> * Don't underestimate the number of services you can having running in containers on a Raspberry Pi 4B with 8GB of RAM, sipping just 2.1W (yes, that little!) at idle over PoE or as low as 1.35W over WiFi powered by USB-C. With distributions like DietPi you can have a mere 10 processes at startup (using just 44MiB of RAM), but still all the flexibility in the world.

I've been disappointed in the general reliability, terrible IO, and heat/power of the RPI4. I'm getting rid of them in favor of second hand thin clients.
I saw an event in Argentina called fuck up nights. I think its something global

"Understanding Digital Computers : A Self-learning Programmed Text That Will Teach You the Basics for the Microcomputer Revolution" by Forrest M. Mims III.

It's dated, but the core material is still relevant. Even the dated sections might suit you if you're interested in the history.

In a similar same vein, a few years ago I wrote a course which starts with the idea of a bit and ends with the student programming a computer that they built themselves in a logic simulator.

https://john.daltons.info/teaching/engineering/

The first few lessons meander, as I was still figuring out a direction, so the meat starts at lesson 3. The last lessons are missing (roundtoit), but if there is interest I can put them on-line. From memory all the examples are on-line. Here is the final computer:

https://john.daltons.info/teaching/engineering/simcirjs/comp...

In this example a program is already in memory, so just push "run/stop" to make it run. The instruction set isn't on-line, as it's in the later lessons, which I haven't gotten around to uploading.
You're mistaking the consumerist urges that a lot of people partake in their hobbies and the idea of a homelab itself. A homelab can be overspec'd ubiquiti gear or it could be a RasPi running a bunch of services. It's just one or more servers that sit on your home network that you can fuck around with. Yeah, I guess something you care for stability with doesn't necessarily constitute the "lab" distinction, but a lot of times these stable things come out of experimenting in a homelab.

My "media server" (browser and downloaded media played via smplayer on a stock Ubuntu install) emerged from an experimental server running a lightweight distro that I used to do anything and everything from. Once I found that which parts of the media usecase fit into my partner and my lifestyle, it graduated to a stable decently-specced Ubuntu machine that is rarely touched other than for updates and downloading new content.
Does it avoid setting off Epic’s garbage EAC software?

Most of the other lighting software sets it off because for whatever reason, they appear to do something with running processes or windows registry or something that causes EAC to panic and crash my computer. The default ASUS motherboard lighting controls set it off because apparently they aggressively reach into the running game binary in order to set the lighting appropriately.

Could you tell more about self-flying drones. Are they part of some project / program? Is there a website?
I imagine that a lot of people from bigger metro areas, when they talk about going "rural", are imagining living on the outskirts of a city like Asheville or Burlington, or somewhat close by to the city, not full-on "the nearest major grocery store is 50 miles away".
I assure you you don't need invites for everything. Not sure if you read the whole article, but there are plenty of links that provide groups to join. At least you tried it though. Sorry to hear it's not your thing.
There is a truth to what both of you are saying. Because from what I know Kamala is disliked among both Indian citizens and Inner-city black communities.
Honestly friend, it’s intense but I wouldn’t change any of it for the entire world.
Hi, what sorts of companies are in that area please?
> What’s the use of it? No not the use as in tickling the fancy of tinkerers and technically enthused ones - but a general use case for “normal” people like there is - Facebook, BitTorrent, Tor, Google, Amazon, Reddit.

As I understand it, the idea is that it combines 3 things: an OS, a p2p network, and an identity.

All three work in service towards the single goal of: providing a means through which people can take control and ownership of their digital life. Not control in the sense of “I’m no longer addicted to Facebook” but control in the sense of “I talk with the people I want in the means that I want without needing to worry about the corporation who’s software I’m using cutting me off on a whim.”

The OS is there since what is currently available is deemed too complex, and will only ever get more complex. So regular people won’t ever run their own servers.

The p2p network is there to allow people to talk and work together without needing to go through another company.

The identity is there to tie everything you do across different parts of the network together under a single. They’re sold as NFTs with a finite supply as their counter measure to Sybil attacks.
The roads in Hampstead where I live are too narrow for two cars to pass in opposite directions, but are not made one-way, which is a prescription for gridlock, and this is hardly central. Then you have blocks like this one in Belsize Park that is nearly a kilometer long and and an impassable obstacle to traffic flowing NW—>SE towards Central London:

The more assumptions you relax, the more general the algorithms become, for example going from immediate reward to delayed reward means going from supervised to reinforcement learning.

The trade-off is the more general algorithms needs many times exponentially more data and compute to come to a similarly good solution.

That's why reinforcement learning has seen so practical few applications relative to supervised learning. There's no free lunch.

That said, as a ML practitioner I would love it if I could just apply a single master algorithm to all problems, but that is likely many years away.
One can use postMessage but if everything lives on the same domain one can top.frames["left"] in stead of window and call functions or manipulate the dom.

You had me play with framesets for a bit.

document.write((function(){switch(window.name){

case "main": switch(location.search){
case "?foo": return `<base target="top"></head><body>Article text`;
default: return `no article selected`;
}

case "menu": switch(location.search){
case "?bar": return `<base target="main"></head><body>List of <a></a>'s`;
case "?youtube": return `<base target="main"></head><body><list of youtube.com/embed/ links`;
default: return `please make your selection on the left`;
}

case "left": return `<base target="menu"></head><body> list of <a href="?youtube"> links`;

default: return `
<frameset cols="15%,85%">
<frame name="left" src="index.html" />
<frameset rows="30%,70%">
<frame name="menu" src="index.html" />
<frame name="main" src="index.html" />
</frameset>
</frameset>`;

}})());

I laughed so hard writing that.
It isn't. But in a show called "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power", you're going to have a lot of lesbian relationships if the cast ends up mostly paired. But there's a mix of relationships.
I got to the end of Turing’s cathedral, but it wasn’t an easy ride. I didn’t pick up the Princeton Ad vibe, but it was definitely all over the place and not focussed on the core story that I was interested in, which was von Neumann’s machine.

I did learn a lot from the book, so in that regard I’d recommend it. But as a ok it’s nowhere near “Soul of a new machine”.
That is how smarthome retrofits usually happen, but not new builds.
Where I can get away with it, I try to insist on an agenda or a document framing the issue to be discussed in the meeting. About 30% of the time we can reach a resolution without the meeting. Similarly I try to have documents and wiki pages ready so that many Slack pings can be resolved with, “try this out, let me know if you need any help with it” instead of escalating into a meeting.

Occasionally someone does feel insulted or put off by the clear subtext that I don’t want to meet with them but most are grateful to be unblocked. Know your audience, I guess.

Seconded, seek professional help. It worked really well for me. So much better than anything you’ll hear from randos on the net.
Desi here, like Tulsi more than Kamala. I'd say Kamala is more disliked than the average white person too, because she panders so incompetently. I have not heard great things about Pramila Jayapal either.
Yes, but typically when you're losing money like that you show user growth on the other side to justify it. Twitter doesn't have that.
It’s bubbling up from cloistered academia. Not corporations. Corporations do the bare minimum to get the annoying people to shut up
And then there's the question of whether suicide is necessarily bad.

The assisted-suicide folks argue that some suicide is arguably better than the alternatives.

20-30 years ago, Time Magazine did a "here's a picture of everyone in the US who died by gun during {interval}" issue. (I think that the interval was one week.)

I remember thinking that the vast majority of the suicides seemed reasonable.
As an ESL speaker I can confidently tell you that in French the correct term, approved by the "Office québécois de la langue française" (Québec's office of the French language), for mainboard and motherboard is "carte mère" (carte<->board and mère<->mother).

Even google translate mainboard to "carte mère" !!!
Look at the TMM series at servethehome.com. They go over vendors, models, specs of the 1L segment as well as the new/used market for them.

It's generally a really good form factor for a small server. The only things most people sometimes wish they had in them is 2.5-10GBE instead of the stock 1GB, and formal ECC support.
I did something like this as an April Fool's prank on the head of the marketing department at the place I worked once.

Had it load a completely different CSS when the logged in user was her account. Good times.
You may be surprised to learn that there are more races/ethnicities than "white" and "black".

It's true that SF has lost a lot of black people, but the proportion of white people is lower in 2020 than it was in 2010, which is lower than it was in 2000, etc. This is because of the Hispanic and Asian populations, plus mixed-race people.

> I especially love the "white" part when the less urban SouthWest has the highest black population in the US

I don't doubt that you can find rural areas that are mostly black, but what do you mean by "less urban Southwest"?
Lost it
Saw a comment on another Netflix post recently along the same lines as this article. It makes me think that the next logical step for Netflix is to move into a different type of media Ex: Spotify, music → podcasts. I think there's a lot of potential for Netflix to go into music, although smarter minds than me will have to figure out how to monetize in a way that makes any sense in a world where Spotify already exists.
YouTube repeatedly tries to steer my recommendations from the content I'm watching (stuff on terrain making and miniature wargames) to decidedly alt-right content, to the point that at the moment, I mostly watch it logged out and directly searching for the channels I want to watch.
The MIT Press has published a fairly large set of books, mostly about IBM, that I found very useful for understanding the 1950s (and for IBM the early-mid 1960s as in the System/360). I would start with Project Whirlwind: The history of a pioneer computer by Kent C Redmond, that's a Digital Press as in DEC book, that computer by and large defined a great many standards in the way we build computers to this day, and that project also developed the first sane type of RAM, core memory.

The MIT Press books describe IBM starting in the punched card data processing era, how the above intersected with IBM in the SAGE project, and much more. IBM defined a great deal of what was used for a long time by many companies due to a previous punched card anti-trust settlement which required them to FRAND license their patents. So their electromechanical wizzardry turned to computer systems like the half-inch reel to reel tape became ubiquitous, was still the thing in the first part of my computing career.

DEC also published some good books about its history, I can look those up if you want.

These are some of the topics I've found to be very interesting, there's of course lots more published by them and others. But I like to focus on what became wildly successful, or what caused a company like IBM to falter very badly like when it become dogmatic in the System/360 days that virtual memory was a bad thing and would not be supported, in one stroke costing them the high end academic market and eventually resulting in their becoming a niche player.

For DEC, a study of the PDP-6/10 and PDP-11 is a necessity if you want follow my interests, the former became a dominant replacement for IBM computers, the latter was the system UNIX first became big on.
If we're picking anything I want tactical nukes.

So what if I turn my country into a radioactive dump. It's my radioactive dump and you'll only get it over my dead body.

The good news is that those who are against this stuff may be pleased to know you're not alone --- roughly half of the Americans on one side of the political spectrum would agree with you.

The bad news is that Google and seemingly the rest of Big Tech are all sitting solidly on one side, and amongst all this "diversity and inclusion" talk, there is basically no thought given about diversity and inclusion of the political kind. Given the power that Google has over "speech", perhaps some sort of equality of political representation "affirmative action" needs to happen to it too?

I work as a software engineer for Veterans United Home Loans, their headquarters is in Columbia, Missouri. One of my coworkers lives 20 minutes from work and has a stable and owns horses. It was rated one of the best places to work for this year by Fortune Magazine and honestly as a developer I feel pretty spoiled. I’ll be straight, salaries aren’t going to match what you’ll get working remotely for a job on the coast, but it’s more than enough to live the pastoral lifestyle you seem to be looking for.

Also it’s a college town so there’s night life and fun to be had, they’re inclusive and while they don’t have things like IKEA Kansas City and St. Louis are two hours away if you really want to scratch that bourgeoisie itch.

I work for them but don’t represent them, but saw your post and thought I’d make you aware of our growing team! I think there’s a few hundred engineers right now.
Got a source for that? Or an/the online tool you used? I'd love to try it
It's also simply --

You're at Google. You need to do some kind of project that can be called a success -- within one quarter. What do you do?

One possibility, the disastrous effects of which we've seen, is to build Yet Another Incompatible Chat App.

This is another possibility. A very safe one, in a way.

You constantly have to demonstrate that you are "useful, self-directed, and doing important things", in an environment where usefulness and importance are extremely hard to judge, and so become very socially-constructed. It can get pretty brutal -- even if, when you step back and take the long view, it all seems ridiculous.

So when you look at what comes out of these companies, it's useful to remember that. Imagine the horrible games in which their employees have found themselves trapped.

(Money's a hell of a thing. Shame you seem to need so much of it.)
Yeah rabbit holes are great in moderation. :)

Tree style tab manager, that's my dream! Thanks for the rec!
You can actually do some crazy things with a homelab. I have a store-and-forward network joining roadwarrior machines to machines on my home network organized in a hub-spoke-ish model. It lets me access media from my home network even when I'm on some super oversubscribed AP (at 256 KB/s) at some crappy hotel with awful firewall rules (like only letting TCP traffic on 80 and 443 out) without opening any security holes on the network itself. I was able to experiment and deploy the network using the machines in my homelab.

As far as the name, I think it comes from the term "networking lab" that netops actually use to trial out network topologies before deploying them in the field. It's a home networking lab, that's all.
There's a long-running joke about MLK giving exactly one speech and never saying anything else.
That sounds awkward to me. The best way to shorten titles is to omit words - then you keep the prosody of the original.

I've taken another crack at it. Now someone will complain about USPS being missing, but "flat rate" implies someone's rate, and it's not as if USPS is a misleading surprise.

(Submitted title was "It is physically impossible to exceed the weight limit for a USPS flat rate box".

First edit was
"It is impossible to exceed the weight limit for a small USPS flat rate box".)

p.s. If anyone wonders why HN spends so much obsessive energy getting titles right - I wondered that for years, too. Then it eventually made sense: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20429573. It's like this tiny corner of the universe where one's voice can be heard and correctness actually matters.

That's my theory anyhow. All I know for sure is that the beast likes it if you soothe it about titles.
Ironic that you complain about Squid Game being a rip off of Liar Game, when it's also derivative of another series, Kaiji.

Reminds me of that classic Steve Jobs line where he complains about Bill Gates ripping off his idea of creating a GUI for OSes, with Bill pointing out that they were both really just ripping off Xerox.
Well, that seems like a builder problem, no some inherent problem with smarthome equipment.
This is great. Thank you :)
I’d assume the baseline advice would be the same as I’d give without WASM: if you’re treating `this` as mutable outside of a constructor you’re probably already screwed. Maybe it gets more complicated if you can’t see clearly whether your instance is a value type in WASM, but like your example shows… people generally don’t build value types with this kind of semantics in JS anyway. They’re already incurring those costs. My hope would be that WASM library authors are focused enough on resource usage that they’ll be more mindful of that than the baseline.
Free speech is for individuals not corporations.
I think you can still get chain of custody, though. I have a laptop for anything touching prod and while the chain of custody needs to be kept for physical security, the value of insurance for my company is negligible. It's probably cheaper and easier for them to just eat the cost if something happens during transit than to try and deal with an insurance claim.

Another case is for shipping products to customers. With how insurance works, the insurance would cost you more than just sending the item again. However, proof of delivery is really nice for if a customer claims something was never delivered.
"The law doesn't have this exact word in it and therefore none of the observed effects of the law actually exist." is not the airtight defense you may think it is.
I have learned that almost any effort is far too much for people to go through.
Here is a web page I put together a while ago that has categorized links to the Netflix category pages -

Exactly.

It's bizarre how often you see people arguing as if a lack of rural or farm subsidies would suddenly mean food disappearing.
Well sorry that was not the intent. As a measure of personal growth, i've decided to spend more time for the people I love.

Some context - We make decent money, but we are distinctly middle-upper class by the standards of the avg SF/Singa/London/Dubai/NYC/Bern household. However, I've noticed (accidentally) that immediate family & friends think of us as wealthy. The word rich has been thrown around by little kids.

The most valuable resource I have now, is time. So I decided that's what I would spend for the people in my life.

RE: culture... I've been personally criticized for following the rule steadfastly. Usually this is from people that value perception by others (in particularly, gifting early or on time), vs the meaning of gifting itself. I'm not sure what is right, but there are some people out there that feel that a bday gift that is a day late is a huge insult, even if its a wonderful, well-thought out gift.

Not cultural, just personality trait.
That's a cool app, will def look into it :)
Because they're established terms, and the witchhunt goes so far as to break builds and cause needless work just for the sake of political correctness: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2360

Political correctness linters require you to explicitly acknowledge or disable warnings when you're doing things like pasting existing URLs.

And it never stops with one term. It started with master/slave (which are now replaced with dozens of synonyms that are often hard to figure out), then whitelist/blacklist, and the activists are already queueing up the next words for sure.

Few people want to ban others from using alternative terms that they consider better, but where they draw the line is when others prevent them from using the terms they deem appropriate, or demand/force additional work.
Very possible that it went mainline, this would have been around 2010 ish.
That’s basically subreddits
As a IA / UI guy, I have to say I’ve come around a bit on this. I used to share the opinion, but mobile has changed my view. A well implemented touch enabled, smooth sliding horizontal carousel is an excellent UI component on a handheld device. I say that as a user.
> But if you had abdominal surgery check with your doctor before embarking/restarting that journey, I learn this the painfull way

Would you care to elaborate? I've had open abdominal surgery and am starting exercise once again. I used to go to the gym for a while some years ago and nothing bad happened, but I'm always afraid of a hernia.
I'm 99% sure you're correct on the alcohol reference. From what I've read, alcohol cannot be stored but gets prioritized as caloric fuel for the body. Regarding lean protein, I'm also sure that protein gets broken down into glucose for fuel, and can be stored as such in fat. It's why the keto community is really big on such a relatively low percent of protein and high percent fat in their diet.

That diet probably works wonders because if you have ever tried to eat a bunch of lean meat, it's difficult to get through an entire chicken breast, let alone excess calories it would require you to put on weight.
The name is escaping me right now, but I believe there are startups in AZ that are building "artificial communes" - ie a rural kind of community, no cars, everything within walking distance, inhabitants are tech people working remotely. I think their business model is eventually going to be charging some kind of tax on everything that occurs within the community.

I'd try to Google something reminiscent of "AZ artificial community" - I tried Googling that, but couldn't find it. Kind of frustrated that I can't remember the name now!
