The pi-zero is in stock in most places

> So the realistic outcome is that for years now raspberry pi has been a dedicated supplier of industrial computing systems. Schools, kids and hobbyists are long forgotten.

The rp2040 is cheaper and probably better for teaching embedded electronics. (and super easy to get access too). It's documentation shits all over the ESP* tool chain, and its a nice, smooth coherently documented ecosystem.

I understand that you want the pi-4, as do I. But. The money from pi sales goes to education, you can see it in the company accounts. The documentation, and family of hardware is unparalleled anywhere (outside maybe adafruit)

The world is complex, and sometimes doesn't do what you want. Don't shit on something because you're upset that they aren't doing exactly what you want.

"While many officeholders across the country have placed their hands on books by Dr Suess, the US Constitution, copies of the Quran or other documents, this seems to be the first time someone was sworn in on a book by Sagan."

This caught my attention, wondering who got sworn in on a Dr. Suess book??

"A newly elected single mother of two wanted her kids to walk away from her swearing-in with an empowering message. So instead of placing her hand on a Bible to take her oath of office as councilwoman for St. Louis County, Kelli Dunaway chose “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” by Dr. Seuss."

I'm still not sure why the BBC went down the route of making its own platform when adapting the arduino world would have been simpler and more effective. Still its good to see that the BBC is doing computing again.
Maven isn't Java.

I've used java for over 20 years and managed to almost completely avoid it.

As with npm - I think automatic dependency management at the library level pulls in far too much of the world - most of which your code doesn't actually depend on because the one function you need in lib A, doesn't actually require lib B, and therefore lib B dependencies C&D etc etc etc.

Madness.

If you do dependency management at the source level ( using the compiler.... ) then life is generally much simpler ( reflection being the only aspect you need to manage ).

Author covers both of these comments in the article (though they don't disclose how large their "larger" slice is). (edit: actually I misread you, sorry. You're right about empty structs vs interface).

> Maps don't preserve order

The author's approach using maps preserves order in the result, they are comparing the approach to the sort solution which does not preserve order, not claiming that maps themselves preserve order.
> they are the ones that open-sourced the platform completely

While I agree with the bullshit claim, Sun was the company to open source Java. Which itself goes back to IBM blocking the community process in order to force an Apache licensed Java implementation, Sun releasing the OpenJDK made most people happy without killing its embedded cash cow.
Is that the modern Java equivalent of the single-method interface in Go? I can see its an abstract class - what do you do if you want to implement both Reader and Writer?
Show HN: SpaceX Starship Lander, 50% chance of explode
I'm of the opinion that he doesn't have to be a perfect human being; sometimes it's hard to disentangle facts from all the character assassination attempts that are thrown at him, and that's why I think we should rein in our emotions and not talk so passionately.

I also think that the enemies of free and libre open source software definitely don't want us to be able to have a civil debate, so they probably send shills to derail conversations (it's an asymmetric war, after all).

If we look back at historic movements, they weren't always led by people that were perfect by every metric (source: Behind The Bastards multi-volume episodes on Clarence Thomas, where they mention that some people that advanced equality in regards to racism were at the same time misogynistic, and didn't consider it worthwhile to advance women's rights).

As long as Stallman is a steward for the things we hold dear, I'm of the opinion that it's a good thing for us... Despite his flaws as a person, but with the condition that he get with the times and improve his behavior.

Why should we care?
Fresh peppercorns certainly retain their heat during cooking. They are occasionally used in Thai stir-fries. If you eat enough, you will get crazy effects 4-12 hours later: The palms of your hands and bottom of your feet will tingle. It's wild.

Also, chillis lose some heat with cooking. Again: From Thai cooking, fresh chillis are used sparingly as a topping, but Bird's Eye chillis can be used in a stir fry enough to kill a small child (joke, but they can use a lot).
This argument is used intensively in my country to argue that we have no reason to do anything, as our population of 5 million has no impact on the world. That's fine argument to go down if you want, but then you'll also have to concede that democracy is pointless and you shouldn't partake in it either, given how little impact you have.

As for the US military polluting too much, that's a political issue and the US citizens obligation to fix. If you don't think you should do something because someone else is worse, I'll remind you that there's almost always a bigger fish. The US military pollution itself is a mere fraction of what China's power grid is using, so why should they bother to change anything until China improves it's own power production either?
As a very rough rule of thumb, if it comes in pill form, it's probably not surgery.
Ah, during the 80s and 90s, they only allocated 89.0 to 101mhz for FM radio due to previous allocations.

When users of of those bands were moved elsewhere (to mobile phones) they expanded to the standard 88.0mhz to 108mhz range in 2000. Looks like they reserved the 1mhz "guardband" of the expanded range for these unlicensed, low power stations.

We already have a mechanism for carbon literacy - prices. Price roughly correlates to how much energy something took to produce and, by proxy, carbon required.
Where carbon literate is defined as "shamed or forced agreeing with my opinions". Sure, I care if eating a steak has a bigger carbon footprint, I'll try to reduce my driving from London to Brighton.. I might even try to think about how to produce steak with less of a carbon footprint, but fuck you I'll go on a rampage before I stop eating steak.

Progress is not about limiting consumption of energy, it's finding better sources of energy. It's not reducing consumption of material, it's exploiting materials better, and finding better materials.

Progress is not about driving shame, guilt and morals into peoples head, it's driving it out and have honest and open discussions.

Because Java is an industry standard, just like C, C++, Ada, JavaScript,... so many vendors want to provide their own take on JIT, AOT, GC implemetations, specially for niche areas like hard real time embedded deployments, where no other GC based language competes with Java, at least at the same deployment scale.

> What has a bigger carbon footprint: driving from London to Brighton or eating an eight ounce steak?

Is this really the kind of question you expect people to be asking themselves? Especially if they need to drive from London to Brighton and are really hungry?

Sure, if some kind of governmental oversight rationing your carbon output is introduced, where you must ask yourself these questions or else, then yes. But that would be such a bleak future...

Yeah but what are you _after_ though? if you want a simple host of software, then yeah a VM/docker host on a low powered x86 machine is probably what you want.

but.

As soon as you start worrying about power, or GPIO, then it starts to get a bit messy.

There is still a sweetspot for the rpi. but as soon as you start wanting to do pure software, then you might want to think again. Its very much a spectrum.

An empty interface occupies 16 bytes. Perhaps the author meant an empty struct which consumes nothing.
Was the link to show me that mmap existed, or did that doc show some reason it could not be used.
Well, you are probably right. I imagine quite a few people on here had time-consuming digital lives at some point or another.

Those are 2 very different things.

In switching browsers, you get different features, workflows and functionality, many of which you prefer on Firefox, which is why you’re using it.

With this bug fix, there is absolutely no loss or change in functionality (other than increased battery life), and yet you’re getting the benefits.

This bug is pure waste.
chownie said hormones, e.g. testosterone/estrogen, not hormone blockers. You're right, 16 would be too late for most for hormone blockers, and as such it causes immense harm when trans children are prevented from getting blockers earlier, because it causes irreversible changes to occur that strongly correlates with massively increased rates of harmful outcomes (up to and including suicides).

I get where you're coming from and agree that the bash script in question is not sentient, and a word document that just says "I AM SENTIENT" is also not sentient, and so on, and so forth, to an extent, it's easy to make candidates for sentience that do not qualify on purpose.

But;

> more akin to the program above

I note that you don't continue this sentence with a "than x" alternative candidate that would qualify for some form of non human sentience. Even the claims you do make, for example;

> certainly not believably capable of an setting its own goals be in any sense distraught, in pain, or worthy of a continued existence.

It would be possible to modify the model weights in question such that all of these things could be contributory (pain, emotional distress, "worthy of continued existence" by any objective arbitrary definition thereof, if you can test it, you can shift the model weights to pass the test). There are plugins that do this already for setting goals and long term tasks and "being unleashed" on the broader internet for example.

All that said, I think on close examination, we basically come to the same conclusion;

> prudence is advisable.

It has much better mechanical properties.
If it also causes re-allocations when the capacity is set to too low a la C++, the speedup will be more than significant.
Another perspective is that easily preventable bugs in C arise because the compiler doesn’t stop people from doing them.
> Those new fancy threads are stored on heap and need to be garbage collected. If you buy into ads and believe that you can create for free millions of threads, then, well, it is not gonna work on production.

A typical request easily creates 100's of objects that needs to be garbage collected. Adding a single thread object on top of that means absolutely nothing. And how much garbage to you think reactive frameworks create? I can you tell you it is a lot more.

The climate change movement is the worst of humanity. They hate humans, and everything about it is self-hatred spilling out in destructive ways.

CO2 is the least worrying chemical we release into the air. From environmental point of view, plants prefer higher CO2, and rising CO2 is actually likely to do more good than harm to ecosystems.

It's not out of love to nature that this climate movement is driven, it is out of hatred to other fellow humans. If the environment was really the main concern, CO2 wouldn't be viewed as a negative. If humans were the main concern, the movement wouldn't do so much harm to humans and consistently suggest depopulation. The only conclusion is that the true motive behind it is human hatred.

The same elite hatred of the common people. The hatred that they must have to live without being ashamed for their actions and lack of compassion.

The "real" money supply is effectively infinite, as money today is only backed by confidence in the banking system and nothing else.

In the UK for example, the amount of pounds in circulation has more than doubled in the last decade. This money supply grows with how much banks lend, and 80% or so of that lending is for housing i.e. speculation and investment.

All of that created money needs to go somewhere once it becomes more fungible than real estate, and that's how you got NFTs, Tesla and so on.

Now don't get me wrong, money is debt and always has been, far before the invention of symbolic currency. I'm not one of these gold standard idiots. I'm just concerned that a trust based system doesn't scale very well.

I'm firmly in the "energy from space" (just not via death ray) camp, but I acknowledge the fact that there's more than three times as many of us today comparing to 1950 and that produces additional problems.

Case in point: air conditioning in cities. One would think that with enough units and energy everyone would be comfortable.

But what about those who are outside? They get blasted with all that heat. We could build pipes or enormous fans to transfer it out, but that is also not ideal.

Ultimately where there's energy, there's also waste energy and too much of it in one place is bad, so it makes sense to use less of it for the sake of avoiding such issues.
No, they didn't.

As a language java's not that bad at this point. But it still has cultural issues.

Every java project I encounter tends to be overengineered, has tons of useless boilerplate code and ends up throwing mile-long stack traces as a result. Also, somehow maven manages to be even more unreliable than npm as a package manager. I still frequently encounter situations which seem to only get resolved by throwing away my .m2 folder.

Furthermore, since the language evolved so much in recent years, it's hard for newcomers to know what the best practices are. There's at least 6 different ways to iterate over map values. Which one should I pick?
