Somewhat related question: a few years back I saw a dedicated "low-power e-paper Wikireader" type of product which could display a text-only backup of Wikipedia. In essence just a niched e-book reader, really, but with the additional effort of putting it all together in a usable format. Does anyone know of a modernized solution that displays images as well?

It's much like neuroscience. We can say a lot about what individual cells and molecules do and how they interact with other cells and molecules. And yet, when it comes to actually modifying or changing anything, we're mostly hopelessly lost and nearly all of our solutions are of the variety: "put this drug into the bloodstream and see what happens, oops, that didn't work and took 5 years to complete trials, time to try the next one". The complexity is immense in biology and medicine and we have a hard time dealing with any of it in a meaningful way, other than to present extremely vague theories without practical use (like talking about "prediction" and "Markov blankets" in neuroscience, the "discontinuity" theory of immunity, etc.
It is a small business, one guy does EE the other does SE.

Their model was to buy parts as they are needed depending on order volume (JIT).

Now with the shortages it is not possible. You can calculate how many orders you may get within a year and place a back order for these parts.
1000 MCUs alone is like £20k. They were looking at spending £50k total and facing no income at all until the parts arrive.

I would argue that RPC systems shouldn't be burdened down with features like this. If you want to exchange more date than either endpoint can buffer comfortably in memory split it up into several RPC messages e.g. create large object, define byte range, seal object. If the producer can precompute the length and hash you can simplify things by using content addressing to reference such objects and replicate them. If you can afford the overhead breaking them up into Merkle DAGs reasonably sized leaves is a good idea to allow validating and resuming partial transfers. It matters if your devices are connected via PCIe in a single chassis or mobile networks spread over half the world and datacenter optimised protocol won't be optimal for expensive, slow, unreliable links.

Monzo do have good tech, but I've also heard that there is a "surprising amount of legacy tech" there as well. I'd interpret that as either they do too many re-writes of things, and/or they're perhaps not building at the level of quality that they should have been. They have some excellent engineers in the early team, but I've also seen a lot of very inexperienced people go there, so that in combination with a "move fast" mentality, will likely result in a lot of codebase issues and churn.

Starling seem to have taken a "slow and steady wins the race" sort of approach, and had a bunch of experienced engineers build a boring old Java app. Nothing special but I'm not surprised that it is working out ok in the long run.
I believe a customs union and common market are not nothing. The article is a bit too optimistic in speaking already of a federation. The EU shows that a political union is difficult, but simultaneously shows that a union of currencies, customs, borders, and regulations can be wonderfully effective. In this spirit, the EAC is going in the right direction.
In Britain (possibly also Ireland, Malta, Cyprus) lighting and sockets are usually on separate circuits. The lighting circuit has a 5 amp fuse or breaker, enough for 12-20 old incandescent bulbs. A typical house probably has one circuit for each floor.

> He's still a legend here, especially for the ruling party (CSU) of this virtual one-party state.

The CSU, thank God, hasn't been ruling alone since 2018 and it is highly unlikely that they will ever be able to do so again. They will be in government for a long time though, mostly because the SPD in Bavaria is an ongoing clusterfuck and won't rise high enough to form a red-green coalition.

I manage a team which runs elastic clusters for customers.

> The effort alone [...] is massive unless you have a big team.

I'd like to put a different spin on that statement: operating a large production cluster requires a lot of expertise and probably a certification, but is apart from getting that experience not particularly time intensive thanks to elastic's excellent tooling.

> One of the Opensearch clusters I have with AWS

Our experience with elastic PaaS hasn't been that stellar either. We manage our own cloud clusters.
> Rigorous scholarship can of course be valuable, especially if combined with broader community engagement - but most of the time the notion of an "intellectual" refers to nothing more than pointless navel-grazing, with very little in the way of real, enduring achievement.

To be honest, you raise a valid point; often the people who show the highest degrees of intellectual vigor are those the purportedly intellectual institutions reject. Einstein wasn't actually a poor student, nor was he ever thought to be stupid, but he was an absolute misfit in academia even then, and he would have failed out of the conformist environment today (in large part because, as an ostensibly mediocre graduate student, he'd never have gotten his 1905 papers published or read at all). Which raises the question of why we have them in the first place. Brilliant kids who grow up in Harlem will never get into Harvard; complete dolts from prominent families do; so why have it at all? It becomes a long discussion.

The issue in discriminating "navel gazing" from "enduring achievement" is just that latter adjective. We don't know ahead of time what will endure. We have to be more accepting of the 999 contributions and efforts that, in the long run, will not amount to very much in order to get the 1000th that will. The tradeoff is that, while we ought to nurture genuine contributions as if they all have intrinsic value, we have to get better as a society at preventing charismatic (or merely randomly successful) artifacts from taking up all the oxygen and starving what we really want to see. We have to be tolerant of intellectuals who want to offer their ideas, but intolerant of those who insist on only their ideas being heard.

House of Design | Linux Software Engineer | REMOTE (within US) | Full Time

House of Design create automation systems for truss creation in the housing industry. I'm currently looking to bring on someone to own the definition and maintenance of our product Linux distribution.

This role would be ideal for someone with experience using Yocto/OpenEmbedded/Bitbake. You will also need to be fluent with python, bash, and git. Some experience with AWS , Bitbucket automation, distribution maintenance, or open-source development, would be a plus.

This is a remote role, although the company is based in Nampa, ID. If you want to work onsite, that works too. Your choice.

If you look closely, that "vow of user privacy" is limited in scope, and I believe it still applies to Meta companies.

> We hope to use massive amounts of data to aid in analysis, but your individual data will never be seen by anyone else.

It means no one will look at your individual data, but it means nothing about aggregated data. In fact they are definitely saying that they are going to use your personal data "for analysis". And I believe it is what, for example, Facebook is doing.

People at Facebook won't look at your individual data, there are billions of users, they have other things to do than to look at your boring profile, and I believe there are company policies in place that prevent employees from actively looking at the few "less boring" profiles. They work on a large scale, using bots, is is more along the lines of "what to show people who use the word "dog" a lot, in order to maximize revenue".
Getting samples of G4's was pretty easy. Since its a fairly new part, there was a large stock that distributors had for engineering samples. The story is very different for things like the F5/F7's and even getting small sample volumes is very hard.
No weirder a take than the parent post rejecting the idea of putting oneself in the picture.
Agreed, one thing I always reply when people ask about what language, middleware to use, I always give the non-answer of using whatever people are confortable with.

Minecraft would probably never have happened, if Notch started by asking in the forums if he should use Java or not.

Likewise many 8 and 16 bit titles started as BASIC, C, Pascal prototypes before being rewritten into Assembly, after their concept was proven, or thrown away before too much was invested into them.

Discussing what languages, middleware, API, whatever, instead of actually designing the game is what slows development down.
"I wouldn't be surprised if researchers and labs are looking for ways to activate SLC25A51 chemically to get the NAD+ flowing to SIRT3 without requiring fasting."

To what end ?

Fasting would be cheaper, easier and less time-consuming and would include all of the related, broad-spectrum effects that we also believe fasting may produce.

I guess if you're a pharma investor or existing, entrenched player it makes sense to go that direction.

As a consumer, however, I wonder why (pills that might convey a subset of the benefits of fasting) would be interesting in any way.
They have them now, long after Starling ate their lunch - my point was that they could've offered them before Starling and probably made a killing (it would've been the only option for a modern business bank account in the market back in those days).
One factor could be that industrial might quite likely correlates with crew performance. The job of a sailor is essentially to maintain and operate a large floating industrial complex. Engineering skills are not always necessary, but experience working on a factory floor would directly translate to the psychological conditions and technical problems a sailor would encounter within a warship.

For an example of the opposite dynamic in action, look at the largely agrarian Russia's naval performance in the Russo-Japanese war, where the incompetence of the officers was almost matched by the incompetence of the sailors. If you've grown up working on a farm, you're unlikely to adjust smoothly to working in an engine room.
I couldn't handle that. At $WORK we encourage teams to unblock themselves. If that means you need to work on someone else's codebase off you go.

Territorial people don't last long here.

I can't remember the last time I was really blocked by an other team. It's incredibly rare. They either help or get out of the way.
Virtual journals is definitely on the table.

The way I'm thinking it would work is that journals can effectively create a team of reviewers on the platform and when you submit a paper, you could request review from their team.

Right now I'm thinking you could choose to request open review from everyone in your fields, review from one or more journals, or both at the same time. The journal editors then give their feedback through the review system, but it's still up to the author to choose to publish. If you successfully satisfy the journal, you get their stamp of approval on your paper when you publish. If not, you can still publish at will, but your risk their review team down voting you and you don't get the stamp of approval.

> I would personally trust "Person X who I know thinks this paper is good" much more than "100 people thought this paper was good, 40 thought it was bad, so +60".

I can definitely understand where that hesitation would come from - especially with experience in places like Reddit, where the crowd is not given guidelines and voting systems decay to the lowest common denominator.

My understanding of the research on the topic is that it actually supports the idea that the judgement of the crowd will often be better than the judgement of any individual -- when it's the right crowd, given the right guidelines. That's the model behind StackExchange and it's worked very well there. And that's the theory behind this (proposed) platform. The reputation and field model is geared towards identifying and creating groups of "the right people" for each topic/discipline/field and allowing people to submit their work to those groups.

It could create a similar virtual cycle:

* People want to support good science and get good review feedback, so they give good review feedback.
* People want to support and highlight good science, so they upvote good science, downvote dishonest science, and post responses with critical feedback on mediocre science.
* People want to have their work to be upvoted and receive positive responses, so they take review feedback seriously.

That's the theory anyway - the jury seems to be very much out on whether or not that can work with academia.

Did you stick to it? I admittedly would have conceded I was wrong in that situation.
You can calculate the total GDP and divide it by the total population. You cannot (as far as I know), assign an individualized share of GDP to each person, which when summed would equal the total GDP of the country, and then find the median of that distribution.
The development of the Avro Manchester (and then Lancaster) was a bit of a mess.

The first Manchester prototype flew just five weeks before WW2 started, and might have been rushed into production.

But there were major flaws with the reliability and power of the engines, and Avro were already working on the Lancaster to replace the Manchester before the first production models even entered service.

The Lancaster is simply a Manchester, with the two Rolls-Royce Vulture engines replaced by four Merlin engines.
He did. Two typhoons actually. He also fell for the Japanese faint at Leyte Gulf.

But he led the successful raids against the Japanese in February and March '42, and then launched Doolittle's planes in April.

But most importantly, he replaced Admiral Ghormley as the theater commander for Guadalcanal, and changed the fortunes of that most crucial campaign. A loss at Guadalcanal would have undone the victory at Midway. Conversely, the victory at Guadalcanal, in pretty much every historian's mind, spelled the end of the IJN's dominance in the Pacific.

For that, Halsey should get the tribute. But I personally also applaud Nimitz who visited Guadalcanal, assessed the situation and decided Ghormley had to go. And who also figured out that Halsey, who until then was just a raider, would be able to switch to an administrator and be an excellent one at that.

Let's have a look at low-power devices (for post-apocalyptic programming?) - is the Panasonic Toughbook CF-U1 MK2.6 from 2012 the perfect post-apocalyptic device when low power consumption trumps everything else? It has a 2W CPU and dual hot-swappable 7.2V 2900mAh batteries that last 9 hours (i.e. 4.62 Watts). The keyboard is somewhat terrible but the display is "daylight readable".

No, it looks as if the Acer Spin 7 5G SP714-61NA-S8Z7 with its Snapdragon 8cx Gen2 5G is even more efficient, its 56Wh battery has a claimed battery life of 29h (i.e. less than 2 Watts!).
For those unaware Bloxsom was/is what would today be described as a static site generator written in Perl. Like Jekyll et al it just takes plain text files and turns them into HTML in the same layout as the source files on disk.

It is very extensible and had plugins to handle things like bbCode and MediaWiki markup to embedding Amazon links from an ASIN. Before WordPress ate the blogging world it had some popularity, it didn't need a database or even CGI support.
