The trusted GPS problem might be solved by actually turning GPS upside down and having the device emit the signals instead of receiving them—it’s known as reverse or inverted GPS.

I’ve written a blog post that addresses many of problems, and your comment was one of the reasons I posted it! You can find it at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33558566
I think the key thing is ironclad protection against memory corruption or gain unintended code execution access (barring a bug in the implementation of the compiler/runtime which can of course affect any language).
The book data that I wish was more accessible was bibliographic data. I wish there was a cheap ISBN API (cheap enough for an individual to afford) that I could use to look up all of the data for my book from just a barcode scan. I know there are some API providers for that, but the plans are clearly meant for big users and not for someone who just wants to use it a couple hundred times.

This would be something the Library of Congress should run, or maybe one of the university library consortia, like the formerly-named Committee on Institutional Cooperation, (which has renamed itself the 'Big Ten Academic Alliance', because football - https://btaa.org/library/Libraries )
The main problem here is that the Arduino brand is currently paired with "maker". This was intentional, as they pushed so hard to reach this current status. Now the "maker" market seems to be declining. They have to go PRO.

I know they have the "PRO" line, but the problem is that in professional settings it almost became a joke to even mention Arduino. For a time we had a lot of internal jokes around it (for example, one coworker, in interviews with candidates, always leaves the room as soon as the candidate mentions Arduino).

Myself, I loved the UNO, the concept, the support and the community. Now I use it sometimes to test a 5V sensor or other I2C/SPI peripherals, when I'm not in the mood to use a 3.3V level translator.

On the other hand, if the product is not a success, they might leave the product to die (anyone remember Arduino MKR Vidor 4000? the project last major update is 4 years ago). In that case, to me it means that I prefer to fully qualify and validate a chinese brand, purchase 10000 boards and forget about it.

It will be very difficult to turn the things around for Arduino, to consolidate itself in other markets. I will take a while.

Meta Quest Pro review: get me out of here
Forcing? More like strongly suggesting, but that feels too strong as well. "Hey Yanks! Would you mind getting your shite together? K? Thanks!" Which the US is quite like Fark Off, we do what we want! You're not the king of me!
Nice to see this here! I helped edit parts of this, feel free to ask me questions. Personally I’ve quite enjoyed using Nim in RTOS and embedded systems. I believe it opens up the full power of embedded programming to non-experts.

It’s hard to describe how nice the combination of ARC/ORC memory management with the TLSF allocator is for a ready-to-go real time code and systems programming.

This combo gets 90-95% the speed and size of manual memory management, while being much easier to program. Generally performance and real time metrics or latency is a matter of optimizing your code, not re-writing it. Since Nim v2 integrates the allocator it also makes it trivial to debug allocations, or check for leaks.
Something like a Steel Mill sure. But the idea that something like a Pub is an energy intensive industry surprised me. I think of most businesses these days as being deindustrialized light industry things that only really need a trickle of energy for some led lights and computers. That so many are actually still quite energy intensive disguised by low energy prices surprised me at least.

Afghanistan has something like $1T worth of lithium reserves. Who gets access and how it ends up being exploited remains to be seen but that country is not going to become some forgotten backwater anytime soon.
GDPR applies to everyone, including individuals.
To be fair, any billion-dollar multinational will have an organizational chart that looks very similar to this. Companies like EY exist, almost purely, to create 'tax effective' structures with hybrid debt instruments and service agreements.
Does very respectful mean no dark humor?
>why would people throw billions of dollars at unqualified children?

Because investors had too much cash and became increasingly desperate to earn a return on it. When they have an abundance of cash, they become wreckless and wasteful with their investing as they chase profits.
This particular use of reserve powers probably made it harder to use those same powers in the future due to the outrageous failure to follow protocol, and the consequent deceit involved.
Or: both parties constantly view themselves as the minority party even when they have the majority and complain about how the other party always wins and they never get to.

It’s more nuanced: as results go in national elections, they have roughly equal success within the parameters of the electoral system that we have. Some localities are effectively single-party, and some are purple. Personally I think the people that live in purple parts of the country are the lucky ones and wish my own State were solidly purple, but one of the party’s here really doesn’t know how to run for election and win here anymore.
Did the US sacrifice any animals before they sent a human to space?
Wrong. Controlling people like this with law upon law upon law is a never-ending game of cat and mouse that will, in the long term, end with an authoritarian regime if no loopholes can be tolerated.
Australia sure has a lot of empty land. Must be something down in there.
I won’t get into why, but in general the kind of people who frequent this forum (I.e. people with a natural proclivity towards computers) are very sensitive to “tongue in cheek” turns of phrase that don’t bother most other people.

You’re on the right side of history, because it is a stupid and somewhat insensitive thing to say, but just be aware that many people will be caught off guard by how much it impacts you, since they just see it as a cute joke.
Yeah, in this context she was Queen of Australia.

I was also there a couple of years ago, in Winter with about 8m waves rolling onto the rocks. Even if I do know how to ride big waves I was not that stupid to try it there. It's insanely dangerous, worse than Mavericks. Even Supertubulos, on the other side were too high, they were like Puerto Escondido on big days.
That's why Raku was invented!

Americans are often embarrassed of America, which I think tends to stem from the fact that they think it can be even better than it is. Which isn’t a bad way of looking at things, IMHO.
Safari’s built in translation is surprisingly good. It didn’t even read like a machine translation.
The news for us is Apple sees no viability in search, at least not in how we've become accustomed to thinking about search.

I don't think you can read much about Apple's strategy from this. Apple might well see search as an important priority, they just don't feel spending the sort of money necessary to keep these particular people around is the best way to get there.
How is undo a faster delete?
Rare earth mineral and lithium extraction is going to be the greatest disaster the world has ever seen because ocean floors will be plundered - the damage to the planet whether at sea or on land will be unprecedented.

It is surreal how naive people are about both this plus the huge lithium batteries high temperature fire risks and associated high voltage electrocution.

There is a reason we went from high pressure steam power to a lower pressure oil and gas based economy after the Victorian era.
Cold calling still works if you have a valuable business to business product.
Oddly this argument feels familiar - like we've sparred in the past over GDPR on another hacker news article.

I won't continue this as it seems like it's more a flame war where no side can convince the other.

I'll say this, though: please imagine who I am who feels so passionately about this. Likely, I am a small business that has been affected personally by the GDPR though I am not in advertising or tracking. Maybe I'm just a small business owner trying to navigate the uncertain waters created by these rules. That's what brings out the passion.

I imagine you are someone who is passionate about privacy and against adtech. As am I. We're probably ideologically similar. So please try to square why someone who is ideologically similar has such a strange idea. It might be that I am misinformed but it might be that you don't have the same experience as me.

When you look at co2 per capita, I'm sad to say it's a bit fair.

Even china doesn't emit that much per capita.

Reducing emissions will be immensely difficult for the US. It cannot be done without big consequences for the US economy.
Note that if you delete something and press Undo, it restores the content that was there before removing it.

The "branching undo" in the article extends the concept to being able to recover things that were at some point in your "redo" pile, but which in other editors would been have lost when you typed something else while in that state.

As the article explains, the simplest mental model is "rewind in time to the point I was 5 minutes, 10, 15, 20 minutes in the past". If you've been undoing and redoing things, going through that point in the past will retrieve those removals and retrievals.

I guess we now know that A-OK just means one day away from declaring bankruptcy.
Companies like AAPL give refreshers especially to the key people. The fact that they left to GOOG most likely means that the search engine isn't that high on the priority list of Apple right now.

The article quotes Shopify explicitly saying otherwise.
The mythical "they murdered A GAZILLION PEOPLE". Yeah, totally made up numbers made by anti-soviet historians that inflated numbers and considered natural causes as "murder". You can say what you want about the Soviet Union, but thinking that they ORDERED the killing of millions is complete derangement.

Were there economic problems and famines? Yes, of course, all countries with a rural economy are exposed to famines. Let me introduce you to the Irish famine, that killed millions in a capitalist country, such as Ireland.

Can we count the millions dying of hunger is capitalist countries as victims of capitalism?

"O'Leary pointed out that the decision-making by the government of the day was based on capitalist principles rather than ethnicity; its aim was to reduce the tax burden on the middle-class (who were of both main ethnicities) by clearing the 'unproductive' landless poor from Ireland."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)

- the worst nuclear accident on the planet

Thats a funny way of calling the bombing of Iroshima and Nagasaki. Iroshima and Nagasaki were not accidents, they were the purposefully killing of millions by an atomic bomb. They were not accidents, THOSE were murders.

If you're only adding content, undo removes the most recent content inserted. But that's a very limited case of everything that undo can achieve.
Well that's where you are wrong. There is potentially a huge amount of downside.

The moment you write the put, you are explicitly stating when you buy the stock, if the put ends in the money, as dictated by the expiry.

And if the stock dips far below that amount by the expiry then you have alot of downside that you wouldn't have had if you didn't write the put.

Nothing is free, you write a put and the stock goes down you end up owning the stock that you are ownings at a loss from day one.

You must have chose to do academic things then because I was able to use it for simple real world applications the first day.

Not when it can be used with all other languages.

I got a pay raise and suspect many others would as well.
Yes, for small players at least. I've been refreshing Octopart for G4s and H7s (in certain footprints) for a year with no luck, other than scoring a few G4s for prototyping that soon went out of stock. I'm assuming larger players have access.

There are some variants/footprint combos you can get. For example, I've been able to get G431s for a while in the right footprint, which is similar to the one I'm looking for , but with less flash and ram. Or, I can can an H7 in a way-too-big footprint.

Other MCUs like Nordic and ESP went through the shortage with no unavailability. Not sure if STM's comparatively large product lineup (as opposed to there only being a handful of Nordic and ESP variants) played into this.
We have many of them, but they'll never get widespread adoption until large nations force adoption with regulation. The EU may succeed at this with their new interoperability requirements.

I own quite a lot of GAP clothing—mostly trousers bought second-hand on eBay since they stopped carrying the design I liked—and none of what I have had has ever had a logo other than on the label.
r/bitcoin did that in one of the early downturns, and with good reason: at least one person on r/bitcoinmarkets did take their own life, and several more in the cryoto subreddits talked about it.
I've avoided smart-meter data so far as it shows zero watts no matter how much I export (I don't have an export contract, it's a DIY PV install and no point with current pricing) hence why I'm looking at ones with a seperate sensor. It frustrates me no end that my IHD doesn't show export, only import!
Probably muscle mass and connective tissue, too.
And would I get a pay or benefit cut if my kids die? Oof.
Australia is like the Saudi Arabia of mining. Such a big continent with very few people. Politically stable and smart enough to exploit itself and keep most of the profits. The lucky country indeed.
World’s Largest Autism Whole Genome Sequencing Study: 134 Autism-Linked Genes
A large and growing group of mostly rich countries has severed the link between economic growth and rising emissions of greenhouse gases

Because they outsourced heavy and polluting industries to poorer countries. And I'm not taking into account the greenhouse gases market, were a rich country A can sell it's "consumption level" to poor country B, by selling/donating cheap solar panels or cheap "efficient" wooden stoves, and show in their books that they are more green now.
Who is continuing to give this man money? It's almost a joke now that at least once a week I'll read about SoftBank getting hit with $100 million+ losses. Am I missing some 4d chess/scam here or is he actually the worst investor of all time?
Assuming the claims are accurate, 7.5 BTC seems paltry. I'd image though that the market for such access is small.

And the problem with yoru line of thinking is that at the moment you write a call you are stating the time at which you may be selling the stock.

if you didn't write the call you could sell at any time, but you did write the call so you set the time at which you sell.

if the stock goes up alot then you end up losing alot of the upside.

This is a surprisingly comprehensive and well-written article, worth reading. For example, the authors note that the majority of Australia's lithium ore is refined to metal in China, although there's a push for local Australian refining. For more details on the current state of lithium battery production globally, this is good:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-31850-y

(Jul 2022) "Tracing the origin of lithium in Li-ion batteries using lithium isotopes", Desaulty et al.

This in particular is interesting, using a blockchain to track sourcing:

> "Major car manufacturers like BMW group, Tesla, and Volvo recently announced that they will increase the transparency of their supply chains for EV batteries, and ensure responsible and sustainable sourcing of raw materials. Some companies (BASF, Volkswagen, Fairphone) have started a partnership for sustainable lithium mining in Chile. Carmakers also explore the usefulness of blockchains for improving the scrutiny of supply chains. A blockchain is the control of chain-of-custody systems, based on the shipping documentation that is included in online databases, to allow real-time raw materials tracking and electronic tagging. However, document-based traceability systems can be falsified, and must be independently controlled and audited to provide credibility."
With a lot more regulation, right?
At least Laika server for a noble cause. What I think is terrible is the fact that Soviet Army tied up bombs on dogs and let the run after enemy tanks on the WWII. Humans sometimes acts disgustingly.
Its hard to tell, but looks like the fall out is far from over. There are a lot of rumours running around so unsure what is true and what is not, but we've gotten confirmations from a lot of crypto companies to be affected one way or another. Genesis (a big OTC trading company) lost about 160M but their parent company wrote them a check. BlockFi seems to be in the hole and has closed withdrawals. Blockfolio (an FTX owned company) paused withdrawals. Anything SOL/SRM related is likely affected. Any market maker worth its salt had money on it as well... think we will see a lot of blood in the coming days/weeks.
> Having write already implies that you have read

Yes, but if it's just being implied then it won't list "READ" separately in the "permissionSources", it will just list "WRITE".
For Apple it could just be a customer acquisition cost.
Wrong. FTX US is the US based exchange that accepts Americans. You gotta always read the latest SBF tweets because he consistently says 1 thing then the next day does the opposite.
What extra work required? It seems to me that the attention paid per individual is always less for large parties than, say, a party of two. It's much less personal.
Afghanistan is landlocked. To its north is Russia. To its east is China. To its south are Pakistan and India. And to its west is Iran.

Fun neighborhood. Nothing could go wrong with the above countries fighting for their share of Afghanistan's mineral resources.
Yes, vim’s “set undofile” will create a persistent undo file that stores all changes to the file indefinitely. You can undo changes made months ago over reboots. If you move the undo file between machines, you can undo on different computers.

Undoing a change from 2 hours ago in the same editing session is the trivial use case for undofile.
On Mimesis, Thick Desires, and the Four Layers of Happiness
According to an interview I watched recently, Steve Jobs wasn’t even sure they’d launch the iPhone a year before they did.

There’s a relatively well-known exchange where he flat-out tells an interviewer there’s no phone, and post-launch admits he was lying. The truth was in the middle - if they couldn’t control the product enough (due to then-standard carrier influence over design and experience), then they wouldn’t make a phone. Eventually they found a launch carrier that would let them do it.

If apple can’t make “the best search in the world” (by someone’s subjective definition), then they’ll never launch it. Simple as that.

Photopea.com has a watercolor filter, in JS, all client side. It's not very good ATM so there's certainly room for improvement. Doing it all client side would solve the queue problem.
That’s good. Of course indirectly they’re exposed to the macro environment that FTX just dropped on everybody.
Each EU country does seem to have a different approach to the GDPR though. Germany's one is known for being particularly hard line, whereas the UK (not in EU but still follows GDPR) is known for being more pragmatic.

I don't know how that affects lawsuits though. I'm guessing if you have any customers in Germany, then someone could take you to court in Germany, but I'm not sure...
If they've fixed it in the last 5 months, then hooray.

I got to experience a cadaver lab when my wife was taking a gross anatomy course. By the time I visited they were pretty deep into the semester, so the bodies were pretty well cut up.

I only saw people being respectful the two times I was there, after hours with only students and no professors around.

The smell was terrible, not because of rotting flesh, but because the chemicals. I had more opportunities to visit, but couldn't really get over the smell so would just wait in the hall for my wife.

I'm optimistic that I don't experience that many dead bodies again until I am one.
I wish Australia the best of luck in escaping the resource curse, by moving up the value chain.
