The Palm was wide open, there was zero DRM, I had a Palm IIIx in high school and spent hours browsing the web for fun freeware/shareware to HotSync onto it over serial. I also spent my time waiting at the bus stop writing my own bus time tables app directly on the Palm using yBasic

Palm even provided the source code of the built-in apps like the calendar etc as sample code with their SDK, leading to a huge ecosystem of freeware or shareware "Calendar Plus"-type applications that just added small quality of life features

The overall performance change for that specific software is minimal but at scale it frees up the cycles for other software since it’s a multi tenant system which is why they’re showing how much CPU time they shaved across the fleet. Or am I misunderstanding what point you’re making?
> iPhone accelerometer seems to saturate at roughly 13g

That surprises me. As soon as a sensor saturates, you can no longer use it for dead reckoning (integrating the acceleration values to know position).

13g is way below what you'd expect when tapping the phone against a solid object for example - that could easily reach 1000g briefly.

I was under the impression that a big part of iphone's superior GPS performance was down to the clever use of dead reckoning and re-calculating past datapoints in a way android manufacturers rarely do.

Isn't this more of a home network rather than home lab ? Lab would be where you can run software and hardware to actually experiment with things. Within a closed setup like Unifi you are hardly experimenting with anything if at all.

Cool setup no doubt because unifi does make some good bang for your buck hardware that is low maintenance if you want to mostly just set it and forget it. And this looks like one of those set it and forget it control from a panel things.

But this is less lab and more network imo.
My first experience with 3D was with AutoCAD 10 or 11 when they had "2 1/2"D. I've used ProE, Catia, Unigraphics, SolidEdge, Solidworks, Inventor, etc.

The workflows in FreeCAD are completely irregular and alien compared to those others. It's incredibly frustrating to use and I have had zero luck becoming fluent in it.

Why? And what?

What is so magical about L5 criteria? Today Waymo is performing drives on public roads, and it’s safer than a human. Today. With whatever Lx criteria it meets. The label is irrelevant, all that matters is the mile-per-mile record of being safer.

Not sure what “Waymos own admission” means, but they out perform not underperform.

I would too! But don't worry, I'm sure we will eventually.

For some reason, not having solved every possible angle of driving from day 1 makes it seem like the technology isn't worth pursuing.

But let me ask this: do you have ABS on your car, or do you pump the brakes to stop when it's bad out like it's still 1980?
Read the headline and came in to say “wtf? this is exactly the opposite of “basic”. You got me good. I think this is right up my alley and here’s some context of why.

After running a production React app as simply as possible (on Windows infra - company constraint) just serving through IIS with a repo for front-end and a repo for an Express API server being served on one load balancer with 2 nodes, I’ve enjoyed the simplicity of not needing to know about these DevOpsy things outside of my stack and being able to focus on the development of business solutions. I’ve also severely lacked exposure to these things and I am curious about them.

I think this is very helpful for people like me whose core technically competency is React development and had to dedicate all of their time to responding to business needs. I never wanted to spend any time learning about tools I was unfamiliar with because I wasn’t going to deploy them in our production app anyway. The only times I dedicated time to learning new things was when our business had need for something I wasn’t already familiar with. Obviously that leaves me with a huge gap and I missed opportunities for operational efficiencies, but I was willing to accept that type of error over destroying our company because I wanted to containerize and couldn’t afford to prioritize figuring out how to unfuck us when I had other things to do that were value drivers for the business.

Learning about the other evolutions that could have occurred from my origins as a web dev is something that makes intuitive sense to me because I I still remember the very real motivations from those times when I chose practicality over the curiosity that I suppressed because there was shit to do. Those questions still remain unanswered and these essays may be the answer of what I could have done if I had prior working knowledge of these technologies. Curious to see how much better I could have done. Hopefully it doesn’t awaken a new kind of regret in me.

Because as I understand it L5 is parity with human capabilities. Until you clear that you're underperforming in some measurable way with what even mediocre human operators are capable of.
I'd be more than happy with fewer games. These F2P games are deliberately designed to prey on people's weaknesses because, as much as we'd like to pretend otherwise, humans are not entirely rational. Moreover, humans are not uniform, which is why it disproportionately affects a smaller percentage of the population. It's not unlike gambling. It's also why expecting the market to shift this isn't going to work -- that same small percentage is what's driving much of the profitability.

Besides the exploitation, it's just flat out ruining gaming. The top games on iOS and Android are just IAP-laden garbage designed to manipulate people into making progress and then locking them out. But, since every company is supposed to maximize profitability, they all end up gradually adding similar mechanisms. The market can't push back in any meaningful way. Sure, you'll see some games have to backtrack (Battlefront II) or some flat out fail (Concord), but mobile is a different beast than console (for the time being, at least). And I think this is an area where regulation is the only thing that can make a level playing field.

Not to mention the F2P games arguably engage in price dumping. Consumers in all markets will gravitate towards the lowest cost option. Here, a game doesn't have to be particularly good or even good for the player, it just has to be cheaper than other games. It's making it harder for there to be a legitimate video game market. I really think Apple did the world a disservice with iOS purchase policies. IAP makes it way too easy to hide the true price and for years you couldn't even find the price until you used the app (now it's hidden away, but accessible, on the store page). It predictably led to a deluge of free apps and games that made it much harder to engage in what I'd consider more ethical commerce. Hell, I've purchased apps and still had functionality very unexpectedly locked behind IAP.

If F2P games can't find a way to profitability that doesn't rely on exploiting people, then so be it. I don't think anything is truly lost. Societal productivity would very likely increase because people wouldn't be grinding for hours just to get to that next level.
Thank you, these are things I developed to manage my emotions and it's the first time to put them in words, I tried my best to serialize it.

The cool thing is, if you do this enough, you can always recognize the stimuli.

There's one exception, hormonal imbalance (bipolar, seasonal depression, etc.), because there is no stimuli.

But once you realize there is no external stimuli, you know it's hormonal. It is then classified as a irrational reaction. The difference of an internal irrational reaction is it takes more investigation and sometimes a few emotional knee-jerk reactions slip through before the hormonal cause is detected.

Also the irrational brain can misattribute the imbalance and attribute it to an external stimuli, but you can immediately correct it with evaluation and communication if the misattributed stimuli is a person. (ask for clarification, if it's not what you assumed, apologize after snapping and solve the conflict immediately).

My wife and I can tell when she's nearing her time of the month because it effects both of us. The hormone change unbalances us a week or so before sometimes causing fatigue or snippiness. It's nice to recognize it as to not contribute it the fatigue to burnout or take the snapping to heart.

We just overcompensate in communication and directly ask what the other person meant to not take something the wrong way once we recognize we're in this temporary state.
It's beyond that though. How many different, incompatible, assembly bench plugins are there these days?

As a rule founders get common stock, just like employees. "Founder or near-founder equity" here simply means "lots of equity".

It's rare, but not totally unheard of, for key early technical hires to get, say, 4-5% of the company. Typically though the first few get 1-2%, and it tapers off quickly. By the time you hit employee twenty-something, they're getting 0.1-0.3%.

I somewhat agree. The priorities just seem off for a large percentage of homelab creators. If you are starting new, a more reasonable priority list would be:

1. Get a hardware firewall (opnsense/pfsene) and learn to use it (1-3 years)

2. Get a virtualization server and learn what the separation of concerns principle means (1-2 years); (this includes adding vlans)

3. Add the first Smart Home tools that are critical to you (e.g. monitoring of electricity consumption/production or automation of activity scenes for burglar defense) (6 months)

4. Work on a resilient backup solution. This includes offsite backups, so you will need to add a second server in a second house somewhere else. This _should_ come earlier, but you may have some backup solution in place already when starting at (1), so now is the time to do it properly (e.g. ZFS, automated syncoid pull-mode snapshots etc.) (1-2 years)

5. Try to improve individual pieces, maybe buy a larger rack, a UPS etc. (3 months)

6. At this time, you have a fully functioning Homelab. Now it is time to improve the look.. but doh, you have no time left anymore!

(above is basically my history.. started in 2017 and I am now after 7 years at stage (6), but otherwise overall pretty happy with my ugly looking setup)

Slot machine mechanics are very good at extracting money and time from people who would likely become addicted to slot machines if they were legal and available on their phones. But the f2p games have carefully programmed reward/spend paths that casinos only dream of.

What I want is for gacha/slot machine-like mobile games to be required to disclose the odds, as well as the expected cost/time, for various rewards, much as casinos are required to disclose the odds and expected loss per hour.
Well how are they underperforming?

They systematically get in less accidents, the accidents they do get in are not their fault, and they tend to be less dangerous when they occur. As I understand it, that unambiguously means outperforming.

We don’t need to remove every manual car in the world overnight, but this seems like a clear win, at least in the regions they operate. They don’t need to cure cancer and drive in every road condition at all times in all places and also not ever make any mistakes at all to be an improvement. “L5” is just a label, which I guess doesn’t apply, while “safer”, “less accident prone” are different labels, which do apply.
> I don't know that Richard Hipp agrees with you about what roles SQLite is "meant" to be in.

If Hipp thought that SQLite was suitable for backend applications where the database is the authority then he would allow real types and the associated constraints. But he won't do that because it complicates the code and bloats the embedded object size.

SQLite is great for what it is. But it's not a real concurrent backend database. It's a client-side database. That's all the SQLite developers will ever allow it to be.

We can try to layer-on a bunch of stuff like Lite Stream or whatever, and sharding. But the fact is that the core database itself is not, and will never be, suitable for backend applications.

You can accidentally write a string to an int column. Will SQLite say no? No. SQLite doesn't care. It returns everything is A-OK!

You can query an ISO-8601 string column with date_trunc() and strftime() and it just returns NULL whether there was a value or not, or maybe just because it did't recognize the string in that column (LOL).

SQLite is fine. But it's not a real backend database. It's not a replacement for PG.
It's not something I'm required to solve.

Local activists in Africa have a low success rate but do have some wins, in advance of such projects happening they can alert communities to join together and resist individuals being forced from land their families have held for many generations, work to get judges that haven't been bought off to have oversight in various districts being targetted, etc.

There's about 20 minutes of coverage of the land issues in The Grab (2022) IIRC https://revealnews.org/the-grab/

On a greater scale a team would be needed to track outside owned projects being launched in a region and invest in community education and activism in order to counter the opposing teams being funded to faux-legally grift land away and the enforcers being bought in (or locals paid) to strong arm evictions, etc.

If both google and apple pull out, who will be your monopolist? And what makes you think that they won't also get hammered with legislation?

And even if we assumed that this would be the case, maybe suffering under a "real monopoly" is _exactly_ what the EU needs to push them out of their local maxima. I hope they continue to hammer the ever living shit out of every company that abuses its position to exploit people and deny them their rights. Abusing copyright to prevent people from fixing their own property? Screw every single one of them.
They have de facto relationships so it doesn’t require marriage to apply.

I guess there is the pattern of abuse aspect that makes it rather discretionary.

Conditioning the relationship on sexual exclusivity sounds like a very normal thing to do. My gf knows that if she cheats then that is the automatic end of the relationship. Is that a pattern of behavior or is that one and done. She has the same rule, so who is abusing who?

My guess that the law was an overreach on the assumption that the courts can be reasonable - they’re certainly more reasonable than US family courts but that’s a low bar.

I have found that one of the more useful things for me in most projects is having a readme per folder that has some basic info about each file in the folder, then can add more information as needed. That way when I leave for a while I know what I was thinking in one sentence when I made a file, and additionally might be able to split it to a package if it appears to be forming into a useful stand alone chunk. For larger projects I do a markdown checklist and break up smaller as needed. One of gets overwhelming to see what is done or not, I pull out those not complete yet into another file and wrote a current task from it and why it what it helps get done after. Sometimes my notes asking the way may include consider writing on this, which I totally agree does give a different approach sometimes. Really had fun reading your thoughts.

An index into a common data structure is a sort of reference. It's one which Rust strongly encourages. There are other ways to do it as well, including references in the classic pointer sense.

But yes, a hypergraph will have a lot of vertices referencing each other along (hyper)edges, however you choose to implement it. These can, and often do, form cycles, so again, no matter how the implementation is constructed, it has to handle that.

You'll have to check out the source for details on how this one is implemented, I wouldn't dream of spoiling the fun.
