He developed it in the 1980's to do an astro-photography on the cheap (cheaper than equatorial mounts). Used a Commodore 64 at the time to run the numbers — presumably find out the tangent error deltas for various relative arm lengths.

I suspect a simple spreadsheet today could be constructed to give the same results. Maybe even a clever graph of error over degree.

There are basically easy bank transfers in the U.K. which are almost always very fast but they aren’t used for most payments. You’d use them to transfer between friends/family and paying for something like rent (with a standing order) or moving money between accounts.

While the payments industry (ie Mastercard/Visa) is a big one, they do actually provide a service. The cards allow people to buy things on credit (so stores can let people buy things on credit without needing their own collections departments or taking on default risk) and they provide various consumer protection mechanisms (which consumers want even if they won’t care about buying things on credit and paying back the loan over a long time).

It also isn’t obvious to me that this market won’t see disruption. There are a lot of BNPL firms trying to get in on it, for example.
You have wasted time and mental energy you could have used on more productive things. Listening to bad ideas is exhausting.

I've known a few well adjusted individuals who finished their education early.

You would tend not to notice except in conversation when you add things up and realise they are unusually accomplished.

Personally I think it's weird making people learn in lock step by age rather than allowing them to progress at their natural rate.

There are a few different underlying assumptions there when you think about it, eg that a) people of the same age have equal "maturity" b) socialising with people older than you is harmful (or less beneficial) compared to socialising with people the same age as you c) socialisation mainly happens in an institutional context d) the purpose of higher education is socialisation as much as learning.

Any or several of those ^ can be false for a particular student. Of course the institution and other students matter too in terms of outcome.

"Pushing" and validation chasing are bad tho, with you on that one.

I'm... not sure this is true. There are plenty of ways of designing non-trivial UIs on the web.

It's possible to write Tow-Boot to the eMMC to do exactly this. SPI isn't needed, it's just more convenient. I happen to prefer SPI and Pine64 was willing to go with SPI too.

I think this issue is blown out of proportion.

Pine64 listened to feedback. The problem here was that timeline's didn't match, not bad intention.
I can answer this for my use case. I often go for a run and leave my wallet/phone at home. I’ll play music off my watch to keep things light and minimal.

Sometimes I might take a break for a coffee with friends, and I have used this numerous times to checkout since my watch is on me rather than paying them back.

I’m also looking forward to losing the keys soon with NFC locks. I hate needing to carry around a bunch of accessories.

Same.

I was about to say there are so many projects like this maybe in the next decade or two the split community will grow and have more nice custom keyboards.

But who am I kidding, I'm all in on the kinesis advantage. A couple years ago I gave the Ergodox EZ a good solid try, but it just didn't jive with me, so I think I'm stuck (in a good place).
I used Borland Delphi (as well as C++ Builder for some period) throughout my university times for all kinds of home works and hobby apps. It was extremely easy to build simple but still good-looking UIs. At some point I even had a small reusable library for graph problems (add/edit nodes/edges with nice arrows/labels etc.) What I really liked was how fast you could get to real coding part with minimum boilerplate. Happy to see Lazarus IDE still having a strong community.
Any idea if Realtime might support Postgres streaming replication in the future? We were incredibly excited to use Realtime with TimescaleDB, but couldn't get it working.

I assumed it was related to https://docs.timescale.com/timescaledb/latest/how-to-guides/... (even though we were only running it single-node, my understanding is that Realtime works by tapping into the replication feed)
Some of those make me wonder, are there any 2d/3d engines that render normal 1x1 retro style pixels as randomly sized "pixels"? I wonder if that could become a surealist retro style.

> please, change this metric to transistor per square millimeter. Thanks!

I think there's problems with that metric too. Not all transistors are created equal. Depending on the switching speed that you want, how much leakage current you can tolerate, etc., I bet you can vastly change how many transistors you can fit in a given area.
Hm it should wrap around like a grid: I'll look into that!
Wonderful!

I disassembled an old 3D printer for the stepper motors and control board. But I would say it probably costs in the neighborhood of $300-$350 to build from scratch. I spent under $200 since I had a lot of parts already.

I've not tried cutting those technical fabrics! I would suspect it works fine. I am mostly making street clothing with it. I've cut some medium weight polyester with no problem, but haven't tried super light stuff. The laser power is adjustable so I suspect it will work fine.

Also I have a full config file for the 3d printer control board. If you get the thing built PLEASE ask me for that in a github issue as I do really need to add it to this repo.
That wouldn't work. Transistors density depends on what you're going to build. And there are other variations between processes.
I am extraordinarily-er humbler.
This is great. I was thinking about doing something like this recently; however, I was considering WebGPU. Did you give any consideration to WebGL vs WebGPU for this purpose?
Not just PayPal, too – other services that offer the ability to send invoices to arbitrary people.

The worst part about these scams is that the invoice email is legitimate, as in, it's actually coming from PayPal and it's not a "fake" email.

There is a privacy concern. And that might end up being a security concern depending on the threat model (e.g. social engineering attacks).
> Everyone gets it instantly.

I have to believe that there is constant, baseline fraud that everyone in these areas puts up with.

In the US, if someone steals my phone or credit card, or intercepts my payments in any way, I pretty much expect to get all my money back. When payments are instant, what's there to stop scammers and fraudsters disappearing with my money?
As someone with decades of full-size keyboard use and corresponding muscle memory, I moved recently to a 60% keyboard.

Initially I experienced some difficulty getting used to the lack of cursor keys, delete, escape. But with a short bit of time (couple months) I find I don't miss them anymore, and in fact appreciate the closer vicinity of these keys now.

However, the key thing is good layers, and buttons that can access them. The left half of my space bar gets to my main layer.

It's so good that I now find it annoying to move my hand to get to the cursor keys.

60% also means the mouse is a lot closer for me.

I don't get the appeal of low profile, and these days I think I'd want a split.
It may be more essential - especially given the need to have your drivers’ license with you in states that don’t yet support digital id’s) however you can go a whole day without touching your wallet.

> The trouble with TDD is that quite often we don't really know how our programs are going to work when we start writing them, and often make design choices iteratively as we start to realize how our software should behave.

This is a trouble I often see expressed about static types. And it’s an intuition I shared before embracing both. Thing is, embracing both helped me overcome the trouble in most cases.

- If I have a type interface, there I have the shape of the definition up front. It’s already beginning to help verify the approach that’ll form within that shape.

- Each time I write a failing test, there I have begun to define the expected behavior. Combined with types, this also helps verify that the interface is appropriate, as the article discusses, though not in terms of types. My point is that it’s also verifying the initial definition.

Combined, types and tests are (at least a substantial part of) the definition. Writing them up front is an act of defining the software up front.

I’m not saying this works for everyone or for every use case. I find it works well for me in the majority of cases, and that the exception tends to be when integrating with systems I don’t fully understand and which subset of their APIs are appropriate for my solution. Even so writing tests (and even sometimes types for those systems, though this is mostly a thing in gradually typed languages) often helps lead me to that clarity. Again, it helps me define up front.

All of this, for what it’s worth, is why I also find the semantics of BDD helpful: they’re explicit about tests being a spec.

The difference is back then, the vulnerabilities weren't even discovered yet. Today, metasploit scanners are running 24/7 scanning the entire IPv4 address space for thousands of vulnerabilities at a time - including automated chaining of exploits through e.g. routers with misconfigured UPnP. You don't need to be targeted. As mentioned above, you can be exploited with no user action merely by plugging in an ethernet cable.

But then again, I'm not your mom. If you really want to do this I can't stop you. Go ahead.
My dream is to do this with narrative elements, but it would take at least a lifetime to realize. (Double)pushout rules can be viewed as a Turing-complete system so the possibility/reward space is vast.

Yes, and that's why there are regulations in many (most?) municipalities regarding how long, how loud, and when. There is often an actual need for running a backhoe. I'm having trouble coming up with the use case for an EV making noise enough that hearing protection is required.
I got one of these emails a few weeks ago. It looked real and passed Gmail's filters but when I logged into my account separately there were no invoices. I had never gotten an invoice from PayPal before so it smelled fishy. Reported it to phishing@.
> It won't send all the keys to the server if you organize this way (which doesn't really matter anyway, since they are PUBLIC KEYS).

Having a public key doesn't teach an observer your private key, and so they can't impersonate you, but it does allow the observer to distinguish you from others. If you would like to prevent observers from correlating identity this way (most famously if you use a public key for GitHub and also other things) you will want to explicitly forbid your SSH client from offering to prove identities other than the one you know will be used.

The setting in OpenSSH (which you can enable for individual Hosts) is IdentitiesOnly yes

Your proposed configuration will choose to try the file named, but it will not tell the remote server that you don't have any other identities, for that you need IdentitiesOnly. The default is no, although I guess it's possible you have overridden that to "Yes" previously and then forgotten.

I'm frequently impressed with spammer ingenuity. We had a similar thing happen at a previous job. Users could sign up for a free trial for our software using a web form. The form had fields like "email address" and "name" so we could follow up with the user. Scammers would fill in a victim's email address and some scummy website in the "name" field, resulting in our servers sending the victim an email starting with something like, "Hello, Click Here For Free Money FreeMoney.com," followed by the rest of our marketing copy. Never would've thought to use the form that way...
To be fair, you have to refactor your code and tests when things change anyway, regardless of the order they were written.
... just because I'm bored:

The importance of this subject is underestimated and applies as well quite independently of whether humans eat the insects directly or not.

Consider the cuban tree frog for example, which has long since initiated its campaign in Florida to host and spread throughout the food chain the rat lungworm nematode. Rat lungworm (angiostrongylus) holds its own in the burgeoning presence of hideous and hostile parasites. It is highly infectious to many species and no picky eater, as it favors the entire body of the host, the brain and all.

Burmese pythons are another up and coming host in Florida, and while they might prefer a provincial life in the everglades, many other species will meander north and onward.

There are other nasties from nematodes to cestodes and more, gaining new ground. Baylisascaris procyonis is another terrible nematode found almost anywhere in the US, mostly in racoons, but in other species (humans included) with more varying and less frequency and it's often incurable.

A study showed that, if I remember correctly, 40 out of 250 wildlife rehabilitation personnel had been exposed, but symptoms varied by exposure load. Both rat lungworm and baylis ascaris are resistant to environmental elements that normally break things down, with baylis even surviving UV light, formaldehyde and extreme cold. Rat lungworm can be deposited on surfaces (eg vegetables), and snails are common vectors.

Lungworm is very difficult to remove by washing while baylis is so adhesive that wildlife control authorities advise disposing of rather than washing shovels or tools exposed to racoon latrines. The list goes merrily along with other nasties, but it would require time to refresh my memory and accurately describe more.

... the conclusion I got: don't move to Florida.
Depends on what "look great" means.

And I've seen Delphi apps; I recently worked on one. In my experience they don't look great. Maybe you've done a lot of work to theme the controls; if so, wonderful. But what I'm familiar with just brought up Windows dialogs, and ... well, that's functional but I wouldn't say it looks great.

But here are a few examples of ways you could create 150 fields in a day on a web app and have them look great:

Arrays of control types: https://formik.org/docs/examples/field-arrays for simplicity of creating the controls plus something like https://chakra-ui.com/docs/components/input to make them pretty.

Spreadsheet look (with spreadsheet functionality!) in one control: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-spreadsheet

Want to build the form by hand and customize it? https://www.form.io/

Form should follow a database schema and automatically display database records? https://marmelab.com/react-admin/ (I used this approach to bring up an admin panel for more than 150 fields, though spread over a couple dozen pages, because of course that looks better than trying to bring up 150 fields on one page.)

The standard way to create a large form (or any data table on a page) today is to iterate over the fields you want and add them to a page. There are frameworks like Chakra that can help you make everything look attractive--and you can theme the result in whatever color scheme or styles you like.

I really don't want to have to touch Delphi ever again; it felt like I'd fallen back into the 1990s in code development terms, and I missed all of the modern features I'd grown accustomed to. If it's what you like, and it pays the bills, then enjoy. But know that people who have used more recent tools like myself consider it to be anachronistic.

Except this is an article about how Tesla has bought 7000+ Nvidia A100 GPUs in their latest supercomputer, rather than their D1 Dojo custom chip.

EDIT: And ~7000 chips seems too small for a custom-run of chips. Any "supercomputer" Tesla builds has to be much much larger than this before a custom-chip project likely becomes cost-efficient.

Unless your form of remote work does not require reliable access to electricity or internet, it would be difficult to work remotely.
I just want to clarify that Zelle was basically a 2017 rebranding of clearXchange, which existed since way back in 2011. Both Zelle and clearXchange were mostly marketing failures. The basic use-case of nearly-instant person-to-person transfers has been constant and functional throughout its existence.

And you're 100% correct that uptake in the long tail of smaller banks and credit unions is probably one of the biggest "issues" with the service. If your bank isn't signed up, there's nothing you can do as an individual except move to a bank that is. Systems like CashApp and Venmo don't have that issue.
I feel like they are talking about the UPI (unified payment interface) that exists in India. It works way better than Zelle because you don’t need to use your bank’s app (you can if you want to, but most people use PayTM/Google Pay/PhonePe), and you can add multiple bank accounts in your preferred UPI client.

You just get a UPI ID that looks like whatever@yourapporbank. Then for online payments you can just enter that ID and approve/deny the transaction request in your UPI client. You could also just generate a QR code for that transaction and scan it with the UPI client

I see that a lot of people are unaware about UPI on HN, I might summarise my experience in a separate post and comparing it to Zelle
