Do you have any tutorials for this? I'm an embedded newbie and all the things I've seen required more knowledge than I have to either get to hello world or move an iota past it.
In Germany you have basically two education/preparation for work life tracks after secondary school ends. One is the very intellectual heavy university education.

The other is a dual education system of apprenticeship for Craftsman/manual work. For three years You go to school two to three days a week and work at a real craft business. That way you get the theory and it's practical application. After your exam you are a certified handy man in your profession with the relevant skills to work professionally. This solves the mentioned ambiguity of real work.

University education was associated with staying in higher education or R&D. But the creation of vast PhD programs had created a wave of PhD that cannot be absorbed by the University and research institutions. So it bleeds into "normal" work life.

The software profession would benefit from a dual apprenticeship system. But company's are not willing to take on the responsibility and train their talent that way. At least not in Germany.
>By not having an Alexa.

So, your idea is force people not to buy Alexa? You want a law that bans Alexa from the market? Good luck.

Here's a novel idea. Don't buy it. You don't get to decide for other people.

>Don't like your tone, won't really engage further.

What you don't like is that I called you out on your bs.

Nuclear is also pretty bad at 24/7 power. It produces steady power, but what we really need is dispatchable power, to match the peaks and valleys in demand.

The intermittency of renewables can be solved with batteries or other storage. We only need about 3 hours of batteries, a little bit of overbuilding and a good grid to handle its intermittency.
Yes, but only if I know I'm close to the tab I need. I may open 10 or so Google results in a set of tabs, for instance, and switch between them using the strip.
I switched to office 365, which is a predictable answer, but for cloud storage I can recommend sync.com - the free tier is very generous.
Yes. I work remotely since 2016. I changed the country (Russia -> Philippines), but then had to return because the SMS codes that my bank uses for 2FA suddenly stopped arriving.
> I wish there were a good solution

The answer is right there in the article: Use the browser's password manager.

I find Firefox's password manager + Sync a good solution, and I don't understand why people don't advocate it more. It's free and open source. Mozilla is a reputable software house with a good security team. Their revenue stream does not depend on you paying for the password manager. It doesn't even depends on monetizing your personal information.

Yesterday I found it even works as a password store for all of iOS.

You mean GW? I'm confused
I was referring to the most common Western-familiar forms of yoga. I'm not sure what "channels" would refer to materially - I'm of the opinion that effective techniques were discovered by trial and error and then religious explanations were applied to them, but there's nothing supernatural going on.
Requiring the engineer to actually use the product they are working on in real life is good. Maybe it can help make the experience better for the dashers, the restaurants, and the company.

That $400,000/yr engineer makes more money in a day than a DoorDash worker makes in 2 weeks working full time. I do not feel any sympathy for the 1 dash they will have to make a month.
From the wiki article:

> Of more than 3,000 scientific studies that were found in a comprehensive search of 17 relevant databases, only about 4% had randomised controlled trials (RCTs), which are designed to exclude the placebo effect.

So 4% accounted for placebo. How many accounted for the "taking a break is healthy" effect? You need to show that it is different than just taking a break! Any evidence of this?

I'd like to see the USPS expanded to become a public / municipal ISP of sorts.

If you read about the history of the institution, this is really what was intended in its constitutional incorporation. It really wasn't about physical mail per se, and you can't hold the founders accountable to something that was outside the realm of imagination at the time.

There's all sorts of information-structural things that are in the bounds of the USPS per the intent of its creation.
Yes. The standard "1+3" funding programme covers a 1 year MRes or other masters degree with methods training in advance of the PhD programme starting. I got mine separately, so just had "+3" funding. Like in the US, a PhD without funding is normally a bad idea.

Edit: It generally remains shorter than a US programme, though. We tell ourselves that our focused BA/BSc programmes provide a better foundation than the broader US undergraduate degrees, but I suspect the truth is just that it's cultural differences.
My outlook is European. In the US the political career is indeed longer, because there are effectively more levels (EU Parliament and Commission are still largely considered a step down from national-level politics, silly as it might sound). But the selectiveness (only two senators per state, often lasting decades) makes it similarly treacherous at the mid-level.

> They exist (if you define "young" as under 40)

In political terms, at the (European) national level, "young" is typically under 50, and "old" is over 70. Acquiring reputation and solid power base takes time.

Looking at the UK: Tony Blair was considered very young when he became PM at 44; Thatcher was 53, Major 57, Brown 56, and most of their predecessors were much older. Cameron was 43 but again May was 59 and Johnson 55. Backbenchers will typically enter Parliament around 35-40.

In Italy you can basically add 10 to all those numbers; the current PM (or PdCM, for the purists) is 73.
I just gave up using a custom domain - do you really need it? Sure it was cool 10 years ago but no one really cares any more, but the main reason I gave up because I was worried someone would hijack the domain to take my 2fa emails. One less thing to worry about.
There's nothing wrong with that, unless you’re a public company.
If the company is public then shareholders and activist investors will push management to increase the value of the company (by whatever means, reduced costs, increased returns, new products, etc). If management fails to respond then they'll get forced out.
Oh yeah Excel (or libreoffice) is really awful to use in another language, I often have to force it to English because of the formula mess. But I guess that's a developer-who-can-speak English point of view.
I can't rightly say that I am able to navigate the maze of standards and acronyms associated with smart cards, but the OpenSC tools on Linux have worked for me with a couple different smart cards (Nitrokey HSM and Taglio PIVKey). There are quirks. The Taglio PIVKey can't load certificates using OpenSC, but I've always generated the certificates on the device anyway.
I sense this is another anti-automobile / car-hostile writer who tries to throw as much at the reader as they can and hopes something will stick. Ostensibly, the piece is about how larger cars are more dangerous because of reduced visibility. On its own, that argument is worth considering. However the author brings in a myriad of tenuous and character smearing implications.

It didn't take long for the author to veer into a 'people who buy big cars are actually bigots' angle:

>"The consequences of the bigger-is-better fad are felt unequally. Black and Indigenous people are disproportionately hit and killed while walking, as are older Americans, people with disabilities, and people who live in low-income neighborhoods. The low social status of these victims—especially compared with that of wealthier new-car buyers—may help explain why we’ve been willing to ignore auto-industry excesses."

She also leans into the implication that people who drive big vehicles are lizard-brain brutes: "Without any intervention from regulators, the attempt to appeal to the “reptilian” impulse has only grown." Or, toxic masculinity: "the hyperaggressive macho-truck trend has been enormously profitable for the auto industry".
The chrome handles and toggle are satisfying. When Apple released the iMac in 1998, every other PC on the market was a beige box. Here we are 24 years later. Every other PC is a black box. Great job synth guys.
These engineers are paid incredibly well. If they can't handle spending 30 minutes once a month taking a delivery, then they can work somewhere else.
There are even to this day quite a lot of houses in Russia with this exact setup. My grandparents old house had an oven stove and radiators. They replaced the oven stove with an electric boiler sometime in 2000s but kept the radiators.
One of the issues I have in the whole software industry is the lack of empathy for regular folks and a lack understanding of how hard the average person has to bust their ass just to make it in life with just the basics. I personally believe it leads to products that are often disconnected completely from the people who actually use them and damaging to our social fabric.

I applaud DoorDash for this move and quite frankly this would make me more likely to take a job there.

There is a stigma with having "head problems". I think it is more useful to fight with that stigma than to ignore existence of problems like depression or psychosomatic disorders.
Unverifiable theory, but I think when the news was just the few media companies who ran TV and newspapers, selling a narrative was easy. Look how easily we got tricked into going into Iraq and staying in Afghanistan for 20 years. Now that news is more distributed (as originally intended) by independent journalist on things like YouTube and substack. Not only do these independent journalistic outlets exist, they are more popular than traditional news (TV/print), making various propaganda efforts much more difficult to stick. This is one of several strategies to regain control of that propaganda channel.
From TFA:

> Maybe the only positive thing that can be said about Erikson’s theory is that it might help some people realise that not everyone thinks the same way they do. Psychologists call this “theory of mind”, an ability to change perspective, which usually develops in early childhood. In other words, Erikson’s book might help someone with the empathetic and intellectual level of a five-year-old.

Which sounds about right to me (though I find the last sentence to be a bit overly dismissive).

On top of that, TFA has many good points about the damage that can be done when this system is imposed from above and used to explain away problems. Imagine if there was a shitshow at work, and the post-mortem determined that it was because the tech lead was a Capriocorn and the engineering lead was an Aries.

I've never cared for those theoretical models, I prefer using empirical models when it comes to humans.
Yes I think I used vpnc for Sheffield a few years ago.

If, like Sheffield, they also require Duo, it is possible to use that without a phone or hardware token by extracting the HOTP secret from a real or fake phone/tablet registration. It's probably also possible to use that automatically with a free VPN client, like for ssh, but I've never bothered to try making it work.

> can’t ramp up

6% is already a large fraction of grid demand and that’s an average. It’s critical for finding anything that’s even vaguely accurate.

“Why no take the top down” because we want to minimize costs. It doesn’t matter how much over production happens vs how much energy storage happens, what matters is how much each costs.

If you really want to do a high level analysis you need to cover a wide range of major inputs. Hydro flexibility and the costs to increase that flexibility, as in how much can it ramp up and how much can it average over a year. Next is the actual cost of Wind in each location for various turbines and the time of day for production this varies quite a bit and becomes a massive optimization problem. Next is solar production at each location as well as how panels are aimed in various wealthier conditions, again a major optimization problem. Next actual energy output vs demand, Aka actually modeling what happens to both for various weather events. Next is cost of grid storage capacity, as in how much capital needs to sit around. Next is how much to utilize grid storage as in a charge vs discharge cycle, the first vs second are different for each technology and a mix of several is likely. Next grid interconnect costs as in how much does flexibility cost both in dollars and resistive losses. Next optimized Solar and wind capacity vs grid demand as in at each set of seasonal and weather conditions to minimize costs. Finally changes to costs over time or based on deployment.

It’s possible to model all of that, but in turns out that’s what markets do. The bottom up approach isn’t wishful thinking it’s what actually happens as people build A due to A being profitable up to point X when building B is more profitable etc etc.
Thank you, INTPenis, for your insight.
Zero sum games may not be completely avoidable, but that absolutely doesn't meam that the amount of economic activity wasted on zero sum games can't be reduced.

For example, I think the amount of money spent on nuclear weapons programs globally could be reuced significantly with no harm to the world.
I remember one comment here in HN that mentioned how in the future society will be divided in those above and bellow the API. About the difference in quality of life of those that make the platform, and those that work for it, like the gig workers. It made me angry because was too cold, but in line with reality.

I really hope this type of strategies help in this regard. For the people developing those platforms, to remember that in the end those who work for those Apps are humans too, and not only a number in an A/B test or KPI spreadsheet.
I notice that none of the comment think about scenario where the engineer doesn't know how to drive or doesn't own a car
Thanks for your reply and time.

I noticed UnifiedPush and your efforts there and I am curious. My summary after a brief glance is UnifiedPush will not achieve anything useful, for the same reasons: iOS and Android push notifications are locked down. For example, sure, Android is OSS, but most of the functionality is provided by proprietary apps or Google Play Services. This results is challenges today, but further challenges down the road (App Store rules/policies change, stronger enforcement).

About the battery usage, this is always a hard question to answer. 4% is very low, which seems good. But how could you measure that effectively? Perhaps if the connection is good, it might take 4% battery over 17h of "use". But could this be worse if network is intermittent (i.e. realistic conditions)? Or lots of data being used (or *abused*).
This was the idea behind the USPS originally, if you read records about it's founding. It wasn't intended to be about physical mail, but about "transmission of information" or something like that. It's actually kind of striking.
> I’ll be teaching my child possessions mean wealth

That's what my mom taught me.

I didn't turn out the way my mom would have wanted. In my case, I realized that maximizing material wealth did not make me happy.
I liked this a lot, but wanted to make a correction.

> Since Gödel, science even proved itself as incomplete. The best doctors will always say that if something makes you feel better, by all means do it, even if it is not backed by science.

Gödel proved mathematics to be inconsistent. This has much greater implications than just proving scientific inquiry to be insufficient. Science relies on the senses for its reliability and is grounded in the physical world. Mathematics has no such bounds.

Given a "complete" formal (scientific!) understanding of the physical world, we still wouldn't know everything, there will always be systems that intersect with it that inform our world, but can't be understood using our rules. No matter how many formal systems we define to wrap our collective brain around the world, there will always be more things to understand.

That's the significance of Gödel.
> system as inherently Darwinian as capitalism

What we have now is not capitalism. Capitalism requires hard money as a foundation. An inflationary currency whose supply compounds exponentially over time and which people are forced to use is not hard money.

Bullshit jobs are made possible by inflationary money printing. The current crony-capitalist system is only 'Darwinian' for those who are far from the money printers. That's why bullshit office jobs exist mostly in big cities; in close proximity to the largest inflows of newly issued 'capital' into the economy. For those who are close to the inflows of new money, it's a rigged, easy game. No talent involved. It's a game of first in, best dressed. They could throw money out the window and it would come flying back in. In the periphery, the story is completely different. Look up Cantillon effect.

It's easy to devise a scheme whereby you keep borrowing money from a bank to inflate the value of some intangible asset and then use that asset's growing 'value' as collateral against which you can keep borrowing more money and keep inflating that asset's 'value' ad-infinitum. You just keep taking out new, increasingly large loans to make repayments on the old loans. Just like the government does. At any point in time, this zero-sum scheme will always look profitable; you can keep it going so long as the banks allow. Banks will allow it of course, because the collateral 'value' keeps growing. It's only when people start talking about huge numbers like 'quadrillions', 'quintillions' and 'sextillions' that people will start to think something's not right. The game is all about who can feed the banks' own money back to them with as little resistance as possible.

A major reason why Bitcoin is so valuable is that it provides banks with an endless supply of bodies to take out more and increasingly large loans and feed it back to the banks with interest. Bitcoin's growth in value consistently outpaces the growth in interest on loans used to buy that Bitcoin.

Then you don't understand cultural diversity in the US. There are regional differences like india for example but each city or region in the US tends to self-segregate, some more than others but just about every country has a significant immigrant community in the US which are comparable to smaller ethnic groups in other countries. You may have been thinking there is just racial culture (white, black,etc...) but that is inaccurate. To name a few Irish in boston, italian in nyc, cuban in miami, african american in harlem va NC vs Missisipi, mexican in texas vs california, so many more. The US has the diversity similar but not the how that diversity is defined as with india or brazil.
Yes. Grid scale batteries and solar have plunged precipitously in price. While solar has bottomed out, batteries look to fall still further.

Nuclear hasnt. It currently requires pretty lavish subsidies to be built on top of the ones they already had.

(this is not true in the UK, but in the UK hornsea's lower intermittency + batteries will likely beat out hinkley point C on cost even though solar + batteries probably couldnt with the UK's weather)

You're the one claiming they're the same - where's your evidence that napping causes the effects identified as caused by meditation?

If you want to believe meditation is the same as napping, you're free to do so. As somebody with a great deal of experience in both meditation and napping, my experience is that they're completely different - meditation is not just quietly relaxing, in fact it can be extremely difficult.
>Before we define personality, it is useful to explain what it isn’t. Consider a friend who does something bad and then says, “I did it because my personality led me to do it”. In making this argument, our friend is essentially claiming that their personality is like a Gremlin in their head who steers their behaviour, telling them what to do. In reality, of course, the Gremlin doesn’t exist and we don’t usually accept this argument as an excuse for bad behaviour.
Instead of invoking Gremlins, the most reasonable and widely accepted definition of personality is behaviour of an individual which is relatively constant over time and doesn’t depend on context (Perugni et al, 2016). Personality isn’t a thing, like a Gremlin, it is simply a pattern of repeatable behaviour. Using this definition, the Gremlin argument becomes circular: if someone claims that their personality made them do something, we can simply counter, “Well, yes, that is the definition of personality. All you are telling me is that you behaved in the way you did because you behaved the way you did.”
The invocation of a personality Gremlin is one example of careless thinking.

This "explanation" or "argument" is worse empirically and theoritically than what it criticizes...
