Thanks for your comment and feedback on the marketplace. Right now, the AlterClass marketplace is more a way for people to launch their courses quickly without worrying about setting up their own platform and hosting the content. I won't compare myself to any app marketplace (like Apple or Google) as it is not my end goal. I want to give the instructors full control of their courses and give them the freedom to access beyond AlterClass. I'm still working on this, so stay tuned ;)
I have not. I'll add that to my test matrix. I don't care who provides the compute(Intel/AMD/ARM). I care about QoL and QoS for customers, costs for delivery for us.

If switching to ARM means general parity on per core performance, I can easily sell rolling a portion of that savings into a bigger baseline config for all customers. Especially on Oracle, where their charges for RAM on A1 are peanuts.
To be fair on desktop the i5-X400F has been excellent value for the last 2-3 generations.
I sometimes think if an article like this got done with actual images of people while claiming it was CG, there would still be a lot of, "I could tell immediately it was CG". "It is so terrible", and "The faces look so bad" etc.
The way the image is colored on the client is just some CSS (mix-blend-mode). Check it in the inspector.
M1 brings large customer base paying for stuff. Raspberry Pi doesn't have that big of a $$$ splash.
Well, I guess you can still run Emacs on top of Guix :)

I'm being tongue-in-cheek, but Emacs could be considered a graphics toolkit in its own right.
You're saying it's not true, but do you have another example of a quick and cheap way to do this ?

I'm not saying this can be done in 1 day for 2 cents, I'm saying that it's quick and cheap compared to other options.

> adapt your application to be multi region aware

This vs adapting your application to support multi cloud deployments or go from the cloud to start doing on prem with a dedicated team, you can take your bets.

On aws you can setup route 53 to point to multiple regions based on health check or latency.

dude, I had to google this :D
I subscribe to the London Review of Books. The writing is of the highest quality and the range of topics covered is wonderfully diverse.
I share your opinion, But I would also like to mention that those "worse is good" applications are limited to certain niche.

I prefer vanilla HTML, CSS and minimal or no JS websites and my audience to a large part don't mind either and as long as I keep building to such niche audience then it's fine.

But if I try to compete in a market where the audience expect shiny layouts, fresh animations and don't mind waiting a minute for those to load; with a late 90s-esque website then I will certainly fail.
Thanks to HN, I checked it out on my PS5 tonight. Very impressive. The thing that immediately jumped out at me was the 24fps target. The demo has a cinematic feeling, and thus the 24fps framerate feels “correct.” Compared to 60fps, you can do a lot more when you have 2.5x as much time per frame.

The first part is a CGI representation of Keanu and Carrie-Anne. I was shocked at the quality; it had “the demoscene feel,” if you know what I mean - “I did not know the hardware could do that.” Artists going full OCD, just because it was the right thing to do. Great work.

Parts of it had that CGI feeling, but most of the first two minutes, I swear I was watching video and not CG.

Part 2: the city tour. I am not sure if there’s a detailed YouTube video of same, but the artists used some clever tricks, as any good 3D artist would. You can fly around and peer into offices and apartments through their windows. There are a limited number of static rooms, and they use frosted glass to blur the details. Interiors are fully modeled and there is parallax through the glass. HVAC units on rooftops are robust, down to the warning messages. Great use of LOD.

I saw Z-fighting and LOD “popping” when surveying the city from on high.

I walked away from this (um, got up from the sofa) thinking Epic’s gambit is to push Unreal Engine 5 as a virtual movie set.

They went all out on the character models in the first part, with Keanu and Carrie-Anne. There were a few uncanny valley shots (“dead eyes”) but very impressive overall. Some of the shots could be taken as a reference, or gold standard.

Even more impressive is that it’s running on a (loss leader) $600 Sony PS5.
Agree. People buy bestsellers because they are bestsellers. It's self fulfilling.

> Compiled ones need more effort

I think Go needs a flag specified at compile time to work on ARM. Instead of `go build`, run `env GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 go build`.

Rust is similar, except it requires the appropriate toolchain to be installed first (1-liner).

It’s probably less effort what I’ve described because there are GitHub Actions that will generate appropriate binaries out of the box.
This started long before Pi. StrongARM existed 20 years ago and the new generation of application processors which pushed forward ARM started around 2005 (Atmel, TI, Freescale, Qualcomm and others) with the ARM9 core.

Pi entered a mature ecosystem, it just made it a bit more consumer/newbie facing but the system level foundations were all there.

Ironically the Pi isn’t even particularly well supported in terms of drivers compared to commercial offerings.
Some underrated skills if you’re a programmer:

- regular expressions (PCRE even)

- git

- bash and posix sh + basic Linux building blocks (find/xargs, sed, grep, awk, …)

Lots of people don’t ever take the time to learn these formally instead of struggling to use them sporadically. Take the time to learn your tools properly, it makes a huge difference.

3 more that are extremely useful:

- SQL

- CSS

- Makefiles
I'd buy a .volcanopower

MRCA: Take every current person's family tree, who is the most recent person who is in all of them? This doesn't mean there was only one ancestor around at the time, though if all life came from the same cell that is of course true if you go back that far.

IAP: For any given time X, every person at time X is either an ancestor of all current people, or none. Take everyone's family tree, and since it can't be size 2^x generations back, the overlaps eventually mean that all those people at time X who have a current descendent actually have everyone alive currently as their descendant, and everyone else at time X is the ancestor of nobody currently alive.

That actually wasn’t the argument being made. Which I think is why you keep validating my point. You can reread what I wrote to verify.

My 2c is that it makes a lot of sense to have a single unnamed instance of a typeclass, and have that follow the orphan rules, but to allow other _named_ ones that don't follow those rules. Then, add syntax (possibly reuse TypeApplications' @ prefix?) to explicitly specify a typeclass when referencing a name. Possibly also have some lexically-scoped construct to make the instance that instance search will find be a particular named instance too?
How were your electric bills?
I think you're misunderstanding the second amendment and self-defense. The second amendment doesn't enumerate the right to self-defense. Self-defense is an affirmative defense to a criminal charge (in this instance) which is within the purview of the states and not the federal government due to the tenth amendment.

Heller held that the second amendment protected an individuals right to keep and bear arms for traditionally lawful purposes, which was later incorporated into the states in McDonald. One traditionally lawful purpose is self-defense, but the states get to define self-defense; of which there are already many differences between the states. I suppose the right of self-defense could be found in the fourteenth amendment - it certainly has a legal history going back thousands of years. Even so, it would be distinct from the second amendment. Think of it more like emergent behavior stemming from interactions in our dual sovereignty system of government.

All that to say that no, I don't believe this would factor into any analysis when it comes to second amendment regulation cases. The second amendment would protect against regulating these less lethal weapons if Caetano is any indication though.
Thank you, interesting read, haven’t heard of it before.

Though I feel it would be dishonest to “blame it” on inheritance over on concurrency itself, when we don’t have any good solution to general concurrency as far as I know. We can only deal with it reasonably well by heavily restricting the domain-space to begin with (eg. immutables, no globals/sharing).
It’s probably the flip side to allowing late no-fee cancellations.

If it’s easy to book then not turn up, people will. Then if you know a significant percentage on average doesn’t turn up, it would be lost profit to not overbook.

Fully paid non-refundable services should, I agree, very conservative in overbooking.

Thanks you for taking the time to try AlterClass using the free trial. I really appreciate it.

Q1. I see the Code playground block as a mini code-editor that would give you the ability to run coding challenges your students will have to complete, much like what you find on Codecamedy for instance. Also, I'd like this code playground to support languages CodeSandbox doesn't, such as Python. Plus, in comparison to CodeSandbox, this block will feel more integrated to your course as it will be native to the AlterClass platform and not just an iframe embed into your lessons. Feel free to suggest any idea you have for this block :)

Q2. I thought about it and my goal is to add more blocks over time to give you as much freedom as possible in creating your lessons. I support YouTube videos as it is the most popular, but Vimeo is something I could easily add. I've added it to the backlog. Stay tuned ;)

Couldn't you argue the person you would be pruning is a person that is most likely to appreciate you just as you are?

It seems reasonable to argue that if they are indeed in your social graph and they give you that advice, perhaps they like you for who you are and thus the advice at least from their perspective is good.
TL;DR
The whole idea completely depends on the LED on the target computer is driven directly by a GPIO pin of a CPU you can hack and reverse the direction of the GPIO pin to somehow be an input rather than output. Also, that said LED is driven directly by the GPIO pin and not via a driver transistor.

The idea of turning an LED on and off really fast to send a message out is not new, that has been done a long time ago. Here they are suggesting that an LED can be driven as a light sensor with a high enough power laser, which can then induce a high enough voltage on the LED to reach the trigger voltage of the GPIO.

It all sounds interesting, but there are a lot of ifs there. I guess it can work in very specific cases where you had access to the low level firmware of a MCU and that the LED was driven by a GPIO pin that can be re-programmed to be an input pin and the LED is connected to it by at most a resistor.

The other if is that you would need to be able to hit it with a laser so that means someone would have to leave the device visible through a window or something, which seems sort of unlikely since the idea of air gap is to avoid any contact with the outside world. But I guess the lesson here is if you are air gapping something don't put it near a window. But that is sort of common sense anyhow.

Earlier there were a million paper cuts on ARM that couldn’t be solved by any single developer. So the friction to trying out ARM was high unless your use case already worked well. When millions of developers switched to M1 in the last year, most of these paper cuts were fixed. Almost everything just works now.

So the conversation went from “what’s the cost of getting our systems running on ARM and how does that compare to cloud pricing” to “our systems work everywhere, so who’s giving us the best deal”
But there's not only Github. They can just use Gitlab or if that does not work Codeberg. Somehow the whole industry really seems to be content with bootlicking any of the Big Five.

My graduation project was porting my supervisor thesis of a particle engine originally developed on a NeXT Cube in Objective-C/OpenGL into Windows/MFC/OpenGL, because it was clear it was going nowhere (OS X wasn't yet announced).

So I actually lived through those events, and also think most modern environments fail short of what desktop computing could have been, and in a twisted way Windows is the closest of them all with COM and .NET, yet the whole WinDev vs DevDiv politics messed even that one, most likely beyond repair in the presence of current UI stack chaos.
Do you have tips on how to improve or even learn #12?
Why was this news item flagged? It's about a tech company.

Anyway if this is true it's not surprising a company (capitalist) is now pushing out a Marxist organisation. Some people talk about needing to separate BLM, the slogan, from the organisation and people behind it... But I could never achieve that, especially from the perspective of the UK where "defund the police" made zero sense and would be a terrible idea. (Yes I know everyone has a different idea about what "defund" means here... Which is a problem in itself).
The most recent development (updated a month ago) is 'NEXTSPACE' which is designed to sit on top of a minimal CentOS 7 install.

See: github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace

I have used it in a VM under Windows and it was pretty nice.

It felt very NeXT-ish.

Of course you could install and run regular X windows programs as well.
Just because it exists doesn’t mean it has to be used beyond its intended domain. One is entirely free to create flat “hierarchies” in Java. But I agree that in hindsight, final classes as a default would be better.

Fortunately nowadays, records and sealed classes remedy this for the most part in java.

I have a similar story. Once I rented a car from a budget but fairly popular local rental company. They were cheap because rather than renting from the airport, you had to take a 15 minute bus ride to a business park.

When returning, I arrive 5 mins before closing (traffic) to find the entire business park locked up. My phone is dead as the drive took much longer than expected so I couldn't call their head office or anything. While waiting outside thinking what to do, the gates opened and a car came out. I tried to signal them down to ask for them to hold open the gate for me but they just drove off when I got close, so I got back in the car and quickly drove back in as the gate was closing and very nearly scratched the side of the car on the closing gate.

Inside, the business park was completely deserted so I just parked the car beside the rental company's portakabin and posted the keys through their letterbox.

I walked back to the gate and realised there didn't seem to be any kind of button to exit the business park without a key or fob, so I was stuck. I wait about 45 minutes to see if anyone turns up, while looking for some kind of pedestrian exit, but find nothing. Without a phone, I realise the only way I'm getting out tonight is to climb onto the roof of one of the portakabins and try to climb out using one of the overhanging trees. Somehow I manage this without injuring myself too badly.

Obviously no rental company means no shuttle bus, and no phone means no cab, so I just had to trek the several miles back to the airport, using the light pollution for direction.

Next day I get a return receipt emailed through from the rental company, so it all worked out in the end.

Advent Calendars for Web Designers and Developers (December 2021 Edition)
> This is why technology is brilliant. It allows us to do much much more with the same resources. We should want more technological innovation.

But that's not what happens in practice. There is this paradox, the name of which I forget, which says that the more efficiently we use a resource, the more we is it in absolute terms. We never really freed up any leisure time when we introduced household appliances or when productivity went up. Cars became both more fuel-efficient but also heavier, so we burn more fuel. Smartphones have gotten really good at managing power, making them a viable choice for plenty of activities throughout the day, thus increasing their total energy consumption.

Personally, I just don't believe more efficient tech will help reduce our power consumption. It will require either a completely different tech that doesn't require electricity or fuel to run, or a change in societal habits.
"No one wants to cancel Schubert... but"

And it goes on from there. With zero understanding of historical context, remarks like "profoundly unfunny" because the jokes are too offensive. Ugh.

There was a claim that because this was a protest it was OK to use code to flood a website with applications.

For anyone who has paid attention to CFAA if you have a computer used in interstate commerce and someone knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer, then whamo, down you go.

This code that has been written to disrupt the operations of this business (Kellog) if it does disrupt their operations and they complain, the person knowingly transmitting it is at risk.

Again, calling something a protest is not a free pass.
Thanks a lot for your message. I'm glad it inspires you. Regarding your suggestion, I may release a course on how to build a SaaS platform using modern dev technologies.

> Apple has moved to arm but does this really make it easier to write cloud apps for arm linux? What is Apple doing to make this easier?

They’re making ARM machines with really great perfs and used by a pretty large amounts of developers leading to:

* way more developers getting comfortable and natural access to ARM devices, meaning way easier for them to test & debug ARM issues

* way larger market for ARM developer tools
LOL. Tubing must get scummy
> What do you mean by 'worse is good'?

I meant this phrase as in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worse_is_better.

Generally, we now have awesome levels of abstraction available for developers (and counting, for example see CSS Logical Properties). On the other hand, for simple solutions, less abstraction is the way to go. Luckily, there is still inline style for that.
