You use a tool to convert your HDL code (Verilog, VHDL or something else) to a bitstream which then needs to be sent to the FPGA to configure its components. Most of these tools and the bitstream formats are proprietary. So, for Intel you want to download Quartus, and for Xilinx you want Vivado. Both are free but I have only used Vivado, which you only need to buy if you want to use it with very expensive FPGAs. After the bitstream has been generated, you need connect your board to your computer to send the bitstream to it, and the board handles the FPGA's interface to actually program it. As a consumer you can buy bare FPGA chips and make your own board, but for learning and prototyping you probably want to just buy a development board. Digilent has some very nice ones with various peripherals.
What I've found as a good compromise is "small-form-factor" pcs, like the HP *desk SFF.

They usually come with mostly full-size components, so they're quiet, take regular DIMMs, etc.

I have an EliteDesk 800 g2 SFF which can take, OOB, three 3.5" drives and one 2.5". If you chuck the optical drive, there's space for a second 2.5".

If you're not afraid to take a dremel to it, the original 2.5" can be modified to house a 3.5" and you could probably stack one or two more 3.5" under one of the existing cages.

You'll also probably want to stick some fans in there somehow with all the drives, but there's space enough. It doesn't have enough SATA ports, but you can find half-height PCIe controllers.

---

If you don't want to hack on a case, the most compelling I've found is using one of those MBs with integrated intel CPU. Some of them should be powerful enough for ZFS and can take PCIe cards. You can put all this inside a Fractal Design Node or something similar.
I've been deploying to the serverless stack on Azure (Functions, Service Bus), and have been mostly happy.

Azure gets a lot of hate around here and it's hard to disagree with some of the lived experiences.

That said, mine have been mostly positive overall. Yeah, the support isn't exactly stellar, yeah, the deployments are not 100% reliable (but close), but which stack has zero issues?

For me, the benefits vastly outweigh the issues.

For Functions, Service Bus, App Insights, I don't really care about the infra I once set it up. Everything is automated, from deployments to scaling when traffic hits. The team I contract for has 0 dedicated (Dev)Ops. Compared to another project where we used k8s, that's a big win - there, we had 3-4 dedicated k8s experts on staff to keep the lights on.

Some services that we use on Azure are not really serverless, like the managed Postgres. That's sub-optimal as the database can very quickly become the bottleneck and can't keep up with the autoscaled function instances. I hope that what Neon[1] is trying to do - truly serverless Postgres - takes off and I wish Azure had that.

The tooling and integrations that Azure has is also a big win in my book. For instance, migrating a static website to Azure Static Web Apps (omg why didn't they just call it "Pages"?) is super easy. You get automatic deploys from main/master and automatic preview environments for pull requests. All it takes is a simple Github workflow. I don't think I would want to manage my own infra for that.

The downside of the serverless model is that once you hit a bug or a limitation of the platform, all you can do is open a ticket and hope for the best. Whereas if you own the server, well, you can dig in, obviously.

For me, once I understand the trade-offs and serverless comes out ahead, I go all in. YMMV.

These are signs of high growth markets, and how counter-intuitive the exponential growth of the internet has been.

At the beginning we had Github. And that was enough. Then we had Gitlab, and most of us wondered: "who are these crazy dudes that want to compete with Github?".
They were absolutely right, and the market grew so big that they found their own space.

Now, more alternatives keep appearing (like OP's).

It happened the same with Slack or Zoom. When Slack/Zoom came out I thought: who would want to compete with (Skype,hipchat)/(Google Meet, etc). But the markets grew a lot and there was room for everybody.

I guess I'm not very smart about business :')

Best of luck OP!
No because by this rule TikTok is less problematic, it's just entertainment, it doesn't take the crown from FB/Twitter/YT for doing the most damage to society. Same for surveillance, the surface area is just too small compared to others.
GitHub arguably have been turning around a bit and are starting to become more like GitLab. Initially, GitHub just cared about hosting code and enabling social features, while GitLab early focused on becoming "everything" for building services. Lately, GitHub are trying to become GitLab though.
> Something that can't be accomplish more coherently with a simple function?

I think an example of `Iterable` (sort of like the one in the article) is a very ham-fisted way of getting this sort of check into Python code.

In the end, doesn't the difference just boil down to

class Iterable(ABC):

@classmethod
def __subclasshook__(cls, C):
return hasattr(C, "__iter__")

vs.

def is_iterable(t: Type):
return hasattr(t, "__iter__")

Where the first makes it harder to use `Iterable` incorrectly (i.e. supplying a non-type as parameter).

I can imagine that a Java or C# programmer would call the first version more "coherent" because it gives the interface `Iterable` a name explicitly.

Sort of like there's not reaaaaally a reason to use Extension Methods in C# (of course there are, but in a lot of simple scenarios there aren't) as opposed to static methods taking a Type as single parameter.
Dictionary sorting is a mess anyway.

For example Finnish there is the fact that ÅÄÖ are at the end. Make sense as Ä and Ö are entirely different letters and Å is common enough in names.

But where it actually gets fun is that V and W can be considered to be same letter and thus can be sorted together... Though so that W is after V... And that is not even considering the accents or letters from other latin-scripts...

And then there is compound words. Which can be sorted either be sorted based on base words and their use in compound words or with morphemes. Or just alphabetically...

And even fun articles aren't always clear cut even in English.

Most people think that their values come from some immanent "Self" but in reality our values mostly come from our surroundings. The same baby with the same genetics raised in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma vs. Upper West Side New York will have extremely different values, go farther than that and the difference in values is almost unrecognizable. If you or I grew up in wealthy families in ancient Greece, we would think NOT owning slaves was weird and suspicious.
I wouldn't say most of these roles are anything different than you'd expect at most tech companies unless you are involved in the production trading/tech activity (trading-related ops, recruiting for traders/devs). Helpdesk/facilities usually isn't anything special.
Yes, developers will need to implement workaround in the case when A1 and B1 cannot use the same version of C1. So how does the function versions approach solve the problem?

For using CI/CD to build every version of every app against every version of every dependencies, even if we just ignore the problem of combinatorial explosion, some software may be abandonware and some may be entirely new. The set of versions of dependencies that work with them may not even overlap, so the 'correct' combination may not even exist.

I think the function versioning approach is just a way to maintain backward compatibility, it is not required for backward compatibility, nor enough for backward compatibility.
Isn't #1 the most likely, given that most quantum interactions take exponential time to simulate on classical computers with any known algorithm?
Thank you for seconding OneDev!
My guess would be "so that they make money", which is important in some context.
Based on your definitions, would you agree that real diversity is immeasurable, and that the only way to foster real diversity is to allow "fake" diversity to thrive?

Viewing diversity as a means to an end, which is productivity, will never work without a wider context. Humans are ends to themselves, and trying to optimize for "productive" diversity will always backfire. Diversity leads to both beauty and ugliness, productivity and stagnation, [thing-you-like] and [thing-you-don't-like] - you can't have one without the other.

I'm aware of dams. I'm not aware of your fancy alternatives. It is therefore reasonable to assume that those fancy alternatives aren't widely deployed. And that the main reason for this is that they're more expensive (per energy unit).

Without sources, your (admittedly plausible) qualitative arguments are just a pretty story.

It can be worth agonizing over the decisions early on while the system is simple and easy to change. Later on it's often not logistically, politically or socially justifiable to go back and fix or improve an original bad design decision and re-base and retest everything built on it.

The result is engineers sat around muttering "I told you so" to themselves and wasting weeks debugging and hacking around bugs.

> analysis revealed that all four risk factors are expected to

An interesting article in that it skillfully avoids saying why. That's
not an error of journalism. We're supposed to "know", tut to
ourselves, and move on. The combination of avoidance, passive writing
style and implication, leaves the reader a perfect space to fill with
their own prejudices.

So now we can talk about massive public health decline in an offhand
way, as if it were a force of nature. Obviously these poor and lazy
people bring it upon themselves. At best they are victims of some kind
of "economic determinism". Nowhere are the perpetrators in this
picture.

> Small business has been shrinking drastically for generations now all across the globe. Especially outside of tech.

I am not saying it is not true but it would be good to have some data about this.
Cafes, bakeries, small restaurants, lawyer offices, flower shops are all small businesses, a lot of them run by 1 or 2 people.

I guess it depends what we consider a small business.
And a lot of USA houses are built so very cheaply.

Why would he be stuck? Many people are pragmatists over purists, wouldn't be far out if Linus was as well. I've written many tools myself that were better than anything I could find, but at a later point I found a "competitor" that did something better than me, and subsequently dumped my tool in favor of the better one. I for one don't care who writes the software, if it's better it's better.

Thing is, in many job positions "A players" add a lot of value, "B players" add reasonable value, and "C players" still do some useful work, it's only D- that are worthless.

However, for CxOs the dynamic is as the grandparent post mentioned, that mediocre CEOs add trivial value and the weak CEOs are actively harmful; so the expected tolerance to B-players should be quite different.

I think COVID is enough to disprove this idea. That was the bear market that turned bull ... for some sectors but not others. I don't think the cycles are predictable enough to make more profit (on average) than a buy the index strategy.

The highly mathematical quants hired by trading firms are doing something pretty different. They are trying to find opportunities for profit wherever they exist using advanced techniques. It is much different to you or me casually using what seems like a "common sense" approach. Most people who say "of course it will..." find that the next quarter is the exception to their definite rule about how everything works.

The same author would say something similar about C/C++ where by obtaining the address of a function and then writing a value to that address you can change the code of the program.

Yes, you are misusing the API. No, there ARE valid use-cases for it: for example a lot of testing/mocking facilities in Python are so easy to implement because of these features. No, the fact that you can't do it in statically typed languages does not imply Python must go the same way.

This book grabbed my eye too, but then I saw Matthew Sweet on Twitter (@DrMatthewSweet) kept questioning the studies used and suggesting that Hari has cherry picked results to support his point. I've no idea if this was the case but some interesting stuff to look at I think.

I'm trying to optimize my setup which is rather clunky with Todoist, Fantastical and Notion and thought that this might be the killer. No other calendars than google made me hit the cancel button straight away tho.

Idea seemed good but even if exchange calendar would be there, it still is a bit too rough (from a 5min session) in terms of features/UI to warrant this cost. With the plethora of similar apps, if you'd up the price to the full $14/month, I'd be amazed if this will become a big thing.

If someone from todoist is reading this thread, please take note how awesome a drag-and-drop todo-list to calendar functionality can work!
Yes, but that competition is using lots of proteins that are similar to other known proteins, as far as I understand.

There is also a lot of sub-structure that helps - similar parts of proteins tend to fold in similar ways, so even if you don't have real predictive power on unknown sequences, you may do quite well for a protein that is 90% the same as one in the training set - you will be quite correct on ~90% of the folds, even if your pretty way off on the remaining 10%.

Note that all of this is not to minimize the success of what AlphaFold achieved. I am just trying to explain how you can do well at this problem without having discovered some deeper deterministic structure in protein folds.
Yes, all depends on how you spend your money. $5m will get you something decent in Manhattan, but you could live like a King somewhere else. I have a friend that retired off just over $1m as he moved back to his small hometown. House cost $30k, drives the same car for 15 years, lives frugally.

Any business that grows eventually gets taken over by shareholders and their goals of maximising profits so they can get their dividends or other benefits. They think their product has become invincible and nothing could sink it. Then when they think it actually might sink they double down on extracting profits.
This strategy is always against the users of the product, so eventually they get tired of it a seek for an alternative.
Then they find an alternative, it grows... and cycle repeats...

That financial question couldn't get settled without a very bloody and costly war, mostly killing people with no (or indeed a negative) financial interest in the system continuing.

It's not a hopeful comparison, but illuminating I think. Centuries later, the propaganda generated is still having negative effects.
