> What is the point for a consumer to use a Raspberry PI 4 today?

does one stop being a consumer once the GPIO is touched?

Intel boards with a unified GPIO are pricey industrial units, and I don't consider pinning out a serial port or parallel port to be a very clean solution; and I consider an attached sister-board Arduino to be even less tidy.

Having a desktop with that type of IO is just handy for the things that I do as hobbies, just as my multimedia Intel-based laptop is handy for when I want to consume media.

the unit price is ridiculous for RPis right now though, i'll certainly agree to that.
I'm not the person you originally responded to, I was just clarifying what seemed to be the meaning.

But to say the generations are unremarkable isn't quite true -- the whole point is that previous generations are generally stagnant in growth, unlike the newest generation(s) that are still growing. This is a very valid factor in why investing in TikTok might be a smart idea while investing in Twitter is... not.
Bribery is a very strong word, but I think we can all agree that lobbying gives undue influence. Using money to increase one’s influence corrupts the representative in a representative democracy. I can certainly see why people would chose to call that bribery.
I’m not sure that that’s worse than before. Before GitHub, your fork would probably be just as hard or if not harder to discover. The same issues would exist with credibility, too.
At least on the ground, that's what I saw. Turbines work a lot like someone asking to use other types of rights on your property.

Unfortunately, iirc most of the windfarms are owned by a few people, but people are getting paid for wind instead of fracking. I don't think wind and oil are at competition in Texas though. Most oil drilled in Texas isn't destined for Texas, or the US really.
Letting it lose? No f way. That would be nuts.

Shutting down ALL internal Chinese travel from Wuhan, but letting international departures - that did happen, after all the more the merrier, let the world share our misery. Additionally let our stooge at WHO keep parroting how air travel is safe and essential!
Disagree. Life on Earth showed up about as soon as it could. That says the development of life isn't a likely limit. We see only one form of life because having a head start let it outcompete everything else.

We appear to be alone. That says something (or some combination of things) in the process of developing into a starfaring civilization must have billions-to-one odds against it. It's not planets--we see tons of planets. Earth-like ones don't show up much--but our detection techniques aren't very good at seeing Earth-like planets so we can't conclude much from that. The rapid appearance of life on Earth says that's not a likely barrier. Looking at history we have two candidates: the development of multi-cellular life and the development of intelligence. Both took billions of years on Earth. Note that humanity just squeaked in under the wire, about 99% of time Earth would be capable of evolving intelligence is already past. The sun has been slowly warming, this has driven more CO2 into limestone, offsetting the warming. This buffer has almost pegged, once it pegs solar warming turns into planetary warming and Earth is no longer suitable for species with long life cycles.

If we are lucky we are extreme outliers in how fast one or both of those steps happened and the barrier is behind us. (This shouldn't be discarded on improbability--observer effect. Only a planet where that happened could develop a species that could note the issue.) If not, the limit is in the future. Either we destroy ourselves or we somehow turn inward and ignore the stars. Unfortunately, probably says it's one of the latter.

It is possible for there to be a galactic empire and yet we exist--quarantine hypothesis. There's a galactic empire that strictly avoids any star systems with worlds where life can arise. However, such a galactic empire should be detectable anyway. A star wrapped in a dyson swarm will show a spectrum unlike anything we can see in the sky. From this we can conclude there are no dyson swarms in any part of the universe we can resolve stars. Earth shines in the radio spectrum. An ET pointing a radio telescope at us isn't going to be able to decode much of anything (any more than we could listen to a million voices at once) but they can see the energy.
I hope they build in jumping and do not change the combat system too much.
Singapore is a very desirable place. Clean, safe, some good provisions for public housing. I can think of a dozen places I’d leave to move to Singapore.
In my basic corporate training, we are told spending any more money than non trivial swag on people in the government is strictly prohibited because it can be considered bribery. So, I’m pretty sure the definition of bribery is very flexible.
> reserve the right to shutoff power back into the grid for their own reasons.

That's not unreasonable. They might shut off your PV panels as a safety measure to prevent backfeeding into the local lines when utility crews are working nearby. Or when there is a supply glut - it's faster/cheaper/causes less wear to turn off several thousand[0] residential PV panels than to shut down a major generating plant for a few hours.

[0] Or maybe only a few hundred if that's all that is needed to balance the system.
Yeah, we know, paraquat is 30 times more toxic than glyphosate, and have actual peer-reviewed studies with significant enough numbers to link it to an increase on Parkinson disease. I think there was a preliminary study on its effect on other neurodegenerative sickness, but i can't find it, so i guess it was scrapped.

Glyphosate at most could maybe increase by 30% the risks of a quite rare cancer for farmers who use it in high dosage (so glyphosate in conservation agriculture is likely to be harmless).

[edit] TFA talk about paraquat anyway :P
And they're allowed because contributing to a campaign is considered speech, I think? The US has the right to free bribing.

I’ve spent the better part of my pandemic commute-free time learning a long standing interest of mine, electronics. This is my first MCU board.
You're not supposed to mention that there is no free market / price discovery with fossil fuels :)
I'm sorry that happened to you - I was bullied early in life too, and it's horrible.

It's frustrating that people downvoted your comment. It's a failure, from a lack of empathy, to understand that the reason you want to make an example of the school district is because you were one of the victims of bullying.
Nit: After 1965, half-dollar coins were 40% silver for a few years.

And, not long after, the dollar was convertible to a fixed amount of gold, either. I forget the year for that change.
Scammers also create ads with fake support contact phone numbers for businesses. People call the scammers and they act like the company and run their scam.

Google also allows many deceptive AdSense ads, I constantly have to block ads that run on my website that are nothing but a big "Download Now" button which lead to some malware.
Just tested, you can still see this Ad if you search for gimp!
My friend’s mother told me advice that made her successful and has been a North Star for my career:
“Your ONLY job is finding your next job.”
I read about a very capable young woman who was advised,"You should never work for a boss." She then decided to become a lawyer and eventually became a highly regarded judge. Young people should at least be aware that they might not be suited for "normal jobs" in organizations even if they are academically successful.
Backing intermittent sources with dispatchable generation is a solution, but not the only solution (energy storage and deferring loads are some alternatives for example).

The cost of the fuel also doesn't account for costs they can externalize (ecosystem, healthcare) and the political issues it causes (Saudi Arabia gets by with more shit than they would otherwise, Russia is a big problem).
Interesting distinction, but once the object is replaced by scalars, those scalars are placed on the stack.

Do I understand it correctly that you are saying real stack allocation would involve allocating the whole object, including the header, on the stack, and passing references to such objects to (non-inlined) functions that worked on either stack allocated or heap allocated objects?
> Don't have a day job doing ONLY corporate work or ONLY FOSS work, do some of each. And don't expect a paycheck for the volunteer work.

Some FOSS projects will require people working on them full-time.

I think a better, long-term approach would be to make FOSS work sustainable.
It's already accounted for. Radiocarbon dating is calibrated to historical carbon-14 ratios measured from tree rings.

Thinking about it, we also say “injured or dead" (사상자) when it's about the number.
I don't think you know how circular logic, or proof by contradictions work.

If you could indeed derive 1=0 from H, then that would indeed by reason to dismiss H, but you can't just "consider" 1=0, you have to prove it from H.
I downloaded the demo and played thru. Everything is just a little too small for me to make out when I have the console in hand. The controls are decent, but obviously the interface was meant for a mouse. I think I'll probably get it thru Steam instead.
Have you tried pentesting/security?

A lot of the time it seems like it's about finding bugs, maybe not directly fixing them, but at least find what needs to be fixed
Agreed that riding the fence doesn't give a satisfactory result. In theory, GC is optional in Go, but I don't think anyone seriously running without a GC, or writing code that works well without a GC.
Business accomplishments are really complex and hard to attribute to one person. There's also a difference between "good at thing" and "genius".
It’s even more ambiguous when people say “200% faster”. What does 50% faster mean in a world where people can say 200% faster with impunity?
where is the list of these open source projects that get funded? i dont want to use any of them. of course no sane person would use node in the first place

for me OPNSense is installing the go implementation when installing via the plugin system.

Maybe there was a time it was using the old kmod port?
Exposure to leaded gasoline and diesel is way more likely to have caused this increase tbh.

In France, the increased allergies isn't as noticeable in rural area as in cities. If it was caused by chemical we use on plant, the reverse would be true.
They probably couldn’t confirm it was a stampede.
where can i read more on this? tbh it doesn't make intuitive sense, like we don't have glyphosate peanuts so why are peanut allergies all of a sudden a thing but not corn?
It's in the first sentence though, described as a crush.

There is probably a third way.
Herbicides aside, I worry a lot about the chemicals that we consider "normal". I signed up for a pest service after purchasing my home because we were getting ants and water bugs in the house. They have a package they they sell that includes a "full property" treatment, which I don't think I need. They list off a couple down "pests" that they kill, and go through a long script about how safe the chemicals are.

But like, how safe are they really? If they're spraying a cocktail that kills dozens of kinds of insects of all sizes, how does that have no effect on humans? Even at small doses it would seem that the effect would still be measurable. Surely whatever biological process that kills all those bugs also does something to people?

I don't let them apply chemicals inside the house, that's where I draw the line. And I'm probably not going to renew the extensive service. If nothing else, it's more chemicals around me that I can live without. But almost every one of my neighbors pays for something similar. How much are we inundating ourselves in this stuff? And what is it doing to the environment and ecosystem? This is one of those things that I feel like we'll look back on with deep regret in a few decades.

I, for one, am grateful that our technocratic overlords protected us from this information for so long. We can't be trusted with the truth, it could impact our spending habits.
The last commit was in June.
Dinner is bribery? I can see how it would be bribery if the cancer researcher made a campaign donation after dinner, or left a suitcase of cash under the table, or even paid for dinner, but simply having dinner is not bribery.

I agree that conflating these terms leads to less productive conversations.
From the perspective of a small business person complexity is a big deal. Amazon has amazing services with more than a hundred cloud products for tuning every aspect of a web site. But it is possible to get something going on Linode or Digital Ocean without all the fancy unnecessary options and a base price that is half to a third the cheapest AWS service level available. There is a big and long tail that goes small and AWS is increasingly too high altitude for small scale applications.
Not just USGS. Actually ShakeAlert program partners are: USGS, CalOES, Cal Geological Survey, CalTech, UC Berkeley Seismological Lab, UW, UOregon, ETH Zurich (SED), Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
This is a list of "destructive" incidents, rather than the usual "the project died and dropped off the web as a result" that you're thinking of (based on the vendor going out of business reference).

A more apt comparison would be if a vendor didn't want to support an obsolete product anymore and so they remotely rig it to intentionally take down their client's business portal when they try to update instead of just not being available anymore.

(And of course, that's the analogy, many of the items on this list don't hold up to it, as is the case with all analogies)
One postal service from Hong Kong is a far cry from "all air transport to Wuhan"
Yeah, that's true. But you cannot do much about what a site decides to use. Maybe block every connection to Google servers which may break them. Can also stop using those sites as a protest.

You do want that basis of classical mechanics, because one of the things it teaches you is how to observe a phenomenon and think about the interactions taking place, building up that intuition you're lacking. Physics requires more than just memorising formulas and pattern-matching. It requires you to properly think about what's going on in the interaction you're looking at.
If you're interested, you can find a link below to Kathleen Booth's original report from 1947 titled "Coding for A.R.C." (authored with her -later- husband Andrew Booth)[0]. It details how coding is done for that machine, with a very early form of symbolic instructions that closely resembles what we know as assembly language today.
You can see at the end of the report the mapping between machine codes and symbols.

That being said, there doesn't seem to be indication of building an actual assembler, i.e. a program that reads symbolic instructions and produces machine code. AFAIK, the first assembler was built by David Wheeler for the EDSAC.

> Do you really believe that writing a proof checker for Robinson arithmetic, with or without your new axiom, is different in any salient way than writing a proof checker for PA?

No, and this has exactly nothing to do with my point.
Woah this is inspirational af. Ive been thinking of doing this my self....any way I could get some time to chat with you about this?
Correcting myself: in the ssh-keygen manpage it says that the cert format is not X.509:

Note that OpenSSH certificates are a different, and
much simpler, format to the X.509 certificates used in ssl(8).
another hypothesis i heard was rural kids grew up with their immune systems exposed to more stuff and so better trained/less likely to overreact. personally, i always noticed kids with allergies tended to be weak and sickly much more often, so maybe that's related.
And in a world where meth heads are climbing under cars to steal catalytic converters we have a problem with small portable boxes full of precious metals getting up and walking away when nobody is looking.

Particularly in some rural areas which might be good for power generation.
I agree that it is not the 1% that matters but rather the 10% hit that comes from multiple failures to see a 1% hit as material.
> Do you suggest that all the progress has come from the closed API software and open API stuff has stagnated?

No. Why would you think that?
Both Tidelift and Paydevs solve a pretty specific scenario. IMO, they are not useful unless you are writing a library, or similar type of open source project which is usually invisible (yet can still be critical).

Most libraries rarely need the kind of maintenance work that justifies paying people full-time on them. It's often the case that a library is written and then done - future development may be maintenance type work (supporting newer versions of whatever), or increased coverage of the library's use cases. For all this, Tidelift and Paydevs are a good fit.

But most projects that really need continuous chunks of money are going to be end user apps, adapters/sdks (i lied, those are libraries, but they're more visible and often against a moving target), web services, infra services, etc.

For those, I recommend taking more ownership of the finance and setting up sponsorships via Open Collective (https://opencollective.com/)

Source: I run my own open collectives, have corporate sponsorships through there, I've helped several OSS projects monetize, created my own successful open source startup, etc.

If you're an open source maintainer and need advice on this, feel free to email me and AMA (see profile)
- Compare yourself with your previous version and not with others. (Taught in school to us to not compare grades with other students but with yourself. This stuck with me for life.)

- Knowledge is not power. Knowledge is potential of power. (Brought me out of the false sense of comfort that reading book or completing course/training will automatically benefit me or is progress towards actual work. You need to apply the knowledge else it is useless.)

Because Firefox does the same stuff?

Don't get me wrong, I use Firefox myself, but every once in a while I have to disable Pocket, or Studies, or whatever-the-colors-thing-was-called. I have to click the "what's new" button in the menu on Android and immediately close that tab so that the obnoxious blue dot goes away. A new persistent tab thing appeared this week, I am probably going to have to fiddle with my userChrome.css to remove it.

I think it's the better browser but I definitely don't feel in control.
No they don't, not if they have to spend the money now -- like on a down payment for a house.

There is literally no difference in wealth between losing $100K in cash or in stock, assuming the stock is liquid. They are equally "real", 100%.

And the wealth effect has literally nothing to do with this.

(Fine print: assuming your stock is no more than a small fraction of any specific company, and that these might have different effects on taxes. But the general point stands.)

10 Lessons Learned in 10 years of Angel Investing
I was complaining to a friend about someone who "didn't know shit about what I was working on" and they told me "You can learn from everyone you if you listen to them".

My first reaction to that was thinking "No, some people are just annoying and clueless" but after a few days of pondering that I realized that me being dismissive would get in the way of proving him wrong.

Just a few days later the person I was complaining about did suggest a different way of doing something that I had been doing for years and that advice saved me a lot of time, which made me a lot more money, and was a big improvement over how I'd been doing it.
