This is really interesting. For me what makes the esp32 so good though is the existing esp-idf sdk - adding things such as ota update, mqtt, sntp, coredump to flash, webserver etc to a product has been so easy. Will rust support somehow include those from the existing sdk or would you need to try and find rust crates to support those things?
As someone who can get quite competitive, I’ve had losses in certain games make me enraged internally. Externally if you asked someone they’d probably tell you I seemed grumpy. If it’s a game that consistently makes me feel that way I generally just stop playing it/participating. Generally because there are games of skill in real life I’ll keep going back to because you get better with practice. And depending on the circumstances, sometimes it’s a game of fun, sometimes it’s a competition. Looking at you golf…

Part of being an adult is learning to control how you react to the way you feel.
Who is going to monitor this? How do you enforce this globally? What about defensive registrations? I know some companies register thousands of typos, spend millions protecting their brand. Is it on a per TLD basis? It would have to be since different TLDs have their own rules, especially ccTLDs which are governed by their own countries. How do you prevent the oversight organization from being captured by vested interests or IP lobby?

There are so many details which cause problems with these 'simple' solutions which once you start digging, you end up having to compromise a lot and end up with an equally, if not more, shitty solution.

This is supposed to be a "challenging" problem? It seems quite obvious to me: we simply cannot answer the question as given, because we aren't told how many in the Centerville population are classed as 'both male and female', or 'neither male nor female'.
Can confirm, it is a really good read. I especially liked that the protagonist really does things a normal person would do despite the extraordinary circumstances. I wish hollywood could take notes.
Quite so. If you spend some time to improve your environment when you are on your "A-game" so to speak, it will not tempt you to do dumb shit when C-game time arrives. Everyone has ups and downs due to being tired or stressed, but how much they affect your life can definitely be improved.
Competition is always a problem. Trains cannot compete with trucks in most cases because logistics are dirt cheap and trucks are more flexible.
CMB rest frame is important and special unique frame to use as a reference.

Relativity means that there are no special frames where the laws of physics are different.
What came to my mind immediately was 'Passengers'. But, reading up the plot on Wikipedia, it is possible that it never actually was mentioned how far away the destination was or how fast they were going. So, maybe it wasn't a misconception on the sci-fi side, but on my side. For sure, any light speed travel shouldn't take any time and infinite amount of time should pass for the rest of the universe.
Tree style tab for me. Makes it easy to keep hundreds of tabs open and organised. I generally have about 40 open on my laptop, and between 50 and 100 on my work PC (various documentation websites, applications, etc). Not a generational thing, I'm 50.
The year is 1492. You're imagining standing on the shore of a vast continent, unexplored by your people. The only feeling/thought you have at that imagined moment is “What the hell am I doing here?”

It depends what metric you're using for education improvement. For science based subjects, the fundamentals don't change. My narrow world view is maths and physics, and my data point of one, is that my peer group in the 1980s were taught to a lower level in maths (and physics) than in the 1950s/60s/70s, based on the content of O-level exam papers that we sat as mock exams. The fact was that we couldn't answer a percentage of the exams because we just weren't taught it.

The reverse wasn't true - we were not taught extra things that weren't in the exam, we were simply taught less.

I can't find a link, but there was talk of "remedial maths" lessons being taught at many universities in the UK to bring students up to the standards required for degrees because they're simply not taught at the same level any more. Universities on the other hand, don't have their curriculums or qualifications manipulated by the sitting government so their standards/requirements change much more slowly.
Exceptions are difficult in a corporate world. Everything is reduced to k€.
BYD reportedly to supply Tesla with battery packs assembled from blade LFP cells
I think its the same case for much of the west. Here in the UK, I remember maths being not the greatest but certainly every kid got through with a passable level of competance.

Unless you have a very high budget, which usually only private (or public as they're called in the uk, but they're the same thing) schools have, you can't have it both ways where both the weakest students pass and the strongest students excel.
That's a non-excuse when training the police on the existence of a location tracking feature for loss/theft prevention takes so little time.

Since Android and iPhone make up the vast majority of the smartphone market, and modern devices on both sides have "Find My" style features, it feels like something they aught to know about.

The police know to look for a serial number on a drone/bicycle/vehicle so why not the equivalent for phones?

One problem for me is opening more interesting links than I have time to get to. Bookmarks don't really solve the core problem of not properly managing my time. When I used to use RSS, I would have many feeds racking up dozens of unread and potentially interesting posts as a sort of todo list which I never got around to clearing. So I decided to forget about RSS and try not to worry about catching every single item out there.
how would you compare the workload in the other subjects in Germany vs France? And how would you rate the german math education?
I use VirtualPostMail and like them for a couple of reasons:
- Easy to set up autoscanning so I just get PDFs with all incoming email.
- Easy to get things mailed to me.
- Can be a registered agent for my business (at least in CA).
- Can handle check deposits for me.
Based on the responses here can tell this is the crowd who like to recite CS101 algorithms on a whiteboard in interviews.

This approach is overall fairer to students by looking at the whole school year not one three hour exam based. UK exam setup has not really changed in 30 years plus and just because you did it is not a good reason to rethink how this works.

One of the things missed here also is a lot of exam boards historically let the teacher decide if the student is “not great” to sit the lower tier exam and cap there grade to a C no matter if you got 60 or 100% on the exam.
The Need for Artists and Celebrities to Create Their OTT
My personal experience is that it wasn't just hours. Those who liked math spent a lot of time on it after classes. Those who didn't, avoided extras and still did OK (they would not go to top universities, but the base would be OK, with some practice, if they decide to go to a mid-level school).

The biggest difference for me in school was a consistent, well thought out program (one for the whole country) and books. A topic would be studied once, well, and there would be enough time to master the material. Consistency across subjects, too -- if physics covered a topic in, say, the second half of the grade 7, the math needed would be covered in the math classes before then.

What I now see in the US is horrible: teachers at grade N do not know for sure what the students already know, so they repeat a lot of the background, then jump around to cover a lot of material, much of which is never mastered. Which is considered OK -- it will likely be repeated in the same haphazard fashion next year. Or not, depending on what the next teacher decides.
Interesting article. I for one absolutely hate single page web applications. Amongst other things, it out-sources a lot of the computational load from the business to the customer, and they have a habit of riding roughshod over a user's browser preferences, patterns, and desires -- leading to a proliferation of grease monkey scripts and umatrix use amongst technical users and I suspect frustration among everyone else. Moreover, as this article shows, rather than exposing a finite number of "user data input" devices, you have to expose literally all your APIs and make them secure and robust. I just inherently think that's a larger attack surface.
If you think EU policy only impacts the EU, you didn't pay attention to what happened with GDPR. Some companies might scan only EU-to-EU communications, some might scan communications where only one end is in the EU, and some might just scan everything because why build two completely separate systems rather than just doing whatever is compliant everywhere you operate?

Mechanical watches are fascinating, but to be honest, they don't serve any practical purpose. Time is a solved problem. They can be cool and often are also status symbols. It feels a bit giving up on participating in the betterment of society if one concentrates on those.
This is is the crux. It's possible to justify any and all designs using the single responsibility principle / separation of concerns. I've seen plenty of bad designs rationalized this way.

Answering your question (or "what is _one_ thing?") is often called an art, and seems to be learned through experience. Though I do wonder if it's possible to teach as well. So far in this industry we teach it using rules of thumb and "principles", but it doesn't seem to work very well.
Chinese here. We followed the Russian/Soviet system of math education for quite a while. The Soviet textbooks were and are still considered superior comparing to our own (from middle school straight to university). They have a certain quality that Chinese textbooks fail to grasp.

Nowadays many schools turn to the American system (I don't know why) and the requirements for math has been dropping for a decade. The inequality of teaching resources is obvious when you compare a student from a privileged school with one from say a country-side school. The government tries to equalize things but it's very difficult to go against the top teachers and rich dads/moms.
the CMB is a bit mind bending; it's related to the question "if the universe is expanding, in the past it was smaller and smaller; so where is the center?"

As a Brit, I was never any good at mental math at school, I still cannot do that hardest one without a calculator.

But later on, I swam like a fish in water in geometry, trig, logic and loved algebra and moved from the last of my year to one of the top. I was doing integration etc a good two years before it was being taught in the higher classes. These skills are good for programming and computers.

There was a limit; basically theorems, multi dimensional stuff and unreal? math, primes, pure math etc were completely out of my scope. Strange I guess, perhaps these are connected with being good at mental arithmetic?

My point is that I also think it's bizarre on the British obsession with mental maths early on, when for many algebra might be better and easier.
> I can't find anything to suggest Zig has lambdas.

Closures are problematic in low-level languages, as their capture behaviour requires tricky syntax and/or implicitness, and Zig is very much opposed to both. Non-capturing anonymous functions expressions will be added (https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1717), while a limited form of closure is being considered (https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/6965).
This is a sore point for me.

I graduated from a tony American private high school, and went on to graduate from an ivy league college.

The last math I learned was basic trig in eleventh grade.

Somehow I was allowed, encouraged even, to avoid math. I never had to say the word math in college or graduate school.

As a result I do not actually know what calculus is, and while I’m sure you don’t invoke it while calculating a tip, I often struggle with that exercise.

Regrettably. I’m sure my predicament is not unique.
> However, a former Apple employee said it was possible the encryption project was dropped for other reasons, such as concern that more customers would find themselves locked out of their data more often.

Sounds more plausible to me.

Most of Apples customers are normal end-users, I can see how loosing access is worse for them as compared to data being available for a search warrant.

I suspect "risk of loosing the key" vs "risk hackers get access to the backup" is really what you want to weight here.
Alastair Reynolds' novel Pushing Ice (2006)[1] covers exactly this topic: a bunch of humans are trapped on an alien spaceship accelerating indefinitely, and all the involved relativistic effects are covered in the book. While it's not Reynolds best book, it's definitely worth reading just for the clarity and accuracy of the description of the relativistic effects (Reynolds is a former ESA astrophysicist).

Thank you for such a detailed comment. Maybe then I'm just missing the American context. Having lived in the UK and Australia (which have their own lion's share of education issues), to me it's obvious that students struggling should get support, and students who excel should be able to go further, and I don't think anyone imagines a system where everyone is always in one classroom with 100% the same learning.

I'm very against the idea that struggling students should just be "sacrificed" for the advanced student, however, which some of the other comments seem to be implying.
I think so, but then you lose the other benefits of an isolated, totally reproducible environment that all your devs use.
You mean that GO today is radically changed from GO 3 years ago ? This is ugly. Will code written 3 years ago need to be rewritten ?

I got my first ESP this year. Just getting the IDE set up, testing the first demo project and overally getting accustomed to it took me half a day, if not more.

Saying the design takes 10 min is only true if you already sunk tens of hours into the ecosystem. Sure, if you got the tools and spent time learning it (and dont count it towards the final cost) you can do it cheaply with ESP. For many people going with $50 board thats gonna trully 5 min setup out of the box can actually be cheaper
> bulling and social problems in USA schools, but so almost none of that myself i Eastern Europe

This has changed for the worse with capitalism and social inequality. We had some bullying back when I was a primary school student but it was physical bullying by higher graders towards younger students and it was mostly done outside the school. We had none of the psychological bullying that you see in the US and to a greater extent in Korea or Japan. We had roma and very poor students in our class. There was also almost no bullying during high school. The more odd kids were usually ignored and had friends of their own.

> I think that those hard problems were actually very rewarding

Well, maybe rewarding for some. I didn't like them and would rather go outside and play or ride my bike in the neighbourhood. Math for math's sake was never my thing. I only started to really like math in university when I saw its potential to solve real world problems.
locality of behavior at its best :)
Funnily enough the reasons you gave are the reasons I like vue and dislike React.

I like de facto solutions instead of half-baked libraries that might have slight incompatability issues.

I also like the freedom and flexibility that vue offers rather than the weird guardrails that come with react.
Maybe, what's your point? You want this legislation to pass? You seem intent on delivering news of a future dystopia.

Maybe. For some reason many people just don't use bookmarks at all. The question is why don't they use them. Have they tried but found it broken? Or have they never tried?
This is exactly what I thought!

I love the idea that "consciousness" is a self replicating idea that we as humans have learned somewhere in our past and spread to each other like a virus.

The idea that positive memes can improve the human race over time gives me hope for the future as an antidote distopia. :D
> because when there was more money (and there was at one time) it was enough to tempt a non-trivia

My recollection is the opposite. I picked a random web archive day 12+ years ago and confirmed it was a laughably small sum:

> We usually invest $5000 + $5000n, where n is the number of participating founders (i.e. 2 founders get $15,000, 3 get $20,000), in return for between 2% and 10% of the company. The median is 6%.
The issue with doctors is a lot about supply and demand. Based on your jurisdiction, becoming a doctor requires a lot of time and approval from a governing body, which forms a bottleneck on supply. For example, in the US, the limiting factor is the number of available residency slots. That's a legal and political problem, and you cannot solve that with tech.

Of course, nobody says your technical solution has to be about increasing the number of doctors - access to healthcare can be improved by, say, helping doctors examine or treat more patients than before by automating the mundane stuff, or even some sort of miracle tech that can take care of the most common illnesses without any doctor's intervention (I'm skeptical that this would be possible without AGI).

It's definitely not the kind of thing you can fix in a solo team part time, though.

I know it's a joke but I don't really agree that this area is cursed! It just delves way deeper into syntactical terseness than many programmers will tolerate.. even compared to assembler it's quite a different beast.

I think still potentially very interesting if you're keen on expressing the most computation using the smallest number of characters though!
Schools and especially universities are viewed as products. Consumers want their product to be worth something. This is why parents put up such an uproar, they are defending their investment. It's bonkers.
Almost all of the “iCloud Leaks” aka “The Fappening” occurred because hackers could infiltrate an iCloud account, then use software to exfiltrate the contents of backed up iPhones/iPads, in addition to the user’s photo streams. The backups often contained unsync’d photos, some that were even deleted.

This was a massive PR hit for Apple that continues to this day.

My guess is that they saw encrypted backups as a solution to the leak problem, but the FBI has long used iOS backups as a back door into increasingly difficult and expensive to crack iPhones. Phone analysis is the #1 most common investigative tool for federal (and now, all) law enforcement, so turning off a major tool likely required intervention at the highest levels of government.

Big brother does not like losing their spying abilities.
I'm going to guess that there are laws that make that pretty undesirable. For example: There were (and maybe still are) gambling ships on the Ohio river and on Lake Michigan - all of which docked in Indiana. Unfortunately, such gambling was illegal in Indiana. The ships had to leave dock and go out a little on the water. Suddenly, the gambling was legal.

There are probably dozens of these laws that encourage leaving the dock, especially if you are going into international waters instead of simply between states.
Purely digital is also easily altered and censored.
I don't use them because I have to know which pages are important enough to bookmark when I come across them first, rather than when I need them later.

Usually I rely on finding something in my history. If I need to get around to it at some point, I'll keep the tab open and I'll get around to it when (if ever) I'm closing a bunch of tabs in a row, which takes relatively little effort. If I bookmark it, it'll just sit there and I'll never think of it again.
