Nice. The software and documentation provided on this site isn't flashy or modern, so I see all the less reason for the website to be so.
It's been so frustrating that espressif offerings are basically the only wifi mcu options. Yes, there are a handful of other options, but they all fall short in one or more of cost|sdk|availability.

If you're wondering why I need an espressif alternative so badly - many companies won't rely on Chinese companies for components, especially if they're not easily interchangeable. There's always the concern of a Chinese backdoor (I prefer my backdoors to be NSA backdoors), and the US is always just on the cusp of a trade war with China.

Edit: typos
State legislators spend relatively little time campaigning.

From anecdotal experience most people don’t even know who they are or what they do.
I am an end-user, but I pay a lot of attention to rendering methods and hinting so I consider myself educated on the subject.

Saying OTF is tricky.. because OTF file format can be postscript outlines OR truetype outlines and you don't know what is inside until you check.

Sticking to what the designer intended is not always the right approach because in the end, it's about the end-user experience. If your output medium is a printing press, absolutely, every time what the designer intended. If your medium is a screen then the resolution and how the OS works matters. Using IBM Plex Sans on a standard definition screen as an example, the unhinted OTF will end up at some sizes squishing the letters into the wrong shapes and render lighter while the TTF will render the shapes better due to better grid fitting and darker. Basically and unfortunately, you have to test it for every environment and not assume that a given file is the best viewing experience.

I dislike AA in general as a blurry mess (and disable it on my desktop, which yes, does mean I have to hand-pick fonts that were hinted for no-AA), and fail to understand why as more and more high-DPI screens are used that AA is still being used seems redundant and counter-intuitive.
> The rightmost lane is somewhat similar. You really shouldnt travel in it. It's for getting on and off the road. If you are in it you're making it harder for other to merge on/off the road. But again you're not going to get a ticket for pulling into that right lane and staying as long as you'd like.

I'm curious as to where this is the law. It was not in the state where I learned to drive.
I mean this is obviously false. The heavier a vehicle is, the slower it needs to be going to cause a certain amount of damage, up to and including death. How many pedestrians are hit every year? If you can lower the average weight of vehicles on the road you're directly saving lives.
Pedestrian deaths aren't evenly distributed, they concentrate among the elderly, disabled, and impoverished.

Our covid response forced us to make explicit some parts of our social agreement that were not usually stated outright before. Covid deaths also concentrated among exactly those groups.

We established outright that harms to these groups are an acceptable cost for convenience to the rest. It's not a large leap for people to apply this to their driving behavior, even unconsciously.

There is also the fact that covid isn't the only thing that happened in 2020. Since that summer's protests the police in my city have been on open but unacknowledged soft strike. They only take actions that are personally fulfilling to them individually, which certainly isn't traffic enforcement.
No, doing everything by hand in the console, which has been super annoying. But don't want to spend time setting up terraform right now.
Nice catch! I assumed it was a Netflix-style subscription, not a Humble Bundle one. That could significantly damper adoption among Quest owners.
> There's no reason for a sedan to be heavier than 3000 lbs.

Because batteries are heavy. Or do you mean you want sedans to stay fossil-fuel powered forever?

> There's no reason 1 1/2 ton pickups should be bigger than a 1994 Ford F150.

Did that have a back seat big enough for adults to sit in? If not, then there's your reason.
Probably because Canonical does promise to make their software freely available to the whole world.
It'd be nice if there were a Linux laptop option that didn't sound like a jet engine taking off every time you do anything serious with it.

You just wanted to get in a swipe at Obama, which is fine, he screwed up here.
The link you provided links to a series of pages about (mostly) Python, some SQL and a touch of scheme. Interestingly, it doesn't talk about using scheme as a programming language as much as using python to create interpreters which interpret a small subset of scheme.

I think most people would look at that corpus and say "that's a Python text."
I think this depends on how the ICs are connected. If it's running something like I2C between them, then your data transfer rates will be too low and you'll be quite limited in some of the applications.
Move out of the city, or put a blind over your window

Being able to see other people's windows from your windows is an inescapable consequence of living in a city. If that's not acceptable to you, then you buy an acreage in the woods somewhere. It's not a reasonable thing to be protesting a development approval over.
They've essentially killed Redash, which was one of the best open-source dashboard/data visualization tools. They had promised to keep it open-source and improve upon it (https://web.archive.org/web/20211019150919/https://blog.reda...).

However, a year later, their SaaS has been discontinued. The open-source repository is now stagnant, with hundreds of unresolved merge requests. On a positive note, they recently shared the repository with some other open-source maintainers, so there's hope that Redash will be reborn.

I think the vast majority of those have been replaced already.
> What will be prioritized when there aren't enough workers for all the current positions?

I'll give you the politically incorrect answer.

Until recently, a large population of old people oppressing a slighter smaller population of young people (by majoritarian voting patterns) meant violence.

Humans have eliminated the 3 main uncertainties that ensured some level of demand-supply elasticity : unprotected sex, starvation and violence.

So now, instead of society promptly reacting to a disgruntled workforce, we instead get slow but perpetual decline because the workforce cannot retaliate in any real manner. They can't vote out old people. They can't enforce violence. In any other world, bored-young-people would be having tons of unprotected sex and brute force replacing the old population. But, contraception allows people to engage in their most primal instinct (sex) without the resulting rise in work force.

Now, I am a 100% not suggesting that we need a return to older times. But, we need an awareness that the removal of these avenues means that history might not repeat itself and nature might not heal on its own.... because we have conquered nature.
I always think the same thing about federal gun restrictions in the US. I can't imagine someone getting shot and thinking "I'm so glad he didn't shoot me with a barrel shorter than 16 inches!!!"
There are two numbers on the sticker for fuel efficiency. In-town and highway.

For in-town weight matters greatly (both because you essentially throw away energy every time you break, and because rolling-resistance matters more at low speed).

For highway, up until 2008 the maximum speed tested was 55, which disadvantages heavy-vehicles, as rolling resistance is a higher component of energy used at lower speeds (as a simple approximation, rolling-resistance is linear, and air-resistance is quadratic).
Why? Are you pro authoritarian censoring of ideas that you don’t like?
I'd bet with GPT-XX based code generation this might UML sequence diagrams may make a resurgence. its at least good to run some kind of automated 'design lint' to run even if just to ensure a new feature or commit has not broken the high level assumptions/state machine. The codebase I work in I definitely could use something like this regularly.

It’s not the investor but about the loan. Commercial loans IIRC tie default rates to the last rent charged.

So long as the payment can be made at all, it doesn’t seem like people look that hard if the space is vacant or not. Usually only the ground floor is retail.
No, it won't unless the customer is also using upstream stuff elsewhere. But it will close an avenue of new customer acquisition. Can't say how often, but it happened that someone needed support for an upstream software (which is a big no-no) and ended up buying a downstream license.
Yep, it must be the massive increase in jaywalking causing this.
robots.txt isn’t honoured only by bad bots and scrapers, so I agree with you that this nginx configuration is pretty useless and doesn’t even solve the problem on the other side!
Reddit makes it impossible to delete PII, refuses to do it itself violating GDPR [video]
Reddit refuses to delete your comments and posts if you request account deletion telling you to do it yourself.

If you delete comments/posts they come back after a while.

Since comments/posts may include personally identifiable information that's a GDPR/CCPA violation. Not just a dick move this time, but also illegal.
Genuine question (I'm not intimately familiar with all the terms of the GPL) -- does the GPL require you to release the source code to anyone and everyone (even non-customers)?
It looks like they have to include a logic level shifter to talk to the ESP32, so they could use something similar for the IO.

This is central to what we do. I'd be happy to give you a demo.
How it is done: (1) kubernetes and some essential tools for certificate and ingress management are setup. (2) connect github or gitlab repos and you get a push to deploy experience as the CI gets setup

I assume you are already containerized, so there is not much to be done. There is a one time setup of a kubernetes cluster (EKS) that aws takes about 25mins for.

This will give you a rolling zero down-time deploy out of the box along with a few other goodies. You can checkout a quick demo here (~4m) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DZsYXxA2tQ

But what is the retail sq ft per capita in urban cores? In the vast endless car-required suburbia that is American, that big box stores dominate, and pull up the average isn't surprising. The easiest way to visualize an acre is a Best Buy, after all. But how about if you only look at stores in Manhattan? What's the per capita SQ ft there?
The thread was specifically about a road trip. I can't imagine anyone taking a road trip entirely in town.

There’s a direct logical connection. The mechanism is easily abused. Mark everything as confidential and what happens? The headline becomes true. Why? Because criticism will necessarily require leaking confidential information.

This particular headline makes an honest appeal to your emotions.
No, I voted for Obama.

Deducting losses doesn't make losses profitable, it just eases the sting of the loss a little bit.

If you lose $100, and you get to deduct that $100 loss, then that saves you the taxes on $100, but unless the marginal tax rate is somehow greater than 100% then you have still lost money.

This is neat, I have wondered if anything of this nature existed, in the past, as a child of the 80s/90s attempting to master the art of the perfect mixtape… 30 minutes a side down to the second the tape runs out, would be a win.

But for today’s music, shortening the 2010s/2020 already shorter lengths would mean a song might not be more than a minute in length. On average, full unedited tracks today end up being a bit shorter than they used to be, solely due to the economics of streaming. Rather than paying for the content second by second, it is done by paying per track play. The result is a lot of 2 minute tracks, which were produced with the “verse” parts getting jammed together into the “chorus” with no break in vocals, which also uses pitch adjustments, “the “bridge” is an afterthought that is terrible, or more recently, nonexistent……… Instrumental solo? Anyone? Bueller?

Music is no longer anticipated, budgeted for, and purchased on launch day with great fanfare. We have grown accustomed to the idea that we should have everything available at our fingertips, and as a consequence of this we get exactly what we pay for.
As an aside: argonaut sets everything up using terraform (everything is autogenerated from templates), though the tf code itself is not yet exposed to users. We're working on that functionality soon.
I had meant 'Turing'.
not only that, but the height of the vehicle front also matters A LOT.

A SUV is perfect for killing pedestrians, it has the perfect triple combo:

* Weight
* raised front to perfectly shatter a chest
* low visibility for the perfect "i didn't saw him" excuse.
I have seen a car slow down and reverse in one of the inner lanes, because they missed the exit. This was at night in Milano. There was almost no traffic, we passed them from the innermost lane, but there were 2 more lanes to them to the right, all empty.

Some people are just really bad at this :/
Or they assume you're an idiot and zip around in the other lane nearly killing the pedestrian

Which would seem to argue in favor of what I understood to be the article's point, which is why I'm curious to know what he's pointing at.
Espressif being a Chinese company, sure, but how many components from an arbitrary NATO-friendly country corp but are exclusively manufactured in China anyway and get the same treatment?
Once a car is light and small(ish) the good MPG will follow. My 1988 Volvo
240 got 30mpg on a recent road trip and that's with it needing a tune up.

The 240 was a good car for its time, but its time was the late 70s. A 2023 Camry hybrid is rated at 53 MPG highway and is much safer for everyone involved. When the 240 was sold you could still buy a new car where you were unlikely to survive a 35 mph head on crash into a wall (e.g. crashing into something roughly the same weight).

Meanwhile Euro NCAP rates cars based on the risk to pedestrians (and NHTSA has proposed following suit). A 240 is going to be far less forgiving.
>Seems like this person is a front for moneyed interests.

Of course, this is common practice. They need someone with legal standing to challenge it, so law firms will seek out an ideal plaintiff. But sometimes moneyed interests do align with the public good. This is very obviously an unconstitutional law that needs to be struck down.
As a startup, I very much do not want to innovate or be in any way "creative" when implementing functionality that isn't my company's core value prop for customers. So for something like AuthZ I want to be as conforming as possible to what "everyone else" is doing, and I want to do that as quickly and seamlessly as I can, so when I say "innovation" here, I'm saying I don't want to build a new library or write a new technology to do AuthN/Z that isn't well-trod ground.

What I've experienced however, is that this isn't as easy as I expected. The "middle ground" here is between "inventing form whole cloth a bespoke library to solve AuthZ" and "do absolutely nothing whatsoever new". Using CASL in my infra's middleware to solve AuthN seems to be working for me. I can write the rules in a way CASL understands, and I was able to quickly implement the middleware without having to do anything crazy.

As for "JWT structure being inconsistent" I mean to say that often I'm asked to "connect" many different providers, e.g. Google social sign-in, Okta, Auth0, etc., all of whom have their own way of structuring their JWT payloads (beyond the standard that is), and using Cognito as an intermediary has been helpful to avoid all of that, as again, I'm trying to do as little as possible myself.

The Ethernet featherwing was tricky to get working in isolation, I can’t remmeber exactly what is was, but I recall there being some workaround in their Device OS firmware that is (or at least at the time was) open source.

The mesh network stuff was cool but suffered from a strange internal product decisions that made it useless for most applications.

First off, it was not created with a specific customer in mind. Most customers using IoT platforms want cellular connectivity, to allow for zero-setup on the customer or installer-side, and the ability to push OTA firmware updates. Mesh also used a Thread which was not super useful at the time. The vision was that you would be able to have a local network with one or more redundant gateways that ingress and egress of data through a few links.

This created another problem: monetization. In the gen 2 era of Particle where most customers with significant spend connected via cell network, Particle were able to charge a high margin rate and get considerable revenue as a result of their mvno business. This promise of a mesh network, where you could potentially reduce the number of internet connected devices to 10% of your original allocation, required rethinking of pricing as to capitalize on the devices that were connected to the mesh network but not acting as a gateway. What they did next destroyed any chance at widespread adoption. They created the most convoluted pricing systems where they were directly charging fees for a mesh connected device to be connected at all, as well as per network. Particle, whose OTA product famously worked extremely well coupled with a generous free tier (for device management) and that was easy to understand, decided to go generally available with a crippled mesh product, no customers for it, and extremely hard-to-understand pricing. Developers originally flocked to them because they could be certain of the service and features of each tier and that it just worked very well, but they destroyed trust with developers who were the genesis of most of their inbound leads.

What they should have done was to launch the products with a mesh communication library and charged for the gateways, using one pricing model if it was a stand-alone device and an upgraded one that would allow it to route mesh traffic through the internet. Oh, they also should have fucking gone with LoRa just like everyone was asking because 2.4Ghz at its tiny power is just outside of range of anything actually useful for the customers who actually wanted mesh networks

There is space another mesh product that is sanely designed and priced reasonably. I can’t see it coming from Particle, however. If anyone wants to start this, hit me up - my contact info is in my profile.
Wow, 0HQK has a very interesting chart. I wonder what happened in November 2021.
the differencing between breaking a leg and dying are kinda big... Weight and frontal height are deciding factors on that.
Not my observation sadly. We've got some excellent 10+ years old tech -- Golang, Rust, Elixir -- yet a lot of companies out there holds on to C#, PHP and Java with an death grip.

And I've worked with all of these. The newer stuff is better in every way except penetration (which is held back by bias and misguided evaluations of the word "safe").
Yeah so let’s not pretend we don’t know whose interests are really being represented here.
People are more worried about their downtowns for reasons like civic pride and concern for the other businesses there, but suburban office parks were in serious decline even before the pandemic. They’re just out of the way, so no one cares if they’re vacant.

Yes, it's a lot like an addiction. Perhaps literally.

This also gets talked about in climbing quite a bit -- people who find their path out of alcoholism or other drug use and into climbing. I'll emphasize that this is now about climbing in general, not free soloing per se.

Climbing (especially with protection) is healthier than drug addiction, in some sense. But it's displacing one addiction with another. Or introducing addiction as a coping mechanism, in the case where the pain doesn't originate from another pre-existing addiction.

But sometimes cope is healthier than the alternative, and coping can play an important role in "getting you through to the other side". As long as you do actually make it through, of course, both in terms of not dying and in terms of getting to a healthier place where you don't need the coping mechanism.
