You can work around the serial port issue using something like Comm Tunnel:

https://www.serialporttool.com/GK/comm-tunnel/

Open Comm Tunnel and setup for your com port (from device manager) and port 2101

Then in WSL2 use socat to connect:
socat -d -d tcp-connect:172.18.96.1:2101 pty,raw,echo=0

It will output something like:
>socat[18786] N PTY is /dev/pts/2

Then from within WSL2 you know to use '/dev/pts/2' as the COM port for serial and it will connect to the COM port.

It works most of the time for me, but Comm Port seems lag if the throughput gets too much for it to handle.
I feel like this looks more like a project that emphasizes aesthetics rather than practical power generation. It looks great, but it likely would not light up much more than those strings of tiny lights.

Notably, there is not much head (vertical drop), which is what yields the potential energy that drives the turbines. I have a few ponds that have ~3m of head, but even that does not even feel like enough to produce much useful power.
That's just stupid and dangerous.
What you’re actually saying is that you have the benefit of hindsight. That in no way makes you more on an expert than Ken Thompson who also has the benefit of hindsight.

I would guess that literally thousands of people have implemented an equivalent to strcpy with exactly the same issues (and likely more). Reimplemention does not imply a better implementation.

Decades of experience using strcpy is what taught us it’s a bad idea, not reimplementing it a thousand times.

It isn't identical. With a fixed ROM, every user is denied an opportunity to upgrade rather than just those without an anointed OS. It's about equal access.
For me, mostly control. I've been writing my blog in Markdown for ages, but Blogger only natively supports its bad WYSIWYG editor or pasting raw html. I've decided the friction in pipeline is enough that I kinda want to cut it out of the loop.
How so? The point of async/await is to reduce bookkeeping. The Go model is at its core an implementation of M:N user threads, and it creates plenty of complexity wrt. e.g. interfacing with other languages. Which is why M:N threading was mostly abandoned elsewhere.
This is interesting and unexpected:

> hexagonal arrays are as computationally efficient [...] made possible by recent mathematical advances in the representation of hexagonal arrays, in particular Array Set Addressing (ASA) which makes processing of hexagonal array images almost as conceptually easy as processing square array images. Indeed, operations such as computing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) and edge detection are in fact faster per pixel over hexagonal arrays than square ones.
Yes, they have a rationale, but it's a poor one. Followed to its logical conclusion, I can make any program free. All I have to do it put it in ROM. Then I can pretend it is part of the hardware. Software in ROM is not hardware, it's just software that can't be improved or fixed.

The other point they ignore that if some part is programmable but currently requires proprietary firmware, it's possible (and this has happened) that people reverse-engineer it and produce free software that runs on it. BUt if you bought the FSF-blessed version of that device you're then stuck with the proprietary version of that program forever, and worse, you can't get any updates for that program. You can't get a security fix, and you can't replace it with the free program.

>> In general, I think that database migrations are fundamentally flawed. The database schema and the application should have a schema version that they expect, and rules for translating between versions.

I have the same feeling, that could be a very desirable native feature for DB Engine, but no vendor seems to be interested in addressing that.
A "Center" was managed by a third level manager titled "Director" with "Department Heads" and group "Supervisors" reporting to them. An alternative organizational name was the "Laboratory", also managed by a "Director".

Above that were "Divisions" managed by "Executive Directors". Divisions were in "Areas" managed by Vice Presidents, and Vice Presidents reported to Executive Vice Presidents and then to Presidents.

This appears to be a Center which prepared the official design documentation that was sent to the engineer for manufacture at Western Electric who would then work out the manufacturing processes need to produce the equipment for the telephone companies. It appears to have supported the Transmission area and the Customer Premises equipment area.

> Analogously, reimplementing adds value because you learn to make something better or faster or simpler. And you learn how to make it and can now take that knowledge elsewhere and use it in unanticipated ways.

You know, there’s some truth in this. At the same time, there is only truth to the extent that the person reimplementing is actually striving to do better. I would bet that well over 99% of reimplementations are strictly worse than the thing they are mimicking.

I spent a bunch of time implementing a custom windows framework similar to WTL. It was a great learning experience. I would also say that in no way woks it have been useful to anyone for or to appear in an actual product. In most ways it was doubtless inferior to WTL. I used it for toy projects and that’s what it was.

Just read my first post and that should tell you everything that was wrong with your title. Because you insist on your alternative fact that 303 is somehow less than 39, I think propaganda is the right interpretation of the spin you are trying to give this story.

If you'll forgive my naivete here I've been thinking a lot about the FSF philosophy and wanted to ask HN: how big of a project would it be to create a fully libre (whatever you want to call you it) laptop? Like how feasible is it to use "free" components put together into a package and what kind of budget would be required?

I think China has a few companies working on domestic processors. Let's say they are convinced by Stallman's charisma to make chips that are not cutting edge but decent, and libre.

Whatever your thoughts are on China but I would suggest to the FSF to slowly move in that direction. Where all the component schematics are open and viewable. At least to go for auditability since no one trusts the Chinese.

Like I said, forgive the naivete, but it feels like a noble yet lofty goal.

And then proceed to go into every industry with right to repair issues. Deere tractor competitors, home appliances, and so on. In the name of component longevity and repairability. All of this to repudiate forced obsolescence and to promote end user freedoms.

It's a stretch but I enjoy dreaming about it. Hoping a better world is possible.

I completely agree with the cons you outlined, especially your point about "productivity drops when data scientists leave notebooks."

A few years ago, I started working as a data scientist at a big financial firm and reviewed all workflow orchestrator available tools (including Kedro). I didn't like that all of them forced me to re-write my Jupyter code into their frameworks (they're supposed to make me more productive, not less).

True, notebooks have their issues but they can be fixed (I don't buy that "Jupyter is only for prototyping argument"). So, long story short, I started a project with a friend that makes us more productive by fixing the problems that notebooks' problems. https://github.com/ploomber/ploomber

My personal order of preference, having worked from all of them:

1. WFH! (FTW!)

2. Private office (I had one that was super-productive)

3. Cubicle or flexible spread-out area

4. Cafes, lobbies, cafeterias, etc.

5. Dirty park benches, in the cold, with keyboard sticky with tree sap somehow

6. Rigid open plan desks/tables/pods, which usually have people too close or too loud, for my preferences

7. Shared small office

With a flexible spread-out area, individual people can kind of adjust to how and where they want to work at that time (how close to other people, how close to noise/commotion, sunlight&glare, temperature, fresh air, etc.), etc.
Transportation overall is a huge emitter. Transportation of most food is only a very small part of that food’s emissions, from what I understand:

“GHG emissions from transportation make up a very small amount of the emissions from food and what you eat is far more important than where your food traveled from.”

>Take the Moby Dick example... the author says you don't get the return on it until you have paid the 16 hour price of reading it... but isn't those sixteen hours the actual reward? You don't read a book to be finished with it, you read it because you like the reading process. The reward starts the first minute you start reading the book.

Honestly, I'm not sure if you can say that the money spent is truly a "cost" either.

Consumers love buying books (spending money) as much as they love reading books (spending time).

There is definitely a sense of reward in simply buying a book - even one you never read - just as there is for buying clothes you'll never wear or gadgets you'll never use.

In practical terms you get to pick one. You can care about nebulous concepts like the social fabric and have less feces, discarded needles and the like or you can not care and see people moving out of cities like San Francisco because they are going to hell as all the poor people ruin it for the upper classes who still don't care about those people but hate stepping over the mess.

> More so housing prices...

The entire edifice of the global financial system is anchored around real estate valuation (the dirt, not so much the improvements and not so much the price) and the network effects wrung out of it by the infrastructure accreted around it (most often paid by public taxation and the bulk of its monetization privatized), only made possible by the structural support embedded into credit finance, accounting and tax policies granted it as an asset class unique unto all others. There can be temporary price corrections, even deep ones, even lasting as much as a generation or two, but at this point so much is secularly bound to real estate valuation that it is one of the pins on the OR-gated-multi-pin hand grenade of single-planet-forever-growth economics.

Real-estate-the-dirt valuation is like the core tranches and/or core dynamic allocation strategy of one's investment thesis/theses, or the ballast in a ship. Forex dwarfs real estate as both a market and asset class, but policies do not treat forex as favorably over the long-term and in credit structures.

Also, for those who feel hard real estate market data (including visibility into contract terms) is opaque and inscrutably difficult to obtain, you're in for a treat when you get into the forex market (or for that matter, bonds, derivatives, etc.); pricing data is only the tip of the iceberg, and uniform cross-exchange visibility into order books is not seriously available in those markets the last time I investigated trading each of them (would love to be pointed in the right direction if I have my information wrong, though).

Depending upon how one models it, residential housing prices are like a second or third derivative off of the above opinionated, personal take on the key interrelationships with my embedded biases/prejudices/blindsights.

Once the first two tiers of Maslow's hierarchy are secured functionally into perpetuity at a stable "price", if I had to choose between putting wealth into dirt or into technological advancement to improve our mastery over energy (information being a valuable subset of energy), matter, and spacetime (solving distribution problem spaces being a valuable subset of spacetime), I'd choose the latter every time. In my personal opinion (YMMV of course), as a species we've sufficiently implemented the hypothesis that technological advancement is key to ever-improving conditions for the majority, such that it is worth at maybe a plurality subset of the species seeing where that path leads.

On Decoupled Loaders
We still need cars, but we don't need meat. And there are people working on reducing transportation and energy emissions because that is a hard problem. Buying beans instead of meat at the grocery store is not a hard problem, and one any of us can immediately do.

And if you are worried about plant matter and all the land used for it and transportation emissions around it, what do you think the major of animals eat? They are confined to sheds, not green pastures. They eat plants shipped to the farms, and they eat a hell of a lot more than humans do. Eating the animal means we take a fraction of the total calories the animal consumes. It is completely inefficient. More here: https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local

No one denies we evolved eating meat. But that is the pasted. We can do better in the future. "Tradition" is a word worth censoring.

> The liberals do this all the time saying that conservative bills are “anti voter rights” when in reality they just require ID to vote

The problem with voter ID laws is not that they require an ID to vote. It's that they do nothing at all to address the problem of getting IDs into the hands of voters. If those same laws made IDs free, easily accessible, and gave every eligible voter enough time to get their hands on one, there wouldn't by any problem with voter ID laws. Research shows that voter ID laws in today's conditions would prevent a large number of legal voters from being able to vote. The true goal of voter ID laws being proposed right now is voter suppression.

i know there has been a lot of pushback because of the individualist nature of exxon et al's carbon footprint red herring.

but reduction of emissions is a project every single individual, corporation, and government must be part of.

we are are deeply intertwined, all terrestrials, all earth bound. and the anti-individualist shove-off of responsibility onto corporations is going to get us equally nowhere.

The assertion I was responding to was not about the general possibility of using science to test these ideas.
DMR's lab number in that era would have been 1127, the famous Computing Science Research Center, for those of you who remember email addresses on "research" (not research.somecompany.com, just "research"). The actual research branch of Bell Labs was area 11, so lab 1127 was two levels down in the org chart. Area 11 itself was headed by Arno Penzias, famous for (with Bob Wilson) co-discovering the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation after finding they couldn't get the last bits of electrical noise out of their microwave antenna output no matter how often they cleaned the bird poop off of it, so they had to look for other sources. He and Wilson won the 1978 physics Nobel for that.

A bit, yes - Freeganism isn’t to do with animals or animal products (although I imagine there’s a significant crossover), it’s about scavenging and re-using thrown out goods in a bid to reduce consumption.
Only men.
From Wikipedia:
"Freeganism is an ideology of limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources, particularly through recovering wasted goods like food. The word "freegan" is a portmanteau of "free" and "vegan". While vegans avoid buying animal products as an act of protest against animal exploitation, freegans—at least in theory—avoid buying anything as an act of protest against the food system in general."
