Sure it's only mangled. I'm Ruby you can also still call private methods via .send(:method_name).

IMO the goal of declaring something private is to make clear what you consider part of your object's public API and it's safe for others to call. It's mainly to protect callers from shooting themselves in the foot. Private provides no security. Your consumer will know better the actual situation they are in and if it's worthwhile taking the risk that your API might break them in the future or to write additional tests since they are doing something you as the author advise against. Of course it can also help enforce good design within your project. IMO it should be easy to bypass private constraints when a user makes that educated choice

Our company decided that they want to make an electronic device. They've found an electronics engineer who devised a schematics and wrote some kind of PoC firmware. I wrote "driver" for it (really just wrapper around serial port) for our software to consume it.

That guy was busy with other tasks, so iterating on firmware was too slow. So I decided to dive in. I mean I knew C a bit.

So I had to learn STM32 arm, I had to learn low level C, I had to learn assembly, I had to get some understanding of those electronics things to get some sense of it, I had to read tons of manuals and datasheets.

Long story short, I rewrote this PoC firmware into something I could bear. It's so nice to control all software from the start to the end.

Now our company wants to rework this device into "smart", add display with touchscreen and stuff. So I'm digging into embedded Linux programming, LoL.

I'm generally consider myself full stack developer, so I can write frontend, backend, kubernetes, setup servers, deal with cloud stuff. However digging that deep feels like testing my limits.
I'm happy that your view is compatible with you sense of self. That's how I feel about mine too.

Not really! Many of the major CAD packages have built-in or add-on packages for FEA. Some of them will even do dynamic multiphysics simulations -- so for example you could model an internal combustion engine, simulate the combustion cycle, and measure the torque.

>The biggest dumbest problem is when blinds accelerate to the point that the minimum bet is greater than what Kelly would recommend. Some online poker sites are aggressive about this, to the point that you are forced to make irrational choices pretty quickly or get blinded out. A way to juice the house advantage I guess. It's almost enough to make me give up and find the next project.

The house does not have an advantage with poker. With player games, they earn money from hosting by taking vig(orish). But rapidly rising blinds in tournament poker is a way for them to get more games played, hence introducing turbos in tournament poker and Zone-type cash games.

Better understanding common betting patterns is more useful than hand simulators or whatever. Being able to accurately update your opponent's range throughout the hand is essentially how to play well.

Well, I think a lot of the uptick happened last week because that's when it was published in the Toughtworks Tech Radar for this quarter. The audience is large, presumably larger than HN, and that's how I found out about it and have been toying with it since then. I have no idea what I'm doing, but as far as I can tell, this seems like a legitimate project.
I went down this path and tried various vertical mice, and settled on the MX V for a few months in the pursuit of reducing wrist pain. After about 4-5 months or so, I started getting strong wrist pain again, and switch backed to a standard mouse. At that point I started looking elsewhere, specifically on strengthening my wrists and joints. I've been doing this about 5 times a week for probably 5 months now, and most of my mouse hand wrist pain has subsided: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVum3vWlh4Q

Well, there are many types of work harmful to society that people partake in. Coal, content makers for abusive social media, there have even been some organizations in history which have committed atrocious war crimes in which people had jobs, and they would have needed to re-specialize had they lost those jobs. It's not that there is a lack of sympathy for anyone who loses their job, but some organizations and efforts are harmful to the broader public.

The "HN and other Tech elitists" don't like social media because it's harmful to society. In the 18th century, Immanuel Kant already brought forward the notion that it is immoral to use a rational human as means to an end. We have broadly accepted this philosophy in life. So when social media companies exploit human attention and cause significant harm to their mental health as means to achieve advertising income and towards mercenary surveillance (surveilling the public for the highest bidder), that is broadly considered questionable. And not only by HN, but by psychiatrists, psychologists, other health care workers, teachers, social sciences researchers, and so on.

There is a national security argument to be made for TikTok as well, which is why governments have taken an interest in it recently. So the ends may be more insidious than advertisement and mercenary surveillance like we see across all social media.

We know that the content on TikTok changed a lot the day Russian invaded Ukraine, there has been a flood of misleading information about the war, including a wave of glorifying the "Z" armed forces and the "special operation", not to mention the "denazifying" stuff. People are being used as means to information warfare ends, too. And by both sides of various conflicts. This is also, arguably, immoral. Although I doubt there's much of an argument to be had.

The mental health and the national security arguments are separate, but given their context, characterizing this as a hate for mom and pop shop closures in some way or form is inappropriate. I think this comparison is a bit of a low effort troll. It's clear you want to rile people up as I don't think anyone starts a serious discussion by calling the other party an elitist or any -ist. But still, above are the reasons why very many people dislike social media and TikTok.
Yes, that's true. There's some question here (the author talks about debating whether to do another round of chemo to shrink the tumors, or to try to get into a trial), but ignoring that, I'm certain that people view it this way.

It doesn't excuse the doctors for not being direct about the choices at play: you are trying to get into an experiment where there's a 50% chance you'll get the same treatment you'd get anyway (one hopes -- it's what is supposed to happen, but some trials have been less-than-ethical), or a 50% chance you'll get a drug that might well be worse than the control.

Particularly for phase 1 trials, that last part needs to be emphasized. You're not doing it to survive. You're doing it because it's the ultimate altruism -- using your own life to find an answer that might help the next patient.
With the very clear caveat that I'd like to see a world where no one is interested or inclined to abuse children or view CSAM in the first place...

I would like to think you are right. The problem is that we already have a comparable with heroin and methadone. And people still want to take the heroin and not the methadone.

(You can get into somewhat conspiracy theory that methadone is designed to either help someone off heroin quickly or otherwise kill the addict more quickly - either way solving the problem. An addicts of wised up to that and avoid it.)
I don't get your point -- you're allowed to not like an invasive company and you're allowed to refuse to use their products if you don't like what they're doing. I don't think anyone in this conversation is making it their personality.

> In some cases, you might also want to avoid characters that sound similar when spoken. For example, b and p can sound similar when spoken out loud. This can be especially important in situations where IDs are communicated verbally.

In many cases these kinds of IDs are just an encoding of a ground-truth that is a big integer or a sequence of bytes, and that mean we don't have to use ASCII-character granularity, we can also use words.

True, that creates a certain cultural bias for wherever you get the words from, but it opens up new possibilities for error correction and detection, both by the computer and also by the humans transcribing things.

Vision Pro isn't better at playing any games nor much different for watching movies.

Right now the Apple TV feels like a closer match than the iPhone to be honest. We had he same vibe of putting some games on it but no native controller, and a "revolutionary" remote control with voice commands and a touchpad.

AVP has a chance to be good at office tasks and casual tv watching for singles, but that's assuming other players don't get there faster than it takes Apple to iterate. If for instance the next xreal glass sets the bar too high the whole office/virtual monitor angle will be an uphill battle.

We outsourced our CRM system last year to a certain company. Or you could say we migrated it to the cloud. Either way we had to audit data policies, establish contracts with them, transfer data to them, ensure the same functionality and workflows were replicated, look at the quality and reliability of their system, assign points of contact, make redundant some roles within our company, etc... Many of the things you allude to are implied by either term.

Time-sharing and remote job entry were also reasonable back in the day. You bought time on a computer to run workloads. I don't think they fit so well with the "cloud computing" model in a modern sense technically, but I do envy them for being descriptive, logical terms that describe what is going on. We got the cloud from Google CEO Eric Schmidt who said to a conference in 2006

> What’s interesting is that there is an emergent new model. I don’t think people have really understood how big this opportunity really is. It starts with the premise that the data services and architecture should be on servers. We call it cloud computing — they should be in a “cloud” somewhere.
. . .
And so what's interesting is that the two – "cloud computing and advertising – go hand-in-hand. There is a new business model that's funding all of the software innovation to allow people to have platform choice, client choice, data architectures that are interesting, solutions that are new – and that's being driven by advertising.

I mean, I definitely understand the thesis. I don't really follow the underlying arguments behind the thesis. The studies that are cited don't seem to take into account quality of ereader, or even amount of desire for reading.

Again, I'm not saying the studies are wrong, quite the opposite. I'm saying I'd actually like to see the studies continue until there is a thesis that makes a good amount of sense so that ereaders can be updated to better include any reading retention that books have. I only say that glancing at the abstracts included, I have half a dozen issues with studies, and the seem ripe for the replication crisis. My biggest concern being, if we are testing these things on people who haven't grown up with them. It makes a lot of sense that format you learn on at a young age could effect retention on reading in other formats.

Paper isn't magic. If there is some benefit to in-book-physical-location responses, it makes little sense it would be hard to argue that this is evolutionary adaptive, as mass publishing is only a few hundred years old, and an argument for spoken word stories would make much, much more sense.

If the thesis of in-book-physical-location as a benefit is actually real, ereaders could be adapted to fit something like this, by having, say, edges of the ereader change in thickness as the amount of content has been read.

> The NES was a little unusual in that it basically had no video ram. The PPU (the graphics chip) rendered sprites and background tiles straight off of the cartridge at 60fps as if the cartridge was an extension of the CPU's address space.

Unusual for home consoles, but it was pretty standard for arcade boards. This is why systems like the NeoGeo and the CPS-1/2/3 could handle massive amounts of sprites and animation that home systems couldn't replicate until the Dreamcast.
Really awesome! Normally when games are posted on HN I don't give them much attention, but for this one I grabbed my headset, and I' do it again!

One nitpick, the mouse speed is IMO too slow, I've set it to 100 in the game settings but I still needed to drag my mouse way further than normal to rotate the player. I grabbed my trackball mouse so I don't need to move the mouse itself that far and then it was a bit more playable.

Would it be possible to increase the mouse speed further than 100?

It will take awhile before regulatory requirements catch up and leverage technology that is already available today, but automated lineage capture of Relationship Bill Of Materials (RBOM) is already possible. We lack the data interchange standards and compliance compulsion to reify. That is in turn possibly due to regulatory and legislative capture? Other than the fleets of white shoe law firms that would be deployed against passage of such regulation, I do not know why structuring laws are in place for "trifling" $10K USD transfers, and not for these larger, more economically devastating cases of indirection.
Almost none of the common licenses allow this, because at the very least they have an attribution requirement. Licenses are being ignored.
This is crazy. Recycling plastic is important. The missing piece is the in and out mechanism has failed. For example, every pound of plastic China exports, they need to be required to import a pound back for recycling. They need to be responsible for their plastic exports. Very simple.
