Since the pico is 133 MHz and seeing the benchmark. It would be safe to say that the Coral is easily 100* faster.

I'm wondering about the price though. The ArduCam is only 35$.
People do develop Xorg (X11 is the protocol, Xorg is the software) and as long as there is at least one person "keeping the lights on" it will be developed. Hell, even if every single programmer on earth stops working on the codebase, it can still be resurrected at some point later if someone decides to work on.

Open source software is resilient to 'death' and 'abandonment' issues plaguing closed source software.

I'm writing this as someone who is using a window manager (Window Maker) whose original developers abandoned it for years, then someone else picked it up some years ago to continue development and i personally have contributed bug fixes and features to it years after both of those.

OSS doesn't die for as long as there is someone out there who is interested on it.
Not an appropriate question for HN though. Not that it makes a difference to their comment here, which is entirely reasonable.
I am not aware of any big publishers doing that. That is why I asked for an example.
It's a combination of up-down (north-south) and east-west motions. The up-down component is simple, that comes from the axial tilt.

The east-west component arises from this: When the Earth is at perihelion (January), the time from solar noon to solar noon is slightly longer, because the Earth is moving faster and farther in its orbit, so it has to rotate a bit more until the same meridian points back at the sun again. At aphelion (July), that's reversed, solar noon to solar noon is slightly shorter.

Put another way: A solar day is more than 360° of rotation relative to distant stars. It's very close to 361°, because the angle between the stars and the sun changes as the Earth advances in its orbit, by about a degree per day. At perihelion in January, it's slightly more yet again, like 361.0002°, and in July, it's 360.9998°; that difference takes a few seconds more or less to rotate. We don't vary our clocks based on that variable solar day duration; instead we fix our daily time intervals and let the sun's apparent position vary east-west slightly relative to that.

The figure-8 shape arises from the relative phase of the two cycles. The maximum velocity for the north-south component occurs at the equinoxes, while the maximum velocity for the east-west component occurs at perihelion/aphelion. On Earth, these occur at different times. Interestingly, for Mars the converse is true; its equinoxes are near its perihelion/aphelion, and so Mars's analemma is almost not a figure-8 (it is, but one lobe is very small.)
Isn't Russian under a legal obligation to not invade their neighbor and murder it's people and cities?
Even a child can understand why Europeans care about a war in Europe but not about a war in the middle east.
Except it would achieve absolutely nothing, because the vast majority of German homes are heated with oil or gas, not electricity.

The US didn't kill hundreds of thousands of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. You're conflating two entirely different things. You're pretending the US shot, bombed and killed all those civilians, when in fact that was an Iraqi-on-Iraqi sectarian civil war that produced such high civilian deaths, a civil war which the US spent enormous resources trying to stop.

Russia is directly, intentionlly killing the civilians in question in Ukraine. They're doing it on purpose, aiming for the civilians, to terrorize them into submission (and Russia has a very long history of this form of intentional terror-war against civilian populations in the name of conquest). Russia's genocide of Ukrainian civilians isn't a mistake of aiming, it's not an accident of war, it's not a whoops, they're trying to kill them and starve them (see what they're doing to Mariupol at present).

The difference between the two situations is exceptionally obvious and morally clear.
Ask HN: What advice would you offer a SaaS team working toward FedRAMP ATO?
i guess they could break the contract but then what would force russia into a new contract later on?
Not really, no. The USSR and China were pretty isolated spheres and there wasn't all that much trade between those blocks and 'the West' for a very long time. That all changed in the 80's, 90's and accelerated in the 00's.

The idea was that if we don't want to engage them in a military way in a direct confrontation that by trading so much with each other that our economies would suffer substantially from either one breaking off that we would avoid doing so. The economical version of 'MAD'. That turns out to have been a mistake. What happened between WWI and WWII is not really representative in comparison.
This article helped me a lot, it's still a large amount of information to internalise though: https://medium.com/the-guild/under-the-hood-of-reacts-hooks-...
> that were very, very happy about Windows 98, not so much about ME [0]

I disagree somewhat. The 9x family didn't handle multitasking well and had driver issues, frequently leading to lock-ups and BSODs. The architecture didn't handle isolation well, but NT did. Windows NT mostly stayed out of people's way in XP unless they looked for those menus. It was a huge problem for Vista, though.
fair enough, I saw you using the word in a different manner, my apologies.
At the same time though, their actions are the very real world murder and mutilation of innocents. Hubris or not, I think in this situation its ok to shake one's head and be pretty outraged and disappointed in their beliefs and the actions that they lead too. Not sure of the solution but one does not have to feel bad for not attempting to empathize with people that are murdering others for supernatural profit.
I’m not really sure if this was understandable, but I’m basically in the same camp as you are.

It’s next to impossible to have 100% bug free code. Automatic testing helps and TDD helps to write tests, but it’s not the goal. The goal is to create code that is well tested and easy to change.
Most people here don’t have air conditioners - more than used to, but most of the people I know here (Nürnberg area) don’t.

I feel like we temporarily dodged a bullet by sheer laziness - before the pandemic, we were all set to do the whole Energiesanierung with full KfW incentives, which would have required chucking out our oil furnace (replaced right before we bought the house a few years ago) for, most likely, natural gas. Instead, we are still sitting on 1.5 years of normal or possibly 3 years of very carefully used heating oil supply.

Now, like everyone, we’re looking into heat pumps. Because we are still sitting on a year or two of heating oil, I think we shouldn’t be competing against our gas-heated neighbors for that changeover this year or next.
>What is your lame priority for sticking with it?

Adobe and Autodesk products.

>If it's using Excel or Word with a bunch of customizations that won't work in LibreOffice, again you need to change your priorities or approach to solving the problems you did that to solve.

Only because MS is hell-bent on destroying their ecosystem. As long as Windows 10 is still receiving security updates, I can keep getting actual work done instead of investing a ton of time into things I care nothing about. I have no interest in developing office/photo/cad software, only in using those things.
It isn't that an attack was likely, it is the fact that an attack could overtake Moscow much easier if one did happen. It is like people who keep assault rifles in their home in extremely safe neighborhoods.

From Moscow's perspective Ukraine could have a Nazi party take over at some point in the future. Those Nazis may think about finishing the job Hitler failed to do and take Moscow.
My Sony a6500 has been relegated to webcam duties.
Yes, addressing that was a major theme when they redesigned the MBPs in 2021. People complained that they looked chunky compared to the sleeker 2016-2020 models but acknowledged that cool and quiet might be worth a little more utilitarian appearance.
IMO hooks are a DSL implemented in js. React went from class to function components to hooks as preferred practices. In the process, the previous was not cleaned up (until very recently, maybe still, you needed a class component to catch exceptions in a component). It feels like change for changes sake, were only new features are explored without making the whole consistent.

I like React a lot. A simple conceptual model, like elm or other frameworks mentioned here, would work better that this constant change.
You can use the debugger from Chrome dev tools to debug Node.js. Just run node with the `—-inspect-brk` flag, open `about://inspect` in Chrome, and select your app under remote targets. This has saved me tons of debugging time. See also: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/debugging-getting-started/
This is a bit of a blanket statement. It's more nuanced than this of course. If your energy generation is geographically spread out, there might not be a need for gas as a base load. Since Europe is getting more and more interconnected wrt electricity transport I suspect we'll get there sometime in the future but right now it's an issue. Different storage mechanisms will also help alleviate the issues, but that's also sometime in the future.
As JP Morgan said, a person always has two reasons for doing something: a good reason and the real reason.

I think the sympathy for Ukrainians is a bit of a pretext. It's not just a pretext, there is clearly a lot of sympathy in Europe for Ukraine, not the least because of the geographical and cultural proximity, and we all know ukrainians personally. But the real reason for Europe to be tough on Russia is because Russia is now directly threatening EU countries (Baltic states, Poland, etc). And I do not understand how we can justify financing what has become a direct enemy.

Which is why an equivalence with Yemen or any other conflict, no matter how violent it is, isn't really convincing.
Research pays for itself with grants. That's not a conflict

Sports teams in theory pay for themselves with revenue. That's a matter of accounting and debate, but in theory it's just recreation. It's not really a conflict.

Marketable skills vs "how to think" is basically the domain of knowledge you study. Want more skills? pick that major. These can all coexist in the same institution and have for 100s? 1000s? of years.

The issue is the financing, facilities bloat, marketing on the basis of non-academics, inabiility to properly measure academic value, class paranoia, and the rise of the vampire administration class has blown out the cost of a high-reputation degree by a factor of 10.

Universities used to do its core activities/competencies with much less opulent housing, unnecessary buildings, basic auditoriums and rooms, basic labs. I'll put aside research here since grants will fund the facilities they need to do the research. Sports teams should theoretically self-fund their own facilities.

The issue is the bloated cost vs the value of the degree.

What the country needs is high-reputation high-value degrees from very modest/focused institutions. Like military-style boot camps (in terms of austerity, not authoritarianism) where you are focused on the mission of gaining knowledge and not about living in a cool dorm room, watching a good football team, drinking to oblivion. Those are ancillary, they can be there, but they can't be the focus.

That comes down to the institution mission, and selecting students in the right way.

Colleges used to be based on the quality of the people that come out of the institution. Now they are too broadly graded on non-academic and non-performance.
It did create extra few devices that can be used to escalate on and send messages using towards a declaration of a war. Ain’t stupid if it works I guess.

e: also: didn’t verify but seen on social media that there had been studies on general difficulties of construction for nuclear plants, and apparently in one such data, it was estimated that 3-6 times more machinery such as valves, pumps, motors, etc would be necessary compared to other types of generator[, and industries in some nations had declined compared to golden ages that they would no longer be able to source that amount]. Everyone can make a nuke but not necessarily at scale, it seems.
Yes, in that in both cases the District Court is the main trial court, above which sit appellate courts.
Especially when Saudi oil would be used to substitute for Russian oil. It's not really moral to buy Saudi oil instead given that the Saudi conduct of warfare in Yemen is worse than the Russian conduct of warfare in Ukraine.
Those 10 years require the use of fracking, which is I think too bad for the environment, especially for a country as densely populated as Germany. The resources that don't require fracking are only enough for 1-2 years of consumption at current levels.
I agree that a cookie banner is pointless. But they are even on government websites, so obviously something has gone terribly wrong along they way (hint: lobbyism).

My thinking goes like this:

1. The law explicitly talks of requesting consent.

2. Incentives will drive actors to request additional permissions if possible (you always get some legal, can claim ignorance, etc)

3. People get constant intrusions wasting our collective time and attention on an enormous scale.

The current law is encouraging this type of user-hostile behavior. This is stating an objective fact, since the current situation is clearly a result of the current law.

If any type of consent-banner or opt-in method is allowed, industry groups will lobby for loopholes they can use to trick users using whatever mechanism the law leaves at their disposal.

Just outright ban the use of cross-site tracking and user profiling. We don't have a societal need for this to be legal.
I'm finding that programming language articles by JavaScript developers are a lot like Gang-of-Four Design Patterns in the following way.

When you translate them to Lisp, they either disappear entirely or greatly simplified.
What you are suggesting here is equivalent to blowing up a bridge and then suggesting that there are other ways to cross a river.

Yes, there are other oil and gas suppliers. No, Germany and the EU cannot just suddenly switch.

Fools for relying on Russian energy in the first place.
> Note that "made ... a priority" does not necessarily mean "got involved in actual decisions"

But it means, he and nobody else made ... a priority.
That's also very welcome, it's more or less a platform for any sort of imagery
I'll +1 Zig code, but I came here to say this about Go as well. Once Go codebases creep past medium sized (25-50k LOC perhaps) into large I find them to be inscrutable. I've noticed this even in projects that people in the community point to as the gold standard such as the various HashiCorp tools.

I don't write much Go anymore but my hunch is that it's a combination of the package layout and auto method delegation for embedded structs. Even Java does a much better job of helping the developer at obviating the interfaces between different subsystems.
I didn't sign up for a war
I'm now convinced that Russia would lose a conventional military fight against a quarter of the force of NATO.
Exactly this, also the iPhone "helps" you by sometimes digitally cropping the 1x image to the 3x field of view if the result from the 3x lens was not judged to be good enough.

It has always done this to some extent, but as the other link I posted ([1]) describes, this both happens more frequently with the 3x lens on the 13 Pro than the 2x lens on previous generations because the 3x zoom has a smaller aperture than the 2x, and also the effect is more noticeable, because it's blowing a 1x image up to 3x rather than 2x.

I hope Apple will offer some facility to tweak this in future as it seems to me it frequently chooses digital zoom rather than the zoom lens even in "not that challenging" conditions. I do get why they'd do this though – the reality is that if it always used the zoom lens, you'd end up with a lot more noisy/blurred photos due to physics – but it would be nice to say "I'm OK with that"!

One other thing I should mention is that you can't set a third party camera app as the default, so the camera button on the lock screen always opens the stock camera. In practice I don't find this a huge issue, as if I'm grabbing a quick snapshot from the lock screen it might be of some fleeting moment, in which case I'd probably rather get a usable digitally zoomed image, than a blurry optical zoom one.

Upgrading the RAM to 4GB and adding a SSD (the cheapest SATA one will do) will make a huge difference.
For casual gaming I don’t think you can do better than the XBOX Series S, insane amount of power for £250
The difference between London and, say Paris, Amsterdam or Berlin is that the UK hasn't had a democratic revolution since Cromwell or land reform. Its entire political, legal and economic structure is organized to protect the interests of the aristocracy starting with the Queen, including such things as draconian libel laws whose intent is illustrated by the jailing of Oscar Wilde for daring to importune a Marquess. The hereditary aristocracies of every other European country have been successfully defanged. No wonder why Russian oligarchs felt so congenial (except for the old money turning its nose down at them).

The name on the Google Store is now "rif is fun for Reddit"; I'm not sure that's a great example. It still has Reddit in the name. If you do it right, it doesn't matter if the other party is upset about it. They can be upset all they want; you're allowed to do it to show interoperability.

Should web pages have this kind of API? We seem to be repeating the mistakes of activeX but this time with JavaScript.
I really like DWM: https://git.suckless.org/dwm/

If you have a Linux machine, you can compile and install manually by just following the instructions on the README.

Then you can customize the window manager by copying and pasting the patches into your version and recompiling. That forces you to learn how to build and extend your own window manager in pure C. And it isn’t hard at all, even to a beginner.

That inspired the creation of many tiling window managers, because people understood the code and decided to build their own, like i3 or xmonad.

The project also features other easy to read C apps, like ST terminal and the surf web browser.
An article talking about photos that has no photos in it, huh.
I don’t think even the RPA department will disagree on that one.

But while the 3rd 100million project to rewrite that legacy, proprietary cobolt data app is faltering, the RPA department is actually making it accessible via a rest api that activates a virtual mouse that clicks around and ctr+c,ctr-v the result back to the user.

The curse of building great digital infrastructure in the 80s is you might get stuck with it 40 years later.
That's very nice dead-bug work. I'm surprised he didn't stake the wires or encapsulate the whole thing in glue, but since he brought everything out to tiny LEDs placed between pads, maybe staking was neither necessary nor convenient.
This has come up many times by now. But the supposed transition to renewable energy in Germany was merely a substitution of natural gas for nuclear power.

What bothers me greatly is that Germany still has not come to turns with the fact that they need nuclear power. That is a long and costly investment to make and you need to start right away.

LNG can only get you so far and renewable sources just can't provide the energy needed, as should be clear by now (although it was widely understood for the past 30 years at least).
CSU (a conservative / right) is the only party that strongly is in favor of the 10H rule, which is responsible for stopping wind energy (it says that people need to have a distance of 10*heightOfThePlant to the plant

what you call environmentalists are mostly NIMBYs. The green party, actually, is in favor of abandoning 10H.
> This war started over one party having lots of demands and not even recognizing the other party as sovereign

Can you name the party?

if you say Russia, put yourself on their shoes and answer the question, if you see NATO expanding to your borders together with the country ruled by people like Geroge Bush, Hillary Clinton (see how she is happy for destroying whole nation and their government: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlz3-OzcExI), Joe Biden (I was suggesting we bomb Belgrade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vei_18YcC6E) and Colin Powell who blatantly lied about bio weapons and illegally invaded another country, would you believe their word and allow them to expand to Ukraine? Country fighting for free speech who put Julian Assange on jail because he exposed US crime?

I wouldn't believe, I don't agree with Putin on starting war, but I also believe, he didn't wake up with migraine and decided to start a war, no he was pushed to this war
And Germany has a third blow coming if Xi decides to invade Taiwan, and Europe decides to stop trade with China in retaliation (given the high dependence of the German economy on exports to China).
wordI think it can be hard to recommend a particular codebase, well written code can be good to read but if you want to become better at a language or problem domain then sometimes reading badly written code may be a better way to learn.

Working through some badly written code that actually performs well can be a real eye opener. I mainly work in C and reading some legacy code (sometimes even my own) can be a challenge to work out exactly what's going on.

If you want to learn how an algorithm works, then a good clean codebase with lots of comments is a good way to go. If you want to learn the details of a particular language, then just read a lot of code in that language whether it’s good or bad.
Your premise isn't really comparable, not least due to its unrealism. However, generically, if Ukraine invades somebody's country under similar circumstances to Russia's, then yes, absolutely.
I would recommend looking into what Doug Engelbart was on about.

This also makes massive sense to me:

I basically believe the future of humanity lies in collaboration. As problems increase in complexity, we increasingly need to collaborate to identify the relevant problems, understand them, formulate solutions, experiment and implement them.
