>But part of the job of an advertiser is to expand the market that has heard of you, not just wallow in it.

Why do you assume so strongly that they're not doing both. Advertising isn't a zero sum game or something you can only do a limited quantity of. You advertise on all channels that bring you a positive ROI. The ROI is based on the cost of advertising, effort of advertising (ie: $ spent on human labor) and the generated profit from advertising. Assuming that number is positive you should advertise with that channel on top of everything else you do.
Yes, they've been independently tested with production form factors at sampling quantities by major global OEMs: https://ir.enovix.com/static-files/9231246c-a419-46bb-be35-a.... So this is the real one.

You're right – lots of bad actors in the battery space. Investors don't really understand how wide the chasm is between prototypes and low-DPPM autoline production ready for grown-up purchases.
I can strongly recommend mining old 90s titles. Homeworld remains the best RTS I've ever played by miles and that's from 1997 or so.

I'm getting terrible performance exposing CephFS over samba, I wonder if this might solve those issues as well.

What for? What's the relevance of the FSF here?

Well, if you really want an anecdote with the FSF. I happen to have one :D

The court used the French GPL translation from the FSF. The very translations saying that they are not official translations and cannot be used in court. Well, the FSF doesn't get to decide what's admissible in court.

> The french state is constantly broke

I'm curious as to why you'd say that and generalize for contractor work. Just as an example, Thales has landed multiple (and sometimes in a shady manner it seems) juicy contracts with the french government. Just looking it up quickly, you can find a 263 millions euros contract for radios for example. [0]

Mismanaged, I wouldn't argue, but it sure spends a lot and is definitely not broke.

I really like TiKV: can you explain what the issue is with it? And do what are ways to resolve it if TiKV does not resolve it themselves?

Did you do any profiling on your in memory store? I am looking, working on a toy project, for something like this that has 3 layers: local mem, distributed memory and distributed persistence with the same api and, more specifically, query engine. There are kv stores for these (TiKV and Foundation for the last category), Rondb maybe for the in distributed in memory but locally, it should be capable of very high volume (evmap doing a billion/minute but that would not work as not transactional). I bet it is too early to worry about perf for you but it seems you can leave most of that to the kv store which I like.
OllyDbg was basically the best-in-class of freeware tbqh; it's a shame the developer never really got the 64-bit version out. Other software, such as IDA, are leaps-and-bounds ahead of OllyDbg but IDA's crazy expensive. I've not yet tried Ghidra even though it's been out for a while. I hear it's great.
Lower likelihood of Covid, for one
Good point, but SMB has earned quite a reputation in this area.
The FSF is not mentioned in this article, nor are they the author of the article. I was surprised when the author wrote "Remember that it’s all about money!" because that is never what the FSF says - in fact the FSF whenever they sue they always say "We don't care about money, we want you to comply with the terms of the GPL."
I'm always wary of things like this because they seem equivalent to DRM.
Here are a few things commonly limited to Western minors by the state or a reasonable proxy; alcohol, tobacco, movies, video games, being outside(curfew laws), pornography, music, fireworks, driving.

And much like with this new Chinese law, many minors violate all of those restrictions often with parental approval.
one difference though is that varying levels of skill can be staggeringly different for SWE compared to a plumber. There are people that have been coding in basic since 12 and hacking their entire childhoods, and you have some people that coded for the first time in a cs program which they completed in an average fashion.
I'm sure I would think differently if I were a parent, but this kinda sucks from just the perspective of letting a kid be a kid.

I fondly recall draining days and days and days into online multiplayer games, made some of my best friends who are still with me to this day across state lines, and came to my wedding, while eating all sorts of stereotypically bad gamer junk food.

Other than spending too much time arguing with people online, I don't find myself outside of what people would consider "well adjusted."

Besides, most people don't spend their entire lives playing video games for hours on end. You do get tired of it.

On second thought, maybe such rules would help one keep their love of games for longer...
I am lookng forward to SDR-capable hardware falling in price to the point that it becomes the default for most devices. At that point, not only do wireless protocols become field-upgradeable (including more exotic options like UWB), but decentralized mesh-network protocols become installable as well.
Probably unlikely. The energy required to communicate two-way with a satellite in Orbit is probably prohibitive. GPS just reads the signal and does not exchange any data with the satellite. But maybe Apple has a breakthrough technology here.
And how do you use them--only use the median value?
China bans online gaming for minors except from 8 pm-9 pm Friday to Sunday
I agree that the goal is to get people (actually mostly businesses) to comply with the license, but that is sadly tied to what the consequences are if you are found to be in violation.

The requirement go through contract violation instead of counterfeit will in practice drastically reduce these costs, and thus the incentives for compliance, while at the same time reducing the incentive of the authors to even try defending their rights.
Great series of articles. I also went through the other DRM article linked in part 3. I love the insight into how something like this was reverse engineered.

Does anybody know any similar articles? Maybe something where the software is named and it's possible to follow along step-by-step? Seems like it'd be a fun exercise.
it's stupid though.

Like, they are normally my top ad in Facebook, and have been since well before I bought it.

And I did buy it, so score 1 for them. And then i recommended it to everyone I know who likes technical PDF's (which was a lot of people, it turns out).

But now, it's just wasted inventory (for FB), and a minor annoyance (for me), along with a bunch of money (for Remarkable).
There's no denying that Dark Souls is hard. It's also fair. It's 100% your fault every time you die, and you know what you did wrong.
A digital keypad and a phone based system would be best. Apps can be updated for security, and the cars firmware can be updated via the app too. The keypad means even if a purse is stolen with the phone and keys in it, you can still start your car.
I see, this makes a lot sense. I guess perhaps community forums and IRCs are better places for those initial and unspecific questions?
You had another problem too: Windows XP x64 Edition was built on NT 5.2, the same branch as Windows Server 2003.

A few software (especially antivirus software) did a simple version check, Windows reports it's version 5.2, and the assumption was made that it must have been Windows Server 2003. Refuse to run because you have to pay more for a server edition.
same way it's always done. Pick and choose enforcement based on whims, political opponents or anyone otherwise whom they target.
I don't think it's really that clear-cut, particularly when the animal-welfare and planet-welfare arguments get intertwined:

"A number of past studies have found lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with the feedlot system. One reason is that grass-fed cows gain weight more slowly, so they produce more methane (mostly in the form of belches) over their longer lifespans...

To many grass-fed advocates, this is one of the main reasons for switching to grass-fed beef. After all, cows evolved to live this way."

This is probably a persistent enough problem that Pine64 probably does need to put a bit more effort into communicating who they cater to. They should be making it clear that nothing they sell is appropriate for a typical consumer looking for a 'just works' experience. Their products are geared toward hardware and software hackers.

The ARRL is asking the FCC to not drop the rule entirely.
Growing an AI-Ready Workforce
Unless you are getting them in Japan. Or got Astra Zeneca, or whatever.
Version 1.2.0 deletes the data, so it's not backed up in iCloud — the new version (1.3.0) submitted today should restore the data and sync between devices using the same iCloud account (but since it's iPhone only at the moment, it's a bit... limited). So the on-device data won't be unique, it will be per-iCloud-account unique.

> It's not without warning, it's a well documented behavior.

Ah yes, the usual excuse for it being fine that C APIs are completely broken and half of them can not be used correctly.

> Just think of slices as "immutable", "pass-by-value" data structures (with a relatively efficient implementation) and everything falls into place.

Except when they don't because `append` itself amortises allocations, which means if you treat slices as immutable and pass by value you will end up with slices sharing a backing array with leftover capacity and stomping on one another's data.

> Mutating them in any way is actually a special case that you do only for performance reason

Mutating them is literally what the normal Go API usage has you do. If you want to avoid mutating slices you need to write this abortion:

s1 := append(append([]int(nil), s0...), item)

and if you do that in a loop, you get to feature on https://accidentallyquadratic.tumblr.com
In a parallel world they just attack this problem directly and outlaw lootbox/gacha gambling entirely for all ages. It’s obvious that such design is meant to prey on intrinsic feedback loops in the human brain, so why not just go straight to the source. People will still find ways to gamble, but at least elsewhere it’s generally explicitly labeled as such.
It’s possible, but not likely. You’re describing a very sophisticated attack for a violent crime, especially since the typical attack involves nothing more complicated than a sawed off shotgun pointed at the driver.

It should still be fixed, but this strikes me as something that’s more likely to be used by a state or quasi-state level actor to take out a high value target more than something that’ll be used to randomly assault people at the mall.
Great form of bribery too if you are a public figure that doesn’t own a bunch of hotels to book out instead
I always exclude purchasers from my ads, but ironically, privacy protections make this harder to do.
HF fills a different niche than mesh and satellite.

Satellite has a reasonably high lower bound for implementation, and is reasonably easily disrupted.

Mesh is reliant on a relatively high density of relays; typically you need nodes within a couple of miles of each other depending on terrain.

HF allows for significantly larger mesh network node distances (with lower data rate) or much more robust communication that is harder to shut down.

Ah ollyDBG! Trip down memory lane. Also brings back memories of softICE.
As someone with a fair amount of experience in both domains, I'd agree with this.

I see a lot more utility in sculpting sound and helping streamline the production side of things than the uses of NNs on the composition side.

There already are tools for automatically composing melodies and harmonies, and some of them are actually quite good, but they're hardly used.
Getting any software engineering is probably as easy as 1-2-3. It's getting a promising job, in which you can grow, what's hard.

And yes the recruitment process can be very tedious, illogical and sometimes even unfair.

On the other hand, there are leagues of junior engineers (or just self-taught people after bootcamps) applying for all these jobs, so the process is hard for both sides.
> It's almost confidence-inspiring. Like how evil-overlord can this be if they can't even get this basic stuff right?

In the same vein, consider that ad agencies have spent millions of man-hours and many billions of dollars essentially trying to control your brain, and this (the status quo) is the best they've come up with. All of that effort, and they can't even get me to buy a 12-pack of Coke when I shop for groceries, even though I like Coke!
I know you can use C#: I have used C# and C++ in my Godot projects. However, other languages are not first class citizens in Godot. When I say GDScript isn't a real language people may interpret that as me being hostile towards Godot. In reality I'm just frustrated because I think the Godot editor is nice, but it's not capable of creating the types of games I want to play. GDScript is not used outside of Godot, and therefore it complicates the task of developing a shared commons of open source editor tools. For me, a criteria of open source is that it works with all toolsets, not just derivatives of a specific environment.

> In truth, it wastes the talent you've built to not be aggressively increasing their comp to match the skill increase you're providing.

The issue is that we don't quantify what hiring someone actually costs. We're willing to spend $20k on finding a candidate for 160k yet the people in the same position are sitting at 120k and getting a 3-4% raise.

The new person needs time so expect at least a month of training, yet no one quantifies that as well.

> Is this an EU “we can’t set our own monetary policy, we have to ask the ECB nicely to do it for us” thing?

It's more of a "Screw you, we make the rules. What are you going to do, sue us?" thing. The French government is notoriously one of the worst employers in the country. Think unpaid overtime, hiring undocumented workers, low wages, arbitrary requirements, etc.

It's not all bad, but french government agencies notoriously have a bit of a "labor laws don't apply to us" attitude.
Ironically, this is the #1 think people whine about government research: "eeew, it takes too loooooonnnggg." Yeah, there's a good reason for that.
It's a good survey of the importance of IQ, subtitled "Selecting for smarts is important". Standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT are correlated with IQ and together with high school GPAs are predictive of college performance, but many Americans now believe in mandated equal results by race rather than equal opportunity. The lower average performance of Blacks and to a lesser extent Hispanics on all standardized tests (ACT and SAT, AP exams, NAEP, state-level achievement tests, and IQ tests) is wrongly causing them to be shunned.
There are no parking spots. Ballistic missile submarines conducting deterrence patrols are assigned to large areas covering hundreds of square nautical miles. The sub then maneuvers inside that patrol area to remain as hidden as possible. They almost never stop as it's easier to maintain depth control with at least a few knots of steerageway. So a collision in open ocean is theoretically possible but highly unlikely.

The real risk of collisions comes with transiting through constricted navigational channels, typically when leaving or entering port. Those channels force a lot of vessels into a small area. There have also been a few incidents where submarines failed to do a thorough surface search before surfacing and collided with smaller boats.

During the Cold War there were supposedly a few incidents where NATO attack submarines were following Soviet submarines too closely and ended up colliding.
The factory reset feature clears personal data off the device and resets the root password. So... it's not a factory reset.
GPS uses PN codes for the timing difference measurement, as well as allowing multiple satellites on a single channel. I believe the dithering (selective availability) was turned off years ago, thus the L2 channel ads only ionospheric correction (which can also be accomplished with local sources).

The FCC symbol rate limitation needs to go. It’s a hindrance on HAM radio. Just regulate it by bandwidth, or better yet EIRP PSD, but that would be tough to control.

It doesn't need to cost $500+ per key. The monopoly it creates on key replacement is what enables that. It doesn't cost Volvo that much...the markup is crazy. It's especially pronounced for used cars, where it's common to only get 1 key with the car.

xochitl (the rM GUI) doesn't need to be run when other GUI programs are running. I don't fully understand the way this works but for anyone interested, here is the link for the framebuffer workaround: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable2-framebuffer

On rM1 it was possible to write to the framebuffer directly, on rM2 it is not exposed as a device file directly.
I tried using test disk but I had an obscure situation. I was recovering from a failed REFS pool.
A few years ago I had a team that worked on software for this - it was far more complicated than expected. The hardware, IE: trucks with paint equipment, are also far more complicated as you've got to get the application of paint just right or else it leads to too little (and thus repeat applications) or too much (which over the miles becomes big $$$). Also, it's not always just paint - it can have reflective material and binders with various kinds of textures added as well.

edit: For what it's worth, my impression at the time is that this is an industry ripe for disruption. Every city / state / county has to deal with road striping. They do it through a combination of their own rigging and/or various firms who specialize in this stuff - both hardware and software - but where there isn't a dominate provider. It's classic B-school stuff: take a cottage industry and standardize the process, outperform your competitors because of your standardization, and become the monopoly.
I had an extremely similar experience recently and it really shook me up for a few days. Same amount of time in the industry as you.
