Here's a few things that I made with the esp8266:

* Connected an accelerometer and hall effect sensor, used to know when the washing machine is in use and the state of the lid. I taped a magnet to the lid so that it can be sensed with the hall sensor, so no wires are moving / need to be managed. Sends a message if we've left clothes in the wash.
* Fish tank lights with WS2812B strips
* Water softener brine level sensor using an IR transmitter / receiver in the lid of the brine tank, lets me know when to add salt.
* Plant moisture sensor, lets me know when to water.
* 1x4 WS2812B lights that we can all use to mark ourselves as on a call, either through a web page or Telegram, so that we know to be quiet because someone is on some sort of video call.

If you're using esp32 or esp8266 take a look at esphome.io for ideas -- you can do a ton of stuff without writing much code at all. Most of my projects are done with the Nodemcu framework because I have a soft spot for Lua, but I do use esphome.io to interact with some Mijia BLE temperature and humidity sensors.
Your link talks about the general case. For better or worse, (most) Lisps give linked-list operations a special status as a fundamental primitive. For example, getting the tail of a list over and over is commonly used for iterating through its elements. If you try and do this with a Vec you'll be copying and re-allocating almost the whole thing on every loop iteration.

Nothing about Lisp requires that you write code this way of course, but it's the epitome of what could be called "Lispy" (literally: "list processing language"), and any preexisting code or habits will hit a brick wall if those lists are implemented as Vecs
> whether you more highly value cross-platform capabilities or specialization for a specific platform.

I'd argue that very few, if any, end users care that an application works and looks exactly the same on Windows vs. Mac vs. Linux. The typical end user has one platform they use, and they expect their applications to behave consistently with each other on that platform.

The people who tend to care about being consistent across platforms are 1. developers who don't want to write platform-specific code to properly support each platform, and 2. designers for whom platform conventions are inconvenient constraints and get in the way of the great vision they drew in Photoshop. In other words, not end users, who are usually the actual target market.

I have a property I rent out for $800/mo for 11 months/yr, and wanted to out it in an LLC for liability reasons. At $800/yr, the LLC would be my second largest expense by a large amount, so the confiscatory fee effectively made it impossible to do this.

My only option is to use an out of state LLC, for which California gets less than nothing - not only do they not get my fee, but they get less reporting and regulatory control as well.

If we implement a bandaid with geoengineering, do you think we'll still try to fix the root cause (burning fossil fuels)? Or will we kick the can even further?
In performance sensitive code without getting into unsafe you would write this function like this: https://godbolt.org/z/PTsnTMq7M

Effectively it results in the same assembly as for the completely unsafe C++ code, apart from the 3 instructions which test slice length. During normal operation they are trivial for branch predictor, so their impact will be negligible in the most cases (but not always, e.g. if this function is part of a hot loop, but then inlining should come to the rescue) and in many cases this check will be removed if compiler is able to prove that the condition is always true. So in the worst case scenario you will lose several cycles on the test instructions and the panic code may slightly increase pressure on I-cache, which I think is a good price to pay for the safety.
Ah, if by pirated DVDs you mean a 700MB Divx then yes I can see how it could be faster. There would need to be a lot of previews on the DVD and a lot of peers for the Divx and a beefy connection (so a recent movie I suppose) though.

Other good recommendations if you talk about the 90’s and 80’s is SPIN Selling from Neil Rackham. It just cuts through a lot of crap and mumbo jumbo out there today.

The notes are very much markdown files. There is a very small number of extensions the Obsidian developers created (e.g., a syntax for linking to a specific paragraph within a note) that are not markdown, but it's very easy to not use them.

I'm using the exact same folder of markdown notes in parallel with Obsidian, The Archive, 1Writer, Calca, TableFlip, Python scripts, and Keyboard Maestro macros I have written and everything works flawlessly together.

To me, the killer feature of markdown notes is not the future-proofing, but this kind of seamless interoperability.

I can't speak much for living in other states, but the state government of New York is incredibly slow and unresponsive at best, and at worst purposefully designed to be be a labyrinth with as many blockers as possible to reach someone. I can't imagine being part of an older generation and not as tech-savvy trying to receive help over the phone or online, whether it's from contacting unemployment, business licenses, the council, etc. They make it next to impossible (just look online about trying to get a human on the phone, if you just kept calling and didn't know to seek outside help from people who already have figured it out, you could literally never end up contacting someone).

The fact that they tax so aggressively and I've paid so much over the last several years living here really pisses me off. If you do need NY's state government help they are not there for you, and they don't care about you. But they'll gladly keep taking your money.
Interestingly the title illustrates the big tradeoff in lisp notation. It doesn't read like English sentences from left to right, but is a tree data structure. This has upsides and downsides.

Rust for example reads much more like a sequential sentences with the dot notation to chain methods and trait implementations and the like.

Luckily for example in Clojure we use let bindings and threading macros (-> and ->>) to express the sequentiality of code more clearly. But it takes some time to get used to Lisp syntax in general.

Welcome to reality. While the media and governments are talking about finally preventing global warming, it is already too late. The question is, if we mobilize the entire world economy to mitigate it, it might last only a few hundred years instead of a few thousand. Ironically, I think lying to the public and claiming to be trying to "prevent" global warming is better, people would just give up if they knew what the actual impact of our actions would be.
Like so many scams, people will look back at Binance and wonder how it was able to last so long.

If you look at the App Store reviews of the Binance app, (after the first pinned one)
They’re all people complaining Binance allows them to deposit money into their account but requires photos of ID’s to get the money out. But once you send the ID over they never approve it so you cant get the money out. But there’s no one to call and no listed email to request help to get approval.

And the AI chat bot doesn’t work either.

So the reviews are just people complaining their money is just stuck in their account with no way to withdraw it.

Binance has basically stolen their money.

It’s sad.

If you listen to the phone call he had with that organization - the level of apathy and incompetence is breathtaking. That whole conversation reeks of an organization that has never had to be accountable to anyone for anything. You'd think people would at least have some basic professional pride but here we are.

And people wonder why there is staunch support for less government involvement. At least when I get screwed over by a private company I can talk to someone...so long as it's not Google.
Not to take away from what you're saying, I agree. I presume I'm in the minority of Canadians, but when the current government announced that new combustion vehicles would be banned in 2035, the only thing I could think is I need to vote for the green party. New sale combustion vehicles should be banned by ~2025, even if that means setting up crown corporations with tax dollars to deal with the infrastructure requirements. By 2035, it should be illegal drive one on public roads, period. At this point, I will only vote for people with a fully environment first platform, even at the expense of "bad" fiscal/economic policy for the country.
I believe they are mentioning the fact that the server cannot unilaterally log the user out in a "naive" JWT-based implementation without storing and checking a token blocklist - which makes the session no longer stateless.

I would expect an information security expert to comment on the risks they have a professional background in assessing. More broadly, your comment almost seems to suggest that one should preclude all avenues of criticism beyond whichever singular issue is most "obvious" / "problematic". That strikes me as less than optimal.
I highlighted almost the exact quote you have here and it's nice to see it at the top of the discussion.

I agree with your sentiment, but I also think it's worth thinking carefully about two of the main points that stuck out to me:

- Access to compute for large models

- Access to large datasets (in this case mostly taxpayer funded academic research)

Every company and/or research group has access to the data, but some have a huge advantage in terms of compute. If there's a question about commercializing research, the scales are tilted toward those with more compute.

In this specific case, I think the intention to make AlphaFold open source and available to the community is obviously the best solution. But my question is, what happens if a less altruistic for-profit entity uses its huge compute advantage to develop new techniques and insights, and then patents everything before it becomes available to the community?

I understand that is the basic mechanism for how medical/pharmaceutical research gets translated into life-saving treatments, but if we're approaching a generalized model that can pump out "patent-worthy" discoveries only bound by the amount of data and access to compute, there's an obvious opportunity for a winner-take-most scenario.
I posted earlier why Joplin was close, but Obsidian was worth the switch. What I haven't found is a good multiplayer-mode. There are hints that this might work with Obsidian in the future and I am excited about that. I've used mem.ai which is close, but it's been buggy and also there's note a clear way to "zoom out" and look at all your notes, like a file explorer, graph view, or whatever. I imagine they might change this. But BoostNote looks very interesting. I appreciate the recommendation. I'll keep my eyes on it, for sure.
It's a law of the Internet that any post complaining about grammar or spelling must inevitably contain a grammatical error of its own. Yours is no exception.

As I understand it, it’s when people put the kitchen sink I to claims. Is that a fair single sentence description?

Aside, the idea you can set the entire JWT to “no security” from a signed packet and have a chance at a server accepting it, is crazy.
That is no the whole point, and certainly hasn't been going back to the 18th century at least. It is routine for patent holders to license their patents to manufacturers for production. That would not be possible if inventors had to make the product for commercial sale by themselves. It would render novel inventions by independent inventors untenable. Only big corporations with manufacturing resources would ever be able to patent anything.

Take James Watt for example, Matthew Boulton could just have told Watt to take a hike and started manufacturing improved steam engines by himself. Watt couldn't have afforded to make steam engines independently, and why would any investor bother supporting him with capital if they could just set up production without him too?

The problem is with trivial patents, not patents in general.
What I find really disheartening is that these games are attracting such huge valuations simply because of the condition of their boxes! They aren't rare editions, or exclusive, pre-release code. The money has nothing to do with the game itself.

These bidders aren't game collectors, they are cardboard box collectors, nothing more.
I was reading this article [1] last night and this paragraph in particular has been bouncing around my head all morning:

The crisis, said Eric Kuhn, former general manager of the Colorado River Conservation District, can no longer be ignored. “According to Merriam-Webster, a drought is a temporary condition,” he said. What is happening, he suggested, is something more permanent and troubling. “This is aridification.”

I think it's just because the framing for so long has been "drought", when it clear that what is going on is probably more severe.

The question is, if you did grab a box and tried to do something with it, how would your dad react?
Yeah, I'm working remote for the current startup I work for (which used to have offices in NYC). Basically my deal was, I'm leaving until there's an office because my lease is up and I'm not signing a new one if there's no office. Because, why live in NYC in a box if there's no office (which I did for all of 2020). I've been interviewing and somewhat considering moving back to NYC for a nice pay bump, but even though I hate WFH I'm now considering cutting the process short and just looking for remote gigs.

I'll miss my friends I made there, but prices are already going up and since I usually like to have side-gigs it's clear that NYC is going to make that difficult as well. I hate this because I did really like how easy it was to be social in NYC, even post covid. But idk, seems like an idiotic move given how shitty the trajectory still looks for the city.
I still don't see any intent to harm. Maybe we are thinking about different things when we talk about malice?
If they have data on you, then you are already on a list. Circular logic. It just so happens everybody is on the list. There's no special treatment.
This doesn't make any sense.

If you actually have a "HTTPS proxy" then the entire transaction is plaintext at that proxy, the operator can do whatever they want.

In particular they can choose whether they want to support protocol extensions like eSNI or ECH on either or both sides of the proxy.

If your idea is "But surely it should just pass through extensions it doesn't understand" what you've got there is nonsense, it isn't a "firewall" it's a dumpster fire. The extensions have meaning to the peers, if it tries to pass extensions through without understanding them it's now speaking gibberish to both sides.
> And people wonder why there is staunch support for less government involvement. At least when I get screwed over by a private company I can talk to someone...so long as it's not Google.

I don't bother wondering why people are ignorant anymore, some things just are. You get a vote simply by existing as a citizen and can put effort into changing government. Businesses can tell you to pound sand unless you're a shareholder or management. Government can be held accountable (caveats such as Venezuela and Somalia aside), businesses less so.
No, it still applies. What types of bug fixes and features get prioritized? Are certain features gated? Are there use cases considered too niche to support?

Nothing exists in a vacuum. The "system" isn't just the code — it's also the organization that writes and supports the software.
These cheap board have turned me sour on some of the brand name stuff.

First of all the cheap Chinese boards are far more innovative than what I see coming out of the US. If there is something you can imagine doing with an ESP32, there is a good chance somebody in China is making a pre fabbed dev board for you that has exactly the peripherals you already need on it

And they’re selling it for $8.

The US equivalents which seem to do way less, last cost $50-100.

I get it, and I do try to support those US companies as much as I can, but when I’m putting together a workshop and need 10 boards, it goes from impossible to “I can give every student their own board and they can keep it at the end”.

These things are educational tools for me. The cost matters a lot.
I see what you did, and understand your motivations. That said, I think you got off very lightly. I can think of many more causes, other than your art, that would have been more worthy of your skills and the risks taken.
