That is the usual cowboy programming sentiment that fueled the same critic against Modula-2 and Pascal.

A well known article, written in bad faith, is "Why Pascal is Not My Favorite Programming Language".

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/bwk-on-pasc...

Why bad faith? Most of the critic he makes against Pascal was sorted out by Pascal dialects.

Which one can consider doesn't count as dialects aren't the main language, yet by 1981, C was mostly available in K&R dialects outside UNIX, like Small C.

And besides those Pascal dialects, Modula-2 standard was released in 1978, while Mesa was powering XDE and Bravo at Xerox.

Worried about this. I hear that a loaf of bread will be 20 dollars and I see it happening. Is there anything I can do to prepare for this? Such as investing in more stocks, index funds,etc? I feel like my income isn't matching the rate of inflation.
> Focus on building a life that operates from love and abundance rather than fear and lack.

No offense, but this kind of "positive thinking as financial advice" is extremely pathological. It not only fails to offer any concrete, actionable advice but implicitly blames the subject if they end up poor: "Ah he's poor, he must have been operating from fear, not love." It positions wealth as a signal of moral virtue, not just luck or even skill.
It's so weird how much people think other people care about what they're up to.

I am no economist, but from what I understood, what’s happening is that central banks have been pumping cash into the economies since the 2009 crisis. They were starting to end this when covid happened, so they reverted course and kept pumping.

What happens when the money supply is high is that banks can then grant cheap loans to people or institutions who are solvable. So they give loans to already rich entities who then invest into all kinds of stuff.

The idea behind pumping cash into the economy is that the cash eventually flows into financing actual real world activity. And it actually works, the crises happened but the economy recovered fast.

But a side effect is that a lot of that cash also goes into raw speculation. crypto, real estate, collectibles. And because so many people are doing it, it creates a bubble which means more people and more cash go into these up-spiraling dreams.

But yes at some point money will get tighter, cheap loans will have to be repaid, and the bubbles will deflate.

Hopefully inflation and taxes on capital would erode all those wins and life will go back to “normal”. But yes that’s optimistic and we’re talking at least 20 years.

Yeah, I'm a nega-millionaire. The millions my little family should have spent on medical care and didn't is, on the one hand, better than the path I should have been doomed to.

On the other hand, I still can't pay my bills and the absence of millions of dollars worth of medical care and an early death falls under "absence of evidence" or some garbage. It does nothing to give me credibility.

It exists. They are called fast angle wheels in the modeling world.

http://cs.trains.com/ctt/f/95/t/79912.aspx

To quote:

Fast angle wheels first came out when MPC took over Lionel. The wheels are not squared off where they ride on the rail. They are angled to the flange. "Fast angle" is a toolmaker's term for adding an angle to a surface so the part can be quickly removed from the tool without marring the surface during manufacture. Hence the term "fast angle wheel" was coined by Lionel employees.

The fast angle did more than benefit manufacture. Because the wheels are fixed to the axel, it benefits them on curved track. The wheelsets can drift to a point where one wheel diameter point touching the rail is slightly larger than the opposite wheel diameter point touching the rail. This reduces friction because the outside rail is longer in circumference than the inside rail. Especially sharp 031 or 027 curves. If you look closely, you can see the cars lean into the curves as the outside wheels drift to a larger diameter.

Show HN: Three.js Open Source Joystick for your next project
One of the Wright brothers has a quote about this (before they were airplane makers they were bicycle makers, the bicycle being the latest mechanical marvel of their time). The summary of the quote is that the action is intuitive but nobody realizes (or even admits) that they're doing it:

> I have asked dozens of bicycle riders how they turn to the left. I have never found a single person who stated all the facts correctly when first asked. They almost invariably said that to turn to the left, they turned the handlebar to the left and as a result made a turn to the left. [...] I have never found a non-scientific rider who had particularly noticed it and spoke of it from his own conscious observation and initiative.

The existence of counter-steering is still controversial to some riders, to the point where machines like the "No B.S. Bike" were created to demonstrate it as a necessary effect: https://soundrider.com/archive/safety-skills/nobsbike.aspx
Heh... I don't think I have the patience to read a book about BART but I'd read the cliff notes on the cylindrical wheels decision.

Anything you touch is going to have to last too and people have to care about adding more technical debt because it's already the 500lb sled they have to drag behind them every single day.

Transmit power has nothing to do with antenna length. In fact if you change the antenna length you change the resonating frequency of the antenna. Satellites are also line of sight and most sat antennas radiate straight up instead of multi-directional like cell antennas.

In any case iridium devices usually output max 2w. Same as 4G.

1) Just a funny fact, the Craig Wright who's first author on this paper is that Craig Wright.

2) This is a good paper on the situation, but as I've mentioned before tends to miss the point. The data remanence concern today is usually non-volatile caches and remapped sections of the media which are not documented or accessible to the host. This problem is best known for SSDs but very much exists on modern platter drives as well. No number of host-based overwrites will reliably overwrite these even once, and the manufacturers do not document or disclose the behavior.
Look at the antenna on those (or any other satellite phone). When the antenna is extended (required for continuous transmission like with even a poor audio quality call), it’s HUGE compared to anything possible in an iPhone form factor.

I'm in the same boat, have been watching, love that they have a businessmodel and am waiting for the time when they are covering my needs (face recognition, object / scene detection...). I'd even pay a 2$/month "lurker" subscription which has like 100mb of storage so I can check the features from time to time and support the team.
I see where you're coming from and I really appreciate that you're taking the time to respond.
I know it's unlikely for a service like this to shut down from one day to the next but it's not impossible, plus the whole thing about a service having the ability to shut me out of my own data, that's just scary. And many of us are already paying for storage on Dropbox and have secondary backups set up for instance. I'm just saying that this would probably convince more people to switch, leveraging a service they're already paying for plus whatever you're charging to facilitate - less than the full service with storage would cost but enough to make you some money as well.
Again, offering privacy in a field that was previously devoid of it is a great step in the right direction.
Amlogic boards have great mainline Linux support, but their firmware/uboot setup is full of blobs, can only use an old compiler toolchain, and only works with an old version of uboot. I am linking to the odriod n2 instructions below, but if you look at any of the Amlogic boards it is a similar situation. (Including the beloved Khadas VIM3).

> In any case iridium devices usually output max 2w.

Not according to Iridium’s data sheets I just read and provided values in my post

> Same as 4G

Nope, back in AMPS days power could be up to 2W, but 4G UEs are almost always limited to a maximum of 23dBm (aka 200mW).

> Transmit power has nothing to do with antenna length.

Correct if you are purely talking about antenna design from a generic pov. In the case of a phone, it does matter because you can’t transmit 10W into an omnidirectional antenna pressed up against someone’s ear due to current regulations, so it necessitates moving the antenna further away (hence one reason sat phones have a “whip antenna”, but there are other reasons too). This effectively makes the antenna “larger”.
That sounds like an exciting idea – all the best with it!

I have a custom tlv encoding standard. It has 1 or 2 byte of header depending on type with the required info in the header. I have written an encoder and decoder for it, but now want to do it via ASN.1. But, I am not able to understand how to define header bytes and what rule each bit denotes in the header. Do I need to use ECN?
That's when they call it push steering. But it's really the same thing. When you push, you are causing your bike to counter steer. You are literally pushing the bar forward, even if you think you are pushing downward, which is by definition a counter steer.

I think a lot of people assume those are different things. But they aren't. You simply can't turn at speed without counter steering, regardless of how you visualize the mechanics.

You are spot on for people who think pushing with their foot on the inner foot peg has an effect. I'm sure it does, but it's a lot of wasted effort given that the end result you are looking for is the bar turning the opposite direction, and you'll be doing that whether you are conscious of it or not. It takes far less effort to simply not think about it, and do what comes natural since your arms and hands will inevitably do the right thing without any "different" theories interfering.

It's also why 3 wheel bikes are notorious for throwing the rider high-side if they corner too quickly. It stops you from leaning, so there is no ability to counter steer. You end up behaving more like a London double-decker bus in the turn.
Is there something to share and possibly collaborate with others? Just now on the drive home I contemplated doing a POC with S3 storage but I acknowledge hoe much work that probably would be.

The only reference I have about that is this blog entry (in Spanish): https://la-morsa.blogspot.com/2007/12/la-extrasima-familia-t...

It describes the visit of a group of members of a FOSS community Cofradia (https://cofradia.org) to the Toledo family somewhere in mid 00s. Several users stated that the OS "looked suspiciously like MenuetOS". This is the opinion of people active in FOSS communities that probably had contact and played with MenuetOS at that time.

The article also makes IMHO a fair reflection on the family and their merits. The father is of humble extraction, with actual knowledge of electronics and low level programming but without any formal education. His passion about the topic becomes cult-like at times, with the rest of the family following his lead.
Completely irrelevant when the conversation is about the relationship between the powers of the state and the protections afforded citizens who've been accused or proven guilty of crimes.

The only physical evidence we have they exist are comets that occasionally show up in the inner solar system where we could observe them which have orbits that are not interstellar but would put them as going incredibly far out. From that we can extrapolate that they likely exist around every star but there is no way we could verify that with our current technology since any light reflected off the objects would be far too faint to detect.

Many times the reason we are jealous is not because of other people luck but rather because we don't live up to our full potential. Try to focus on things you can control and to improve yourself, put on some muscle, dress nicely, do some cheap activities you enjoy, whether it is some specific hobby or if you don't have one do stuff anyways just for the sake of increasing your social interactions.

Those things will improve your situation regarding all the things you don't have to buy, like attracting the opposite sex or having fun experiences. By doing all those things you will also increase your "luck surface", you will hear about opportunities earlier, you will be more energetic and pro active and eventually something will fall into your lap. Even if not, you will enjoy your life and will not care so much about other people success on the financial front.

Rather than generating electricity directly, it might be more practical to reduce electricity consumption using other approaches:

Geothermal can be a solution for generating electricity directly, but if you'd like to minimize electronic waste perhaps it would be easier to use it to replace alternative energy sources for HVAC purposes.

Biofuels (eg: plant bamboo, grow it, then burn it) can also technically be closed cycle energy sources.

Solar water heaters can also reduce electrical or fossil-fuel-based energy consumed for generating hot water.
