No problem.

FYI I don't have anything against something "not useful".

It's just that storage space on a phone is scarce for a lot of people because everyone wants you to install the app instead of going through their website for their services. Individual apps may not consume much storage and computing power, but in sum, it's a concern for people with mid-tier Android phones. And then, people start to filter by usefulness, if they don't see why your app is fun or engaging.

So think about maybe explaining / having someone explain why it would be fun to use your app!

I wish you success.
You can just use default K8 without any added service. It works well enough. There is no obligation to use GC for K8. There are a lot of good base K8 providers.
Oh that is a really good explanation, thanks! I've always wondered why we do this.
> They were "investigating" the issue and assured the project will not be suspended.

In my experience, and from everything I have read of others, Google's customer support is mostly a facade - Google will have given them a few buttons to press but they have absolutely no autonomy or authority, they are disconnected from Google and when things go wrong they cannot help you no matter how much they promise.
pink instead of orange /s?
yes, because it's implemented 100% in software, no dedicated computing/networking hardware (resistors don't count)
I cant believe anyone with basic physics knowledge can be serious about this.

Combustion engines haven't changed that much in the last 50 years, and most brands use similar designs. Rolls-Royce and Bentley have been using the same engine design for ages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce–Bentley_L-series_V...). Differentiation is not on one part.
But representing the DOM etc inside a 3D space is useful so you don't loose access to the world of 2D information. However there are no good solutions to this at present the Immersive Web Workgroup in W3C are looking at Layers or DOM Overlay which is for AR modes but might support 2D navigation but it seems low down on the priority list due to CORS and other security challenges.

> Pinker are quite clear: there are HUGE problems to be solved

That's... not the impression I get from reading Pinker. On the contrary, he has an infuriating habit of presenting "x is getting better" shortly after bashing a straw man version of the groups working hardest to make x better. Everyone from civil rights activists to software developers who worked on on the Millennium Bug were, in Pinker's eyes, committing the cardinal sin of Availability Bias rather than focusing on all those nice comforting trend lines pointing in the right direction.

> I have successfully contributed thousands of patches to many large projects. I don't need help.

Linus Torvalds successfully contributed far more, and for decades swore up and down that he didn't need any help with communicating (after all, what's so hard about it? You say what you mean and mean what you say! Child's play!). And yet even he eventually realized his need to learn.

At the end of the day, community and morale is far more important, because it improves velocity overall and fosters new blood. I know it's hard to see, because I've been there myself, scratching my head at why those "idiots" wouldn't just see reason and do things efficiently like me. Focusing on the code and not the people and their "silly" politics. I took far too long to realize that I was the problem.
I don’t see why I would want to consider using this library over pdf.js. Can someone explain what the benefits would be?
"Micro-controller" is a very wide term. Today it is applied to many things that would have been a good desktop computer only 20 years ago. As you surmise it is not at all impressive that they can talk on the network (may have hardware that fully supports current generation wired and wireless networking)
The Pi Pico is quite a simple micro controller, similar to the 1980s hardware that would have actually used 10BASE-T. The impressive bit is it fully software except 3 resistors; rather then having dedicated hardware.

Let me get this straight. This company does everything they were supposed to, paid on time, and Google's own error cuts them off, and you are blaming them?!?
During lockdown I wanted to start taking pictures in film again. After going through 2 disposable cameras I wanted something a bit more permanent. So I went to Amazon and searched for the cheapest film camera I could find. That was the AgfaPhoto Analoge 35mm, which costed £30.

I've had so much fun with this camera! The plastic lens produces a noticeable vignette, along with a chromatic aberration on the edges. This means that this camera will never produce high-quality results, but that's absolutely fine! People also react in a different way when I present the camera for taking a picture.

Some examples here: https://imgur.com/a/AyyZNDB

Of course it's more expensive than digital photography. Each film roll costs around £6-8, and it's costing around £17-20 to develop each one. The cool thing about film these days is that labs will scan the negatives, so you still get digital images ready to print.
How to create portable Linux binaries (2017)
I have an Xcover 4S, not the pro. Though I don't use it anymore. We also have a ton of those at work. The Xcover 5 (also non-pro) too.

It's an ok phone for the 120 euro I paid for that, I bought mine second hand for hiking. They get really long support from Samsung because they view them as an enterprise product (whether it's the enterprise edition labeled one or not!)

However, they are SLOW. The screens are kinda crap LCDs, even in direct sunlight a good OLED screen is much better. I don't know why Samsung sticks with LCDs on these. If they'd have used transflective LCD like most outdoor GPS devices I could see the point for outdoor readability but they don't, they're just cheap crap LCDs worse than what they put in their $200 budget series. OLED is better than they crap they put in these phones in every way. In the past Samsung mentioned they did this because OLED screens cracked more easily, however this cannot be a thing anymore since most OLEDs now use flexible plastic substrate, even in non-foldable phones.

The XCover Pro 6 uses the 778G chip though which is the same as I have in my Galaxy A52s and it's ok. Be aware, Samsung usually pairs this chip with very slow UFS2 flash (Snapdragon 8 models come with UFS3.1) so installing apps is tedious. But during normal use it's ok.

It's kinda cool that this phone has DeX but with only 6GB RAM and a midrange processor with slow flash I wouldn't expect too much of it.

They make you pay an extra feature license to use the side "push to talk" button with apps like MS Teams by the way so be aware of that. I'm a HAM operator so I'd like to use that but it's less interesting this way. It also stops people from building the PTT functionality in apps because nobody has the license anyway.

But I haven't seen the new Pro 6 yet no. It looks ok but yeah the prices are HIGH. And battery availability is tough, I've had a hard time finding an official battery for my 4S. Samsung doesn't sell them directly and a lot of the batteries on Amazon are fakes. Meaning the NFC stops working as this is part of the battery (Samsung WHY???), and you have questionable safety. This kind of undermines the idea of a replaceable battery, if you can't buy genuine batteries easily. Sure, it's a bit old by now, but this is exactly the time when you'd need a new battery.

But really, for 300 euro you can get a Galaxy A52s which is roughly the same phone in terms of specs. Exact same processor and ram. No replaceable battery but half the price, with a much better OLED screen with in-screen fingerprint. Put a tough case on it (I use the Spigen Tough Armor on mine, 15,99 euro on Amazon) and a good screen protector and it's just as indestructible as the XCover Pro IMO. And even if you break it and have to buy a totally new one you still spent only the same as an XCover Pro 6. The A52s still even has a 3,5mm jack like the XP6. The A53 doesn't and it has a slower exynos CPU so I'd recommend the A52s instead.

Also, don't overestimate the ruggedness of these devices. They're 'business rugged' at best. Even with the XCover 4S I used a Tough Armor case on top of it.
Yeah, I dont understand this "You are not an expert" bullshit.

Millions of years of what? We have maybe a few hundred years of helium if we’re generous with our assumptions and we’re literally squirting that into balloons and letting it float away into the atmosphere and off into space. It’s literally an unrecoverable loss.

This is just one of the many resource limits we’re facing as a species, and this is how we address it today.
All - absolutely all - the evidence we have seems to show that Google was completely wrong - that a payment didn't go off because of a known Google outage, that the company then made a manual payment, but started to receive threatening messages, that they appealed to billing who told them they were safe, but then the site was cut off in the middle of the night on the weekend.

Your argument appears to be this: "Facts are unimportant: the customer is almost certainly wrong in every case."
Yes, and they did help when the reflux was worse. But I only needed them for a while and then stopped taking them completely.

I still keep a Tums by my bed at night but very rarely use it. I also keep a bottle of water, and usually that's sufficient to ease any irritation.

Another thing I remembered after writing the original - is that I reduced alcohol consumption to basically zero. I would drink a beer once in a a few weeks before that, but now - zero.
>I would bet Brave has the same if not MOVE "momentum" as Firefox.

Five years after Firefox officially released, it was used by a third of the internet. People had a religious fervour around Firefox, Microsoft was the great satan for unleashing IE6 upon the planet, it was a great evil for sites to not support Firefox or god forbid actively block Firefox user agents.

For about two straight years Firefox after release absolutely slaughtered IE in almost every way (extensions, tabs, customization, performance, web standards), it was still clearly the best browser for the next two years, and Chrome had to create a bleeding-edge world-class browser and promote it with a gigantic large scale global ad campaign before Firefox started to falter.

By contrast, brave was released 6 years ago I've never seen a non-tech person use Brave in my life. It's biggest technical advantage seems to be a souped up adblocker. It really doesn't compare to Firefox's momentum.
Unfortunately, the worst days of the cold war were appreciably less likely than we are now to immolate all of mankind. In 1963, the two nations capable of global annihilation were run by “company men” who acted with caution and tons of input from myriad experts who knew the real cost of global war all too well. Those bureaucrats understood that their rash act would end their “life at the top” in a heartbeat, even if they survived nuclear armageddon. But today's strongmen/ dictators who control nuclear weapons have shown far less cluefulness or concern than their forebears for the very plausible dangers of committing a single stupid blunder that could end life on Earth. Hard to be upbeat given that, regardless of appeals to rational technical optimism.
I guess more important is that firebase transmits the current state of the database every reconnection
I've noticed similar but it's intellectually dishonest to say that "is AI's goal". It's honestly no one's goal. Humans at Large are just taking the path of least resistance and whether that's good or bad doesn't necessarily matter from a moral standpoint.

You could use the example of when the pandemic started and how literally everyone did the same things on the same timetable. It was like hey you're all into making bread right so everyone's making bread now and now everyone's bread people for some reason.

I would more rather blame working and lack of personal time. I think it's employment and overworking that is leading people to not know themselves not have any downtime to meditate on themselves and if they are doing these things they are doing it for image reasons rather than actually wanting to perform any sort of self-discovery. It's rare that anyone actually knows what kind of hobby they want to be into or what kind of thing that they want to do to fill time other than scroll this device in their hand.
I've found using ordinary qemu to be more convenient than those wrappers. It's faster to read man than to find what I need in those GUIs.

My main TV is a Plasma 42” from Panasonic, I bought cheap when Plasmas where being discontinued many years ago and it’s still going strong and despite only being 720p, looks fantastic, much better than a lot of other TV’s that I see which are 4K.

I hate how complex TV’s have become, I love this because it’s simple, looks great and makes it easy to watch content, for years I just copied what I wanted to USB and watched, but now I added a google chrome with Google TV and Plex.
It's probably worth applying some scepticism to this study:

1. It's an economics paper. Not a field with a reputation for accurate predictions beyond the basics.

2. It's commissioned by a charity that wanted academic evidence of the benefits of its own policies, so it's as conflicted as can be.

3. It's research by academics who are as a group notoriously left wing, so they're being asked to do research to support their own ideological preconceptions.

That doesn't mean the conclusions are wrong, but it does mean they shouldn't be accepted at face value, and you'd have to review it very thoroughly - ideally with external double checks of validity - to be able to conclude anything from it.

Doing even a very fast check of the paper immediately reveals a major problem: the headline claim of 0.1% price inflation excludes the price of labour, which inflated significantly. This pretty much explains the entire effect. Not surprisingly, if you start handing out cash at random in poor communities then the people who aren't lucky enough to get it start demanding some of that cash too. But you don't need research to know this. It's economics 101, that's what's happening right now in western economies (big cash transfers from governments -> inflation).

We may suspect the paper is being undermined by ideology and funder bias because its early statements on inflation try hard to hide this fact. At the start, it's saying:

"Importantly, we document ... minimal price inflation"

(abstract). Then it becomes:

"For inputs, we find positive point estimates [of inflation], but they are not always statistically significant. For outputs, we document statistically significant, but economically minimal, local price inflation."

(page 4). Unless read very cynically this sounds like good news. But then we notice how obfuscated this statement is. "Positive [input] point increases but they are not always statistically significant", i.e. some are and the magnitude of the increase isn't mentioned. Later we find:

"we do see significant increases in the factors that we directly measure, and particularly in the wage bill: enterprises in treated (control) villages increase spending on labor by USD PPP 82 (70), a sizable change relative to the control mean"

(page 20). So we've gone straight from "minimal price inflation" to "significant increases ... a sizeable change". I've read so many academic papers in the last few years and whenever you see such large slippage between claims in the abstract and claims buried deep in the paper, it's always a bad sign. It's a leading indicator that there's going to be other kinds of problem, probably involving bogus stats/models/assumptions.

Moving on. We might have hoped that people would use the money for investment that could permanently increase their standards of living after the cash transfers end, but that doesn't happen:

"Strikingly, we do not see strong evidence of a firm investment response"

But this isn't something that needs research to know, it's the story of decades of massive and sustained foreign aid to Africa. Aid money gets spent on increased consumption but not sustainable investment.
Largest car manufacturer seems to flip between Toyota and VW, but while Toyota is certainly in the top 2, it’s also far less than ½ the market.
This "great resignation" thing is a fake story, a forced trend mainly created by the media after so many people were made redundant during the early days of the pandemic. What happened across the U.S. is that millions of people were paid more money in unemployment than they would have from working. Bartenders refrained from taking more hours because they could get partial unemployment. Not in every state, mind you, but most of them. So, when I say this is a fake narrative, I mean that it's written to convey it from an angle of volition and choice, when the primary factor in the "great resignation" is that it was governments, states, and cities that haphazardly shut things down and disrupted work. And I suspect stories like these are a way to retroactively shuffle off the blame, considering the general public has lost so much trust in traditional media.

In my judgment, the problem has been overstated.
At the very least, with the 'tea,' it could be easily resolved by contacting me directly via e-mail, as mentioned in my GitHub profile.

I never intended for this code to be used by anyone else (there is no even a README file).
But I'm delighted it helped someone attain their goals.

Anyway, I've stated that my code is MIT licensed.

Google, AWS are still charging people mid-2000s bandwidth prices. Its outrageous. Digitalocean's egress price is 1/10th of Google's cheaper egress pricing. Same with Hetzner. And with Hetzner dedicated servers? Its unmetered.
Quote: "Yet Hassett knows her stuff – and a lot of that stuff is very interesting indeed. Along the way, she debunks all sorts of received wisdoms. The idea, for instance, that women’s menstrual cycles fall into sync when they live in proximity. Hassett says that this ‘seemingly unkillable myth’ just ain’t so:..."

I'm sorry, but Hassett is wrong on this one. I've witnessed a dorm full of girls in my student years syncing their menstruation in like maximum 2 months after school was started. Multiple years was happening after they came from vacation. My girlfriends at the time were in sync with all other girls in same dorm.

I've witnessed later in life girls I shared apartments with having their menstruation synced just the same.

And fucking finally, my wife and daughter have their menstruation in sync nowadays.
Exactly. I was stunned at the "Tesla FSD beta testing on kids" part, not the other way around.
Yes, sort of, mostly because people were offered more money in unemployment than to stay at their jobs, which probably reduced the value of work itself in many's eyes.

If you want to communicate with standard Ethernet gear, that would be either 10Mbit/s exactly (10BASE-T standard) and 100Mbit/s exactly (100BASE-TX standard).

OP implemented 10BASE-T here. Next step up is 100BASE-TX, which nobody did in software/bit-bang as of yet, as far as I'm aware - part of the reason it's fairly large jump in complexity. Namely, you'd need 3 analog voltage levels, as well as pretty hairy digital scrambling/encoding, to output 100BASE-TX. RPi-pico might just be able to eek that out with few external resistors and enough elbow grease.

Other reason nobody bothered with bit-bang 100BASE-TX - virtually all switches will happily down-negotiage to 10BASE-T, which gives you ~1.2MB/s, and that's plenty fast enough for a microcontroller with mere kilobytes of RAM.
You're looking at a Raspberry Pi Pico which has been hooked up with a make-shift differential driver[1] using two GPIO's[2] where one outputs the inverse signal of the other.

The differential signal is connected directly to a RJ-45 jack, which is why the warning about not connecting Power over Ethernet[3] gear is written in bold as it would destroy the Pi.

Normally Ethernet is AC coupled[4] through transformers, though capacitors can be used[5], which protects the local device from any DC voltage on the transmission line. Power over Ethernet exploits this by explicitly feeding a DC voltage over the lines. That voltage is way above what the GPIO's on the Pico can tolerate, and would cause the Pico to relase the magic smoke[6].

Not having any AC coupling on the Pico works for short cables if the other side is properly AC coupled.

The scope plots shows the differential signal as driven by the Pico. Ethernet is Manchester encoded[7], a self-clocking signal without DC component, which makes it easy to AC couple. The fixed preamble used by Ethernet is so the receiver can recover the clock signal used by the sender in order to correctly read the incoming signal. Using a self-clocking encoding means the senders clock pulses doesn't have to be sent as a separate signal.

What you don't see is any way to receive data. As noted this is the bare bones needed to send data.
