Granted, mostly hobbyists are the ones who have Raspberry Pi's, and those devices have become more expensive since COVID.

It is really bizarre that the FreeBSD org has not written WiFi drivers for the Broadcom chipsets in RPi 3/4. They're still Ethernet-only in terms of networking. The FreeBSD dev community seems to be ignoring the RPI community. WiFi is pretty common these days. Is this happening because BSD is largely aimed at the industrial server market?
Is this aimed at inorganic materials in general, or are there areas of specialization like say, industrial catalysts for fluid-bed processes etc?
Both are true. It's a multi-level pun.
"Originally" doesn't matter anymore. The Founders wanted us to write a new constitution before 1820. They also didn't let women, blacks, and non-landlords vote.

Do you know where the States come from? They aren't local cultures. They are a bunch of territory ruled by some aristocratic British dude.

Most of the states that exist are due to undemocratic compromises with monarchs and slaveholders.

Draw state boundaries around communities that want to be cohesive,
and stop designing a nation around 18th Century concerns, and we can talk.

Of course, it still is cheaper to make food at home. A chicken patty, a bun, and some lettuce and mayonnaise cost maybe a dollar or so overall. A small handful of frozen fries, far less than a buck. You just have to take the time to put it all together, which we usually do. Making food at home is the ultimate price point for stingy folks, and our default mode of operation (and one reason you can retire on a lot less than you think - my next blog entry).

There's nothing in there about needing to buy food one meal at a time, and if you're trying to live cheaply to retire sooner you're likely buying relatively large packages and freezing/refrigerating across multiple meals.
The Fuji camera firmware also has some B&W film simulation modes.

Ricoh GR is another good option, I have the old GRD III released in 2009 and I still love it and use it. Lens has almost no distorsion, probably software corrected? The ergonomics and speed are stellar. Has several in camera B&W modes. Now they also have a 40mm equivalent version, the GR IIIx.
I work for a large online service. We barely need your IP to track you. There are _so_ many other variables sites can use to track you. Even when you switch networks completely.

You're fear of IP tracking is outdated.
It seems to be common knowledge that the systems behind publishing papers and getting grants are nearly completely broken. It feels like a weird hazing ritual, where the people who get through it fiercely defend their abuse.

> Is entrepreneurship a trap? No; right now, it's one of the only ways to avoid being trapped.

... Realistically, you need to be rather well off to have even one good shot at starting a company. Get sick at the wrong time and forget about it. Get less than very lucky, and forget about it. Get your ideas stolen by a megacorp; forget about it.

I'm so tired of seeing truly extraordinary people forced to do menial labour to survive, and starting a company in the hopes of getting lucky isn't all that much better.
Have you been a crowd of people lately? People smell pretty awful…
Or maybe they would devalue their currencies and reindustrialize?
> Which distro offers x32?

A lot of modern distros are still packaging for i686, but actually installing it might be a bit of a pain. I think your safest bet is to go with an OS like Debian that's sure to offer ample support for older systems, or you could go for broke and run a distro like Gentoo/Arch/NixOS that has package manifests/build instructions for each tool and pray that nothing breaks (spoilers: it will).

So, temper your expectations; 32-bit systems aren't a huge priority nowadays, but I'm certain you could put together a usable config if you choose the right base system. Or just keep the machines as they are, I'm sure Xubuntu still runs fine.
> I say this to make sure you know your employment status likely only effects your kids if it effects you

That's partially true but there are also things for some hobbies/activities which are really expensive. I'm thinking musical instruments (+lessons), or robotics (okay, those were very expensive when I was a kid but maybe they're cheaper now :p).
Ask HN: Would it make more to sense to learn more SQL or another language?
My skill is fairly limited in SQL and I was wondering would it make more sense to deep dive into SQL or learn another programming language to improve myself as an engineer?
> Some people don't have those skills and don't want to learn them.

But isn’t that always the chasm of running your own business vs. being an employee or small subcontractor?

The more control you want, the more broad your skill set and investment of your time needs to be.
No, what I wrote is experience. Just because I don’t give you a detailed example of the history where I know what I wrote to be true does not make it less experiential.

> How do projects like this deal with papers published based on falsified data? Do they reproduce any of the source data themselves?

I can't speak to this specific instance, but Materials Project does try to pay close attention to questions of reproducibility and provenance. Materials Project runs open-source repos[0] so that its methods can be verified, individual calculations are available via an API[1] and we also partner with NOMAD[2] to make larger files and calculation artifacts available for direct download. This is in addition to documenting methods via peer-reviewed papers, online docs, etc.

This is not to say that issues of reproducibility don't still exist, or that we ourselves couldn't be doing better. It's a big problem in the community.

> The Ubuntu Edge (2013) had no effect on the Unity project or on the OS convergence project.

The failure of Ubuntu Edge to meet its lofty ($32M) crowdfunding target did not immediately result in Canonical abandoning their convergence aspirations. But it was part of a broader trend of failed attempts to monetize mobile and desktop users. Had more those attempts been sufficiently successful I doubt they would have abandoned OS convergence.
Pixels are "notorious" (just a bit more often than other phones) for having internal snap connectors pop off at even the slightest drop (a few inches off of a tabletop).
I agree, to be clear I continue to schedule messages despite my inner dialogue.
But Sony is a champion of undermining industry standards. S/PDIF is a bastardization of AES/EBU. They created a bullshit version of Firewire with a rinky-dink non-standard connector that lacked power. They continued to cripple their products with Memory Stick for years after the rest of the planet settled on SD.

Their first Thunderbolt support came crammed into a hacked USB port on one of their laptops.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some other examples.
The ROI on learning FP is absurdly low.
No, that’s a valid point you make, but sadly, not relevant in the present context.

The constituent factors of the trade imbalance being spoken about here is a sharp rise in energy costs. For decades, Germany has led the EU in repressive energy security policies including a heavy focus on shutting down existing Nuclear facilities that typically have >90% uptime in favor of cyclic sources.

For example, less than 10% of installed renewable capacity in Germany right now is usable: https://twitter.com/burggrabenh/status/1543388878584823810

Thanks to which, Germany is presently generating 72% of their electricity through very dirty and very expensive coal https://twitter.com/bjornlomborg/status/1543190255477706752
Taxi companies has the benefit of scale in a way that Uber drivers' don't. I don't think not maintaining the vehicle fleet "at scale" will work out in the long run for Uber's drivers and thus Uber when they run out of lusers running at a loss.

Crypto was foisted on us so hard in the past 2 years that people are celebrating it's downfall because it means not being insulted by the marketing of it all. It was vapor, it was a scam that created desperation in many people during some of the most troubling times we've had in history.

I had to work extra hard to try and convince family members to not sink their hard earned savings into it, and worried that the hype train would affect many I knew when it actually did crash, during one of the worst economic periods in recent history...

It did crash hard, despite how many promises were made. NFTs also were proven to be insecure. Web 3.0 was based on totally fraudulent claims by opportunistic people... That is why people are celebrating the current peril it is in, and also why no one accountable ever really wants to step up and own the failure of it all.

Saw an article recently on loud restaurants (the loudest in the world are in London, followed by SF iirc) - the top few in London were measured as so loud that per the law (I assume it's not known/adhered to) they have to provide staff with hearing protection from the injurious volume!
There wasn’t much of a coverup. The tastemakers happened to have some convenient video to work with and used the opportunity to fabricate a myth that a petty criminal was a hero. It’s a testament to the power of media and gullible minds in great numbers.

>>I started having problems with chronic pain...

I know this is a long shot but if you've not tried it it's worth a shot..

Buy some quality local raw honey and start taking a couple teaspoons a day. You should know in a couple weeks if it's helping.

I had been dealing with severe shoulder pain for close to a year when an old friend told to try raw honey. I was hurting bad enough to give it a shot. It worked, and it didn't take long compared to how long I'd been hurting.

Since then I've told two friends of mine about it who told me were dealing pain, one was just two weeks from surgery for it. It worked for both of them too.

You might also look into getting some Manuka honey. The antibacterial properties are a bit different than local honey so if local doesn't work that might.

I can tell you it worked for the three of us.
I have mesages that can’t be linked to contacts on vibration during day (silent at night), messages from contacts on vibration during day (during night only the second message within of 15 minutes sends makes a noise), and phone calls always on loud.

That catches all unexpected emergencies without bothering me too much due to emails, IRC messages, or a random text from a friend.

The RP2040 has a programmable IO subsystem. This lets you define a simple state machine that manages the IO pins and can transfer data to/from memory.

Here's what the project's README says:

So, how the heck the pico is able to achieve this? Well, the key are the PIO units, these units are a wonder, they are coprocessors explicitly dessigned to handle IO, it uses a very restricted and deterministic assembler (only nine instructions that each take a single cycle to execuet) but extremely efficient, so efficient that with only two instructions is possible to create a loop that captures GPIO data up to 30 bits and redirects the program flow based in the status of one of these GPIOs.
Adults in the UK drink to get drunk, like Italian 15 year olds. It is different for young adults, who are adopting a more “continental” approach to alcohol.

And you made it out of that interaction without anyone threatening your life or beating you up? Salud on a peaceful response to your bravery.
You can hardly compare the atmega series CPUs with 32-bit ARM SoCs running at 10+ times the clock speed, much more memory, and many more advanced features. The RP2040 (the SoC on the pico) is very much a generation beyond the atmegas, if not more.

Notably the PIO feature on the RP2040 is used to avoid having to sample input pins using the ARM CPU (which would make it slow and undeterministic). The sampling is effectively hardware-assisted using the PIO feature. The github page in the link goes into some detail about it.
This is true of everything that is named after something, and it wasn't really something people worried about until Go, which is interesting in itself.
A Curated List of Combinators
This reminds me of a mithril project where my state management library was just a global variable. It was a breath of fresh air: simple code, snappy UI, no convoluted debugging.
I think the recent SCOTUS changes are all about core values, whether it's bodily autonomy, separation of church and state, indigenous rights, right of a suspect to know their rights, or the double-speak of states' rights when it comes to states limiting violent crime.

At least some of that probably touches on your core values, however you state them.

The partisan court has shown us how clearly the country is split along partisan lines. We are not the same.

And I am neither of those two partisan factions.
As I understand it, US health insurance often just entirely nopes-out and tries to find any possible excuse not to cover your illness.

And even if they do cover you, from what I understand you still need to actually pay some percentage of the hugely inflated costs yourself.

I have a cousin in Florida who was charged $700 for some cortisone cream, but "good news" they only had to pay 20% because their insurance covered it! That is still $140 for something that in the UK is approx £2/$3 (three) (e.g. https://www.expresschemist.co.uk/hydrocortisone-cream.html), assuming you need to pay at all (many people get these things entirely free, and if not it will be at some fixed peppercorn price regardless of what the drugs actually are).

If basic skin creams are 700 bucks, I can't imagine what actual treatment costs. You'll want to keep a significant buffer of cash in case you are unfortunately sick one day, otherwise if you cannot pay your medical bills then I presume they will declare you bankrupt and force you to sell your house to pay the bills. The last thing you want if you have a heart attack or cancer is that your kids now also don't have a home as well as you not being there to support them etc. To me it feels irresponsible to just trust that insurance will cover you when in reality there is a not insignificant risk that you will not be covered and instead have some huge bill arrive one day that you cannot pay.
Probably one of the most tempered and even-keeled analysis of our predicament I've come across to date. Thank you jseliger.
Just like simply eating at a McDonalds once doesn’t make me an expert on Burgers. . .

It is aimed at inorganic materials in general, and many of the calculations are bootstrapped from existing experimental crystal databases.

However, this is not to say there aren't some biases. A lot of the Materials Project collaborators work on battery research, so there is some bias towards battery materials. But people have used MP to search for new photocatalysts, for example (or carbon capture materials, new phosphors, thermoelectrics for solid-state refrigeration, lead-free piezoelectrics, transparent conductors, etc.. the list goes on).
I think you're speaking of interest and motivation, without which you won't try to be creative or hit the gym. But I believe the capability still exists within you, even if you choose to ignore it. Nobody is unable to be an artist because of the way they were born.
German GDP is ~$3.8T to Poland's ~$600B, a roughly 6x difference. And there is hardly any trajectory change in the last 15 years, so color me skeptical Poland will overtake Germany economically anywhere in the next 50 years.

The same logic of experience drives police officers to draw their guns on 'suspicious' young black males. They are, after all, by far the most criminal demographic in the U.S., and most cops in racially mixed areas will have some bad prior experiences with them.

Are they justified doing so, in your opinion? Or if not, where is the line where experience should stop counting?
There are other issues with this number that also comes with a surge in imports, just to mention one of the other hidden factors that are making everything extremely unstable.
I am one of these highly creative types, and I would say I do not understand my biology. After my PhD@MIT I joined the materials industry and filed over 120 patents in nine years.

I definitely did not expect this to happen, and I have no idea where the ideas come from. I’ll just be doing my routine lab work and get showered with ideas occasionally.

Edit: Someone below mentioned schizophrenia and its association, and it’s true in our family history that there is a lot of schizophrenia. An ability of mine that seems interesting is an ease of very clear mental visualizations and object manipulations.
Main problem now is trying to filter out what to do now and what to wait for in terms of viability. Have had ideas that are definitely 10 years too soon…

Anyway, life is interesting for sure!
> increasing its recurrent revenue from services that is tied to monetising the personal data of its users.

My understanding is that they’re more responsible than other services with respect to personal data. Unless I’m mistaken, their strategy isn't to monetise and sell data, but is instead to sell services that allow users to interact with their own personal data, which is incredibly rich given the ecosystem that Apple Watch and HealthKit offers.
Nowhere near you say? Mir and Unity 8 dev were put on the back burner not long after the Edge campaign. Remeber that no release with them was ever made. Formally terminating dev work a few years later seems to fit in very well: there suddenly was no need for Mir, and the shift in focus to the server fits well with dropping a custom DE.
I thought it was the case that you can't implement the Monad type class using the built in Data.Set implementation of Sets but there's no reason in principle why you couldn't build a Set Monad that works that way, right? Perhaps I am mistaken so I will investigate further.
IMHO an under-appreciated side effect of rising property values is the destruction of third places (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place), a role that pubs often filled in the UK. As land values rise the pressure to make a return on any given space goes up. Leads to fewer places to "hang out" without strong pressure to spend money.

One of the key indicator of creativity is how they modify their behavior after mass novelty is achieved. It's distinctively a schizoid behavior, where you shun something that becomes widely known or appreciated by "too many ppl".

It's knowing esoteric facts/connections that allow neural pathways to discover unbeaten path, however its often not without risks. Many artists/actors/engineers/any line of work really remain undiscovered and then there is a sudden wide recognition of their work, much to their disliking.

You know what they say about genius artists, they straight up jack somebody else's work and claim it as their own.
