As a former k-12 edtech practitioner-- these are terrible as a CB replacement. There are 6 reasons the CB has market dominance 1. dirt cheap 2. cattle not pets 3. manageable 4. google apps integration 5. available in pretty rugged form factors 6. pretty boring, not an attractive nuisance for poking and prodding

these things run windows, which in and of itself gives substantially more nooks and crannies to poke at. the hardware is all modular and accessible and losable

from a technology education perspective, these look amazing. but the majority of technology in education is and should be about as interesting as a pencil.

On that note, I just finished a very interesting biography of Elizebeth Smith Friedman who is a total unsung hero and the founding mother of the science of cryptography. Her team with the Coast Guard cracked enigmas in parallel to Turing. The Woman Who Smashed Codes, by Jason Fagone.

real developers never concern themselves with the realities of operations /s

the mythical 'full stack' engineer? or just sell the AL/ML snake oil and get hired to brute force tech debt.

is this a troll? Article is clearly about WireCARD not guard

The Brooklyn Brewery logo looks like genuine new old stock graphic design. It looks like it was done in the 50s and sat on a shelf, rather than emulating the style of the old regional breweries. It’s a true work of art. Glaser was a master of the fundamentals of graphic design. He understood weight and form in ways that have largely been forgotten and I fear that we have now lost the last of the breed.

I can confirm, that even on beta 1, it runs really, really, really well on the 6s. I wonder if they rewrote all of the UI in swift or just really cleaned up the libraries because the perceived speed, that thing makes a end user device feel fast because it quickly moves you from on screen to the next when you command it to, is improved over 13.5. I can also confirm that it runs really well on an ipad (5 i think) with the same generation SoC, though I have seen more bugs with things like widgets. In my limited testing, all of the apps I run often work, i love that it tells me when an app is trying to use network discovery and allow me to block it. I might install it on my daily use phone by beta 2 its so good.

exactly. the pitfall of this thing is that it stores everything in RAM and it is more than possible (I've seen it many, many, many times) to lose everything in a blink if the batteries die and the internal backup battery is dead or bad.

The send button is really cool. It turns it into an HID device and spews a stream of characters out over USB. It would be pretty easy and pretty cool to make a tiny little usb device that can accept that stream every time you hit 'SEND' and append it to a file on a... more robust system.

i have worked with way to many people that don't know what the navigation keys do, don't understand most of the control keys, and the only function key they know is F5.

Way too many people who have never used an actual console terminal

Dilution is the solution

am I wrong or is the code the interesting thing here-- and not specific to this devboard? Is there anything special about this board other than it 1. looks nice 2. supports the project 3. has the requisite 8+ Mib of PSRAm 4. has a silkscreen bug? genuinely asking as I am really still trying to figure out what i don't know about microcontrollers and embedded devices

Have you met my friend Ubunto 20.04?

Except with Snaps its a pain in the absolute ass to give an application access to anything that it wasn't shipped with access to. The whole interface paradigm sucks. With flatpaks its easy. That being said, I still think both of them are not nearly as good as the old way of packaging-- I want software that doesn't hide all of its dependencies (and thus vulnerabilities) from me by default. If the linux world could pull their head out of their asses on the desktop environment wars, neither would even be needed. Though I wills say, both are better than electron apps.

> Does Pop inherit Ubuntus snapifictation with 20.04? Not to the same extent. The Pop Shop tends to have newer versions of the software they pride themselves on and it is not snap'd. God I hate snaps. Say you want to run Darktable and have your photos on say a ZFS pool? pain in the friggin ass.I just rebuilt my CentOS 7 box to Ubuntu 20.04 after ZFS and Nvidia kernel woes finally drove me to abandon my beloved distro (I am a RH admin so it took a lot to get me to that point but have never really managed to get into Fedora)but the friggin snaps (and the subsequent drop in support from lots of projects to easily build for Ubuntu) were so painful. The minute I saw that PopOS 20.04 had been released I converted from Ubuntu to PopOS and have thus far been very happy.

> Do they release newer kernels for the LTS releases like Canonical does with Ubuntu LTS?

As far as I can tell PopOS is a pretty light layer on top of vanilla Ubuntu. You can still install everything from the Ubuntu repos etc.

> Do they pack ZFS in the kernel like Ubuntu?

I did a conversion and my ZFS install came over just fine (and my pool import from my janky CentOS built pool was shockingly simple-- only hiccup was that I didnt have SMB and NFS installed yet when I did it so the exports failed, but everything else worked).

Now my only complaint is that the Ubuntu implementation of Gnome does superkey+arrowkey Windows style AeroSnaping and In the two days or so I used it I got really used to it and that is not the default behavior in PopOS and haven't figured out how to tweak it yet. Its a really nice desktop environment and I have heard great things about the Pop Shell but havent played with it much yet. Now I just need to figure out how to prune out all the snap crap I installed and all the libraries I installed trying and failing to compile stuff from source. I am lost without yum. I know people hate it but I know it like the back of my hand and apt is different enough (and Canonical documentation is laughable compared to RHEL) to make me feel a little lost in the weeds. But native ZFS and Nvidia have been a godsend. A modern implementation of kvm/qemu is super nice-- my VMs are so much easier to manage now. And I'm really looking forward to playing with Wireguard again now that it has kernel support.

The USS Roosevelt data would be an amazing sample set-- vape and snuff use is very prevalent among sailors.

its a free service that they are providing as a social good in a strange time when more parents and more kids are spending more time on the internet than ever before. It wasn't malicious, there was no harm done, and like everyone else their resources are at leas unbalanced if not constrained right now.

i dont know if their data is bogus or not but I can tell you that japan has engineered their society with infection control in mind. if people are even the least bit under the weather they put on a face mask. Many people who directly interface with large numbers of people wear them all the time (clerks, train station employees etc). hygiene is very important. many more doors are automatic than in most of the world. anything that can be touchless usually is. when any authority even hints that they want their passengers/employees/citizens to do or not do something it is taken a command and followed rigorously.

I'm wondering if self-isolation along with a culture of face masks is why their numbers are so low. A single person wearing a cotton face mask wont move the numbers down at all but a majority of the population both retarding their exhalation of virulent loads and their inhalation of virulent loads will. Should also be emphasized that the philosophy behind face masks isnt "dont you make me sick" its "i really dont want to make you sick"

yea but we dont have any data as to why? is it because some number of them were over/under anesthetized? is it because of the triage criteria? I do agree that palliative care is a critical discussion because of the mortality rates for the very elderly-- some people are just to frail to ever have good outcomes from intibation.

by the way, the critically interesting thing in that piece from the lancet is that the rational for discouraging non invasive respiration is a lack of good masks and negative pressure rooms. These are problems where I think there has been an historical lack of imagination and are ripe for some novel solutions.

There are indications that one of the things that makes it so lethal is that the effect on the respiratory system makes patients susceptible to secondary infections, possibly bacterial. May be wrong, but if it’s true and this pans out it could turn the tides. Your skepticism is healthy but I hope this works out.

Thank you. This is the last bastion of the old internet. Please continue to keep it that way.

In italy its so bad they are triaging to the point of not even treating the worst/most elderly cases. In extreme circumstances projects like this could save lives, regulations be damned.

or use EVFs or hybrid EVF/OVFs in place of you glasses lenses. Could conceivably allow for AR glasses that would facilitate telescopic capabilities, once a million other roadblocks are overcome.

for things I use all the time and don't want to fuss with the disaster that is mobile browser tabs, native apps are vastly superior. I have even bundled up and sideloaded "apps" that are just a web view that is pinned to a specific page for some things just so I have a button I can press that always takes me to the same thing and has no potential for extraneous functionality

sounds like they might be doing that too https://www.macrumors.com/2020/02/07/macos-catalina-amd-apu-...

I had 5 screening pulls this year because of all the things involving an interstate move and changing jobs with different layers of background checks. In the process of getting financing for a house and I had to provide explanation and documentation that i wasn't hiding debt for each of them. It may not affect your various 'scores' but its still a pain in the ass.

fuck fuck fuck no. this whole site should be blacklisted

The govt can't even adequately audit the classified side of the house, why would they do any better with the unclass?

i have adhd and early in the morning and late at night (when my meds have worn off) my brain just doesn't work right. home automation has been a major game-changer for keeping me on schedule and not getting engrossed in something and looking up only to realize i need to be getting up for work in 2 hours. I have a whole bunch of time based and triggered automations for all sorts of things.The time I save is not the extra 14 seconds to shutdown the house, its the time I save keeping on a schedule so I can actually do the things I plan to do rather than getting distracted and snapping out of it at 4AM to find that I have taken apart my dishwasher.
