valid points, but I think some may read this as 'police choose to penalize based on race' kind of proofing.

I recently had some deeper insights around this. I have witnessed reasoning for these things being different at different times over the years, but the main factor has been calls/reports/complaints from the communities.

Busting people at an airbnb in a quite retirement neighborhood as opposed to a college campus, drug complaints blocks from an elem school in a low income area as opposed to breckenridge, co - (which told it's police to leave weed alone many moons ago) - these things are not driven by a nationwide predisposition from those who swear allegiance to the blue cult of the country.. these things are actually driven by the individual community in most cases.

I'll admit sometimes that 'community' could be real-estate developers looking to gentrify or whatever- sometimes it could be 'x color people who fear Y people at X place' - and the bicycle thing in the news recently was probably someone complaining and pointing out safety concerns - which had bad optics when viewed through the 'but you don't do that to X percentage of other bikers' - sure..

I also understand there are places where people don't call cops do to fears or reprisal - and I don't think this is a color of skin thing so much.

I'd love to deep dive in this further, but my point is that it's not so much cops as a whole are some type of way - it's often more a reflection of individual neighborhoods and communities and their tolerance or lack of tolerance for various things - and often that is what is reflected in reports more than number of crimes committed in X or Y place.

Thankfully these things can change - sadly I already see some of pendulum swinging the other way however. In places where people are finding additional freedoms through "progressive DA's, and progressive law changes" some are not considering how their use of such affects other near them. So I expect an ebb and flow of these things based on how annoyed people are by effects - no matter the color of those involved.

Now you can point out disproportionate court cases, pleads, incarcerations and all those kinds of stats and get similar points made - and certainly there may be places that look at racial things - but I believe there it is more of an issue of socio-econimc access to legal assistance more than anything - and that is complex too.
If we're talking about nerds buying this stuff, $22k is comparable to what people spend on nice homelab setups. I would pay $22k just because it's cool and not because it saves money.
I think the model is typically that optimisation applied in "normal compilation" are applied when the source language is translated to WASM, meaning that the WASM -> native translation can be quite straightforward and still performant.
The screen on the pro is slightly brighter as well.
A JIT generally means it compiles parts of the program to machine code on the fly before running them, as needed.

To support that, the environment must allow the JIT to write machine code to memory, and then execute that same code.

CPUs have memory protection flags to control which memory areas can be written, and which can be executed. The OS is in charge of setting those flags, on request from the application. Eg. mmap and mprotect system calls.

iOS denies requests for memory that is both writable and executable at the same time. So applications cannot get the type of memory area a JIT needs. There are indirect methods where a file is written then mapped, like generating a small program or shared library on the fly. But iOS restricts these as well.

There are workarounds for a developer's personal applications, used on their own registered iOS devices. But these workarounds cannot be run by everyone else, except people with a jailbroken iOS. They cannot be used in applications on the App Store.
It’s easy if you change the requirements. Buffers help with stuttering but cause delays. Less sampling and more compression help with bandwidth usage but cause lower quality.

By the way, you could participate in multi party audio check from an analog phone.
Reduces grid demand by localizing the energy, storing it on site thermally. Air conditioners that make ice at night and cool during the day do the same.

They have to be careful about that. Most high school sports associations ban any kind of payments to athletes, including prize money. One of my kids was in running and if he entered any kind of non-school race he had to get a waiver from the state and also decline any prizes (trophies, medals, ribbons, etc. were OK). I think it may also be possible for stuff like that to impact college/NCAA eligibility, i.e. once you have been paid or earned money from your sport, you are never considered an "amateur" again.
It's got at least one more use case: getting around inflationary problems. It's been a huge boon in Venezuela for that reason.

Is there a way to invest directly in solar to offset your personal use, without installing it directly on your house/land?

My existing house isn’t particularly suitable from a cost perspective to install solar on (clay tile roof, a good 20 years left at least). I also don’t really want to manage an installation project, nor own the maintenance and risk. But I would pay to directly offset my consumption.

Something like a solar mutual fund where you buy in, they expand capacity using your purchase price by funding commercial solar installations.
>Your argument rests on 4chan not existing the real world.

Wrong, 4chan is a subset of "the greater real world", and therefore has different sensibilities, culture, etc. Exactly how Blacks can say the n-word and it's not offensive, they have their own sensibilities and customs, and are a subset of "the greater real world." QED. Argument is proven factually correct here. I win.

>Your entire premise is faulty, because it does.

Just proved my entire premise is logically consistent and bullet proof.

> "Fag" is a slur on planet earth (where the 4chan users reside). There's no argument beyond that.

Stop shifting the goal posts. No one is calling anyone "fag" in this instance. Even then, using the logic above it is not a slur.

>There's no argument beyond that.

You're right, because I 100% proved my point and there's no argument that can say otherwise.

I win. Any response from you is you admitting that I'm right and that I won.

The original idea was a good one: a healthy mind in a healthy body. With higher education for the former and sports for the latter. The point wasn't to make people fit for a particular job, it was just to make well educated and fit people for the elites of that time.

But things have become twisted along the way. Higher education is still there, and it has become a bit more practical, which is not bad. However the "sports" part became completely broken. Instead of giving students a good body (a noble goal), it shifted to competition, taking subpar students with great athletic skills just to beat the other college team, and overworking and ultimately breaking them. The complete opposite of the original idea.
The government should not have brought these cases in the first place. George Orwell and the American founders were hyper critical of the paternalistic and controlling nature of the British aristocracy precisely because it leads to this kind of thing happening.

Domain Shadowing is neat but it seems to involve a bit of DNS work from the censored website, too. With edge compute, I would instead prefer to run a http reverse proxy over Cloudflare Workers or Lambda@Edge to the censored servers. In fact, with 100K requests in their free tier, Workers would likely work for every user that can create a Cloudflare account. I can see it work nicely for text-heavy, non-interactive websites just fine.

I run a F/OSS DoH resolver, which uses Workers to IP-front itself. Not many censors block Cloudflare's anycast IPs as the collateral damage that occurs from blocking other web properties (behind those shared IPs) isn't worth it for some. As for domain-shadowing / domain-fronting (which Signal once employed pretty effectively), the imminent ECH (encrypted client hello) standard is going to make the very many censors that rely on SNI inspection obsolete for web properties that implement it anyway.

I'm also most excited about Tor's support for Snowflake (WebRTC bridges): https://snowflake.torproject.org/. Literally, anyone on an uncensored network can run a Tor proxy-node from within their web browser to which other clients from behind censors can connect to. WebRTC isn't usually blocked either due to the ubiquity of web video and audio chatrooms.

This morning my home doorbell didn't ring and a phone alarm didn't wake someone up. Two almost unrelated fails. As a result we missed an appointment which we fixed an hour or so later.

Right let's do the analysis: Doorbell is a Doorbird. I've got it running on a ethernet connection via PoE. All my home IT stuff is on UPS. I have a decent router that I know very well. I don't skimp on my home gear and I have a quite large VMware esxi which runs my home servers and stuff. I use Home Assistant which has a Doorbird integration and when you press my doorbell all my Sonos speakers say: "Ding dong, there is someone at the door".

I got it wrong: I thought that my HA box spoke directly to my Doorbird or vv. No it doesn't - it is all done via their API and that means internets.

Today I wired up a simple door chime to my Doorbird which will ring regardless of internets. The chime cost £10. The Doorbird has a chime output which isn't latching but good enough to make a chime ... chime.

So that's what I do at home.

What does that statement have to do with the comment you're responding to? Yes cops should kill fewer people, but as the person to whom you replied mentioned, police violence is far from the most serious issue facing the US currently. Let's get outraged at the obesity epidemic, let's revolt against black on black violence in the inner cities, let's "defund" platforms which encourage division and turmoil.

Even my comment is derivative, the point is that news and media outlets are able to control public opinion even by being honest and factual. By simply ignoring some facts it's trivial for these outlets to skew their audiences perspectives on current events. The whole "left vs right" ideology is toxic and cancerous to a healthy society and it sickens me. It's increasingly difficult to hold a moderate opinion about a subject without being demonized by one group of extremists or another.
Leaving aside the ethics of exploiting labor, my question is why are athletics a matter of our education system? Why does our government get involved in it at all? Why not decompose our university system into its individual parts instead - and let college age adults choose which areas they what to gain development in - whether that’s a particular sport or subject or whatever.
Yeah. I once worked on a project implementing the software for a fighter aircraft first-line test set - the kind of thing that a maintainer would connect up to the pylons to check out the wiring and make sure the right voltages were getting where they were meant to.

We had to run the whole project on a completely separate network from the rest of the business due to the classification of the software, which was driven entirely by a handful of frequencies used in testing; details of which were also broadly available from OSINT sources.
For a new sport sure, e-sports don’t play by NCAA rules.

However like most monopolies it’s not just network effects, they heavily protect themselves. Anything that makes you a professional athlete permanently kicks you out of NCAA scholarships etc. So, students are going to have a huge issue getting something off the ground, but they have a lot more leverage if students suddenly boycotted the Rose Bowl etc.

Ask HN: Startup that was selling plots of Fiber Optic Installation
There was a post awhile ago about a company that was offering to install fiber internet in a city in India for 25k.

I can't seem to find a link to the company anywhere. Does anyone know what they were called?

If your array is phase coherent, your maximum resolution is going to be about 1/4 wavelength end to end, as an angle. Estimate 2mm for that 1/4 wavelength, and 200mm end to end on the array, the angle should be about 1/100 radians, or about 40 minutes of arc, if everything is working perfectly.

Synthetic apertures start with phased arrays, such as yours, but take data from multiple positions, which are then correlated into virtual focus. If you were to attach your array to a board, butted up against a yardstick fixed to the desk, to keep the direction stable, you could move it sideways in 1cm intervals and collect enough data to do synthetic aperture, without spending a ton of money. 8)
I'd agree - the Bip hits the sweet spot for me.

Newer Amazfit devices have a server-side "obsolescence switch" - each time they're repaired they need "activated" via a remote server that uses a proprietary app and account with the server.

There's various ways to do this, like using a Python script to interact with their API, but it's a true anti-feature.

Ideally we'd see an open source version of this kind of device (with the transflective display), or some progress on removing the "pairing lock" from the firmware - I don't think the devices have signed firmwares, so it should be possible to either patch out the check, or replace the validation key with a known key, and generate it locally.

Gadgetbridge is widely under-appreciated open source for these devices, and it's good to see others appreciating its use in liberating these kinds of devices (at least on the phone-side).

Additional mitigations started to come in to play after that to make it both impractical, detectable, and improbable. It's just shy of impossible now, and in the very unusual scenarios where it's possible, it's so easily detectable.
The thing about parsers is this: we have tools that let you input any context-free grammar and will spit out a parser for you. Getting a working parser for your language is trivial, even if getting a good parser is non-trivial (though even there, I hesitate to say that it's hard).

In terms of time investment, building a parser takes like an hour whereas the semantics for the same language would take a hundred hours. Even when I throw together a parser for a simple language for some project, I spend more time trying to wrangle the output of the parser (that is, the semantics) than I do on the actual parsing portion of it. All of that effort in the Dragon book explaining how to build an LL(1) or LR(1) parser, or even how to build a lexer? Never used it. Almost completely useless. I spend more time thinking if I want to use a peek/next approach or a get/unget approach than handling shift-reduce conflicts or building first/follow sets.

Of everyone I know who works in compilers, I can't think of anyone who doesn't think that the Dragon book spends too much time on parsing.

Linus used to be against kernel debugging for the longest time.

The core of his position (as I understand it) was that regularly needing a debugger is a sign that your software has "gotten away from you". You've let the software get to a state where it cannot easily be understood from the architecture and program text alone.

I do think debuggers can be useful when building up comprehension - particularly of other people's software.

It's very time consuming though, and at each "trace" you're only seeing one path through the program. Good architecture and documentation lets you understand all the possible paths at once.

The metal market I go to generally uses prices per pound for the basic shapes of different metal types, and the system lists pounds per piece. But this information isn’t readily available, it’s only after your purchase when you get an invoice that you can see what the cost is. Otherwise you have to stand at the counter and ask how much each different piece is.
Peak solar production during the middlish periods of the day in summer.
Peak demand (if your grid is summer peaking - some peak in winter) is likely in the afternoon when people get home, right as solar output starts to taper off.

>Mr. Kolomoisky, 58, a mercurial figure in Ukraine who once funded his own militia to fend off pro-Russian insurgents

the scope and type of available power is what distinguishes oligarchs from mere rich businessmen. In that particular case the Kolomoisky dukedom happened to be right next to the insurgency and he, like it were the actual feudal times, had to "raise the fyrd" so to speak to protect his dukedom and the whole kingdom by extension - his forces were among the key ones who blocked the insurgency from expanding further in the first months when the Ukrainian state and army were kind of in disarray.

Ask HN: Why hasn't Google entered the cryptocurrency space?
You know FB has a team that worked on Libra. And Amazon also has a team on crypto. But surprisingly Google, being the most technically focused compang among the FAANG and has the most moonshot projects, has yet to dapple into cryptocurrency. You would think they would go head first into dapp, DeFi or maybe even acquire some crypto companies. Given how big the crypto space is getting, do you think Google has a plan to invest into it?

They are now trying to label natural gas as "green investment" in Germany, otherwise they won't have energy capacity. They have to build more fossil fuel plants.
