Thanks for the feedback.

As mentioned by others, there are USB-C docking stations/monitors where a single cable provides power to the device, takes video from the device, and sends keyboard/mouse events to the device. I should have asked whether software on a laptop could emulate a USB-C docking station, i.e. DP display sink + keyboard + mouse, since docking stations already exist.

> Communications between such a thingamajig capture card and a laptop has nothing to do with DP Alt mode or USB HID, it's whatever custom USB packet types that capture card manufacturer comes up with.

Revisiting the question above, could a manufacturer make capture card output compatible with existing USB-C docking stations, instead of inventing bespoke USB packet types? If custom hardware is needed, why not emulate standard protocols?

I was surprised to learn that Windows/Linux/Mac/Android userspace software can encode/decode custom USB packets from a USB-C cable, without a custom kernel driver. Could RP2350 implement a similar custom protocol at the other end of the cable, removing the need for a hardware capture device?

One reason might be that you get the benefit of feeling superior to LLMs without any cost or risk of finding yourself mistaken.
This is right. I’m an MIT physics SB. The undergraduate curriculum is pretty uniform across schools. A lot of our teachers were poor. But what was being taught, and is always taught at top schools, is mannerisms. What does an actual physicist do? What are his attitudes towards this and that? What is important and what can be ignored? And a lot of those mannerism are taught, reinforced, and related by peers.
In many places in Texas, the soil can ruin foundations of single-storey buildings if allowed to cycle between wet and dry. To overcome this, watering the foundation is a requirement to maintain a baseline soil humidity level. Snails thrive in damp conditions.
They want to sow discord. Manipulating US politics in any meaningful way is difficult to do. It's easier to divide and conquer and turn your enemy against itself.

In my opinion the West is already doing a good enough job at polarising itself, doesn't need much help from the enemy.
The last few years have disproven this idea that we need to stop with debt spending. We just conducted a beautiful experiment: since 2020 the USA has had more deficit spending, more economic growth, and less inflation, than the EU, which has had less deficit spending, less growth, and more inflation.

A government without debt would be like a business without debt: obviously wasting good opportunities, instead of pursuing them aggressively.

But even that analogy is wrong, since a business has to make money to pay its debts, so a business does face some ultimate limit on how much debt it can take on. By contrast, the USA faces no such limit. We can always print as much money as we need to pay any debt. So long as we're willing to deal with the inflation, we can print as much money as we need.

But realistically, with birth rates falling, the government will have to engage in more and more stimulus spending as time goes by. We used to be able to rely on population growth to be the real engine of the economy, but we no longer have that. So to keep the economy going in the future, we will have to rely on immigration and deficit spending. And there, too, the EU offers an important counter-point: the USA has had a much easier time integrating immigrants, in part because of our deficit spending. By contrast, the EU is seeing how difficult it is to integrate immigrants in a climate of austerity. The EU is close to stalling, in that it needs immigrants to prop up economic growth but it is not printing enough money to put the immigrants to work -- a stall which could lead to a vicious downward cycle. Meanwhile the USA has pulled in millions of immigrants and also printed enough money to put them to work, resulting in strong economic growth.

It's hard to take an article like this at face value when they provide zero evidence for any of their claims.

This is coming soon after Trump decided to accuse Iran of being behind his assassination attempt (done by a white 20 year old) and Israel literally assassinated Hamas's chief negotiator while he was visiting Iran.

It seems like the powers that be are desperate for a war with Iran and will continue beating the drum to build consent.

If you want to pay $330/year on $100k or $1650/year on $500k to Fidelity so they can pay themselves 0.42% expense on MM fund (atrocious if you ask me) but have a pretty app, that's of course your choice as a customer. I'd spend it on something else.

There is also something to say about diversification across finance orgs. I am not sure having all the funds for banking and investing using the same org is healthy. Diversification helps with SIPC/FDIC/FCUA coverage too.
"if there's a market for it" is a big weasel phrase. It lets you ascribe fault not to the system, but to the people who 'chose' to live in such a non-marketable way.

Even if we accept that: what would you have those farmers do, then? Capitalism has hollowed out the towns that supported them, and now you say that the free market will handle the rest: to me that sounds like a recipe for headlines ten years out saying stuff like "The farmer shortage is quickly becoming an issue of national security."

And it's not just a rural issue either. AFAIK the term originated, or at least first became popular with reference to urban areas: e.g. map of these in New York https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a20cc15bc7cf49939c8...
These people did the "right" thing and moved to a city, even if they had to take up residence in cheaper homes to do so. Yet the market still doesn't want to serve them.

Internally, SQLite uses milliseconds since the Julian day epoch stored as an 64-bit integer for date math, and uses the proleptic gregorian calendar (no leap seconds).

Externally, it uses either (a subset of) ISO 8601 with millisecond precision for a textual representation, or a IEEE 64-bit float representing either days since the Julian day epoch, or seconds since the Unix epoch.

You can also use integer seconds since the Unix epoch, but you'll get outside the supported date range before you use 53-bits, so 64-bit floats are equally safe.

The supported date range, btw., is from JDN zero through 9999-12-31T23:59:59.999.

In the 21st century, both of these representations can store the correctly rounded millisecond.

SQLite accepts time zone offsets, but immediately converts all times to UTC (or local time) and does not store the offset, so date functions can only output UTC or local time (no other time zone or offset).
No. I'm just quibbling with the headline which implies that the money is gone. It isn't.
As far as I understand the federal reserve is not technically part of the government but a private institution. It has shareholders not unlike a public company and those shareholders are the big banks like JPM. I'm not sure if those are the same as the so called primary dealers or if there is just an overlap. You are correct that the actual printing of physical cash is done by the government on behalf of the fed, I think by the treasury.

I don't think the comparison is fair. Imo PyTorch has the cleanest abstractions, which is the reason it is so popular. People can do quick prototyping without having to spend too much time figuring out the engineering details that make their hardware run it.
It’s not a full generic GATT server but I implemented a server for temperature sensors with MicroPython if anyone is curious what that looks like.

So I worked at LMAX during 2009-2011 when Martin Thompson, Dave Farley, Mike Barker, Chris Smith and Danny Yates worked on the Disruptor. It was in use in 2010 inside LMAX.

The heritage of Martin and Dave was video games rather than finance and they had the most input into it.

From a friend who worked in games, the general idea behind the disruptor had been in use in games for a while.
Really? Trump has always been much weaker in diplomacy with nations that are historically antagonistic to the US. He'll have a meeting with their leader, let them flatter him, and come away convinced that they're "very nice" and make a lot of concessions.

My bias is that I don't give mulligans or asterisks to presidents[1]. Every administration faces a unique set of challenges, and some of those will be financial. Most of the others will involve large-scale finances. So I don't grant escapes to administrations that are hit by recession, war, or plague. That's literally part of the job.

How that relates to the (relevant!) factors you raise is that firstly, most of them were knowable at the time. Bush knew that tax revenue was falling when he proposed his tax cuts. He also planned two foreign wars without planning to pay for them. These were choices that were quite obviously, without the benefit of hindsight, going to lead to increased deficits.

Covid was unpredictable, but the administration had choices on how to handle the deficit spending. Notably, they did not choose to increase revenue in any meaningful way. And the administration was not blocked by Congress in this, raising revenue was simply not a concern mooted by the Executive. (They did not even add spring-loaded revenue increase that would trigger when the economy recovered.)

These choices to increase the deficit were made will roughly all the information we have now. Both choices were contemporaneously derided by deficit hawks; it is not a surprise that they raised the deficit.

But again, Dick Cheney was correct that deficits do not matter (to voters).

I did browse the docs and repos[0]. I'm saying that "IfC" as formulated here[1] is an anti-pattern and what I refer to as misguided.

> IaC tools like Pulumi, Terraform, AWS CDK, Ansible and others bring repeatability to infrastructure by giving you scripts that you can use across different environments or projects to provision infrastructure. This code/config is in addition to your application code, typically with a tight brittle coupling between the two.

If there is a tight and brittle coupling, this is not an issue stemming from either the IaC approach or any of those tools. It's an issue of poor design.

What am I missing?

> clunky lists

Not sure what the problem is here. The nodes and relationships are represented as JSON so it's fairly easy to work with them. They also come with a pretty extensive set of list functions[0] and operators[1].

Neo4j's UNWIND makes it relatively straightforward to manipulate the lists as well[2].

I'm not super familiar with RDF triplestores, but what's nice about Neo4j is that it's easy enough to use as a generalized database so you can store your knowledge graph right alongside of your entities and use it as the primary/only database.

The big deal is video and RAM timing. If the memory is twice as fast, you’ll still be able to read from it for the video refresh at times the CPU won’t be able to. Also, I think DRAM refresh was done on the video timing. You’d need to rework all the logic on the board, but that was doable when they built the Mega 2 chip (and done in the IIgs FIP). The trickiest part would be the Disk ][ interface, and disk I/O done on it, as everything was timing-critical. A different disk controller that doesn’t rely on timings would be able to function.

As for program timings, you don’t need an RTC. You want timers and interrupt generators. I believe the //e and the //c could generate interrupts on vertical blanking. For a game you could run all logic and drawing and set up the interrupt vector so that the next interrupt starts the next game cycle. To count time, a cycling timer that increments on vblank would be quite enough. IIRC, MSX had one of those.

> I use a few different RMM solutions that could almost certainly handle the log collection, analysis, and real-time monitoring with alerts and I don’t think it’d take much time/effort to set up.

Right! But someone's gotta watch it. All day, and all the time. If it's sending alerts, who is it sending them to? The same security guard can't be responsible for both watching security monitors and watching or responding to access log issues.

The expense is in the people and maintenance, not in the initial buildout, as is true for many large enterprise initiatives.
Several economist have called what the states are have been doing with pensions the biggest ponzi of all times. Since I was little I've been repeatedly told (by propagandist schools/newspapers/etc.) that the mandatory taxation was to pay for my future pension. Everybody has been sold that lie.

But now that birth rates are falling it's exposed that that pension scheme built on eternal population growth was just that: a ponzi. But on a whole other level than the usual ponzis.

And because the various EU states (and not just EU) have been hiding fake GDP growth behind ever more state debt (money that mostly went into bullshit job producing absolutely nothing whatsoever besides more bureaucracy), they've got no room for maneuver.

When you begin to see articles like that left and right, you know that the ponzi is going to implode.

And who was right? Those who were calling it in a ponzi decades ago or those politicians (very often very bad at even basic maths btw) who promised that your taxes would help, among other, secure you a pension?
