Not understanding. What part is hard to figure out? The UI is literally that you tap your phone! There is no "app".

You only run the "Wallet" app UI if you want to mess with payment details, and even then it's integrated with all the other account payment stuff. So if you tried to sign up for more Drive space or ad-free youtube or whatever you've already done it. And in the worst case if you tap and you don't have it set up, it pops up automatically and prompts you.

Your complaint seems to be limited to the fact that they used an app name ("GPay") for something other than NFC payments. But... so what?
Suburbs are usually grafted onto towns (and within a few minutes of stores), not in the middle of nowhere. That would just be bizarre.

> if someone “fears” they may become a victim of a hate crime, they can go before a judge, who may summon the preemptively accused for a sort of precrime trial. If the judge finds “reasonable grounds” for the fear, the defendant must enter into “a recognizance.”

> A recognizance is no mere promise to refrain from committing hate crimes. The judge may put the defendant under house arrest or electronic surveillance and order them to abstain from alcohol and drugs. Refusal to “enter the recognizance” for one year results in 12 months in prison.
What a strange perspective, the oil reserves aren’t located anywhere near the “barren remote” parts of Norway, consider the famous ekofisk oil field, it’s in the ocean roughly in the middle between Denmark England and Norway. And the southern Coast of Norway isn’t dramatically different from Denmark climate wise, they do have amazing cliffs there though and the culture around boating to town is a sharp contrast to Denmark. Anyways, hardly a rough barren wasteland with dreadful weather as described.

This discovery is at Fen which is much more north, but it’s near a fjord, and a skiing resort. It’s hardly some uninhabitable place. It’s true Norway stretches very far north and some parts are not inhabited, but that’s not anywhere near where the resources that have provided the Norwegian wealth are, and not this time either.

Now if you want to dive into the true reason for their wealth it’s a cultural thing, when the negotiations around ekofisk took place they famously got the Danish foreign minister of the day, Per Hækkerup so drunk while he visited Oslo that he agreed to pretty much just give them all the oil. Ever since Danes lost all respect for him, not for giving up the oil, but for not being able to hold his liquor. This last part is of cause all hyperbol, part myth part joke, but many did believe that he just gave it up to easily because no one expected this amount of oil off the coast of Norway.
> Dozens of slightly different controllers. Why?

Many of those listed are the same controllers in various modules. Espressif has a bunch of different µC series, but not that many. In contrast, aside of the whole Pico dev board, Raspberry Pi does not offer any ready-made module with RP2040.

My point wasn't just about games - it'd be equally applicable to regular software. What I'm saying is that certain practices always come off as cheap, something that desperate developers to do squeeze the most money out of anything they make. You wouldn't see banner ads in Google Authenticator, or a Pro subscription in Apple Notes that lets you have unlimited notes. Of course, those companies still monetize their big-name software products, but they never come off as cheap as MS entrusting a P2W mobile game with the official Microsoft(tm) Minesweeper(c) name.

Of course, Microsoft is also a serious game publisher - even before their shopping spree, Xbox Game Studios had published actual, real, award-winning games. Which only makes this contrast with officially sponsoring borderline mobile shovelware even more jarring.
Now you are moving the goal post. And if you ask me, those are just masks for inner racism about immigrants stealing their jerbs. I live in Europe and I don't see this being a big consideration.

As I pointed out that made it worse because they lied to the security. They simply wanted to take sides in a civil war.

Strangely enough Russia (and their predecessors) and Norway has never been at war. Ever.

Not that the past is a predictor of the future, of course, and Putin is operating quite a few spies and saboteurs here too.

Perhaps I could sell you the idea of ignosticism: one cannot prove anything about any supernatural beings, so the whole question of existence of gods is meaningless, and can be therefore happily be ignored. Thus, all religious questions are resolved.

Even atheism is a strong stance and asserts a belief that you cannot test!
I'm very nervous about this. I hope that Raspberry Pi stays good after it.

I'm actually of the same opinion as the GP comment, modulo that I'm not ever going to jump ship to an Apple password manager, but I'll point out that 1Password will most certainly not get Sherlocked since they are not Apple-centric and thus Apple would have to (gasp) release a Passwords.app client for Windows and Linux plus a cli and kubernetes operator in order to hold a candle to the reach that 1P has

Is it in the CCS protocol? My understanding was that the F150 used a custom extension in order to do its thing where it will power your house. And even they don't feed back into the grid, which would require synchronizing the A/C.

If there's already a protocol built into CCS for vehicle-to-grid then that's great news, but manufacturers would still need to enable it.

There have been some test deployments of vehicle-to-grid in the US from Leafs since they use CHAdeMO.
Yeah it's pretty silly. My son liked to play this, and the solitaire card games, word games, all by Microsoft. They all have absurd ads and nonsense like this.

I think it's pretty obvious that the term "slop" has food origins. When you think of "slop", you think of oily, greasy fast food, or disgusting amounts of sugar, syrup, icing, etc. The food allegory strikes again. When someone says something is "slop", they obviously mean mass-produced content that regular people willingly consume at their detriment, because it appeals to our most primitive desires. Something lacking of substance, non-challenging material, "Roller coaster" content.

Thanks you. I tried Joplin too. I really like it but there were a few issues other than its being an electron app.

For example, the workflow didn't seem very fast to me. For example, open the app, then at most after one tap you should start typing immediately, enter multiple todo items without going to menus or pressing any other buttons. On desktop, it should all be keyboard driven anyways. In other words, I want the UI to get out of the way. I think this is something that many note taking apps miss.

As for the direction, I'd like to make it easier to migrate from other apps. There's already a Google Keep importer but there should be many more.

Also, with the public APIs, I'd love to see some Emacs, vscode, vim clients/integrations :)

Other than that, it pretty much covers all my needs at this point.
So do CAs in general offer those? Are they as affordable as "normal" certs? Certainly you need to be paying for that those kind of certificates, possibly some premium?

It's probably not worth it anyway, because you're now stuck with that single IP, for little benefit. In general IPs just don't get HTTPS certificates acquired for them.
In the Acorn DFS the "directory" was an attribute for each file that was just a letter prefixed to the file's name.

It was used to group files. Since the original format only allowed 31 files per side, it wasn't really that useful. I never used it.

RP2040 is awkward in my experience.

Everyone needs Flash, and RP2040 has none. Very few projects need more than 32kB of SRAM (especially on an anemic Cortex-M0+ core). You're missing an FPU (like on Cortex-M4 or higher chip), so DSP capabilities are awful even if your clock speed is high.

RP2040 has awful power consumption: 20mA. The M0+ competitors are 10mA, 5mA, or even sub 1mA. Once we get to more recent Cortex-M23 or Cortex-M33 (or the 8-bitters)... many competitors sleep in the under 1uA (!!!) regime, meaning "always on" chips (when you're under 15uA or so, you're undercutting many battery's internal leakage currents, so your chip's current usage becomes a rounding error). RP2040 is incapable of "always on" computation like this, so this limits applicability.

RP2040 has some peripherals, but its missing common modern components. Many competitors (AVR DB, TI's MSP430 and MSPM0, STM32G4) have OpAmps for mixed-signal conditioning. Most competitors have multiple analog-comparators. DACs are somewhat uncommon but AVR and TI offer them.

-------

So comes the question: what kind of project are people using RP2040 for? It can't be cost-optimized, because by the time you buy a flash-chip and external oscillator you've overrun the costs of the competitors.

Its not power-efficiency, because RP2040 is a power-hog. You're getting far less battery life compared to competitors. (Case in point: the microcontroller that handles your wireless credit-card transactions is battery-less, running purely off of the energy of latent energy waves in the NFC protocol. RP2040 will never reach these low levels of power consumption).

Where I see RP2040 as useful, is utilizing its absurd 264kB SRAM (far, far larger figure than most chips). If you need a graphics framebuffer for a small 300x200 8-bit color screen or something, then RP2040 is probably the right choice. (60kB for the framebuffer, and likely 2 or 3 of them for various computations on the frame buffer).

But outside of a display driver, its difficult for me to find projects where RP2040 is actually the correct choice. Besides, screens are relatively expensive (in both $ and in power consumption), so if you're getting a screen you probably can upgrade to a SAM9x75 with full 2D GPU, DDR3L 800MHz and Linux support for like $12 for those SiP packages.

-------

At a minimum, the next version of RP2040 needs to include on-board Flash / on-board programming. This is something _every_ project needs (RP2040 needs to run its code off of _something_ anyway). The fact that it ships flash-free is incredibly absurd to me at least.

RP2040 forces a microprocessor-mindset ("one chip" where you add a bunch of addons) inside of the low-cost microcontroller market segment. Its very strange.
The size of the printing mechanism is an innovation for sure, but I think after you add up all the other components to make a functioning printer you end up at nearly the same size: a resin vat, space to print, various leveling mechanisms, filters, UV light shield etc - the form factor doesn't really change all that much.

Thanks for your advice. I've reverted the license back to 1.0, adjusted the royalty rate, and made the royalty disclaimer more apparent in case someone says it contains a HIDDEN royalty :)

As a small team, we don't expect to make great money just by the royalty. We choose to open source this project for many good reasons. But the only reason of adding royalty is that we want to protect our work from being stolen by some other random guy.
They make an absolute killing from Windows in the enterprise space though.

At this point, Windows Home largely just exists to lock people into the familiarity of Windows so it remains the de facto standard of businesses too

Web developers make no sense to me. In one moment, it's all about "not breaking the web" (see: Smooshgate, and the stubborn resistance to reasonable API naming because it would break a 15-year-old third party library). And then they casually drop a huge breaking change like this. Ok.
Thank you for the post--it's really interesting to hear that feedback about your workflow.

> There's no way it would implement real features

Could you say more about this? While Plandex certainly does have limitations, I've been using to add some fairly complex features to Plandex itself. That said, I know there are conditions that can make it not perform well. Could you maybe talk a bit more about what kind of code base this is and what problems you tend to run into? Thanks again.

Why? If they're happy with Windows then how does that affect you?
What's killing MySQL is no longer being the only choice for low cost and small scale applications.

Too many stat mech books to possibly recommend, for the idea of emergence you'll want something including phase transitions so...

Canadians are so incredibly passive. They let the government do whatever it wants. I think it's because they trust their government so much that when you get the Trudeau administration, which is about as bad faith as a government gets, they can put a quasi-totalitarian government in place with little resistance. Every single thing they do can be defended with, "You trust the government to do the right thing, and act in your best interest, don't you? You're not one of those paranoid conspiracy theorists?"
I'm about to replace my carpet and linoleum floor with 8mm "vinyl planks" that are 80% PVC. So since I'll be scuffing the floor and breathing the emissions most of the day for up to the rest of my life, it's at least a little encouraging that the FDA doesn't find a basis to ban it in food packaging. It's not that I trust the FDA, but more that I can't really afford hardwood or tile, so it's what I want to hear.

Brand damage is very real for large businesses. Developers who abandon Windows for Mac or Linux don't come back when their specific grievance gets addressed by Microsoft because the fundamental trust is broken.

Apple is making similar mistakes with their aggressive App Store take rate, by allowing so many scam apps on the App Store, and with their unfair policy enforcement. Apple sentiment among developers has been declining steadily as a result. For many the tipping point hasn't been reached yet even though they are fed up.

The problem with brand destruction is that it takes a long time to show up as in the revenue chart. But by the time it does a ton of damage has been done.
Dang you sure are great at saying nothing really confidently. I'm not even being stubborn here, you just refuse to explain yourself. Not only do I have no reason to care what you think, I don't even know what you think, except for "You're wrong." I've said it before and I'll say it again: Why bother to write a reply at all if you're not going to say anything meaningful? I can't even say your argument is ill-formed because you simply haven't made any such thing at all.

I honestly don't know what you're asking me to do here. You show up and say "Nuh uh you're wrong" and I say "Why?" and you say "I can't believe how stubborn you're being!"

What the fuck?

Like the one example you cited is an instance where even on a console this control-based paradigm didn't work, and your only conclusion was that this obviously means you need to control even more stuff, instead of even considering other approaches.

I know this is going to be unpopular on HN, but I think there's this "environmentalist inertia effect" on display when it comes to stuff like that.

A lot of the early industrial chemistry was pretty terrible for you and deserved public attention and regulatory crackdowns. Leaded gasoline and paint, organochlorine pesticides, mercury catalysts in rubbers, and so on.

But then, the negative publicity then continued for substances that were a lot more ambiguous. For example, DDT saved millions of lives, and the backlash against it was probably overblown. Still, you know, good riddance - at least until malaria comes back in the developed world due to climate change?

And now, we're in this place where any accusation of substances being artificial and cropping up somewhere at parts-per-billion or parts-per-trillion levels is enough to cause outrage, even if we can't demonstrate serious adverse effects on humans or most other life. Microplastics seem to be the most egregious example of this. But the panics around phthalates and BPA are another interesting case where, if you look closely enough, there just isn't a whole lot of good science to back any of it.

I'm kinda torn about this, because I think we should be working toward reducing plastic waste, and I'd rather see phthalates replaced by safer plasticizers, such as benzoates. But the amount of alarmist headlines in this space is pretty wacky.
