But that's exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. We find scary what we're unfamiliar with.

To be clear, I agree that the Javascript ecosystem isn't perfect, particularly when it comes to supply chain issues. But in a lot of ways it's more secure than Python's typical dependency setup. By default, NPM uses a lock file, which enforces that specific versions of existing packages are used unless explicitly updated. This means that you always know which versions of which dependencies you're currently using, it allows you to upgrade different parts of your dependency tree independently, it ensures that when you remove a dependency, all of its transitive dependencies also get removed, and it allows for different dependencies for production and development environments, and for different portions of a given project.

Doing all - or even part - of that in Python is difficult. There's no built-in way, and so people tend to adopt third-party tools or roll their own scripts. The roll-your-own process, in my experience, almost inevitably leads to some sort of failure, usually a certain updating unexpectedly and breaking everything, and then not being able to roll back to a previous version of that dependency. The third party tools (Poetry, Pip-Tools, etc) work better, but are often difficult to integrate more widely into the Python ecosystem.

I don't want to make this about Python vs Javascript - both are tools that make different tradeoffs and can be valuable in different ways. The point here is that, as software developers, we often end up with what are essentially superstitions about other programming languages - we describe things we don't know or don't understand as "magical" or "scary", because that's easier than admitting we're just not that well informed. And while it's okay not to be informed about everything, in situations like this, it can lead to bad outcomes.

In the article, the author ends up blaming the situation on the magic and weirdness of Javascript, but it sounds like the issue had more to do with them not understanding how best to do package management in Javascript.

As the OP says, FPGAs are kind of niche and devoted to specialized applications. For example there's Corundum[0] for in-network compute, kind of exotic and maybe too pricey for a hobbyist. The biggest open-source thing out there is of course MiSTer, but it is tied to a particular old dev board and toolchain last I checked.

>what do you _do_ with the cores?

I mean, this is kind of the problem, but in a way it's a funny problem. The strength and the curse of FPGAs is that they can become almost anything you want. However getting that sea of logic into the desired form requires knowledge of the FPGA family, the tools, the hardware, and digital design in general. The "tedious stuff" unfortunately makes up a great deal of FPGA work! Many days I feel like a glorified plumber...

As far as cores go, in FPGA land, the vendor would probably already provide a core (IP, in hardware parlance) for say fooing bars, that is easier to use and probably a far sight more reliable than the project on OpenCores. (Which probably hasn't been touched in a decade, is written in VHDL-87, is using Wishbone when you want AXI, and lacks a test suite.)

As a hobbyist, you might search and find the project on OpenCores, but be scared away by the cruftiness. You then write your own foo_bars module, thereby learning a great deal, but contributing to the fragmentation problem. Plus seeding the internet with weird code with corner-case bugs for LLMs to trip over.

> 1.1 Ensure every page includes both implicit and explicit links to the homepage.

One of my pet peeve anti-patterns is API documentation sites not linking to the actual company homepage, only to the documentation root. Documentation sites will have much better SEO than you think, especially for queries that include the word “API” - there’s absolutely no guarantee that someone will have made a purchasing decision for your product, or even have seen any of your marketing, before happening upon your API docs. You’re forcing motivated, technical would-be evangelists to have their first interaction with your brand being a need to manually edit a URL to get to your main page. It’s an easily overlooked step as you’re standing up your docs, but a vital one.

I have a system along these lines lying around. It’s a very low volume Supermicro board, made for a partnership between Intel and a little startup (not mine). The startup might, at their discretion and possibly with an NDA or two, tell you the model number. Then Supermicro would sell you the board.

I have no idea what money, if any, changed hands, other than the fact that I paid, IIRC, about $600 for the board.

What "is" in a geographical area is a function of human cognition as it is in that area. When actual values are not available (like now), the mind supplies simulated values, and no notification that it has done that.

Some cultures have some insight into these matters/phenomena, some do not. Western countries tend to be in the second group, they consider (to the degree that they do, technically) such topics "woo woo". Consequently, they make the same error, over and over, and have no clue.

> As with most ambiguous words, the intention is usually clear from context anyway.

I agree that any given human agrees with their own personal opinion (what is "clear" to them).
You are right that cheap drones are slow. But they can destroy aircrafts or fuel storage for them or SAM missile launcher.

Cheap (~50k USD) are disabling oil refineries in Russia right now causing losses of a more than a hundred million USD.

Phalanx could cover 3km range meaning you need at least 6 for a single air field. And it has ammo for 30 seconds only. How many drones it can kill? 10? 30? And drone #50 will hit target.

And for some reason navy is not waiting for Phalanx to engage in the last second before impact, they use expensive rockets.

Modern army has no real answer to the attack of 100+ drones at a time.

But a majority of the work was done by the RalimOS project (firmware for several soldering irons). In the end, the input is DC or USB PD, a thermistor, accelerometer, volt meter, two buttons, and the output is a heating coil and a status screen.

For the soldering iron to work is several orders of magnitude lower complexity than a phone.

I’m sure they’d love for someone like Ralim to come along and write the entire OS for them. The problem is, as other posters have mentioned, there just aren’t enough millionaire programmers with nothing better to do than write a phone OS for you for free.
Well, we know what they could have done. Nothing. Because both were around and active then and they didn't do anything. Folding@Home followed SETI@Home so we know offering a different thing would have participants.

It's actually fascinating. People back then would be eager to find ways to do things. So many people now are lamenters, not doers. Perhaps that's just mean reversion and the original population was more agentic because it was a new tech.

Show HN: MeiliFinder – a beautiful MeiliSearch CLI client built with Rust
Dear HN,
I just published MeiliFinder. It's a CLI client app for MeiliSearch. For those who don't know MeiliSearch, it's a search engine like ElasticSearch written in Rust.

I created this app because there's no CLI app for MeiliSearch. Until now, I have used a web based client but I prefer CLI app for this kind of tool.

The app is built with Ratatui and 100% open source. :)
Military nuclear programs are completely unlike civilian programs. Rigorous, repeated, varied testing, no expense spared. Our ICBMs are far from untested. We used to fire 2-3 per year to insure their reliability. Pulled out of the field, launched from Vandenberg, and carefully analyzed. I never once had any bureaucracy interfere with doing an excellent job, and money was never a limit. In the event of WW3, at least 96% would have struck their targets. We know that from decades of expensive research, testing, and incremental improvements. We spent over 5 trillion dollars on our nuclear program and received our money's worth.

> Good luck with that. Pretty much all arguments are by analogy.

I've made at least half a dozen arguments in this thread and not a single argument I've made in this argument is by analogy.

In fact, the very argument you are making currently isn't by analogy.

> That's how you determine if a generalized rule applies to a specific instance.

That is an extraordinarily poor heuristic.

If you have enough information to make a rule for a specific instance, why not just make a rule to apply to that specific situation? Why even bother trying to apply a generalized rule?

I mean, you can say literally anything with analogies. Here, I'll offer my first argument by analogy:

Given that interoperability is one of the explicitly mentioned design criteria, it seems a bit of an oversight that they forgot to specify how the encoding actually works. It says nothing about how you encode the 32 bit integer into the five characters and the description of the decoding operation is also pretty vague.

The five characters SHALL each be converted into a value 0 to 84, and accumulated by multiplication by 85, from most to least significant.

There is of course the example and the reference implementation and everyone knows how this kind of encoding works, so you can certainly figure out how you are supposed to implement it.

Refactoring code is the same as refactoring a math equation. Make sure you show every step so you don't screw up. If you skip steps you will screw it up.

If it's risky, you're doing it wrong. (Or you're using an unchecked language like Python (which is incidentally why Python is not suited for large projects IMO, because you can't safely refactor them).)

P.S. the steps are covered in Martin Fowler's book, but they are equivalent to refactoring functions in math, naturally.
I am surprised at the tone here as well as that if the article.

If you view refactoring as this risky, you are I imagine using a dynamically typed language with automated tests few and far between.

In a statically typed language and with a decent automated test suite, refactoring is just another coding activity.

It sounds like people out there are terrified of going near their code with a 10’ pole. That is heart breaking to see.
Only if flak cannon is there. How far can it engage? 3km? How many you need to cover one airfield? Fuel storage? Ammo depot? How many airfield there are?

The N95 was heavily across Europe, that was the primary market for it in fact.

Second "yesterday." How is OP so casual about this? $300k at 10% interest is crippling for a new grad, especially a slightly older one. Just the interest is $30k a year. Every year! Just to tread water! This is a debt emergency of staggering proportions.

If you can run g.711 for your codec, things should work ok, depending on your jitter... g.711 is the digital calling code from 1972 that telcos used for T1/E1. On voip, it's packetized into 20ms bursts rather than multiplexed one sample at a time.

If you use one of the newer predictive voice codecs, expect a lot less success, but maybe moving to older/slower modem speeds will help.

Pretty interesting read but seemingly doesn’t hold super well in some real world situations. Extremely few goods have Inelastic demand and are purely differentiated by location - even car washes will have slightly different prices and services. (Even branding alone is a differentiator).

What makes you think it would matter if you had cash, when the payment systems go down? It's not like the cash registers would work without their own connectivity, which will be down too, if electricity is gone. Since there are almost no mom&pop shops in metropolitan areas anymore, which maybe could switch to pen&paper, abacus, that point is moot too.

In reality you have personnel which shows a deep frown if the till says 42.52 and you give them 50 in bills, and 2.52 in coins, so they can give you an even 5 and 3 or 2 coins back. (adapt to your local currency and coinery)

If any of the fancy new car washes in my town were only clearing $1k/day, they'd be folding shop pretty quickly. I don't know where you live, but the wash by me (JetSplash) does between 500-1000 cars a day at over $20 a pop. So you're off by a magnitude or more.
It's an excellent and very practical proposal. Unfortunately I think geo-engineering is a hard ask politically.

Left-coded groups demanding action on climate change seem to primarily it as a moral issue, and will tend to reject what they percieve as "easy fixes".

Right-coded groups are more split with some groups wanting various kinds of action while others deny a problem exists at all.

Geo-engineering is perceived as a "techno optimist" position right now, which is a relatively insignificant demographic niche.

But that pales compared to the difficulty of getting international consensus. I feel we'd need a PR / influence campaign the likes of which the world has not yet seen.
