I don't see how SPI would introduce latency, quite the opposite.
SPI is a super simple bus, you write bytes and get bytes in return - do that in response to an interrupt generated via a separate interrupt line and you can't get any less latency than that.
Ask HN: Are you using Grammarly or similar services for higher emails quality?
It is a while that I am using grammarly free edition and I can see that its suggestions are most often useful.
I was thinking about getting the professional license but before it I decided to get some insight into how rest of the community is approaching having better grammar in their text/messages/emails/etc.
I planted some thousands of trees in Iceland in the noughties. I believe the program was funded by Alcoa to offset the carbon produced by an aluminum plant they were building on the island. They paid farmers to plant trees on unused land, and the farmers hired and hosted us to do the work. It was an amazing way to see the country. We mostly planted larch, birch and alder from what I remember. It is a very beautiful country, like an arctic Hawaii.
Another interesting illustration of innovation displacing a successful and widespread infrastructure. It wasn't better pipes or a better gas in the pipes, it was technology from a different source that displaced these compressed air clocks and obsoleted the hundreds of miles of pipe needed to transport it.
Sure, there are probably pockets in the Bay Area and NYC where this would make sense as well, but then you wouldn't get multi-billion dollar fundraises and decaunicorn status.

Buying and selling modern art in today's market seems to be more related to tax avoidance and money laundering schemes than anything else. If you think of the artist's job as creating the vehicle, then it should be pretty lucrative.

> "Consider that when the Mexican government passed a law in the early 2010s to require more information about buyers, and how much cash could be spent on a single piece of art, the market cratered, as sales dipped 70 percent in less than a year. Many believed that was because Mexican cartel rings had previously been the biggest buyers in the market."

See since you have Lithuanian name I know for sure a lot of Lithuanian liberal youth whose parents still habitually watch Russian television, so I am not sure what you are talking about in regards to that "anti-Russian notion in genes", that's just plainly not true.
I have a technical blog where I post detailed instructions for anything I had to figure out on my own due to lack of helpful documentation.

Every few months someone will leave a comment saying thank you - and I love that I was able to help someone avoid the hassle that I went through!
I will try to keep this short. I have a history.

My Website wasn't the best or the top but was right up there amongst many popular ones. Once upon a time, I believe it was within the Alexa top 1,000 or something like that. If I can recollect right, it has even seen its millionth visitor in a month. There was also a popular term called Google PR (I need to double-check this term); mine had "8" out of 10 for a long time.

To this day, I get occasional emails from people thanking me for kickstarting their careers because they read and followed my writings.

I will not dwell on those, but here are a few more interesting personal anecdotes.

I got one of my girlfriends because she doesn't trust the visitor counter on my Website. She contacted me via the contact form, "It must be a script. How can your visitor counter jump so fast every second?" "Meet me for coffee, and I will show you the real-time Website Analytics."

I was on a business trip. One fateful winter rainy night, I introduced myself to some new friends at HackerDojo, Mountain View (halfway around the world). Someone on the side overheard and approached me, "Are you brajeshwar.com?" "Yes." "Wow! I followed your blog, and thanks for your articles." That made my night.

My Website's revenue had bank-rolled me for many years while I kept failing with my Startups while continuing to stay in an upscale part of Mumbai.

My Website, indirectly, got me my USA Visa pretty easy and smooth.

I had brought down a business/Startup because the founder was cheating. But later, I regretted that and deleted every article related to that business. I should have never written something like that, and I will never forgive myself for it.

These are the quickies I remember without probing into my mind and notes. Now, I keep it as my Time Capsule. I don't have analytics either (I'm married).

Suggestion: Have a personal website/blog; don't rush. Start today, and have fun in 25+ years.
In the UK for the networks that support eSim, to switch provider you only need to send 2 SMS's, the eSim will then be downloaded to your phone. After a few hours it's ready to go. You keep the same phone number (if you want).

This article from uSwich explains the advantages better than the article:

Definitely! I think it comes down to a few things:

1. You need the same username/handle on all platforms (e.g., your domain name, your twitter name, your github name, etc...). This is easier if you have a weird name.

2. You need to consistently update your content on these platforms (e.g., no one will care if you have a blog with a single post from 10 years ago)

3. You need to identify a reason for the blog (e.g., is it for work, or is it for fun?) and know your audience.

4. Your "brand" lets you control what people see when they Google you. However, if you're trying for a more professional appearance, don't blog about politics, religion, etc... because you'll be bound to upset someone at some point. Also, don't write controversial Twitter posts.

I've been blogging for almost 10 years now [1]. I only write a few articles per year, but they're always about things I'm working on. I work in IT and try to apply things I learn at work to my "homelab", and then write about it. This actually landed me a DevOps job because they saw that I used Ansible, Terraform, Docker, etc... and was proficient enough to write about those tools. When I asked in the interview, they mentioned my blog and github content as reasons why I was chosen over other candidates.

I personally use Jeff Geerling [2] as my inspiration. His "brand" has blown up recently, and while I'm not trying to get YouTube famous, I think he has great posts, creates great public code (ansible playbooks and docker containers), etc...

PS - I also blog using Hugo on a VPS. I run Debian server and let unattended-upgrades do my maintenance. I use a GitHub action to publish my code to the VPS, so once I commit, I'm done.

thank you! I tried many setups over the years and then realized that I have 4000 notes in my Apple Notes anyway. And I have my drafts there and it works across devices.
Ask HN: Which MacBook to Buy Now?
My 2017 MBP is slowly dying

I like the dark colour of the new MacBook Air, but as a software dev, I prefer the specs of the MacBook Pro 14

Since the MacBook Pro 14 was released more than half a year ago, I’m now bit uncertain whether I should get it anyways or wait a little longer?

What's your thoughts?
> Can Apple be incentivized somehow to help the Asahi Linux folks?

I would guess that the best way to incentivize them is to let them know—en masse—that a large number of people would want to buy new Apple Silicon-based Macs to run Asahi Linux on if it were in better shape.
I'm aware, but I would've thought that marking something as spam would stop more almost-identical messages from the exact same email address. Having to create a custom filter for all the individual spammers that make it through is frustrating.
surprising to me how it works export Apple Notes to website?
Don't plan - have a goal. Just like in war, your plan will have to change as you go along.
Many are impressed by the no-code claims and start that way only to get bitten after a few minor successes by said rough edge - then what else can you do than try to soften your current investment's thorns. And arguably anything can be addressed, given the right motivation/time/money.
Hey Mark, I totally agree. We're focusing on NLP, but we're generally interested in what programming will develop into.

To exaggerate a bit, but I like that idea: With "regular programming" (not the best term, but I mean rule-based systems etc.), you used to develop via punch cards. You had to think multiple times before "compiling" something, right? I believe that we're currently in that phase regarding supervised learning development. If you have a labeling project, you need to plan this long in advance, ...

We're in love with VS Code, but we're missing something like this for AI. Our application tries to show how developers can program their training data, i.e. refine raw data into training data, and do so with many programmatic approaches. We're trying to show how something like this could look like (hence the title), and do so in NLP.

But again - I agree with you :)
There was a processor family called NOVIX, that was a hardware implementation of Forth - using a gate-array, I think.

Nowadays I suppose you could put 128 Forth processors on a chip 1/10th the size of a modern microcontroller. I don't know why people don't build Forth hardware; it should be cheap, efficient, and fast.
I never did any personal bookkeeping before I used GnuCash. I was however self-learning basic accounting for my startup at the time where we use the cloud-based software package Sage Accounting. After a few months of using Sage I was interested in applying similar methods to my personal finances and discovered Gnucash along the way.

Edit: phrasing
> basically poaching the best students from various other schools to join his high school.

I wonder what carrots he dangled in front of the parents to get them to switch schools. Doing this for football is a big no-no and has resulted in a few scandals over the years in Texas.
You are implicitly saying that passion and monetization are at odds with one another. By finding ways to monetize their passion people are able to spend more time pursuing their passion rather than moonlighting. People who are able to create content full-time tend to create better content - the video production quality is better, the sound is better, the presentation is more interesting - it's all gotten more professional and more engaging.

I'm now watching YouTube more than any of my other streaming content. It's more interesting content than Big Entertainment is producing and I get a chance to learn something to boot!

What I don't do - I rarely watch IT-related videos. The videos I watch are related to my interests and hobbies. If I need anything IT-specific I first start with my company's training provider who provides self-paced content specific to whatever it is I need to learn.
I get a kick out of the occasional "hey, thanks!" from some internet stranger who struggled with some problem that I happened to have solved and written about. We've all been in the stranger's situation at some point, probably more than once, so it's sort of a way to pay it forward.

Other than that, I did get a few positive remarks and interested questions during job interviews. I've even had a home assignment waived after they checked out my blog[1] and concluded that I "seem to know what I'm talking about," so that was a welcome surprise.

Inspiration waxes and wanes, and I make no promises about publishing regular content. But occasionally I solve an interesting problem with an elegant (IMO) solution and get the urge to tell the world about it.

Collective change in spending habits can have the power. We're seeing it with rise of veganism & meat/dairy, those producers are very concerned (pushing against naming plant-based foods milk/burgers etc.).

I agree that legislation & policy & subsidies are critical. But this change won't come without support of the public.

It seems to me, that if you want to change something, you have to change yourself first. We can't just wait for somebody to change it. It won't ever happen this way. People have to know & do, then politicians cannot pretend not to know/care and then the change will happen.
> Thankfully Intel and AMD are doing pretty good in performance department with their latest chips and it's only going to get better.

I often wonder if AMD was able to use TSMC's cutting edge fabrication node how would their laptop chips compare with the M1. Apple uses TSMC's best node as I understand it.
I'm afraid I don't know, but you're right if it was all (or mostly) non-native it's maybe not quite worth celebrating. Your little future forest sounds great though!

Verbal insults trigger a 'mini slap to the face', finds new research
I haven't dug into the data, but I would assume working in the music or film industries would count as a "creative profession" (unless you work exclusively on the business side). While there can be a lot of money in those industries for the people who "make it", it's difficult to break in, precisely because there are fewer positions than people who want that type of work.
This makes me a little sad, because a major factor making Iceland such an otherworldly place is the complete lack of trees.
It's a good thing Android app developers have never lied or misled end-users about their requested permissions...
I think you could get all three (the holy trinity) in some cases - but those would be pretty small areas (think: the five-ten minute walkable area around a grocery store - basically the distance you could get a bagger to run something over to you on his break for a fiver if you knew them well).

Once you're trying to pay for gas, maintenance, capital expense on a vehicle even if it is scooter, you're going to have to have delivery charges that rival the cost of what is being delivered.

Dominos perfected it (though they also depend on "customer tips" to offset the delivery costs for the driver); I'm not sure groceries are a high-enough margin business to sustain it for the long run (outside of perhaps a mile or so around a grocery store).
If you uncheck all boxes, except "easy", then you get this plane recommendation [0] which is note listed on the landing page by default. Easy, but with 100+ folds.

Corporations and militaries invest large sums, but only to study things that can be exploited for profit or explosions. If you want to study some plant or animal without a known or suspected economic use, good luck. If your field of science doesn't kill people, help targeting rockets, or make bigger booms, good luck. If you want to research in history, humanities, or liberal arts, good luck!
> Still, "strong men", the way I read it, means "adamantly striving for the increase of power" (not just military power) rather than "being powerful already".

The problem in that case is that I don't think it is true that these types of strong men tend to create easy times - if anything, they tend to create worse times for everyone around them, unless they are actually already extremely powerful. Warmongering leaders (whether we are discussing economic or open war), especially ones leading currently weak countries, tend to create even worse times for their people. Just look at Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, or, perhaps more arguably, Putin right now.
> Why would I want to do that?

Because sometimes we can learn from history. If a mistake was made at some point it can be good to understand why. Of course you can adopt the mindset that you don't care what ended up causing a bug, but learning from mistakes is a good thing.

> see if someone modified a test I thought was covering the case

How do you see if someone modified the test then? I feel like we are maybe misunderstanding eachother because to me, and seemingly most other commenter here, this is such an obvious no-brainer that it seems something is lost in the communication.
How would you suggest the kernel would accomplish that feat? If the user calls read() on a file descriptor, what can the kernel do except... you know... actually read from it and copy the data to user space?
Just a note that two of the best things you can do for your own carbon emissions is to compost all organic material instead of throwing it out and planting native plants, trees, shrubs, and reducing the size of your lawn while also mowing what's left less frequently.
Capital corrupts everything.
I think parent’s point still stands: expecting that X and not Y will come in 18 months might be worse than not expecting anything, if X actually comes in 36 months.

Even within the same organization, it’s such a gamble when:

- X might never come if the project takes too long or gets deprioritized. 18 months is a long time, perhaps half of an engineer’s average time in the company. X’s sponsor going away could mean the project stays in limbo for the rest of its life

- X might become Z when you realize midway that X wasn’t a good idea in the first place, or the assumptions behind X changed enough for the project to not make sense anymore. The org might not care for the cost to readjust now that X is gone, but you’re still worse off than if you weren’t waiting for X.
You are aware climate change requires global solutions?
Do you propose building nuclear power stations in every country regardless if it is a inept dictatorship, an religious fundamentalist theocracy or been at civil war for the last 15 out of 20 years?
Because then you’re probably charged with trespassing or some crap that’s not worth the trouble. And if you didn’t get charged with something, someone else would break into a place knocking down a door saying they thought their neighbor was dead

Agreed, a bunch of general ideas that are poorly- or entirely un-supported.
More accurately, this is much more viable in cities with a big wage gap between the lower class and middle class. The upper class uses different services and there's simply not much of them to make a scalable business; but if a middle-class worker earns 10 times more than a poor worker, that means that service jobs will be much more used than in the West.

Like, almost no Western doctors, lawyers or engineers afford a chauffeur or a full-time domestic servant, but there are areas of the world where that is quite plausible, just as it was in the West hundred+ years ago with minimum wages that were proportionally much lower than now.
Apple also helped by not copying the iOS Boot mechanism to macOS, which they could have. This entire "Permissive Security" mode allowing for installation without jailbreaking took extra work to make and was not necessary otherwise.
No, not as opposed to them. The U.S. has a radically bimodal development pattern with very few developments that lie in between "dense cramped highrises" and "suburban wastelands of cars, asphalt, strip malls and large private homes with large lawns." This development pattern, which is exceedingly rare elsewhere in the world, excludes the kind of developments that are most needed, which are multifamily housing developments that offer decent private space to individuals while being dense and connected enough to offer public amenities and transit.
I think so too. Mostly that it is something open. I also believe that it will change the workflow a bit, and that DVC will play a major role in it for versioning your different data hypotheses. Let's see, exciting times ahead!
One word of warning though, this was a mistake that derailed me over and over again: don't get lost in self-help books.

The solution is in your mind, not in the books.

Very few books/people tell you that.

They sell you habits, methods of planning etc... but did you notice that somehow that never ends up working?

Sitting alone and examining the mind was the only thing that worked for me.

The gains were exponential. Well, compared to all other self-book, where the gains were zero, I guess I can say that the gains are infinite compared to any self-help book.
They are not at all the same thing.

Absence of beneficence is not evidence of malevolence.

Apple is busy making their custom OS work on their custom chips. They will change either or both, as needed, to serve their needs.

It's no minor thing to ask Apple to limit their own flexibility for a tiny non-revenue-generating external project. Remember Apple does not sell Mx chips on the open market like Intel/AMD/some ARM mfrs. They do not publish hardware specs as a service to customers, because they have no customers.
I started to write a "A cardboard box" but then thought of UV and switched to mylar. Doing some research I can't find much direct discussion of perchlorate and mylar, but they do ship it in mylar bags.
From Bloomberg's article: https://archive.ph/Lx3gi

"Gazprom said it isn’t able to fulfill its long-term contracts to supply gas due to unforeseen circumstances, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. Gazprom had no immediate comment."

"Gazprom has been delivering less gas than ordered by customers over the past month. The company cited problems with turbines that compress the gas that goes into the Nord Stream pipeline connecting Russia to Germany, while Ukraine has shut one of the entry point on the border with Russia to ensure safety after forces invaded a key compressor station."
There are parts where basically only the interface to the hardware is different (example as in the article: bluetooth). But there are also many, many piece of hardware that are bespoke. GPU, DCP, Interrupt controller and more. It's not really a serious hindrance with m1n1. As the communication can be snooped basically like using wireshark but on the hardware level. Don't get me wrong that doesn't make things easy. But it's definitely not an impossible task.
A hectare is 0.01 km², so Finland has 230,000 km² of forest.
I thought I loved animation but I learnt that I mostly love drawing, and hate the animation industry. I left twenty years ago and forged a career as a freelance illustrator, mostly drawing porn. It makes less money than working long hours for a corporation, but I’m making a lot of individual people happy with my work.

Very few passions survive contact with the industrialized version of their craft.
