Zmk has pretty good support for rp2xxx. It’s a lot nicer than QMK where you don’t have to write c to make key map. I made a mistake in my pcb and didn’t hook up my SPI display to a spi peripheral, and all I had to do was set up the device tree to make the display use the SPI driver that is implemented in PIO.
Exactly! Even in low-level programming like Assembly, the core instructions are still based on English. Do you think there’s a way to design programming languages that don’t rely on English at all—not just in keywords, but in how concepts are structured?
This was a really great article. This part stood out to me in particular:

> But what these tales are absolutely forbidden from representing is any agent or action that falls into the social class or milieu of the people who chiefly collected and read them. So the Grimms’ own world of government employees, highly literate women, libraries and universities is perhaps the most profoundly forbidden space of the folk tale. Indeed you might even say that not including that world is what makes a tale seem folkish, rather than, say, novelish. Part of the fiction of the Volk is that there is an absolute social void between the princes, the kings, the princesses on the one hand, and the tailors, discharged soldiers, huntsmen, kitchen maids and impoverished forest dwellers on the other.

I wonder why we don't see this perspective more often in modern popular fantasy. It seems that for the most part, they stick close to Tolkien or Arthurian models, primarily following the exploits of kings and knights. Even the popular fantasy authors who actively seek to subvert the genre's tropes tend to stick close to that perspective. And when we are treated to the perspective of a "common" person, they often turn out to have been born special for some reason, soon finding out they're some powerful person's lost heir or the subject of some prophecy, with the character being swept off into the world of the ruling class. Obviously, a lot of folk tales end with the commoner running off with a prince or princess, which isn't terribly dissimilar, but I don't remember Cinderella or Snow White being special beyond being pretty and charming.

It may be a blind spot of my own, but I can't think of many examples of fantasy with truly common folk as the primary perspective.

At this point, these chips aren't anywhere close to the frontier of capability for embedded accelerators, and certainly don't merit an entire M.2 slot in a serious design.

These are at 5-year-old design and it shows.
They should never all be off at the same time. We do cycle through each of them turning off for a period of the day. But, even if they were all off, there are lots of other sources of entropy we use, most of which are for more traditional if far less visually interesting.
Don’t forget the offsite storage. I try to ship an old copy every year or so to an acquaintance so I have a catastrophic recovery option.
If you ever want to sell your company the purchase price will be discounted by the amount of sales tax liabilities you have (source: have seen this happen). It's easier to get ahead of it and start collecting and filing sales taxes now so there isn't a growing sales tax liability.

That said, depending on how big OP's company is it might be below sales tax thresholds in most/all jurisdictions.
I wanted to cite a specific book by a great author here, but even hinting at it constitutes a major spoiler.
That's the demoscene the article is referring to. What makes you think otherwise?
I’m curious—do you think learning English is equally easy for everyone? Many programmers come from regions where English education is either poor or expensive. If someone is highly logical but struggles with English, should that be a barrier to learning how to code? Also what was your level/accessibility to education of English before you learned it? Did you start from scratch? Did you know a language that shared a root language with English?
Debugging CI Failures with AI Agents
I like Apple's growing approach of distinguishing "Time Sensitive" notifications and "Live Activity" notifications from all the other types of notifications from an app.

An Uber Eats delivery is a "Live Activity" with a tracker that is sticky on the lock screen (and Apple Watch "activity area"). That makes a lot of sense. "Deals" and other random garbage Uber Eats wants to send to me aren't "Live Activity" so can be filed to later/slower delivery.

A buzzer notification from my condo buildings front door is a "Time Sensitive" notification that gets priority. But that same app's "weekly neighbor updates" isn't and can be filtered differently. Those things are great.

I can send most notifications to "Notification Summaries" which give me digests of all the notifications in roughly ~4hr chunks. There are very few things that I need faster than that (esp. when apps properly support "Time Sensitive" and "Live Activities").

Of course, with great power comes great responsibility. I've caught LinkedIn abusing "Time Sensitive" notifications (because of course it would, LinkedIn loves notification spam too much not to) and entirely revoked its privilege to send them.
Do you hold the same contempt for the people that initially protested against the King of England?.. what a silly argument.

I just tried using cursor to create a simple ffmpeg golang youtube segment cut and download and oh my god it fumbled so hard. Wasted one hour of my time.

I personally don't know but claude 3.7 (maybe its placebo) but claude 3.7 in the web works way better than cursor agent or any other thing.

We are talking about a 500 lines of codebase at max and its fumbling so hard , I don't think it can replace 100% of us with "vibe coding" , I have started to break my task into very smaller steps and then use AI for that and then start to integrate it myself
That was my point: 300ms sounds like a lot until, like me too, you're on a slow connection and those 300ms on the entire 10 second page load are utterly irrelevant. You were already expecting a several second load time, that 300ms is not something that even registers: the HTTP negotiation on a modern page is _not_ what you're noticing on a slow connection. You're noticing literally everything else taking forever instead.
Computers are all about synergy and understanding the hardware you're working with. No one algorithm will work optimally on every chip. One of the harder problems is in. Fact getting optimal hardware use by coordinating multiple threads, chips, or entire clusters to work on the same problem together.

It's a shame some can't apply such metaphors tk humans and think "no, sure, there are single processors thst outperform entire distributed networks" we're different".
English is the global standard now, and that’s shaped programming as well. But what happens if, in the future, another language (like Hindi or Mandarin) becomes dominant? Would the programming world have to shift again?

If programming were script-agnostic from the start, we wouldn’t have to constantly adapt to shifting global languages. Instead of relying on English or any single language, shouldn’t we explore ways to make programming more accessible to all scripts from the ground up?
I have used Starlink for remote work and I can download anything as fast as providers can serve it (I am nearly 100% dependent on limitations on the providers upload speed). I have had no downtime during power outages (as long as I have my own power - which I do) which makes the unit have much higher resiliency than wired internet. Not sure what you mean by scaling issues, that's exactly what is plaguing fiber. They can't scale without digging up the entire planet.
If you figure out how to model this fluid dynamics accurately over any reasonable period of time, call me. Lots and lots of more valuable things you could do with that, e.g., accurately predicting the weather.

> Similar to super-resolution, it is relatively simple to create a nearly-infinite dataset for these; pick a clean image, then introduce JPG artifacts. Then train a model to invert the process.

Yep, exactly what I was thinking. The thing is it's hard to find enough clean images!
I share your disappointment. I explained it for myself with this: nobody cares if we the netizens have our data backed up. The corps want it for themselves and they face zero accountability if they lose it or share it illegally with others.

So it's up to us really. I have a fairly OK setup, one copy on a local machine and several encrypted compressed copies in the cloud. It's not bulletproof but has saved my neck twice now, so can't complain. It's also manual...

We the techies in general are dragging our feet on this though. We should have commoditized this stuff a decade ago because it's blindingly obvious the corps don't want to do it (not for free and with the quality we can do it anyway). Should have done app installers for all 3 major OS-es, zero-interaction-required unattended auto-updates -- make is to grandma would never know it's there and it's working. The only thing it asks is access to your cloud storage accounts and it decides automatically what goes where and how (kind of like disk RAID setups I suppose).
Show HN: I made Munchify – AI tool to decide what to cook with what you have
I built Munchify, an AI-powered cooking assistant that helps you decide what to cook based on the ingredients you have at home. Just snap a picture of your ingredients, and the AI analyzes them to suggest suitable recipes along with a full nutritional breakdown.
Sounds anecdotal tbh. As a datapoint I have been running OSX/macOS since 2002 and have had probably 3 grey screen of death and usually in the early years.
I've been using it, it's a very nice agent implementation. I'd say better than cursor. I've switched to a fork called RooCode https://roocode.com/ though because it seems more configurable (you can change all the prompts through the settings) and it implements a faster and more reliable editing mechanism.
The read failures are also attributed to other parts of the system, which for the end user still end up in failed reads. The author links to a sales PDF from Quantum.

e.g. the robot dies, the drive dies, the cartridge dies, the library bends, the humidity was too much.. multiplied by each library, robot, drive and cartridge your data is spread across.

A single reader thread cannot read a value written by a write, then later read a value written by a write that happens before the first write.
> Zstandard is faster and compresses better.

However, keep in mind that zstd also needs much more memory. IIRC, it uses by default 8 megabytes as its buffer size (and can be configured to use many times more than that), while zlib uses at most 32 kilobytes, allowing it to run even on small 16-bit processors.
But do you think they failed because they were localized per country, rather than designed for global compatibility from the start?

Silent conversions could definitely be messy, but what if there were a standardized system that allowed programming in any script while keeping everything interoperable? Could that avoid the pitfalls of past localized languages?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALGOL_68#Example_of_different_...

Algol 68 offered that, for keywords at least. Variables, procedure names, and the contents of strings can't be localized quite the same way (though localization for content is easier now than it used to be if you don't embed the string text directly in the source).

If we switched from a text file based representation of code to a different structure, localization could be performed more easily for source code even down to comments and variables. However, this would help you to work on a project I started, taken too far it would not help us work together (we'd refer to the same variables and procedures with different names). We'd still need to select a common language when collaborating.

Other languages, today, at least work well with unicode source but they retain English-based keywords (Go, Rust, probably others but they like to tout it specifically).

Think of it like this instead: if those who run countries or otherwise have power over people know that they if they attack people risk a proper response, then all such people who are sensible will refrain from violence.

>It's my understanding that solutions like Stripe Tax, Alavara, Quaderno, etc. only help collect the necessary data (which I consider the easier part, at least for digital goods), but do not handle the registration & filing (though I've learned that Quaderno will support filing Sales Tax in the US on your behalf soon).

That's right. Stripe recently acquired TaxJar which you can use to connect to Stripe Tax and file U.S. sales taxes. In my limited experience implementing sales tax I found that Avalara did not work well with Stripe right out of the box.
Well, professionally, tape is it - there is technology and it lasts more than 5 years. Unfortunately, the market for tape has evolved such that it's not very friendly to the non-pros. Not impossible but not friendly. That probably has to do with the lack of perceived market for that among non-corporate - or perhaps the impression that clown storage is where it's at for non-corporate.

To be fair some more, JBOD/RAID and hard drives does work pretty well. Past the 5 year horizon to be sure.

Product mgt and corp finance has also fallen in love with subscriptions - and clown storage is such an awesome match for that! Who needs to sell long term terabyte solutions when you can rent it out. Easy to argue against that logic of course, but not easy to fight.
I think a presence of even single senior can dampen the questioning part. So I prefer all junior team to make some big path breaking changes.
I think it's even more mind-blowing that we can hold back the tide of entropy for as long as we can and with so little energy expended.

Solid state electronics and magnetic media are beyond magical. The odds of keeping terabytes of data on rails are astronomically bad.

As someone who’s done a fair amount with parsing of Unicode strings lately, I’m not at all surprised by this bug.

Unicode is a surprisingly elegant system but also an open invitation for all kinds of abuse.

It's interesting that so many of the replies (and the general sentiment I've seen) mention PIO. And I'd agree, it is a really nice system. Seems they really hit a home run with that idea!
Do you think we’ll always be stuck in this cycle, or is it possible to design programming languages that aren’t tied to any one language, preventing this issue in the future?
Nice! Where does one learn how to do this kind of thing (aside from the fractals)?
So what you wanted was a wireless speaker? I think when most people say "smart speaker" they mean a speaker that they can control using the speaker itself, so not just a speaker tethered via bluetooth/wifi.

LLMs are effectively DDoSing the internet at this point. SourceHut has been forced to block entire cloud providers just to keep their site running. AI companies are consuming enormous bandwidth and server resources without contributing back, ignoring robots.txt and copyright concerns. They're scraping the entire web while making parts of it increasingly difficult for real humans to use. We're all paying for their "innovations" through degraded services and increased infrastructure costs, all to fuel the AI hype cycle.

> MCC and Ordo Iuris have ties to national-conservative political parties that have been hostile to the EU’s agenda in recent years – in particular the bloc’s attempts to institute climate reforms.

Why are conservatives so motivated to destroy the planet? It seems to be beyond the profit, they seem to be genuinely motivate by anything that can cause harm to nature or people.
> I don't understand why the default would be anything but "commit the file as is"

Because it’s not uncommon for dev tools on Windows to generate DOS line endings when modifying files (for example when adding an element to an XML configuration file, all line endings of the file may be converted when it is rewritten out from its parsed form), and if those where committed as-is, you’d get a lot of gratuitous changes in the commit and also complaints from the Unix users.

For Git, the important thing is to have a .gitattributes file in the repository with “* text=auto” in it (plus more specific settings as desired). The text/binary auto-detection works mostly fine.

I do not like having to sleep so much. I understand the argument that it could become normalized like e.g. caffeine, but I personally would like to spend closer to the third of my life that is considered "normal" than to the half or over-half of my life that sleep currently seems to be.
>But by breaking up the order they have to wait and the market can move in reaction to their sell off unless they do it very slowly

it kinda works out because the other side is also smart and will also break up their orders. Putting in a massive buy order is a good way to pay through the nose.

I can often do that, but the biggest lament with the spouse is the easy returns on Amazon. You often have to pay for shipping to return an item and even then, only with an RMA and / or 15% restocking fee, while (if you have Prime), free on Amazon. I realize some of the "free shipping" is baked into the price at times - but I've yet to see it arriving faster or cheaper all costs considered from a 3rd party compared to that same item on Amazon. There's a lot less friction via Amazon.
For what it's worth, I had the same reaction as you. The still image of the YouTube video prominently features a woman standing, arms spread, with her nipples clearly visible because she's not wearing a bra under her shirt.

Other comments here shed some light on this.

Apparently the original creator was aiming to create a system that managed the wires under her desk, and named it underwire. An underwire is a part of some bras, which is how they got to the suggestive branding.

It looks like this is version 2.0 of the project / a fork of the project so they changed the name slightly to underware, as in 'hardware under your desk, to manage wires'

So it's a bit off for me (use sex to sell beer; tell me I'm smart to sell nerd stuff) but at least it makes sense now.

Hope that helps!
No we’re not. We opened an India office because it’s a big market for us. But nothing has gotten “offshored” there.
I havent deep dived unicode enough to know, and probably someone somewhere already made it, but I often wonder if we can do compression more efficiently by abusing unicode somehow, especially regarding plain text.
I think the 24-hour news cycle in general has gotten too obsessed with "fast" and "breaking" over "news worthy" and "attention worthy". I've realized as much as anything that what I want is slow news and that the old models were possibly best: daily morning paper, maybe an afternoon rag. That's it. Real news doesn't seem to me to actually move faster than that, we've just sort of let "entertainment" and "anxiety" and "engagement clickbait" substitute for "news worthy" for long enough that people think they need the constant attention to it.
Don't know their rationale, but back in the day it was really popular to cat a zip file onto the end of a JPEG or PNG and upload it onto 4chan, to be able to smuggle zip files where only images were supposed to be allowed. I remember back in the day seeing the "mods are asleep, post sinks" threads where people would share pictures of sinks, and I thought it was people being goofy, but later somebody told me that people were sharing zips of CP in those threads. I don't know if it's true or not, and never cared to find out.
I learned recently that the Coq project was renamed Rocq https://rocq-prover.org.
That sounds pretty great, especially if it's handled from the developers side and we don't have to customize it.

I know I can customize notifications for my apps but when I go to look at it an app has like 50 different types and I just don't care enough to deal with that so I just mute the whole app instead.
