this is an interesting observation. I have various explanation on why that might be the case.

on a commercial setting there is more pressure to deliver code then to review it. combine it with the lack of our benevolent dictator for life (that has been on the project the world life cycle, not just recently), there is no one with power to actually say no to changes.

language geeks are novelty seekers. they will use every feature of their language . stronger languages have more features to abuse. so on a commercial setting you will have all the features being used without much thought an architectural design that says you that no, we shouldn't do that.

that's also why I think projects with benevolent dictators for life on the open source ward don't fall these in paths even though they use languages that are stronger.

you could restrict yourself to use languages that have only one way to be used, so python as it was originally. or use a language little abstraction power. but you will suffer in other ways. as abstraction power is genuinely useful. accidental complexity has a way of getting in by expressive means or by social means.
Which system do you use that cargo failed to compile? On Linux and Mac I have never had anything fail to compile for me with it.
The ones in my office building have a physical accessibility intercom button that connects to the doorman downstairs, who can call/control an elevator.

The touchscreen systems are nice in buildings with banks of multiple elevators - they let the system optimize which floors each car will stop at for maximum throughput. I can’t see the point of one in a building with just a single elevator.

If you believe the most efficient listed numbers from Wikipedia, it's roughly 50kWh/1kg of hydrogen to produce. That excludes any cost to transport, store, etc.

The Toyota mirai gets something like 60mi per 1kg of hydrogen fuel. Which, translated, gives you an efficiency of roughly 800Wh/mi. Excluding transport and storage costs. A modern EV gets roughly 250Wh/mi, and incurs no storage costs or transport costs.

How exactly is that efficient compared to EVs?
Except of course the bit that these problems are overblown. But the people pushing these as problems are exactly the ones that stand to benefit from trying to grab power. There is a substantial amount of money pumped into the destabilization of the Dutch political order, a massive powershift is expected and the direction we are headed in is the wrong one by any objective measure. To a large extent this anti-EU, anti-climate and anti-press sentiment originates from both the very wealthy agricultural lobby in NL as well as the right wing. The interesting part is that you'll find the parties that would like to deport foreigners fomenting civil unrest and these are now in bed with the farming lobby.

It's with some anxiety that I'm looking at the next six months here, it could well go the way of Italy, or possibly much worse (think 'Orban' or something like that).

I know for a fact that, possibly due to a bug, or intentionally, they are not encoded to the accuracy that they could be, and using Apple's own EXIF tools will not let you encode them at full accuracy. I know this as I had to write a tool to re-encode the values into the EXIF.
Wow. Evolution is pretty amazing.
> The US for example cares and are ashamed of the war crimes you speak of.

Maybe in words, but not really in deeds/actions.

The US quite literally goes out of it's way to suppress any info about war misdeeds. Which of course directly enables those misdeeds and similar to continue.

Along those lines, the Guantanamo Bay facility is still operating to this day. All that seemed to do was enable torture and related activities (crimes?) in some weird finger pointing / blame shifting exercise.
Yeah to be honest it's kind of a red flag given the context to see a random term misappropriated in such a way
Makes me curious what their revenue trends look like. From the outside, it feels like many people in the space are using the Arduino IDE, but with MCUs they bought from some other vendor.
It's true but it's really hard to find non smart devices though.

Sometimes you can help it a bit. For example my ring cameras, I've opened them up and removed the microphones. Because they're so sensitive I could literally hear myself talking in the next room.

Other devices I have put on a vlan / SSID without internet access, they can only access my home assistant.

But these things are not for everyone of course. And some techniques bypass it. For example Amazon's sidewalk wifi can offer devices wifi even if you deny it!

It does create moats where non existed before. I do think the government over-estimates how well and up to date it keeps its standards. I don't know if it's still true, but 8 years ago (2015), you had to submit documentation to the FDA on CDROM. No. You couldn't just upload it.

By specifically calling out prayer the order does ban prayer...

In that case the woman was arrested for silently praying by herself. Her prayer was to stop the abortion clinic, but it was silent and in her own head.

I understand that the intent of the law is to ban prayer near an abortion clinic to stop harassment, but they have banned prayer.

(I support everything else in that order, I’m pro choice. I just don’t think we should ban prayer)
My FB username is not common, my email is not common.

I run an FB page with ~60k followers.

Since about a month now, I'm getting these password reset emails in batches.. some day none, other days 10-20.
Way back when, I got a Yahoo email like <HN_username>@yahoo.com. My last name isn’t unique, but it’s not exactly Smith. It’s amazing how many other people have mistyped it. To this day, I still get emails meant for other people.

I keep that old account for 2 purposes:

1. It amuses me. I log in and clear it out once a year or so.

2. At various times I’ve had coworkers who didn’t believe it was common for people to enter someone else’s email address when registering for a sensitive system. When that happens, I’ve taken them to my old Yahoo webmail. Oh look, another kstrauser’s loan paperwork!

I can only imagine what that’d be like if it were at Gmail and not Yahoo.

Sounds to me like another nail in the coffin for Arduino as a useful tool for hobbyists.

That said I stopped buying Arduinos years ago and started buying super low cost ESPs from China and I think most other people did too so I guess it's not going to be a huge blow

Share Time Across Timezones
A problem I've often encountered when working in a remote team is figuring out the timezones over spoken text (this isn't a problem when you have shared calendar)

And I built this small simple thing to share the time and timezone within URL so that receiver will see the time in their own timezone.

It was incredibly obvious from your first post that the person lambasting others for "reacting emotionally" was likely a host who might feel just a bit threatened by this news and buries their head in the sand when one of their sources of income pisses off others. "I'd rather keep getting mine, consequences to others be damned, fuck you very much."

Our company owns a one letter domain (e.g. "x.tld"), that follows a quite common sequence. A few months ago we've enabled receiving e-mails for all local parts on that domain.

We've received hundreds of notification mails, newsletter subscriptions, alerts (from internal systems disclosing details about infrastructure of giant corporations), etc.

It was quite fun, but became annoying quickly. We've then reduced reception to the common hostmaster@, ... mailboxes and for all other mailboxes we are now rejecting the mails with a nice reminder message in our Sieve filters.

I know it's not the article topic but I want to talk about mobile Zen4.

Mobile Zen4 is obviously powering the ASUS ROG Ally and other handheld Steam Deck clones, and I'm very excited about it, but it's almost impossible to get laptops with it installed! The ones I found also have a discrete GPU which defeats the point. Having a low power draw, thin and light laptop that can also run fairly recent AAA games - amazing!

In the end I got tired of waiting for a Thinkpad T14s with Zen4 and got the previous generation, which is about 20% slower but still pretty good.
Well, way back then, the Arduino IDE was precisely the game changer that made a lot of hobbyists and average people get into embedded systems without much friction or EE background, and not the board based on an Atmega MCU that anyone else could make.

Many eons ago before the Arduino came out, I used to have EE labs in university based on the same Atmega chip but using a commercial IDE-compiler, and boy was that a giant PITA as a young buck, having to read dozens of datasheet pages, calculate by hand all the register values just to get a bloody 1 ms PWM timer output on a pin, which never worked the first time and needed an oscilloscope to debug.

"Oh, you did everything right, but forgot to flip the bit of the correct pin of the output port in the right registry, have fun debugging it for the next 3 hours while you pull your hair out."

And we used "modern" C, not AVR assembly (which is still nice and quite simple to understand once you get the hang of it, don't get me wrong). Sure, as an EE, that was a mandatory right of passage to prep you for a job in the industry, but not something average people would want to do as a hobby.

The fact that you can do that with 2 simple lines of code, from an API, from a well documented library, that's well tested and guaranteed to work, without an expensive commercial toolchain and HW debugger, was the game changer for the hobbyist market.

But this move feels a bit late in the game for them. They should have done this nearly 10 years ago, but now it feels like they squandered their early lead and became sort of irelevant amongst the sea of RPi, ESP32, STM32 with their own easy to use toolchains and libraries.

> if raw computational performance is high on your list of needs it's got some nontrivial disadvantages.

That's what Rustler, Zigler, and Numerical Elixir (Nx) solve. It doesn't mitigate issues around deep copies when passing messages between processes, but the absence of shared memory means that race conditions aren't a problem to worry about, and the memory model is such that garbage collection is never going to be a performance issue even if you scale up to millions of processes per node. It also means you can trivially scale horizontally across multiple nodes because your code doesn't (more accurately can't) depend on sharing memory.

Same, got me a free month of Disney+ once.
I feel like they pretty much have to make it backwards compatible. They just released a new Zelda game which is like a once-every-7-years event and there's no way they're gonna make people re-buy the game a year after launch on the new console, especially when they already made it the most expensive single price for a Switch game. Plus they have a fairly big Mario release coming up next month (Super Mario Bros Wonder), which again, they're not gonna make people re-buy within a year of release.

It doesn't make sense to be launching these big titles a year before the new console if you only have a year to buy/play them before they sell you a new console that can't play it. Nintendo historically hasn't worked like that.

My guess is it'll be backwards compatible like the jump from DS to 3DS, where the cartridge slot fits the last gen system's games and has the same contacts, but the new gen cartridges are shaped with some extra protrusion of plastic that stops you from shoving them into the last gen system.

No. He's describing tyranny of the mob. Which is worse than an autocracy. At least in an autocracy you know you are being fed a pile of bullshit.

No it's not. It's called government propaganda.

No. It's to constrain artists to agenda.

What you are really saying is I agree with the government propaganda and hence support it. That's all you are saying.

In a democracy, government should be apolitical. People like you prove that democracy is actually a bad idea. It's funny how the foundation of modern democracy ( US ) was created on distrust of government and elites, but the 'democracies' that worship british royalties was founded on slavish worship of authority.
"Old people are more important than young people." - t. Gerontocracy.
You can see them doing this with the WiiU lineup, which it turns out in hindsight had a lot of good games for it. But this works for them precisely because "nobody" bought those games, and there was still a good amount of time between rereleases.

I don't think Nintendo is dim enough to release a Switch 2 next year and try to re-release Breath of the Wild for it.

In fact I'll go out on a limb and suggest that based on previous console lifecycles, and the way the 1st party support tends to trail off towards the end of the cycle so they can dev on the new console so it can have a release line up, and the way that (current) Switch releases are powering through like there isn't a new console coming out in a year, that we're looking at a very high probability of a 100% backwards compatible console here. Otherwise I think they'd be holding more of this stuff back for the next release.

With the way consoles work nowadays it'd be pretty easy for them to release a new engine for BotW/TotK for a Switch 2 that just comes down as a patch like any other when you plug the cartridge in. And you hardly even need a new engine just to push out a higher res display, as emulators prove.
Materialize and RisingWave have customers in production
I have to imagine the Steam Deck playing in the same price bracket (the refurb base model was going for $320), Nintendo _may_ feel the pressure to support backwards compatibility. Why buy a new device and Breath of the Wild over again when you could just get a Deck and play a large % of ever PC game to have ever existed?

Nintendo is also in a different position this time around, as the WiiU, DS, 3DS, etc had such different hardware that remaking a game for the Switch was essentially a necessity, whereas I expect the Switch 2 to be a Switch with faster hardware.
cool. alas, i've got all .zip domains blocked because the vast majority of them are used by malware people trying to trick someone into "downloading a zip file"

(this was so predictable)
How are they going to make money from it though?
I predict they'll play it safe; same form factor (but iterated on, like the oled model), backwards compatible, just faster and/or better battery life. There's few things they NEED to improve on the device.

I hope it'll be like the PS4 Pro though (or cross-generation PS/xbox games), where developers are not allowed to make their game "switch 2 only". It didn't work at all for their "New Nintendo 2/3DS" line, only a small handful of games ended up being made or optimized for the improved hardware (https://www.reddit.com/r/3DS/wiki/exclusives/)
Yeah I was just thinking that there should be a service that's like aol, with all the buttons and features just together. Like Google basically has it but it's not all really tied together. The reality is that computing simply used to be a lot cooler.
I've never heard of such a thing. For me, it's always been a choice of funds (and maybe company stock) held at a brokerage that allows me to reallocate investments as I wish.

I have to believe that if a company is "managing" 401k investments, it's just an abstraction on top of some agreed-to investment strategy at the brokerage.
Oh :-(

Every time a cool little company gets VC funding, you know that the free and opensource projects will dry up, and before long they'll be making premium high end products and suing anyone who tries to compete.

You should consider explanations within the context of which they are being given. The explanation above is sufficient for many cases, and it is a sufficient foundation for building further understanding.

It's not helpful to tell someone their definition is wrong because it doesn't cover all possibilities. You shouldn't ask a 6-year old to define numbers and tell them they're wrong when they describe the integers. This would just bring confusion and anger to the child and makes you look like an arse. You might instead tell them it's a good explanation, but there are some numbers, like one half, that it doesn't include. So maybe we can make the description a bit bigger and include the rationals as well. This makes the child feel good because they were right about something, and also learned something and you feel good because you helped them learn. The same is true of adults.
It's done by another team. It's use is generally comparable to NPM and pip. In fact we use pip, but we pull from our servers instead of public.

A lot of the scanning is automated and takes care of problems I've actually run into, like virus laden files. if something is not available, we don't use it. Because the cost of violating that policy is worse than having to find another solution.

Zelda: BOTW and TOTK are both ridiculous achievements on the Switch hardware. 30fps and usually no framedrops even with the huge field of view, physics engine, volumetric clouds, wind and rain modelling and so on. While obviously a higher framerate or better LoD would be nice, they've made the game playable enough on Switch 1 that I'm not that bothered, and that's an amazing achievement.
