I'm not so critical of the language itself (it's just another language), but how it's managed and promoted. I'm also critical about some of it evangelists. For example, from your comment I can learn I work in (or with?) a C shithole, that I don't want to try Rust (which I am learning, at my own slow pace) and that I don't want to use Rust because I have a confort zone, and "a symptom".

Tell me, how on earth I am going to be motivated to learn Rust, by reading something like that?

> We debug most of our time

I can't remember the last time I chased a memory bug of some sort. On embedded, to me, debug means chasing a logical bug or an internal peripheral not working, or finding workarounds for some external peripheral that is not working or answering as it should. So it really feels bad when I read the following sentence:

"is bug free. It's a magic experience"

What are you talking about? Perhaps free from "memory bugs"? As I said, I rarely deal with memory bugs.

> your own comfort zone

I develop and maintain 8, 16 and 32 bit projects, from Cortex-M down to MSP430/STM8. Also I'm in charge of embedded Linux and Android customization and builds, 32 and 64 bits (former Windows CE developer). I wish I had a comfort zone... sometimes.
Yeah it's pretty important if you're at such a terrible place to work at, because you can make that place a little less terrible, and because you can use the C# experience you garner to get into a less terrible job.

I'm a fully trained German lawyer and my method of knowledge acquisition at University was distilling books down to If-then-else statements, systematic relationships but mostly definitions and schemes. Putting it all in Anki and recording notes to audio files. My mantra was: I should know it all. I was working on the side to finance my studies 2-3 times a week as well. It was a full-time job 247 for almost a decade.

After University, I wanted to approach the same rigor to the topics I care about. Becoming the next Humboldt, Goethe and alike but all note-taking systems I have used over the past couple of years (PARA, Cornell Notes, Zettelkasten, Obsidian, Anki, recording audio files, simply writing in a text file, physical Journal, hope of simply remembering information etc.) always seemed promising first but eventually, I ran into the following problems:

1. Too time-consuming to maintain
2. Too detailed or too extensive to be useful to future me
3. Too constraining (Learning for me is a mix of organic accumulation [coming across same/similar topics over time] and guided thinking) and foreign to the way my brain operates
4. Not enough time for revision (big one)

... and probably many more problems I haven't discovered yet.

Since then, I've created my own system:

1. Using any text editor or pen and paper
2. I jot down my dominant feeling or dominant feelings after reading a piece of information (for example, I feel X after I've read Y)
3. Writing down answers to a couple of Why questions until I have found the root of feeling X
4. Writing out a thought experiment (if variable Z of [causes or root of feeling X] changes, how would it effect feeling X?)

A note-taking system should help you reflect on the information you take in and since we reflect in different ways, designing your own system will help you understand and remember information better. Occasionally wondering about the same topics over and over again and then remembering that you have already written about it a couple of times already, will start an inner dialogue that will get you further into a topic than you would have expected.

Learning for life and studying for a profession, is vastly different. It depends on whether you want to just know or to apply, and then throw as much time at it as you possibly can, in a way that enables you to differentiate between the important and irrelevant bits. Any note-taking system is just a platform for this process.
This was a EU-EU transaction anyway. Not once was there a problem regarding this.

Yes, the goal is to get light.

Therefore a valid comparison is to measure it against other sources of light, and not air conditioners. But anyway, saying it's "only" 1500W is incredibly odd. If your goal is just to "get light" then using 115* more energy than a 13W LED bulb is completely stupid. I understand that you might want more light than one bulb gives you, but even scaling up to 10 bulbs you're still a huge margin away from a Skypanel.

If you're running an art gallery or a showroom where the quality, color, and coherence of the light makes a difference then it makes some sense. If you're at home and you just want 'some light' then it's utterly ridiculous to use that much energy.
I take screenshots at fairly random intervals and have done for years. My earliest screenshots are from the 1990s.

I consider this an adjunct to my photography hobby. When I travel, I take opportunistic photos of interesting things I see. When I use the computer, I am a traveller in a digital universe and I do the same.

I find it really interesting to see the evolution of desktop UIs that I have used over the years, and to see the slow change in applications I typically use.
Considering Sourcehut
It's one of the larger ones in the world (same GW as the largest European countries), there's a lot of data available and it's the only one that recently collapsed. I cannot remember a similar collapse due to a mismatch of demand and supply in any other network that size, especially one where we get all the data for.

I believe the CA power grid gets similar attention here whenever there's any news. A post for a dashboard would've probably attracted as many upvotes.

Not exactly. It is a lot closer to pay for first view.

It’s kind of unclear from the article where this claim even comes from.

Was this something the journalist claimed to somehow know or was it something that the PIRA had told him?

Neither of them would be in a position to know especially at the time it was written, but it has all the hallmarks of the kind of “the enemy is 10ft tall” stories that tend to turn up in the fog of war.

The next part of that quote (in the article) though certainly suggests that the PIRA had perfectly good evidence to suggest that SOMETHING like this was happening based on their experience of actively manipulating it to their advantage.

It sounds reasonable as a concept without having to back up the specific technical claims of how the monitoring itself actually worked or it’s particular capabilities.

I could for example see it as something much closer to a manual operation IRL that just targeted the phones of know and suspected members along with payphones in certain areas and it would have appeared the same way to them.

They weren’t actually a particularly large organisation IRL and those passing operational messages over a public phone network was even smaller.

I’d hazard a guess that it’s not actually THAT difficult to put together a target list for surveillance that would narrow the scope down to something fairly reasonable. You aren’t actually looking for full coverage in this scenario you’re looking for a good signal to noise ratio and it ends up becoming a question of which calls are “unusual” and you could get a long way to answering with metadata alone, long before you ever thought to pass the actual contents of the call to an analyst.
I've tried Blazor. I built and deployed 3 apps for clients
over the last 3 years while consulting and was able to deliver the projects for 33% what it would have cost to deliver them with react or angular.

Clients have been very happy with the results.

Then I built my own startup with it, and we have a solution that 3 devs have been working on for 2 years.

I can't recommend Blazor enough. I love it.

I have run into a fuck ton of problems with MAUI though. It's a fucking dumpster fire of a technology.

* Blazor server side I have very limited experience with client side.

> You couldn't have picked a worse case for trying juveniles as adults. I think any country that wouldn't try these animals as adults couldn't be called civilized. Torturing and mutilating a 2 year old at the age of 10 is not recoverable human behavior.

That does not mean you have to try them as adults. You have to try them as 10 years old who have done that. Factually, they are not adults.

>or god forbid flicker

That's just terrible drivers - likely an unisolated AC with a single coil. Flicker is trivial to defeat sacrificing the power factor (just add filtering caps). Overall there is nothing hard about using constant driven high-freq (over 30KHz, so no sound interference, either) LEDs.

Side note: in the days of home video calls, you can tell how many have terrible lights as the flicker is visible on the even camera.
Little suspicious of a tool with no pricing information from a company that just raised $20 million. I assume it will not remain free.
As a European, it always baffled me that power outages are such a common phenomenon in the US. I've heard stories about rolling blackouts due to heat/cold from people in all areas in the US. Whereas in Europe, I cannot remember a single instance rolling blackouts were used because of a gap in supply.

Sure, Europeans pay more for electricity, but maybe that spare capacity and inter-connectivity is worth it.

> Therefore a valid comparison is to measure it against other sources of light, and not air conditioners.

I would definitely say that this is a false statement.

> If your goal is just to "get light" then using 115* more energy than a 13W LED bulb is completely stupid.

The goal is to get artificial sunlight. A 13W LED bulb doesn't do that. An air conditioner doesn't do that either.

However, it's nice to know how much power these lights use, so we compare them to other devices which use a similar amount of power. Air conditioners and space heaters use a similar amount of power.

> If you're running an art gallery or a showroom where the quality, color, and coherence of the light makes a difference then it makes some sense.

I don't think a SkyPanel makes sense in those applications. If you are just running an art gallery or showroom, get some ordinary high-quality lighting.
I wonder if the CIA fabrications of today only seem believable now and will seem unbelievable in 70 years.
What you describe may very well be a valid definition of "Libertarianism," but Libertarianism's modern form (at least in the United States) seems to fundamentally rely on the belief that individuals are on equal footing with megacorporations and that therefore removing restrictions on said megacorporations will result in them acting in ways that are better for society rather than worse.

But, given things such as the historical existence of company stores/scrip and the things mentioned in Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, I find such beliefs to be overly optimistic: we already have historical proof that companies will fail to pay workers with real money and will sell unsafe food to the public unless forced to do otherwise by government intervention.

Companies have less "freedom" now than they did 100 years ago, and we are better off for it.

Wind should work better than. Especially offshore. Tends to be much more expensive than solar in a sunny place like Texas, but also much more reliable/stable.

In the end, you'll always need a mix of supply. Or simply better insulation and efficient heat pumps rather than wasting electricity on heating at above freezing.
That depends on whether they are bytewise similar, which in turn depends on the details of the image encoding of the format you’re using. I would expect that, by default, no.
It seems to me that actually, productive and predictable teams finish what they start.

Going through the whole explanation, the base assumption is that tasks are clearly defined, there is few surprises, task pipelines seldom break in the middle because of external factors. Which is the hallmark of a predictable dev environment and by proxy, a productive team.

All the team has to do to increase it output is stop doing the tasks in parallel. Conveniently, there is no real explanation of the status quo, teams must have been really lazy and couldn't think by themselves why they were doing so.

This really feels like one more motivational preacher trying to sell that one weird trick to solve all your problem.
Static sites..

Combining the worst parts of static site user experience[1] with the worst parts of dynamic site administration[2].

[1] None of the potential benefits of a dynamic site, like searching and interactivity (not that they are always needed, but that IS the few things that dynamic sites are actually good for).

[2] Instead of the end-deliverable files, which are forever and have zero dependencies (like a true static site), you get additional infrastructure dependencies like you do on a dynamic site (your generator tool, simple as it may be, still has more dependencies than zero, it is, at the very least, a dependency in and of itself).

Winter, the North. The days are short, like really short.
I have found this to be repeated assertion by conservatives - that your political leaning somehow has to do with whether you are programmer or not. The underlying assumption, literally always, is that if you are progressive leaning, you cant be good programmer. And the other assumption is also frequent: if you are right leaning or even sexist/racist, then the assumption is that you are unusually good coder.

Both these go on regardless of how little information is available about one coding skills.
I think the purpose of this ratio is that a predictable low is better than an unpredictable high. It's sort of the same idea as padding out an ECD. Better to sometimes impress than sometimes disappoint.
Anything with canvas, or a very interactive experience I think Blazor is a bad fit for. I'd do just straight JavaScript or typescript.

But so much of the world is user clicks a button, run server side code, update html, and blazor is an amazing fit for that.

Like I'd never build a Google sheets, Microsoft word, or outlook replacement in Blazor.

But I'd totally build a hub spot, Salesforce, Facebook, reddit or hacker news clone with it.

Coming from Java, Go, and Javascript, C#/.net just plain sucks. Things that should be simple, e.g. Collections APIs.. aren't. I stopped trying after this realization.

I preferred the C# from 15 years ago compared to whatever is going on over there at present. If you're already indoctrinated into the ecosystem, I'm sure it's fine. Otherwise, buckle up - things are going to get choppy.
While hardware accelerators in robotics are very cool, and needed.
The fact that the entire workflow is ROS2 centric is a bummer.
FPGA and Accelerator Programming is already a huge PITA, and despite it's success ROS is really one of the worst frameworks I've ever used in terms of DX.
It makes an already hard problem, needlessly harder.

I wouldn't be surprised if they developed their own FPGA programming environment based on C++ and CMake, and all kinds of other custom language and tool shenanigans.

What kind of micromanagement did you experience / E.g. do you have an example?

I'm in the position where I as tech lead don't fully know if I can trust my team (yet) to do the right decisions. One of the reason is that our product is quite new, and we haven't discussed developing principles yet. And some people tend to over engineer stuff all the time. But I also don't want to micromanage.
There's a joke that mathematical results are named after the second person to prove them, the first person inevitable being Euler or Gauss, don't remember which.
To me it often feels like they are comparing the best conditions to all conditions. So for self driving only dry overcast well marked roads with no construction or surprises. Where as comparison include all conditions, from blizzard to blinding sunlight in between road construction on poorly maintained roads...

So not really apples to apples comparison. Unless FSD is as safe in middle of blizzard when positioning system is being jammed it fails for me...
> So would it be possible to install software or hardware which always returns a "success" from the card reader hardware without it actually doing the transaction and give everyone who uses that machine free food until someone figures it out? Hmm…

Almost certainly not on EMV certified card acquirers, unless there is a bug in the firmware. These things are so locked down that, even as an authorised developer for the payment terminal, we had no access to the hardware, no way to view the cards encrypted payload, etc.

Yep. And if nobody actually cares about the feature like everyone thought they would, great we didn't waste time. If they hate it (usually through feature flags of product trials), and work needs to be done, simply flip the flag back off.

It's a great way to do small-medium features.
The problem just is that it's really hard to find good LEDs. Maybe they're all being sold to industrial consumers, but it's been a pain to find good LEDs if you're looking for anything more "exotic". E.g. dimmable LEDs work and are available, but there is so much cheap trash out there while good brands are often sold out. And for many sockets, there's maybe one manufacturer offering it, if at all. I've had instances where only cheap vendors offered LEDs for a certain socket.
I've never seen Tesla's "autopilot" avoid an accident that a human driver wouldn't have reacted to sooner. Maybe the standard of driving in the US is very low, or something.
Well, the clamping diodes that are present in all I/O pins are supposed to be used only for ESD protection. I think they were refering to the fact that some people have used them (and a quite big series resistor) as a "cheap" way to connect them to AC directly. There's even a application note (from 1997!) mentioning this: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/00521c.pdf
Obviously the device loses its galvanic isolation and should be kept in an enclosure that can't be touched.

This can also be used for "accepting" 5v inputs in 3.3v devices, provided that the clamping current doesn't support the maximum allowed.
Other microcontrollers don't always define maximum values for those currents, so it might be harder to use them like that.

Typical LED lighting is approximately free, or close enough to zero that calculating a percentage change in cost isn't especially, ah, enlightening. The goal of the comparison is to attempt to contextualize the absolute rather than relative cost, relying on the monthly cost of air conditioning (approximately "a lot", or at least noticeable) being a more familiar value than the monthly cost of 100 light bulbs (which are individually so cheap as to vanish into noise).
Given that our perception of introversion & extroversion is on a scale, what is your definition of "very long".

It was a civil war, mixed up with religion. The only "british" people were the army/RUC, the rest were people from ireland. NI is not part of great britian. NI is _not_ british.

The IRA (well second/third gen by this point) had an army that was being funded partly by american's "fighting the fight of the old country". They bombs, shot, and tortured anyone they thought who were dodgy.

On the other side, the Loyalist paramilitaries were kidnapping and shooting people in a similar way.

One could make the call to say the reason why the loyalists wern't so keen on bombings (they did do them) was because you could argue that the RUC(the police in NI) and the army were acting on their side.

For example the republicans rarely called the fire brigade/ambulance because more often than not, the army would be pretending to be them. There were "murder squads" of SAS/others who would go out and "stop" people based on informer intelligence.

So yes, its brilliant that we(NI, ireland, UK) have managed to stop this. If that means that people have to live with the murder next door, so be it. Its far better than another generation of killings that has poisoned NI since the 1920s.

on a side note, do you know how hard it is to forgive/live with the "other side" when you personally know a dad, uncle, relative that was murder by the state/paramilitary?
