I'm reminded of Dwarf Fortress, which simulates thousands of years of dwarf world time, the changing landscapes and the rise and fall and rise and fall of dwarf kingdoms, then drops seven player-controlled dwarves on the map and tells the player "have fun!" It'd be a useful toy model perhaps for identifying areas of investigation to see if it can predict behavior of real civilizations, but I'm not seeing any AI breakthroughs here.

I sincerely do, I don’t know what else to tell you.

> It is already illegal for non-citizens to vote, but I'm sure you know that.

In many states, non citizens can vote in state or municipal elections just not the federal. In states without Voter ID, a non citizen could easily register with an electric bill. It would be illegal, but it would be very hard to prosecute.

> Do you have anything meaningful to contribute to this discussion?

I think you bring up great points in a challenging and partisan topic. I’m just outlining some of the concerns that people have with not requiring Voter ID. You can dismiss them as invalid if you want! But I think you would have more luck trying to prevent the disenfranchisement of minorities if you wouldn’t dismiss all of these concerns out of hand.

Again, you’ve made a fairly strong case that voter ID disproportionately affects minorities, but you haven’t made the case that wide swaths of voting citizens are actually disenfranchised, nor have you made an argument that justifies abandoning the concept of election security altogether.

It depends on the car. Mine is resistive (like yours I think) and I can just press harder, I also don't have to use my fingers, something like a capped pen works perfectly. Though these kinds of screens are considered low-end compared to capacitive touchscreens because they require a heavy touch and usually don't support multitouch, I think these are the best for cars (if you don't have physical controls).

But many modern cars (ex: Teslas) use capacitive screens like on smartphones.

Here in Pisa a decade or so ago the town started building an underground parking almost in front of the train station. The work had to be stopped soon because they found ancient Roman ships beneath the ground, that sank during a storm. After (many) years a museum with these ships opened and the underground parking works could start again, but it took literally years. The museum is small but quite cool tho, but you have to be passionate about it

This is it. I don't know why so many people think touch controls are a misguided attempt to be better. They are a definite attempt to be cheaper, that's all. This is why most electronics made in China these days have touch buttons. They are cheaper and they are almost always worse.
Interesting.

I had never gotten any spam via RCS until this year, and it's been in relatively small numbers compared to WhatsApp, Telegram, and mostly SMS which stays the top spam vector for me. In any case, Google Messages spam filtering works incredibly well.
In embedded you should choose hardware that works. Should is key, all too often the, hardway guys don't ask they just give software something.
The better "Framework wranglers" usually eventually learn the "leaks" as part of the abstraction's API, and learn to be comfortable not trusting anything.

TCP can fail, but so can my own totally deterministic code I only think I understand. Or more likely, I trip and fall and break the Ethernet cable and the whole thing fails.

My job is to make the final result reliable anyway, even knowing the thoughts in my own head are not trustworthy. Even if I knew anything about proof theory I could still make a mistake with a mathematical proof, and simplicity can't stop it. Left and right are fairly simple concepts and I've mixed them up so many times.

A lot of devs think in terms of trust and quality, and are so quick to assume entire subsystems are perfectly fine, whether it's because it's a high quality thing from a trusted vendor, or because it's simple and they did it themselves and feel they understand it.

It's just like in real life, how people seem totally sure they won't trip and fall or drop what they're holding. I'm used to understanding my own hands as unpredictable, so I guess that's why I like tech.

It's less about avoiding mistakes and more about predicting and planning for mistakes.

I don't know about full-on nationalization, but we have plenty of evidence to show the incentives for publicly-owned for-profit companies whose primary customer is the Government are strongly misaligned with the non-economic interests of the public.

I don't have a pat solution to this, but for example, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon have little reason to improve when they have a captive customer. Raytheon recently agreed to pay ~$1B in penalties for illegal exploitation of their position and the market doesn't care: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/raytheon-company-pay-over-950...

OpenEmbedded/Yocto, Devuan and Gentoo provide multiple init systems.

> Rustysd is a service manager that tries to replicate systemd behaviour for a subset of the configuration possibilities. It focuses on the core functionality of a service manager, not requiring to be PID1 (aka init process).. core systemd functionality is not very hard to replicate.. the advantages of having a systemd-like service manager can be brought to many other platforms.. (like alpine linux, commonly used in docker containers and small vms) and freebsd.
Given the fact that most apps are signed and won't run if the signatures don't match, and that macOS has had built-in user customisation of icons without tampering for many years, I think it's safe to assume it's using the latter.
For me as a user, systemd is far better than old init systems. The logging alone is worth it to switch to it. Add more ram to the embedded board and welcome to the future.

Hi, deskthing developer here.

I'mma be completely honest, I had no intentions of this blowing up like it did. The Readme has been in desperate need of a revision and documentation is all but nonexistent. Why? Because I'm just a college student who likes coding and figured I'd take on a fun little project. I'm not a company, an organization, and i have no idea what the crap I'm doing half the time! A formal wiki is in the works and will eventually be implemented and linked to across the ReadMes and websites.

Thanks for understanding!
Cheers
That's for userland, not drivers. Linux doesn't have a stable interface for drivers so a compatibility layer would be a nightmare to maintain.

Can you link some upstream issues you raised about the big annoyances?
Those cameras exist in a lot of Windows laptops and are generally ridiculed as "nose cameras". Probably not the best idea.
I agree with the general principle, but student loan forgiveness is in a completely different category. When a loan is forgiven that's not just free money from the government, it increases the national debt which impacts all citizens. I sympathize with those who made unwise choices as youths to take on excessive student debt. But I sympathize more with working-class people who never took out student loans and instead got a job or enlisted in the military. Why should they now pay for the mistakes of college students who partied for 4+ years in college majors with no earning potential?

Student loan forgiveness also creates a moral hazard. Every future generation of students will then expect that they can take out unlimited loans and if things don't work out then no worries, the debt will just magically vanish.
Probably? I've never customized icons on macOS. But this from their site made me curious:

> Replacicon even watches for app updates in the background so your customized icons are not lost across app updates.

edit: a quick google suggests this is just because some application updaters remove the old package entirely, so I guess it's what you said.
All of those things are trivially true. What are you disagreeing with?
Justify that claim.

In my experience, the set of issues that would affect 2 buildings close to each other, but not two buildings a mile apart, is vanishingly small, usually just last mile fiber cuts or power issues (which are rare and mitigated by having multiple independent providers), as well as issues like building fires (which are exceedingly rare, we know of, perhaps two of notable impact in more than a decade across the big three cloud providers).

Everything else is done at the zone level no matter what (onsite repair work, rollouts, upgrades, control plane changes, etc.) or can impact an entire region (non-last mile fiber or power cuts, inclement weather, regional power starvation, etc.)

There is a potential gain from physical zone isolation, but it protects against a relatively small set of issues. Is it really better to invest in that, or to invest the resources in other safety improvements?
You said something that he found unclear (so did I). He asked for clarification. You refused to give it. And now you mock his reading comprehension? Since at least two of us couldn't be sure what you meant, maybe you should work on writing less cryptically.

I'm an old and your comment made me realize "prank calls" basically no longer exist.

This was an enormous cultural phenomenon that existed for decades (at least in America) and somewhat quietly has completely died off.

For anyone who might know, were prank calls as much of thing in 50s-90s Europe? Asia? Honestly don't know but it was sortof ever-present in the background of American teenage life (it was pretty likely you either were pranked or pranked someone else at some point in your adolescent life).

(Yes I realize "heavy breathing" calls are more akin to sexual harassment and on the extreme end of the "prank call" spectrum)

Don’t worry. Neither does anyone else. Everyone just gets better at faking it with time.
Joe Armstrong distinguishes in his thesis between exceptions and errors: exceptions are when the runtime system doesn't know what to do, and errors are when the programmer doesn't know what to do.

Say your code divides by 0; the runtime system can't handle 1/0 but you the programmer may have anticipated this and know what to do. This is just someplace you write code right there to handle the case (catch an exception, pattern match the 0 case beforehand, whatever).

Your error, on the other hand, means something you expected to hold didn't; recovery inline from unknown unknowns is a fool's errand. Instead you give up and die, and the problem is now the exception you know how to handle "my child process died".
AI afficionados don't seem to appreciate that the creative process has intrinsic value for creative people.

Export all of that to a separate device which can be updated and/or replaced with time.

A friend was considering various auto options in the mid-aughts and described to me their realisation that the "navigation package" (a US$1500 option) would be an obsolete-on-delivery system that would only get worse with time. Its functionality has been provided by a series of ever-improving smartphones and tablets, not to mention published paper maps and highway atlases, which have excellent resolution, response, high- and low-light readability, and are utterly immune to networking glitches or WiFi deserts.

Music and/or podcasts can be delivered from your tablet or smartphone. Over local FM broadcast if no other options exist (and that's far less glitchy and frustrating than Bluetooth IME).
I got an email from Microsoft recently with that funny thin font used for headers. It reminded me that that was a trend around 2016 or so. The headers would have thinner font strokes than the body text, despite being substantially larger.

I remember that around that time (I was quite young) I was putting it in all my attempts at websites (all hideous, even at the time) and I thought it looked really cool. Funny the way trends go.

In the case of the email it was clear that it just hadn't been updated with the times.
Admittedly my language was deliberately more inflammatory than it had to be, because I wanted to challenge folks to basically post what you just did. Rather than an endless reform-a-palooza, seizing upon current apathy to champion “let it fail” forces folks to reckon with the reality that nothing is permanent, and if the status quo is unworkable, how do we destroy and rebuild in a constructive way?

Excellent response, gave you the upvote so others will hopefully read it.
Ya, cheaper design/production costs plus a tech feel for being new, but I bet in the future you’ll be able to buy analog buttons as a premium upgrade.
> In embedded you should choose hardware that works.

I've never seen it approached with that kind of incompetence, in my professional life. Embedded is a system thing, not a hardware thing. You pick the system that will work. Ignoring the software side of things is ignoring the majority of the problem in embedded work. I would have agreed with you 20 years ago, but it's 2024, and why RPI is so often used for prototyping.
Seems kinda like it does about 10% of what a Streamdeck does, minus the physical hardware. Of course, for most of those users having the hardware (16 or 32 key macro board with user-controllable displays behind the (clear) buttons. Basically it looks like a keyboard with LCD keys.

The queue approach of `SELECT...FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED` is great for low throughput needs. One thing to note: as your throughput increases you will have to deal with bloat.

When the processed message rows are deleted, the pages sitting on the disk are not deleted until vacuum is run. If you run an online vacuum it doesn’t delete the page from disk, and a full vacuum (that will free up the disk space) locks the database while it completes the vacuum (which if you’re now dealing with high throughput, is not great).

One approach to address bloat without dealing with vacuum is to setup a timestamp-based partition on your queue table. This way you just drop old partitions and it frees the disk space without needing vacuum.
Last year there were reports that they wanted to make a fully fledged dating app as well [0], but there's nothing to show for it so far.

They did launch a TV app, although I haven't found much discussion about what kind of content you can even access on it. The biggest creator on the platform of which I'm aware is Tucker Carlson, but I'm not sure if they have any other big names regularly posting content. Maybe their long-term plans will include funding the creation of new media.

Overall, Elon has made a lot of claims around increasing transparency but I haven't seen that play out on his platform. He did an initial recommendation algorithm release and never updated it again. It's still possible for your account to get suppressed, shadow banned, or for it to receive limited reach without having this communicated to the account owner or other users. He made a few big platform decisions like reinstating Trump's account using public votes, but then dropped that decision-making approach entirely. Maybe he just wanted to avoid accountability for being the one to reinstate Trump at the time? They're also not allowing third-party independent studies to be run on the platform to analyze what kind of content is being posted and amplified. They've also continued the legacy of censoring certain kinds of content: one example I saw a few months back was that you wouldn't find any results when you searched the name of a shooter. I'm not even opposed to having this kind of filtering take place, as long as it's communicated in some kind of transparency report. But right now despite it being a so-called free speech platform, it continues to operate very opaquely and without any kind of good faith accountability.

Wait so systemd is a problem for embedded Linux because... it uses 250MB of RAM? So it's only really a problem for systems where using a mainstream distro probably wouldn't even be a consideration anyway (yocto seems to be popular, as mentioned above). I'm not seeing a strong argument here. At the risk of inviting a parade of "actually, one time at band camp I saved the day with a first-gen raspberry pi zero", how many embedded systems in 2024 are really RAM-limited?
