Sounds like there's a communication issue between you and whoever is holding you to this deadline. You should have a week of buffer at least. If you think you're coming in hot, notify whoever ASAP that the deadline needs to be extended and/or more resources need to be allocated to your project. If neither are possible then escalate the issue higher up. It's there's still no action, miss the deadline, it's ok to let the ball drop if you can't handle it. Don't stress it either. It's a signal to the company of a larger issue, especially if it's documented that ample notification was given. It will be the person that held the deadline that will be ultimately be responsible for not working with you to resolve the situation.

You are part of a company/team, if you're soloing basically anything without support that's a red flag. Don't take failure personally, if you've done everything correct and communicated properly any failure is the team, not just you. I used to be in your situation. You need to change your perspective and detach any personal responsibility. Do what you can, and if you can't communicate. Failure is an option, but don't view it as yours. If you think things could of been done better, people should of listened, save it for the retrospective.

The E-Ink world is running though much the same dynamic server and personal computing software did, and may approach that of the mobile computing world.

Effectively, there's what hardware can do, the economics of the hardware market itself, and what the content (software for PCs, books, articles, and audio for ebook players) producers and markets demand.

In theory, and from a technical perspective, e-ink is pretty fantastic. I can carry well north of 1,000 books and articles in a form-factor the size of an A4 writing tablet. (The physical dimensions could of course be smaller, though that size works well with both human eyes and much printed material.) The capability to have multi-terrabyte storage currently exists (see high-end Apple iPad devices), and at a couple hundred TB, another few generations of storage development, you could literally carry the entire US Library of Congress around in your purse or satchel (roughly 200 TB at 5 MB per volume, ~42 million volumes).

What we read and how and why has a huge impact on how the devices are used (I treat mine as a large reference library). And how the marketplace and property regime is structured has a huge impact on what the permitted capabilities of devices are.

Our fundamental problem is that the business model the book-publishing market was built on is no longer at all compatible with technological capabilities. It's possible to locate and access any of millions of books within a few seconds.

What introduces obstacles to this is the mechanism of markets and property rights, neither of which now serve the interests of either readers or authors.

Information is a public good. It should be supported as same. This will create disruption, and the old giants will not go quietly. They will, I'm reasonably certain fall.

I'm not sure what will rise in their place.

I believe your parent poster was just poking fun at the "if everybody started to do X" construct. If all humans started to use EVs (or any other type of vehicles) at the same time, the traffic jams would indeed be horrific. At any given time perhaps <5% of people are on the roads, so how would you even fit 100% of people onto roads at the same time?

One thing to keep in mind is that news is really entertainment. Hollywood companies spend a lot of money coming up with scripts that mimic the drama of real lives. The news are real life and it's basically free when compared to other entertainment.

Jeff Zucker, the president of CNN Worldwide, shaped his career around entertainment not journalism. And he was hired to punch up the news from NBC by Warnermedia, CNN's parent. It just goes to show that the media companies treat news as entertainment. I think we need to be aware of that and be careful how we consume it.
These altimeters are required for decreased ILS minimums and autoland. You can perform a Cat I ILS down to 200' AGL in 1/2-mile visibility just fine without any radar altimeters.

I am impressed that this reuse is possible cheaply. I have had no exposure to the business end of this process. Indeed, my comment may be less relevant than I thought.

If it might not be clear even to the manufacturer which chip pays for which other chip, then I might give them a pass.

I suppose the only way to tell for sure would be de-lidding and comparing. But that's an expensive hobby.
Alternatively, this allows you to burn when you want to, such as when conditions are favorable to maintain control of the fire. You're correct that preventing large fires is important - control burns must be part of the solution.

I was a semi regular on BoS maybe 15 years ago. It was often interesting, and I remember the focus on desktop apps. Tons of SaaS skepticism.
Ngrok isn't the only one of those that do that though. It's not a unique feature. Hence why there's alternatives listed.
The surveillance and response part is interesting. I can't imagine drones that size can deliver an effective response. Especially if the fire is in a tree crown (lightning strike) and not in a neat bounded campfire ring.

Still, knowing a fire has started is half the battle.

Yeah Sweet16 was just a way to get denser code on a 6502, by giving you a 16 bit register VM so you could do 16 bit operations without having to expand out multiple 8 bit instructions. For a compiler target you might be better off with bytecode. I remember looking at the sweet16 description and thinking it would be hard to compile to, though partly because the docs I looked at weren't very complete. It was architecturally odd too though.

A lot.

Just looking at hard drives, if you take an estimate of 250 million units made in 2020 and multiply by a conservative 4TB, you get 10^21 bytes for that single year.
I would be interested to hear from a scientist on a couple questions I've had around this thinking:

I've read that because of this built up material AND dead trees from beetle kill, no water or snow, etc that the fires burn too hot and kill the regenerative seeds. Is this true?

If so how does that factor into the balance of that decision?

And do they take into account the carbon and pollution emitted that's a HUGE net negative? Maybe we can't ever stop them from happening in the first place perhaps it's more flatten the curve

Plus landslides and instability.

I think I've also read burn scars don't absorb and retain as much water - but I'm not as confident in that memory?

I'm the same. Unless it's a native epub, where it wasn't converted from print, it's frustrating.

Libel laws, themselves, are a restriction on free speech, no? If I sue someone for libel and win, it's not me that's restricting the other party's freedom of speech, it's the government. I merely asked them to do it.

Can you share these reports? How does interference exhibit itself?

It seems there a disagreement on factual truth which as another commenter pointed out could be resolved by say a YouTube video showing "here's a radar altimeter malfunctioning near a 5G antennae"

Also your comment seems inconsistent with the fact that the telcos delayed deployment of 5G towers near airports due to concerns about interference during takeoff and landing. So how can there be reports of interference from 5G tower if they haven't even been deployed there (edit: are these international reports)?

So weird, considering that mail delivery seems perfectly suited for EVs; the charging can be consolidated where trucks are parked overnight anyway.
For motorcycle helmets, one of the biggest downsides to foam protective layers is that the foam slowly degrades over time. Due to this, one must dispose of and replace a helmet every 5-7 years even without suffering an impact event.

If this material doesn't degrade like foam, that could lead to motorcycle helmets that could last indefinitely (as long as it doesn't suffer an impact).

lol, the pot calls the kettle black.
Part of the key is that they’re not really “built in.” They’re in the standard library. When you’re in those contexts, you just don’t use the standard library. Problem solved.

Now, the standard library is also getting support for these things not panicking on allocation failure, and when that’s ready enough for those that want it (Rust for Linux has pulled the changes into their tree, in my understanding) then they could use them.

(I work on embedded systems with no dynamic allocation, Rust is great.)
I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that this type of future will lead to literal class warfare. I believe whatever the next punk movement is will be reactionary against this type of lock-in; cultural and economic.

Maybe we should talk about making certain business plans illegal.

Unfortunately, you cannot flash any game you want on any CPS PCB.

A CPS-1 is made of three boards. The CPS-B chip on your B board changes between games. On later boards, the CPS-B chip remains the same but it has a battery to store parameters, making it different.

If a game attempts to use the CPS-B registers in unintended way, the screen goes to black and is locked like this.

The Z-80 battery you mention on CPS-1.5 is to store a private key that is used to de-crypt the Z-80 instructions.

And I won't even talk about the CPS-2 because they even encrypted the 68000 code and shuffled the GFXROM there.
This. It's the elephant in the room for so many of our problems related to abuse, trolling, influence campaigns, garbage content, attribution etc etc.

OTOH, is proof of personhood really what we want long term, or is that just a proxy? Hypothetically, if an AI is good & trustworthy enough, why not allow a higher "source rating" for that than low quality human content?
> The centralized web is awful. Getting away from it is awful.

That's just because a significant amount of people are awful. And now everyone is on the web, including the awful ones.

It's not social media, it's us.
That seems strange - a robot should have the same rules as a human? Why-ever would that be? It's a reasonable idea, that we will have more nuanced rules for automation vs human operators.
I have to say, this is pretty stupid. The tweets are barely coherent and have little correct grammar, capitalization, or punctuation. And the substance of the argument is pretty thin. The author just asserts that all products released by these companies are crap and thus their engineers are crap too, and it's due to class warfare that we think they are good... or something. He seems to conveniently ignore the fact that it's through these products that he is free to unleash his inane argument on the poor citizens of the world. I feel dumber for having read this, and I don't know why it's upvoted.

> the demand for subscription content is magnitudes less than ad-subsidized free content.

A lot of ad-subsidized content only "works" because by the time the user realizes that the content is subpar it's already too late and they've "paid" and can't take their money back.

This wouldn't work in a scenario where an explicit action needs to be taken (to agree to pay a fee) before consuming the content, and/or where due to laws/regulation the customer has the possibility to demand their money back if they've been misled.

The truth is that a lot of content on the internet isn't worth paying for.
It's the receiver, so it's more like, you're asserting your right to leave your door wide open on a street that is suddenly much more busy.

De facto possession of spectrum was heavily litigated in the early days of radio. There basically is none (not legal advice!), essentially no one has a claim on spectrum in the USA that is not assigned or regulated by the FCC. You have to sign away any claim to spectrum from before the establishment of the FCC to get a ham license or similar radiotelephone licenses. Nobody is around anymore that was operating then anyway. The language is blandly bureaucratic but in context that is what it means: "The Applicant/Licensee waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or of the electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the previous use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests an authorization in accordance with this application."

There is probably some similar language in the applications for other licensed bands.

They can't punish it either.
Unfortunately many prominent/famous people present an extremely curated and sanitized version of their personality to the public, and often treat people poorly in private. Shame to learn that seems to have been the case for someone like Sagan.

Life may flash before your eyes on death – new study
Yeah. No. As Mr. Wonderful like to say, take it behind the barn and shoot it.

Even a swarm of these cannot compare to the awesome power of small and large (Sikorsky) helicopters as well as medium to large (Boeing 707-class) tanker aircraft attacking a fire.

I have lived in fire country half my life. You NEVER get to fires when it's a convenient pile of logs in the middle of an accessible clearing that a drone can hover 20 feet above to precision drop suppressant balls. The more likely scenario is that, by the time it is detected you have to drop swimming-pool quantities of water or suppressant multiple times. And, of course, let's not even discuss a decent amount of wind and everything that goes with the situational awareness that pilots have.
> The cattle have to eat, after all, and cutting down the grazing land by 30% could cause some cattle to starve to death.

You lost me here at this point in the comparison. How is this analogous to the situation with altimeters?
AFAIK, it's now long (40+ years) that (at least on the west coast) periodic small fires are not only beneficial, but necessary, and that the US policy of "stop ALL fires" has been long-term extremely problematic. Mostly the "knowing" of this was finally accepting that the ways of those who originally lived here (first nations / native americans) were, in fact, better, since such periodic burns were the practice of those people.

AFAIK, the CA forest service have been trying to ramp up the number of small, controlled burns, but it's hard to not only get the funding to do it (in part because it's during the off-seasons) but because it's actually really hard to do because of the buildup up underbrush, which is the very problem the periodic burns address.

It's like a tech debt situation. There's enough tech debt that it's making it harder to pay it down.

I absolutely would not be surprised if forests on the east coast respond very differently to these kinds of burns.
We are talking radar here though. Radar in general is more sensitive to noise. It's not a digitally encoded signal like communications. It's looking at the reflections of radio waves and their strength among other things. This is an analog process the sensor is using. Before digitally encoded broadcasting was the norm the gaps between frequencies tended be wider to limit noise. For communication even with analog encodings like AM, FM ect... The noise floor is quite a bit higher before it becomes unusable for communications compared to radar. Radar needs to look at a wider band of spectrum as things will get shifted more from reflection and such. Further it needs to read the much weaker reflected signals. The signal is weaker because lots of energy will be lost by the time it's reflected. So it's quite possible some higher order harmonics operating on the edge of the 5G spectrum could bleed into the frequency area the radar is using above the expected noise floor.

Keep in mind these sensors were designed and approved long before the FCC allocated this spectrum above this range to 5G. 200 Mhz may be massive for communications, but not that is not entirely true for radar.
Yep, it creates a link with a code, then proceeds to ask me to "sign in on the web" but does not give me an option to sign up. In the Youtube videos, there's a button to "sign up" but not for me. I've tried with multiple browsers on multiple machines on multiple networks.
This is reminiscent of Gnome's PaperWM [0]. Not a Gnome user and just had the chance to try it for less than an hour, but the experience in my head sounded better than it was in reality - though was more of 'unexpected behavior' things than faults in the concept.

I think this approach tries to solve the 'cramming too much windows in a single virtual desktop' that sometimes can be felt with tiling WMs. For example, when I'm drawing something in Krita I'd want to see some references of what I'm drawing - I'd just scroll a bit to unveil an adjacent Falkon window to browse some images on the internet, do some strokes and scroll back to Krita's window - without having to resize it in half.

The point is that it isn't a bad thing if a local government listens to their constituents and builds what they want instead of building what a online vocal minority of people who don't live in their area want. Your argument about subsidies is only logical if you also advocate for no non-use-based taxes and the privatization of all services like healthcare, schools, and transit, since if one shouldn't have to pay for some things they don't use or want to use, then they shouldn't have to pay for anything they don't want to. Transit is also far more subsidized on a per user level than roads are, and I would be perfectly willing to pay the unsubsidized cost of car infrastructure (and so would most drivers), but I suspect that you wouldn't like having to pay the unsubsidized cost of transit. Car infrastructure also doesn't destroy the livability of an area, as shown by the survey results above; no one wants to live in an unlivable area by definition and most people want to live in areas you would deem "unlivable".
