So what? Market is iper saturated, very few want to upgrade every year and the innovation is stagnating. Give us back smaller phones with less crap software inside and a bigger battery instead of cutting boards that don't fit normal pockets.
Along those lines: Does anyone know what the best way to contribute to these projects is, among those offered?

I will go to extra effort to avoid fees being imposed on the recipient of the money.
Wasn't aware of the battery chemistry involved, thanks!

Some would say it's over-regulated. In either case, there is certainly a large amount of unhealthy regulatory capture that benefits private companies.
I really think you’ve missed the point. Opening any of those apps after receiving the notification requires a network connection to then update. It’s not done via the push notification itself. I have never seen that happen in my experience. Flighty does, hence why it’s deemed clever.
Ok, I sort of get your objection, but "if the mechanism is really completely different from invisible matter", that doesn't seem to be true?

I'm not a physicist, but the explanation I'd heard was that something appears to have mass (due to patterns of gravitational objects seen through telescopes), but we can't see it.

So to be completely fair, we don't see any matter, we do see unexplained gravitational phenomena, which is optically invisible, but we do see something. Possibly, our model of gravitation is just completely wrong, and actually there are different forces which modulate the force of gravity.

Of the two, it seems dark matter is less controversial (matter that doesn't seem to reflect light) than positing new fundamental forces, as one involves a known set of theories (maybe its something like antimatter, or an alternative configuration of particles to the standard atomic ones at a quantum or particle physics level). I don't think ignoring it as a rounding error is a reasonable approach, unless you have some strong sources arguing that the physicists equipment is just bad (source, please), at least that's my impression.
Well written code is a dream to work with, pretty much period? Such that, I don't really disagree; but this general thought exercise is dominated by people talking past each other.

Don't get me wrong, I am not aiming for the entire program to be line noise. I've seen more attempts to make the command line argument parsing "clear and easy to read" such that "no mistakes could possibly creep in" than I'd care to admit, though.

Probably the best example of what I mean here, though, is summed up in the quote from https://gigamonkeys.com/book/a-few-format-recipes.html regarding FORMAT. "While FORMAT's control strings can be cryptic, at least a single FORMAT expression doesn't clutter things up too badly."
Most Cellphones are using at most 11W while under load, and will often throttle below that very quickly. While I couldn’t find exact numbers on power draw for the new Pi, the new power supply for the Pi5 is 27W. That’s a significant change in power consumption at these sizes, and would explain the recommendation for active cooling. I’ll also add that there are gaming phones that do use fans either built in or as add-ons, for active cooling for sustained loads. But that’s a niche use case/market.
Best of luck, hope it all works out!
From a bugeting perspective that is not quite how it works. Journal subscriptions come out of the libraries' budgets. I am a production editor at a uni press, and our budget is a separate item that is not affected directly by the library's problems. But we do have our own budget that we are expected to make. There is some endowment money--we have a fund specifically earmarked to help offset production expenses. We use it to subsidize some titles that we want to be able to offer at something like 'trade' prices but would otherwise be too expensive. Otherwise we are expected to cover our expenses through sales and other income streams like subrights. Heck, the university even expects us to pay for maintenance on our building.
We might just find it after 390.03 years!

If you believe that the west didn't have a hand in the outcome, I have a bridge to sell you. Plus, we don't believe in western style democracy in our tradition, so further proof of western destruction and meddling in other countries' affairs. Quite the hypocrisy when they do it themselves but then cry when another power like Russia does it (and I don't condone what is happening in Ukraine either, but the hypocrisy must be pointed out).

It's been 30 years since I was working closely with PCB designers, but back in the day, the professional CAD folks would absolutely run the autorouter first, and then use that as a starting point to tweak the layout.

I would have thought that autorouting would have improved in all that time, but from this conversation, it sounds like it has become worse. What gives?

> DXF is for mechanical CAD. You can't import a board layout or schematic that way.

There have been times I have wished that I could import DXF as footprints in Kicad because it was easier to draw complex shapes in QCad or Inkscape.
I think it could also be useful to import object placement/orientation data from a DXF file and snap to those when placing components.

For the latter use-case, I have instead written placements by hand as code in a Python script and made that output both DXF and Kicad files.
While it may be less common at this point, most Major Label recording contracts (for unproven acts) had 100% merch rights written into them throughout 80's and 90's.

There are two types of PCB designers:

1) Those who believe in library managers

2) Those delivering boards on a regular basis

The vast majority of time in PCB design is spent reading datasheets. The second largest chunk of time is spent doing the engineering schematic design and analysis. After that is PCB placement. After that is building schematic and PCB symbols. After that is actual routing.

Yes, building library symbols annoys me. It's tedious and error prone. However, it's integral to your design and you can't skimp. The sooner you accept that, that better off you will be.

(A good example is your vias underneath a QFN for power and heat transfer. If your via rules change because you have a different board house, some of your physical symbols may need to change slightly. This sucks, and no library manager is ever going to solve this.)

For the purpose of full disclosure: I worked at Elastifile, some time before and after acquisition. In terms of development of Kubernetes, I have nothing to do with it. We might have been among the early adopters, but that's about it. At my first encounter with Kubernetes I knew about it just as much as any other ops / infra programmer who'd be tasked with using it outside of Google (we actually started using it long before the acquisition).

I do, however, greatly regret that Kubernetes exists. I cherish the idea that instead of writing non-distributed applications and then trying to stitch them using the immense bloat that is Kubernetes the industry will turn to a framework that enables making applications distributed "from the inside" (like Erlang's OTP). I see Kubernetes as a "lazy" way into the future, where we waste a lot of infrastructure to cover for lack of talent and desire to learn how to do things right.

For me, Kubernetes sits in the same spot with planned obsolescence, unnecessary plastic bags and cigarette butts in the ocean. It's the comfort of today at the expense of the much greater struggle tomorrow.
TypeScript aims to make a type system that can model anything you can do in JS. Of course JS can modify its objects, at runtime, in literally any way imaginable, so the TS type system has to be Turing complete. Anything less powerful and you aren't going to be able to model what arbitrary JS code is doing.

My go to example being a function that takes in an object with a bunch of camel case parameterFields and makes them into snake case parameter_fields.

Easy peasy in TypeScript, You can say, in a generic fashion, "pass an object with camelCase field names, and return the same object but the field names are snake_case".

This is incredibly useful when adapting between different systems!

Traditional OO systems fall flat on their face attempting such feats.

You can get some rather large USB sticks these days. Amazon is awash with 928Gb units for about £10 which are probably not the best. A 256GB or 512GB from a known brand is around £30-50. There are several USB ports on a Pi and you can always boot off a SD card.

Finally, if a network is available then network boot and use NFS or whatever.

The RTC is a cool addition and long overdue. At work I have three Pi 3s with GPS hats and aerials acting as stratum 1 ntp servers. The hats have a RTC included which is handy after a reboot. My use case is "reasonably accurate and stable time" so sub milli second is good enough, I'm not too fussed about nano seconds! I want logs to correlate and desktop clocks to be reliable.

Post Money Safe Agreement Valuation Cap and Discount Template Available?

Those high-stress business situations, in which you're the one person who has to urgently make something big happen, often with uncertainty about the situation and solution, are... high-stress.

But you can play it as Astronaut Mode. Analogous to the spacecraft that will run out of air in a few hours, and you have to remain calm and sharp and fast-thinking, and in command and coordinating with others, maybe a touch of humor, to make a miracle happen. And somehow it comes together, sometimes more creatively than others. Stressful, but doable, and invigorating and rewarding.

The stress that I think kills you much harder is when when it's a year of mind-boggling pathological big-corporate dysfunction, and you just aren't allowed to make things happen. (The spacecraft has a few hours of air. Various roles in mission control are misaligned, don't know what they're doing, secretly want that mission to fail, random people getting on the radio to countermand, etc. Even Capt. "Ice" Borland will despair when they realize.)

Hence, do your own startup, or find a place you're similarly empowered to make the occasional stressful situation come together, without deadly Type BS stress.

Only in the weakest sense where one can emit other noises from their mouth instead. That criteria is an outgrowth from our drive to fulfill our own material needs, without which one does not do philosophy or anything else, which in turn are dictated by the natural world we live in. And none of that is something where you can just plug in so many other ideas or axioms and get a similar result.

Those and similar axioms were used to develop science & technology that provides our ability to even have this conversation. Whereas if you give someone a Foucault book and ask them to make similar practical use of it, perhaps they might keep warm for a night.

DXF was integral in importing things from freecad for outlines, designs, and in some cases even silkscreens.

Also, beginners shouldn't even autoroute. I can't think of a single valid reason to support it, honestly. The algorithms and compute power needed to actually autoroute something useful beyond trivial things is years away, perhaps decades or more.

This is a feature of some online catalogs where it lists adjacent books on the shelf. This is usually done by the call number, so it basically just lets you see what the previous and next call numbers are. Given that the call numbers are usually within some sort of classification scheme, this is a quick way to find related material.

For example, consider this book at the University of Maryland's library:

https://umaryland.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1594752

Scroll down to the bottom to see "Browse the Shelf". Notice that the call numbers are sequential.

The Library of Congress has a similar feature even though only librarians are able to access the stacks:

https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/searchBrowse

I don't mean to come off as dismissive of the feature. It is pretty useful! But I also value shelf access and just being able to dig into a book at a moment's notice.
Ridership numbers isn't the whole story. For example, the Empire Builder only runs one train per day each direction, which puts a serious limit on the total ridership that's even possible.

Anecdotally, I've used the Empire Builder for two trips this year, and both times every train was completely booked (on a weekday, no less). There is demand for these trains, which I suspect would be even higher if Amtrak ran faster, more frequent, and more consistently.

I don't see how this is true. $35 in 2012 is roughly $47 today. You can get a pi zero 2 kit today including the adapters, case, and PSU, for $49.95. Just the PSU, which the original didn't come with, is worth more than the $3 difference.

Besides, both the pi 3 and the pi 4 were $35 at launch, so they were actually beating inflation when they were launched.

Ok bro. I don't know why you're being so hostile. But I'll just say that I disagree that your sources persuasively back up your argument. Hell, the second one is completely irrelevant. It's just trying to come up with an excuse to complain about (non-existent) sexism, and has no good argument whatsoever. Your first source is better, but I still don't agree it substantiates your claim.

There's some good tips in here (I absolutely love hands-off bosses!). I'd also probably add that these types of bosses tend to not want to tell you what to do, but love giving advice. Generally, if you go to them and lay out your situation (asking to do so, beforehand), then ask, "what would you do in a similar situation" they'll tell you. Sometimes, it is 'what not to do' IMHO, so listen with a grain of salt and thank them. Don't judge, don't ask too many questions, and whatever you do, don't argue. Just listen and leave; then implement whatever you cooked up while you were listening to how the real world works.
