I really wanted to add cell balancing but the PCBs are designed in way that it would require hardware modifications that I thought very few people would actually do, especially on the V7 models and up. I was also pretty burned out on this project by the end.

I did add a way for you to at least monitor the cell balance level via LED blink codes so you know when the cells need to be manually rebalanced.

You are correct that in the end, this project doesn't provide a ton of extra utility. Especially since another user from the EEVblog forum thread, dvd4me, found the EEPROM values you can reset to clear the permanent lockout on the original firmware.
Why should every website have the same UI?

I'm tired of the same discussion again and again on HN. Javascript bad. Anything but #000 text on #fff bad. CSS and animations?! Fuggedaboutit. If it's not free range, handcrafted HTML, I don't want it anywhere near my 5950X.

Performance has improved dramatically, but latency went up too.

Mainframes are locked into an antiquated IBM business model: charging by the CPU usage. This incentivizes writing code in Assembly, and prevented me from writing code in Java. They sell a “Java co processor” which is just an unmetered CPU for running JVM.

It’s an insular world in large part because of the pricing model that IBM/SAS doesn’t want to give up. No amount of claimed benefits can make adopting the mainframe a sane decision.
I would like to say a second thank you for your response here. The way you've expressed this gives me food for thought on how I spread my time and energy, and how it manifests in terms of quality. I'm leaving this behind me tomorrow and taking what I have found useful so I've actually screen-shotted this comment in particular to take away with me. The way you've worded the issue is thoughtful and I'm not able to respond to it point by point here but I appreciate it.
Be lucky.

I don't mean to be flippant, but given the constraints, your speed will be almost entirely proportional to luck/risk.

To start, all you have is labor to bootstrap with. So let's say for round numbers $10 / hour, at 40 hours per week is $400. or $1600 for one month. That puts you six "doublings" away from $100K after one month.

Go to Vegas, bet it all on black (or red, your choice) and win 6 times in a row, and done. 1 month of labor + a few minutes of very lucky gambling. Or, a single bet that pays off 62.5 to 1. While the odds are the same it probably seems more "practical" to win "just" two 8:1 bets back to back.

Investments, options tradings, sports betting, etc will all be some variation of this. Get really lucky, and it can be done in a short time, but with a high risk that you have to start over, and it ends up taking a longer time overall.

More realistically, if OP can put all that labor money into investment/savings (assume subsistence is supported otherwise) The standard advice to buy and hold low/no- fee index funds could do it in about 5 years (on average).

https://www.investor.gov/financial-tools-calculators/calcula...

400 initial, $1600 / month, 5 years, assume 7% yearly growth +/- 2% variance.

Finally, OP says "zero financial investment" - but what other resources do they have? Perhaps the sunk cost of education or training or other skills. Then, their labor might be worth $100 / hour, instead of $10. Get a high-paying job.

Then you could make it in 6 months of straight labor income without risk of investment or gambling losses.

All the above is wildly speculative, and not investment advice, and somewhat US-centric, and contains completely implausible numbers and assumptions, but is an honest attempt to quantify an answer to the question.
The job market is still about as hot as I've ever seen it as a senior engineer - I don't know what it looks like for juniors these days, but I know a lot of places are hiring a lot of people and some have been trying for over a year now to fill positions.

I think probably startups will take a hit, but there are plenty of places that pay well and do good things and need coders.
Not at all, the whole point of Tether is to create a clean link to the US financial system — a tether to it.
It’s been known for more than 35 years that most bugs found in production are “Heisenbugs”:

https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~junfeng/08fa-e6998/sched/readin...

Gray’s paper provides a logical reason why: If a bug can be reproduced reliably it’s much more likely to be found during testing and fixed, so appearing seemingly at random is a kind of Darwinian survival adaptation.

Of course these are generalizations. "All models are wrong, but some are useful." I'm sure there are some laid-back jobs at startups and some stressful jobs at the Minnesota Dept. of Transportation, but I also think it is generally fair to say that those are less common than the opposite.
I think it ceases to be hypocrisy when you make a change. It's something, but let's not completely dismiss a positive change. Is that not the entire objective of education and awareness via activism? People deserve credit for acting.

I would reccomend starting as simple as possible.

Based on what you're describing you can likely create a bad looking version with html and plain JavaScript. It will look like a website from the 90s.

Keeping your same html and JavaScript you could then add something like bootstrap css for making it look a little more modern.

Using those fairly light tools you can make an entire working web page.

After that if you want to learn more / make more elaborate things I would reccomend Vue. React is also good.

Uh no. The heat pump may be more efficient during the period it has the largest temperature differential, but that is ensuring it has the largest possible heat differential up front. If you don’t do that (aka keep it on), there is far less total heat to move, unless you’d have it sit so long that you’d get the same total heat transfer. Which if the insulation is good, may take many weeks.

Which seems unlikely in this case.

My chest freezer for instance turns on for less than 30 minutes a day even with people getting in and out. When I defrost it, it takes a day+ to cool down again.

The reason someone would leave the door open is to ensure no one accidentally left a jug of milk in there when they turned it off. Which would pretty much neutralize any possible gains in sheer grossness if nothing else.
I hope the 3-5 emails a week from recruiters hiring for Amazon will stop then.
That is talking about our S3 buckets, when you use these you don't know you're using S3.

Fargate and Lambda are not as consistently fast to boot VMs. Fargate, in particular, can take minutes to get a container launched.

This is not because they're bad services, it's because they make different tradeoffs than we do. When you ask for a Fargate container (or a new Lambda "instance"), AWS actually moves other containers/lambdas out of the way to get you running. Most of the wait time is their infrastructure doing orchestration magic to match your thing to their available compute.

Fly Machines don't do any of this. If you try and start a machine and there's no capacity for it, you get a very fast error response instead. This works well for our early customers. Most of them want to start a process quickly enough for a good UX. Fast errors give them a chance to do that.
I don't think I've ever had computer with lower latency in any application than when using my M1 Pro MacBook. Sure, it's 20 years of hardware innovation, but at least someone is doing something right.
Good question! I would love to know as well. Maybe insecurity? Following a “leader” (author of an article or whatever) might make them worry less?
Looks useful, but that's a lot of detail and small text. Maybe start with an image of a messy inbox and a "Does your inbox look like this?" And then a tidy one with labels on the side, and a "Turn it into this, with one click."

Seeing some of these rules, it makes me think that email is more of a notification and receipt system than a messaging system – shuffling some of these things away is useful, because you _might_ want to go back to it later, but others it's more just emails meant to get your attention for a thing, and that thing is often buried in the email (or worse, behind a click).

Additionally, some of these could be a bad idea to skip the inbox with, such as the security notifications. 9/10 those are self-triggered, but in the one case where it's not, you _want_ to see it.

Anyway, cool thing. Didn't realize the rules were portable. I do think that the effort that has to go into vetting the "preselected" rules is roughly the same as just going through and coming up with them from scratch.

I’d be perfectly happy for those academics to be fired, personally. But as the article I linked to explained, this goes far beyond a single consensual relationship. (And to say it’s ‘consensual’ is just to say that he’s not a rapist - big whoop. It’s still an abuse of power.)

No idea what you are trying to say with the comparison to the number of people who are gay. Being gay is not a violation of any of Princeton’s policies, or of generally accepted standards of professional behavior.

As a former academic who managed to avoid having sex with my students by the simple expedient of, err, refraining from doing it using the the self control skills that I learned in 6th grade, I have exactly zero sympathy for these creeps and losers who serially hit on their students.
> Today the average person crosses the Atlantic no faster than we did decades ago.

50 years ago, the average person did not cross the Atlantic at all. Flights were so expensive they were completely inaccessible to the vast majority of people.

Today, most of the middle class can eventually afford a European vacation, if it's something they want to prioritize. I'm not rich and I've been to Europe three times in my life.

The way in which we travel is also significantly safer and more efficient. For as much as I hate airports and airlines, I can't deny that the state of things today is still at least an order of magnitude better than "decades ago".
This seems to be what's going on:

Sets -[construct-into]-> Relations -[construct-into]-> Functions

The 'destructive' definitions are a bit less common

> the definitions of sets from functions and from relations are "destructive".

so a destructive definition of a set:

- start with a relation: define unary relations... I can see how this could be 'destructive'; it has a feel like an 'overkill' (or a 'waste') to use relations and then use only half of what they provide to regard them as sets

- start with a function: to define a relation use a singleton co-domain (this is really very similar to characteristic functions. This has been quite tricky for me to wrap my head around: how in logic there's a tacit assumption of 'truth' in the sense that a predicate defines a set and if this set is empty then the predicate is 'false'. I'm studying this from the lens of modal logic and formal semantics)

to define a relation use a power set.

I think all this is still relying on sets, because a co-domain is a set, as well as a power set.

> Since I can't think of any "constructive" definition of sets from functions or relations, while I can think of "constructive" definitions in the opposite direction, I would say sets are more fundamental than functions and relations

As I understand this, the sets really are more fundamental because in the end they bring to the system (for the lack of a better word) the capability to identify things, and when dealing with functions, which come with variables, the concept of a set allows for identifying the same variables in the function's call (parametric denotation?) and the functions actual body (its computable definition)

What I'm trying to say, is why it may well be the case that sets really are more fundamental than functions.
Some of the plumbing is similar, but in general:

1. Lambda has runtime constraints and is billed per request

2. Fly Machines are basically just VMs with some magical startup sugar. You can do pretty much anything you want with them, including run for months.

Fly Machines are a partial answer to "how can I build my own Lambda service"?

This is exactly what keeps it at $1. If someone is willing to sell at $.99 then the number of buyers is gigantic. Ditto with someone buying at $1.01. That’s why it’s news when the peg drops by more than a fraction at a penny.

As for why would someone buy or sell for other than $1.00? Plenty of reasons, if a market opportunity to make 10% in a crypto investment pops up, damn right people will liquidate tether at a slight loss

I don't think your comment does justice to how much we have advanced since 1960..

Today..

* we can have pretty much any food delivered to me with a click of a button

* We can have a ride at anytime to any destination with a click of a button

* Communicate instantly with millions of people with a click of a button

* Huge automation in business operations and logistics

* AIs that can literally draw pictures and write sentences

* Practically look at any place across the globe, find directions in any country and translate nearly any text to any language

* Listen to unlimited amount of music and entertainment with a tiny wireless thing in my ear that can also make calls

* Automated vacuum cleaners that run on schedules, mop floors and dispose their trash

* Cars that are much more efficient, can detect pedestrians, red lights, road signs, have blind spot monitoring, can warn you when you are drifting off, warn you if you risk collision, ..

* MRNA vaccines and breakthroughs in many areas of science (CRISPR for example)

* SpaceX, Starlink satellites and adoption of electric cars

* We literally have 3 rovers and 1 lander currently in operation on Mars, transmitting images and data

I could go on but I think I've made my point.

To claim that we have not progressed is ridiculous. Yes, we need screens and internet to accomplish some of these, but we also need fuel and electricity to build a lot of tech in 1960. Some technology simply require other technology and I think that point is irrelevant.
having thought about this some more, I guess that no, the more fundamental notion should be sets.

At it’s best it’s a very quintessentially Canadian sort of absurdism, but then you have to define Canadian. That said i think this is no less true of Monty Python which is really a very British kind of absurdism. Weirdly i feel like there’s no really good, singular American equivalent (certainly SNL isn’t it - Canada’s SNL is probably this hour has 22 minutes). Maybe like… In living color or something.

It rarely makes that Canadianyness explicit but then that’s kind of quintessentially Canadian too.

I couldn't disagree more. The general choppiness a modern application has is noticeable by literally everyone. I'm so bothered by it that I even went back to a wired mouse recently because the latency of my bluetooth mouse made me uneasy. And another point is that VR is rewriting entire technology stacks JUST to get lower latencies, precisely because a lot of people just get sick if it isn't good enough. 120Hz+ displays are becoming more commonplace thank god. And I could go on.

The actual difference could be many factors higher.
In 2008, Goldman Sachs had their M&A department come in as usual, working on deals all day. They didn't close a single deal in over a year. (This is hearsay, btw)

If you're in the US I advise caution as ISPs are going to be increasingly aggressive about shutting off accounts. The media industry has demanded that repeated, unproven, accusations alone should be enough to force your ISP to close your account and never allowing you to open a new one. ISPs don't want to do that, but courts so far have been agreeing with the media industry on that. ISPs who don't do it, risk literal billions in fines.

IF you don't have multiple ISP options each offering reliable high speed connections in your area, you should be especially careful or you could find yourself with very limited access to the internet or even no internet access at all.
That makes sense. Google wants users to be easily identified and tracked; elsewise their primary revenue model, surveillance capitalism, would be under threat.
