Not sure what you're referring to with the "input" action, but there's a "Loop Spreadsheet Rows" command that will let you perform a set of actions per row in a spreadsheet.
No, they just understood my complaint. This was originally about reducing global energy consumption by switching programming languages. You cannot reduce global energy consumption by firing (or not hiring) programmers because they still live on the planet and do the exact same thing. You'd literally have to execute the people who would doing the debugging for C code to cause such a reduction. This is the reductio ad absurdum that shows that it wasn't a valid point.
Are you happy with the way things are going for Elixir? It seemed to me like the Elixir community was hoping for it to become the next Ruby and I don't see that happening anymore. It will have to settle for being a well respected but obscure piece of tech, kinda like what Erlang is.
NAT is the worst thing that could have happened to Internet.
Without NAT people would have been able to host their own blogs, pages, photos decades ago from their home. We could have had far more decentralized applications than we have today and would have prevented this walled garden mess of Internet.

The ability to address any system on the Internet with it's unique IP is what original Internet was supposed to be. NAT was temporary solution to address the issue of limited IPs but now that is single protocol that is preventing the migration to IPv6
But then how does one ensure 127/8 are local?

From the average end-user perspective, everything that can be achieved with so called "web3" technology can be achieved by 10, probably 20 or even more years old technology already.

This is nothing but snakeoil trash dreamed up by people that are purely interested in get rich quick schemes. This has nothing to do with the spirit of the "old web".
The core promise of a DAO (note: I do not feel the ConstitutionDAO is a good example) is that it is funded & organized using smart contract interactions.

For example: a simple smart contract could be set up by 1000 parties that share the same goal (but may not share a mutual trust) across the globe to say that “the funds in this wallet are locked for 1 year. After 1 year, contributors can vote on whether to unlock the funds (make them redeemable) or re-lock them for another year.”

Rather than placing trust in complex legal structures across countries, centralized payment processors & currency exchanges, the security & accuracy of voting procedures like SpiderMonkey, and the goodwill of all other contributors, the trust can be placed in the contract code and security of the chain.

This does not automatically make it better, nor does it mean it is impervious to problems (like bugs in the contract), but it is a different system that is not easily & transparently achievable via traditional means, and certainly not in a matter of days by simply using a web application (Juicebox).

Churchill's legacy is more complex that just "he had racist viewpoints, but everybody had that back then." He was an imperialist who believed in Britains right to conquer and rule inferior people around the world. He was bitterly opposed to dismantling the Empire. Even after WWII, he was responsible the the horrifically brutal suppression of the rebellious Mau Mau in Kenya, which included the use of concentration camps. Yes, this happend after the Nürnberg trials.

So while he is rightfully remembered as a hero for opposing the Nazis when few others did, he also did much of the same the Nazis did, just far from Europe and against non-white people.
Have you considered that maybe you're just used to Google? There is a learning curve to using a new search engine. The way they answer your queries depends on how you ask.

But at the end, it's about what you care about. Is life too short to have principles?
First thought as a German, why? Second thought, why not? Google killed all others because it was much better. I still use Google because DDG does not work for me, but there might be a market for a German search engine on top of Bing, now that the technology gap isn't as large as it was 20y ago. The benefit of being better for Germans (by whatever definition) could compensate the technology gap.

You could bet your career on any of these and I'm pretty sure you will be fine 20 years from now.

French orthographic and grammatical history has been non-linear and it's not uncommon for texts from the 16th century to be harder to read than from the 13th c., while at the same time the Medieval texts have sometimes confusing syntax for modern French speakers because of the declensions. For example in the sample given by the article :

Mauuoisement li quiens Bertram ad dit

It's not something that a modern native French speaker would understand at first sight. Li quiens (or li cuens in more standard Old French) is the cas sujet of "count", the form that survived in French is the cas régime, le conte.

I had an Amstrad PC1512 I will always remember because it had a volume control. It had some sort of powered speaker, so you could turn it up absurdly high, or lower the volume down reasonably (even switching it off)

This is not the exact model, but you can see the volume control here:

Decades? With Vote By Mail?

Where?

And I am completely sincere. The pandemic efforts were a mess. Rushed, among other things.

As for identity and eligibility, it is clear you have not actually taken the time to understand much of this as it has been done, and tested, for years. Non issue.

I have been active in voting advocacy and activism since the late 90's. Have been cited in policy papers a few times related to the inherent untrustworthy nature of all known electronic voting systems that do not personally identify voters.

In person voting is great! We do need to clean up obvious manipulations in some States, but if that is the decision, I am fine with it because it works.

VBM also works, and like in person, some places could use a clean up pass.

Where electronic voting is being considered, I always make sure VBM and the Oregon implementation are a part of the discussion because a clear move to change without it means electronic voting gets in easily.

South Carolina has not known who won an election there for a long time, over a decade due to the use of paperless touch screen voting. They recently went to paper, but still have a whole lot of problems.

Frankly, the strongest VBM argument is the well distributed votes cast making it impossible to bias with lack of machines and polls. There are no 8 hour voting queues in poor districts, for just one very notable metric in favor.

I will end with the stats disproving your assertion. Like I said, name a metric and VBM outperforms consistently.

In theory, I will not disagree with you.

In real world outcomes, the US currently and largely fails the Carter Standards, always where electronic voting is in use, and a lot of the time where in person voting is used. And those failures boil down to shady voter roll tactics, caging, challenges at polling places and discrimination in both the number and accessibility of polling sites.

But hey! So long as you aren't an electronic voting advocate, it is all good with me.

Either, implemented well can execute democracy. And they coexist. Easy peasy.

VBM will continue to garner share as more people vote using by mail options that exist today. Early and absentee mainly. They spread the word nicely enough.
I guess what he is implying is, that the LED is the biggest cost factor on the BOM of such a product. If you have the goal of making such a product available to every household, would it be a feasible product if the bill of materials is say 40 USD already? How much would people pay for such a thing?

Of course in electronics everything gets massively cheaper with scale.
Yeah so obviously spiral staircases turn clockwise on the way down to give defenders an advantage. This guy claims it isn't true, then offers no evidence, except that he can't find any evidence that it is true.
I'm doing the much easier version of this with the 8086 right now. After having learned how to do that, I find it hilarious that I considered starting with a 386SX. This is a seriously difficult project for a hobbyist. I'm so glad someone did this though because now I can just kit and mod it and skip the designing.

Props on going for a full 32MB of RAM. No 16650 UART though? I'd add that.

Overall, congratulations!
This is absolutely amazing and beautiful work. Congratulations to Alexandru!

BTW can someone clarify what's the benefits of building the computer as an ISA board?
True, but SX used to stand (officially? dunno) for Singleword Xchange, as it had a 16 bit bus. DX was Doubleword Xchange, hence 32bit bus.

Then in the 486, the bus was always 32-bit (at least from Intel. I have a faint memory of Cyrix 486SLCs with a 16bit bus), and now the SX-DX indicated the presence of an integrated FPU instead.

Bonus: the 80487 was not just an FPU. It was a full 486DX which just disabled the main CPU and did all the work, and of course had an FPU.

Not sure how it avoids the existing legal system. That seems to be mostly an unconfirmed talking point for those shilling DOAs as something more transformational than they are. Disputes will happen and under current systems, can be resolved through the court system. We've seen this happen already.

We could stand for some competition in rule making, but the current rule makers would need to cede some control.
> What are the benefits that the existing CG-NAT and ipv6 couldn't provide?

CG-NAT is nasty: you can't be reached from the Internet and (this is the more important thing) IP-based rate limiting or activity tracking (think of stuff like Wikipedia and anonymous edits) don't work any more.

IPv6 adoption has been ... sluggish by any measure, I remember playing around with sixxs ~2010ish, and there still are providers that don't hand out native IPv6!
i need ipv6 nat because isp gives me only 1 ip.
> that whatever replaces the US system

I'm just generally opposed to a system being pushed by a single country. Don't care if that's the US, China, Russia or Nepal.

It's not because I don't like the US, I just wish that we all would get to say how that system is supposed to work, instead of the US thinking it knows what's best for "us". Similar to how it's for whatever reason okay that the US has it's military bases littered all over the world.

I've got nothing against y'all as people, but your government and military for sure grind my gears.

Yes.

Of course, firewalls are usually configured to prevent that. By default, on a home router.

But changing roles in the firewall is simpler without the need for port forwarding.
> castle specialists have proposed that these buildings were primarily structures intended to be impressive theatrical backdrops for complex ceremonies relating to status and prestige

I have seen castles that had only military living in them. Like, they were military outposts build around the time of Turk attacks. They tend to be high on mountain, not comfortably next to city.

Isn't it possible to have IPs from both WANs assigned to devices on your network? In that case you don't even have to switch.
Are these not strictly equivalent? The only argument I can see against it is inertia - the new way (by virtue of that same strict equivalence) is no better and we're all already used to the old way.
It's pretty sad that:

* Rio Tinto still exist, they're an abominable company which has basically done the morally wrong thing at every possibility

* that such environmental destruction is needed because we need lithium to prevent other environmental destruction.

To all the people saying that we can just switch all cars to battery electric vehicles, and renewables+enormous batteries for electricity generation and supply, that will require absolutely massive amounts of batteries, and their components, which today includes lithium. Hopefully alternative storage mediums and/or lithium extraction with less damage advance sufficiently to be usable soon.

Those are not sandbox escapes, those are missing intra-program defences which make it easier for a e.g. buffer overflow to be used for program manipulation. That still doesn't allow you to escape the sandbox in itself.
It could also possibly work on iOS, but there's a catch we have not yet explored. We're relying on something called the "confidence" score in the ToF camera API, which has 8 possible values (3 bits) in Android, but from what I last saw, has only 3 possible values total in iOS. It's not clear how this lack of info exposed by the APi will affect accuracy.

This is something we'd have to separately test, and ultimately make a wholly different app for if it's feasible on iOS.
It's a dark pattern because they claim the trial is free, but ask for a credit card. They are betting on the user forgetting to cancel, or worse, actually make it difficult to cancel. If it was just about giving the user a chance to try a product, they wouldn't need to collect credit card information. Some people claim it helps to prevent abuse. Maybe, but there are other, user-friendly ways to prevent abuse.

Nim works rather well too on pretty much any MCU that can run C. I even tried Forth for a while myself. I’m glad Rust is making progress too, but it seems limited on MCU support.
It's a definition thing. What you described is a fortress, not a castle.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle :

> A castle is a type of fortified structure built during the Middle Ages predominantly by the nobility or royalty and by military orders. Scholars debate the scope of the word castle, but usually consider it to be the private fortified residence of a lord or noble. This is distinct from a palace, which is not fortified; from a fortress, which was not always a residence for royalty or nobility;

NYT articles have become better in places but this isn't one of them. This is just stupid. Not everything people disagree on is a nationalist right wing movement, this is the bias that leaks from US partisan politics.

If being right wing is equated to being uncooperative, then by all means you probably will get a fairly successful right political wing at some point.
Yes, because port forwarding is a feature of NAT, which isn't needed for IPv6.
Not only that, They have to refund the ETH to everyone. (minus the high gas fees that were paid)

It is perhaps due to the high gas fees with the ETH price volatility and showing the total amount funded publicly which costed them since they were unable to afford the additional auction costs.

Perhaps better alternative blockchains that are designed to scale with very low transaction fees and support smart contracts with EVM compatibility, would have been better for this use case.

Clearly Ethereum has let down the web3 crowd once again on this occasion. What a shame.

Exactly. As far as I can tell all modern OSes are built on the assumption that users of a machine need protection from each other, rather than that each user needs protection from the third party code that they run.

The bottleneck in GNN computations is that the aggregation ops cant be expressed as matrix operations and require writing custom kernels. This problem was solved in PyTorch with torch-scatter. The other bottleneck is subsampling (e.g k-hop) which also dont benefit from GPU support. Other than that the embedding aspects can just be written as nn ops.

DAOs are what crowdfunding platforms should have been. Kickstarter and what not ended up being all the risk and none of the upside if the idea actually got traction. One can argue, this DAO was neither Decentralized nor Autonomous; what it did right was giving people a sense of ownership. We tend to focus on the costs and weaknesses of DAOs, but hardly any non-crypto services operate on "we let you hedge some money on a random idea". Turned out if you let people play, they play.
