Honorable mention for microsoft windows where entering an IP address/netmask in the ipv4 adapter config screen requires you to enter digits into four tiny text boxes where tab moves your cursor to the next IP address instead of selecting the next part of the current IP address.
Whatever your stance is, I think COVID showed how ineffective the federal government is in the face of a crisis. Imagine if COVID was more severe or something else entirely, we'd all be dead before our elected officials could figure out how it can benefit them. Pin it on incompetence, negligence, political grandstanding--the federal government could not contain the crisis and was always months behind what we needed.

We were mass producing ventilators when we should've been mass producing tests or masks, we were going maskless based on trailing data instead of the current spikes etc. It was like a shitty game of telephone where people died because the messaging became so delayed and distorted.
Just look at the prices on their website.
I find myself really inspired by the work The Consilience Project and a few other people are putting out about sensemaking, consensus building, and maybe generally empathy.

I've started to feel that it might be my answer to "The Hamming Question." [0]

I'm a burnt out software engineer. Do you have any advice on careers to explore to work on the above societal issue?

[0]: > Mathematician Richard Hamming used to ask scientists in other fields "What are the most important problems in your field?" partly so he could troll them by asking "Why aren't you working on them?" and partly because getting asked this question is really useful for focusing people's attention on what matters.
Have you tried this one ?

> technological progress is still going on, but it's more "your smartphone can now do what your desktop PC did 20 years ago, or your laptop did 10 years ago"

In terms of tech that would excite a geeky kid, I think it's more like "you can now buy a $1 microcontroller that's as powerful as desktop PC from 30 years ago". Which is pretty exciting as it means you can throw computing power at all sorts of real world automated which wasn't feasible for a hobbyist before.

TL;DR The modern equivalent of a programmable calculator is an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi not a smartphone.
You're assuming Russians will just keep on as they are as if nothing happens. But it's not guaranteed. What if they repurpose a plant or two to making the cheapest tanks possible, let's say T-34? What if they call a general draft?
Local companies, usually not technology companies.
There’s also the serial console one could use
Where do the claims about battery life come from ? I couldn't find any independent review (yet) and I don't see any mention of it on their website.
I'm the same - I can count on one hand how many times a year I take a pain killer.
However, I have horrendous allergies all year round, so that balances out my suffering :)
In my home city the OWS movement denigrated into a homeless encampment with a handful of banners and sign waivers. I don’t think a neoliberal media was the culprit because from the beginning the local movement lacked any sense of cohesion or the coordination required to exert pressure on local politicians. The righteous anger burned bright for a few months then slowly faded and nothing really came of it. I distinctly remember a lack of a figurehead and a lack of specific reform they wanted to get people to support.
I get medical bills from different providers. All of them provide me an account code to enter.

The instructions tell me to enter the account code "exactly" as on the paper.

Except for the fact that it starts with <letter><dash>. I'm supposed to omit that part...

As a webdev I just really want to submit a PR.

The US did have the moral high ground, which is a remarkable thing given what we're talking about: that's how horrific what China is doing is.

Were the Japanese released from that internment? Yes. Were they genocided? No. Were they stripped of their culture, heritage, social lives, and tortured for decades due to their beliefs? No. Does the US today recognize the Japanese internment as a moral crime? Yes.

That last one is a critical difference between cultures.

In China today you can't even discuss what's going on in Xinjiang.

You are of course lambasting the US, on a US website. Nothing bad will happen to you because of that. And in this thread you won't find thousands of bots attempting to say that the Japanese internment is ok, or otherwise justify that it should have happened; instead, most of the replies are fully agreeing that it was atrocious. Try that in China, see what happens.
A Tale of Two Invasions: Belgium in 1914 and Ukraine in 2022
Ah, so are you saying

* "We" had a weak sense of our true gender at age 4

* "We" have a strong sense of our true gender now

* Transgender people had a strong sense of their true gender at age 4

> From what I can tell, the vast majority of transgender people will tell you they became aware of it in early childhood. Why would they lie? I can't come up with a speculation that doesn't sound like an absurd straw man.

I think it would strengthen your argument if everyone who had a strong sense of being transgender at age 4 maintained that sense into adulthood. I don't know how one would find that out though.
The only real advantage cloud has for science is object storage

As someone who has done a fair bit of HPC I consider the real advantage to be temporary scalability. If my 'normal' compute notes have 128 GB of RAM and all of a sudden I have job that need 300 GB or RAM, with cloud I can just change a line in a config file and run that calculation on a machine with 300 GB of RAM. Or if I have a job that will optimally run on 100s of 1-core machines with only 4 GB of RAM I can set up a cluster of such machines with in minutes.

That being said I 100% agree that if you have a normal baseline workload that should absolutely be done on in house hardware.
To be fair to libertarian types (conservative isn't all that Liberal these days...), the critique of progressive ideas is that they never reach their real benefits and instead get sidetracked (corrupted), but not before concentrating power among the elites again.

Point being, this post seems to be describing that outcome.
Whoops, looks like I should've posted this as a link rather than text containing a link. Here's something clickable: https://blog.luitjes.it/posts/monocle-bidirectional-code-gen...
There has, yes. Straight from the Senate. [1]

There's a 300 million dollar budget to counter "chinese influence" and "promote transparency." Where does that money go? Who knows. But traditionally this goes to paying for media narratives, and in the 21st century, online comments are definitely a good bang for your buck. And star witnesses are also a good way to counter the influence of a country and demand transparency. They've done it before. [2]

I don't think we'll know the reality of this until 20 years down the road.

From the article :

"In 1914, as in 2022, the invasion of one country by its neighbor spawned an instantaneous global reaction. Neither invader had envisioned such opposition when they deployed their armies. Centuries ago, the Italian statesman and theoretician of international relations, Niccolò Machiavelli, appreciated the unpredictability of war and declared: “Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please.”

No, you can't boot into ARM code without it.
ARM part is disabled power-on, VPU is a general purpose processor really.
Basically, on start-up it loads its start.elf (i.e. boot application compiled for its instruction set) from boot-media, initializes some hardware, then loads ARM boot image into common memory, then starts ARM.
It also exposes some low-level hardware interface via syscall-type "mailbox" interface.
I don’t think it was ever cool & it’s kind of always been a low status job as far as white collar stuff goes. Lots of negative stereotypes about us.
No, the legal system in the US absolutely does not have the resources to give a jury trial to everyone charged with a crime.

"According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (2005), in 2003 there were 75,573 cases disposed of in federal district court by trial or plea. Of these, about 95 percent were disposed of by a guilty plea (Pastore and Maguire, 2003). While there are no exact estimates of the proportion of cases that are resolved through plea bargaining, scholars estimate that about 90 to 95 percent of both federal and state court cases are resolved through this process (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2005; Flanagan and Maguire, 1990)."

"...Plea bargaining results in disparate treatment concerning both legal and extralegal characteristics, especially regarding those who are more likely to be granted lenient sentences."

Does anyone remember what it was like growing up in the 90's when people would pay $100/month for television that was 33% ads? Life was miserable before most of us had Internet access. I think there's simply no comparison. Also does anyone remember what it was like back then trying to sell software? I remember back in 2003 whenever I wrote a piece of software, for every guy who paid me $20 via paypal for it, there'd be ten guys on cracker forums geeking out trying to unravel my protection schemes like a puzzle to be solved. I'm honestly shocked tech has an economy at all considering our industry gives everything away for free. Think about how much leverage industries like health care hold over people's lives, cause bankruptcies, and then compare that to tech products collecting usage analytics. Once again, there's simply on comparison. The tech industry is absolutely the most benevolent force for good these last few decades. And for what it's worth, there's always FOSS which is not only free but maximally respects your privacy even more. Support the people building it. These are all choices we simply didn't have in the past.
To be fair, it's roughly the same death count now with most people barely (if at all) paying attention, versus the first wave when most people were locking down and wouldn't even go to the park.

Part of the "crisis" feeling of the first wave was the unknown (and likely much higher) death count that could arrive if we didn't take action.
In my case, cat6 cables and the added price of a 10G RJ-45 switch would have been more expensive than a 10G SPF+ switch and some twinax & fiber cables. Amazon has finished SPF-to-SPF assemblies for €10=$12. And for TP-Link, RJ-45 is like 1.5x the price of SPF+ equipment. Also, RJ-45 has a fixed minimum latency, due to it needing to support backwards-compatibility with 1G 100M etc. That means you need much larger send/transmit buffers to saturate the link as ping goes up. Especially if you need multiple hops, fiber is just faster. In my tests, 0.2ms vs 3ms roundtrip time for 10G SPF vs. 10G RJ-45.
Removing misinformation from Russia is a strange one to attack them for... considering the Russian invasion is about as non partisan of an issue (in the US at least) as I have seen in a long time.

Regardless, search engines have to rank content somehow. We need to stop throwing around "politics" when something doesn't fit your particular narrative.
>And somehow, that concern exists only when Russia is trying to excuse invasion by bioweapons labs. Somehow, magically, this concern did not existed before, nor in other countries and stopped existing as it turned out not many people are buying it as excuse for invasion.

Seriously, like are we supposed to believe Russia has no biological labs? Or that only Russia is allowed to, and not other countries like Ukraine?

I have a Pebble Time in my pulse now. Have one more in a box for the day this one fails and a Pebble original in a drawer. I also keep spare batteries to fix them.

I make my own watchfaces and customized some apps to my needs: authenticator (for 2 factor authentications), skunk (with bar codes to use in place of physical cards), ...

Pebble was a brilliant product that didn't succeed. When so many horrible products succeed in this industry it is sad that being good is not enough.
There have been about 24,000 people under age 40 who died from COVID-19 in the US during the pandemic. Suicide data is not available for 2021/2022 yet, but based the age ratio of past suicides (around 50% of suicides below age 40) and the total number of suicides in 2020 (around 40,000), then the number of suicides is likely to be higher than the number of COVID deaths but in the same qualitative arena.

Further apples to apples comparison is tough because kids 0-5 die of COVID but the US does not record any death below age 5 as a suicide.

A related comparison: more school age children died of COVID during the pandemic than have ever across all history died from school shootings.
This is the perfect example. For instance, I don't need Traits or Async or generics for embedded. I can pass a struct into functions as I've been doing my whole life. Async is not supported (but I can generate my own interrupt-driven state machines).

In C I don't have an "abstract and async traits interface". I wouldn't even imagine why I need one "in the language". Do I need one? Does a bluetooth stack or kernel driver need one? I can make a struct with pointers to functions, and there you have an "interface", done with the basic elements the language provides.

I undertand that these features are a "nice-to-have plus", but what all these updates actually generate in a system/embedded developer like me is fatigue, and not only at cognitive level but also "I've changed compiler version and I have to revalidate all over again". Why? some purple-haired 25 years old across the ocean needed an "abstract and async traits interface". Now the bread on my family table depends on what they've changed.

I imagine that perhaps Rust tries to make everyone happy, but here are my two cents from my PoV.
Neat idea and a cool project.

That something like this is necessary is yet another testament to the complexity of Kubernetes.
Your criticism of people who believe it's still a crisis would carry more weight if about 500 people/day weren't dying of Covid[1] right now (average based on the last week - https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/#graph-...). That's definitely less than the 4000+ deaths per day at peak, but it's still quite a lot.

[1] Or 'with Covid' if you believe those people just happen to be dying of something else while having Covid.

Limitations and constraints matter. Technology is often the most fun when you have to be creative to solve a problem. My first programming was on TI-85 calculator in high school circa 1995 making crappy games. There wasn’t even a proper keyboard, just the number keys and plethora of other scientific keys.

Now JavaScript and other web technologies have made it so easy to build full blown games in the browser. Ironically because it’s less constrained it’s harder to make something good.

When everyone has access to technology creativity matters more. I like Nintendo’s philosophy, find cheap off the shelf technology and make something fun. Because they are not competing in a graphics arms race they focus on gameplay. The goal is “fun” not “technology.”

I echo other comments about age factoring in. When tech is a thing to play with its fun, when it’s work it’s not fun. We all have that inner child inside, the challenge is finding ways to bring it out.
I used to do Cologne-Munich _all_the_effing_time (~600km, door-to-door 6-7h, depending on connection). You can save about 1h by taking a flight, but then you'll never have a solid chunk of at least one 1h to do anything within.

And that's given the current shitty track system. The only bit of genuine high-sped rail on that connection is Frankfurt-Cologne, maybe a quarter of the trip. Top speed is around 300 km/h on that bit; otherwise around 200, sometimes less. One point of comparison: The fully modernized Berlin-Munich track is about the same length; some trains take less than 4 h and that's with stops along the way.

This is a trip that I'm very familiar with, but it's very typical [0]. Note that some countries have chosen different tradeoffs - e.g., France and Spain with their ultra-fast point-to-point connections, eschewing a more dense high-speed net.

The point of all this being: Trains already work great, and can still get quite a bit better with investment - certainly quite some ways above 600 km trips.

I wouldn't look at trip time alone, but uninterrupted time during which you can do work. On most brief flights there barely is any. By contrast, for a business traveler, a long high-speed rail trip can simply be the first part of the day.

I gave you an answer. You can suck it up, complain, or leave. And yes, those choices are unpleasant.

If this was supposed to be a 'actually it all comes down to the threat of violence' gotcha then, sure - if you insist on your property rights, don't pay your taxes and then decide to fight the bailiffs you're going to have a bad time. Sorry.
Golden age was more around the time of Thomas Was Alone, Super Meat Boy, Spelunky, Binding of Isaac etc. There was a low barrier to entry, but also a low saturation. One good piece of polish or gimmick was enough to hook people. This was also around the time many of the titles mentioned by GP got initial backing and before people got extremely skeptical of crowdfunding games.

Since then the market has gotten way more saturated. Games have gotten way higher demands on all three fronts of polish (gameplay, audio, visual). If not a roguelike / player-generated content game / simple loop, lack of content is even more killer (which is why so many indies are either arcade, sims or roguelikes, compared to AAA games). Even several of the titles mentioned in the comments would rather come out with sequels building upon their success or games highly similar to what they made before, than experiment. Most indies I checked who deviated too far from their big hit (devs from Castle Crashers, Deathroad to Canada, Binding of Isaac) had nowhere near the same level of success. Not too bad considering they can coast by just off of their main hit's success, but it does illustrate the lack of moderate success.

Or you can try make a big hit with a meme game (anime optional) and be forgotten in the next 2-5 years.
Given ~67k deaths under 50 years old total from COVID [0] and over 100k overdose deaths in 2021 alone [1], I'll wager heavily that is not true for the under 50 crowd.

about having a nice, expensive ceramic toilet, which could upgrade a typical "hole in the floor"

Obviously that is perfectly reasonable and no doubt happens. However the original comment was about "soldiers stole their toilet seats to take home because they could not imagine the magic of flush toilets." That I do not believe.
> Exactly, and you need rolling resistance for traction.

No, you don’t. Look at e.g. gears: almost no friction, perfect traction.

> Which is why you don't ship hay on trains

No. You don’t ship it on trains because that is uneconomic. You keep your cattle close to your hay producing fields, where they can also graze.

Also, by your reasoning, an empty train would not be able to move?
> Great, income inequality, important subject to tackle. Are we going to get creative, involve serious people, suggest intelligent chang--

Arguably, Occupy was just the start. I'd say it did end up setting the groundwork for doing much more. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaigns, for example.
But we do try to make things right for US citizens (and often foreigners) inside our own borders. What happens inside your borders is way more important than outside.

I don't think what we've done in the middle east is remotely good but it's substantially different.

>According to the Pi Foundation, this is because simple peripherals are too easy to clone and they need to recoup their investment in accessory design.

I find this completely fair, but then maybe don't call yourself a "charity" and an "open platform" and just be upfront that you need to lock down your hardware to recoup the investment.
The keyword is “laptop market”. There were quite a few years where it looked like they were going to completely kill their desktops (nothing released for years after the trash can), and doing everything they could to make laptop users unhappy (butterfly keyboard, touch bar). iPhones, iPads, and services (Music, etc.) were “clearly” going to usher in the post-PC future, and given how Apple usually drags people along, it seemed clear that that’s where they were going with things.

Then the M1 came out, and they backpedaled on the mistakes they were making on laptops (ports, keyboard, etc.), and laptop users were able to feel like they weren’t using a dying form factor anymore.
It doesn't say that - it says they found his income too inconsistent, year to year.
Many complaints are around about how QT isn’t FOSS, licensing is costly, etc. is everyone happy with its performance as a product and framework, though?

We purchased a small business license for QT 5 and I’ve never hated a framework more. It was clunky, resource consuming, surprisingly challenging to build in the way we needed, difficult to work with, etc. No engineer wanted to touch the gui codebase until we moved off of it.

Most of the use cases where I see people sing it’s praises are the python framework rather than the C++ one, but are we really the only people who had this negative of an experience?
Show HN: Discover the IndieWeb, one blog post at a time
Inspired by the "Ask HN: Share your personal site" last week, I finally came around and built a thing I wanted for a long time: a simple website to randomly explore all the awesome personal blogs without having to subscribe to them all.

So this is what I built over the weekend. You click a button and indieblog.page will redirect you to a random page from a personal page...

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.
> My point was that didn't happen. If we were putting people there solely for their religion and ethnicity, it'd be much more than a thousand. It would be millions... like in Xinjiang.

Tens of thousands passed through Abu Ghraib too in Iraq. A truckload of torture and prisoner abuse done to people of only ONE ethnicity. People lost limbs in prison. No one in the US administration paid for these crimes against humanity.

Some folks in the US govt who were in explicit favour of hard intervention in Iraq and who were deeply influential in igniting the Iraq war are the same ones criticising China now. (Hint: Under Secretary of State). So, yes, it is definitely sanctimonious and ridiculous hypocrisy.

Not you personally, but I assumed you were supporting the US government in this stance. If not, I apologize.
