I bought the first generation and returned it sometime 2.5 years ago.

My takeaways:

- my colleagues who loved it back then still love it and have been joined by a few more

- personally I'm still happy that I returned mine and got an iPad instead although ideally I had gotten the iPad in addition instead of as a replacement.

- the writing experience was fantastic! It feels like writing on paper and the results are of similar quality. When someone I know who can draw she made a beautiful drawing quickly and was impressed.

- the return process (at that time) was a case study in bad ux. Not dark patterns as far as I could see (once I contacted them they were very helpful and did not try to upsell me or anything, but I actually gave up trying to register the return myself)

- what turned me away in the end was that 1.) I didn't have budget for both the Remarkable and and iPad and 2.) the Remarkable was then too limited on its own (I use my iPad for notetaking, udemy, virtual meetings over Zoom and what not that I don't want to install on my work machine and probably a few more things) 3. at the time there was no Linux sync and it was bot clear for me how good ssh support was going to be (I still don't know but hear good things). 4. Locking was limited to 4 digit pin.

- an unintended benefit of going for the iPad was that I realized iOS was sufficiently different from Mac that I could actually like it, so I now have a cheap iPhone as well.
Beaten? Do you think we're having some sort of pissing contest here? Go to Facebook if that's your goal. I stated from the beginning this issue is that the batteries cannot provide power long enough to sustain off-road trips or long distance towing. You'd know that if you actually read the comments instead of worrying about besting me.

Why aren't you replacing all of the ICE vehicles right now? What happened is I pointed out the obvious EV flaw and you completed avoided it by discussing other irrelevant issues, like high torque. Try some hubris. Being in the military certainly doesn't negate ineptness these days.
We don't contribute but we want control -- if we can't have it, we will libel the project.

Almost every open source project is being overtaken by social justice warrior leeches. Even Linus Torvalds was kicked out of Linux. I'm surprised that the Rust community pushed back.
There are multiple things in this space.

* The Lenovo writing pad device - https://www.lenovo.com/nl/nl/yoga-book/

This thing is different from all other devices on the market. You can write on the device itself, or you can put a piece of paper on top of it and write on that which will simultaneously be digital iirc.

* A smart clipboard, I'm sure there are non-kickstarter variations of this out there somewhere as well

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clipboard-plus/clipboar...

* moleskine has a smart pen + smart notebook combo that syncs live with your phone

The good news is that the Netherlands has come a long way too. It used to be far more car-centric, but over the years has steadily made improvements as part of ongoing maintenance. And now we're at the point where we're even re-digging canals that had been paved over for a 12-lane motorway [1] in the 70s.

In my experience, getting the griddle to the perfect temperature requies overheating initially and the cooking a crappy pancake. No matter how many times I make pancakes (contribut to a new project) the first one always sucks.

Also, don't butter the pan. Put the butter in the batter.

In my experience, people who want you to fix their PCs mainly want you to get stuff done, rarely do they want to know what you've done precisely or learn
"how to". Still, teaching some basics (mouse controls, basic shortcuts and web browser basics) is essential, but make sure you can be efficient at just fixing their machine.

Good luck to everybody for the upcoming Christmas fixes.
Rail services in European countries are not covering their costs in any country, as far as I know. Speaking of Switzerland (which is notably at the extreme end in terms of costs) public rail services are run a lot like infrastructure projects / economic booster packages by the government. Whether or not ticket prices or capacities are increased is more down to politics and economic perception than actual demand. So it's fairly obvious that there are no incentives to make cross country traveling more attractive. Politicians decide about the rail services and they are only interested in the opinions of their constituents. More crowded trains due to tourists might as well hurt their popularity. It's a broken system in certain ways.
If you haven't spent time learning to code, I strongly suggest spending a semester learning Python. I cannot overstate how many windows this alone can open up to you.

I know this is another +20 hours of your time but it's definitely worth it.
A language(American Sign Language) used primarily by the deaf and hard of hearing in North America. Though in this context, they probably mean Age, Sex and Location.

This is awesome! 100% I will do a similar project in the future, so saved this article for reference. Well written.

Quick question, if for example you decided to another RPi to the cluster, how easy do you think it would be? Just attach it and connect to the network?

Being a moderator is a thankless job, and when you don't have any power to do that job, it also becomes soul-sucking.

I don't think the moderators are concerned about culpability. I think they're concerned that what appears to be an internal debate is going to get dragged out for months on end, in public, with all context loss, and with even less ability on their part to do anything useful or constructive.

If I were in their position, I would very likely do the same thing and try to learn some lessons and move on with my life.
The name is actually referencing nix in latin, which means snow. That’s also why the logo. But even better is “nix flakes”, which just takes the name to a completely different level.

I took that approach on my latest Flask project and it’s gone quite swimmingly. The problem I ran into was that a lot of the ecosystem, and therefore documentation, blog posts, helper libraries, etc., are all written under the assumption that you’re using an ORM. It took a while to figure out how to work around that, but once I did, I was home clear.

I also used a helper library to automatically map namespaced .sql files onto python functions with various return types, which made the development process way more elegant: https://nackjicholson.github.io/aiosql/. Absolute game changer if you plan to go this route - can’t recommend it highly enough.
You realize that the author of those posts are also devs right?

Please don't confuse the breakdowns in specific political groups with overall community. In any realm there are 10-100s of quiet participants for each loud person who takes on some public role and tries to organize things. Enthusiastic bureaucrats often clash unless there's de-fact dictatorship that suppresses such conflicts before they create too much noise. But their problems are not representative of everyone else's work and participation.
You realize that the moderation team were all rust contributors/developers, right?
There are a lot of comments asking for vegans to explain themselves and their choices. Vegans are not doing something. If I sit in a chair quietly in a room and another person in the room is running around breaking stuff because “it’s enjoyable” and “the stuff can’t feel any pain” I doubt you’d ask me, the person sitting quietly in their chair, to explain myself. Meat eaters with no concern for animal welfare or environmental concerns need to be doing the explaining.
>I don't like either, but if something is physically damaged (which lasering it off effectively does), then it's more reasonable (and it's not like software could reactivate it anyway).

why is it more reasonable? from a purely rational point of view, there really shouldn't be any difference between a physical method of disabling feature, and a software method of disabling it. Instead, I feel like it's more emotional than anything else, similar to "if I (the consumer) can't have it, they (intel) can't have it either!".

>What I'm talking about are features that are perfectly functioning, that are present in in the hardware/software, but that are locked off because the manufacturer wants to nickel and dime you. The business model of "soft-upgrading" CPUs is garbage for this reason.

Isn't lasering off cores the same here? Often times the cores are perfectly working. The only difference is the lack of soft-upgrades, but the "nickel and diming" arguably still occurs at the point of sale.

>It'd be like selling a Swiss Army Knife with 75% of the features physically blocked off, but still present. Would you take issue with someone modifying such a knife to access the parts that are already there?

No, I wouldn't take any issue with them trying to modify it. It's their property and they can do whatever they see fit. That said, I fail too see how that's relevant to the discussion, and it feels more like a strawman. Everyone in the comment thread is talking about whether it's "right" for intel to do it, or whether people are justified in being outraged at intel. At no point were people arguing for/against "tak[ing] issue with someone modifying such [product] to access the [features] that are already there".
The market is happy.

Jpow goes brrrrr.
I just hope it's not about either something silly (like tabs vs spaces) or something important but unrelated (like BLM).

This is cool! But this suffers from multiple translations:

actual_cpu(browser_sandbox(wasm(x86_emulator(python_interpret(python source)))))

Is there some way to do a more direct JIT in wasm? Or maybe just a normal python interpreter written in wasm? Or would that not be faster?
I have used Rust for years, but I never bothered with looking into the governance structure.

How are team members selected? Who has authority to kick someone off a team? How are team leads selected? Who can remove team leads?

Is it the core team? If so, who picks the core team?

I can't find anything online, except this very bare-bones WIP stub. [1]

This seems to be a glaring and surprising oversight.

Especially at this point, with Rust becoming more and more popular, the foundation in place for almost a year, and corporate interest flooding into the project, I would have expected proper procedures to already be in place for quite some time.

There certainly seem to be other cracks in the system. See for example "I refuse to let Amazon define Rust" by core team member Steve Klabnik, extensively discussed here on HN. [2]

If and when that happens I'll re-evaluate. I don't buy the SpaceX marketing about the Starship for a millisecond. (And I'm baffled why a government contractor that isn't publicly-traded is marketing to the public in the first place.)

I think it is originally from China, I see it a lot in Chinese stories and never seen it anywhere else (except here now).
I would think USB would be more of a OS issue, though. If a USB driver came as a blob, my Talos II obviously couldn't run it, but otherwise pretty much all USB stuff just works if I have source code for it (Fedora). Page size can ruin your day for some devices -- I have to hack FireWire, for example, because it assumes a 4K page size and Fedora uses 64K pages -- but so far no issues with USB or AMD GPUs.

Optimization is a bigger issue, though autovectorization in compilers is making it less of a problem than it used to be, as well as us nerd pioneers getting things upstreamed.
Yes!! Just to be explicit here - the dev behind the original Hammerhead makes a whole suite of iOS music apps now. Still going strong, crazy value for the money. Bram Bos is great.
I hope compojis makes it into some kind of standard. Some of the combinations are just silly, but often they help express an emotion that is difficult to express concisely otherwise. Maybe ligatures could work as a technical avenue?
Right. It may also be possible that there is some hope of this action restoring normality. i.e. as a result of this protest, the Core Team become more accountable. At that point, I assume the specific incident(s) may be dealt with according to the Code of Conduct, which may or may not involve transparency. Either way, it could be premature and possibly prejudicial to air those now.

This is accurate.
Beta testers one and all. The enduring legacy of Tesla will be that it moved the car market towards electric.

It will never be mass market in the same way as Ford or Honda, quality is a culture that takes a lot of time and effort to establish.
They’re more expensive, especially factoring in the motherboard. But as a sibling points out, it’s not like HEDT is inexpensive from any vendor.
As the other commenter pointed out, he probably meant "great for identification but terrible for authentication".
I realized that after I had commented but could not correct it due to the edit button going away. HN guidelines require you to "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
> For home desktop use I don't really see the point

Lucky that you don't need to run NixOS as your OS to get a lot of the advantages from it then. I use debian for my boring desktop applications but have Nix available to me for when I need any e.g. development tools.
I love Rust. Its the language I use most these days.

But seems like there is a new drama every week with the core team and community.
Without knowing details, I can say from experience that those who feel they are the most righteous are often the most wrong. I’ve been on both sides of this.

If this has to be aired publicly, then we need to be able to objectively assess. Otherwise, I’m reading this as ‘we don’t get along with those guys and gals on the core team and vice versa’, which is, fine, it’s just humans not getting along.

Which reminds me, I don’t get along with some team members either. I want to write an email just like this, a veritable ‘fuck off, you stink”. Feels good. Now what?

Move along everyone, we’re all adults after all (right?).
Do you want a competence hierarchy or a political hierarchy?

Music Player? First off, it is "free" with in-app purchases, which translates to: we are hiding the cost of the app = sketchy nonsense. The age of the app is indeed a positive indicator, but reviews are not a good indicator. Also, it is yet another privacy rapist with all the unnecessary tracking. The worst part is that nowhere in the tiny blurb does it indicate that it actually works with Apple Music!

Even when you do manage to find a potential replacement for Apple Music, Apple has locked devs out of key features like showing lyrics and the ability to remove anything from your library. This goes back to my original point...

They don't want to make the specific issues public, but take a stand against the core team being non-responsive to issues raised by the moderation team. We don't know what or why beyond the fact the moderation team feels it can't perform its job when the core team does not submit to the same rules the rest of the community does.
In my personal experience such statements are pretty rare actually.

Most software has zero need for this.

My company's product contains a web server. We don't bother to check to see if some other program is using port 80 or 443, we just use it. The reason is that we own the machine, we install the software, and we know there is nothing running on these ports; and more, if something is on these ports, we have no way to recover, so terminating abnormally is the right answer.
Equally well read as "all others are non-essential" -- tantamount to "subordinate". Guaranteed to seed resentments among those outside the "core".

The social fix would be to change the name "Core" to "Base Language" or some such. Perhaps fork off a separate "Ecosystem" committee with broader representation.

Bona fide: Was once myself on the other side of a "Core" team boundary.
This doesn't make sense to me. In what use-cases do we use our personal computers authenticated but also unauthorized?
This is an issue that shows up often. ASCII is used because the performance cost is less than the benefit of guaranteeing that the exact value retrieved is the exact value stored.

I often wonder why BCD file formats are not used.
Funny, it's the opposite for me: Would someone please host the serverside so I don't have to? I'd love to pay for an IDE-as-a-service that updates itself, syncs itself everywhere, has all the right extensions, auto-configures Docker and data stores and secrets and Git and linting and Webpack interation and and and... etc. Something like Vercel but for the IDE.

I hate fighting IDEs (whether it's IntelliJ or VSCode) before I can write useful code. Javascript has gotten so bloated that half the challenge of any new project is setting up tooling. God, I'd love a 1-click "create new project" and then a GDocs-like IDE in the cloud, and would happily pay to never have to configure that again myself.
I don't actually believe that; but I can't speak for everyone of course and obviously many of us think we're pretty special. I think the distinction is not that helpful though. I think the issue is actually us projecting our own subjective morals and values rather selectively, very subjectively and a bit inconsistently.
Could we have someone from the Rust Core Team here for a statement for more context rather than us guessing the context?

We still don't know what is going on.
Sure but there is no way for us to know who the wrongdoer is in this case.

I liked this book too! But not at all in the vein I'm talking about here. Thinking books that actually talk about software/programming in technical depth.
Sure it has been shown: because people have places they would like to get to that the city is making too difficult for them. It clearly exists, it is just a stupid excuse.
Launch capacity as a whole was never really a big bottleneck and is also driven by demand and supply. But even cutting down cost didn’t really meaningfully increase demand, as Falcon showed.

SpaceX is already in the spot they cannot utilize Falcon capacity - if you look at their earlier plans, they were expecting to lunch them more than once per week long time ago. Instead, even with a bulk of their launches being internal ones, they are still way below that goal.

Assuming Starship can deliver on their design goals, we’ll see if another price cut will actually drive up the demand.
They are both very good. I really liked the flexibility of the Boox.

The remarkable does have a superior screen writing feel by far. That was much more important to me in the end.

I won’t lie, I miss the Boox ability to customise the UI and install tons of things.

But I find the simple on/off notes and reading with remarkable just works for me.
