> The funny thing about this comment is that SQLite is as close to the gold standard of software quality that we have in the open source world. SQLite is the only program that I've ever used that reliably gets better with every release and never regresses. Could it be that this is precisely because they don't use "modern tools" and accept outside contributions?

Reminds me of OpenBSD, who still primarily uses CVS for source control.

Don't expect an honest report from chess.com, think about how that conversation would go in the event he _was_ cheating and they caught him:

Public: "So he's been cheating recently?"

Chess.com: "Oh yeah, he cheats all the time. Everyone does, really. Online chess is like 50% cheaters/bots, don't expect any real humans here, this is like 10x worse than Twitter."

The pictures are beautiful, thank you for sharing that.
Real-time linux can be thought of taking vanilla linux - configuring the kernel in a certain way, booting your kernel with certain boot params and writing your real-time application in a certain way.

While there quite a few hiccups along the way - you will be able to bring down jitter or OS noise to around 1 us. Of course a microkernel based OS like QNX can take you down to around 1 ns - but then the point of using Linux is that you are able to utilize the ecosystem around it.

Look into isolation, real-time patch and high performance computing.
I wonder how often the ancient chinese wash their hair. In the article he mentioned he only washes his hair once a year to avoid losing even more hair.
I learned chess late and enjoy playing it, through mistakes, at a different pace... so, in spite of the numerous headlines, I don't get it. Competitively, cheating should be meaningless - and/else what kind of society has people playing chess for food? Perhaps I should read the article. current mood, tipsy

I think you're wrong. If the manufacturer requires ID to purchase then they absolutely can stop scalpers as it would be too expensive for the scalper to hire people to buy their limited number (say 3) of items per month/per year. Capitalism can be beaten into submission if you're willing to take the proper actions, if they're interested in the Pi's going to hobbyists and schools rather than to scalpers who buy hundreds of them and then resale them at 10x the price on eBay or other auction sites. I know libertarians don't like to hear that not everything is about money, but sometimes it is if the source truly wants to see the pi units get to the right people.
Here's an HW case about why knowing about Hydrogen will help in life.

Question: Why does Space X use kerosene and liquid oxygen rather than liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen a better power to weight fuel.

Simply because of the size of the molecule. The Hydrogen molecule is such a small molecule that it's difficult an expensive to use vs kerosene. It's very easy for it to leak. As we have seen in the Artemis 1 rocket that uses hydrogen.

There's my use case. I've used it at least once.

But if there was a famous guy called Congu who was so famous people had named territories elsewhere after him and he had his own clothing label to boot -- ensuring that his name was foremost in the popular psyche -- then it wouldn't change the fact that if one called 'Congo' 'Congu', one would have made a simple spelling error.

If I was a resident of Congo, I would appreciate it when people corrected this error. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> It _can_ give devices access to the internet

My, maybe not-so-naive, assumption is that manufacturers will require an internet connection for some/all functionality because they can.
No idea what you're talking about here. Solar charge controllers are quite mature and do exactly what is needed. You're literally putting a few wires on the right terminals, and a few connectors.

Only the low-battery signal would require a bit of work, but that is option and isn't found on ANY devices available off-the-shelf so it's not possible to buy your way around that.
You could say the same of plenty of other nuisances, but that's death by a thousand cuts.

It's not just about the ads but resisting the deeper cancer of consumerism.

If you are worried about time being wasted, then don't interfere and carry on with what you consider important.
It might be possible to use copper mesh to shield an exterior camera, with a low-power wifi AP mounted on the opposite site of the same wall, shielded with copper mesh and connected to ethernet. Camera-AP wifi communication would go through the wall.
The assumption is that because DFS is intended for military use operating a jammer (not deauthing) on it would be more severely illegal than doing so on purely civilian frequencies.

I have no idea if this is actually true or not.
Besides what other people said, if a device is always on, dumping data directly to the Feds then it will be hot and its battery life will be very short.

Look at Rockstar's Red Dead 2. Cost about $540 million to produce. Split almost down the middle for advertising and development costs. For every dollar spent on dev, a dollar was spent on advertising.

It's now one of the most successful games ever made. The advertising did nothing to hurt innovation, and in fact proved Rockstar's hypothesis that the market is ready for this kind of innovation, but needs to be sold on the idea.
I have a lot of Zigbee devices, and I've never experienced a pairing issue like this. I use Zigbee2MQTT with Home Assistant, with a electrolama ZZH USB stick - https://electrolama.com/projects/zig-a-zig-ah/

During my first attempt at home automation, I used to mess around with flashing custom firmware onto WiFi devices (Tasmota, ESPHome.) It was a huge pain whenever the hacking process stopped working (tuya-convert), and I had to open up the device, solder some wires, and flash the chip via USB serial.

Nowadays I can just buy any Zigbee product I want (usually from AliExpress), and get it set up in zigbee2mqtt without any extra steps. And it's all local within my home, and no hubs or cloud services required.

I think Zigbee is better for me because I have a lot of battery-powered devices, such as sensors for motion, door contacts, and temperature/humidity. I'm really impressed that the button batteries usually last for 1-2 years.
I got this from a dishonest liberal rag known as Reuters, not Snopes.

The Trump administration indeed eliminated the Global Health Security and Biodefense unit, known as the “pandemic response” team. Some of its members were reassigned to roles that included pandemic response, but the change had only one single honest purpose, which was to placate Trump's obsession with undoing whatever President Obama's administration set up. There was no other purpose than that, and the government lost some experts in so doing. It was a pretty stupid thing to do, though the Trump Administration later claimed they were "streamlining," to cover up for what can only be described as tribal boneheadedness.
Anecdotally, Bill Gates once said that anyone who have read all of TAOCP could be hired by Microsoft on the spot.

Their point is about false rationing for people that aren't of fighting age. The FDA isn't recommending that, they are recommending giving particular attention to children because they are especially vulnerable!

Like why even believe that nuclear weapons are real or that potassium iodide is protective if you think that things are so far out of wack? The government is largely responsible for that knowledge.
Ultimately, the long term harm I was thinking of (for the most part) was lots of proprietary knowledge being lost as a developer is lost for one reason or another, and a resulting loss in quality and/or momentum in the project as that developer may represent a large percentage of project development capacity.

That a large chunk of this knowledge appears to have been offloaded into a test suite is good, and does a lot to combat this, but obviously nothing is quite as good as experience and skill and knowledge about the specifics of the code in question.

As a theoretical situation, how much more likely is a fork to eventually succeed if one or more of the code SQLite developers is no longer available to contribute to SQLite? There are a lot of variables that go into that, but I would feel comfortable saying "more likely than if those developers were still present". That idea encapsulates some of the harm I was thinking of.
The writing is on the wall.

That makes lots of sense for quick real time games. But getting back to my point about how integral computer engines are in chess for training/preparation ... a script to enhance reaction times seems much more like doping in sports where it probably doesn't improve the player's intrinsic abilities only their performance.
I like TAoCP's typography better in a subjective aesthetic sense. But when I'm actually trying to read, understand, and work-from workbooks/exercises, I find the Linear Algebra example a lot better.

That would only be true if people are charging huge batteries that sustain their full home energy usage. If they're only charging small batteries to sustain the most important devices in their homes, the usage will still be much lower.

Additionally, peak/off-peak is a thing. The grid may have excess power from wind and solar when conditions are idea. Charging your batteries during those times will not have any negative effects.
Sure. I’m not a big fan of protests, in particular ones that intrude and disrupt me trying to simply go about my life. Petitions are just variations on sales pitches, like religious proselytizing, which I also would not consent to if I had the choice.

The question is one of incentives and motivations.

Am I playing chess because I love chess? To have fun? In that case, cheating is counter to my goals (unless I enjoy the act of cheating itelf, but that's getting besides the point).

On the other hand, is chess simply a means to an end? Am I playing chess because I want to win something? If so, cheating is but one of many possible decisions I can undertake to increase my odds of winning.

Where professional games are concerned, where money and fame are at stake if you lose, cheating is downright inevitable and certainly not something to be surprised about.
Holy crap, "Gage claims that Tipping wound up with three broken ribs, a lacerated liver, head injuries, and a broken neck." Ohhh, they were bicycle training.

Sarcasm aside, it's insane that after this incident, it's being labeled as a "training accident" when it so obviously wasn't.
Aqara Zigbee devices are renowned for having a longer keepalive check-in period than many routers expect. So when they don’t check in on time, the router marks it as dead. Often, a quick tap of the setup button to re-announce it to its router will cause those routers to “unmark” it as dead—you don’t need to re-pair it. But it’s frustrating enough when it happens.

I have a handful of Aqara sensors that constantly dropped away, so I just flashed an XBee with router firmware and have it on a small USB battery that stays plugged in. That way power outages won’t cause issues with the “leave and rejoin” request that routers will issue to aged-out devices, which my Aqara devices seem to balk at.
It’s a moot point. If BTC is seized or forfeited to the US government, and the (co-)owner later transfers them out of the original wallet, it will likely only accomplish the addition of felony criminal charges. It is an assist to the federal prosecutors. Case in point, Gary Harmon, who probably wouldn’t be on trial otherwise.

This is a super on-point and sharp critique based on the assertion that Michael Jordan's first retirement from the NBA to go play Minor League baseball was an under-the-table suspension for gambling on NBA games (dude has a legit problem) while playing in the NBA Championships. This happened right after a three-peat (3 Championships in a row).

And in one fell marketing miracle, the status quo and marketability of both the NBA and Michael Jordan was protected. One and a half years later, MJ "un-retired" to light up the league for another 3 straight championships.
That's hardwired for power (from the doorbell transformer) not for networking, though at least it does store "up to an hour" of video offline locally. I have a cheap but totally unreliable Wyze doorbell, which also is wired in for power, but has no local storage (unlike the Wyze cams, which record to sdhc along with the cloud).

How is having that knowledge any different to if you knew the mathematics involved in the building and launching of the rocket?

Knowing that didn't help you at all. If you didn't know about Hydrogen that rocket still would have launched. It's purely for your own interest.

Unless you're a SpaceX engineer of course but then the other 99.9% of the people on the planet don't "need" to know about the size of Hydrogen and we are back to the same argument.

Agreed on all fronts.

I've gotten the vague impression over the years that the chess establishment isn't the most fair and non-corrupt organisation (par for the course perhaps for sports organisations). It also seems to be relatively behind or new to massive cheating scandals (??). Put together an event like this was almost certainly going to be ugly and unimpressive.
Not convinced AWS is too complex at this point. They are huge and can support a lot of options. It lets clients onboard with one or more options familiar to them. Even if there is some overlap between some offerings.
I think the connection between the Big Lie of Nazism and the Big Lie of our former president is pretty clear: it’s a well-understood historical term, with relevant parallels.

I find it difficult to believe that American journalists, an otherwise well-read and historically informed community of people, would conjure the concept without intending it as a reference. And certainly in that fashion more than as a prosaic form of “this lie was extra big.”

Edit: For example, here is an NPR article that explicitly makes the connection between the two Big Lies[1].

During the 08 financial crisis, Mitsubishi wrote a $9 billion CHECK to close an investment in Morgan Stanley over a holiday weekend. The concern was that MS's stock would nosedive if the deal wasn't done before the market opened. The check was apparently enough to legally close the deal on a weekend when it wasn't possible to wire funds.

There's even a picture of the check on MS's Twitter: https://twitter.com/morganstanley/status/1315673245291614208...
I'm confused about what you are suggesting. Standard university math would still be taught to people in professions that use it as part of their vocational education, and basic university math like group theory will be eventually taught to people in professions that don't use it. Wouldn't that be an advantage over the status quo?

So that story seems reasonable, but at the same time she is a winning player in these games. I know, two sessions has enormous variance, but still the kind of people doing that mistake should not be a winning player in their first two sessions.
The last few Eero mesh routers have also supported HomeKit. That’s what I use.
The problem isn't the power, it's the ethernet. Most homes are already wired for a doorbell with a single wire pair to the doorbell switch and then to the bell. So you'd have to pull an ethernet cable to the door.

I just installed an Amcrest doorbell which took me like 10 minutes. I'm using it with Scrypted to connect it to HomeKit. I didn't install it for security reasons. My old doorbell switch was broken and I figured as long as I needed to replace it, it would be nice to see what the heck my dog is constantly barking about.

If I wanted something for security reasons, I'd indeed use a PoE camera, but it wouldn't be a doorbell cam. There's very few PoE doorbell cameras in any case and they are quite a bit more expensive. And pulling an ethernet cable to the doorbell switch location would be non-trivial.
I got hired by one company advertising on who's hiring, been there for 6 months now. Very happy! They told me that the threads are gold mines for good candidates, because 99% of the people who apply on LinkedIn or through their websites are really bad.
but SQLite IS using modern tools, you could say their VCS is more modern then git. It is just not compatible with a lot of git work flows due to being focused on workflow not working well with git.

It is also following modern best practice like:

- use the best tool for the job (i.e. not git or GitHub)

- consider upfront how the project can long term be maintained (i.e. realize that you don't have resources to manage/moderate an public issue tracker/PRs and that you don't want to delegate this work to 3rd parties you barely know)

- keep things simple, i.e. no global exclusive write lock and serialized isolation level (instead of subtle race condition and/or fork the work handling etc.)

- test a lot, use fuzzing etc.

- limit features to you targeted use-cases to keep complexity in check (maintainability, bug avoidance)

- opinionated code style, formatting

- clear cut well defined dev/contribution flow (for the few which can contribute directly)

I.e. if we ignore superficial modern best practices like "use exactly this tool" I don't know which modern best practice it does not fulfill(). Through some are not fulfilled in the way people are used to.

(): Ok, maybe they don't keep to: Prefer languages with more guard rails as far as possible. Through due to their targeted compatibility/portability C is kinda the only option.
Just ban this clown outright.

If somebody has a prodigious history of not playing by the rules, there is no reason to think they'll ever reform, and it isn't worth the reputational damage to the game both within (Magnus) and without (the public's perception of high-end chess). This has been a fiasco when they should have just banned Neiman once it became clear that he's been consistently cheating for years.
The FBI has a bitcoin wallet, and they routinely used to store seized BTC there. I'm not sure what they are doing now, I don't really pay attention, but last I looked that address was basically empty.
