How far away (as the crow flies) is the cabin? Check out APRS. I use it to message me wife when I'm backpacking. I regularly see messages from 200 miles away on my hand held, without Internet. I'm in Montana, so mountain top repeaters help. I don't know how is without them.

There is someone near me that uses APRS to beacon out the state of their solar/batteries at a remote cabin.

You’re right, the shipping itself is no slower or faster than with prime, especially since they essentially have their own shipping company now, everything is technically same day shipping now, the difference is how long until it ships. The free shipping (non prime) usually just sits pending for several days and then all of a sudden ships and arrives in about a day. So prime is essentially just priority order picking.

Although, prime anymore is so random, I sometimes get it same day, sometimes next day q and sometimes it’s 3-4 days for no good reason. Guaranteed same day now costs an extra $3 and ”overnight” (which means it arrives before 9am) is $2 extra and now this week they started charging $3 for Amazon key garage delivery unless it’s your prime day which is only once per week. Meanwhile the price goes up every 6 months and prime video is the most ad-riddled of any streaming service and half the content promoted for you is actually an extra cost. I’m not really sure what the point of paying for prime is anymore.

Multi-chamber elastic pneumatic actuators are known. Festo has a long history in this area. Here's their mobile robot with a pneumatic hand.[1] They have ornithopters, fish, and other biologically-inspired forms. These are demos. Their business is selling pneumatic actuators.

They've advanced this technology considerably. It's been known for a long time that a good way to do actuators with variable compliance was with pneumatic actuators driven from both sides through proportional valves near the actuator. Festo has been able to do this with excellent non-clunky mechanical engineering.

To do this sort of thing, you need a serious mechanical design and build facility staffed by people who know how to build stuff. Universities cannot do this with grad students.

That's horrible to hear. Reminds me of Stephen King. From Wikipedia:

>Stephen King discusses Cujo in On Writing, referring to it as a novel he "barely remembers writing at all." King wrote the book during the height of his struggle with alcohol addiction. King goes on to say he likes the book and wishes he could remember enjoying the good parts as he put them on the page.

I heard something about this too, though I omitted it for the sake of brevity. Don't know the specifics, but yes I think it's also a drug precursor.

If you are transmitting an encrypted signal and I am not the recipient, I just see it as noise. There's no way for me to know its not noise. Since I have no insight into the transmission other than it's noise I don't have any idea when I get to use the shared medium you decided you wanted to monopolize.

IIRC there's more bandwidth in just the 2.4GHz ISM band than all of the ham bands combined. If you want to blast noise (what your encrypted signal appears as) use ISM bands. Don't blast noise on ham bands.

I wish there were better low power ECC options. I don't think the N100 supports ECC RAM, and I can't find any ARM ECC boards aside from industrial stuff. Small AMD boards are hit or miss with no guaranteed ECC comparability either.

No.

There may be some niche applications and specific businesses which use APL, but I don't think there are any fields where it's commonly used. As you've noticed, the Wikipedia article is really just cherry-picking specific instances where it has been used, some of which are 30+ years old.

I'm not sure if the idea[1,2] is stupid, or brilliant... and I'm not arrogant enough to assume its brilliant. I've been nerd sniped by it though, since the 1980s.

The basics are simple enough, imagine an FPGA without any routing hardware, just a sea of 4 bit in, 4 bit out Look Up Tables (LUTs). To prevent race conditions, I'd latch the outputs of the cells, and clock then in 2 alternative phases.

This makes the thing a horrible FPGA, because latency is the one thing they fight hard to overcome, but on the other hand, it makes it very easy to reason about, and immune to race conditions, timing issues, etc. The gain is that you get almost trivial routing, and essentially all of the transistors devoted to compute.

How A San Francisco Man Got His Stolen Car Back
A lot of devs really don’t want to learn anything but the very most popular languages. A lot of managers don’t even understand that what language they use makes a difference in terms of their product or their productivity—they optimize for whatever stack they can most easily the hire the cheapest devs for.

That leads to the market responding much more slowly to newer options, even when they have clear advantages. Smaller startups and indie hackers don’t have the same switching costs though, so you’ll see more of them making a bet on a less popular technology they believe has a productivity edge for their use case.

It might be correct, it might not; either way I would find this more convincing if there were even one supporting argument behind these assertions. I certainly don't believe them as presented here.
I just wish they had a Mac Binary for Apple Silicon - or source I could compile myself.
For those not in embedded: the SO (not S0) pin is commonly called MISO (Master In Slave Out) in a SPI bus; it is the pin on which the SPI device (SPI flash) sends data to the controller (ethernet bridge). The CS (Chip Select) pin of the device, on the other hand, is supposed to be held at logic low during an entire SPI transaction. Tying a pin that should transition between high and low to a pin that should stay low would likely screw up the communication and make the ethernet bridge think a SPI flash is not there.

I thought the art of making wildly inconvenient UX assumptions on behalf of users had largely stayed in software, eg. websites doing “copied to clipboard!” completely unprovoked overwriting whatever you have kept in system clipboard. A few years ago I had a Realtek wifi adapter that would sometimes do this too on Windows though at least it didn’t try to hide the network device. It’s hilarious that this design trend has even found its way into silicon, though I suspect it’s rarer these days now.

This feels too dogmatic to be very useful. I'll ofter a softer version that I think everyone can agree to?

- Don't mix rewriting code and adding features in the same commits

- If you're squashing commits on a feature branch, and there are rewrites in there, cherry-pick them to master and rebase

That at least leaves you with the ability to track bugs down to rewrites vs. feature additions.

The advice in the original post feels like it's potentially useful if it's in a large system that sees heavy use with good test coverage. Then it's probably the right impulse. But a lot of code isn't that.

The only fun part about re-writes are the days we spend fantasizing about how much better it will be, that's it.

Don't do a re-write kids, but if you do, do it from within the existing software like a parasite or a chest bursting creature from the movie Aliens.

Either way it always be messy, terrifying and most of the time ends in tragedy.

This was exactly my experience trying to build a RAG pipeline that answers complex questions by generating sub-questions [1].

> this year the Supreme Court has set a new precedent that they can now overturn their own rulings from decades earlier

What happened this year specifically?

Dobbs was in June 2022, but that isn't even close to the first time that the Supreme Court overturned precedent from 50+ years prior -- Brown v Board largely overturned Plessy v Ferguson ("separate but equal") from nearly 60 years prior.

And, we've had plenty of Supreme Court precedents overruled since the 19th century. According to Congress: https://constitution.congress.gov/resources/decisions-overru...

(Most of those never rose to the level of landmark decisions, but Plessy certainly did.)
This post doesn't provide any evidence or even any arguments.

There are lots of different types of rewrites, and rarely does anyone find themselves in the position to rewrite an existing system in a way that perfectly reproduces behavior 1:1, because rewrites are often motivated by a ton of ugly features/flows that were forced as kludges, where the whole point is to improve them, along with making it vastly easier/cheaper to write new features.

And no, waterfall works just as badly for rewrites as everything else, because when it comes time to program it, you run into bugs and unexpected behavior with libraries and the realization that your new architecture has problems and all of the problems that come with regular non-rewrite programming.

That idea that "First you need to determine the requirements. All of them. In excruciating detail." is the problem waterfall always encounters -- to write the perfect list of all requirements, that's ultimately writing all the code. Such supposedly perfect waterfall specifications are an illusion.

So no. Approach rewrites with the modern common sense of any software project, which involves defining and building out working components incrementally with testing, according to defined high-level priorities, and flexibly dealing with issues along the way as you run into the same unpredictable problems you always do.

And finally:

> Leaders who have delivered successful rewrites often describe the process as one of the greatest accomplishments in their career, but they never describe it as fun.

This sounds made-up. What leaders? Why would a leader ever describe a rewrite as one of the greatest accomplishments of their career? I've never heard of such a thing. And why shouldn't it be fun? Rewriting something to wipe away all the old horrible tech debt and start over from scratch can be super-fun!

I’ve been using Elixir for most of the past six years and really haven’t ever been bitten by the type system. I’m fairly sure that pattern matching , structs and immutability is why.

This topic has come up quite a few times on HN, but it seems like it’s generally people who haven’t ever used Clojure or another similar immutable functional language that worry about this.

IMO, Elixir and Clojure hit the sweet spot between a language like Ruby and one with an ML-inspired type system.
