There's a classic Charles Stross short story where, to spoil the story, some old men apparently "randomly" playing a board game to pass the time, are performing combinatorial magick to fight a demonically possessed ... well don't want to spoil the entire story. The background of the story is magick is real and based on math and computer logical operations and such. cstross used to post here occasionally and worked as a sysadmin in the olden days.

Anyway, aside from fantasy/sci fi stories, the interesting analogy with the story is just because I'm not smart enough to debug the system given no blueprints or explanation, does not mean an anthill is not running some novel and possibly interesting computational problem. Or bees nest or giant fungal mycelia in the dirt or herds of lobsters.

There are randomness detection and evaluation algos (distantly related to compression algos) and now that we have big data I suspect the next decades will have those algos rubbed up against big data and we'll discover interesting things about hive insects and what the hive is thinking as opposed to what individual insects are thinking. Or run it on dolphins or ancient human dwelling architecture.
You were using good software engineering principles way back then!

Now my obligitory fanboying: Those text adventures were an important part of my formative years. They inspired me to learn how to write more advanced programs, because I desperately wanted to create my own text adventures. My first one was a gigantic, unwieldy tree of if/then/else statements, and that painful experience led me to more learn advanced data structures and concepts.
And robovacs don't need to keep their motor running since they're not airborne so why the odd comparison? Obviously they both should react differently to intake blockage, my point was that even consumer devices have such detection features.
My Google Home has definitely done this on several occasions. Seems sporadic though, not enough to truly annoy me yet.
It only leaves lower tiered hierarchies worse off and only in the short term. Extracting value that way is never a long-term plan since the needs will either be fulfilled or the extraction will be complete and no more value can be created.

If people don't want to buy a product because it is inferior in some way, the solution isn't to ban superior products but to upgrade those inferior products to be superior again. And inferiority/superiority doesn't just mean quality, it can also mean features and the price-quality balance in itself. At the same time, the rest of the world doesn't "go away" if you construct an island within your borders that nobody is allowed to join, so at best it's going to end up in some sort of useless industrial-cold-war.
PGP had no economic value when published in defiance of the State Department. Why publish PGP when the personal incentives seemed to far out way the consequences? Phil Zimmerman still lives overseas.

That's my point. You can ignore economics entirely and zk proofs are still going to radically transform our societies and IT systems, long before considering their impact to the cryptocurrency industry.
Imagine when ransoms had to be paid in suitcases full of dollar bills with non-sequential serial numbers. Bitcoin has made it all so much easier.
The tl;dr is it's a standard mini ITX-sized motherboard for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. It has a Broadcom PCIe switch that it uses to power 4 mini PCIe slots, 4 M.2 E-key slots, 1 M.2 M-key slot, a x16 slot in the standard ITX location, and an edge x1 slot. It also has dual/triple-redundant 12v power supplies (barrel, aux +/- ATX, and PoE++ header, though it doesn't use a 24-pin ATX connector, so you need to power it with an adapter or via wall wart (I used a 96W barrel plug adapter).

Through the course of testing this thing, I also identified a bug in the PWM fan controller circuit—and apparently it's also a small bug present on the CM4 IO Board's implementation, but typically not a fatal one.
I bet the open rate on that email would be far from "adequate" (depending on the perspective we're looking at it from).
Frontend isn't so much more difficult as it is more annoying. The difficult parts of backend development might take a lot of research, design, and even experimentation but it is usually roughly logical. Frontend is often a case of wrangling cats in the form of dozens of libraries, all with different design paradigms. Due to release velocity, these designs are often poorly thought out. You spend lots of time editing configurations, often poorly documented, to get everything to work together. Much of it is trial and error instead of logical deduction.

My biggest challenge on the backend has been poorly documented systems with arbitrary design choices. This sounds a lot like the frontend but the difference is that on the backend, these quirks are relatively static. Once you figure the system out, you can build upon it. With the frontend you never know when some library is going to send a tidal wave through everything.
Right, which begs the question why on earth would there be more than one image color profile. The image color profile should just be implied and the same everywhere.

I would be surprised if the librarian had the flat-earther science manual already in the library.

But if it was already in the library, I would not want to ban it from the library as a remedy. That's insanity.

So, no, I don't want the book in the school library, but I sure as shit don't want to ban it from the school library either.

You also need a way to use your key to show a false result, or someone can use rubber-hose cryptanalysis to see your vote.
My point was that at the same speed, the freeway uses more energy than the highway. There's more to it than just wind resistance in my area at least.
It depends, there’s a trade off. At some point things can become very complicated if you don’t abstract them and put them in their own lib or framework.

I disagree that it was out of context either of the comment, or in the issue at large.

It doesn't matter that in this comment, the particular context was ostensibly 'move to the city to work in the office then get paid more'.

It's irrelevant - excessive demands in whatever form will be acquiesced by hiring better talent, elsewhere.

American workers making any kinds of special demands are going to get outsourced.

The tone of the article (and others is): "American Workers Leverage Over Big Corps" just like in this article: "Wall Street Grudgingly etc.". We saw the same with Apple yesterday.

In reality, the articles should be: "American Corps. looking overseas to diversity talent". Because that's what's about to happen. Anyone who thinks that these companies have any loyalty to their local nations, founding staff or culture, (and this applies broadly to the modern world) is mistaken.
I think the main advantage is that it's owned by this one guy.

The way I've heard it is is "Evolution, not revolution".

You evolve your code with refactoring and rewriting only pieces at a time. This is opposed to revolution, also known as "the big rewrite", which replaces the entire application all at once.

Your "modular enough systems" seems to indicate that you also favor evolution over revolution.
Is this a American cultural quirk I'm not understanding? Who cares that he's old enough to be her father? Why is it interesting or relevant? He married an attractive younger woman. She married a rich older man. It happens every day all over the world. Its not the first marriage for either of them and they both already have children. It says very little about either person involved except that one likes attractive women and the other likes rich men with a sense of humor (if we assume the most cynical motivations).

What's most hated about Satoshi's vision is how it prevents, and at the same time, theft through intentional inflation and easily picking/rewarding winners.

I kind of expected that we are talking about the basic mobility, such as my wife coming from a low income blue collar family becoming an upper-middle class architect. Not the chance of becoming a super-rich or super-powerful.
I think it would be fairly trivial to recoup the lead. Add a $500 deposits you get back when they are returned end of life cycle. Manufacturers should eat that initial cost with contract to return to them directly at end of life or they charge you the $500 as per contract if you fail to return them. If that doesn’t scale financially then I guess it’s a non starter. But something as big as a panel should be easy enough to recycle. Weather it is financially a viable business I don’t know the math of recycling one of these things to even get an idea if it is possible.
Why have books by non-contributing grifters?

Alas PCIe switches were starting to get affordable before the great chipmaker consolidation of 2015-2019 ("and seemingly overnight the cost of these switches increased three-fold"[1]). Now most every PCIe switch is >$6/lane. Even just the 12 lanes here, on an old PCIe generation, is going to be a $72 chip, perhaps more (article: PEX8619 Broadcom PCIe switch, $129, 16 lanes, $8/lane, no stock. Compare versus Microchip nee PMC-Sierra Switchtec such as PM40028B1 at $6/lane[2]).

It's a cool idea. But wow, for $435, sure feels one ought consider going for an x86 pc. The form factor is cool though.

It feels insane to hope for but I'm really hoping that by the time 2025 rolls around we see some modest affordable arm chips that have Thunderbolt built in. Perhaps even multiple Thunderbolt. If nothing else, there better be some decent PCIe available by then- 8x PCIe 5.0 or better. ARM needs to start doing bandwidth, some day (in places other than server class chips); it's been on USB3.0 for a long long time. Thunderbolt + PCIe would be a great boon for general usability & connectivity. Now that Intel has made it royalty free, now that USB4 already incorporates most of the hard part (packet based switching), it might finally be the time for some real PCIe on chip.

I wonder how much of the Crypto hype is because the US banking system still lives in the 1980s or thereabouts.

If everybody in the US had access to bank accounts with easy electronic transfers within 5 seconds for no charge, no chargebacks and so on, as people are used to in the EU, would people still be excited about Bitcoin?

I just tried running WinDirStat on the `node_modules` folder in a Create-React-App project I had lying around. Total size was 234 MB. Of that, 129MB was JS files. By far the biggest piece was TypeScript, which has 45MB of .js in 6 files making up its parsing and IDE language service implementation.

Beyond that, the breakdown is:

- .ts source files: 25MB

- Sourcemaps: 23MB

- Markdown: 15MB

- JSON: 10MB

It also looks like there's a 12MB Linux binary that was only in there as a publishing accident for the `user-event` library that has since been resolved ( https://github.com/testing-library/user-event/issues/266 ).

Or, take Redux Toolkit, which I maintain. If you look at https://unpkg.com/browse/@reduxjs/toolkit@1.6.2/ , the published package for our current version, it adds up to about 10MB on disk. But, that's because we ship three separate entry points (RTK core, RTK Query UI-agnostic core, RTK Query with React-specific additions), and for each entry point we compile the code to multiple file formats (CommonJS, ESM legacy, ESM modern, ESM with "dev" and "prod" already built in, UMD dev, UMD production), and each of those has sourcemaps. The actual amount of code that ends up in your bundle is about 20KB min+gz.

So, it's a combination of many things: TS itself is big, libraries typically publish packages containing both the original source code plus multiple build artifacts to run in different environments, and packages also include various metadata and other files as well.

I'm not saying this is necessarily a _good_ situation :) Goodness knows that JS dependency trees _should_ be much smaller. But there's a lot more nuance to it than just "245MB of code wut lol".

Most Bitcoin transactions have a quite high transaction cost, and I would argue that chargebacks are an important consumer protection.
A realtime clock for a mechanical timer of the type I believe the comment alludes based on reference to the 1970's would require stepper motors, solenoids, rigid frames and such to turn the dial. Maybe a camera too to determine the state of the timer.

...and hence the fussiness of home automation. Or to put it another way, clockworks are inherently so complicated that features are literally called "complications." TAANSAFL. YMMV.
I don't think that's a fair summation: it's really common for people go with what's familiar without critically examining it and both economics and psychology are rife with studies showing how people make decisions less than purely rationally. Some of the most famous examples are related to that quote above: people buy larger houses thinking about the times they'll use extra amenities while ignoring how infrequently they do so or how much time they're spending every day commuting to where they could afford that wish list, or downplaying how much time they spend commuting because they want to think they have a 45 minute commute rather than an hour and are thus “running late” almost every day, etc.

Even very smart people do this kind of thing — I'm thinking of someone I knew who has a math Ph.D. but chronically misjudged their bank account — because they aren't approaching it as a rigorous analytical problem but are just running along on habit, what their peers are doing, and often the stories they tell about how it'll get better once they're further along in their career. If you've been telling yourself that the long hours will get better once you have experience, then that promotion, then at the next job, … it's not hard to just keep doing what you've been doing, especially if you're well paid enough to say it's worth it because you'll retire early.

musl really becomes a pain if you work a lot with Python. You can't use wheels, which means you will have to compile everything yourself, which sometimes takes ages, and you're not guaranteed that it won't have unnoticeable errors.

My biggest issue was with the 3.12 -> 3.13 transition, when musl got upgraded to 1.2 and with it "musl 1.2 uses new time64-compatible system calls". This broke so many things for me without me knowing, like nginx having as the datetime in the logs the unix epoch. All continued to work, but everything related to timestamps was completely messed up, on 32 bit OS due to running on Raspberry Pis.

This was the moment where I decided to stick to debian-slim, and only very specific containers will continue running on Alpine. Before that it was my default container OS.

Also there is no reliability in packages getting updated, sometimes they just disappear in the next version. But these things are rare occurrences, which only are then nerve wracking when you are confronted with them. For 90% of the cases Alpine is one of the most awesome container OSs.
