I also inherited (as developer and maintainer at the customer that actually inherited it) a product via source code escrow.

Source code escrow is a very good idea for a startup selling proprietary software.

Moreover, when I was promoted to Staff Engineer at a certain company, I had to go through training to drive home the point that if I spoke in public, about company business, I was considered a representative of the company and my statements could lead to legal action against the company because my position was considered a Management-level role.

Whether or not he faces any real consequences (unlikely), it will be interesting to see what impact it has on the corporation.

Last week's ER visit included a bunch of extra blood samples for a rheumatologist. It's hard to get one to see you without a recommendation. The doctor at the ER, this time, is the first to make that recommendation.
That's not how anyone reports on this; you don't deflate your revenues for changes in the value of money.
AllWinner did a run rumoured to be 5 million dies back in 2019 so there are plenty of the chips floating around (I'm doubtful there are very many of these boards - maybe 1000s?). The numbers are probaby dwarfed by the number of Broadcom chips shipped every month though :-/

The ecosystem as a whole is very undeveloped compared to Raspberry Pi, but that's what we're all working on. It'll take time!

I should add that I have another board which uses the same chip & it's slow as molasses, although probably similar to a similarly priced Arm chip running Linux. You get what you pay for, and you're not paying very much.
I’ll probably get banned for it but I believe transgenderism is a social contagion. It spreads among friend groups of young people quickly due to social pressures (it seems to me) and the number of people who subscribe to it are rapidly increasing. All this is possibly fine if it weren’t for the fact that it’s self destructive and encourages self mutilation.
The cap on the size of the House should be lifted, so that an approximately equal number of people are represented by each representative, no matter what state you live in. I don't see the problem in both California and Wyoming getting two senators, since that's (as you mention) precisely the point of the Senate.

It's very deliberately built in to the American political system that the will of the half-plus-one majority does not dictate the direction of the whole country. If anything, the ever-increasing Federalization of laws and policies is the real problem: Californians living like Californians is fine, and Wyomingites living like Wyomingites is also fine, but there is a problem when one tries to make the other live more like them.

Let's have fifty vibrant laboratories of democracy.

> how many presidential elections we can go where the "winner" receives fewer votes than the "loser" before people seriously question what the purpose of our democracy is.

I'm already questioning that myself, considering roughly half of all eligible voters don't even bother to show up for presidential elections -- let alone midterms, which is more like two thirds. If we consider that chunk that does not vote as being OK with the status quo, then I think we have a lot of room left before American democracy is really imperiled.

I don't know that I necessarily agree with this, I find that a lot of developers particularly younger millennials and generation Z put very little emotional investment in their jobs and treat it as a means to a financial end and nothing more, and honestly I think this is a healthy approach.

So that regard they would prefer more money and couldn't care less care about arbitrary internal recognition, it's a job nothing more, unless you're actually working in a genuinely meaningful field like advancing medical science for example.

Every time I've ever switched jobs (particularly anything revolving around e-commerce) or other meaningless drivel it's been about the money pure and simple.

Sorry if it comes out as harsh, but there's nearly 100% chance of this getting abused and then blacklisted by anti-abuse vendors, which will in turn render it 100% useless. That's the path all these disposable services took, including things like Private Relay, Firefox something, etc. Can't have nice things

I didn’t understand this, is “lowering a wire” an expression? did the airplane just literally throw a very long comms cable to the minesweeper? How did they “understand the plea” and knew where to go?
Like I mentioned we did that. You can get a small arithmetic multiple speed up. But moving these services to rust basically made our instance counts drop from 32 to 2.

Once the team has the know-how to write a service in Rust/Golang or even the modern pleasant to write Java, it becomes hard to justify why we'd pick Python for a new service at all.

Am I having a Mandela moment, or did Cook's "sometimes it's not about the damned money/profits" quote from a shareholders meeting get memory-holed? (Background: shareholder shows up at meeting, complains about environmental initiatives or summat. Cook unleashes quote. Damned if my search fu can find it.) EDIT: took another whack at it and found it:

https://macdailynews.com/2014/03/01/tim-cook-gets-angry-over...

"‘When I think about doing the right thing,’ he said, ‘I don’t think about an ROI… If that’s a hard line for you, then you should get [out] of the stock.'"

Mmmm, that's aging like a fine wine. But to give benefit of the doubt, I suppose gambling is a-okay for Mr. Cook. Myself, as an Apple shareholder for 20 years, eh, I'll occasionally darken the door of a casino, but I don't want to make money off gambling business.

But back to on-topic: yes, company actions can most certainly cheapen a brand. For instance, show enough gambling ads and IMO your "store" starts to look like there ought to be a payday loan place on one side, and a liquor store with bars on the windows on the other side.

Elon Musk visits Twitter headquarters ahead of deal close deadline
At about 30 I found out about ability to rent a sail boat and have a fantastic week-long vacation with friends for a price of a decent 4* hotel. It was true in case someone has a recreational sailing license instead of hiring a skipper. Then I decided to make a living from that, being that "skipper for hire" for other people. It was fun for a while, but routine quickly killed most of the joy. Also, money was far south from what I used to make. So I got back to IT and kept sailing as a hobby since. I don't regret a single moment of it, though.
I think you’re projecting and arguing in bad faith with this comment. Perhaps you should read the site guidelines.
Instead of Bluetooth defaulting to on, and re-enabling itself next day if you turn it off from the control center, I'd like for Bluetooth to default to off. You'd have to enable it from the control center, and it would disable itself after a certain period of inactivity.

I suppose that won't happen, as it would wreck the Find My network if it depends solely on Bluetooth.
That won't solve it. There are much much better paying jobs for any quantitatively minded individual than teaching. Many pay 2 to 5x what teaching does and you don't have to deal with bs. So math based subjects are left to those who aren't good at it or are otherwise rich enough and are only teaching out of passion.
There were some stubborn bad decisions that Steve Jobs stuck to (1 button mouse, windows that don't appear when you cmd-tab to them), but his Apple seemed to have better software. Since him, it really seems to have gone downhill in terms of bugs and UI consistency.

It's another way in which the article doesn't cohere, because it seems clear that Lepore sees amendments as in part a way to settle national controversies (like birthright citizenship or the right to bear arms). But an amendable Constitution doesn't settle anything, as you point out.

What it really does is sap political power from the Supreme Court, which is a reasonable goal for someone like Lepore to have right now.
I have no idea what she works on ... but surely at least some of Meta's product staff _ought_ to be regularly using TikTok both as consumers and creators, right? How could they attempt to compete without making an effort to understand why TikTok has been eating their lunch?
Clearly Republicans have benefited greatly from the electoral college lately. Whether that is good or bad depends on your political leaning. As a centrist I appreciate that the USA <> California. I don’t know that it is possible to judge this issue in an unbiased way.
The best "trick" is to vote. Either with your actual vote if you're eligible, or with your wallet, by moving out of a failed state and thus no longer paying taxes towards it.
I just upgraded to a Ryzen 9 7950x with a Gigabyte x670e motherboard and while using qflash+ I also got curious but nothing online answers how it works and the manual is too simplistic to include the details. If I would have to guess It’s probably the chipset?
> "there are only a few places where its cost effective to implement"

This is repeated often, but is wholly false, each time.

Often it comes with a claim that an existing, elevated watershed is needed, which is false. A watershed is needed only for regular hydro generation. Most places suitable for that already have dams, many of which can be used for pumped hydro storage. Many are. But that is just a matter of convenience. The claim is often made hoping to confuse readers.

Some claim an existing elevated lake is needed, which is false. An earthen dike at a hilltop suffices. Such a dike may be needed only at one end of the reservoir.

Some insist an expensive concrete dam is needed to provide enough "head" to store much energy. They either have not heard of a penstock, or pretend. An earthen dike suffices. "Head" is the height of the hill, not the depth of water behind the dike.

Some insist a copious water supply is needed, which is false. Water may be stored at the bottom and pumped back up, with only evaporative losses. Such loss may be reduced by floating solar PV on the reservoir. Some places can use sea water.

Some insist a mountain is required, where in fact a hill suffices. The greater the altitude, the more energy each ton of water stores, but a few hundred meters height is plenty. In places with underground cavities, even the hill is optional. Using an underground cavity for the lower reservoir can radically increase the head available, vs. just a hill.

Few places are very far from any hill, or cannot afford evaporative loss from a reservoir. Such places will use other storage.
Absolutely! The constitution by its nature should dictate things that the overwhelming majority of people agree on, not the usual fifty percent plus one person slim margin that a lot of controversial policies end up being.
Typically those trees cause the wind to be turbulent, like the dirty air coming off the back of a race car. Normally a wind turbine wants to be mounted high up in the air where the wind is all moving in one direction fairly uniformly. It's unlikely that this technology will naturally overcome that.
That appears to be a false equivalency, Yao Ming doesn't "value" being tall, he is tall. Parents who don't value education may be crappy parents, or they may be hard-eyed realists who think nothing will better the lot of their children. But it's in the interest of a society to not have large numbers of uneducated and angry young people causing havoc.

If you're trying to validate new software on known good hardware, then your goal at any scale is to insert a suite of embedded software acceptance tests into your development pipeline usually somewhere between build and release. CI infra is ideal for this, my counterparts all use Jenkins.

Robotframework is a great tool for expressing tests. For simple setups, Jenkins has an RF plugin to kick off tests.

The tricky part is managing many test resources. One jenkins server triggering robot tests on one bench PC with one embedded target is a great way to develop an initial test suite. But once your org gives assigns you more hardware, the tricky part is figuring out how to use it maximally (either optimizing for fastest time to completion or for least time idle of your dedicated test hardware.) This means the tests themselves can no longer "drive" the test resources directly, they need to lease them from a resource manager service.

Larger companies with nearly homogeneous hardware may get by with a basic priority queue. But some test setups with an L1 or L2 switch between them may support a DSL to allow tests to request resources that are physically or logically connected, and may need abstraction layers for common tasks such as "physically disconnect power" which the Resource Manager could implement as a SNMP command to a PDU or as a SCPI command to a DC supply -- the test itself should be declaring what has to happen, not how.

I've scoured the internet and plied counterparts in other industries for any example of commercially available prior art. Everyone I've talked to wrote their own. It took a week to produce something acceptable for my use case. But if the RF devs were to maintain a similar solution, I'd switch to that in a heartbeat.

There's wider adopted 16:9 aka 1.78 aspect target and then there's everything from 1.85 to 2.39 and ridiculousness like 2.44. Most common three today being 1.78 (aka 16:9), 1.85 and 2.39 (2.35 instead sometimes). 1.85 to 1.78 is usually a fit frame type of crop and call it a day, but 2.39 to 1.78 for home/TV release is same story all over again - do you do the letterbox or are we gonna play re-frame this shot game?
