I guess that would be prohibitively large for some uses.

I’d expect MicroPython (or Lua/mruby/etc) could be an order of magnitude smaller. Still larger (and slower) than just using JavaScript, though.
Looks neat! I'm wondering why/how the first two results pictures (under "Values For num_steps") in https://tylerxhobbs.com/essays/2020/flow-fields have flow lines that are crossing each other. The paths follow a direction field, so that shouldn't happen except where the gradient vector vanishes, which doesn't seem to be the case there.
After setting up a NAS with a Pi 3 earlier, I came to the same conclusion: it just wasn't ready for primetime yet. The USB bus was a huge bottleneck.

Pi 4 is a different beast. It's actually feasible to run it as a NAS without greatly compromising performance. They did a great job reducing the bottleneck, to the extent that I don't mind attaching all my external drives to a couple of these.
They seem to all walk in a straight line. Are they not able to make turns? It’s hard to tell if they’re even perceiving the VR environment or just doing their own thing on the sphere.

Atm / Nvidia is not great but the regulatory risk was entirely predictable and clearly Softbank was prepared to take that risk. Personally, I think it should be blocked and quickly.
Sadly, anti-semitism was rampant in medieval Europe and I would say that it was present until XX century [1], and massacres of jews were popular among all countries, e.g.:

- 1066 Granada Massacre (Granada was a Muslim Kingdom at that time)[2]
- England: 1190 York Massacre [3]
- Castile & Leon: 1391 Massacre [4]
- Brussels: 1370 Brussels massacre [5]
- ... [6]

In fact, I would say that jews have been the most hated ethno-religious group through Europe. The animosity of many cultures in Europe against them was almost omnipresent, both Christian and Islam-based.

Thus, jews were expelled from countries in Europe all the time [7], Spain was in fact one of the last countries to do so, on a side note, most countries expelled jews much earlier e.g.

Most of the Spanish jews chose to be baptized (among them the Abraham Senior, a senior member of the Castilian hacienda [8]) and is estimated that from a population of 400,000 a half of them remained in Iberia. Other sources (Henry Kamen) claim that [from] "80,000 Jews and 200,000 conversos, about 40,000 emigrated".

Of course, those who remained were subjected to discrimination as conversos, but that's another issue that even them was subjected to criticism by some important figures like Ignacio de Loyola (founder of Jesuits).

Many people prefer to be thought fools. For example I personally prefer to sit quietly and observe until the need comes for action. I find that my actions (although effective) are not understood by those who try to control me. It's quiet fun for me to watch as they meet with unanticipated difficulties... had they understood the danger they would stay away. Yet if I were to let people see who I am from the beginning they might lay better plans.
It depends. This is not an unbroken rule.

E.g. if you have 4 long lines all following the same pattern with minor modifications, the best way to both scan quickly and avoid bugs is to write them on their own line fully and align the common parts vertically.

Splitting each line into smaller parts for the sake of "vertical scanning" actually achieves exactly the opposite in this case.
Bamboo fabrics are rayon and I don't think that process would have been possible before modern technology so it's a bit different.
I don't expect anything, I just find the notion of selling without wanting to sell funny.
That's the way to go. Very often if we are asked "What do you want?" we can't give a good answer, whereas "What do you dislike / hate?" almost always gets an instant answer.

In this regard I just succumbed to this brain quirk so I prefer to find 5 things this month that irk me and do my best to remove them from my life, as opposed to meditating hours every day trying to find those 3-4 ultimate things that will instantly make me happy.

Better chase the mouse in your feet than to try and find the elephant beyond the horizon.
Chrome certainly doesn't have such thing unless you mean SpectorJS, yes it is bad, it is pre-historic compared with something like RenderDoc and Pix, which can on Pix's case, I can even single step and set breakpoints on shader code.
It depends heavily on the industry, but in my experience the vast majority of the business world runs on Microsoft products. For a lot of businesses (think more accountants or law firms than devs), Outlook, Excel and Word are must-haves. That means Windows is a must-have. That means if you don't have the supporting infrastructure (Azure or Active Directory) then administration becomes a nightmare, so those are a must-have. And at that point, since everything else is Microsoft, Teams gets used for comms and OneDrive gets used for filesharing.
I just checked. On my Windows laptop from work it uses 18.5 MB in the background. It uses 220-240 MB in the foreground though. Which seems totally unnecessary.

I already ditched the Toolbox app on macOS, because it marks the binaries as Intel only (while they're universal). The IDE's built in updater seems fine if you're only using the stable versions. So I think I'm just going to remove the Toolbox app from all my machines.

Depends on the type of autocomplete you mean.

For code, company mode is probably what you want. For the minibuffer, Ido (or fido if you want super-vanilla) plus which-key will get you far.

Here's what I have in my init.el:

;;(fido-mode 1)
(ido-mode 1)
(setq ido-enable-flex-matching t)
(setq ido-everywhere t) ; Also work with C-x C-f

(use-package which-key
:ensure t
:delight
:init (which-key-mode))

Delight is used to change or remove mode-line indicators for both major and minor modes.
Exactly my experience. My mind boggles at the thought that a Pi 1 was considered sufficient by anyone to be a desktop replacement with its tiny amount of RAM and processing power, even back then.
That is not completely true. There are many who are not deciding on what ads are shown and have no control over it.

I think all from posted by you remote dev envs fill other use-case and niche.

- "Code with me" is a Zoom/Google Meet with a code sharing.

- "Projector" provides Web view alongside of typical desktop-app IDE sharing. If you need example, there was a nice submission week ago that touches that topic [0].

- "Editing by SSH" - way another niche. Connect via SSH to remote machine, edit and synchronize your changes over the SSH. Nothing new, I guess Python and PHP devs love to use it. I have been recently using it, while I was tinkering with Raspberry Pi.

- "Remote development" or some kind "developer-machine-as-a-service" idea (JetBrains Space / Gateway), which is close to Projector, with a difference the machines are rented or managed by the company (burst usage). Ironically, it is nice idea even for small companies (<150), where employees were given low-spec PCs or some cheapest M1 laptops. All problems with CPU compatibility or other limitations to resources are solved by using a beefy remote machine.

For a person who used various way of remote coding in my life. I think all of those are complementary and I don't see any burden there. I hope they will keep and improve them over next years.

Build at the Edge with OpenFaaS and GitHub Actions
I have 3 main development computers on which I use CLion. One is shared duty workstation/server with 20 cores and 512GB RAM another is main desktop desktop with 16 cores and 128GB RAM and 3rd is tiny small factor PC with 8 cores and 128GB RAM which I drag around to summer cottage etc.

CLion is very fast on either. I guess gobbles of RAM counts. I also have laptops with 32GB RAM each but did not try it on those as I no longer use laptops for development (no business need).

Still as my main development language for backend is C++ I mostly use Visual Studio. Especially since their preview version allows seamless development / debugging on remote Linux server. Hard to describe but it just fits me better, feels more "natural".
Up to a point, yes. But there's a lower limit because photon energy depends on wavelength and you still need to activate a molecular resonance.

This is related to IR being primarily vibrational resonances (like these) while longer wavelengths (RF/microwave) can only invoke rotational resonances which are far less energetic.
The court case, I think, was about putting integration on hold rather than blocking acquisition.

Market-share and global user usage says otherwise. [0] [1] [2]

I know it is painful to admit, but the truth is that Firefox usage and market share is in constant decline and the users still do not care about it enough to use it. The decline started since the 2010s and continues to this decade with them still far behind.

So to recycle your sentence: 'Firefox is not even close to being a contender since Chrome, Safari, Edge and Brave have successfully replaced and overtaken it'.

I'm not ironic just puzzled: what was the UI change months ago? I'm using Firefox on two laptops and one Android and haven't noticed it...
Definitely not. This kind of brand whitewashing should be ignored as much as possible and whenever the 'new' brand is mentioned it should be followed by major former brand in brackets ('Facebook') to ensure that people aren't duped.
Very subtle irony...
Metaverse 2030 – inventor shares vision of our lives ten years out
Phones are not designed for content creation (and more broadly, treat on-device development as a second-class activity at best), while PCs are much more expensive and you could damage the Windows install by installing Linux in dual-boot.

By comparison, a basic Pi is development friendly, easily fixable, fairly cheap and inexpensive to replace if broken. If you already have the peripherals, the cost is quite low.
To quote Stephen Fry, moral relativism is just another way of saying "thinking".

Morals can come from culture, they can come from religion, or they can come from individual contemplation. Morals are axioms.

The one thing we can say for sure about them is that nobody agrees on what they should be.

Saying that advertising is a pest that should be actively removed is not even an uncommon viewpoint. The city of Sao Paolo famously banned all advertising.

It's a depressing situation, particularly knowing that Firefox is pretty much kept alive at Google's whim. It makes one seriously wonder whether it is feasible at all to maintain an independent open-source web browser in 2021. People tend to blame Mozilla's management and I'm sure there have been management failures but I'm not sure what they could do to make Firefox a thriving, independent, sustainable browser. It seems that the market niche of tech-capable people who value privacy and customisation over a simplified UX is not capable of sustaining Firefox on its own. So Mozilla tries to move in Chrome's direction, removing configuration options and "dumbing down" the UI, which frustrates its existing user base (including me) while apparently also failing to eat into Chrome's market share.

So what to do? Go back to being the quirky, heavily configurable browser we all know and love? That would be great for me, but even assuming Mozilla can afford to do that now (greater configurability leads to greater code complexity and therefore greater maintenance costs), experience seems to suggest it won't be enough to allow Mozilla grow its market share to a sustainable level.

Finally, and this is a bit of a tangent, but I've never quite understood why Mozilla got such a hard time from users about telemetry. I understand that telemetry is in general something to be suspicious of, but we're not talking about handing your data over to Google so they can target you with ads; we're talking about sharing technical data with a non-profit organisation to help them maintain and improve the browser you rely on. Mozilla are removing a feature you use daily? Okay, did you enable the telemetry that lets them know you use it? Receiving and analysing user data is increasingly important to delivering a good user experience. If open-source projects can't access the same data as proprietary ones do, we can't expect them to be able to react to user demands in the same way, and so we can't expect them to be able to compete in today's market.
Chromium features some google's telemetry
I've spent many, many hours talking to ATC and other aircraft. I don't know if the original story is true, but it's more or less believable. First off: I absolutely, 100% believe that pilots would do this. These are precisely the kinds of shenanigans one gets up to in the air.

The detail that makes this story not quite work for me is that it has civilian and military aircraft on the same frequency. That's now how it works in real life. They will talk to the same facility, but civilian aircraft use VHF and military aircraft use UHF. Coming into a certain dual-use airport we would often hear the ATC side of a conversation (tower transmitting on all its freqs simultaneously, which is normal) but we'd never hear the F-15s, for example.

I suppose, though, that it's possible that the military aircraft in the story switched over to the VHF frequency after hearing the ATC side of a hilariously (to them) slow speed check. I know at least some military ships have VHF capability, having talked to a few myself. Whether it's typical for the particular aircraft in the story to have VHF radios though, I don't know.

> Pine64 doesn't do any software, so the comparison is apples to oranges :-)

True, but Pine64 facilitates the FOSS community in spades when it comes to shipping a hardware profile with mainline support, and ensuring it's trivial for Pinephone users to run alternative operating systems down to the boot loader.

I'm a developer and the N9 was completely opaque, it would have required spending significant time just to even begin figuring out how to replace the OS.
Ofcourse I am not the average case. I'm not sure how you thought that needed pointing out.
What is the issue with Pyodide?
I think that it would be good to dedicate a few months with no new feature and just focus on fixing all the regression bugs, there's a lot of bugs that are reported for many months to a year seemingly without activity.

I used to like Intellij but got fed up and just stopped using it. Dealing with regression bugs isn't worth it. An IDE should be extremely stable, releasing new features is great but it shouldn't be to the detriment of existing features.
So it's not because it's an anagram for "Parolees Honk"? Or "Penal Hookers"? Or "Arsehole Knop"?
Who will pay to upgrade their cars, and why?

I know tractors have the same problem, but farmers are paying because they can log into each tractor and make decisions. Things like a field isn't yielding great so they can stop for lunch before getting the next load off...

I personally don't see drivers upgrading their car, but maybe I'm wrong.
I used it as my desktop for months. Almost a year, in fact. But then I was given a new (old) computer so the pi400 is in a closet until the summer when I will out Gcompris and Eduactiv8 on it for my kid.
And streaming technologies have a big advantage, they can take full advantage of modern hardware without any sort of driver issues on the client side blacklisting the page.
Power usage is another point in Pi 4's favour. My desktop spends at least 120W (ish) for fairly lightweight tasks.

Aluminum is very oxidation resistant once the initial thin oxide layer forms. I doubt that is the issue.

I would guess the reason is similar and would be weathering/erosion due to being outside and pelted with sand/rain/etc.
This is very much application dependent, so you'd have to take a 1980's application, say Visicalc and extrapolate to today, say Office 365 or Google Sheets.

This you can then do for different application domains, and both in absolute terms (# cycles wasted) as well as relative terms (%age of cycles wasted).
There are many different ways to move objects through a flow field. Some people use the vectors to accelerate particles, others as instructions for instantaneous rotation, etc. The crossing lines aren't necessarily following the flow field in those images, but likely are just using vectors as an input to another set of instructions.
I guess I'm not sure what your point is then.

> For me, the horn is a warning sign

Here in Massachusetts, it seems the horn has only three functions. The first, a quick "beep beep" signals that you recognize another driver or pedestrian and are saying hello. The second, a one to three second beep means that the traffic light has switched to green and car in front of you has not begun moving within 20ms. And the third, a five to sixty second "beeeeeeeeep" means that you consider the other driver to have made a mistake and needs to understand their very, very low place in the social hierarchy. This third one is the most used.

That makes sense.

In the small dev world it's kinda the opposite. Linuxy servers beget Mac dev machines, so AD is mostly out, leaving Apple enterprise stuff (shitty) or Google (OK, but nowhere near as powerful as Microsoft).

GDocs becomes the lowest common denominator and many people don't have Word anymore. Data is either cloud native (json, csv) or else imported into Gsheets.

I suspect some of this is due to the modern educational pipeline too, with gsuite (or Google Workspace, or whatever it's called these days) producing a generation of young workers who grew up on that stuff. It's caused quite a generation gap at my current workplace, where the older workers use Microsoft and the younger ones use Google and stuff keeps getting converted back and forth. And once in a while someone sends a PDF and both sides go nooooo...

I think most lawmakers have lost sight of the fact the original mandate of the entire legal concept of IP in the United States is explicitly to foster creative output for public good.
