to “Joe D user” if you know how to protect yourself against these things. He does not.

It actually is safe for most people to let their guard down with Apple’s store. A few counter examples show that it’s a moving target to keep it safe, but nothing more.
I think federated identity is the way to go. Technically that's what we have now, ie every identity provider I'm aware of lets you reset your password via email, which is federated.

But we tried federated and users didn't care. They want convenience. Maybe with privacy apparently picking up some public interest, we can try again.
> I rarely write about current events on this site, but in the past year, I’ve already broken that rule multiple times due to the (government-imposed) coronavirus “crisis.”

The first sentence of the linked article calls into question the remainder of the article.
I don't have any papers offhand, but the wikipedia page on microbolometers is great. Traditional sensors for thermal imaging are made of materials like InSb and HgCdTe, which require cooling to cryogenic temperatures in order to limit dark noise. These types of sensors are similar to visible sensors where an electron is generated for each incident photon. Microbolometers operate fundamentally differently, where electrical resistance in response to temperature changes. While most space thermal sensors today still use traditional materials, most terrestrial thermal cameras (night-vision, thermal drones) use microbolometers when imaging in LWIR.

It's really an awesome software. It just works! I heard back in the days that they got some sponsors to improve security. Since it's running on so many computers, I was wondering if anyone is aware of any security issues. On my side, I didn't heard of any, but I also didn't really look deep into it.

Anyone has thought on the security side of VLC?
Saying it doesn't work is misleading. If you need to fill it up every so often then it is working. By working I mean it is converting water into vapor, and that's all a humidifier can do. They can't magically make a desert climate humid. Most build-up in humidifiers is due to crappy water. They can't do a whole lot about that either. Yes, they should be easier to clean, but when they are that cheap, then yes, they are easier to just throw away. But you get what you pay for.

Databricks Raises $1B Series G Investment at $28B Valuation
Wow something similar happened to my business. A fly-by-night business launched under my trademark, bought Google search ads against my domain searches, copied verbatim content from my website including my terms of service which has my address and company name in it, and then also sent me a cease an desist on my own trademark to top it off. Despite such egregious infractions it's incredibly difficult to stop them because their costs for doing this is near nothing. Their risks for doing this are also near nothing (since there's not really any criminal liability). Unfortunately the US legal system doesn't really work that well for small players. If anything platforms are probably in a better position to enforce things better than the government, but they aren't really doing so. Amazon is also turning a blind eye to scams since at the end of the day all money still flows to them.
I had a different Honeywell Humidifier which was hard to clean, didn't humidify enough and made a lovely (read: annoying) gurgling noise every so often.

Last year I got the AairCare 831000. It's basically a large tub with wick and a fan on top. No gurgling, massive capacity, can humidify the whole apartment and you refill it with a bucket (so much easier and less messy). No nooks and crannies to clean and you can basically bleach the whole tub if you want to.

I remember the days of trying mplayer2, totem, and countless others. Everything just worked with VLC.
My point is that this:

> Most implementations of Common Lisp prevent shadowing builtin symbols.

is irrelevant. It's actually irrelevant for two reasons. First, the example under discussion was SQUARE which is not a CL builtin, and second, even if it was, you could just do this:

Just make your own package and do:

(in-package :my-package)

(defmethod square ((n number)) (* n n))

Now you can extend SQUARE to work on things other than numbers. Or, to pick a more realistic example:

(defmethod sqrt ((n number)) (cl:sqrt n))

The piece made some good points but referring to the “coronavirus crisis” in scare quotes doesn’t inspire confidence in the authors motivations.
There were a lot of coronavirus skeptics here in the UK who were forced to eat humble pie when the second wave and the new variant came into the picture. In some places you hear ambulance sirens all day at the worst of it.

Correct, my old memory conflated GME with AMC, who did issue stock to retire debt.
I agree with most of the article except for the evidence of block size used to claim that the bulk of the volume was not retail. 500k - 4 million blocks can easily be retail. I trade that size all the time, even up to 12M blocks, I'm a retail trader. There are dozens of screenshots from wallstreet bets of fellow retail traders trading this size. Many retailers use up to 3x or more leverage, meaning one would only need a low 6 figure account size to trade the low end of that block range, and yes, many retailers are "all in" during this frenzy with a single trade, again evidenced by YOLO screenshots on WSB recently.

Retail does not mean "poor". Retail means you don't work for an investment fund. In fact, my grandfather is worth $250M and frequently trades 10-50M blocks. He is still a retail trader managing his personal assets. Despite popular belief, a large portion of the 1% and even billionaire class manage their own money or at least a large part of it in the stock market.
