On desktop I'm a moderate fan of Qt...

Some time ago I worked on a device that used a Qt5 QML touch interface (it was developed by a contractor, I was working on the backend). The UI wasn't anything too special, simple 2D things: menu over menu, some basic graphical representations (live 2D graph, and some dials were the most demanding parts)

The hw was a single core am335x (hardware-wise the stack was very similar to a BeagleBone) and the UI performance sucked. Whatever we did, it was just simply choppy and jagged all over the place.

I really liked a lot about that device, but that UI performance... that just killed everything. And I just didn't believe that the hw is that underpowered, for that paticular UI. So some time later I have implemented about half of the UI with raw OpenGL2, just out of curiosity, and indeed, it was much more responsive and fluent, with much lower CPU usage. But that was just a PoC, for my own amusement. That made me quite disappointed in the embedded performance of Qt.

Is QT for MCU usable for actual MCUs?
> I propose that we all agree to ban all permanent lunar development that is visible with the naked eye from Earth.

...with no proposal to weigh the value of the development against against the value of good taste or nebulously defined compassion. To suppose that no such development with greater value is possible betrays a poverty of imagination.

IMHO it is authoritarian to constrain the actions of others on the basis of taste and beauty. I don't dismiss their value, I just place it lower than the value of independent agency, as opposed to "you can't do that because I don't like how it looks." A better reason should be needed. That's true of putting a poster on the wall, let alone preemptively blocking huge communal projects.
getboon.ai | Fully Remote | Full-Time | Roles: Senior Software Engineer, Software Engineer

We build software supporting the logistics industry. Hiring for both AI-related roles and more traditional web dev.

We use a mix of RoR, golang, and python.

A general application link: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/boon, but we are looking for a variety of experience ranges. More senior roles can be fully remote. For more junior roles it'll be hybrid with the expectation you'd report to our office in San Mateo 1-2 times/week.
I have no idea but look at it from the perspective of the US Department of Defense. Also, companies like Google make ~$8B in profit every three months for selling ads. Is it really that crazy they awarded this amount of money to try and have US-made chips?

I'm not advocating for war, weapons, defense budgets, etc., but this doesn't seem like a bad thing if it's providing jobs and chip alternatives for the US and the world. It seems like Taiwan is going to cease being independent at some point.

• Increased observability of a cloud system by building a AWS Grafana dashboard with metrics from AWS CloudWatch

I like this take, I'm stealing this as my headcannon. It's especially interesting to think of the black goo as able to design a parasite specific to the species it comes in contact with. And the LV-223 base might be part of a former alien MAD deterrence program, similar to an SSBN or a missile silo.

I still have to watch the prequels after "Prometheus", but that prequel was one of my favorites in the series, and your comment makes me want to go watch them.
I believe in the 80s all those vendors were making the same intel design in their own fab. I don't think any of them did the design on their own. In the 90s some of them had their own designs.
Until someone can provide a link to an actual case where that's mattered, I refuse to believe that those have any real legal power.
All the authors are Chinese. They might have been confirming a cultural transmission about the origins of using silk that otherwise had no direct archaeological evidence.

They got a bit of the history of the Silk Roads incomplete. The Silk Roads, as it is understood now, isn't just about trading in silk, but the idea that the ancient world was connected and globalized through an extensive trade network. It isn't just overland routes, but also maritime routes for spice trade with India, and connections from North Africa deep into the interior of the African continent. Paper was worth more than silk along the Silk Roads. However, from the lens of Chinese history, silk was something that the Chinese monopolized for a while and was sought after by other cultures and civilizations connected through the Silk Roads.
Any dashcam recommendations? Last time I looked (last year) there were issues with all the top models I saw recommendations for.
Understanding the the current coalition and opposition, how its develop to where it is in now in relation to the occupation, and why the Israeli government is likely to prevent a ceasefire in Gaza and hostage deal.
Any articles or inside writing from the industry you know of? I realize it’s illegal, but it’s still fascinating!
I don’t think the paper says anything about general problem-solving? They analyzed 40 reasoning problems and I didn’t find a list of them, but the example they use most often is “find the slope of a line.” Apparently there are many examples in the dataset demonstrating how to find the slope of a line, including computer code, and they all influence the answer.

There are many ways you could ask a question about how to find the slope of a line, and the “generalization” going on seems to be unifying the different ways you could ask and answer this question.

It seems fair to say that the LLM did learn to find the slope of a line? But the question has definitely been solved before, many times.
Good. There is no benefit to using 11 instead of 10.
When search is cheap and quick, it's possible to improve search by postprocessing search results and running more queries when necessary.

I use Tantivy, and add refinements like: if the top result is objectively a low-quality one, it's usually a query with a typo finding a document with the same typo, so I run the query again with fuzzy spelling. If all the top results have the same tag (that isn't in the query), then I mix in results from another search with the most common tag excluded. If the query is a word that has multiple meanings, I can ensure that each meaning is represented in the top results.

This is in large part an OEM issue. Dell or HP will definitely have an Intel version of the machine you are looking for, but AMD versions are hit and miss.

I think this is partly because big OEMs doubt (used to doubt?) AMD’s ability to consistently deliver product in the kind of volume they need. Partly it’s because of Intel’s historically anticompetitive business practices.
>Synology has their own btrfs setup that they ship to customers with their NAS software for example.

Synology infamously/hilariously does not use btrfs as the underlying file system because even they don't trust btrfs's RAID subsystem. Synology uses LVM RAID that is presented to btrfs as a single drive. btrfs isn't managing any of the volumes/disks.

> how it differs from just using Docker

It uses the system.

You’re missing the trees for the forest. At a high level they are the same, just as with LXC or podman or others. But it’s the details which are really important. Because your leveraging the system you can really shrink down the size, another user mentioned. But there’s also a convenience in just being able to use systemd when its already built into your system.

I suggest also reading

man systemd-nspawn

Just type it into your terminal, you don’t need to install anything
It's a bit more lopsided in the US. A regional carrier pilot makes peanuts (due to how they are paid, only when wheels are up, there have been pilots effectively paid lower than minimum wage). At regular carrier like American/United/Alaska, pilots make waaaaay more. A captain may make half a mil. If you can suffer through the regionals and make your way up the ranks, it eventually pays off.
If a network intrusion detector warns about something being changed, you can review the logins to see that it happened right as an authorized person accessed the box. A common practice is to not allow root direct ssh access.

Thanks for letting me know. I always thought that one was a bit of a stretch.
> Application of theory is key.

What works for me is deliberately testing something that I recently read in a project. Even if it is something that works, rewrite it from the perspective of what you just learnt.

This makes you look at problems from different perspectives. And if you get stuck, it's easy to ask for help.
I'm learning Conquest and Netrunner now. I kind of half-understand Conquest now, and as for Netrunner, lol. One day. So this is very relevant to me.

I would compare the experience to being lost in a class, failing the first test, but just hoping you'll be able to learn enough by semester's end to pass. It's not easy, explaining all the ways things influence each other and cross-contribute. But thinking about it in a structured way can only help.

Blueberry Pediatrics | Full-stack Senior or Staff Engineer | REMOTE (US-only)

American healthcare is seldom affordable, accessible, or high-quality. We are fixing this for pediatrics. Blueberry is the most affordable option amongst our competitors. We practice the highest quality pediatric telemedicine, as evidenced by our exclusive hiring of board-certified pediatricians and the usage of at-home medical kits. And, we’re accessible 24 hours a day.

Our success is shown in the lives we save, the costs we save our insurers, and our exploding B2B and D2C business.

As you can imagine, pulling off affordable high-quality healthcare is a challenge. It requires a lot of engineering ingenuity, a C-suite aligned with positive patient outcomes above short-term profits, and a great product team.

We use Django and Hotwire Turbo (an HTMX-like framework). Experience in these technologies helps, but what’s more important is general full-stack knowledge, curiosity, and a strong work ethic.

I may be overgeneralizing, or I may not.

Just don't take shortcuts, life's too short for shortcuts.

I retype all my passwords all the time, and I don't let my browsers remember them either. It really doesn't bother me, and a side benefit is, I never forget my passwords.

KlongPy has a lot of other features beyond pure NumPy operations (such as IPC and web server), which you could see as a kind of making use of array operations in some application. You could look at the core Klong language as what you suggest.

I liked how in Exploding Kittens (card game not a board game but similar genre) they basically say - watch this YT video URL + QR code to understand how to actually play.
Nope:

The first run through, useState() returns the default value and your code runs to completion. When the update function is called, that entire React function is run again, but this time useState() returns the new value instead of the default value.

Likewise useEffect(), your React function runs all the way through and the callback passed to it is run afterwards at various times depending on the dependencies array. First run is immediately after, on component mount, then every time the dependencies change (if dependencies are specified), or every rerender (if null/undefined instead of an empty array).

> with sovereignty and agency over internal affairs like how the coffee market works

Kenya had sovereignty in production, but not in capital - which is what was needed to climb up the value chain.

Historically, Kenya's largest capital market has been the UK, and as such Kenya's administration was unable to break the oligopoly of coffee purchasers who were British-Kenyan dual nationals and descendants of British settlers.

The same kind of land reforms that former colonies like Indonesia, Vietnam, India, etc were able to drive did not happen in Kenya.

Now corporations from those former colonies are gobbling up land and production in Kenya and other African nations, but domestic African (excluding South Africa) continue to remain on the back foot.
