Yes, I have been using MicroPython on ESP32 and RPi Pico. For projects like home automation, it was super easy and handy. When I started building a game console using RPi Pico (https://github.com/codetiger/GameTiger-Console), I had to rewrite as Python interpreter takes a lot of memory and leaves very little for the application. In my case, I had to avoid using Framebuffer on MicroPython. After switching to C++, its all in your control and take lot of time to write the same simple things
And data recovery services would have a field day :)

Self hosting in 2022 is not exactly a walk in the park. Besides the obvious security risks of data loss/theft through exploits, you also have a challenge making anything as redundant as a cloud service.

Most major cloud services offer multi geographical redundancy, meaning if one data center completely vanishes (like the OVH fire), your data is safe in another data center, and hastily restoring redundancy to yet another data center.

You get versioning as well, i.e. OneDrive offers unlimited versions for 30 days, allowing you to roll back your entire account to a date 30 days in the past in case of malware attacks.

Add to that redundant hardware, power, internet, spare parts, physical access control, fire prevention and more.

On the other side of the fence, we have that old gaming PC that has been repurposed as a "home server", running Unraid, or slightly better TrueNAS in Raid-Z1, and not a backup in sight because "raid". Furthermore it probably hasn't been patched in months unless it defaults to auto updating.

I'm well aware that there are people that are serious about self hosting (i used to be one), but the above repurposed gaming PC is what you'll get in A LOT of the cases.

And to top it all off, with electricity prices in Europe as they are right now, the cloud is cheaper than running your own hardware, except of course for multi TB storage. A 4 bay Synology consuming 45W costs about €18/month in electricity alone, and a 60W server costs €23.5/month.
Probably not with Google, but you never know.

I moved once and got a $10 final gas bill sent to the old address that I never knew about. The company was scummy and added a $10 late fee after 30 days. Then another $10 late fee after 30 days, etc, until it was around $120 and then they put it on my credit report and sent it to a collector.

This was like 20 years ago, but scummy fly-by-night companies will do this.

Well I thought the rules were easy to understand, although I had the model that the word was constantly changing every time (instead of being the same winning word for everyone), if that's right. Anyway I am annoyed at you. https://i.imgur.com/DXctJnb.png

It says "E replaced with I in the WORD" and shows the E as yellow. That's wrong, and I was trying to find an anagram for "ABSEI" but I guess the E as yellow is just a bug or something because there's no E. I do realize the 4th word was not a good guess though (yellow S).

stable means that i can use it for a year without needing updates. frequent releases are nice to add new features. but if i don't need the features then i should be able to continue using the old version.

if frequent releases are caused by bugs that need to be fixed then that's not stable.

We talk about externalities. A chemical company pours toxins into a
river, an automaker knows its products kill X people per year. These
are tangible, understandable.

But we don't yet think of the effects on the workforce as social
externalities. Industrial safety has made the workplace a much safer
space physically, but not mentally.

The reality is, a great many jobs make us sick. Depression, anxiety,
heightened aggression, sedentary atrophy, getting overweight because
there's no time for the gym... the modern office workplace is no
heath-farm. And Google throwing a few coloured bean bags around,
or providing healthy food and gym equipment is only a sticking plaster
if the foundational culture is toxic.

What is the cost to society? I have no idea, or how to even measure it.

But I have a few observations.

I meet lots of people who "got out of tech". People with PhDs who
became landscape gardeners or opened a juice bar. I meet smart and
engaging people in their 30s who dropped out of games or media careers.

The cost (to society) of educating a graduate is, what, $100,000?
Average post-grad education is another 4 years. Then it costs
approximately 20% of someones salary to hire and onboard them.

For what? So they can drop out after 5 years and go open a
wind-surfing school?

In a way, these people, the workforce/pool are a national asset, and
it could regarded a tragedy of the commons that harming them is
inflicting an externality on the whole industry. By culturing
inhospitable, mentally harmful environments the tech industry is
pissing in its own drinking water.
The big wins from Haskell are immutability, pure functions by default, and expression-orientation... not the type-system, in my view.

As to why it's not more popular? Well the entire industry caught OOP fever during Java's heyday, so platform holders pushed languages that were similar - see JavaScript, C#, Visual C++, etc... Now this paradigm has huge inertia, and smart software engineers are able to make it work (just about) anyway. In other words, an accident of history got us caught in a local minimum.

Things are shifting though. The most popular framework in the world in probably React, and it's a (pretty crummy) implementation of functional programming concepts. It's not hard to find OOP thought-leaders advocating for immutability, effect systems and so on. Implementation inheritance is going the way of the singleton.

I agree that Haskell in particular suffers from being lazy, which has genuine problems in practice.

> The prompt appears every time an app tries to access the clipboard. If the user denies the access, the prompt appears again for every new access attempt the app makes. If the user allows it, the prompt won’t be shown again for the same clipboard content that has been allowed.

That seems nightmarish. Accessing the clipboard has obvious security implications, but a prompt for each copy/paste seems just unusable.

If there is an "allow access all content" option that would make this very useful. So you can copy/paste once in some apps, for example to paste a password for login, but not allow further reading. But to allow copy/pasting all the time for trusted apps like your browser.

5 year survival is not a particularly useful statistic though. Those people are not living longer, they're being diagnosed earlier. The all cause mortality hasn't been changed. Rates of regret for cancer treatment are quite high - people at the end of their life sometimes wish they'd spent more time doing stuff with family and less time getting unpleasant and painful treatment in hospital.

If you take every man over the age of 55 and provide rigorous diagnosis for prostate cancer, but you then provide zero treatment to anyone, your 5 year survival rates suddenly look really good. This is because you've diagnosed a lot of slow growing cancer that doesn't kill people. But obviously you've done nothing to improve all cause mortality or quality of life.

https://academic.oup.com/jnci/article/98/24/1761/2521971

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5454760/

> Our findings suggest that there are no reliable relationships between changes in 5-year survival and cancer incidence or mortality. Increases in 5-year survival might therefore represent poor indicators of progress in cancer control at the population level. In the absence of over-diagnosis, 5-year survival might only indicate improved diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.

So change that to "... 'technologies' so deeply integrated that our brains have changed to accommodate for them. For example: writing and language". AIUI, research suggests language has warped our brains.

"I choose software based on how good it is, not ideology. Why would I use free software when proprietary is slightly better?"

If only someone had foreseen this...
I think paper citations are an archaic method of tracking contributions to research. We have all this technology, and Git is a great example, that allows us to more granularly give credit to contributors.

In fact, even the very idea of a published paper feels out of date. Why have one model that is set in stone that is published as one snapshot in time?

In the DevOps and Cybersecurity world our alerting mechanisms are essentially simple data models (sometimes not so simple) that are tapped into the raw data feeds, and can be updated and refined on an ongoing basis.

While instrumenting the physical world can have more challenges, I still feel that the sciences have a lot to be gained from some of the more "pedestrian" operational processes that we use in the technology industry.

I was keen to do a small project in Haskell. However I quickly found that the compiler gives cryptic errors. I am very capable of managing that (I have many years experience using a variety of old school compilers in the past), but I have no desire to repeat yet another compiler hell experience and waste my time fighting my tools, trying to diagnose where I have misunderstandings.

I haven’t yet tried programming rust, but I have read that error management and suggestions for correction in rust are superb. That makes a world of difference for a neophyte in a programming language.
Take my angry upvote. :)
I agree. You do both. If revolution is not immediately possibile, you fight for reform instead, hoping that it will sow the seeds of the revolution in those who fought with you. Any small victory for social movements generates a strong taste for solidarity and the expectation that the victory can be repeated.

Sometimes (most of the times?) it's not about being the first one solving the problem in a specific way, but about solving it with the skills and knowledge you have, the best you can, because at the end it's your problem if you took responsibility of it.

Personally think that relativizing problems is key, and can find joy in the process of solving them. Food for the brain and personal achievement. Whether it's important or remarkable for anyone else is anyone else's problem.

Anyway, none of that matters if the problem isn't interesting for you or you don't care about who you are enabling by solving the problem, doesn't matter if it's a worldwide new problem or a well-known-and-solved one.

By looking newer posts at the blog, he/she/they is having fun and writing about problems that aren't novelty, but are anyway personally interesting.

Schizophrenia is a terrible scourge. The person afflicted suffers more than anyone around them, because they know it will not stop. Medications for it are mostly terrible and debilitating.

I have known several people so afflicted. One killed himself.

Anyone with any tendency to schizophrenia must never touch psychedelics like LSD. But an MDMA session seems to silence the shouting voice, temporarily, leading to a realization it is not a integral part of existence, and to seeking treatment.
One possible pathway is to get a full time job, work full time for a year or two, then negotiate to dial it back to 80% or 60%. Before joining, figure out if some people there are working part time. If no one employed there works part time, that's probably a red flag. Some less popular employers have a hard time attracting and retaining talent will be happy to have you even if you're only part time.
I'm pretty sure your rationale is more complex than that, you probably also account for things like "how similar are they to me?". After all, you wouldn't believe a video game character if they told you they were conscious, right?

>If I can't be 100% sure that people feel in the same way that I do, then asking that same question for robots is totally pointless.

I don't see how that at all follows.
The difference between physics and pure math is not in how it "looks". A lot of physics already "looks" like math, but whether it leads to some testable conclusions.

I would say that String Theory has been more similar to Math than Physics for a while, in that it hasn't really led to many interesting experiments.

This happened to me with employment insurance just a month ago. Invoice went to the old address. I paid the invoice 4 days after the due date, but not the €10 late fee that i didn't know about. So they put the €10 late fee to debt collection and i had to pay €40.

What enraged me most was that that the insurance company supposedly didn't know my new address, although they are my landlord at the new address...

The debt collection of course had no problem finding out my new address.

I'm not weighing in on the NATO situation, but the Lira crashing along side the Sri Lanka rupee makes it seem like that Turkey will be requesting a loan from the IMF as well.

Both Lua and OCaml are much better at embedding, which is another domain where Python is the 100th best as opposed to the second best as often claimed. For concurrency, see:

https://nitter.net/gniemeyer/status/1154389688226066432

"So here we are two decades after Stackless Python was a thing, and instead of good concurrency support we have a never ending stream of simplistic language changes that increase complexity and fragment code and community. Python could have been so much more."

This is a great example of the politics that has ruined Python for more than two decades. It only got worse now that all dissenters have been purged by the mediocre rulers.

The idea of E2EE in chat is that the chat operator does not have access to the data, and so even the government cannot request this data (and build surveillance mechanisms around it).

I don’t agree with your other point. Whether somebody spends $1 or $1000 on an abortion in the US, they deserve the same degree of privacy, or at least the option to achieve privacy. Replace this scenario with any other that might like to take advantage of E2EE, like a dissident or political activist.
Renting a monitor, keyboard and office chair and desk when I go to the sun for a few months in the winter. I've had this issue 4 times in the past 3 years, in Southern Spain and in the Canary islands. No one rents office gear to remote workers.

I want to be able to go to a website, check a box beside each item I want, choose a delivery time, and have someone in a white van come and set up everything in my rental apartment or villa, then collect the day before my flight home.

I'd easily pay 50% of the cost of the items for this just for the convenience, and I know I'm not the only one. The target market is NOT nomad or budget travellers - it's professionals on high incomes.

> Is this something you have to sign an NDA with Microsoft to get access to the headers and docs for it? Or will I find the headers hidden away in the WDK somewhere?

Turns out the header file is included in the Windows 10 SDK, as km/nthalext.h

Not the very latest version, but someone posted it on GitHub here: https://github.com/tpn/winsdk-10/blob/master/Include/10.0.16...

(You can download the multi-gigabyte Windows 10/11/2022 SDKs to get a more recent one, although not sure if anything has changed.)

Still doesn't seem to be any public documentation. The header includes very detailed comments, but (as you'd expect for header file comments) they concentrate on the nitty-gritty and omit the big picture.

Searching "nthalext.h" on GitHub finds source code for a handful of HAL extensions, so at least there is some sample code to look at. Microsoft has even open-sourced a few – see https://github.com/ms-iot/imx-iotcore/tree/public_preview/ha...

Microsoft used to include HAL extension samples in the Windows 10 driver samples – https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/5b8... – but removed them as part of the Anniversary update – https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/96e...
