Excellent post imo. Wish more people would be ready to pay more than always wanting to pay less. Especially the 0.1%.
IMO that distinction doesn't make much sense. Text is (as soon as it's stored on a computer) a binary format: you have to specify encoding, etc.

Inserting or removing a control character in a binary file would break stuff too. Maybe even more so.

You may think of the ability to add CRCs (or at least checksums/parity bits) in a binary file? That's extra work, and can be provided by other mechanisms, like par files or at the filesystem level.

The advantage of text formats is that binary decoders for text are ubiquitous. That said, it's usually simple to filter input data through a decoder like gzip.
Having served as an election officer for the last decade, one must say that RCV is to ballots what a complex dependency tree is to your IT project: something that may look swell under laboratory conditions, but Fortune help you in the real world, at scale (see Maricopa County for related woes).

Arguments about election reform need to stress two points to gain traction with me:

1. Physical security of the (obviously tangible) ballot.

2. Physical security of the voter while marking the ballot.

I first heard Scott Adams point out that any situation involving great reward (e.g. political power) and low risk (the number of convictions pertaining to election fraud is scant) is going to be rife with corruption.

Give me:

- Election Day. Make it a holiday. Staff and provision it to make a positive experience for all.

- Minimal mail-in ballots. They are a huge physical security risk in both ways mentioned above.

- Minimal early voting. "Election Season" is bollocks and security risk.

I would have prefered a 64bits RISC-V cpu core, that, to share 64bits RISC-V (I know there is a good "compatibilty" between RISC-V 64bits ISA and 32bits ISA. "compatibilty"). My thought is: "Write 64bits RISC-V assembly once for all".

And it is missing that USB-C connector on the board and the memory card slot for booting code.

You'll tell me the pins are there, but then I am worried about the remaining count of usable GPIO pins.
One issue with SHA-3 is that it currently (unfortunately) lacks hardware acceleration support, while SHA-256 can be ridiculously fast on modern x86 and ARM chips. BLAKE3 is another potential alternative, it can be used as XOF and can be very fast without hardware support.

> punishing an airline

The airline isn't being "punished" - they're being required to either complete a contract, or to compensate their counterparty for their failure to complete.

To take the example upthread, if the pizzaiolo drops a screw in my pizza, the resulting safety issue doesn't void the contract; he has to go off and make me a new pizza, or give my money back. It's not a punishment. If he can't complete on the contracts he makes, he has to stop selling pizzas or go broke.

I don't know any good reason why airlines shouldn't be subject to normal contract law.

I've never seen this behaviour at an OS level. This seems like an editor issue, and binary files are not exempt from being messed up by a slightly incompatible editor, far from it.
It's a troll. But not wrong.

C treats computer memory as an array of bytes indexed by a pointer type that can take only finitely many values. If the pointer type can be cast losslessly to `long int` - which is usually understood to be 64 bit - then this byte array has precisely 2^64 entries. That implies that C programs have an absolute limit on the amount of memory they can use (2^64 bytes). That's obviously true, because each call to `malloc` fills up another entry of this finite byte array. C therefore can't simulate a Turing Machine, because a Turing Machine can use an unbounded amount of memory.

If you use a file system, or another source of external memory or storage, then the above argument no longer applies.
In 2022 I dramatically reduced my time in THE SMARTPHONE ABYSS by choosing a single spot in my home and always leaving my phone there to charge.
I don't bring my phone into other rooms -- it stays on the kitchen counter.

But my "phone home" didn't help the compulsive notification checking, so I "extinguished" all notifications. The only notifs I now receive are for phone calls.

In 2023, I'd like to go on phoneless adventures! A cellular Apple Watch (or whatever) makes it relatively safe to go places without a SMARTPHONE ABYSS in your pocket.

What is "usefulness" then? It's clear that different programming languages are more suitable for different use cases, for example one wouldn't normally script a browser in Lua or use Javascript to write a driver for a hardware device.

That said, if it's about use cases, Prolog is an excellent language for web development and capable of replacing most of the usual mixed OOP and relational stack. For example, the SWI-Prolog website runs on SWI-Prolog's own http libraries.

Quoting from https://www.swi-prolog.org/dogfood.html:

This page presents a brief history of hosting and developing http://www.swi-prolog.org. The website runs SWI-Prolog and is basically `PlDoc, the SWI-Prolog source documentation system on steroids'. This site replaced a classic Apache server built from static documentation pages, a Twiki-based wiki and Bugzilla. The site was re-implemented as a SWI-Prolog-based HTTP server that extends PlDoc for the following reasons:

1. PlDoc unites the core reference manual with the package documentation and documentation extracted from all loaded sources in a coherent interface. In addition, it provides search, dynamically generated hyperlinks between the various pieces of documentation, and display of the source code. This is far better than the fragmented and not properly interlinked static documentation of the old site.

2. SWI-Prolog comes with extensive libraries for providing web services. Running the website on the system is just the ideal opportunity to test these services and prove to the Prolog community that they are a vital piece of the infrastructure and that we trust them. The server:

welcomes about 4,000 visitors each day, viewing about 30,000 pages (120,000 hits) (2013)
serves about 350 Gb of data per month
serves downloads from static files
serves manual pages from on-the-fly post-processed HTML documents
serves dynamically generated HTML pages from documented source files, coloured source files, etc.
analyses, indexes and presents packs. It also presents the meta-data for pack_install/1
runs a REST API to handle user annotations.

You should absolutely do this for yourself. It will change your outlook.

I once did a simple real-life experiment - which you can only do with
cash money so put those confounded cards away - to "accidentally"
give shopkeepers and mates a bit more money than necessary. In every
case that they counted it they gave me back the difference. In all other
cases they simply trousered it, thus showing that they blindly trusted me.

My hypothesis is that we all know the reality doesn't match the pervading
sentiment. So this article really begs a strange question.

Welcome to retail.

On online retail, that’s why delivery services weight the packages, take photos of the boxes delivered etc.

On retail in general, we’ve enjoyed these same questions for decades. You buy a video card, open the box and a connector is bent. When getting it back to the brick and mortar store, you’ll have quite a time explaining you didn’t crush it by accident. Shops that value you will help. Other will just show you the door, and you’ll need to find many other people with similar issues to finally get your voice heard.

A lot of people here seem to be arguing Amazon returns are black and white… they are not, and you’ll have the same discussions as everywhere else, except you’ll be sending messages and photos back and forth.

Thank you for the explanation, but that does not quite hit the spot: it explains what would happen if the governor vetoes the bill. In this case the governor claims she made some "agreement" with the Legislative to change the text of the bill shortly before signing it. And it appears that happened without Senate and Assembly voting on these changes, completely skipping this "final decision by the full membership".

I would like to know who the governor made an agreement with. The Standing Committees might be a possibility. kwiens named the bills sponsors as a possibility. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34193369). If the bill was changed shortly before signing it, i would also like to know what the text of the signed bill is. This whole process implied by memorandum #93 seems irregular to me.

>you're more encouraged to install packages to the base system

From documentation, I'm not even sure how this is done. The only options for packages documented are platform-independent packages (Flatpak, etc) and apx (distrobox-based toolbox alternative).
The integration is still there and it is mentioned in our assets guide: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/asset_management.html#third-party...

Regarding import maps, I am still slightly skeptical. First they don’t solve all needs of npm (for example, what if you need to precompile your FE code?). Second, I have feeling that every import map management tool will eventually become a package manager through slowly creep in of requirements. At the same time, there is nothing stopping anyone using it on their Phoenix apps if they so desire.
Well, as the article says, Git already fixed the issue, SHA-256 is already supported. Now it's up to GitHub, GitLab and the innumerable other platform/tool providers to update their solutions, until then Git can't in good conscience make SHA-256 the default, because that would condemn a repository to a life in eternal isolation...
They managed to spell it three times correctly. Unfortunately, one of the two mis-spellings is right in the title:-(
It depends what you want to use it for. For me as a hobbyist specs definitely matter.

But I woukd divide boards that I use into : mostly microcontrollers. Those are fine with a low clock if they have lots of hardware io (spi, uarts, pwm, i2c etc), or if they require bit banging they need a fast clock (rp2040).

Then there are Sbcs like raspberry PiS, pine64 quartz 64 and this board. I use them for stuff that requires lots of processing power. Camera encode and send, emulate an old 8-bit computer, do object detection on camera feed, emulate a disk drive for a retro machine and so on.

So good specs matter to me. Especially this 6Teraflops NPU. I've been using Google Edge TPU that has (supposedly) 4 Tops and it works great for medium resolution (720p) object detection. Of course I woukd prefer 40 tops and ability to plug nvme storage to run large AI let's say on a small drone, but even 6tops is very cool.

It is a bit disappointing it has dvp camera interface only. Csi cameras are much more plentiful these days. Also no mention of camera isp latency makes me think it will be unusable for real time use (I would love to have "<20ms" or approximately one frame of latency).
I'd argue specs really do matter. There is several points to make:

Firstly hobbyists are really a spectrum. Anything in between an retired pro to a child playing with point resistor legs can be called hobbyists, and it is people from within this spectrum who make it accessible to others and advancing what is possible for someone without a lab and funding.

Having cheaply available hardware with at least good enough datasets drives this.

In my mind we shouldn't argue a blinking KARR is enough for a child. This is the argument for regression. We should think what a child's mind can come up with, if we make those recent things accessible to them.

Coming back to specs: CNXSoft is one of those sites that maps new features, technologies that we can use to hardware that becomes available. It is the inspiration to those higher level hobbyists to make the tools for the beginners.

Shareholders are usually legally entitled to quarterly or year end financials at a minimum, even for private companies. Though I don't know if any such reports are available yet to investors.
That sounds like a good plan :)

On a more serious bend, though, if you don’t plan ahead at all, after a while life’s random walks tend to lead to low energy dead ends.

So even if you don’t set out with a plan for everything, then at least do some regular (eg weekly) reflection, so as not to lose your bearings.
