> You can't even use non Intel chipsets with Intel CPUs and integrated GPUs are inherently tied to the CPU.

You used to be able to, but Intel cut off the rights to use their chipsets' interconnect. Before that point 'integrated on the chipset' was a valid way to do integrated graphics.
Rather than showing the actual reviews, just lower the color saturation for lower reviewed products. So high reviewed products would pop in a sea of gray scaled items.

Sounds like something out of Black Mirror, but could be interesting.
ESP32 is a custom CPU architecture... But they recently released an ESP32 varient with a RISC-V core. Still don't think it has an MMU though, which linux requires.
I prefer the split screen so I would ascribe "distraction free" to it. It's a matter of taste.
I can tell you as a first responder, it doesn't matter. The "vaccine" is a damn joke. I am F**ing exhausted this morning, and I don't care anymore. We are being run in the ground across the country with people quitting left and right.

Fake vaccine cards are the least of our worries. You heard it here first. The emergency medical system is in deep trouble for way too many reasons to enumerate here.

Anecdote time; I responded to the same 200 person retirement home 3 times last night (Thus the "grumpy" tude). "Mask up" signs everywhere, every employee wearing a mask properly, NO visitors for the past month, etc. AND the place is at least 80% infected with Covid. Every resident is "fully vaccinate with boosters"!

The eldery that live there are pissed, we are pissed and the staff is running on fumes. They were told they were getting a vaccine... their definition of vaccine doesn't include still getting the disease, but just a little less sever (which, incidentally has NOT been the case for a lot of them). That doesn't make sense to them or me if I am being honest.

They are sick, some of them really sick. There isn't much we can do except to give them options... stay home and fight the fever/sickness yourself or go to ER and wait for hours (depending on severity of symptoms). We are waiting for transports to the ER for an hour or more as the wall time at ER's explodes due to staffing shortages across the board.

I don't see a difference between what I saw in April, May and June of 2020 and now, with respect to Covid... with the exception of less people willing to work at ER's and EMS. Call numbers are UP massively as everyone thinks covid is going to kill them instantly. Its like people forgot how to take care of a common cold as was the case when Covid hit initially. Treat the fever, drink fluids the second you start feeling bad... don't wait until you have a 104 temp to start taking care of yourself.

I am so jaded with how bad people are at doing ANYTHING for themselves. I often wonder how people have made it to the age of 60, 75, 80 with the kinds of lifestyles I see out there. SO MANY OBESE PEOPLE. SO MANY. You wonder why you are sick? really?
I think it'd be a pretty good to let in historical stuff on grace - and just start penalizing new content. Google absolutely has the tools to do this the right way and the internet archive could allow most other folks to accomplish the same thing.

Enabling HTTPS is easy on most platforms. Folks that have rolled their own platform or got unlucky and are using a CMS that fell out of favor do tend to get screwed over by this - but I think its fair to de-prioritize content that fails to adhere to good practices. The HTTP vs HTTPS debate in particular can be a real security concern - with tags its more about paying down the tech debt in our browser technology.

You have much better patience than me, or maybe this just isn't my sort of game. I felt like it was just an exercise in memorizing the right sequence of steps, and found the controls to be a bit fiddly and unforgiving. It's undeniably gorgeous and I wanted to like it because I'd read the various Fabien Sanglard articles, I just couldn't :(

I had a few coworkers working on very related areas that I coordinated with, plus we did have some contingency plans so one of us could step into the others place in a pinch. But that was a weakness and things could have been rough if I had been hit by a bus.

An alien code dump is basically how I ended up in the situation. My boss left abruptly and a bunch of work he had been handling himself suddenly fell to me. At first it was really stressful trying to get a handle on everything, but once I got over the hump it was quite nice.
I haven't heard of paying people to get vaccinated so I search for it and one of it worked a little bit even when it was a measly $24, which doesn't it really cover the time it takes.

The code being free does not mean usage is free. Qt’s code is free to look at, but you still need to pay them for certain things. Licenses apply to the code, not what it does.
I think this is the closest bit:

“Kindly reminder, do not use a fake license key or a license key from others, do not share your license key with others. Abuse of the license key may cause negative impact.”

Raspberry Pi Foundation does the "minimum order of 1000" and passes the savings on to you. Try and buy all the individual components of a RPi Zero and see how much it costs. It is way more than $15.

P.S. The RPi Zero does not come with a display and keyboard like the computer in this article does. So, we are talking about two different types of computers.
Ask HN: How many newletters/articles do you read daily on average?
I have 5-10 newsletters. Combined that with top posts on hackernews, I sometimes am not able to catch up. Do you read a lot of articles daily and if yes, do you set aside a time specifically?

Do you read all articles 1 by 1 or in non-linear fashion, skipping unimportant bits.

Google's repeatedly pushed Chrome-specific web “features” as the new way to do everything web. Sometimes they're also implemented in Firefox. Not equivalent, but similar.

My bank has made it (almost) impossible to make payments without a phone, btw. Either you need to receive SMS messages or use their proprietary app. I could receive SMS messages without a phone but I would expect this to be a solution that eventually gives me more trouble than it's worth.

1. Exactly! We built one of the early cloud cost management products before EC2 had cost explorer (it was called RightScale Cloud Analytics) and spent years working on the reactive approach. We're now bringing costs into the dev workflow, in the same way that security tools like Snyk have switched the focus to proactive.

2. Yep, those tools query the cloud APIs for existing resources. Meaning they have to have been launched (and already costing money) to be discovered.
Somehow, inexplicably, some of our governments believed it a good idea to delegate underpaid, overworked individuals at private companies to the role of vaccine police. At best, its virtue signal posturing; ineffectual. The far scarier take: a power like this should principally and traditionally lie with the police, but legislating it so would have the optics of being authoritarian, thus our governments delegate the power to private corporations, further entrenching the cyberpunk corpocapitalistic power dynamic of the real governance of the United States. Such a move (nearly) flies by, even lauded by some, because the population at large still doesn't recognize or respect how much fucking power corporations have in this country.
Precisely that. Repeating all the steps to get up to a certain point, trying something different, failing and having to do them all again until you beat that section. Then you get to the next bit, fail and start over.

It reminds me a little of the final(?) map on Super Mario Odyssey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nyFu1kud-s. It's probably 5x longer than any other map and any time you "die" you have to start from the very beginning. It took me dozens of attempts to beat it, but for some reason I stuck with it. I didn't fancy doing this with Another World sadly :(
I have been using this setup for about three years now and it works very, very well. It's useful for GnuPG (so, encrypted backups), SSH and 2FA for multiple websites. I highly recommend this setup.

I also recommend doing what I did: get two Yubikeys, not one. Do everything twice, that way you have a physical backup/fallback device. You can also choose to leave one permanently stored somewhere and carry another one with you. Encrypt your backups for two public keys, add two 2FA keys to critical sites, etc. It buys you lots of options for relatively little effort.
I do DNS routing in my closed/fixed network. I don't assume NK is that different. You can see the BGP statistics here:

and

https://bgp.he.net/AS131279

Not a lot of BGP happening here if we're trusting the data. It's also worth noting that they're paraphrasing another outlet (Seoul-based NK Pro, a news site that monitors North Korea).

Also:

Based on limited data I think the report could very well be accurate.
Agreed, of all the places you could have sold that information the official channel by FAR pays the worst (Apple in particular being a notoriously terrible company to deal with for security problems but by no means are the only ones) which is a huge problem that people should be making a lot more noise about.

I kind of shudder to think of how many of these bugs have been out there for years and only ever ended up in the hands of governments and shady groups like NSO.
> Wired headphones, circa 2017.

I hope we never go back to those days. That constant struggle with the wires, having to take the phone with you, too short wire for desktop usage, the wire getting in the way when moving/jogging, etc...
The difference is that passports are only required for fairly rare activities (international travel, certain kinds of government interactions), whereas COVID passports are required for a lot of every-day things.

A driving license is a license is a certification that you've proven yourself capable to meet the minimum requirements to operate a potentially dangerous device, and more akin to doctor's license, lawyer license, etc. I don't think it's really the same thing.

My concern isn't really with "government can do $evil_stuff", but more in the general restriction of things.

> said in an interview (paraphrased) "cloth masks are ineffective against the transmissibility of omicron".

That's a reallty dangerous thing to try and paraphrase - what did they actually say? Less effective? Have limited effectiveness? There's no evidence of any effect whatsoever? You have to be precise.
I'm honestly shocked at how primitive the big firms' offerings are. For example, JPMChase's bank account is smart enough to see a payroll deposit and give you a comment modal suggesting that you invest the money with JPM's investment platform (YouInvest/whatever)

Log into the investment platform and you're back in 1993. They literally have no drip-investment style offering. They want to charge you 100bps to "manage" your money, or you get a broken/buggy online broker with barely any functionality.

Why the heck isnt JPMChase buying one of these platforms?!?
I rather think of vaccination as a responsibility toward your fellow citizens, rather than a "choice".

They are not different. I can assure you that we don't run many 911 calls on gym rats, runners, cyclists and hikers... unless they have injured themselves doing said activities. Drunk idiots and Obese people are the overwhelming majority of our calls.
Caveat: This reply got a longer than intended and broadens a bit, but please indulge me because I think you are also onto something I have been scratching my head about for decades now, amidst outrage for questioning tech dogma.

I agree with you to an overwhelming degree. I also had an iPhone 6S until about a year ago and I have to say the upgrade to the iNext Pro was pretty underwhelming in many, if not most ways when objectively evaluated.

I have also had AirPods for however long they have been out and even though I would agree with the rebuttal to your point that many other BT headphones are notably even more glitchy, I also paid about 5 times less for some of them that work almost just as well in most ways and aspects.

There seems to be an odd kind of self-delusion going on where somehow whatever is new, is assumed to not only also be better, but significantly better, when if one just takes a first principles approach to evaluating that proposition, at best you find marginal or incremental improvement of diminishing returns.

The 6S was released over 6 years ago, is it even doubly as good, let alone exponentially more capable? There is a huge hurdle in overcoming the reality that the answer is no.

There is all this lamenting about sustainability and environment this and climate change that, but for some reason, e.g., an old Apple device (picking on them because I believe they are the highest standard bar) cannot perform as well due to simple UI and UX changes?

There is seriously something wrong with the whole matrix and I have not been able to get any kind of satisfactory answer as to why, e.g., an old 1st (or 2nd) gen iPad Air all the sudden cannot perform †h same simple, core tasks it performed exceedingly well when it was new, that being loading safari and less than demanding website like HN.

What has changed in the 9 years since the 1st gen iPad Air came out that all the sudden browsing is now an extremely demanding task on the device? It seems like intentional and fraudulent designed obsolescence. Where are the environmentally concerned drawing attention to this like I am?

Just imagine if your car got updates every year, and then you find that 9 years later all the sudden the same engine has 100 less horsepower and can't get up a moderately sized hill anymore. That's not suspect to anyone else?

Again, I would love for someone to explain how I am wrong, that I cannot expect a product I buy to retain the same performance for the same actions/tasks when nothing else has changed. Does the CPU age and die off?

We should all be demanding that a device must retain its performance in all aspects of the original function. Everything else is fraud. Please for anyone compelled to, refrain from your "you don't know how it works" comments, that is not the case, nor helpful, and rather blind to reality.
The counterfeiting problem on Amazon has been a problem for a while. It all goes back to the commingling inventory issue which allows (and even encourages) counterfeiters to substitute their inferior goods for the real deal -- at the expense of the consumer and the producer, and to the benefit of Amazon and the counterfeiter.

I feel sorry for the author of this book and I wish I had a better idea about how to solve it. I'm not sure there's any other practical mechanism than to make it go viral and create a PR problem for Amazon.
> numerous officials have said something along the lines of vaccines won't protect you against getting Omicron, masks don't really do anything either"

No they haven't. There's a pervasive anti-vax myth that Fauci "admitted" the vaccines don't work. Not true and didn't happen.

The data are very clear that vaccines reduce your chances of getting infected (not just seriously ill or dying, but getting infected in the first place). https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/effective...

Masks are also effective at preventing infection. Even "bad" masks are measurably better than nothing: https://www.pnas.org/content/118/4/e2014564118

Vaccines and masks absolutely work to reduce your chance of getting infected with covid. Further, if you do get breakthrough covid, vaccines greatly reduce the chances you will end up hospitalized or dead.
3.5 mm jack

Nasty. Yes ;)

I'm sorry but it solves these problems and I think most of us have more prominent issues. Bluetooth - and even overpriced Apple products - are usually working well with one connection only. And the headset profile needs to sacrifice quality for voice input. This is to large degrees a question about priority of the user. If you need good or even excellent quality - opt for a good headset and a jack.

Yes. Some issues can be solved with higher priorities by Apple. Or Apple doesn't care because it is good enough. Maybe Apple need an argument for another bad proprietary protocol to make things worse.
I would be happy if I can switch my mouse from Logitech (Bluetooth) between two laptops with coupling them entirely again.
This is important for understanding how gerrymandered a district is.
Not only that but these were older processors which in 2003 and before, it was a SoC in name only. They didn't put 30 to 60 cores on these embedded processors until the mid-2000's.

It also reminds me what Thomas Piketty said prices of things used to be mentioned prominently in novels and all in past. Nowadays it does not happen unless pricing itself is salient part of plot. The reason was being inflation. Once inflation took over, there was no accuracy or authenticity about prices of objects and slowly disappeared from novels/movies etc.

The same thing I can see with dates, with billions of events generated and captured every second , the actual date/time of event can be demoted to level of thousands other attributes captured. So it will be mentioned when date itself is point of article etc.

It's fascinating that Google, the stewards of Android, have refused to solve any of those problems. The most successful operating system in history is managed by a company who refuses to solve its deficiencies.

The data infrastructure for this is Huma-Num [1][2], a project for humanities research institutions in France as part of a European network of similar initiatives. It's got an open data aspect to it but I'm not familiar with the endpoints.

As far as internationalization goes, frankly I couldn't care less. Call me a brute, but I don't see why we French taxpayers should bankroll research in English. It's certainly impossible to be a decent Medievalist if all you know is modern English, albeit this project also involves technical disciplines like imagery, acoustics etc.

It looks like too big a specification, more like a wish. We could equally well write that the result must be a solution to the traveling salesman problem. A specification can only be useful if there exist a piece of code that can take it, apply it to the algorithmic part and tell us the results.

I'm thinking more along the lines of "when this field is X, that field can only be Y or Z" or "when this condition holds, these fields are not accessed". And these declarations should be a part of the main code so that it can refer to its internals.
Ah! Finally I think I'm getting the distinction, thanks for being patient. I also agree about the ABI issue - explicit callbacks is much simpler.

It appears as Go doesn't expose green threads as per your definition for it's FFI though, but rather an even simpler synchronous interface in both directions. This makes it impossible to interface with the event loop, and one must use threads. For Go->C, at least, this should not block the runtime since the Go runtime spins up more threads in case of long running synchronous calls (their version of pre-emption).
ESP32 is a microcontroller with tiny amounts of RAM and flash storage (smaller than any 386 machine). It's not going to run anything close to a "real" OS. You'd want to do the opposite: use a machine like OP's for near bare-metal programming, where the only things it's running are a minimal kernel and a custom init binary with your actual, single-purpose app. That way you make the best use of a limited amount of RAM.
