The MX32 series PICs, as well as most "modern" 16F and 18F PICs can be programmed with a low-voltage programming (LVP) mode using the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi or 32-bit ARM single-board computer (e.g. Orange Pi Zero) and the free open-source in-circuit serial program Pickle[0].

I mostly use Great Cow BASIC[1] with 16F and 18F series PICs on my projects. My workflow[2] is to connect the PIC to a breadboard as in the article, then connect the Pi to the pins on the breadboard using dupont cables. I then ssh into the Pi, write my program in vim on the Pi, compile the program using the command-line version of GCB, and flash it to the PIC using Pickle. (Not sure if this workflow would work in this case, however--will the pic32-rs compiler work on ARM?)

As a bonus, most PICs can be configured so the program pins also are serial UART pins, making it possible to use the same connection for serial I/O between the PIC and the Pi.

I don't know either. And if Russians wanted it, they wouldn't have had an interest in a wayward scientist — that would be just too American style.

Rather, I'd say they would've gone after a person who could've given it to them on a golden platter, rather than having to read through somebody amateurish spy scoop compilation. That would be more Russian.

They had few spooks, but they spared no expense, and went to any lengths in getting somebody high rank like Ames, or Hansen.

A union would be incredibly foolish to admit that it is engaging in an illegal wildcat strike, so I don't think that statement is particularly useful either way.

Having your screen locker which is written in C be setuid root is a really bad, really insecure idea. That it's supposedly being done for security reasons is replacing a minor, difficult to exploit security issue with something that's essentially guaranteed to be vulnerable.

AI research: the unreasonably narrow path and how not to be miserable
When my wife's father passed, a few of her friends came over to the house, and without asking, just started to clean. She was catatonic in grief at the time, and this broke her out of it. She was beyond grateful, and holds those friends in the highest regard today.

So I - with my engineer brain - thought I had this grief thing figured out. Just be helpful, do the little things that nobody wants to do. Don't give meaningless platitudes. Don't bring food, there's enough of that. Etc.

Fast forward, a good friend lost his sister last year. A few days after the funeral I went over to his house and started mowing his lawn. He was pissed, maybe more angry than I'd ever seen him. He just wanted me to come by with a 6-pack and watch a game.

My wife loves a clean house, it is big part of her identity. Her friends knew/know that about her. My friend didn't actually care about his lawn, but he adores baseball, and loved watching Cubs games with his sister.

Grief isn't one-size-fits-all and helping people isn't paint-by-numbers.
I have a lot of trouble with Web3. Generally there's mass adoption when we solve some need for users, usually around two areas:

- Price

- Convenience

The problems so far we've solved with crypto seem to be around bypassing nation state regulations and as financial asset to gamble with. In those areas crypto has solved for convenience.

It's plausible that some time in the future users will need / want decentralized platforms with different ownership models for content. Is that time now? I'm not convinced. Being too early isn't great even if you're right eventually.

sounds like there is a vaccine mandate-related sickout going on, but it's officially unofficial. I don't know why that would be the case; there's no law against airline pilots doing such. Maybe the union doesn't want to be denounced for being allegedly "anti-science"?

It is maddening. Even if the stated goal is to “get off the mainframe” everybody deep down knows it isn’t going anywhere for 10 years. We recently had a discussion about porting from one mainframe “module” to another due to cost. I asked why we don’t just continue paying for the current module since the goal is to sunset mainframe. Everybody on the call laughed.

So we will go ahead and “invest” several man years and god knows how much money into a platform everybody agrees we should get off of.
I faced discrimination for being single early in my career. I was puzzled why people I consistently outperformed clearly made more than me. Someone finally told me that the only way that I'd be paid closer to what I deserved is if I got married and started having kids.

There's no fooling going on.

sounds like there is a vaccine mandate-related sickout going on, and the union is unofficially encouraging it but doesn't want to be seen as doing so.

Any kind of research and development project is a calculated risk that the effort will yield a worthwhile result. All of the top contenders poured a lot of money and high-caliber talent in their next generation fab R&D and TSMC's approach paid off the best and Intel's (some say more aggressive but riskier) approach turned out to be a dead end causing them to have to scramble to recover. But it was always a gamble that could have turned out badly for any of them.

Comment from the Southwest Pilots Union...

>SWA has claimed that the immediate causes of this weekend’s meltdown were staffing at Jacksonville Center and weather in the southeast U.S., but what was a minor temporary event for other carriers devastated Southwest Airlines because our operation has become brittle and subject to massive failures under the slightest pressure. Our operation and our frontline employees have endured continuous and unending disruptions since the first time our airline made headlines in early June due to widespread IT failures. Our Pilots are tired and frustrated because our operation is running on empty due to a lack of support from the Company.

The complaint was filed by FBI Special Agent Justin Van Tromp. That definitely sounds like a character in a Coen brothers movie.

Right... they can't train someone on COBOL? I call b.s. on that. It's an HR issue, you need blah blah degrees and yadi yadi yada experience. Big corps don't adopt to job economy changes over time like this unless their core business is built to adopt to economic changes. Inability to make exemptions and place the right first line managers over teams is what kills big companies, or forces them into an endless loop of unoriginal aquisitions and failures imo.
Unnecessarily snarky comment

(which btw, is against the rules of this site).
If this is the result of a sickout, I assume the current administration could direct the Dept of Defense to make military pilots available to Southwest in the event of an extended availability issue with their union pilots.

Not as brutal as Reagan breaking the ATC union, but supporting a common carrier in a time of crisis. I don’t believe a federal case has been heard yet where the vaccine mandate or terminating those refusing it has been found unlawful.

I've been on the other side of this and seen too many teams neglect to fix even the simplest and most frustrating bugs in a system because they're going to rewrite it "in the next six months".

Training. That is, the lowest rank on the FBI agent career path is apparently “New Agent Trainee” and the next step up is “Special Agent”.
I imagine this kind of thing cascades quite badly if it goes wrong, so it's not unimaginable that they just got unlucky regarding where machines are/where crews that are rested are and it collapsed from there, whereas other airlines got lucky/predicted the consequences better/had more resilient planning.

As a formerly alone, depressed, underappreciated TS clearance holder who nobody cared about, there was never a moment in my life where telling classified information to the public ever seemed like anything other than a first class ticket to a tremendous amount of misery.

I only speak for myself, and I no longer have a clearance. But the idea that depression excuses disclosure of classified information... that's not how depression works. That's not how clearances work. It's anathema to me. If depression is an excuse for disclosing classified information, then depression is cause for denying a person a clearance. It is cause for revoking a clearance from a person who seeks mental health assistance. No thank you. It is much better to prosecute depressed people who violate their clearance agreements and to continue to permit depressed people to gain clearances than it is deny a clearance from every depressed person.

I support giving clearances to depressed people, and I support sending depressed people who violate their clearance agreements to prison.
No. It's just a made up one. My boyfriend modeled it for me. I made it a bit thinner and smaller though. Dude is a bit ambitious for me.

According to an analyst that CBS talked to https://www.cbsnews.com/news/southwest-flight-cancellations-... Southwest was hit harder because of they way they organize their routes. Not having "hubs" means they can't create alternate routes quickly. So the delays in Florida cascaded back, stranding planes and crews as well as passengers. He also says they'd already scheduled more flights than they can handle, but I don't know exactly what that means.

Doesn't a strike need an authorization vote? Perhaps they couldn't get one. United Airlines has over 90% vaccinated employees. If the numbers are similar at Southwest, it might mean there isn't enough will to oppose the mandate through a formal action. That puts union leadership in an awkward position - they could say "some employees have gone rogue and taken sick time to protest the mandate", but that's kinda throwing some of their members under the bus.
Titan is ~Mars-sized, yet it has an atmosphere thicker than that of the Earth.

It may be safe to say that both factors are at play, here.
Southwest also operates a flight network that relies on flights making multiple stops along the way, whereas many other airlines may have more direct flights that aren’t impacted as much by distant flights being delayed.

Here’s an article from the AP that mentions the “point-to-point route network” as a contributing factor in terms of a cascading failure: https://apnews.com/article/lifestyle-business-travel-8abd4e0...

It's not even a question: the Earth is absolutely facing the same fate. The Sun is getting hotter and in ~1 billion years the Earth will be uninhabitable by us in its current form.

Eventually (~4-5B years) the Sun will expand while in its dying stages and probably swallow the Earth.

What can we do? That's actually quite "easy". I mean "easy" in the essence that no weird new physics is required, it's just an engineering problem, albeit a massive one. Then again, we have a lot of time. So there are essentially three things we can do:

1. Reduce the amount of light and heat hitting the Earth. Example: large arrays of solar power collectors at the L1 Lagrange point. If the Sun is 10% hotter in 1B years and you reduce the light hitting the Earth by ~10% it about evens out. The captured energy can be put to use and I expect it wouldn't even be noticeable from Earth. The Sun will just be slightly dimmer;

2. You can move the Earth. Many people are familiar with gravity assists for spacecraft. Obviously gravity affects both bodies but the spacecraft is so low-mass it has no discernable effect on the larger body. Imagine taking large rocks and flying them past the Earth. The net interaction can be that the Earth moves slightly faster. Do this over a long enough time frame and you can move the Earth's orbit outwards.

3. The Sun itself can be manipulated to remove mass from it, particularly Helium.

A lot can be done in a billion+ years.
