I had a similar problem a few years ago. While I never found the perfect machine here is how I have been introducing my now 10 year old son to the world of computers:

- I bought him a Kano computer kit when he was about 7. The kit retailed for about $250 at the time and a kid could assemble it "like LEGO". It came with educational software that introduced him to programming languages, etc. (Unfortunately I do not think they make this kit anymore.) Verdict: MINOR SUCCESS.

- I tried to introduce him to Python (around 7.5) by following an online book about game programming. He did not show much interest. Verdict: FAILURE.

- I introduced him to MakeCode (arcade.makecode.com) around 8. He got absolutely hooked and it is still his favorite platform today. I bought him some cheap hardware (Meowbit) to put his programs on and he loves showing off his games to his friends and everyone else. Verdict: MAJOR SUCCESS.

- I introduced him to Godot when he was 9. He showed strong interest, built a few games in it and even understood enough of the Python like language that Godot has. He used this series of YouTube videos to learn about Godot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvPTSZl2WCc. Verdict: MEDIUM SUCCESS.

- We are currently building Ben Eater's 8-bit computer (eater.net/8bit) and he absolutely loves it. He is able to follow along with the videos and understand the material at a good level. He has named the computer "Terry". This project does require a lot of my own time. Verdict: MAJOR SUCCESS.

We have also tried other projects (e.g. Raspberry-pi with Raspbian, Arduino, Robotics kits, etc.) although nothing that he showed major interest at the time. I think you have to try with different things to see what will capture your child's imagination.
starlink radomes to keep snow and cats off the dish next?
Don't take me wrong, I'm all in for you to critize it, but using those arguments it's pretty much saying everything, even the e-mail could be criticized for that.

I think its not about danger, but about the general libertarian-ness of developers as a whole, specially the internet.

Some countries have tried to put degree requirements for software engineers, but developers are not union-friendly or certification-advocating.
SNI leaks the host name over HTTPS. Also, if the IP addresses are distinct enough they could be used to detect the destination as well.

Paid for OT. I was working 6 days a week, up to 11 hours a day, for several months. It sucked not having a lot of free time, especially once you added in class and religious pursuits, but man that extra money sure did let my wife and I get a lot of stuff done around the house and garden.
CHF 64.75 (~71 USD) per month for 25 gbit synchronous [1] here in Zürich, Switzerland. The cost now is hardware. The Fiber infrastructure in the city is mostly operated by the state electrical company. Anyone can provide service over it.

If you can get high speed, low latency, affordable internet access another way then Starlink probably isn't for you.

We've just moved to a place where our only other option was a £400 a month leased line delivering synchronous 100Mbps. For less than a quarter of that, Starlink gives us roughly 120-150Mbps down, around 7Mbps up, and pings around the 30 ms mark. Upload is slow but workable for now.

It's easy to complain for clout when you don't actually need the service. But if you don't have another affordable option, Starlink is remarkable. I keep having to remind myself that I'm running a business from my rural home via space.

And, sure, there are elements that aren't perfect (the cable on our dish isn't replaceable unless you want to manually splice wires, but reports on the Starlink subreddit say that Starlink will send you a new dish if the cable gets damaged). The power draw is around the same as a fairly typical lightbulb from 20 years ago, so I can totally live with that.

I know it's frustrating for people who can't get Starlink, especially if they know someone who wants transfer their dish to them, but that's the price of avoiding oversubscription.

If you can take the Starlink dish off your roof and still post your videos complaining about Starlink then you were never the target customer anyway.
> You can't show moves that haven't been played yet, so either your pace is much too slow, or you have to wait until the game is finished before displaying it.

This makes sense for human players, but the Chess Engines aren't human, so their matches can proceed in parallel. Whereupon a human audience isn't actually watching them in real time anyway. AIUI The engines are not learning during tournament play, so unlike a human (who may discover an opponent's weaknesses during play over the course of a tournament) they're only getting updates at specific points between play.

"That's not how humans do it" is a pretty weak excuse even if not for the fact that TCEC has a completely inhuman design. Humans don't start from positions chosen more or less arbitrarily to reduce the number of draws, whereas TCEC does.
Exactly.

Democrats: vote for us for universal healthcare, weed, etc.

Neither plans to actually do anything at the national level. They want these carrots kept around to dangle in their constituents' faces.
Yeah I hadn't looked into Solana's contract language much and this sounded like a nightmare. Another good one is that Cardano follows a UTXO model for everything, including contracts. So the address of a contract changes every time someone interacts with it
> The popular areas of Idaho are tiny compared to vast regions of flat land available in the middle.

This isn't a solution to the cost of living, and in fact it would make it much worse. If people were spread out evenly over Idaho, the cost of shipping goods and driving to work would explode, not to mention power transmission, broadband, sewers, etc. Ascribing the current situation to some "desire to be competitive" which somehow appeared in the past three decades and was absent in 1900, is not compatible with comparisons to our past or other countries' present.

Paris has roughly five times the population density of Washington, DC. We're not out of space. We're using it badly.

Meanwhile, there are parts of coastal California that aren't even expensive:

Most of the common protocols for streaming video involve making a series of http requests to fetch short segments of video from a server. If there wasn't pipelining or QUIC requests going on it would be pretty obvious what was going on, but maybe less so if the requests were spread out across a number of servers.

With pipelining or some other protocols the signature is going to be a sustained download that runs at a rate less than the maximum possible.

If the servers are being found through DNS that's another tool to figure out what is going on. If not, the carrier is going to want a list of IP blocks associated with video streaming.

What I don't get is customers caring a lot about whether they are getting 480p vs better. The old NTSC video was outright awful, and the difference between that and 480p is greater than that between a clean 480p and 720p, 1080p or even 4k. In the best circumstances the returns are diminishing but if you are viewing on a little phone screen in bright light what's the point?
> ok fine but medium rare steak is the best way to enjoy it so I made it medium rare despite what you previously explicitly told me enjoy

Well considering it’s a felony to cook or consume some steaks above medium rare I may do the same.

Kidding of course :P
> Trust is the most important thing in crypto

That’s not what the crypto shills have been saying for years. It’s supposed to solve everything because it’s trustless.
I bet average ROAS is much closer to 1. So many companies have upside down unit economics and the ads never pay off. Even if you have good economics you would not want to see 10x ROAS as it means you’d be massively underspending in a profitable channel.

So I’m sure the shift is real, but probably lower than your estimate. I also assume Facebook will quickly figure a workaround through alternate IDs or fingerprinting in other ways.
We pay 180 USD a month for a phone line and DSL from Century Link. This connection is 1.5 mbps down and 500 kbps up in practice (advertised speeds are higher). Starlink has been a game changer for us.
Because everyone else is doing it and they feel like they need to do it. Also, statistics manipulation by said ad agencies. They do anything for conversion "attribution" metrics. Saw an ad 6 months ago and now you buy the product? That's tracked as a conversion by the ad company, telling the business how great their ads are doing. I'm convinced that a vast amount of sales attributed to online ads are sales that would have been made anyway.
And insane spam follows.
literally true; my first linux box didn't fly until I upgraded from 4MB to 16, at which point I could run emacs, g++, a shell, and X windows at the same time.

In a way... what happened to the internet, the privatization and commercialization, is going to happen to space. I don't know if I should like that.
90% of the reason for that is fiscal policy, not monetary. Neither the Fed nor Satoshi can make houses get built faster.
In my case, Spectrum has decided that they want a flashy "gigabit tier", so they provision everything as download bandwidth (940 Mbps), and then only assign 35 Mbps upload.

I'd pay extra for business class service, but it doesn't even help, it's the same speed just with some more guarantees and a stable IP.
I'm sorry but seeing those price tags next to all that wonderfully weird art totally kills it

They do not know, but they also do not need to know. Technically they are not limiting resolution, they are limiting throughput on their network; the streaming service will reduce the resolution to avoid long lag/loading times for users.
disclaimer: ansible developer

I would agree, Ansible is not the best tool to 'remove some files from localhost', a simple scirpt or one line shell command is much faster.
Ansible is designed mostly to do 'remote' work in parallel and with many features that would just be 'overhead' for that scenario.

Ansible was not built for speed, it was built to make automation across many targets simple, auditable and reliable.

If you don't need any of those things, it will appear unwieldy, I would compare this to going through security checks, luggage handling and customs at an airport to cross the street.

FYI, you can build modules (remote execution pliugins) in much more than Python, any scripting language works, even binary modules are supported. I know of group using golang modules for their environment, have not heard of people using rust (yet).
The first question that naturally comes out of it is when we should expect an exploit, because it does look like a rich source of vulnerabilities.
Society as a whole is employed by either the government, or companies that use advertising to generate cash and pay salaries; not sure which other system you are advocating.
"Never" is a long time. I am willing to bet that marijuana will at least be federally rescheduled to class 3-5 before 2035.

HFC is a mess. It's not worth it to keep improving it. Here in Spain HFC providers are rushing to lay fiber because it's not only more competitive for real speeds, but because maintinance is much easier and cheaper.

The savings come in the form of real state, the "last mile" widens a lot, many of the elements of the network are passive so you save up energy too, and you can cram up much more people/€ spent.
> Trust is the most important thing in crypto

What? I thought the whole point was to be trustless?
> And look at the vitriol.

The vitrol is due to the fact that no matter how long the conspiracy doomsday fails to happen, you will come up with an excuse for why the doomsday got delayed.

> If you want a date, let's give it two years.

So then, if in 2 years, the financial doomsday doesn't happen, you will admit "yep, I got totally tricked by an internet conspiracy, and have no idea what I was thinking, and I will try not be convinced by conspiracy theories anymore, and nobody should listen to what I had to say about any of this stuff previously"?

Or will you just make up another reason why the doomsday didn't happen?

> I think the price will go up

Its not about price going up by a couple percentage points. Instead, the issue is this unfalsifiable conspiracy, of financial collapse and doomsday that people are predicting, and will accept no amount of evidence to the contrary, no matter how long this doomsday fails to materialize.
You learn something new every day... ace.
I'm not asking for the status quo to continue and didn't intend my comment to imply that. I purposely started my original comment suggesting I was ignoring the ethics in order to concentrating on the wider economic impact of changes such as that implemented by Apple. The other comment threads on this post are doing a good job of debating the ethics, I'm just trying to ensure people have in mind the wider impact when they debate these changes.

Personally I think the privacy invasive advertising is long overdue heavy regulation and I look forward to it both as a person and particularly as a parent. I fully support Apples change and hope the rest of the industry follow.

We have always tried to minimise our usage of privacy invasive advertising (we actually barely use Facebook narrow targeting tools and have avoided targeted remarking as I personally hate being chased around the internet by ads for something I have looked at), and will continue to do so.
They've always been monetized? A few years ago, you didn't get private Git repositories unless you paid or ran your own server. That's shifted and money is made from CI minutes and things now. Editors - JetBrains, VS, etc. are all commercial.
I'm going to go ahead and reply to myself here with the answer:

'No-loss lottery', unsurprisingly, isn't as "free money" as it sounds. From what I can gather, you're putting the equivalent of earned interest into the lottery pool and then it all gets given away to someone in that pool. You're playing the lottery with the interest you could have earned if you were not in the lottery.

I was able to explain this without knowing much of anything about how Blockchains or Etherium work. Question is then, why didn't Parent explain it? It clearly doesn't require deep knowledge.
People in the tech world pretty regularly use expressions like "dead trees" for print and "spinning rust" for magnetic disks, both of which were undeniably revolutionary and whose modern embodiments are marvels of engineering and logistics.

I guess we just have very different expectations about tone in the context of this particular article.
The main concern I have about the viability of web3 is the common reactions I see to criticism of it. It sounds to me like it is an idea that is barely holding on.
Whether it is bananas or not, it's the same principle Microsoft uses for patch Tuesday (ie slow down patch analysis by bundling everything into a big monthly release)
I bought a diamond last week for $25000. Turns out it was a fraud company. Within a week I got all my money back. That is what the 3% gives you. With blockchain there is no fraud protection and all transactions are irreversible.

In the crypto world steal 250 million dollars in hack attach and not a single thing anyone can do. This is an inferior model in every single definition of the word.
Depends on whether you’re focused on immediate sales or building long-term brand image. The old person may only have one car purchase left in their lifetime; the 14-year-old could have six or more.

Any software developer worth their salt should be at least capable of explaining their thought processes to a computer.

By analogy, they should be reasonably capable of explaining their thought processes to another human that understands computer languages (i.e. a fellow software dev).

To me, anyone who doesn't pass that bar shouldn't be working on software at all.
It's also curious that, on another thread about AI generated code, people are dismissing it because the AI "can't explain the code" or something.
I guess this is the $5 hammer.

> fine with people not finding me automatically

That’s a private gain at the network’s cost. For a challenger, their decision to bar that albeit limited form of free-riding is perfectly rational. For a dominant network, I am much more sympathetic to the call for anonymity.
Well, if I can get my cost for the premium Starlink to $200, I would drop the TMO home internet.

Right now I'm paying $99 for Starlink, $23/mo ATT, $50/mo TMO. Hardware costs were $450 for the router and LTE modem (EM160g) and roughly the same for (what I know know to be the gen 1) Starlink.

I had no idea they rolled out a gen 2 Starlink that's even more restricted than the first one. Ah well.

When I was in NORCAL and wired, I was on business internet that was $190/mo, so that's about what I'm accustomed to.

I have no idea what it would cost to wire my house. I'm miles from any infrastructure.
How is this front page of HN? These are the most basic arguments that have repeated ad infinitum
Ask HN: Do you use TLA+?
It's surprising to me that so many crypto projects don't use TLA+.
Besides the ones mentioned here (https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/tla/industrial-use.html), does your company use TLA+?

This idea that website owners are not allowed to see what people are doing on their website, as if it's some egregious invasion of privacy, is so tiresome. It's akin to having security cameras, or matching inventory and transaction details to credit card/member information, which happens every time you purchase anything at a store in real life.

Yet this piece of javascript that turns your web session into an anonymized set of numbers is some kind of breaking point? When will the internet nerd community grow out of this phase?
None of the things mentioned in the article are remotely comparable to just wanting to vacation in the US for a few months.
>It doesn’t feel dishonest to me

In some cases they are outsourcing the work on their own dime, I saw at least one thread where someone said they were outsourcing it to another country, one where someone was asking about doing it, and a third where someone was actually caught doing it (I believe it was an article share).

A lot of the attitude seems to be "offload it to other people on your team/subordinates".

Lots of "refuse to attend meetings if they overlap, remember they need YOU you don't need them" type attitude too.

I think dishonest might be an understatement for a lot of what I've seen in that sub.
The Quest is sold at a loss so that criticism is pretty unfair. Valve makes money out of the Index.

And pretty much in the end they have basically same death rates as other countries.

Also, Portugal has higher death rates than Sweden. Same population. What can we take from this? Population density in stric geographical zones don't help at all in pandemics, and your country should have a good healthcare system ready to take these kind of pandemic situations. Also, let's see how useless those measures are when you start measuring the weight of the economic disaster that's coming up.
With that much at stake, it seems easier to try a public spectacle like the guy who is digging up a landfill to find an old hard drive with a btc wallet.

We use routers from the FriendlyElec/FriendlyARM NanoPi range - they're pretty much the same deal: custom firmware built on top of OpenWRT. The advantage with the NanoPis is they're tiny, and cheap enough to be almost disposable. When we're building test/measurement hardware, we throw in a NanoPi configured with a phone-home VPN. If the hardware runs into issues or needs modified, the user can just plug in an Ethernet cable and we can get remote access.

The only downside of these is that we've experienced reliability issues with one particular model of the NanoPi, which I suspect might be down to bad solder joints. The Omnia looks a lot more solidly built.
