I generally agree with you about studs; I don't trust drywall anchors and think they're overused. I hadn't thought about what you're saying regarding putting in another stud, but it's a good idea.

Having said that, that doesn't always work. I've been working on a project the last few months to add something that's missing from a bathroom, and the way the room is configured it's difficult to add something where it needs to be for ergonomic/access reasons without using anchors. To add a stud you'd have to take out quite a bit of wall in adjoining room and the whole project would start to seem excessive.

I've noticed the drywall in that area of our house, too, is really unusual, or at least I'm unfamiliar with it. It's like regular drywall but with an added layer of relatively strong plaster over the surface. It makes the anchors there more secure than what I'm used to (although I'm worried the apparent strength is deceptive).

Not perfect but solid alternative. That is all I ever wanted to have.
I’m glad it’s helpful to you. It has taken time to understand - and the single most valuable part, if anything, I’d recommend is spending the time to meditate and understand yourself and how you’re wired, so you can understand and better live in a way that aligns with your values.

The closer you get, the easier it gets, and the better the feedback loop works. It takes time, and never really ends.

Well, it's suspicious that the whistle-blower just wants to prop-up the pro-censorship views that the government already wants to push forward. Too convenient.

On the other side the mainstream social media sites are a dead end, so the more censorship and the more blatant it is the better, so that people start seriously working on alternatives, the internet has really turned into something very embarrassing.

That's pretty small! But the point of the CM carrier boards is that they're completely dependent on what IO an individual user wants.

For some, that's dual Ethernet; others have no idea why you would want more than one Ethernet port. Still others don't know why you would want any RJ45 at all: they don't have Ethernet throughout their house except between the modem and the router (if those are separate devices!). They'll just plug a Wifi dongle into the USB hub.

As a carrier board designer, you've got to ask this question for everything from ADCs to Z-Wave wireless. The Raspberry Pi carrier board just included all the defaults provided by the connector, with minimal external components. Also, they did it with a 4-layer board and open-sourced the Kicad design files; if you want a subset of it you can make it!
I think it is the opposite. The reason we spend time and money on linting or CI is because we know people write bugs. If "don't write bugs" was an option we wouldn't need to spend that time and money. Good engineering practices should make systems that are resistant to human error.

They define risk as having statistical noise or a varying parameter in the estimate, while uncertainty is lacking information about the target. Doesn't the presence of noise in an estimate imply that there's information you aren't accounting for? I don't see the importance of the distinction.

This has got to be HN's favorite intermittent fasting meme. It combines a "well actually" with a false sense of mathematical precision - both are crack for HN. But it's more false than true.

The truth in it is that mice lose a greater percent of their body mass in the first 24 hours. Also mice will die if deprived for food for ~5 days. So at 24 hours, they're much closer to death than a human.

But that's not really what we care about with IF. Most people care about the metabolic transitions prompted by fasting,[0] which are strikingly homologous across mammals. The variance that does exist is pretty well captured by the models that underlie those metabolic stages.
This article is about something going on in the brain, which is harder to assess in humans for obvious reasons. But one of the big benefits of fasting that kicks in around the 24 hour mark is macro-autophagy. We know macro-autophagy is occuring in the brains of mice by 24 hours [1] and we know that macro-autophagy has a similar time course in humans and mice in the tissues we're able to sample.[2]

That's a good example of the problem. Well, it's not about bots, but the same definitional and logic problems are evident. The story defines "troll farms" as "professionalized groups that work in a coordinated fashion to post provocative content, often propaganda, to social networks". That description is so vague it could describe almost all news outlets and political parties, along with many charities. But, they aren't going to classify CNN, PETA or the White House itself as a "troll farm" although it would be easy to argue otherwise.

Facebook obviously has big problems with internal activists who are trying to convince the company to pursue an ever-spiralling purge against their ideological enemies, and good evidence of that is the unfalsifiable nature of the descriptions of the enemy.

I've thought about trying to simulate an outdoors awakening. With Phillips hue lights you can simulate the sunrise, then a smart thermostat for having the air become warmer.

Why are opacity and complexity so often invoked as a reason here? I don’t want to be mass-profiling populations with totally clear and simple technologies, either.
What technology isn't overhyped and under delivered? It's pretty difficult to get anyone remotely interested in technology unless they think it's going to be revolutionary and/or make them rich.

I used to push back against the ridiculous overselling but I instead decided to join the club. If you tackle impossible problems and fail, people understand unlike when you tackle incredibly difficult problems people think are simple and you fail. In addition, you sound like a visionary and have a great story: people eat this up. Rarely ever is anyone concerned with practicality until it comes to actually paying for vision. Suddenly when people start paying for the vision, they find themselves wondering why they didn't ask all the practicality questions. You handwave the infeasibility away as pioneering discovery, then rinse and repeat until someone becomes grounded in the reality of what's possible with technology.

After that you move on to the next person with visions of granduer. Either the pool of naive clients will eventually grow intelligent of the charade in the tech industry and suddenly become interested in pursuing difficult yet realistic goals or wel'll just continue this dance where the investors and clients shared memory never reaches this stage and continue to pedal over-fanciful promises.

People don't like to hear about the problems of reality, they only want to hear about the potential promise of technology and/or how rich it might make them. Quantum computing is an interesting field and by no means am I saying it isn't a worthwhile grounded pursuit, I'm merely stating that the ridiculous oversell is the norm in all tech and yes, quantum computing is running neck and neck in the hype cycle with AI. Don't fight the hype cycles, identify and ride them otherwise you might drown from the wave of industry momentum.
It doesn't mean that they can never be established, it just means that in the current international political climate, there is very little interest from democratic states to open it up, since the consequences could be so vast. If the world was nicer and everyone were friends it would be easy.

I was referring to the previous commenter's claim about publishing single file executables, not AOT compilation. AFAIK, true AOT compilation is still only possible with Mono, not .NET Core. Though the line between those is getting blurrier all the time now, since I'm pretty sure Mono is what is technically used if you publish a Xamarin app for iOS, even if you technically developed it in .NET Core/6.
Definitely stick with the more mature things and the things other things are based on.

Example:
If you’ve learned React, stick with it or React-native. Don’t learn a React derivative such as Next.

I think it just takes a bit of experience and chatting with other devs, and comparing libraries’ popularity metrics and reviews, to get a sense of where the ecosystem is headed in terms of framework/library traction.

Definitely don’t unfocus and learn random things. Learning should be a strategy towards a goal.

In my case it’s to have corporate in-demand skills and skills I can use to build my own projects. So, I focus on React, Node, PSQL, AWS tools, etc. while occasionally researching new tools and dabbling.

For example I’ve recently begun dabbling with Parcel, but only because I see it as relatively accepted in the community via chatrooms, forum posts, and articles. Otherwise I’d stick with webpack for reactjs compilation.
How much does your VOIP cost?
> whether this really all makes perfect sense to chemists themselves?

Yes. Obviously! Someone working in a technical field will understand the jargon and notation of that field.

Certainly if you are working in (say) physical chemistry, you might not be familiar with all the terminolgy of (say) organometallic chemistry, or vice versa.

The question of whether the audience might 'notice' is more tricky, but still bizarre. Certainly, changing (say) one part of a long chemical name might escape attention, but so what?

For example, one catalyst due to the prize winners is :

(5S)-2,2,3-trimethyl-5-phenylmethyl-4-imidazolidinone

if I swapped the '2,2,3-trimethyl' and the '5-phenylmethyl' parts of this, it would be likely non-standard nomenclature, and maybe someone might notice. However the information conveyed would be the same.

Ginkgo Bioworks (DNA) – It's Not a Scam It's a Scheme [pdf]
Compilers have taken advantage of undefined behavior in signed overflow for many years now. So unless you use an very ancient compiler, your code is buggy. You are just lucky if it "appears" to work. What happens is that adding signed integer will appear to work most of the time... except not always. For example, your compiler may detect that 2 numbers A and B are positive (they may come from constants, or there was a previous 'if' that checked that they are positive) and when you multiply `A * B` your compiler will assume that the result is also positive because multiplying 2 positive numbers is always positive if we assume that overflow are not allowed. So if you do `if (`A * B < 0)` the compiler can and probably will remove it entirely (dead code) when turning optimizations on. Here it seems quite obvious but there can be many other less obvious ways in which the optimizer will break your code if you rely on undefined behavior. Don't rely on UB in your code.

About embedded project never upgrading compiler, this is just wrong in general anyway.

In your case, use uint16_t rather than in16_t if you want defined behavior when wrapping with 16 bits.

> You don't need to log every method call, every variable, every "if" statement, ect. That's what the debugger is for.

Lambdas don't have debuggers afaik. So, verbose logging is the simplest (only?) way out. Probably not at the "let's log every action" level but I find myself erring on the side of logging more rather than less.
The IP issues with the leak are interesting. There's got to be some Stack Overflow copy/pastes, perhaps some variable name changed license violating code, and I wonder if patent trolls or even rightful patent owners can now sue based on how backend code works in a way where they had no way to sue if they didn't know how it worked from interacting with a frontend.

It wouldn't be so much about the rights themselves being authoritarian, but that opening up the framework for renegotiation would weaken existing norms. You could, for instance, almost be certain that some countries would like to put more limits to freedom of expression.

All machines (can) run the same services, and we roll an entirely new self contained OS image for every update. That goes through multiple expanding levels of canaries prior to a fleet wide rollout. Bugs that escape the canaries are quite rare. One of the last ones I recall was a release that contained a firmware update for a NIC that had a super rare bug that would lock up the NIC, and we only started to see it when a sizable percent of the fleet was running that firmware.

I have mixed feelings over this.
As a recent victim of crime (burglary and robbery) I know there is nothing the police can do about it even though the robber was caught on tape. There is a lot of crime that goes unpunished that contributes heavily to morale of the honest part of the population and their belief in the system. Why work when some thugs can take your staff for free and won't even be bothered by police over it.

I mean if I am spending better part of my life working and giving away huge % of what I make to the government the least I could expect is said government having resources to catch the bad guys.
I am in lucky position that the crime won't affect me much. It's a significant sum of money and a lot of days spent fixing stuff, worrying about security etc. I can't start to imagine how demoralizing it must be for someone who losses years of savings in a burglary and that's not even a stretch to imagine if they go for a few nice things you have (like say a nice mountain bike or skiing equipment).

I find the attitude of ignoring "petty crime" very worrying. I think the cost of it is underestimated. If we can use technology to catch the bad guys let's try it. As an honest working tax payer the government has all my data anyway and can get phone records to pinpoint my location most of the time. I don't care that much anymore. I do care about being safe though.
As long as the cameras are in public places and not on private properties it's not such a big hit to privacy anyway.

What do you mean “upheld”? The story in your link describes the company refusing to comply and then ends. It’s true that you don’t have to be currently living in the EU to invoke your GDPR rights if you’re an EU citizen traveling abroad, or if you’re a foreign citizen traveling or residing in the EU. GDPR applies to companies that market to people in the EU or do business in the EU. BUT - GDPR is an EU law, it does not apply to US citizens living in the US, which is why the company in your story was legally entitled to refuse to comply.
This is intentional.

They don't want you to be able to do this, so they make pages unusable.

I tried to delink Facebook and Instagram recently. They make you re-sign into FB via Insta... and it refused to sign me in (I was 100% using the correct password and tried many times). The sign-in just kept failing, until I was like "This is intentional, and Facebook will not let me de-link the apps." and gave up.

Really time for the FTC and DOJ to take Facebook all the way to trial for this sort of stuff. No more settlements!
Another version of this is extremely sloppy methodology where users are labeled "influencer bots" for merely having certain foreign IP ranges and being active in discussions about certain topics.

Twitter in particular has been banning tens of thousands of accounts based on that flimsy and circular reasoning.

And because the affected people are locked out of the only system, that would realistically allow them to draw attention to the problem, they are all out of luck in bringing attention to their situation and the problem.

The whistle that she blew was about Facebook lying about its internal research.

She did not call for the government to censor anything. She (and Congress) want Facebook to be transparent with its shareholders, as per the law, and to stop harming its users.

The issue is with the algorithm prioritizing engagement, regardless of whether that engagement is good or bad. It is not about a particular type of content being banned or preserved.
Fair enough, although that is the whole problem with the .NET team and AOT.

If I recall correctly they did at least three surveys asking us what did we mean by AOT compilation.

Apparently they use another dictionary at Redmond, duh.
Well I thought eMMC, but as you indicated that's basically just a SD card soldiered to the board (which I didn't know). So NVMe?

I didn't think this was a really contentious idea. I've had several Pi projects that I needed to mess with because the SD card died. So it seems like a logical evolution would be for the Pi to have more robust storage out of the box.
