I do not care. Later studies contradicted and criticized OAS conclusion. OAS was a player in the 2019 coup:

> Anez, an unapologetic right-winger appointed by standard constitutional succession rules,

What rules? She was not Evo Morales successor. The correct successors were being persecuted and had access denied to the government buildings. And during Anez illegitimate government, she used violence and the police to attack protesters and to persecute the opposition [1]. They tried to postpone the election, but they had no popular support and their coup was unsustainable.

This sounds a lot like “this codebase is too complex, probably because the last developers weren’t very good, we don’t need all these code branches and special cases, they’re just making it messy, it’s time for something simpler and cleaner” stuff that precedes the often underwhelming rewrite efforts that devs get sucked into.

I’m sure it’s possible to improve tax policy but that’d happen through specific conversation about how dynamics from specific relevant pieces of the tax code play out vs how they could play out, not through general judgements like “too complex” that are basically vibes-based.

if batteries are an option, e-ink is a super-low-power option because it uses 100 milliwatts or maybe 10 milliwatts at a cellphone size, while a conventional backlit color lcd uses 1000. but to run off solar panels, indoors, my power budget for the whole zorzpad is 1 milliwatt, and the screen can only have a fraction of that

There are two interesting cases of blue fish in my home state.

1. The Beardslee Trout, which exists only in a single lake in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beardslee_trout. Most photos online of these fish, including the Wikipedia thumbnail, are not representative of the stunning color of these fish in person, and are most likely not Beardslees at all. The lake itself looks like blue gatorade, and the fish have obviously adapted accordingly.

2. Lingcod, a fraction of which are a crazy alien blue color not only outside but throughout the flesh. https://oregonmarinereserves.com/2021/08/31/lingcod/. This phenomenon applies to a handful of species, but lingcod is the most well-known.

It would be very sad if this wasn't one of the possible fates of ISS.
I'm repeating myself here, but this 2019 thing is a "coup" in which:

* The ousted President had just claimed a victory in an unprecedented and unconstitutional 4th term election, after a judicial decision overruled both the constitution and the results of a failed referendum to amend the constitution to allow Morales to remain in power.

* The claimed victory in that election was widely deemed fraudulent, including by OAS (if you care what OAS thinks).

* Morales fled the country along with much of the constitutional line of succession, leaving the 2nd Vice President of the Senate to assume the presidency in the standard line of succession.

* That new president, unapologetic right-winger Jeanine Anez, promised prompt new elections and then delivered them less than a year later --- despite COVID.

* Those elections restored MAS, the Morales party, to power, and the transfer of power occurred peacefully.

* The new MAS government immediately had Jeanine Anez arrested for the "coup" in 2019, and has imprisoned her ever since, in an action that has been pretty much universally condemned by the industrialized world.

Arce has abused his power, Anez has abused her power, Morales certainly abused his power, none of this is appears new, there are people on HN that are far more authoritative about Bolivian politics than I am, the US with respect to South America sucks ass, but I doubt very much that there is any simple story to tell about what's happening here.
I think the reason channels become harder to understand is that you jump to having a network topology of senders and receivers to reason about.

With async/await, everything is still a function. Your IDE and debugger help you understand when and where a function is called. When debug-breaking on a function you have the stack trace.

Async/await gets you fast context switching for IO ops as it is a single OS process (no threads for the OS to constantly switch).

But once you go beyond a single OS process, then you need something like messaging or shared memory on top of async/await to communicate between OS processes/threads.

I think Golang jumps straight to messaging which is better for multiple cores, but misses the first step of async/await which is easier to reason about when you have a single process on a single core.

Anez was another in a long line of Bolivian heads of state that terribly abused their power. If you're trying to position me to defend the right-wing elite of any country in South America, you're barking up the wrong tree. But Anez assumed the role of interim president after a constitutional crisis, promised prompt elections, and peacefully transferred power back to Morales party, which then immediately had her imprisoned.

> the program continued using the same pointer, not the realloc call result, since the old pointer did not change

This is a non-intuitive result by the normal lens C pointers are viewed by; these two pointers compared equal, how could using one differ from using the other? Pointer provenance rears its ugly head here though; one of those "pointers that have the same value"'s provenance is different to the other. By the standard, they _are_ allowed to be treated differently, and honestly the standard requires it.

https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2020/12/14/provenance.html is pretty accessible, and shockingly on point: "just because two pointers point to the same address, does not mean they are equal in the sense that they can be used interchangeably".

Everything you say is true, except that is not what the complaint was about. In fact, in rejecting standing, the Supreme Court notes:

each platform acted due to Government coercion, rather than its own
judgment, is the fact that the platforms began to suppress the plain-
tiffs’ COVID–19 content before the defendants’ challenged communi-
cations started.

How can it be jawboning when the contact comes after a decision was already made? If even the plaintiffs aren’t alleging impropriety that follows normal causality, all that’s left is that NO contact can be legal.

It is in section 2.3 - they directly measured PFAS in all samples with high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). Then they measured subsets with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-qTOF-MS), extractable organofluorine (EOF) analysis, and dTOPA via HPLC-MS/MS.

The paper uses box plots (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40765183), on a log scale even, so it is hard to estimate the actual frequency of PFAS within the samples, but from Fig. 4 it seems like PFOS (51 ug/kg) and PFNA (68 ug/kg) were the most prevalent PFAS chemicals. For California the limit for PFOS is 0.15 µg/kg/day which for a 200lb person translates to 0.26 kg liver/kidney or about 9 oz. The FDA's serving size for liver is 3oz. So yes, it is high, and of course there are other sources of PFAS than food, but it doesn't even seem particularly problematic, unless you make a habit of eating wild boar. The EU's standard is based on within-food measurements, and is 50 ug/kg wet weight. The headline is wrong, 230 ug/kg is dry weight but wet weight is naturally lower as the denominator includes the water - it is more like 1.36x. Although I guess the sum of PFAS chemicals concentrations (median doesn't appear in study) might add up to around 3x-4x.
im noticing lately that comments critical of America is routinely downvoted here. All of what you wrote holds true.
There are definitely cases where a structured value is clearer than a function. But at that point you're just modelling your domain and it's not really a "command pattern" at all. The point of the command pattern is that you have an object that really and truly is just a function, you're only representing it as an object because you need to pass it around - but in that case it really is just a workaround for your language lacking first-class functions.

A good language makes it easy to use both functions-as-values and structured-objects-as-callables, and use whichever representation is appropriate to the situation.

Awesome art project. Where did you get 53 years from? I think, for longevity as a design criteria, including the documentation including design files is the best and most significant strategy.

Mechanical: machine everything out of solid metal, over-spec the springs, seals and potential ingress point precision.

Electronics: fat traces, replacement-optimized through hole components, socket-mounted chips, over-rated everything, passive cooling, conformal coating, arrays of smaller components in preference to single large components.

Fasteners: easy grip broad head twistable screws only, potentially to double as stands, this ensures accessibility until fingers become obsolete.

Software: ROM base system with physical restore function, dual ROM with mutual checksum if required, RAM for everything else.

Digital storage/retrieval: Solid state only.

Physical output: Optional low-longevity RS232 receipt printer for retro effect.

Power: Solar + supercaps and/or a corded pull-out analog watch-style shake-to-charge assembly and/or a thermal charger utilizing thermals from combustion and/or a pneumatic charger utilizing common compressed air interfaces as a power source.

TL;DR: The TRS-80 Model 100[1] indeed looks closer than the AlphaSmart!

If something like that TRS had e-ink, it might be what I'd had in mind. If you're familiar with the idea of the OLPC hardware[2], like that except:

* More durable

* Lower power

* E-ink

* Not effectively vaporware

On a related note, I heard Pixel Qi[3] displays were interesting. However, the company folded. Some panels seem to pop up for sale now and then, but my understanding is they're effectively obsolete.

> The recent Clockwork-PI evokes it - but the keyboard is a toy

That's a shame.

> it’s just a Linux laptop with all the distractions therein

After taking a look at the device, this seems like an understatement. The Clockwork-PI[4] looks like it's mostly an emulation machine. For anyone who doesn't want to click through, it's a Game Boy form factor with a few extra buttons and a keyboard below the D-pad.

To be fair to the device, I think it's different class of device. It also fills some very specific niches:

1. Prototyping for GB/GBC games on higher-power hardware and higher-level languages

2. A decent front-end attached sensors if you can use USB

As example of #2: Mapping WiFi signal strength. Walking around a building holding a clunky laptop while someone else held the antenna wasn't fun. It was what we had to work with given the deadline, but if I had to do it often, I might want something like the Clockwork PI if someone could source better keyboards.

It would be an amazing gift to be able to sleep even only half the time every day.

Exactly.

And remember that each coup "masterminded" by the USA has found more than willing accomplices in each country, every time. (And one could argue that in many cases, if the US didn't do it, the USSR would have - but I recognize with honesty that does not apply to 100% of the cases, Chile especially).

Maybe it is time for those countries to take a good hard look at themselves.

In my experience, real world applications mostly do deal with basically trivial requests (e.g. simple CRUD with some auth checks). The starting point I'm used to for multiple web frameworks is in the thousands of requests/second. Something like telemetry is definitely trivial, and should be easy to batch to get into the 10s of thousands of requests/second.

The 25 ms request you mentioned in another comment is what I'd categorize as extremely CPU intensive.
