Windows is a general computing OS. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that it's not. Even in the article it states that WSL2 seemed to run fine.

The issue is if the DevKit is intended for any and everything. My point is that they never were. Were the original iPhone dev kits set up to easily run Windows Mobile? Are car devkits that can accomodate Apple Car Play or Android Auto, easily able to run their Windows equivalent?

All these kits have platforms in mind when building them and are tested to support them. Anything above and beyond is use at your own risk.

Fun clue! Looks like the Xilinx KU060 is a rad-hard FPGA for space applications. Does anyone know what 200 MHz might imply? Comms maybe?
The lottery should only be played if the amount of money you spend on it could be thrown in a fireplace and not have any effect on your life.

If you want to do something more fun than watch the money burn, then play the lotto and have fun. There's no need to have condescending attitudes about it and definitely don't try to game out the ridiculous odds to justify spending money you wouldn't spend otherwise.

I don't think so. There are blue check accounts that get purchased, and then have the name and image replaced with that of a famous person to sell scams. Check the replies under any real Musk tweet.
How do you fund your maptiler bill? I've used maptiler in the past and found that using Mapbox GL JS with 50,000 map loads free-tier was significantly cheaper for me.

But your map is much smaller and users likely don't pan/zoom it very much.

To be fair to the annoying "call us" pricing practice, on your end you need to have a ballpark idea of what you want, whether its number of seats, data size, or whatever the product is sized in. Having that makes the calls go faster and can help you and the salesguy save time if there isn't even a chance of a match.

I've been working on Recall for a while now, it had some initial traction in the beginning which has since died down now. I am facing the inevitable question of whether to continue with the project. I just put out a new release and it would be helpful to get advice from the community on what they think of the idea and my implementation.
Can you rlaborate why do you think MS killed them?

For me it was a shitty hardware (Intel Atoms coupled with slooow HDDs or tiny and slow eMMC SSDs) with the market eaten by smartphones (for always on Internet connectivity) and iPads/tablets for anything requiring a bigger screen but not yet a full notebook.
I don’t get it. Is this a zing!
"Licensing" is a strong word when applied to China. I'm pretty sure they have advanced a lot and may have surpassed Russian technology in some areas. As far as I understand it, they have more diverse launch vehicles, for example. Hard to compare what constitutes "better", as long as it works. I don't think they are as cost-efficient as SpaceX or even Atlas and Ariane systems.
Vendor list pricing is absurd. Real story but using made up numbers below:

I spoke with a vendor last week who came in at 500k. I told them my budget was 250k, price came back at 255k.

I didn't fully appreciate how good iOS's built in OCR was until recently when I had to extract the text from some scanned PDFs. There were very few errors, most of the work was redoing the formatting. I wouldn't be surprised if OCR with basic formatting (bold, italics, underline) becomes a thing eventually too, although I could see that being difficult to get right in the case of poor quality images or scans.
can't you turn that off?
I hope it doesn’t. It’s just as evil as Facebook.
I've started some work on a similar project as well on Windows. We should be able to fully query our lives, and we should also be guaranteed that data is ours. I believe this is where data collection should go - your data is yours, and you own it. All the data that Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, etc collect on us, yet we have such limited access to it. This should be ours, and ours to analyse, search, and gain insights on in any way we wish. This should really be an open-source, community project as well - tools, analytics, apps, all made to help you be a better version of yourself.
Lol, nothing is better about the dark skyline image. It's a blurry noise canceled mess with bad white balance.
I can't speak at all to the space station, but my understanding from discussions over beers with American spacecraft MechEs was that Shenzhou resembles Soyuz (and is derived form Soyuz in real ways), but is noticeably larger. This has a significant amount of effects to essentially every aspect of the design making it pretty damn close to a fully indigenous design. They would've had to truly own every piece of the design and manufacturing to make those changes and end up with the flight safety record they currently hold.
Yeah, it's hard to compare 35mm full frame sensors with miniscule camera sensors. As you said the magic is their processing which compensates for that.
You likely won't get pricing information out of a company like this. It's safe to assume "Contact Us" is being used as shorthand for a price between expensive and absurdly expensive. Usually companies that do this offer some sort per-company rate based on what you need along with a bunch of additional services.

Hate to say it but you're basically only going to find out by going through the sales funnel. Some of them may even turn you down for simply saying "we're evaluating X and would like to know the price".
I am sure that's the correct assumption for some companies. I don't think it's right regardless how big the customer. But there are always exceptions, the size of your customer's business may affect your effort for onboarding and continues support, and therefore you may charge them different.

10 years of experience in ad-tech, currently heading a team of 8 engineers responsible for building and running an analytical application.

Throughout my career I worked on the entire software stack specially focusing on data processing and infrastructure.

I'm looking for principal/staff roles.
Apple News has mostly low-quality publishers on board. $12.99 or whatever they charge isn't going to get you access to publications that cost $20/mo. on their own.
Those sales people do ‘squeeze’ out a lot of $$$, and it’s also how they often get competitive and product intelligence. What other products is the person using, what expectations/requirements do they have that we might or might not be meeting, etc.
At some point kids like independence... at least to choose/read the menu - around 5-6y of age. It'd mean sharing the phone with them one by one, instead of having a menu each.

Normally I'd pay the bill entirely (split whatever is non-issue at all) - however picking items for everyone is just bizarre, e.g. everyone would have to tell what to order, I would have to find and not mess up - in short not fun at all, cosplaying the waiting staff
You are claiming that if your product A does not have feature X that could make it faster, it is okay to claim that your product A is faster than product B by hampering B under the impediment of not using X?

"My database A is is faster than B! (When B is not using indexes, because my database A does not have indexes, so it would be unfair to let B uses indexes..." is the equivalent here.
I remember being confused about sexuality: I couldn't be gay because I also liked women, so I must be straight. Then I realized there was a word to describe attraction that's indifferent to gender. Also turns out I'm nonbinary, which handily resolved similar confusion over gendered expectations.

Anyway, you might be an ambivert. Society tries to shove us into neat, easy to reason about binaries, but humans just aren't binary. We exist largely on bimodal distributions and most people aren't all one or another of any particular thing.

How? You haven't provided an email or website.
From someone who’s done a lot of sales, I agree with this. If they dodge the question, asking something direct like: “how many figures are we talking about, 5, 6, 7?” can help.

Most of the time sales folks don’t want to quote you a ballpark right off the bat because they know that you’ll be expecting something like that number on the final proposal.

If they dodge giving you a price range then try approaching from a different angle, asking what’s the smallest implementation they’ve done (tell them it’s to make sure you’re not too small a project for them). Then ask them about their biggest client (they might start chatting your ear off so be ready to cut them off). Then ask them directly what they would charge for those exact same implementations.

You’ll end up with a huge 10k foot view, but you might be able to get that in a few days, then you can drill down into a few of the more suitable vendors.

This seems more difficult to find with fuzz tests than Heartbleed. Unit tests of all edge values would have found this. I think the solution is to use better tools and methodology.

The size of the code base is also just daunting and a security risk in itself.
"A goal of the ACT community is to bridge the gap between theorists using category-theoretic modeling tools and those who want to use the models to say something useful and true about the world"

This is key. Sure category theoretic abstractions are useful as a common language. Lot's of theorems are applicable in many domains.

The hard thing is understanding all this stuff and mapping it into your domain.
Achronix | Santa Clara CA, Bangalore, Remote | Remote OK | https://www.achronix.com/ | Full time

We're a high performance FPGA startup of about 200 people. We compete directly with Xilinx and Altera with our Speedster FPGA products and we also sell FPGA fabric as an IP. One of our key differentiators is that we use a Network on Chip (NoC) architecture with Network Access Points (NAPs) throughout the fabric instead of at the edges. This allows for much faster designs and fewer LUTs used for routing data. We also have more granular partial reconfiguration zones and constrained place and routing for designs that have copies of certain components. As you might imagine, this requires a lot of smart engineers, and we're growing the team! Here's what we're looking for:

Software Engineers: C++, Java, Python, System Verilog

Hardware Engineers: Architecture, Design Verification, Physical Design

Careers page: https://www.achronix.com/company/careers

Recruiter contact: keithwhite@achronix.com

We're debt free, net profitable (over $100M/year) with cash on hand, and we're pre IPO. We have an established set of customers in many different areas of the market including Smart NiCs, AI, high frequency trading, and autonomous driving, and high performance computing.
Are you defining intermittency in a way that isn't captured by capacity factor (where offshore wind looks as good as gas)?

Also, what do you mean by "indispensable"? Surely when coal was the source for most of Germany's electricity, you could say that coal was "indispensable". Just as coal has been replaced by natural gas and renewables, it's possible to replace natural gas with over-provisioning of renewables (and using the excess electricity to produce synthetic gas).

I don't think the law will get hammered down until the AI models generate 'major recording artist' inspired songs. Anyone claiming that artists can't claim 'style' as a defense of AI generated works is in for a rude awakening.
Microsoft and naming issues. That's one iconic duo.
I mean mixing is a whole industry itself, why do you think that's an unsatisfactory target market?
Every time I look at a pic of the Cybertruck, I expect Michael J Fox to step out of it. Without a styling redo, it's going to have all of the staying power of the Delorean and the original Hummer. Iconic at first, seemingly comical later.
I'd be very interested in reading it! I've been thinking about the problem of performant real text layout a lot lately. I'm guessing you're not including optimization-based paragraph filling (like TeX or GNU fmt) in "real text layout"?
I’m not sure I’d say anything is a “fatal mistake” if it works, and this appears to? Feels like you’re coming at this from “it’s suboptimal”, calling it a fatal mistake is a bit much?

I would look at it this way:
Firstly, it’s just a demonstration of how far a technology can scale, not an endorsement of technical approach for the customers.

Secondly, on serverless, PlanetScale is just solving things their customers want? They don’t have a business if they don’t do that.

Finally, even if you are “right” or at least making a valid point, isn’t the “rethink this entire problem” take principled more than practical? There’s always 47 things to do and time only exists to do a few.
Iceland: Land of Fire and Ice – and “carbon-free” flights?
I'd prefer countries to cooperate more. There's no need to have dozens of national space stations or even launch systems. Some diversity is Ok, but it's just too damn expensive.
I've had success asking other clients what they pay, assuming they're not a direct competitor of yours. This is easiest at conferences and professional events.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't nushell suffer from the same problem as powershell that all the nice fancy stuff works only for in-process commands and external programs are bit of a second-class citizens?

To me interesting question is that is it even possible to build rich strucure-aware shell-like cli environment that would allow seamless integration of external polyglot programs in the same vein as unix shells where only minimal amount of stuff is required to be builtins (/bin/[ is cute example).

It is a difficult problem, at minimum probably requires all compatible software to be explicitly made so. But for best experience even the basic unix fundamental of stdin/stdout/stderr+argv/env might need re-evaluation.
I think I follow you. It's a way to shut down conversation before it's

Lead software engineer with 3 years of experience in leading teams. Approaching a decade in the industry. I'm looking to work in a product based company, ideally in a high-growth but smaller size environment after working for a few years in enterprise.
I'm a T-shaped engineer with my specialty being in web development. In the past few years, I did a lot of cloud/automation (mostly AWS, certified) and in one of the recent projects, I led the platform/infrastructure team. I do consider myself tech-agnostic and definitely more interested on what we are building and how we can deliver rather than if we are using framework A or framework B. :)
My passions are mentoring and sharing knowledge with the broader community via meetups or workshops.

People who forget history allow it to repeat. The freedom of business owners to choose who they do business with is entrenched in the idea of capitalism and it's usually balanced by capitalist greed. If you don't want to do business with someone for "reason" then someone else will be ready to take their money.

We have enshrined protected classes and forgotten why they are called out as protected classes. Choosing who you do business with is a something that was never questioned. Yes even asshole bigots used to have that choice and almost no one thought it was wrong. The reason the government stepped in to make it wrong was not because one individual business was doing it, it's because they all were doing it. This has the effect of excluding certain people from participating in society. That's why they became a protected classes.

Banking is a requirement to participate in modern society both as an individual and a business. More and more often we see banks excluding individuals and business for no specific reason, or they put onerous requirements in them with no justification. Banks, especially banks, while private are heavily regulated by the government. I can't just start a bank like I could shoe shine stand. Because the banks, while private are effectively extensions of government monetary policy they should not be allowed to refuse any business. They should publicly documented policies on how they evaluate risk, and risk should be individualized.

Excluding those you disagree with morally or politically from society is as wrong as excluding based on any of the enumerated classes. Religion is a choice as much as morals and politics as practiced within the law.

Yes I know it's Canada but it's not too dissimilar.

That is what it was, in theory. There are some issues in practice, and in any case Musk has a very different vision of what it is for (the user facing reason seems to be largely “paying for positioning in the algorithm”.)

EDIT: In addition to algorithmic prioritization, you also get a 50% reduction in ads and the ability to post “long video and audio”, per Elon’s recent announcements.
I did it once in my career. We've had one legacy PHP project designed to work for MySQL. I was in charge of bringing it back to live and I decided to host in on Heroku for the sake of simple deployment. While Heroku does have MySQL addons I opted for using Postgres.

So we've just switched underlying connection and fixed a dozen of (mostly reports) places with plain SQL queries with MySQL-specific syntax. ORM library handled rest just perfectly.
