Its a state machine pumping raw data. Problem is with clocking, you can only use one clock source and few dividers. 48MHz is too fast and you will miss samples. I dont know why Hantek firmware is missing the 30 MHz option, maybe it required different main crystal?
Exactly. Sandy Munro has an excellent video with multiple different battery packs torn down and compared: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JiDZVO9NdM

You can see that the cooling channels in the Tesla pack are these hollow undulating aluminum shapes. Can imagine they're not very cheap. Also the Tesla packs are filled with some kind of bonding foam, making repairs near impossible.

Python and Ruby
> solve (reduce? resolve? expand?)

Reduction (in particular "beta-reduction") is essentially 'calling a function with an argument' (just defined in a precise, mathematically-rigorous way). Since lambda calculus only has functions (AKA "lambdas"), "reducing an expression" is another way of saying "running/executing a program".

"Expansion" would be going the other way; e.g. introducing an abstraction layer which, when reduced/executed, would result in the original expression.

This was a single person creation once but it grew so much bigger than that.

Also as a single-person creation, Linux is basically the implementation of an API which existed before -- not only did this bypass a huge amount of work that would go into designing a fundamentally new operating system, but it meant Linus's work would be useful because lots of existing software would run on it.

(I find it depressing that real innovation in operating systems seems impossible because everybody wants to run old software... Thus all the "bloat" has to get put back into the system.)
The how-it-works section doesn't explain where the data is stored. Is it local in the browser? Why does the search engine need the user's email address?
Right now probably isn't because the car market is insane with dealers getting away with markups above sticker price because the market is so hot. Otherwise the tech seems to mostly be there the biggest issue is charging networks on longer trips. I've watched a few different videos that highlighted that other companies that rely on charging networks instead of going DIY like Tesla has have some issues with finding chargers in areas. It's a fixable problem but the people would often drive to a charger only to find it's a slow or broken charger and there was no way to know before they got there. (Or at least it wasn't easily visible in the navigation information like you can see with Teslas).

Even if you don't think GDPR compliance is important, you probably need to consider the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act, if you are running a business that's big enough to be subject to them. These laws are broadly similar to GDPR.

> Export controls on cryptography were eliminated decades ago

According to that Wikipedia page, some restrictions remain today. Even if there weren’t anymore, I wouldn’t call it a territory uncharted because we haven’t been there for a few decades.

> Governments are not directly involved in enforcing patents.

Not directly, no, but they decide on what’s patentable and what’s not, and on how long patents hold. For example, AFAIK the periodic Disney patent extension doesn’t come about from civil court proceedings between private parties.

> I don't think the GDPR attempts to restrict what data a software program can process locally on your computer

Similarly, I haven’t read the proposal, but don’t expect this regulation will forbid you to use any kind of certificate locally on your computer, or between your own computers.

> It only comes into effect if that data gets sent to some company.

That, IMO, is limiting “what end user software can do”.
cloudflare is an entity that you can choose to trust with your data. It's not any different than how your hosting provider/cdn can "MITM" you as well. The issue people are having with this regulation is that the government is forcing you to trust some unrelated party.
No, I worked with Ecco until about 2010 and then migrated all databases to Crossline; even though the original company didn't continue development of Ecco Pro there were (and still are) free installers on the Web and even people providing patches. My evaluation of Ecco Pro alternatives had it's peak in 2009 as far as I remember. Org-mode was already established. Of course I was biased as a long-time Ecco Pro user and looked for something with similar or even better features; Crossline can do things I missed in Ecco Pro and doesn't do things I rarely or never used in Ecco Pro; and I didn't spend a second in making it fancy looking, but a lot of time in making it as efficient, usable and powerful as possible; and it's definitely not suited for mobile devices, which is no problem for me since I need a laptop with a track-point to be able to work efficiently.
Because I can read. And yes, we know the only thing which would make a Republican want to restrict guns is the "wrong people" having them.

The law applies to websites, not businesses. If your website has European visitors, then it is making the relevant interaction even without business happening. I’ve come across websites that simply deny me access, guaranteeing they don’t have any European visitors. US law spreads in a few ways, eg licence to use the dollar, though that may be broader than the exact wording.
>What dependencies do you imagine code running in lambdas would have that preclude Linux as a deployment candidate?

The context was "Shit-ton of .Net running in on-prem corporate environments still", not code already running in a Lambda. There are plenty of Windows dependencies/assumptions that are not GUI code. Porting a .Net service, for example, which would be pretty common. And just lots of mundane stuff that's still work, like logging, file locations, etc.

Right. But if your resume is rejected at screening, you won't reach that point.

If they only hire people with degree A or B from colleges C, D or E with experience of F and G, you'd better have those on your resume.

It told me my site is probably violating GDPR. It's a static blog and doesn't collect any information or use any cookies, but it's hosted in the US. There would be ip addresses in the nginx logs, but those would be the ips of the proxy load balancer from my cloud provider.
A pretty decent incident report by the standards of government websites.

As a business + personal user over 15 years, I've noticed The UK's gov.uk websites have been improving at the fastest rate I've seen over the last 3-4 years in particular.

Does anyone know why this is? (Or perhaps you have had a different experience).
I mean, fair's fair, many worlds doesn't give you probabilities. On the other hand, I'm not convinced saying "and then collapse happens" is an explanation for the Born rule anyway, seeing as collapse is just something magic that turns amplitudes into probability in the same way (mathematically) decoherence does. Meanwhile, collapse remains totally unmoored from the rest of quantum mechanics. It could definitely be decided either way, whether by a satisfying explanation of collapse or a solid explanation for the Born rule, but as of now I'd say the weight of evidence is behind many worlds.
This was probably done by just one crazy obsessive, and will likely be around for quite some time:

Does Anyone Know What Paper Towels Should Cost?
One item forgotten in this conversation:

Companies tend to write off their problem accounts (impaired assets) using external events as an excuse ("everyone is doing it mentality")

Im not suggesting they had 25B in nonperforming assets, but sometimes this is a strong motivator to do spring cleaning - and quietly make problems go away, such as bad M&A deals, etc.
My impression was they can very much be compliant as long as they sign a contract with you that they only process data themselves in manner compliant with GDPR in the services you make available for EU citizens.
There's room for nuance here, though -- while "democracy via revolution" is a good backstop[1], it's self-evidently a higher-friction method of regime change than electoral democracy. People in the USA or EU are more responsible for their government than Russians.

[1] Interestingly the French Declaration of the Rights of Man from 1789 includes the right of "resistance to oppression"
It's absolutely not. Twenty years isn't remotely near the median road lifespan[1] for any vehicle. You see a lot of 20 year old Corollas because c. 2002 the Corolla was the most popular car in the world. I'm sure it's more durable than many other vehicles, but it's not magic.

[1] Let me specify "passenger vehicles" and "US roads" lest someone jump in to point out that box trucks last longer or that cars get shipped to foreign markets at end of life, etc...
I really like the mice that have a clutch button that lets you unlock the wheel for free scrolling. It helps for scrolling through long documents. I feel like a touchpad scroll wheel doesn't really change the finger motions. Unless, they do something clever like where you drag your finger down and hold it at the bottom for constant autoscrolling. They could adjust the speed of the autoscroll based on how fast your finger moved.
The translation is "It's a complicated subject, I take the comments of the specialists " and then links to 3 twitter accounts. All three tweet in French and I can't see them discussing the topic.

Why would jewelry stores even do the sale. I’d they do the sale then they too end up with rubles that are worthless.

What you mean is basic web development is easy, software engineering is a much broader field than web development and there's lots of hard problems there. Even basic web development can get really complex with scale , I think the issue is people conflate being able to write a few lines of code with being a Good programmer. It's like saying writings easy because everyone knows how to write
Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, I don't have a very clear understanding (probably nobody does). As far as I understand, when "running two programs in the same address space" (this is, LKMs), it's fine to have non-GPL compatible modules as long as these don't interact with GPL DRMed symbols. You can have self-contained stuff and that won't be an issue. You could also no licensing limitations if you replaced every single module that's GPLed and DRMed with your own isolated modules, but that'd of course break the compatibility with the upstream-based stuff and would only work for very tailored scenarios.

What I'm asking about is not actually linking, right? To link something I'd need to import kernel symbols. I could always create a self-isolated subsystem that just runs in kernelspace but works on its own without importing stuff from the kernel, as long as I'm willing to put the effort.

Depends who owns it and what their financial situation is.

Anybody who has to stiff someone to scrape up the lump sum to replace a transmission is probably going to replace the transmission rather than roll the dice spending the same or more on a different car that might need something else in short order. Those people also aren't the same people who rack up big bills for random suspension wear parts because they don't have those parts replaced until they start impeding the vehicle's ability to get from A to B <clutches pearls> because they can't afford to indulge in that kind of maintenance.
It's definitely 'other jurisdictions'. There's a (short) whitelist of countries that are deemed adequate, which you can find here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/inte...

To save you the click, it's Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Uruguay.

These are 14 countries.
There is currently no requirement in the UK for someone to actually have a passport or equivalent document. And unless you travel, there isn't much reason to have any if you're under the age of 17.
T460s user here, on Windows (and Hackintosh, for the sake of bad comparison), my system idled ~40-45c and the fans also ran constantly. Put Linux on it, add auto-cpufreq, and then it idles ~27c (30c with external display). No fans unless I launch games, have heavy network usage for >5 minutes, or compile something.

I'd probably give the Macbooks (or this new Thinkpad) a closer look if I didn't work with Docker constantly. As it stands though, ARM and x86 are still not like comparisons, and still not even remotely capable of the same workloads. I have high hopes for the future of RISC arches, but we're undeniably trapped in an age of x86 dominance.
I am currently in the same boat as you were and this looks fascinating. I was dreading having to migrate all of my CharFields to JSONField to support languages. I look forward to integrating this with i18next handling the frontend.

Looking at the chart of USD RUB this is going to have massive consequences.

So, based on how networks and the internet works, no one from Europe can access a site if it's hosted in the US?

Based on how networks work, you need to know where to send back those packets. Or do we have to all just blanket disable access to users from Europe.

This is insane.
> probably going to replace the transmission

With what, though? Not a new part. A transmission from another vehicle that got scrapped. That's the point: these cars don't "last" on their own, they're just the winners in a cannibalism race.
If you read between the lines on the two competing lawsuits, ATK hired a CEO to manage Kimball, who had one foot out the door and was already preparing to start a competing company which he'd own, unlike ATK where he was a minority partner. One way to read the situation is that he was "constructively" terminated --- that ATK would keep him on the books, but had planned to remove all his authority.

That just centers the column. It'll only make a meaningful difference if you maximize your browser window.

There's little point maximizing a browser on a big screen so I don't. My portal into the web page is roughly square, about as wide as my screen is high, maybe a little bit wider - no more than 4:3 and probably closer to 5:4.

I use a left-aligned tab tree and and other apps, such as console terminals and my note taking app to the left of the browser, to use the space left over.

Wide screen display of mostly text content doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I2P is a self-contained thing - once you are on I2P you can reach others who are also on I2P.

Some I2P users run an outproxy, if you use an outproxy for anonymized Internet access, the outproxy has access to your web traffic just like a Tor exit node does.

Tor will change circuits and your exit node periodically, if you use an I2P outproxy you'll have that outproxy's IP until you stop using it.

Also I2P (at least last I checked it out a few years ago) has a built-in torrent -over-I2P client.
> Also, I don't think EV prices have really changed that much. Chip shortages haven't really affected it.

EV prices have shot up along with other new cars. Probably the 2 best known EVs, the Tesla Model S and Model 3 went from $77.4k to $99.5k and from $38.1k to $46.1k in 2021. 28% and 21% increases respectively.
This is a common misconception, so if you're just joking I'll prepare myself to be wooshed in the hopes it helps someone else reading this. There is a concept of many universes which permits slightly differing laws of physics (actually different fundamental constants), but many worlds isn't that one. Many Worlds just says that quantum wavefunctions don't collapse. It doesn't posit any "universe" that the Copenhagen interpretation doesn't allow, it just lets them exist side by side.
I mean, what's the alternative? We see people here complain every single day about unilateral action taken by Google and the like. Which is better, to have to deal with the rule of laws written by an elected body in a court, or to shout into the wind at a corporation?

It’s a violation if it happens without consent. If PII (which IP address counts as) is shared (for example by fetching Google Fonts from a US-based CDN) regardless of consent, that is a violation.

Many sites have a consent wall but will throw out third-party requests even if consent is not explicitly given.

If you do those requests only for logged in users who have individually consented (oh, and grandfathering in old users who did not consent will require the same new consent), that does not in itself count as a violation.

Also, explicit consent is not required for strictly necessary things. "Because this way is easier and cheaper and almost everyone else in our industry is doing it" is not sufficient reason.
From a CLI you run into issues with `nc` and the like supporting https. You can get close with `curl` since it has a -H option that allows you to provide headers in a file.

curl -v -H @request1.txt neverssl.com

With a request1.txt header file

X-Header: mine
User-Agent: bob

Will generate a request of

> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: neverssl.com
> Accept: */*
> X-Header: mine
> User-Agent: bob

You end up needing to know 3 options. -X <METHOD> to specify the HTTP method, -d @<file> if you want to send a request body, and -H.
