Pi Review – a website for PhD students to review their PIs
Wow thanks for the heads up on Shapr3D, definitely going to check it out :)
If you account balance is 0 you are not changed anything. They don’t charge your bank/card. They will only take the charge from any PayPal account balance.

So most users of PayPal who use the service to purchase things won’t ever see a charge as in the UK because a refund will go back to the payment source not your PayPal account balance.

If you receive payments via PayPal and let it sit in the account for a year without making a balance transfer or using the balance to purchase anything, then they will charge kicks in, if you have less than £20 in the account then they will charge what is in the account.

I’m not saying I agree with this policy, I think it’s BS too, but it’s not like they will bill your debit/ credit card or bank £20 because you stopped using them (eBay while still supporting PayPal tries their hardest to get you to use their own payment processor over PayPal, so it’s pretty easy to not even notice you are not using PayPal for purchases).

As for “how is this legal”, it’s in the terms we agree to when using their service. They can add inactive account charges, as they could argued that they make their profits from purchases and payments from those interconnect fees. Having a dormant account isn’t making them money (I’ve seen credit cards have similar terms, use it or get charged).

Again I don’t agree with the policy, just answering.
Heroku works best for a company of one to offload most of the devops out

Otherwise, https://dokku.com has been really stable to launch your own heroku on cloud services like Digital Ocean or AWS

Gives the same experience as Heroku but with more flexibility
I know it’s a HN cliché to comment on this, but it’s also true: I went several links deep, then looked at the homepage and the FAQ, and still have no idea what this product is or who it’s for.
I choose SQL every time. In fact Postgres.

I want a decent query language and I don't believe the hype about performance with NoSQL.

I certainly don't want to manage schema in code.

I was hoping the NoSQL thing would die a bit like XML. Perhaps it needs more time.
Sorry, meant since aged 20
Which is why query optimization engines try their best to work around that, and most RDMS support JSON as native types.
Some people relying on 2017 price peak news headlines haven't gotten the memo that fees only spiked temporarily.

Fees are currently 5-10 cents to get in the next btc block and most lightning network transactions complete in 1-2 seconds and cost 1 cent or less in fees.
Pretty cool project, but on the other hand, if it ends up costing 200usd this is gonna be pretty expensive.
And tbh, what is the point of doing raspberry pi clusters in general?

NUCs/usff PCs are more powerfull, cheaper and easier to upgrade
We still need to rely on the automated "secret backend system" that nobody supposedly knows anything about
My lid-closed panic issue would magically disappear when I turned off Bluetooth (I used Apple’s own Magic Trackpad and keyboard as part of my desktop setup).
> so it is irrelevant to bring it up

Actually I do think it's very relevant to point that most of the most valuable US innovations were state funded as a reply to someone asserting the absolute superiority of private VC funding. The USA is very interventionist for a country promoting free markets as close to a religion.

I am not entirely sure what this has to do with Europe however.
With the important caveat that the internal display always counts towards that two-display limit, regardless whether it's actually in use. So you can only add one external monitor to any M1 Mac that isn't the monitorless M1 Mac Mini.

For the FP2 and FP3 there are community ports. I think the FP3 port is in relatively good condition. Main drawback currently is that there is no Android layer available for community ports. There are plans at Jolla to bring Android support to community devices, but you can imagine that the expectations by users are hard to manage here :) Community ports are not supported by Jolla itself.
Odd, I have an MX master 2S and 3 and both work fine with my M1 MBA (without dongle)
I would try Budibase instead of appsmith
So, I have clearly not been "paying attention in class".

This is some sort of board to connect several Pi's, and make a "cluster"?

What are the advantages to simply connecting them via my LAN, except cable management?
> Beware of Signal: it depends on the proprietary Google Play Services library, so even if you don't have the Play Services on your phone, the app is built with the "client-side" code which speaks with it (or with microG) and checks for its presence.

That exposes client information to Google but not content. Besides, if my understanding is right, The Signal Protocol is non-repudiable, which means there's no way for an external party to conclusively prove if the communication did indeed take place.
The 737 MAX fiasco proves there is no safety culture at Boeing.

The fatalities were just the visible part to the public.

The depth of the issue is indicated by:

- the falsified FAA paperwork, which is criminal. Our entire government oversight of aviation is done via paper filings - FAA staff do not inspect anything in the physical world as a normal practise, and most FAA staff are civil servants with no relevant education or experience.

- using one sensor in MCAS per flight leg in a safety of life application

- optional (and possibly non-functioning) annunciators. Southwest paid for the option, but were unsure what they got or where the correct documentation is.

- firing the manager who received the test pilot text messages, not the engineering managers for the above.

Besides the 737 MAX, all of their recent models have had assembly problems, wing root cracking problems and in the case of the 787, lithium battery fires.

Source: commercially-rated pilot who predicted the MCAS problem would not be fixable in the same year of the second crash.
I don't think Intel has this sort of hybrid server cpus in their near future roadmap; the next Xeons (Sapphire Rapids) are expected to be pure big core (Golden Cove) configuration.
With or without competition, my belief is that we have an economy that not only wrecks the planet, also the people living on it. It very poorly serves the average human being, or is even openly hostile to it.

Perhaps the most telling sign of it is the increasingly old age at which people have children, if at all.

So I can only agree. Life value, for lack of a better word, has been ignored too much. We race to acquire stuff and invent new stuff to acquire. Family, arts, personal health, nature...the very core of our humanity is side-lined as a "hobby" at best.

That's why I believe in a UBI-like solution. Consider it a technical belief, not a political one. I believe that we should have the technical capability and scalability by now to provide most people on this planet at the very least a humane existence.

Let's for the moment assume it to be a reality. A secure bottom. This eliminates the need for cut throat competition which people engage in as an economic survival instinct.

Instead, people are free to naturally align with their true interest, passion and skills. Now combine this with free education. Education is mostly just content, there's zero need for it to cost so much.

You'll probably consider it an utopia, but let's continue our day dreaming. In this world, people are not subject to the lottery of nations. Your place of birth deciding on your economic faith. Or the economic status of your family. At an elementary level, you're equal in access the opportunities.

The only variable part being genetics, the unique talents (and flaws) given from birth. The little boy from Nigeria might become a rocket engineer. The variability in given talents aligns beautifully with evolution theory.

Imagine the untapping of human potential currently lost. Imagine the natural motivation people would have if they could align with their passion without being distracted by basic survival. You wouldn't need a whip to force a contribution, it would come natural. You'd then discover that people are good and want to contribute to the world.

It sounds like a John Lennon song, and a cynic can think of a million reasons why it won't work. And that's exactly our problem, a cynical world view. Accepting that the world is dark and will only get darker.

I've taken to using nativefier to build Electron apps for all my work-specific sites. That way each site has its own cache and cookies sandbox, and I don't have to mix work sites with general browsing under the same security policy. Plus, putting the nativefier apps in ~/Applications automatically adds them to Launchpad, which I've set always to show in the control strip on the touchbar: when I want to launch a worksite, it's just a matter of reaching up past the delete key, hitting the touchbar, and typing the first letters of the nativefier app name for that site.
>> The MySE 16.0-242 is a 16-megawatt, 242-meter-tall (794-ft) behemoth capable of powering 20,000 homes per unit over a 25-year service life.

No it is not without a balanced power grid.
Looking at the workflow I guess it's SOLIDWORKS.

I used to pirate everything, but is it a solution? In the past perhaps, I wanted to use expensive software, I was experimenting, didn't have the means to buy a license, and there weren't many alternatives to mainstream software, either proprietary or free. But nowadays things has changed for the better, so I try to build my workflow around what I can afford.

On a tangent, in my opinion, the advent of crazy cloud subscriptions have stimulated the community to find alternatives and promote more sustainable software. GIMP or Blender wouldn't be what they are today if everyone kept easy pirating Photoshop or Maya for example.

To op, if SOLIDWORKS is draining your pockets look at these alternatives[1], it's not my field, I can't say anything about them.

Isn't cable management a pretty inconvenient thing? This also includes a switch. You need plenty of cables to replace this.
Would anyone care to help me understand what, if anything is wrong with this advice and perspective? You and I can both see that the parent comment is grey, but I have no idea why, and I'd like to understand.

Thanks in advance. Y'all are great, and I mean that. :-)

Wanted - US entrepreneurs seeking a project
Hi, are you a US entrepreneur (or team) without a project currently? You don't have to be technical, the following is for everyone.

After attending startup school W2020 we launched a service which has gone live in the UK (https://hug.agency).

We are launching recruitment agencies globally which gift 100% net agency fee back to the worker and society. No traditional agency can compete with us, their shareholders won't let them give away their profits. We also give better benefits for businesses (than traditional agencies) such as support for their ESG commitment (very important for institutional investment) and great brand kudos as they are credited with injecting (on average) $4000 wealth per job back into their local communities.

However, we are not really recruiters, we are a fintech. We are capturing their $400B annual global market using "not-for-profit" agencies, but which generate significant profits using a "for-profit" fintech (by managing the asset portfolios the new hires create with their gift). Therefore, we do huge societal good, but also generate great investor returns (i.e. we are a social impact, so you will be helping families get more wealth in their pockets).

We would now like to launch in the USA and are inviting a number of US co-founder/investors to join us and be part of the founding team. You will be joining our first round, at no financial or operating disadvantage to the original team who created the service.

We are introducing new digital economy technology (digital wallets, verifiable credentials, tokenomics and later A.I) into the recruitment process. Our founders will receive a percentage of free tokens (regulated securities, designed to appreciate in price), which they can sell on a public exchange later. Future agencies will be run by employed staff (not founders) and so you will share the fintech profits from all of the agencies as we expand globally.

We're looking for US co-founders with the energy, skills and maybe a good business network to launch our recruitment agencies in the US (with sales benefits no traditional agency can compete with). In return you will co-own the offshore parent business (in a tax efficient and crypto friendly jurisdiction governed by English law), plus franchises, plus security tokens.

So, if you are an entrepreneur/investor seeking to co-found a project which could kickstart your future ones, I'd love to hear from you.

ps - non-US entrepreneurs please DM too. We can prioritise i18n application support for your country or find a temporary workaround.
Reminds me of the good old “imagine a beowulf cluster of these” jokes.

For those who don’t remember, the origin of the joke came about shortly after the first beowulf clusters were announced - thereafter every time a new computer was announced on Slashdot, somebody would say "Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these".
Hi, honest questions of things I struggled a lot with when tried to build applications with his stack:

What do you use for accessing the database or as ORM, etc?

How do you do validations server side and show error messages to the user?

How do you do i18n in general, and also related to the previous question (error messages)

Do you use any CMS? How do you explore your data?

How do you do background jobs?

How do you do migrations?

How do you do authentication and permissions?

All these things are what drove me back to Django. I wonder how people solve this without reinventing the wheel or having to write and test a ton of glue code. I wonder if I'm missing something or I'm just too lazy or not good enough (I'm not trolling, just genuine concerns)
All the problems bitcoin solves are worth solving. Do you have a solution to help people paying 20-50% fees for remittances?

Many here are comfortably banked and can't seem to put themselves in less privileged people's shoes.
I am buiding a Purchasing system for construction comapanies ( I own one and it's test subject atm).

The sofware focus on automating tasks other systems don't, document decisions and an extremelly tight link between the budget and the real and projected expenses.

Construction is a very local dependent business so good systems from other countries didn't adapt really well here. Hence the effort to make our own. I am the solo dev.

Stack is

* Backend: Quarkus.io , Lombok and Java

* Frontend: React, Ant Design and Typescript

* Persistentency: Postgres

* Automatic Backup: S3 and custom Postgres container

* Platform: Civo and K3s for PROO

* Security: Keycloak

* CI/CD: Github actions and Cloudflare pages

* Local Env: Docker for local.

* Ide:IntelliJ

Why did I Chose it:
* Java and Quarkus: because I have 20 years of experience with Java, it's rock solid, performance is great and I am fast with it.

* Civo and K3s: Because I love k8s but it's too expensive to run for my operation.

* Postgres: It's just great.

* React and Ant Design: I like React approach, I have used Angular and Backbone before and react is awy better. Ant Design is just awesome, great looking components and they work 99% of the time, documentation is also very good.

* Keycloack: because makes me faster, implementing security by your self is always a bad idea unless you are a pro, which I am not. Keycloak let's me focus on the business.

* Github actions: Simple, powerful, free!

* Cloudflare pages: Simple, powerful, free!

Do you think your choices had any impact on your success?

Not there yet, let's talk in 3 years.
But we are using the system at my company already and locally it's been a great sucess, improved our work by a mile, people are happy using it even with some bugs, we are already saving money and identifying places where we didn't have a good budget to improve next time.
We also are not afraid of people leaving anymore, since with the system their replacements can pickup where they left and continue to work on Day 1 and buy stuff maintaining the time requirements, that was the best part.
I am doing a little research for https://fabform.io
+1 for doing this for onboarding / knowledge sharing or just brainstorming possible solutions to a problem.
But do it with a clear timebox (maybe 1-2h) and breaks in between. Having to do this longer (like a whole day, even with breaks etc) would drive me nuts as well. Sometimes I just need to stare at the code for a while or draw pretty boxes with arrows on a piece of paper (kind of hard to share in a remote setting).
The plant in Belarus was arguably made in a very, ahem, friendly regulatory environment(finished in less than 6 years!) and it still was $11bln for a 2GW unit.

But the most important thing is the opportunity cost - a typical nuclear power plant takes 7 years to complete.

For this reason in terms of GWh delivered in China, wind overtook nuclear in 2012 or so and the gap has been widening ever since.
No2SQL is just physically implementing a normalized logical model on a NoSQL database instead of an RDBMS. That can be done with classes, methods, and attributes (OOP) providing RDBMS functionality like constraints and data types.

In DynamoDB you can use a single table model [1] to construct collections, which are similar to joins. The partition key is like a foreign key in an RDBMS. The sort key is like a combination of the normalized table identifier and primary key.

All of this can be as transparent to the business logic as it is in an RDBMS.

Supply chain logistics. US, UK & EU need 2x population doses because they're killing 100,000+ people.

NZ has one decent lockdown and 26 deaths total - and successfully keeps the plague out for 14months.... which rather reduces our govt's negotiating power when trying to source the 10million doses we need. We simply didn't have supply of sufficient vaccines until July-2021.

Don't worry, what passes for right-wing rabid press is tireless in its search for evidence of govt incompetence; so far without success.

The current outbreak and lockdown has concentrated minds and we're managing >60,000 vaccinations per day... At which rate we will run out of supply in late Sept and have to suspend operations until the October shipment arrives. Gotta loved JustInTime logistics.
There are implementation of OSL on the GPU. For example Octane Render supports OSL shaders to create procedural textures, texture mappings, cameras and geometry (signed distance fields) directly on the GPU.

This is not a direct critique (i.e. I am not saying that you're wrong), but this line of thinking is rather unpopular these days, and possibly with good reason: it can easily conflate into eugenetics and many of the problems we already faced in 20th century.

Unfortunately social dynamics are a complexity layer on top of the already complicated layer of nature itself. We all are after-all moist machines with a brain (and these 2 things have very complex and convoluted feed-back loops)

The last line is actually wrong in my opinion, we did outsmart nature in many senses: we can fly, go underwater, stop bacterial infections that would have killed us, became de-facto apex predators, despite we are rather weak animals... therefore depending on how you keep the score, I'd say that we are actually winning against nature.
But not every client state turned out to be so corrupt that it collapsed immediately. Japan and Western Germany after the second world war for example did quite well despite being occupied by the US. Other examples are South Korea and Taiwan. What did they do different at that time? It seems the US somehow lost the know-how on how to create stable client states after Vietnam.
Not trying to minimize cable management, just trying to see if I'm missing anything here or not :)
There used to be a time when my 16-inch MacBook Pro would randomly either crash the desktop environment, or outright kernel panic, whenever it was sleep with the lid closed for an undetermined amount of time. While I don't think I've had that issue ever since upgrading to Big Sur, that might not necessarily be an ARM-only issue.
The What, Why, and When of Single-Table Design with DynamoDB (2020)
The ability to take Jetson cards is actually a really strong point in its favor IMO. Raspberry Pis by themselves aren't incredibly interesting in clusters except for pedagogical reasons, but with some Nvidia cards running whatever on CUDA, maybe with some RPis mixed in to do management/support tasks, and the built-in BMC, this could be pretty sweet for the right task.
Their two use cases are edge infra — horizontally scaled server applications on a power and cabinet space budget — or as a workstation for workflows that can benefit from distributed compute power.

I could imagine the latter might be handy if you’re doing CAD with rendering in the Amazon rainforest and don’t have 5A of power for x86_64 + GPU. Maybe.

It definitely seems like a solution in search of a problem. Happy to be proven wrong though.

See “Use Cases”, here: https://turingpi.com/turing-pi-2-announcement/
Then let's get rid of the NeuralHash entirely, if it doesn't matter, right?

If it's a critical part of the system, then it should be inspected thoroughly. If Apple claims a minuscule chance of a hash collision, and the reality is that collisions are relatively common, that significantly changes the requirements for the backend system, which Apple keeps secret. We have every right to believe, bbased oon ppublic info, that Apple was expecting that NeuralHash would be almost fool-proof, leaving the backend system to be a rubber stamp. This would be tragic.

> what is it with mountains that makes some men go macho..

I remember reading a hypothesis on this phenomenon in Steven Pinker's "The better angels of our nature". If memory serves, it was because mountain societies, like that of the appalachians, tended to be naturally more honor-based. So keeping one's family's reputation was very important. This resulted in more conservative societies.

I'm definitely not making justice to the argument, but I found it interesting. Can recommend the book for a delve on this.
Dokku is GREAT. I've been using it for about 4 years now and it's rock solid. I love it.
Turn off the WIFI, unplug the ethernet, ban the MAC from DHCP, and then plug in an Apple TV 4K.

(I trust Apple more than Samsung. Except when it comes to remote control design.)
