Accepting that they own much of it, I think they don't own all of it. Some of the problem vests completely outside their control.

At root? yes, were I a direct shareholder/invester I'd be seeking management change at the top. So I probably agree with your implied sentiment. But it would be stupid to believe all of the problem vests wither with AZ or with how they reacted to external forces. Some of the blame lies in those (human mediated, political) external forces.

Broadcom owns Acorn so I would guess that they may have a special licence.
Is pfSense, vyos, stuff like that out of fashion? Or too hard to maintain? Automating that stuff with ansible should solve the central management bit...

This is completely the opposite of my own experience. Using “var” makes the code easier to write AND easier to read. The code becomes decluttered from all the mess of types everywhere and you can read what it is actually doing.

Anyone who names their variables properly should have no problem telling what kind of types are being worked with anyway. And in the rare case you absolutely need specifics, they’re just a tooltip away.

I always find these arguments against “var” somewhat absurd because those same programmers work with fields and properties and methods from other classes all the time, and none of those requires you to write the type.

For an example, if you were to access “someExternalThing.bigRedTrain”, the type of “bigRedTrain” would be written nowhere in the current class. I fail to see how using “var bigRedTrain” is any different.
If admin login is using weak credentials, it is by definition not a secure backend. Password/credential management and mandatory MFA are ALWAYS part of security due diligence for suppliers.

This is false.

Windows used to be a sieve. The infection rates and general abuse Windows received went down by orders of magnitude once they added UAC and the default malware scanner/antivirus.

And they didn't need to lock down everything, completely.

The rest is an easy money grab from the OS vendors who obviously don't want to remain "dumb pipes".

How do you mean "survive the market"? Survive as in answer to shareholders with higher profits or succumb to consumer demand for cheaper shoes?

In reality it's the former and the latter is stoked through other means.

Unfortunately, w/o firmware updates they are just little better than a brick. Especially for WIFI hardware where you cannot control who can access it - better keep your APs patched.
For people who are worried about Arabic script or Persian which uses the same script for a few centuries; you can define boundaries for the letters of said scripts. It is well studied and known to people who design fonts or typography for these scripts. You might need to adopt different approaches for achieving a similar outcome.
My native language is Persian and by a simple search for “Anatomy of Persian Letters” in my native language, I found some easy to understand articles. For example in the following article it’s mentioned that the scale and boundaries are measured with with wrapping “dots” of a certain size around the letters. I imagine you can count those dots to define a container size equivalent to cap sizing. The link is in Persian/Farsi but you can recognize the dots and the shapes in the pictures.

I am not a typography expert but I am interested in the article and wouldn’t shoot down the idea without hearing some expert opinions just because the scripts look different.
There's a lot of nuance, but my rule of thumb isn't so far off from the comment's above you.

My Twitter avatar is a picture of a fractal I generated with my own software. That reveals (fuzzily) a certain non-obvious aspect of my personality, which you couldn't get just from looking at my face. The majority of people have faces; mine isn't much of a signal to strangers.

Faces are for recognition. If we met at a conference, you could recognize me again by my face. If you don't know me, my face isn't very useful unless you expect to meet me in person. So, a face on Twitter is unhelpful to the point of being counterproductive.

Anyway, that face might not even be theirs.
NATS by itself doesn’t handle the persistence side at all (by design). It’s at most once delivery, not at least once.

That being said, have you checked out NATS Streaming Server? It’s effectively a first party client for NATS that gives it at least once semantics and persistence, and makes it much more applicable to use cases that are currently on Kafka.

There is no point defending Apple or Google. Both of them probably collect data. Personally I'd be more comfortable with Apple collecting my data as they don't have an Advertisement based model. They've less incentives to use our data, whereas Google's business is based around that very idea! Apple advocates privacy and has made many features available as part of the IOS to enable very granular level control.
Agreed... would love to see fonts consistently defined sizing... not sure it should be based on the cap-height, but with a line-height of 12pt, I definitely expect to see 6 lines per inch, and that's not what you get.
> but still review and curate for some minimum standards of quality

It would've been fine if they only reviewed apps for "quality". Unfortunately, they also review the services that apps connect to, and the policies of these services.
It invites the question.

Call them market leaders in Europe. Volkswagen owns 12 automotive brands and they sold the most BEVs in Europe in 2020:

So far they're still leading in Europe in 2021:

https://ev-sales.blogspot.com/2021/03/europe-february-2021.h...

Eventually they'll be the biggest BEV maker worldwide.

It's not surprising. Volkswagen and Toyota are the world's biggest car companies and Volkswagen started its BEV push earlier than Toyota.
>I could walk into Best Buy and buy the game I want off the shelf.

If you try doing it for any PC games released over the past decade, you are more likely than not gonna have a disk with some installable files and a Steam code in the box. Without that Steam code, there is no way for you to play the game.

At this point, there isn't any difference between buying directly from Steam, as opposed to "walking into Best Buy and buying the game you want off the shelf".
This is the problem... for me, what I really want to see is 12pt actually meaning 6 lines per inch, regardless of the font specified.
I haven't worked at Meraki since 2015; sorry, can't help you out on that one.

I will note that as of 2015, "L3 switching" (i.e. hardware-accelerated IP routing) hardware was expensive as hell. I believe that on the software side, dropping new hardware into the existing hardware-routing infrasturcture is fairly easy, but I don't actually know because I didn't work much on MS hardware.
Why shouldn't he? When did we decide to let Nintendo, pardon me, Apple, dictate our digital lives?

> In a landmark ruling against Tengen in March of 1991, Judge Fern Smith stated that Nintendo had the right to “exclude others” from the NES if they so chose, thus providing the legal soil on which many more walled gardens would be tilled in the years to come.

The simple fact that Apple feels they have to enforce this proves they're afraid. If they <<knew>> that their model is absolutely superior, they'd just let people choose.

But if they do that, they'll lose tens of billions of dollars in revenue. So it's not about "security" or whatever, it's just about money.

This is the same company that nickels and dimes every Lightning cable maker to the tune of several billions of dollars, when USB C has been around for many years.

The same company that removed the headphone jack for bogus reasons just to create a market for wireless headphones, worth several billion dollars.

I could go on and on and on about their anti-competitive and anti-consumer practices.

>Your credit card is stolen and your bank disables it -> your network is dead.

What are you describing here? I have a Ruckus Unleashed that I bought without a credit card and it works fine.
I know there was a range of views. I'm pointing out not all opinions have the same weight.
It depends.

Looking at it purely from an efficiency perspective, encouraging biological weapon development in humans at a rapid pace - possibly through retroviral techniques - may be more effective than technological devices, if the former is less detectable than the latter, and especially if the former has a lower price point than the latter.

There are multiple variables in play here, and that's not even getting into the ethical considerations.
But I want it to produce a single EXE and that's it... like the C# compiler has always been capable of doing. Sorry I neglected to mention that part (kind of assumed it was a given).

Also, the whole thing is still a stateful operation revolving a .csproj file, which (again) is XML I have to create (sure, it's just one command) and manage/deal with every time. Even to compile a tiny C# file from my editor now I need to make a project for it. With a normal C# or C++ compiler I can just invoke csc.exe or cl.exe and produce the executable in one command from my editor... no intermediate state or project file management required. That's kind of what I was getting at with it being "simple". I didn't just mean the syntax, I also meant the structure of the solution.

Jetstream is GA with the 2.2.0 release. Folks who believe in waiting for "not .0" won't have to wait too much longer.
Don't bother using whatever the hardware ships with, just install and use OpenWRT.
Ugh, what a clueless analogy, blind to its own obsolescence and polluting effect on society.
What worries me is the testability. Too many variables, especially external unpredictable ones injected by browsers and user stylesheets, means accessibility testing combinations explode further than they already are.

Full-page zoom - something I imagine was less common in the past for performance reason - is much more in line with "how the site was made, intended to layout as, and tested for."

It's nice that the HN header bar doesn't grow on font-zoom, but it's hardly a killer feature (edit: and isn't even supported on my iPad where I'd want it). I always full-page zoom and was never bothered by it or even noticed it. But clearly half the web is broken for font zoom. I'd say don't fix it, leave it behind instead. Just like 14px doesn't really mean 14px anymore and that's ok.
Our project got bitten by this hard. I was under the impression that they did this to enable memcpy/memmove into structs, which didn't feel completely motivated if you ask me.

If you have two fonts at size X, they should both display the same number of lines in Y space... The problem is the relativistic measure isn't even consistent between fonts.
Finally. I assume there must be good reasons beyond "that's what Hadoop has always used" but philosophically, I never understood why introduce yet another network dependency to handle elections. It really adds up to the operational complexity, from having to manage the Zookeeper cluster to having to fight against DNS.
That kinda thing yeah, at least myself and other engineers I’ve compared notes with.

I picked up a pair of Aruba 3200 controllers and a bucket full of APs on a local auction site for a song years back, still does me fine. Then again, not caring about the fastest latest standards is key, if you’re chasing current gen the enterprise stuff is unaffordable. You do need the appetite for a bigger power bill, mind.
True. And the whole initial point of Bitcoin BTC is gone. Bitcoin BTC is now first and foremost a pretty poor digital ponzi scheme(with fees it is actually a negative sum game). Bitcoin SV tries to fix this, but it is still a PoW system and thus not what we want when fighting to save our earth from negative climate change.
We have no idea what the marginal cost of the engine is, but it's far lower than the total cost of developing an engine, and the more they build the closer they get to $1m, $500k and towards the $250k target

But even if it were $2m, there's 3 engines, that's $6m, leaving $4m for a bit of steel out of that $10m budget.

Meson is tremendous pain to bootstrap in hardware development projects, because you have to get so much of Python working first. CMake used to be easier to cross-compile to bootstrap a project, but it's getting harder every year. Autotools just keeps working, even if you don't have a c++ runtime.
After fiddling with Emacs, I have a persistent thought that the shell would benefit considerably from more featureful completion in the style of Helm/Ivy, instead of just a list with an occasional ‘preview’. The shell is a programming environment, after all, with all the commands and executables being the library—so we need to finally treat it as such.

For starters, I want the completion to show the arguments order for a command, and one-line description for each option. Perhaps my completion config is just incomplete, but somehow I haven't seen any howtos of this scale yet.
My FZF opts:

export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--reverse --border --exact --height=50%'

alt-c/esc-c (esc on Mac, alt everywhere else) lets me cd to any directory, ctrl-t finds files via Apple's spotlight.

The esc-c command is so freaking useful.

I think at this point we need to stop talking about free speech and start talking about "free speech that is not clearly false and does not harrass or attempt to incite violence."

We've never had unfettered right to free speech in America - as everyone knows, you can't shout fire in a crowded theater. The idea that you should be able to freely spread harmful lies (masks don't work, Covid is a hoax, etc.) is what's the problem.

The right takes the phrase "free speech" and purposely misuses it (I mean the smart ones do, since they understand that all speech is not free, free speech comes from the government and not corporations, etc. - the dumb ones just take cues from the misleading use of the phrase by the smart ones). When they can't spread lies or cause harm or say whatever they want on Facebook/Twitter/etc., they cry free speech, even though they know the speech they're referring to isn't Constitutionally protected.

It's the same thing that they do with Black Lives Matter/all lives matter. They willfully misinterpret BLM to mean "Black lives matter and other lives do not" where it clearly means "We treat other lives like they matter, and we should also recognize that Black lives matter and treat them the same way."

It's just tough when a huge part of the country has no compunctions against dishonesty, voter suppression, etc. if it helps them get or maintain power.

This is astounding for the RTL-SDR, software radio, Amateur TV (which is the focus of this article for sure), and signal processing crowd. I do wonder if it needs to be said you can get hardware decoding DVB-S2 dongles for cheap if you just want to watch DVB-S2 and not all of the rest of this?

Love the concept! A few questions:

(1) Does the RUV work in a similar way to a SAFE or a convertible debt note?

(2) If so, how are valuation caps/discounts and interest rates handled?

Fair enough. While I'm comfortable saying I'm more competent at such things then a layperson, I'm definitely not actually competent.

It's a performance thing.

With standard 802.11 roaming, you have to reassociate and reauthenticate to the new AP. While this process is underway, you can't pass any traffic. For open networks or simple auth schemes like WPA2 single-password, this isn't very noticeable; however, for heavier-weight auth schemes like 802.1x this pause is substantial and is especially noticeable on voice/video calls. 802.11r is a scheme for caching the authentication info, letting you avoid the 802.1x round-trip to a central auth server.

For a 5-AP network, usually with shared-password WPA2, it's not necessary.

You realize there are thousands of children being housed without their parents currently right? That's a direct result of Biden making it appear that anyone can just walk right across the border now because he's so friendly and supportive of illegal immigration. In my opinion that's much worse than Trump dissuading people from the start. People are dying and Biden has incited a mass immigration crisis.

Regardless of that specific issue this is the main problem with "bad information". I and many people do not agree with your assessment and I also don't agree you have the right to say definitively what Biden is doing is better and then brainwash our children into believing it by declaring it disinformation when they don't agree.

This quote from the article is enough for me to know it's not about disinformation at all but more about pushing an agenda: "The U.S. intelligence community found that in both the 2020 and 2016 elections, Russia employed a range of online methods in an attempt to help former President Donald Trump, and undermine his Democratic rivals, Hillary Clinton and President Biden." Trump was cleared by the FBI and that investigation returned no evidence to support this. It's equivalent to declaring the election was stolen in 2020 but again we see it's not an issue since it comes from the "chosen" side.
Firebase is completely closed source and make it extremely hard to migrate any moderate size project.

Supabase builds on open source parts that everyone is already familiar with. Postgres for data store instead of firestore (which is a proprietary nosql Google cloud database with many quirks to keep you in). GoTrue for Auth which is an open source project by netlify. Real-time to provide Postgres changes over sockets open sourced by them. There are many parts which make up "supabase".

Supabase hosting provide a unified experience through their dashboard and manage all these parts for you. That isn't open source.

The actual UI kit for that is open source, though.

Dashboard doesn't stop you from migrating your backend infrastructure somewhere else. It does result in degraded developer experience which can be the biggest distinction.
Yes, the media reporting makes those outlets who did look foolish; that being said, this could have been a trial balloon or one hell of news play by VW to get a lot of people to realize they have a fleet of EVs.
