In the corporate world, typically, advancement is about putting yourself out there, bragging about your work, exaggerating your achievements, taking credit for others' work if you can get away with it, and just generally being a duplicitous shit while giving the facade of the opposite.

Good for you that you didn't play the game.

I didn't either, then quit, took a couple of months to recover from the burnout, and joined a smaller, newer business run by honest people where my contributions were valued and I wasn't surrounded by ruthless, unscrupulous cunts. Fuck the corporate environment, and one well-known tech giant in particular.
Yes, there are many. rpilocator showed back in July[1] that there were more than 1k units available (all rpi combined, not just rpi4). There's a lot of stock available[2].

I don't enter that much numbers tbh, so I don't need a num pad per se. The reason I got rid of it is because I switch between keyboard and mouse a lot, or use them at the same time; the extra distance was just uncomfortable for me.
A NVMe compatible M.2 M Key connector (like the Rock 5 Model B [0] has) would have been really nice. I'm starting to accumulate old but good, yet small in storage space terms NVMe's which I'm no longer needing, but which would be perfect for a Raspi. Even if the PCIe bus were an older generation and not as performant as the NVMe.

The microSD card slot is really great to have, to get up-and-running, but once it's clear which function the board will serve, being able to move over to a directly connected old NVMe would really be a benefit, also in terms of reliability. These microSD cards scare me, yet I make full use of them.

Finally having a battery backed RTC on it is really great news.

I get the impression that no single method (genetics, morphology, ecology, geography, etc.) trumps the others in taxonomy. For example, Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis interbred successfully and yet are separate species.
The ones I tried for a few days made me nauseous enough that I had to return them. But I think that's a rare reaction.
Now your glasses will be able to get covered in oil and grease!
.... somewhat ....

In the US specifically, there are protected first amendment rights.

However, plenty of people have genuine reason to be concerned. Stalkers. Witness protection. Etc. Having managed large datasets, these things come up fairly often. There's an incredible diversity of potential problems.

It's not reasonable to tell everyone who has an issue like this: "Well, don't go out into public then"
I am interested to learn from you how would that work considering there are a few million travelers using public transportation in Germany
based on engineering a product that has a power capacity of <2 watt hours, to work reliably and is able to play and stream audio correctly.

To spy on someone using these glasses would mean decent audio stack that can actually reconnect by its self, rather than having to power cycle the entire device.

Not only that, but a level of attention to detail that means that what ever spying it does can happen reliably and inside a tiny power envelope.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't be suspicious of facebook, What I'm asking is to actually interrogate their level of skill.

facebook are frankly shite at software, just use any of their supporting apps.

o Portal, great hardware, shame that it never connected reliably.

o oculus: They have the power of facebook/instagram/social graph, yet its impossible to join your mate in game. Something Steam nailed in the days of dialup

o Rayban: cannot play audio reliably, pretty tricky to download pictures.

o Advertising: fuck me, its like oracle had a baby with SAP, and force fed it MS access forms.

Yes, yes its an advertising giant. But have you tried to get any usable and accurate data out of it?

Stop building them up like they are an unstoppable genius factory. Its basically a bunch of confused cats trapped under a duvet. The difference being those cats can drive advertising clicks.
"Phlogiston"/"ether"/take-your-pick-of-fictitious-forces was a number of observed phenomena that independently hint at presence of an active force not visible by other means, and when estimates can be inferred from observations give roughly the same estimate for the existence of that force.

Except none of these things are properly said to exist.

Dark matter is and always has been "fitting gaps in our current model to observed data". It's retroactive by construction and almost the definition of begging the question. Explanations for material origins as "dark matter" have nothing to do with reality and everything to do with a lack of imagination and humility.

I could explain fire by positing and observing phlogiston by fitting the residuals of incomplete models to data and I would have just as much "evidence" to stand on as dark matter zealots.

It is extremely anti-scientific, indeed an offense to the process of science itself, to 1) ignore the basic facts above to inform the assertion of such baseless claims and 2) to assert those claims so strongly.

If CT is used to connect different parts of math and software is basically math proofs, then it makes sense programmers find CT interesting.

It let's you connect your software to math concepts.
I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Pretty sure there is no concept for swiss cuisine, yet trough small contributions like cheese and chocolate it's still kinda in people minds.

Ask HN: Should I replace my unsupported Android phone?
I own a 5+ years old low-end Android phone whose official sw support ended in 2021.
I've installed LineageOS on it but unfortunately it lost that support as well and I'm currently stuck with October 2022 security patches.

The phone still runs mostly fine for my needs, but I don't know if keeping using it is a very wise choice considering the total lack of updates.

I don't really "like" phones (generally prefer my laptop for pretty much everything) and I really hate the idea of throwing away a still functioning device.
At the same time, I can find many good deals for refurbished 2022 iPhone SEs and I think that model would last for quite a few years (considering it has an A15), so a part of me thinks that this could be a smart time to upgrade.

How much do you think I should worry, really?

You drink fizzy drinks during the day, and each time that you drink you rinse your mouth with water without brushing your teeth.

And you only brush, say, before sleep, and this has reduced your cavities to zero?

Show HN: Estim8 – No-frills planning poker built on Phoenix LiveView
Hey HN. Recently me and my team found ourselves in need of a very basic planning poker service. Rather settling on existing solution (which is often either too complex, filled with ads or costly) I took a chance of trying out Phoenix LiveView in a real-world (if basic) scenario.

Since this is my first Elixir project, source code is in need of a cleanup before being open-sourced. However the service itself is available and costs me almost nothing (shout out to fly.io for the free tier), it's essentially just $10/year for the domain.

Give it a try and let me know what you think, feedback/suggestions appreciated.

Reducing logging, logging to ram and writing to the sdcard once a day helps longevity a lot, especially with quality sd cards.

Yes, if I look at those new Intel N100 based mini PCs with a 15W TDP and their power / price / consumption ratio it would seems Intel took notice of the threat and reacted accordingly.

Especially now that the RPI kind of need a fan and you need to buy the power supply, the storage and the case.
Well the RPI has GPIO but for small home server use case nobody cares...
Except for a widening of the attack surface... this goes further than "nothing to hide".
Windows 1.0 was release 38 years ago, microsoft has changed persona at least three times since then.

Not that we shouldnt be suspicious of facebook, but we really must actually seek evidence rather than just decry them as witches. It lets other companies get away with loads simply because they are well liked.
Website is hard to read on mobile
Found the answer, saved you having to read the whole thing

The structural members in question were steel, not aluminium.

The original costings were done assuming welded joints. It was a contractor who cavilled that expense, and the change to bolted joints was done without notice to the lead engineer.

What you describe does happen, I've seen it in the field of software; but it's not the issue described in TFA.

That's just not true.

You have been able to file the compensation claim online for at least a decade. Since a few years, you can do it with two taps in the app.

There is compensation for monthly ticket holders, but it is capped at 50% of the ticket price.

X will be profitable in 2024, CEO claims in tense interview
Hahaha. Yeah I guess so. Well what it means for us is it's a priority. I guess that word harkens back to navigation on ships. I suppose nobody ever does that anymore. Hahaha
Maybe OP is a bit upset after they they prioritized commercial customers for years.
I agree that's what OP is saying, I'm saying that's not true. The "is" operator here isn't commutative, "tap water is desalinated water" is true, but "desalinated water is tap water" is not.

Let's put some numbers to it. Assume tap water is desalinated, it costs $1 to desalinate a unit of water, and $1 to deliver a unit of water to taps. Then tap water is going to cost $2 while desalinated water only costs $1. Delivery to taps isn't free, so if you just want to buy bulk desalinated water it's cheaper.
Oh, no, I can't do casual sex. I require a monogamous relationship. I get much more out of my relationship than just sex (like love, for a start) but the sex has to be there. It doesn't make sense, but that's just the way it is.
Because moore's law is a proxy for RnD for an entire industry. if you want cutting edge features, you need to pay for them.

raspberrypi is about value engineering. Making stuff fast and cheap enough so that you can do useful work, but not worry too much if you break it (on the one hand) Or give access to someone who's never had a programmable computer for a price that's cheaper than most mid range lego sets.
I bought a pair of wide fit walking shoes last time, they were no more a wide fit than any other random brand of walking shoe. I left a review to warn others that, despite 500 or so people claiming these were the best wide fit shoes they ever owned, the shoes were not a wide fit.

Sure enough comes the email asking me to remove my review, claim a refund and keep the shoes.
Comfort and looks: In recent years I have seen lots of people move from glasses to contacts or even to laser surgery. And smart glasses will necessarily be even heavier.

Battery life: The announcement says 4 hours. That puts it at "gaming laptop" levels of inconvenience. It will have to be at least day long to be that ubiquitous and improvements of that scale will take many years.

Usability: touch gestures on the frame or a smartphone app make this very non-effortless. The "think or blink in a certain way" is definitely not there yet and I doubt it will be in the next 20 years. Also, that UX would be the innovation, not the glasses it is affixed to.

Banal reason: Look at VR, 3D, google glass,... . Much hype and then nothing. Why should this be any different?
It’s hard to read on desktop, too:

There are inexpensive timers you can plug into an outlet and attach one or more devices to (power-strip style). Just choose some cycle (half an hour once per week, for example) and attach all your devices you want to keep the batteries from draining to zero.

I don’t know the best timing approach to maximize battery longevity, but draining to zero for a longer time can definitely kill a battery.
TL;DR we were programmers, not engineers.

I'd say 50/50 that I didn't know what I2C was in 2014.

Still, if we had gone and designed our own RTC daughterboard, it would have replaced the UBEC in our architecture diagram. We were buying those for $3-4 in 1000 unit quantities.

So, had you been on hand a decade ago, you might have won the argument although if I put on my board member hat, fabbing our own PCB sounds a lot scarier than buying boxes of buck converters.

It's hard to express how wild it is that they just pop right on and guarantee close to perfect voltage to each device.

What is beautiful reading this, in 2023, at my age, is the perspective
for me. I actually grew up with people of that (1945) era. In the
early 1970s most of the old folk in my village had seen at least one
world war, some both, and as a kid I talked to them. The wild eyed
wonder in the article, a mixture of hope and fear, was around then and
is around today. The things that people - young or old - say, seem
equally prophetic or naive. Plus ca change, plus cest la meme
chose. The things they saw coming had not yet happened, and much they
feared inevitable never did.
This. It may seem like wishful thinking, but the problem of desertification is so immense that we ought to approach any potential remedy with first principles and determine feasibility.

Could passive desalination be a way to bootstrap local ecosystems in arid environments to a degree where it would be self-sustaining?

I wonder if anyone here is using RPi as a main PC? Seems to be capable of most office work with a bit of multimedia on the side. My laptop is dying and I would love to get something stationary that is low-power by default yet good enough so that the internet wouldn't lag.

Mounted at the back of an LCD screen could make a nice wireless setup with the other peripherals.

A tense+mood I love is in Spanish, and it's the opposite of prophetic perfect: the future perfect (of subjunctive mood).

It's meant for hypothetical situations finished at some point in the past from the time referenced (but in the future from now). It's normally relegated to legal texts nowadays, but can be seen in contemporary literature every now and then.

"that who will have committed... will be punished..." would be an equivalent-ish construction in English.

If several independent observation gave a similar estimation for the mass of “phlogiston” or density of “ether” that would be a very significant phenomena worth studying.
That guy looks exactly like someone who would use Comic Sans in a Powerpoint presentation of a Nobel price worthy discovery.
The examples are far too obscure. They don't clarify how the tense is used, nor how utterances relate to events, because the events mentioned in the examples are so obscure (I don't recognize the names of any of the protagonists, and only one of the named prophets).

And to understand the tense, you have to resort to the examples; the main body of the article doesn't mae it at all clear.

I think it might benefit from a synthetic, kitchen-sink "example".
I don't know what all the options are, but MTS-ESP is one. If I understand it right, it's a sort of out-of-band channel where you can apply tuning tables to all the MIDI synths that use the MTS-ESP API from one place.

I think it's not sent over MIDI so it only works if everything is running on the same computer.

Our brains filter out repetitive events, so if every day follows the same routine you are going to remember less of those than if something happened on those days -- like going on holiday, or the start of the pandemic.

When you look back, you will remember those key events, but everything else will be a blur. This happens a lot as you grow older, but the pandemic is a shared collective version of this, so may be a young adult's first experience of this phenomena.

There's also an interesting thought experiment I came up with for this. Spend an hour each on the following tasks:

1. sitting on a chair watching a clock;

2. reading a book you like.

In the first task you would say that time was slow as you are aware of it passing. In the second task you would say that time flew past as you are not consciously aware of the time passing, being engrossed in the book (or other activity where you are not actively monitoring time in some way). Time passed by the same, its just the perception of it that differs.
Oxidizability varies between types of fat. Saturated fat (as the name suggests) doesn’t react as easily. The microbiome (ideally) produces butyrate and other short chained fatty acids, which are required for healthy metabolism. Those also don’t oxidize as easily.
Arne Semsrott is impressive.

He also runs Frag den Staat, a (the) platform for freedom of information requests at the German Open Knowledge Foundation.

Judging from the uptick in athlete deaths the last few years, I wouldn't say players are doing too well with whatever they're doing.

Here is a Wikipedia page with soccer players that died on the field. 2021 was a rough year which makes you think either a few deaths from what would have happened in 2020 ended up moving into 2021, or covid was really bad for everyone, even athletes.

If there's one thing worse than public transport it's the people who don't pay for it. People trying to slip through the gate behind you and then scream where's the solidarity when you don't allow them.

In Berlin I remember just two "undercover" guys getting on the subway to check tickets, here in Brussels it's a squad of at least a dozen uniformed goons with multiple attack dogs. These groups are easily spotted and there's social media channels where they leak their locations. Sometimes you'll see an entire bus empty cause someone just announced that there's checks at the next stop. Meanwhile the employees of the company just watch the whole thing laughing.

Nobody can't not afford public transport in EU, it's just that they choose to spend their money on something else and then scream poverty when they get caught.

There are rules, this isn't Vietnam!
The same argument I make against smartwatches: they are great for people who regularly wear the dumb version, but uncomfortable for people who don't.

Smartphones became ubiquous quickly because by the year 2007 almost everyone was used to having a cellphone in their pocket, smart or not. Personally, I find regular sun/glasses uncomfortable and I don't see myself ever buying smart ones.
Phlogiston was a result of multiple independent observations: combustion, rusting, any number of exothermic reactions... it was still wrong.

As a bit of an aside, I've noticed a strong correlation with misuse of the singular and plural forms of the word "phenomenon" with non-physicists who want to sound like they know what they're talking about. By your standards, I have a pretty good theory that you're not a physicist. Are you comfortable applying your flavor of analysis and rigor to this observation, too...?
