Maybe Netgate [1] for anyone using PcEngines + pfSense CE. It’s less hardware, but functionally close (for throughput) and gets you onto pfSense Plus. I know they’re not liked here, but I doubt there are going to be many (or any) sub $200 firewall appliances that I’d be willing to rely on once the PcEngines supply runs out.

I’ve configured ~150 pfSense CE setups on APU2s. It’s a sad day for small businesses. Hopefully Netgate doesn’t increase prices on that low end appliance. I’d love to be proven wrong, but it’s the only pragmatic option now for small businesses.

What is that understanding then exactly?

The languages are not widely used. Rhey play a minor role at specialised applications in the industry. Almost everyone who learns programming uses imperative languages.

So what exactly is the definition of "take off" here? Because, other than Haskell having a bit of media-echo a couple years ago, and an army of fans promising things like "the future of programming", I don't see any takeoff.

I wish x86 had an easy way to accumulate overflow flags, you could compile entire basic blocks as if they were using native integers, do a single check at the end, and if needed, roll back the computation.

The yielding part is harder. You need to have infrastructure in place to dynamically flush certain operations when unexpected yields happen.
I was presented with the option to endure a unpromising job for 8+hr a day but be around great friends (hometown), or move to a completely unknown city for a better job but not be around friends. it wasn't an easy choice, but I considered the # of hours of suffering vs joy in either scenario, i went with moving for the job. pandemic and having kids really makes me reconsider whether i made the right choice.

when I first moved out of my home town and was single, there would be stretches of days without seeing a smiling face or having a live conversation, but I have somehow gotten used to that - until a visited home when I saw my buddies smile it suddenly reminded me how sad my life was in the new city. but when I live close by to my friends, we wouldn't get together often neither, despite the intense trust we have with each other.

i think the alienation/loneliness is the result of being exposed to so much information; minute differences in a persons ability to absorb information (thus pick up new values/hobbies/interests) used to result in very little practical change in someone's day to day life. nowadays, time i spend with old friends (in whom i still place the greatest trust and care) often consist of reminiscing about the past. if I want to talk about new interest or hobbies of mine, I have to find new friends.

Ask HN: Is split keyboard worth the effort?
About 6 years ago, I switched to 60% board, without arrow keys, and CapsLock as Fn. It took some time to get used to, but eventually - I've mastered it.

I'm not a proper touch typist, so apart from using the wrong fingers for wrong keys, I've adapted weird typing technique like pressing CapsLock(Fn)+Shift with only the pinky finger. I'm not the fastest typist, or the most accurate. But having said that, I was able to get stuff done, without dreading using the computer.

Fast forward to about one month ago, I've got my self a split keyboard - the corne with 42 keys. And I must say - it's awesome. I can touch type properly due to the ortholinear layout, and I feel like it's way more comfortable.

But, I dread using the computer. I type super slow, and while its slowly improving, I still code very slow. I also switched to Colemak, which slows me even more, but this allows me to easily switch to Qwerty keyboards like my Macbook.

And so I started to question my decision. I enjoy using the split keyboard very much, but the psychological toll of being unproductive - affects me a lot. I write a lot for living - code and blogs, so any slowdown in that area affects my progress. I do plan to take a break from work while focusing more on my side projects and blogging, but I still wonder whether I should pursue the goal of mastering the split keyboard. While many people claim to have benefits, none of them actually backed by science, and in anyway I'll have to, once in a while, switch to regular keyboards (such as when using a laptop), so I wonder if it's not just another weird hobby.

What do you think?
Our keyboard was free to the end users and we made our money from OEMs giving us a few cents for each device that came with our keyboard as a default app.

We also had a pro version, but as our app was focused on the Indian market, and the Indian users were not big on paid apps back in early 2010s, there's wasn't much revenue in that either.

Who said that? It seems fabricated to me, but what do I know? Show us some evidence.
> It is, of course, actually an aircraft, like all satellites, to some degree, at least in the layman's definition of the word.

Aircraft use the surrounding air as support to counter the gravity. While lift has been measured for GOCE at different angles of attack, it never used it to stay at its altitude; the "wings" were just solar panels to feed the power-hungry engine and stabilize the attitude. At GOCE operating altitudes, the air is sparse, Knudsen number is high, and the aerodynamics differ quite a bit. It wasn't an aircraft, it was a "satelloid", an old idea that got implemented.

I used to deliver food to patients at a hospital. There was a guy there who was waiting for a lung transplant for a couple of years who I got to know. There were a couple times where he was close to getting it but it didn't work out for whatever reason until one day he was gone, and I assumed the worst.

But I saw him again. He got his transplant on a Wednesday, he said he was sitting up by Friday and on Saturday I was serving him food. Like, it wasn't solid food, it was pureed, but it was real food not the soylent type stuff in a can that I'd serve other people.

It blew my mind to know how fast a person could recover from that. He said they gave him a new heart too. Only later did I learn the truth that lung transplant recipients usually don't make it to a decade. something about the immune system damaging the transplanted lungs, tissue scarring, stuff like that. That broke my heart.

What I took away from that is that we spend so many resources just keeping people barely alive, and that once we unlock the ability to grow perfect organs that everything in our society will change.

No more dialysis units with people suffering just barely alive, unable to work, and teams of people keeping in that state. Alcoholics who fuck up their livers and lives can have a real second chance (or third...) and then we can put those resources that we spend just keeping people alive towards curing other diseases.

There's so much shit in the world and in many ways it just seems to be getting worse and when it gets me down I just have to remember that once we can grow organs everything in our society will change.

Not a very nice comment is it ?
Due to the way the configuration state machine in the Lattice iCE40 UP device operates, we can't block a warm boot-attack, even though the FPGA bitstream is stored and locked into the on-die Non-volatile configuration memory. However we can, and try to, make it really hard to successfully perform an evil maid attack.

First: all registers and logic (LUTs) will always be cleared during the reset phase of the FPGA configuration. So any secrets stored there will be secure. We store the Unique Device Secret (UDS - the primary asset) in registers. Registers that can also only be read once between power cycling. The block RAMs (EBRs) however can be cleared or retain data based on the configuration <-- these are the ones to worry about.

Right now we have to touch the FW-RAM (implemented using EBRs) with the UDS for a few tens of cycles. After it being used, it is wiped from memory. So a successful exfiltration must trigger the warm boot-reconfiguration during that window of time. In order to make this harder (i.e. more time consuming) we do a few things:

1. We randomize when the UDS is moved to the FW-RAM and thus when the window to hit is. And we should not leak any indication when that is.

2. We use ASLR to randomize where and in which order the UDS is stored in the FW-RAM.

3. We use randomized data scrambling of the contents in the FW-RAM. And yes we do fill the memory with randomized, ASLRed data first.

The randomization control values are all stored in registers, and will be lost as part of the reset phase of the attack. So an exfiltration must:

1. Hit the window of time.

2. Extract the contents of the FW-RAM.

3. Be able to distinguish the random data words that make up the UDS from the other contents of the FW-RAM.

4. Descramble the UDS words and place them in the right order.

It is not an impossible attack, but it should take a long time. And it should not scale easily from one device to all other. One could automate it of course, but the work should be the same (multiple exfiltrations) for each device.

But we still think that the attack IS possible, and it is therefore out of scope of attacks that we mitigate for this version of the TKey. The next version will hopefully be able to keep the UDS in registers only. When we have that working, the threat model will be updated to reflect that.
How is it not hate? You're specifically using a name that a person no longer wants to be used. Imagine a comparable situation, where some person got bullied their whole childhood for a name, almost leading them to commit suicide. The person legally gets their name changed to improve their quality of life, and changes their whole environment. If a new coworker now found out about the old name and started specifically calling them this name - how could you argue it's not hate speech?

This is not about some abstract strange expectations, it's literally: please don't refer to me in a way that hurts me. Is basic decency really something we have to argue about?
You can take a stroll about Moscow anytime you fancy. Search a video site for something like "прогулка по москве 2023". That simply means 'a walk around Moscow 2023.' Here's [1] one from 5 days ago. One could describe what you see in many ways, but a complete economic collapse is probably not one of them.

As for the war, look at the leaks; you're expected to. That's why they're not being given the Twitter Files treatment. There was a conscious decision to cover them and regularly emphasize points such as the predictions for Ukraine's counter offensive. Watch how the media narrative on Ukraine is (and will continue to) suddenly shift. We seem to be hitting that 'lab leak' "messaging" inflection point with Ukraine. The Washington Post is now even running an opinion piece suggesting NATO could bypass Ukraine and directly negotiate with Russia, making some substantial concessions, in an effort to try to end the war. [2]

The problem with pensions is mostly about fertility. Like most of the developed world, Russia's fertility rate is abysmal. So you have an ever-growing group of older individuals who are supposed to be supported by an ever smaller group of younger individuals. It's the reason retirement ages are going up everywhere. Russia increased theirs from 60 to 65. In the US and Norway full retirement is 67, France just bumped theirs from 62 to 64, and so on. In low fertility countries, rich and poor alike, expect retirement age to gradually approach life expectancy. A sub-replacement fertility means there is no equilibrium point. Your youth population is constantly shrinking, and trending towards zero. Of course bloody wars aren't helping on this front.

It's great but for the interaction problem. And mixed contexts.

The automated twitter accounts feel like a fire and forget. And you probably want to eavesdrop the conversation.

This could be AI territory, who's mentioning this? Web mention is a flawed system, but reaches for the right target.

I see people drifting back to Twitter from Mastodon as they crave previous circle interaction. They don't like missing conversation, and comment systems per blog can be sucky.
> A dictionary will generally beat storing values as key/value in a list, de-duplicating and linearly searching on the key. If you don't believe that

I don't believe that, although "generally" is doing heavy lifting here. It depends on the key, value, number of kv, how good the hash algo is, etc. Yeah, standard impls are pretty good nowadays. If you don't want to bother understanding the problem space fully (which like you said is fine, otherwise we'd get nowhere), use a standard tool to solve the problem.

So yes, by all means use a hash map if it makes it easier to read/reason about. Hash maps after all are a common tool for this. Just don't start with the big-O crap.
Not 100% sure what you mean.
But in this case, yeah, call me naive.

Who would even produce that? We are at a record low unemployment in the West.

There is literally no one to copy those "lookalike products" atm. and I doubt if anyone would care about that either.
And not only does the ORM itself have big performance impact, your own code will be designed around the assumptions of this particular ORM, e.g if it is easier to fetch a few row objects from different tables using the ORM and then do some comparison computations in your relatively slow interpreted language rather than writing one fast SQL JOIN the former will almost always be the solution that ends up in production.

ORMs invites you to write bad code, instead of thinking ahead of what queries I need for this specific operation, you just start writing ORM based code aimlessly and try to make it work with the tools available in your language of choice.

And the ORM entities will eventually infect every part of your project and it will almost be impossible to remove them after the fact.

Those unsafe places are also America. I don't think anyone is arguing that there aren't some places in the US that are safe, but that on the whole, it's a lot more dangerous than Europe. The fact that some Americans have the means to shield themselves from it while others don't just emphasises the inequality.

My biggest problem, though, is the fact that schools are unsafe. The fact that schools need to practice shooter drills is heartbreaking.

Do artists "steal" when they look at the old masters and figure out how to do it for themselves?

The artist's position is pretty weird, only humans should be allowed to learn from the art they see (if a computer learns anything, then all benefit should go to the human who made the art) and the prompts used to actually generate the images are entirely inconsequential to how the neural nets behave.
The ALIX/APU platform is sadly the only one on the market that:

- has at least three network interfaces

- is a relatively straightforward x86 system you can just slap a mainstream Linux distro on

- is small enough to be integrated into a custom enclosure

- is affordable.

It's been a reliable platform with only one broken serial port and one broken ethernet interface in some 500 deployed systems (flash endurance is another story, however).

> Isn't Imgur a fairly popular social media in its own right similar to Reddit?

Not really. Even the most popular posts on the imgur front page average around 1,000 upvotes (compared to 40,000 for the reddit front page with default subs) and most are only getting 300 upvotes with 20-30 comments. That's about as popular as a middle-tier subreddit, of which there are thousands. Which I guess isn't "dead" but those certainly aren't numbers that are going to get the VCs opening checkbooks.

Measuring active users for imgur is tricky because a massive proportion of those users are just using it as an image host and not "engaging" in the community. And even a lot of that engagement is just being driven by Reddit rather than coming from imgur itself.

So no, I think calling imgur a popular social media site is extremely misleading: it's an extremely popular image host that happens to have a social media site that a small community uses attached to it.
Copyright restrictions are not the only possible restrictions.

If OpenAI says you're allowed to use their service under certain conditions, but you violate the conditions, then what's your legal basis for using the service? Forget about copyright, think about breach of contract or even computer fraud and abuse.
> The current limiter is analog and dissipates a lot of heat compared to digital and also uses more passive devices, so it must be bigger.

Controlling the voltage put into the output transistor shouldn't use much power or output much heat, should it? The output transistor will heat up based on voltage loss, but it needs to be able to handle a notable amount of that even when it's not shorted.

> Digital CMOS is triggered to switch between fully on and fully off. You can't really hold it in between. If you do, you get undefined behavior.

The pins are already tri-state. The logic to output +V, or output 0V, or neither already exists. So it won't fight itself.

> The ringing can have an initial spike that fries stuff.

How can you make a transistor's output spike higher than it does with the existing digital drive method?
