It's simple enough to give ICs the correct context. The good ones, with adequate autonomy and purpose, will solve the company's problems in ways that will keep the machine running smoothly. That's not to say that every IC is good at prioritizing work appropriately. Some of them may go off into the weeds. But in my experience, it's much harder to provide context to management and business people, such that they truly understand the value of certain things. All too often, they march straight down a path that leads to pain, attrition, and gridlock, all the while, thinking they are maximizing efficiency. It's a story I've seen way too many times. Having said that, I have worked with two very effective managers. They were exceptional listeners, and knew when to compromise, and when to push back, on both sides of the fence. Interestingly, they were both former ICs and were very well acquainted with the technical side of things.
It’s the same verb but it raises a smile every single time. Yes I am a child in an adult’s body.

Slightly OT, they pronounce router “rowter” over here, presumably to avoid the same issue.
What was the app?
It’s already the case that you have to do this for certain groups of products in France under the AGEC laws. Take for example this dishwasher: https://www.ikea.com/fr/fr/p/diskad-lave-vaisselle-encastrab... . It has an “indice de répairabilité” of 7.4, generated from a bunch of different factors such as ease of disassembly, availability of spare parts and documentation, and the ability to factory-reset it. The data sheet listing those factors for this model is here: https://www.ikea.com/fr/fr/files/pdf/4f/fd/4ffd4fd2/indice-d...
I'm one of the main authors. No stagnation, the future is bright but I've been founding a small company recently, not related to Pijul. I've shown an MVP to customers three months ago, now I'm close to 1.0 there. I promise I'll move back to Pijul soon.

Another issue is the Nest (our hosting service), I've been working on a new Nest that can benefit from being open source, unlike the current one.

Another indication that it's doing alright: I'll give a talk about it at BOB 2023 (bobkonf.de), and an invited talk in April at Collège de France.

In central Europe this is often done to bypass a Historic Bureau. Target of those guys is to preserve current "genus loci" of the city forcing owners to use traditional materials and processes to fix the building so outside it is still looking the same.

The loophole is that if building is too damaged, that there is no viable way to repair it, then it can be destroyed and new one can be built. So you can just let it be as is and wait you can help the decay by removing roof and let rain and cold do the work. Or in most extreme cases, just set it on fire "by accident".
Other than rush hour traffic I don’t have problems with cars i suburbs - they work really well if you work from home.

I am pro bike lines and public transport tho which would do nothing to my weekly drive to get groceries.

You 'only' need to maintain a steady 1g acceleration for years, rather than seconds.

> you have to think of the results, not the source

You can. But it's equally valid to look at the source and say "this should have been replaced long ago"

Which is really has, except for tiny markets.

No reason it can't be improved on drastically.
(again) Spin–orbit resonance means that "Tidally-locked" doesn't equate to "always presents the same face.

which leads to:

> But it is much farther from the sun than announced planets are from theirs.

a) So?

b) Is it really? I mean sure, in an absolute sense - but what about in an appropriately scaled sense, allowing for the 1/sixth decreased sun mass and the inverse square force relationships, etc.

c) Even so, see a) - How does this alter the fact that tifally locked doesn't equate to "always presents the same face".

To be clear, I'm just highlighting the fragile and dubious nature of your earlier assertion about tidal locking.
I think your numbers are off by 100x or missing a %.

Yeah one thing I have learnt in my adventures is that you should never try to do business in a non advanced economy. I keep all my business in the Netherlands no matter where I live.
Interesting library. It gives me emacs vibes for some reason, and also those "text note calculator things."

What were you thinking of building with it?
...ah, okay. Well what I was reacting to was the fact that stabbing your horse with nails is what will actually happen if you try to shoe your own horse and you do it badly, as the inner part of the hoof is "alive" just like other parts of the body and can definitely not accommodate any nails. So the difference between stabbing your horse with a nail and putting the nail where it belongs is something like 5mm, and you have to hit that while the horse (which may be 10x your weight) won't hold still. If it weren't for that minor detail, everybody would just shoe their own horse.

But you probably won't get arrested for attempting this and getting it wrong.

If you have a well-behaved horse and you take a course, like they have in those trade schools in the U.S., where they give you a hoof from a cadaver and just let you practice driving a nail into it 100 times, and then you do it a dozen times while getting feedback from a pro, then it seems quite doable. But those courses don't even exist in Germany, as the trade is that keen on preventing these kinds of skills from becoming too widespread.

Solid argument. No chief executive with an MBA has ever contributed positively to the company they run. ::eyeroll::
Interested how it happened.
How about long distances? Even zooming on ebike it still takes ages, even longer if you are on a bike line, obeying speed limit.

Climate is another factor - in a hot weather it’s actually nice to be on ebike (other than sunburn), but rain and cold climates suck. In NL public transport always used to fill up on a bad day.

changing the software on hardware you own is not illegal

Not true. The DMCA makes it illegal to "circumvent" DRM schemes. It's also illegal to carrier-unlock your phone without your carrier's permission.
Yes, it was a contentious topic when I was working on The Division and its sequel, since it runs on a game engine that was built in house.

However, even though the games did not ship on Linux proper, the work that went in to supporting stadia had a profound effect on the games ability to work under WINE.

People often overlook Stadia as putting significant pressure on devs to support Linux, and give a lot of credit to Valve, but the reality is that both are responsible.
I'm not seeing any screenshots or videos of this product. I do see on their partners page a link to a blog that uses BeeLine which you can experience for yourself by clicking on "ENHANCE READABILITY":

They do heavy data collecting which is a PR hit if it's too obvious. Obfuscation could be a general policy driven by this.
Most of the ideas protocols are trying will not in fact work in opinion. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the next cycle see an explosion in defi credit with a narrative like “we solved the problems of Celsius and genesis, and defi protocols are now proven to be safe in bear since only defi collapsed in 2022”. Followed by exuberance and a crash of products like Frax or even Rai if it’s bad enough (rai is over collateralized but due to slowness in onchain liquidations it’s possible for collateral to crash faster than it can be liquidated. This happened to Dai a few years ago but now it’s mostly backed by USDC).

Frax uses a market making mechanism that is supposed to identify the maximum seigniorage they can use to pump FXS without breaking peg. The ratio fluctuates over time. This is a partially uncollateralized coin.

For the other cases, you can Google it or ask in bsc or eth telegram/discord defi chats to find them. I prefer not mentioning them as they are generally going to fail and the longer we can sit in this bear market the better for devs. Bulls suck all the talent into scams.
Natural gas already contains hydrogen. Up to 20% of hydrogen in natural gas doesn't sound all that dangerous. The article you linked says "if a hydrogen economy replaced the fossil fuel-based energy system and had a leakage rate of 1%, its climate impact would be 0.6% of the fossil fuel system.". So the climate impact would be 100 times smaller(?)

Yes there are many delaying tactic for switching to electricity (the promise of "synthetic fuel" for example, to power existing gas cars). But using hydrogen to replace fossil fuels is needed anyway, for example for ammonia production and steel manufacturing. So I don't understand why you think hydrogen will delay the switch to electricity.

Agreed. Most prophets seem to be deranged. The prophet of Islam was probably a schizophrenic, Jesus was also delusional and Buddha did some pretty extreme things like abandoning his wife and newborn son to starve himself in the forests which is not what any mentally sane person would do. And yes Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar are all majority Buddhist countries but don't even follow the basics of buddha's teaching like non-violence given their rather violent eating practices involve killing all sort of animals.
I sometimes use it to hide infuriating but hard to resist stuff like the latest "safe space" rules at $university. Not often enough, at least I usually manage to avoid commenting.
Sarcastic. :) I dislike the “never change history” attitude.

Likely it was caused by your computer and browser not playing nice with x265 hardware decoding, I used to run the gamelet on the same network as my desktop and would get the same on some configurations.

Frustratingly, it was not easy to know at a glance that this was what was happening, but there were times (many times, actually) where my chromecast ultra at home was performing much better with Stadia than my gaming PC

Having basic services within a 10-15 minute walk is one thing (and in general shouldn't be hard to achieve with sensible zoning etc.) but it's the trips many of us regularly to get to work, to visit friends/family or access larger shopping centres etc. where there's little choice but to drive that concern me. That people will put up with being stuck in barely-moving peak hour traffic often for hours each day to make such trips really speaks to the poor quality of the alternative options, but seems to me an inevitable consequence of our collective decisions about where to live or work that are based on unrealistic assumptions about the practicalities of always being able to get where you need by car, and that governments will continue to massively prioritise infrastructure projects to support it.

No, they don't. You can get the boards starting at about $2 a piece, which is about the same as STM32 clone boards.
What's wrong with complaining about sprawling bureaucracy? I can only see downsides and no upsides. Don't you want it to be eliminated? I think people are not yet complaining enough.
I never understood the attraction of Ham radio, outside the technical aspect (building fancy radio equipment) if you're into electronics, and I'm old enough that Ham was still a thing when I was growing up and I had one friend that was really into it. Unlike all the online services where there were separate channels for different interests, even back in the BBS/Compu$erve days, ham radio had no such thing, it was just random people. You might as well just go hang out at a bar and talk to random people there; the quality of conversation won't be any different.
I'm pretty sure you could pick literally any account and get similar numbers. The point is that Cory isn't an outlier or unpopular or anything. All twitter users are like this.

Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 released
Can you share any more details about the Pong port? I have been collecting various bits of information about u'nSP processors, particularly the SPG2xx series used in mid 2000s plug-and-play games, but so far I have never seen an actual homebrew game for any of these chips (with the exception of the Mattel Hyperscan's SPG293, which however uses a different architecture).

I have also been looking into the newer GeneralPlus GPM4x30 SoCs used by some modern Chinese plug-and-plays with HDMI output, at least by the ones that aren't straight up Famiclones hardwired to a composite to HDMI upscaler. Those are ARM based so much less of a pain to reverse engineer but also much less fun...
It must have been nice to have been alive in the early internet where barely any domains were taken.

On the bright side domains have been less relevant since the rise of accessing sites via search engines and the move to mobile apps whose stores don't suffer from the squatting issues.

> It's difficult to say what these numbers might represent without more context. They could be a list of numerical data, possibly related to a particular topic or theme.

Aren't Single Page Applications implementing most of the ideas? Sending programs (Javascript), and objects (JSON). I think we moved already to very different formats than print, for better or worse, i.e. endless streams vs. a limited paper resource.
Thanks for this, your phrasing makes the concept more clear.

Can you give a (fictitious as necessary) example of what would constitute "direct detection of life", from an astrobiological perspective? Given our window to the universe is through telescopes I'm having difficulty imagining/distinguishing how to draw the line between "observed data for which we don't have any non-biological explanation" and something even stronger.

Like, does "direct detection of life" only include "we sent something there and found life"?

> we’ve already detected bio signatures for life in the atmosphere of Mars (seasonal methane emissions).

And ~Europa~ Enceladus too, right? ~ISTR seeing some paper about plumes of water vapor, as well as chemistry for which we don't have any non-biological explanation.~ I found it -- I was thinking of in 2017 when H2, CO2 and CH4 were detected at a ratio in thermodynamic disequilibrium .

Edit: I'm guessing "direct detection" in an astrobiological context would be something that builds on "direct detection" in an exoplanet context, a concept I already understand a bit -- friend of mine wrote her thesis on direct detection and imaging of exoplanets 15 years ago. :)

One reason could be that Goa has the highest GDP per capita among Indian states and Goans are the richest among Indians. Goa is famous for its Susegad lifestyle and there is relative prosperity in Goa that's not usually present in other regions. However the Goans who leave shores head to UK skipping Portugal altogether.
> airbnb is the reason that you were unable to find a long-er term rental in the first place).

No, the reason for that is that demand exceeds supply. The reason demand exceeds supply is that voters don’t want more people living there. Democracy gives the people what they want, good and hard.
Uruguay, close enough!
No. I know what DI is. The debate is similar to imperative vs. OOP. But this is not exactly what I am referring to. Literally look at the second example, it's DI over and over and over again.

I am referring to DI 100%. Function composition works better and is a replacement for DI. You're the one that isn't getting it.

Either way, imperative programming and OOP are orthogonal concepts. There never really was an argument about imperative vs. OOP.

Additionally function composition is an FP concept. I'm not promoting FP over OOP here... far from it, I am simply saying that specifically for DI, you can borrow a pattern from FP and use it in place of DI because function composition is a much better pattern.
Elevators should have lower buttons for the handicapped
The article is way overblown and borderline clueless. First off, the Luddites demonstrating before the Web Summit had a political backing, they’re not a grassroots movement. That demonstration happened for the cameras (and to further a small party’s ambitions to the limelight).

Second, there is indeed backlash against the golden visa program, but the most meaningful bits are due to visas being granted to people who do zero actual investment in the country.

As to real estate, this is just the peak of a long crisis brought upon by idiotic zoning laws that favored high-value condos and villas, under pressure from a bunch of lobbyists from the building industry (we have at least two major cement lobbies here, each driven by its own influential family).

That, an emphasis on tourism and landlords’ resistance to maintaining or rebuilding existing buildings (partly due to inheritance laws, yes, but mostly driven by greed) has made it impossible to buy new flats in Lisbon even before “gentrification” from techies began.

(AirBnB is just another factor in this - a lot of those nice villas and flats are priced outside local affordances, and whoever buys them does so to rent out and drive a quick profit, since a lot of AirBnBs aren’t even taxed…)

The only thing the article gets right is that we have a completely bullshit legal and tax system that takes far too long for anyone to sort out - even natives. As an example, it is _much_ less sensible to work as a tech contractor here (unlike, say, the UK) because the fiscal load and legal protection are all stacked against you.

Even with “instant company” fast-tracking (which gives you a working legal entity in a few hours, provided you know where to apply to and how to do the paperwork), setting up a business and having official accounting requires some effort for a random Jane/Joe, especially if foreign.

But those barriers are fixable if you hire a local relocation/setup service, so real startups and savvy techies can breeze through those. The real trouble comes when you need to do contracts, pay taxes, etc. and there is a legal issue — courts here are slow, Byzantine and can take years to close a case, so brokerage (which can be fraught to navigate) is often the only option.

Anyway, the country isn’t broken because a few thousand crypto bros decided to settle in nice villas here. I know of several companies that are thriving here (hi Cloudflare!), even if there are constant paper cuts regarding bureaucracy.
Well, I wasn’t saying they should not. I was just pointing that out - kind of being in sync with what the post is pointing to.

As for not getting EU passport even if you could get that for free, there are too many very common and valid reasons to be listed here. And in fact there are other Goan acquaintances who didn’t want to. So let’s leave it at that.
Most third world countries with such bad/slow bureaucracy solve those issues with bribery. I'd hate to live someplace that both has low corruption and such high bureaucratic burdens.
