It's generally perceived to be autonomous and without central leadership, and I think at this point it largely is. Any PR efforts could just be independent efforts and whoever wants to follow along does. Originally though I think it was a lot more like "project mayhem" with centralized leadership that created this beast.
We just put in lighting for an entire house. Here's what we learned:

- Even high-end bulbs flicker badly when dimmed. Maybe flickering all the LEDs in the array with different phases would fix this.

- It's illegal to sell bulbs that buzz in California. All our custom fixtures buzz. If you buy high end dimmers, they buzz less, but still buzz. More enforcement of consumer protection laws is needed. Manufacturers should be liable for parts and labor and upgrades if their fixture buzzes with a dimmer that's licensed for sale in the state. Dimmers should be regulated for compatibility with a least-common-denominator LED.

- The current status quo is to buy lights that are brighter than needed, then dim them (California mandates installation of dimmers). This makes no sense. There should be an option to do a lighting simulation of the house, and then use the results of that to remove the dimmer requirements for high-efficiency, properly-sized installs. This helps solve the flickering and buzzing issue.

- The bulbs are all high CRI and matched color temp. They mostly maintain CRI and temp across the dimmable range, but other bulbs I've dealt with in the past did not. Bulb CRI should be rated at the worst-case dimming level.

- There should be a maximum permittible latency for power on of bulbs, again, across the dimming range. Some of our lights take 2 seconds to power on. (Coincidentally, these are probably the most marked up of the fixtures, and the only ones bought from a non-Ikea brick and mortar that operates in California. (These are also the loudest of the buzzers).

- Lutron fixtures are terrible. The smarter the fixture, the worse it is. Many are not fit for purpose. Everyone we've talked to say they're the best available. They should be liable for replacement parts and labor, and more consumer protection laws are needed (around minimum time to power on, correctness of movement / humidity detction, and standardization of the dimming current range, and the user interface of what happens if you push buttons / flip switches. The latter is not standard, even within Lutron's line)
My understanding is Tesla currently uses cylindrical cells for NCA packs and blade/prismatic cells for LFP battery packs.

You are absolutely right. Unfortunately, the European lawmakers doesn't understand how international law works, so they created a "worldwide" law without any possibility to enforce that law outside of the EU. For that reason some people call GDPR a paper tiger.

Status only started sponsoring Nim in 2018[1]. Before that Nim was doing just fine. So the answer to your question is: nothing is going to happen to Nim if Status disappears.

How to overcome failure and troubleshoot

Well, what I remember from it (about 20 years ago now) is mainly this: make/compiler error -> search -> modify obscure file -> repeat. For days in row. At that time I didn't exactly know a lot about programming so most of it was just dumb copy-pasting without knowing what was going on. I do think it was useful (hard to tell - I seem to be able to fix pretty much everything in the SW depertment these days but that's probably a sign of attitude in general, much less thanks to LfS), but also lead to a bit of a distaste for linux. I.e. after having spent weeks like that with lfs, and then again when deciding to go for gentoo, and then again with debian, there wasn't much fun in it anymore. Only a 'been there, done that, now give me something which just works' feeling.

It is. You can use org mode to write a scientific paper, personal wiki, blog posts, do literate programming, etc. I used to use Rmarkdown but I prefer using org now. It has better support for tables which is handy for printing out data frames.

I found out recentishly that GitHub supports org mode too.

Is this the death of Sparc? Shame because the T-series seemed to really have legs, especially in a microservices & Kubernetes world.

Does this assume the electricity is emission free? Because where I live less than 40% of our electricity is from renewables (even those aren't completely 0 carbon impact, as they have to produce panels/wind mills/etc...). The rest is from oil & gas plants.

I understand you are comparing driving an ICE vehicle vs. production of an electric one. But it seems a little misleading to ignore the co2 impact of driving the electric car which is far from 0.

So... there was a time when I was on the path to recovery to depression, had a bit of a hiccup when I found myself in a very tiny room that served as storage space in my (dear, helpful) uncle's apartment.

So besides pushing all the stuff he had stashed away and doing some feats of organization there, I put some extremely bright led lamp pointing from the window to the rest of the room, flooding it with white light that made it as bright as day. It was really cheap off my local Home Depot-equivalent.

It really fixed my mood, fewer intrusive thoughts, less of a depressive state, more tranquility, if I had rougher times, psychotic episodes for instance, it would also calm them.

Years later I'm much better, and though things aren't easy, they only get better as I put grow lights and plants in what otherwise would be a dark apartment (I get the white ones that advertise a broad spectrum light but doesn't go into ultraviolet on a local hardware store, rather than the purple ones that everyone is putting on their apartments on NY). I reclaim the space room by room with brightness and plants.
My product (https://gitsense.com) moves most of Git's history into a relational database and then I do indexing on top of that to produce things like code churn (lines added, changed and deleted), which is also stored in the database. So as you can probably imagine, generating the table is just a bunch of SQL statements.
You're going to get a lot of hate here from the tech bros.

This, however, is much more inline with Defcon, CCC, and hacking culture. And this sort of writeup about (React, API endpoint insecurity, cheating apps) would be a straight-up accepted submission to the respective cons.
> Proxy war means no boots on the ground. The two of you agree

To be fair, most actual “proxy wars” (e.g., during the Cold War) have also involved covertly-inserted forces from whichever (including both, where that was the case) of the two superpowers wasn't overtly involved.

When I was a teenager who wanted very much to make videogames and demoscene productions (in the pre-ubiquitous-internet era of Wolfenstein), I had worked up through basic, and pascal, and finally arrived at c++ for speed. The C++ books dealing with graphics were all using really cheesy and slow libraries, totally inappropriate for games.

The one book that really made everything come together was "Flights of Fantasy" https://www.amazon.com/Flights-Fantasy-Programming-Video-Gam...

This covered how to write a simple flight simulator in C++ on the hardware of the time. It also gave a really good practical primer on the linear algebra needed for 3d graphics. Inline assembly and a bunch of fun algorithms for quick and dirty approximate math were there too.

That book, along with the free time and obsession that a 14 year old can muster, was probably what started me on my (in my opinion) successful hacking and optimization trajectory.

It's a bit dated now that most CPU's have amenities like built in floating point math but not too long ago I was doing embedded audio synthesis on an 8bit AVR micro and Bresenham's line drawing algorithm was just what I needed to efficiently generate saw waves.

Regarding documentation, check out Docs for Developers by Bhatti et al. The subtitle describes the book as "an engineer's field guide to technical writing" and that's exactly what the book is. It provides you a detailed step-by-step overview of what high-quality documentation process and output looks like. I've been a technical writer for 9+ years and can vouch that anyone following the blueprints laid out in that book will probably end up with significantly better docs.

FWIW, I just replaced a lot of bulbs in my house with Philips Hue white ambience bulbs because I'm very sensitive to flickering and we dim a lot. So far, no buzz or flicker. They are expensive, and so is everything in their ecosystem, but I finally have a light I like dimming.
Interesting. I believe there's an Arab (or Islamic, I'm not sure which) system of using sunrise/set as 0h as well. Possibly related.
Normally I'm an early arriver, so in those conditions I generally take care of non-coding stuff. If I run out of that, I start in on the coding work.

Thanks, I'm familiar with why it's called a stand-up. On my teams the go-through-the-kanban-board phase of the meeting is generally faster than that. But that phase also tends to spark post-standup discussions. "Oh, you want to work on that subsystem too? Let's talk a bit about where we want to take it." I think it's better if people allocate time for that, which is why, especially in places like this, I'll talk about it as I did.

The buckling is caused by hits of the air molecules, sound waves transmitted by the support, photons that hit the surface (probably very small at room temperature), and any other stuff ...

The idea is that the resistor acts as a small generator that produces a current that is electric notice. This transform some mechanical energy into electricity, and in a magical universe it would cool down the resistor.

The problem is that the rest of the circuit is also producing electric noise. So the small current of the noise of the rest of the circuit goes to the resistor and is dissipated as heat and warms the resistor.

If you live in a magical word, you can magically turn off the noise of the rest of the circuit, but in the real word that is impossible and both effect cancel and the resistor keeps it's temperature.

This is pretty standard theory, but perhaps it's not the best way to explain it.

My guess is that the important result of the research paper is that the spectrum of the noise of the part of the circuit with the graphene is different of the spectrum of the noise of the resistor. It's interesting, but it does not break the current laws of Physics.

>>> What we did was reroute the current in the circuit and transform it into something useful

That's a direct jump into the "totally wrong or Nobel price" category. That's a claim that breaks the Second Law, so they are totally wrong or they get a Nobel price, there is no middle ground. (Sometimes the Nobel committee takes a few year to assign the price, but a result like this would cause immediately a huge discussion in the Physic community, like the discovery of the Higgs boson or LIGO.)

So I went to school in a recently desegregated school district in the 70's- those who could afford to sent their kids to private schools, then voted against the public school budget at every turn. I don't think you can argue that this would not be in danger of happening again.

Expanding the term POC to include Asians is yet another example of white liberals undermining Black and Latino causes to try to convince themselves that they're not racist, only those nasty conservatives are.
Home lighting solutions are absolutely shit. Idk why nobody has invented anything better but there could be so much more light in our houses with modern tech.

I think the problem really is cost. Good lighting costs 1000s of dollars and it really hasn’t been accepted socially that a modern house needs that like it does a fancy kitchen or an ac unit.

Fundamentally lighting is a hardware business and hardware isn’t very profitable

Yes its definitely harder for a new immigrant to understand the cultural norms required to work in a law or media (i think plenty work in "business"). But the fact that a field requires a particular cultural background makes it less meritocratic. Hiring people who are "like you" is the furthest possible thing from meritocracy. Technology work is generally pure logic, which is pretty universal and universality breeds meritocracy. In terms of the degrees being harder I don't have hard evidence, but having done some humanities and some math I think its pretty obvious which type of work is more complex.
Yes, they spent the past ~10 years preparing for Western sanctions by buying gold and foreign currencies. They were warned by western countries before 2014 and took the time to adjust their strategy.

IMHO the most interesting change they did is to become self-sufficient regarding their food production, and even net exporter of wheat, corn, and other cereals. They correctly identified that was a risk and made necessary changes to reduce it to the point where they can leverage their position against other actors.

> Does Android allow installing public keys for specific apps so you don't have to allow all untrusted apps just to install one?

This is kind of a silly question. The only point of the "Install unknown apps" setting is to make it less convenient to avoid the Play Store. You'll always be asked for confirmation before installing a new app (unless you've rooted your phone to bypass that), and installing an update with a different public key with the existing version uses will fail even if you do confirm the installation.

This is an 0day public disclosure. The company affected should THANK this person for not selling the exploit on the dark web and making bank.

And this goes back to the whole "responsible vulnerability disclosure". The damned white hats want to demonize anybody not reaching out to some opaque company and being told it might be fixed in 90-360 days.

0Days are JUST AS responsible as other types of disclosure. You owe them nothing, and they owe you nothing. And you're publishing info to everyone. Information symmetry.

Well, you can certainly seed only torrents that you think are valuable and are willing to take the risk for. What happens to the content you are not willing to take the personal risk for? That's the utility of networks that value freedom of information, which achieve it by hiding what you share, even from you.

Edit: ...and importantly, from whoever can seize your computer.
Hahaha... yea.

I actually had to submit my thesis with - lets say not the best - results because I did not use the actual timesteps. My inertial navigation system for an autonomous rc model car would estimate paths that where kinda right, but always strongly distorted.

For weeks and months after the thesis defence it really bothered me and I regularly dived into the system to find the cause for it.

Some day I fiddled with the timesteps, rerun the evaluation and boom all the curves where perfectly aligned with the actual driving trajectory that we used to generate the data. I was amazed how good it now worked, and kinda sad that I could not present _these_ results for my thesis. Should have figured it out sooner. Too bad that all the literature, that I read so far, always only talked about fixed timesteps...
