If you just want a little Linux box and don't need GPIO, I'd recommend buying a used "thin client" from eBay. These are usually low-end x86(-64) machines with decent connectivity but not much storage, as they're meant to just display the UI for apps running on a server somewhere. You can generally hack more storage into them pretty easily.

A 4-thread machine with case, heat sink, power supply, 8gb ram, and an SSD can be had for less than the MSRP of a bare 8GB RPi 4.

One downside is power: the thin clients generally idle around 5-10W and use 20W or more at peak; compared to the Pi which will idle at 2 watts and use 10W peak.

http://parkytowers.me.uk/thin/ is a great resource for understanding the different models that are available.
Some people who push these values on social media care way more about the image of being a "successful person" than actually doing what it takes to achieve success (which rarely involves bragging about how hard you work on social media).

They're at best untrustworthy sources and at worst snakeoil salesmen.

Speaking of the latter there's a special brand of cognitive dissonance being shown here.

If there were some surefire way to be rich and happy, etc. in a very short period of time. A system so simple that anyone could follow it then why doesn't everyone?

If you really believe that these habits would make anyone successful then you have to explain why everyone isn't doing it.

And they convince others and themselves that it's because most people aren't willing to do what it takes. They won't sacrifice their comfort or friends or whatever to the point that it takes to be successful.

If you do all these things are still aren't rich and retired? Well it must mean you haven't sacrificed enough or worked hard enough or whatever!

The real answer is that none of these habits are a guarantee of success. Are they good ideas? Sure! Like for sure eat healthy, get enough sleep, read books, and work out.

Like everything though there are tradeoffs, often on your time, and moderation can be the key for most people. There are other inputs into your success and there's no one size fits all plan that works for everyone.
A few years ago I got some books for free from a second-hand bookstore here in Zagreb, Croatia, where I live. One of those was a Real World OCaml book with a dedication from Jane Street Team to someone named Gustav. There were also some other books about functional programming given for free. I guess Gustav decided functional progamming wasn't for him, and just dumped those books to the first bookstore he could find.

Also, a few years back, I borrowed The Agebraist by Iain M. Banks from a local library and found his signature in there on the title page.
Latin for Lawyers 2nd edition
seems to be based on E. Hilton Jackson ( a lawyer) & Broom's Legal Maxims
published 1937, sweet & maxwell

(Book was from ebay, unread condition)
Pasted inside front cover -

This book is a typical text excercise book from the years between the two world wars!
It is almost useless in imparting any understanding of the subject. Almost all books on any subject tended to be like this and students often had to battle to make sense of incomprehendible texts. Even with the help of of a tutor it is difficult to see how anyone could follow it.
Anyone trying to use it alone would entirely be lost and confused.
There is no account of how to use it, no help with following the numbering system, and above all no ANSWERS!
Even someone with a school grounding in Latin would have difficulty.

It is a fine example of the dry, pedantic and often unhelpful attitude of the time in the teaching profession where simple facts were often presented in an unnecessarily convoluted way, simply it seems because this was the academic fashion
This habit only died out after WWII
It has a parallel in the Victorian.habit of giving quite ordinary toys elaborate Greek names, such as the Phenakistoscope!

That’s a fair challenge. I think it’s a little different though - the SoC was one component of the iPhone - so full details of the competing product weren’t being shared.

Plus when the relationship started volumes were small for both iPhone and Samsung phones. As we know Apple ended the relationship eventually.

I struggle to see Lisa Su handing this info to Intel even with some strong safeguards.
Thanks for your comment. Our vision of this space goes beyond autocompletion, for example currently we have documentation and the code edit functionality. We are also building out our own LLMs to support other functionality like AI refactoring.
So cool. Took me back to my childhood instantly. You nailed it
i would disagree i use em in production apps, i configured it and it works if you do it blindly it happens that sometimes things break but if you configure it, it will work

Thank you! I know Maddox did a similar gag in the early 2000's, but I always think of the Mad version.
Years ago at the university, we had to buy straightup photocopies of articles and such out of books/magazines/whatever that the class would be taught off of at the campus bookstore at prices much higher than per-page copy.

Something about paying the source for licensing and distribution was the reason given.
Isn't fine tuning ~= spending time configuring? How much configuration and fine tuning you need is subjective. I personally don't like using it vanilla, particularly if I'm working on a big codebase.

I love all those fancy modes and they are all part of my workflow -- ivy, ivy-ripgrep , magit, lsp (for autocompletion, code navigation), diff-highlight, perspective, swiper, flycheck, projectile etc etc. I like to figure out keybindings, that work for me over long term. You also don't want to make it feel bloated, overwhelming, and slow meanwhile. Without all these, it is just good for doing quick edits.

In the end I want to be productive with the codebases I work with. There was a time, pre-LSP and native-comp when Emacs was getting super slow, and I was ready to jump ship to VSCode, plainly because I wasn't feeling productive/efficient with Emacs anymore.

Edit: to give further context. When you install LSP, it may or may not be as per your taste. For me, I don't like bunch of UI stuff it adds like breadcrumbs, doc popups, sidebars. So you'd spend sometime finding the right config to disable. Now multiply this with bunch of other packages you like, figuring out right set of keybindings that are intuitive and easy, it all takes a bit of time IMO.
> but you can get away with pretty crappy docs if you do all of the above

Depends on your audience, I suspect. When evaluating something for use, the first thing I look at are the docs. No docs, or just videos pretending to be documentation makes it super easy to skip and move on to the next possibility. Crappy docs means I only come back to it if everything else is worse.
Reminds me of that line from that movie "you and your stupid mate" where the guy ignores the letter and doesn't open and he says something like "If I wait 5 days and then open it, if it's bad news then that's 5 extra days of happiness that I got that I wouldn't have got if I opened it now".

Can't fault that logic.
> ...Why can't we have an Apple that is the size it is now, but concentrates on making better products?

> If you look at the last 10 years of Apple products, it is clear that many decisions were made to favor growth (e.g. revenue) over customer satisfaction. Their products are often made worse and delight us less, because someone decided that growth is more important.

The shareholders care about making money and little else: they don't care about releasing better products. If worse products will make them more money, the shareholders will demand the company make its products worse, and they'll get their way.
Wow did Cloudflare outsource all their development work to some cheap agency or how come they develop features like this with zero security and pretty damn naive, simplistic and childish bugs you wouldn’t expect from a company that routes half of the internet’s traffic through their servers.
I use DC on Mac and TC on Win. One of the problems with Mac DC is that the key reassignment don't use the standard Mac Control, Option, Command keys. They do map to the Win equivalents of Ctrl, Alt, Win keys but not always. And trying to override the Mac's almost hard key assignment of the F1-F12 keys is problematic.

GDPR has compliance costs even if you are doing nothing that violates privacy. As long as you've got data that can be associated with a user you might have GDPR obligations, including handling inquiries from users about what data you have about them, requests from users to delete their data, and similar.

Just being able to receive such requests has costs, because GDPR requires that you have a contact in the Union that users can contact for such things.

So say you've got an online forum in California and some EU people join and participate. Whether or not that is enough to make you subject to GDPR depends on Article 3(2). There's lots of subjectiveness in Article 3(2) so it is not at all clear where the boundaries are.

If it does, then whether or not you have to have an in-Union representative is covered under Article 27. You do not need one if your processing of covered data is all of the following: (1) occasional, (2) does not fall under some special categories of data, (3) is unlikely to result in a "risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons".

That's pretty fuzzy. What is occasional processing?

If you aren't sure that GDPR does not apply, or aren't sure that if it does your processing is occasional enough to fly under Article 27's radar, you need an Article 27 representative.

Eventually there will be rulings from EU data regulators that will make the boundaries of Article 3(2) clearer, so that you may be able to stay in "does not apply" without blocking. Or maybe rulings will clarify Article 27 so you will be able to confidently determine that your processing is occasional enough to not need a rep.

There's actually a lot of unclarity in GDPR. Take the data subject's right to have you delete their data. How do you actually implement that? Writing some scripts to delete from your database is probably not too hard.

But what about backups? Do you need to go through all your backup sets and delete their data from those? What about printed records (yes, GDPR covers printed data)? Offsite long term archives?

For a site like a forum, what about data that was in messages they posted that were quoted in messages from other users?

Until all these kind of things are cleared up by EU data regulator rulings it can make a lot of sense for a site that is aimed mainly at a non-EU audience to block EU users.
It's not really about financial risk. It's about trust. The FICO score is being used as a proxy for trust, which is problematic.

If you don't use credit or use it minimally your credit score will begin to fall.

Hi guys, first great effort and as someone who worked in a metabolomics lab I know how amazingly sensitive and rich the information one can gather even from a small amount of blood.

That said, the million dollar question you have to answer in healthy persons is "how is this better than normal lab tests? (CBC, CMP, TSH, UA)?" For example regarding diabetes - there is HbA1c and microalbuminuria, both of which can detect abnormal glucose years before diabetes and prevent it.

If you can prove that these tests add value to the battery of already very cheap and ubiquitous tests, then you will have widespread adoption.

Clinical metabolomics is a very nascent field and best of luck to you!
This goes back to when my daughter was little, many years pre-covid. Whenever we went to a pizza restaurant that had a mini arcade with games and vending machines, she would check all of the change return trays. And inevitably, she would come back with a quarter or two. Every time. I figured maybe it was luck coming from her Irish ancestry.
SQL is a leaky abstraction, which makes your system more brittle. The front-end now has intimate knowledge about the physical data management. You don't want that. If later you decide you want to change your physical data layout to improve data storage and retrieval performance then your queries have to be modified. The front-end and data tier can't vary independently from one another. That's what makes your system brittle.

That's not even getting into the tremendous attack surface you've just opened leaving your application vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. SQL injection is a real problem and scrubbing all the inputs is a pain and you can never be sure you got everything. One mistake and congratulations! - you've made headline news!

These are the problems GraphQL solves.

It definitely has supplanted them in Iceland. Even the most remote places that used to use oil are generally switching to geothermal for heating. Converting the heat to power isn’t always worth it because the island has so much plentiful hydro power. Fossil fuels account for basically 0% of Icelandic power.

When did my PhD in a Southern European country -- I completed it 15 years ago -- I was getting 800 euros a month after taxes. Right now, PhD students get no more than 1000 euros a month after taxes. It is peanuts, difficult to live on that salary, almost impossible to have a family. Difficult to say if it is too little or too much, on the one hand it is a student position, on the other we are talking about skilled graduates with possible important contributions to offer.
I definitely see the value of management, marketing, and especially product management. Having worked at places with and without that function, I'm more convinced than ever that software architects are a net negative.
I use a local credit union as well and also just use their website.
Pretty much this, just run android without GMS and you quickly discover how limited it can be if you don't know what your doing.
The problem is not about removing though. The problem is what/who guarantees that nothing broke after all these files are removed? Especially in obscure code paths in nested dependencies?

With something like alpine linux/ubuntu minimal, you trust the package maintainers to make sure that if you use python in your docker image it would work like it worked for them. Out here, it just says "Yes (it is safe)! Either way, you should test your Docker images.".

As a bad example, if a library used by your application uses a different "theme" requiring different files at night and different files during the day, you might still say "it worked during my tests" but things definitely broke and the only thing you can blame is this overzealous tool.

That bad example was from back when i was trying to make AppImages for an application we used. At first all we did was recursively collect all the libraries reported by ldd. Then it turned out some libraries were only being dlopen'ed by other libraries under specific circumstances and we missed them. So we manually added those libraries. Then it turned out that we missed the config files and other resources used by those libraries. Eventually we shipped all the files belonging to all the distro packages used by the libraries we used and left it at that.
>You can go on a bicycle ride without measuring speed and distance.

It's kind of wild how people need metrics - myself included - in order to feel like they did something. I have been really trying to address that in my own life after I found it had creeped so far into my daily life that it was influencing what video games I play. I mean...what?

I blame it on the fitbit I got years ago haha

This thread is bringing back so many bad memories.
I took a German literature course in the 90s, the professor used the same quizzes and tests since the early 60s.

A buddy of mine had a copy and I took the class for an easy A. The only gotcha is that you had to be physically present and give him advance notice of you were to be out.
One other component of this argument that I believe is missing is the PhD by publication. This would allow someone to be a researcher and work towards a PhD in the manner the author describes.

why would anybody want to be unhealthy and unproductive? what is to be gained from those two characteristics?
That's the specifics of my intentions. The character traits are working class, Eastern European 1st or 2nd gen immigrant, Brooklyn and early 20th century mostly because that's where it came from during Vaudeville.

What's notably absent there is "Jewish" because that actually has nothing to do with this character (although it's often included).

The character is sarcastic, antagonizing, nosy, noisy, and arrogant. They want to be first but they're always last. Petty, self-important, unable to keep a secret and just a bit insufferable, they invite themselves over, make hasty and absurd judgments, and take center stage.

A lot of classic characters are a stone's throw away from that. Take Millie Helper from the Dick Van Dyke show, the 1949-56 Goldbergs, Rhoda, even Maude from Harold where Maude is a brilliant hack of the character, Ethyl Mertz, Gladys Kravitz, Max Bialystock or Gilbert Gottfried who made his career playing this character. Rodney Dangerfield mostly assumed this character for his standup.

They all rotate around some character gravity well with a couple things knocked around and provide a similar character dynamic for the story. You can see it in say Danny Devito's character in Twins, Edgar Bergen's dummies from Vaudeville, and borrowed selectively by the Marx Brothers and the Three Stooges.

Married with Children is another brilliant execution because the archetype is draped over multiple characters in various configurations.

You can find earlier versions of the characters in Vaudeville acts like Smith and Dale or Gilbert Gottfried's predecessor Jimmy Durante which is arguably where the cultural mannerisms got linked in. You can see it in some of the characters of Out of the Inkwell cartoons by Fleischer and Fleischer (creator of Betty Boop)

Call it whatever you want but it's not strictly Jewish and there's plenty of Jewish comedians that do not do that character such as Jon Stewart, Peter Sellers, Seth Rogan, Jack Black, Louis CK or Sascha Baron Cohen and any character can fit that archetype such as the parrot in Aladdin or Bugs Bunny.

It's adjacent but distinct.

Anyways I wasn't conflating the two

> the theft of trillions in IP

This is just pure propaganda.
If one can accurately count for the IP theft and come up with a value number. And argue that it's trillions theft from the US business man, without those business man not refarining from doing business in China, then the basic profit-seeking behavior is not working in the US China bilateral business dealing.

You can claim that US businesses lost trilliones which are larger than the profit they collected, and assume that the business men are stupid and not knowing the value of their IP.

That's just senseless argument.

> the theft of trillions in IP over decades as "some online hacking".

Online hacking is very small part from China. And they are usually backed be global hackers from compromised hosts located in Chinese territory.
