“Police”.

> You're both saying that BLM was founded and organized around the lack of police accountability when killing black people

No, “police” was not part of the founding focus. Events involving police just happened to be the ones that brought the network to mass attention, after it was founded in response to a non-police (even if some might see it as “police adjacent”) killing with a focus that was not in any way focussed on whether those responsible but not held accountable were police, or “police adjacent”.
Yeah, I don't think it's mentioned in the paper however in the New Scientist podcast it was alluded to by the lead author that there is currently work being done to compare. I'd reason that they are looking at wall clock time since ML systems can train in no time if done in a batch-accelerated process.

No. The problem with the US is that private schools exist. Once you separate kids in to private and public there is no will to improve public schooling.
I concur, and add my 2 cents on why "Use FreeRTOS and ship the product" actually works in the real world (i.e. paid job), from the perspective of a part-time firmware engineer. Obviously none of this applies if you are just having fun building your side project.

1. Unless your product is mass-produced, as long as your $work has >= 2 projects, having them share a over-spec'd MCU family (i.e. way more pins, MHz, SRAM, ... than you could imagine yourself needing), or even a single part, is very desirable. The BOM is much simpler, and given the current chip shortage situation, you don't have to track incompatible chip families. All the infra work, internal codebases, know-how, even quirks and their workarounds can be shared in-house.

2. The vendor most likely has some BSP (board support package) written in C with examples in C as well, and it most likely will support / assume / integrate with FreeRTOS. Neither of these will be optimized to the bones --- usually the situation is quite on the contrary, with O(n) loops liberally littered around. However, since you picked a overkill MCU, it will more likely than not gladly chug along, given you don't abuse them. When you FFI / shim / start from scratch with registers, usually the happy path does work after some hacking, but when it doesn't work, do you have confidence it's a HW issue, or is it rather your added indirection? With Embedded Rust's prevalent macro-heavy approach, this can be a real time sink.

3. Firmware engineering really works closer to hardware than you'd think. To avoid a catch-22 situation in the co-design, already knowing a lot about what embedded platform breaks the loop and effectively decouples HW and SW, reducing your time-to-market.

BSD fits the modern open source definition.

Martin's article pleads with readers not to be pedantic when using the term, but offers no alternative definition, beyond 'let people use it when they can read source code'. Perhaps that's the proposed usage you and Martin prefer?

If I'm understanding your position correctly, perhaps you would agree that Ocarina of Time has now been released as open source?

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/11/reverse-engineering-t...

If so, the term is uselessly vague, as it says nothing about the rights of the licensee. In this sense, 'Free Software' has much more meaning...perhaps RMS was onto something!
I’m not sure this is what you meant, but onto a tangent:

I feel like us humans have deeply romanticized dinosaurs as these incredibly dangerous, vicious, aggressive creatures. And I’m just not sure there’s any evidence to support that.

If we unearthed bear skeletons a million years from now, we’d think that humans couldn’t cohabitate with bears. Such size. Those teeth. The claws! But bears generally steer clear of humans. Perhaps dinosaurs would too.

Of course I barely know what I’m talking about. But it has me quite curious.
Why is it this way though - it seems to me like you could create a type that just works like the C code

struct Uart {
u8 CR2,
// etc.
}

Instantiate it as 'static with some macro that defines where it lives in memory:

#[mcu::loc(0x1002010)] static UART1 = Uart::new();
#[mcu::loc(0x1003010)] static UART2 = Uart::new();

And then have it bound directly to the memory locations on the MCU at compile time/link time.

Still learning rust, so apologies if this syntax doesn't make sense.
The worst kind of Envious Levelers are the hypocrites. They want to compete in the arenas they believe they can win in, like sports. They only want to stifle competition in areas where they feel lesser and don't want anyone potentially looking better than them.
> C++ and C still play an important role. These languages are typically used by binaries related to audio, video, telephony, web, and other low-level frameworks.

Even so, a C Audio API like AudioGraph was deprecated a few years back and its replacement, AVAudioEngine, is Objective-C/Swift.

The skills that you develop while working with one of these platforms, the familiarity you develop with the libraries, the conventions, the ecosystem, the tools, none of that effort is portable.

It's still conspiratorial. You just happened to choose the right particles to measure? It makes a mockery of the idea of trying to do science at all - the experiments you take are already determined, you can't learn anything about what causes have what effects because you can't ever change a causal variable.
> Does this mean COVID is over?

When I took my first jab, the local clinic handed out a flier explaining in no uncertain terms that:

a) the current batch of vaccines work by giving our immune system a workout to be able to experience a COVID infection as either totally unnoticed or at most a mild case,

b) the current batch of vaccines does not nor did ever guaranteed you won't contract and spread COVID,

c) even with all shots we still need to practice basic higiene and health precautions like wearing a mask, wash hands, and social distance.

We're talking about pre-Delta times. This has been widely known from the start.

How come antivaxxers are the only ones repeating cynical comments on how the initial batch of vaccines, which we all are lucky to have but are still at the level of being better than nothing, would be a silver bullet?
So a self-organizing hierarchy?

My instinct is that wouldn't scale. Self-organizing gets more complicated, and usually more political, inefficient, and disorganized, the greater the distance self-organization spans.

But I don't know any organizations that actually work that way, so have no data.

I do, I am mid level, but I work for a company in the US hiring globally remote. So I earn more than that because I speak English and take the time to find companies that are paying US salaries. But I know a lot of developers that are much better and experienced than me that earn less than that.
My professional development work is primarily done with Visual Studio and C#, but I’ve been working on some projects in my downtime with Swift and SwiftUI. I’ve found them to be pretty delightful in many ways - frustrating in others.

Xcode, of course is a big wildcard. Often times I find myself spending more time just fighting with the IDE than getting any real work done. Maybe I’m just used to Visual Studio, but Xcode has some really baffling design decisions or omissions that never fail to confound me.

SwiftUI is really cool and it’s really simple to string together some pretty UX. I really like its approach to data binding and sharing. It makes it really easy to share models across many different views with minimal fuss. That being said, it still feels immature with its out of the box controls. Just the other day I found myself wanting a simple wrapping horizontal stack control only to find nothing like this was provided out of the box. Layout can also be really frustrating - getting things where I want them is often very fiddly.

Swift itself is also quite nice - although it’s evolving really, really fast and tutorials/howtos and such go stale really quickly. Swift can and will drop language feature at the drop of a hat. Just today I wanted to do a simple C++ style for loop only to find this was removed completely from the language.

I’m also perpetually frustrated by the terseness or incompleteness of Apple’s docs. I would prefer to read docs rather than watch hours of WWDC presentations just to understand how something works but that seems to be the best way to get this information.
Just operating a nuke plant, ignoring capital paydown, already costs more than building out and operating matching solar.

A cancelled nuke plant generates zero watts, forever. And, nuke plant operation costs are only increasing. Reduced water availability increases this cost.

Offshore wind is wholly untapped, in California. Installing solar over crop land reduces water and heat stress, both increasing yield and freeing up water for hydro storage.

Iron-air batteries do not involve smelting (once produced). The iron oxidizes, yielding energy. Their advantage is extremely low cost per stored watt-hour.
Were these law irrevocable? If not, every governor and state legislature since then are also complicit.
Note that it's increasingly common to discuss preprints, like in this case. A preprint is as reliable as a blog post in WordPress, unless you work in the area and know that the author has a solid track record.

Also, most results that reach the front page here are groundbreaking. But groundbreaking results are very rare, so most of them must be fake, because they have an error or because they are an exaggeration.

Most good results are too technical and boring. My favorite example is Magnetoresistance. It's a weird quantum effect that is caused because electrons can have spin up or down. It has a huge effect in the applications and almost everyone had a device that used it. Now the applications are fading. But no one knows it.

There are probably 1000 times more discussions here about faster than light travel than magnetoresistance.
He’s clearly not arguing that, but maybe you’re angry at him because some of his other points hit too close to home for you?

Since I don't love diversity and don't care about that issue I don't bring it up with them often. But it's what I call a revealed preference. Or, to give an amusing example, I said something offensive in one of my posts apparently a few years back, which prompted one outraged reader to leave a long shocked rant about my racism. The comment was trashed, and the reader banned. Nevertheless, I traced their Facebook account. The individual was a young white professional resident in San Francisco. And, their friends list was visible. I did a quick spot check, and estimated that ~90 percent of their San Francisco friends were white. In contrast, about ~50 percent of San Francisco's population is white.

Agreed - this idea is often cited by fans of the book 'Team Topologies'. Its important here to distinguish between the idea of _an_ internal platform team and a _platform engineering_ team. A platform team is any team which provides services to internal clients - one such team would be the one (or ones) supporting whatever platforms-as-a-service are being used to deploy software to production.
GP don't praise Android SDK.
One area that I think Haskell (and some other languages) are good in security terms, is that the functionality present when deployed is pretty much all you're going to get.

What I mean by this is that you're not tempted to use some arbitrary eval() method on untrustworthy input, nor are you likely to be able to just start reading and running code found some place on disk from a binary-installed app.

The main log4j vuln that's caused an uproar wasn't just that it did some sort of dynamic lookup at run-time, but also that it could then take the result, and run it as attacker-controlled bytecode.

Similarly, a web application that uses say, Python or PHP might have an exploitable vulnerability where the user can upload files. That functionality is going to be intentional, but the problem can crop up that the user can control the upload path, and the application can then execute the uploaded file.

Other vulnerabilities can certainly be written in Haskell, but remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities are the sort of jackpot issue that will be much more difficult to pull off there. The same should apply to most languages with a distinct dev-time compilation step, as long as they've got other memory safety controls. (Rust, Go, Ocaml are likely fine as well for instance.)

> For a high value account, a motivated attacker can and will continue at this point. (And if you don't consider your accounts high value, why are you bothering with 2FA?).

Because credential stuffing is highly lucrative, even when no individual account is particularly high value, and is the most common way accounts are compromised on most services. There are other things a _user_ might do to prevent credential stuffing, like using unique passwords, but 2FA has the benefit of actually being visible/verifiable for you as a service provider.
Bokeh effect as described and tested by Mick West, right?
> maybe I'll be able to reliably virtualize any Android app on a Linux phone.

You almost can, check out https://anbox.io/

For what it's worth, I can log into my bank just fine with 2FA using a web browser. The mobile app they provide (for Android at least) is also one of the most consistently low-quality apps I have the displeasure of using on a regular basis. As of the most recent update, it's decided to reliably crash on startup every single time I try to launch it, rendering it useless.

So, the old back-and-forth: if you are keeping a Windows VM around _solely_ to log into that one thing using IE6, you probably don't need it as much as you think you do. Or it would be less cumulative effort to find a workaround so you can dump such a cumbersome access method.
I'd look at UX books. They've got more formal approaches.

Personally? Make a list of all the teams that use your product. Schedule interviews (30 minutes to an hour for initial) with a few that use it the most, and a few that use it less. Ask them what the best and worst parts are. Ask them details about the things they bring up, and prompt about related areas they might be struggling with too.

If you get any repeats from team to team, assume those are systemic issues and try and find a solution.

The hard part usually isn't figuring out the nuances, but rather realizing that someone wants to do something at all and/or can't because of some restriction. Assume you know nothing about how they actually do what they do and listen closely.

I feel it amused that people here are discussing what and how Lithuania and the west can do to 'confront' China, but everyone in east Asia knows that before the next Taiwan election in 2024, China will do something to achieve some sort of reunification, either by forcing the Taiwanese government back to the old One-China promise (which is unlikely because the pro-China KMT lost power long ago) or by toppling the pro-independence DPP government.

And you people are seriously discussing the possibility that Taiwan goes nuclear, but it was in the KMT era after China had the bomb, Taiwan was considering building its own nuclear weapon, only to be quickly removed by the US. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to realize that the US has been selling Taiwan expensive out-of-date weapons, which is only logical if the US doesn't want Taiwan to defend itself. Taiwanese people know that, ever since the 70s when Taiwan was kicked off the UN and the US did nothing!

Do you guys know the real sentiment in Taiwan? They are more like, "F*k the US, they treat us like pawns. F*k the west, they would give us anything but real support! F*k the government, they got us in such a bad position. F*k China, they want to annex us. F*k the 20% Taiwanese, they do business with China, in China, for China!"
The Lancet data suggests the effect is pretty small in terms of transmission. And the fact that countries like Singapore with 95%+ of eligible vaccinated, strict distancing measures still had a ton of cases demonstrates that in the real world.
There is so much to do, indeed. It's not even money, for women it's really, really hard to get their tubes tied. In Germany, it's hard to find a surgeon who does it for women under 30 and with no prior child... Horror stories with surgeons wanting the approval of the husband, or even boyfriend, can be found in most "developed" nation, as of today. Of course, at the same time men can do it no questions asked. So fucked up. I really can't believe women's bodily autonomy is still a major issue in Europe and North America.
> People are losing familiarity with their nations' or languages' own historic literary cultures

It's quite normal for people to lose some marginal quantum of familiarity with their own culture, as they're gaining far deeper familiarity with a wide variety of world cultures. I'm not sure why the OP thinks this is a "bad" thing. It's a trade-off for sure but a rather clear-cut one, and it shouldn't take a tedious "long-form" article to state with far more clarity than OP did!

> Literary translation sometimes gives an illusion of familiarity when readers are still missing out on much (much!) more context than they think.

By the way, this point (which is quite correct, as far as it goes!) nicely overrides the previous bullet point. The past is a foreign country, after all.

> There is an awkwardness in the fact that literary translation into English is more important, prestigious, useful, sought-after, etc., than literary translation to any other language whatsoever.

Does this matter when the awkwardness is mostly just being felt by English speakers themselves? They're also the ones who are benefiting the most! As far as anyone else is concerned, English is just another foreign language and there's no harm if a creative work is also available in English translation.
