I'm so phenomenally excited by this.

I bought a ReMarkable 2 excited about the screen, without fully understanding the degree to which the general-purpose-device functionality had been hobbled. (No amount of we-let-you-ssh-into-it will get you bluetooth keyboard support when the wifi+bt chip has bluetooth hardware-disabled in solder. Caveat emptor.)

Of course it's early days yet for the PineNote, but it's moving in the direction of more general-purpose functionality, not less. And that can only be a good thing.
Just chiming in saying thanks for Ardour! I'm far from skilled, but it's one of the few programs I always have installed on at least one machine.
From the FAQs on https://linklonk.com/about: "No, at the moment I don't have plans to open-source it."
k3s is so 2019. Kind is where it's at. /s

Personally, k3s is good for bare-metal since it's slightly lighter-weight than a kubeadm-provisioned cluster. However, I found it too heavy-weight for running k8s on a laptop. I believe it uses etcd, which is pretty noisey.

Kind is a lot lighter, I've found. And it runs in Docker, which is great. I haven't tried using it for more complex stuff like service meshes and storage; I'd expect issues there since it's pretty stripped down. For local testing, however, it's solid.

I've heard k0s is similar.
If after 20 years you're no longer excited about a new DAW, I'm sorry to hear that, but there are plenty of folks who still get excited when something new comes out that tries to address a gaping hole in the digital audio space. You can be set in which DAW you use because you've been using it for over a decade (even if you own all the other ones because things go on sale so much, and hardware comes with "cheap to upgrade to the full version from" licenses for everything that it's nearly impossible not to just own all the DAWs after a few years. Except maybe Pro Tools), and still go "this looks... really cool, actually. Let's see if it has magic".

(Although of course, if you _make_ a DAW your story is vastly different from the end user experience. You are not hoping to find that magic, you'll have already determined what the magic is, and considered most ways to try to implement it, and maybe even fell out of love with it because of that)
Is there something similar but for Whatsapp?
This is theoretical particle physics and involves a lot of Quantum (field) theory.

If you want to understand about this, you need to learn about quantum mechanics and (special) relativity. Lie groups are the relevant symmetry groups to learn.

If you are interested, there is a nice little book "Lie groups for pedestrians" by Lipkins.

If you know nothing about theoretical physics, a popular guide is Nobel laureate t'Hoofts https://goodtheorist.science/
I agree that they are likely following the advice of 3rd party lawyers, but that absolutely does not let them off the hook. Legal documents just aren't that hard to understand, if the organization doesn't bother reading them or takes a maximalist approach that is absolutely their choice.

You shouldn't need to back and forth and have leverage to get a reasonable contract, the "standard contract" should be balanced. If they argue that it's the lawyers doing it and that oh no of course they would never use total ownership is a good starting point -- regardless of whether there's competition with their business or whether it's done on the clock -- they are going to keep using lawyers as an excuse to screw you over.

Yeah, companies need protection from some things but employees do too. It shouldn't take a state law to get employment contracts to be appropriate instead of simply "arguably legal".
Ironically enough, I tend to find more useful rust snippets in r/rustjerk than in the official r/rust sub.
It is an important distinction between designing an SOC with ARM provided cores and designing the cores from scratch. People on this thread are comparing AWS’s achievement to the M1, but that’s just in a totally different ballpark. Obviously still hard to design custom silicon and custom servers around it, but it’s fair to say that’s a for cry from “optimizing the cores for the workloads that run on EC2” as has been suggested in this thread.
To the author: thank you for this, I’ve mostly given up on aggregators for surfacing deep technical content. Looks like I was wrong.
For what we'd today consider the "hardcore" players, the Dooms and Quakes were all about multiplayer deathmatch. Most of the players I knew didn't care at all about single player. LAN parties were big. In 1994, you couldn't find a campus computer lab not taken over by DOOM deathmatches. Remember SERSETUP and TCPSETUP? Online multiplayer matchmaking was in its early days, but that's already where the "scene" was. You had DWANGO for Doom. Then a guy called Scott Coleman and a few others hacked TCPSETUP to create iDoom, vastly improving network game initiation. This eventually turned into the Kali gaming service. Later, more advanced matchmaking services like Qspy (which later turned into the GameSpy business) made it even easier. I recall running what may possibly have been the first Doom 2 Internet tournament from my dorm room. When QTest came out in 1996, it was multiplayer only. No single player. We all played the shit out of those three preview levels, and I don't think when the full Quake was eventually released I even played the single player game.

Multiplayer (Dooms/Quakes) and mods (mostly just Quakes, due to the difficulty of modding Doom), were the two huge drivers of those games' scenes.
Yes, multiple times. And this can happen at a well managed company. To some extent it's my niche. I'm not a coder (I program, but don't touch our product code base), but an industrial scientist, and these projects often involve multiple disciplines such as mechanical and electrical as well as code. My process is to start by just trying to figure out the theory of operation, and identify what is usually a single critical path of data through the code.

Right now I'm looking at a relatively small code base that was written by an engineer in the embedded systems team. The original authors are retired. It's generously documented, and a pleasure to read. This makes my life easier, but also less of a hassle for the un-retired engineers on the receiving end of my requests for help. I don't know about commercial coding, but adding comments and documentation can help a non-specialist work their way through code if they have some decent programming background.

The full re-write can happen if the departed developer is an entire departed business, e.g., an acquired company comes with code that is obfuscated to the point of being Goedel-undecidable ;-)

Science isn't flawless. There's the so called reproducibility crisis. I think what helps science is that nothing of lasting value depends on a single critical path from data to results, but is reinforced by looking at things from multiple angles. For instance we'd still trust general relativity had the Eddington experiment never happened. And scientists such as myself are always looking for ways to make our own work more open and reproducible. In my work, Jupyter Notebook has been a game changer.
People that don't want technocratic control of money and people that want to use money for illegal means are two groups with a lot of overlap.

Tangentially, this is my frustration with the death penalty - it's way too complicated & error-prone when much simpler, reliable, and humane methods are available like this.

Humans are easy to kill, and it's not hard to do so humanely.

(Yes, there are many other problems with the death penalty besides the technical execution of it, but you'd think we could at least do that part right.)
>Pretty much every culture around the world in ancient times had some sort of moral explanation for why infanticide was allowed.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide

At least half of the history in the wiki describes major civilizations and religions which absolutely banned the practice. Ancient Egypt, all Abrahamic religions, ancient China... Apparently many people did thought infanticide was immoral and did ban it.
I think a good approach for a company betting the farm on an external project that may stop being maintained (or may decide to head in a different direction) is to basically become expert in the project themselves. They should probably pin the version and be fully aware of new changes, and ready to modify the project to suit their needs.
Politicians not being able to fund infrastructure, education or healthcare on the other hand, is a disastrous thing.
I had no idea it also rendered components with Skia I’ll have to give it a go. I gave up C# on mobile for Flutter and I kind of miss C#. The Xamarin experience left a sour taste for me.
I understand why, but it's really hurting adoption of this project to lock the installers behind a paywall. When I'm looking to download something like this, I already have garage band and logic. I'm not willing to really give you 15$ without any proof this will work for me. However, if the installers were available for free, I would have no trouble paying €5 or so on the honor system. Assume it works for my computer and all that stuff
My spam filter works very reliably for all such cases; my first and only manual rule I had to add recently was to stop "bitcoin" spam delivered by Jira accounts; and I also check the filtered messages from time to time. I think there will be spam with any protocol we might get in future.

Now, I know "ultra long life", but what is "ultra high life"? Sounds more like "live fast, die young, leave a beautiful body" to me - but I'm not sure how that applies to microswitches...

Too complicated, I'd like to start over with a new proposal.

Get rid of bulk discounts on domains, enforce a fee on bulk purchases.

First 15 domains per tax id are available at regular price. Additional domains have fees that escalate with scale.

The companies using automated systems to scalp 100,000+ domains should disappear over night.

This can attempted as an experiment for a new TLD first.

Seconding this. It’s a broader problem I find on open source repos where they bury or leave out the info a first time visitor wants: what does this thing do? Why is that better? What does it look like in practice?
Them: There seems to have been a misunderstanding. We thought it was clear that we'll be equal partners in this startup. You get 3% equity which is MORE than generous given that this is my life's dream I'm sharing with you (here's a 5yr NDA btw restricting you from working anywhere else in the same industry for that duration of time). So go ahead and start asap. We have all the ideas and you do all the coding, for free, this is called skin in the game. Then after the product works we'll all make lots of money! That's why none of us take any salary. We all work. Us by providing ideas and you by coding hard and giving 110%. Also please sign here stating that you are not an employee but a contractor, even though we'll call you an employee and treat you as such.

I saw this posted to HN by someone else, but when I went to discuss it the discuss button took me to a blank page. I discovered this article had been censored somehow off HN, either by a moderator or an automated algo using human flags.
Bingo. Censorship opens the door to all of these questions.

Censorship is bad, even if done for the right reasons.
For a second, I thought "capsule" meant "pill." "Pod" would've been a better word.

I really liked this. It resonates with the way that I write software.

Way back in the dawn times, I wanted to be an artist. That never worked out, but the process that I learned, has informed my software development.

The best projects are the ones that I don't know how to do[0].

When I write software, it is highly iterative. The project I'm working on now, is like that. It has taken a long time, because none of us really knew, exactly, what it would be. It is now in the final stretch, and looks good. Damn good. It never would have gotten there, in a corporate environment. I would have been forced to ship garbage, months ago, and that would have (definitely) flamed out. It may, still, but we won't be wondering if it was because we took shortcuts.

I call my process "Paving the Bare Spots."[1] Works a charm, but bothers those with overly-exercised sphincters.

I’m not sure what he means by the most Slavic ancestry being from female slaves in the Middle Ages. Who was taking slaves besides the Turks?
People aren't talking about crypto currencies in the same way they talk about esoteric languages - those are consistently framed as practically useless for-fun side projects. Crypto, on the other hand, is instead framed as a large scale revolution of our existing systems and pushed as something that should be used be people worldwide while having significant problems they many believe are very damaging on a societal level.

For some definition of "snugly". It's really easy to tighten a chain so much that the saw won't run. Loosen it a bit, and the saw cuts fine yet it's easy to pull a bit of the chain out of the slot (the latter with the saw off). At least, that's the case for the cheap/old saws that I've used...

Don't worry I'm not running any saw without bar oil. Or rather, used motor oil, since I have plenty of that.

Anecdotal example not widely-applicable.

This kind of thing is totally unenforceable in the UK. The corollary of clauses about side projects is that you are unable to work anywhere else whilst you are employed at the company, again totally unenforceable in the UK (the case law against restraint of trade goes back to the 17th century in the UK).

The only exception to this is if the work you are doing outside the contract conflicts/overlaps with the work you are doing within the contract. In that case, if the employer inserted a restraint of trade clause into the contract, that would be enforceable (that is a standard non-compete, which is perfectly legal and sensible).

It is all total nonsense though. UK employers, and lawyers, are a bit mad about this kind of thing. They will insist on things like probationary periods or working "at will" for a period of time...and then they will demand that you yield 24 hours of your time whether awake or asleep to them...whilst they pay you for 7 hours. It is what happens when underemployment is high.
I didn't mean to imply that I'm no longer excited by a new DAW. We're in the middle of adding clip launching to Ardour right now, and that alone is fairly exciting. What I meant was that I don't really detect much excitement in the world from the emergence of a new DAW, and what I do see mostly comes from people who don't seem to actually know very much about existing DAWs. There are way more people talking about Blender 3.0 than anytime a new version of any major DAW is released.
Email is fine. It's simple, it maps very well to peoples' intuitive real-world understanding of "mail" and it works. I've had the same email address for decades. I get some spam, but I don't drown in it. I get more spam in the real (postal) mail, if you measure by the ratio of spam mail to legitmate mail. And I get real mail that is spam but looks legitimate on first inspection.

It's generally very easy to identify spam email, and delete it. I can almost always do this by the sender and subject line alone, without opening the message. It takes less time to do this than it does to periodically peruse your spam folder for false postives.

Encryption/digital signatures that rely on any kind of PKI architecture won't work, because most people don't understand it or won't trust it or both.

What might work is ssh-like "trust on first contact." You get a signed email from a friend. You get a little notice "you haven't seen this signature before, do you want to trust it." You can turn it off if you don't want to bother with this, and you need to be able to easily revoke the trust if you make a mistake (so even this is getting complicated). The keys need to be generated with no more complexity than "ssh-keygen" (and I work with many people, college-educated, who can't manage even that).

I'm in tech, I do it for a living. I don't sign my email, and I don't verify signatures on the signed email I get. If I don't think it's worth the bother, my mom certainly won't.
> Well there's the issue, isn't it? The government has to know your identity unless you're committing a crime.

Depends how much you earn. Below a threshold it’s entirely legal to earn income and report nothing to HMRC. Taking the stance that anyone not reporting to HMRC is tax-evading would turn the whole idea of due-process and “innocent until prove that guilty” on its head. The government should be forced to substantiate its accusations with evidence, and a lack of any record is not evidence of a crime.

> > The government has an interest in many things. Doesn’t necessarily mean that individuals share that interest and should capitulate.
> This isn't an argument against the government knowing who its citizens are.

Isn’t it? Governments should exist to serve their citizens, not the opposite (at least in a democracy). If a population don’t want their government to know who they are, that their prerogative. Nothing inherently gives a government a right to know who it’s citizens are, it might be useful and even necessary to provide certain services, but it’s for the people to decide what the trade off is, not government.

> Why should we be providing any service to anybody without having any information about them?

Yeah, that’s like my entire point. The other side of that coin is “why should citizens provide any information to government with they don’t want to use their services?”.

> So one person can show up and collect the same benefits 10x at the expense of everyone else?

Don’t know how you got to this conclusion. It totally reasonable for a government to make access to benefits dependent on providing basic identity information to prevent abuse. But if someone doesn’t want to access benefits, then why should they need hand over identity information? Equally if those benefits can be provided with collecting the information, then why should it be handed over? I should need to hand over my ID so an NHS doctor can fix my broken leg.

> At a BARE MINIMUM the government has to know your identity to determine your eligiblity to vote and to levy taxes. And both of those are so fundamental and important that I don't see how you can possibly argue that "shadow citizenry" is acceptable.

Sure, but if you don’t want to vote, or earn above the tax free allowance, then why should you need to identify yourself? And even if you do identify yourself, why should that process be centralised. Each organ of a government can figure out what they need to perform their function, and only request that data. Just because you want to vote, doesn’t mean the HMRC and the Home Office should automatically know who you are.
That has been improving a lot, and now Windows own advantage can be used for Linux gaming - you can run most Windows games on Linux. MS can of course mess it up, but that helps Linux grow now, eventually making more developers release for Linux proper.
It seems unclear, the Intel has fewer cores (6 vs A1's 8) and probably less memory bandwidth per core, but then each core would be faster than the Graviton1. You'd need to benchmark your specific workload to find out.
Honestly, my main complaint about this is that if you consider the types of people that would be willing to demand a contract amendment you can see that this kind of screws over junior employees and people who don't feel they have the social status to push back.

I've also had many contracts amended on request/insistence, but I have a lot of leverage. I shouldn't need a bunch of leverage to get obviously abusive clauses removed, a brand new graduate deserves to be subjected to it no more than I do.
This is the first edition soley for developers, and you had to specifically apply for a coupon code about a month ago to be able to buy one. I do not know if they have any left over ones, but I sincerely doubt it, as they said they got a lot of interested parties for it.

If you are looking to get one now, you will have to wait for the "Explorer Edition", which I think will come out in a couple of months?

My personal opinion, Pine64 has had to work out a few "kinks" in the hardware (if you look at the Pinephone Braveheart, 1.1, 1.2a, 1.2b). I would not be surprised if similar kinks appear in the PP Pro.

Generally these kinds of clauses should be viewed as red flags. I had one contract that was something like "We reserve the right to buy all IP from anything you work on while employed here for $1".

I got it removed before joining but looking back it was one of the most toxic placed I'd ever worked and this was just one of a number of red flags.
