A new model to explain dark matter based on observations of a distant galaxy that is far more evolved than it should be according to the standard model at such a distance.

This makes me feel very insignificant. In very dense galaxies, imagine the evolutionary cycle of living beings with a quicker evolutionary timescale?

If you think so, you have a lot of learning to do. The Democrats are just as guilty of disgusting corporatism.

Remember when Bloomberg ran as a Democrat?

I wouldn’t exactly call that a deep dive.

I’ve been shit-talking Elon’s (absolutely boneheaded) decision to intentionally eschew system-redundancy in systems that are critically responsible for human life for years now. Since he never missed an opportunity to show off his swastikar in MANY of his previous videos, I had assumed Mark Rober was a sponsored member of the alt-right intellectual dark web. But I’m pleasantly surprised to see that this video is a solid (WELL-justified) smear. 👌

EFF is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mark Klein, a bona fide hero who risked civil liability and criminal prosecution to help expose a massive spying program that violated the rights of millions of Americans. Mark didn’t set out to change the world. For 22 years, he was a telecommunications technician for AT&T, most of that in San Francisco. But he always had a strong sense of right and wrong and a commitment to privacy. Mark not only saw how it works, he had the documents to prove it. When the New York Times reported in late 2005 that the NSA was engaging in spying inside the U.S., Mark realized that he had witnessed how it was happening. He also realized that the President was not telling Americans the truth about the program. And, though newly retired, he knew that he had to do something. He showed up at EFF’s front door in early 2006 with a simple question: “Do you folks care about privacy?”  We did. And what Mark told us changed everything. Through his work, Mark had learned that the National Security Agency (NSA) had installed a secret, secure room at AT&T’s central office in San Francisco, called Room 641A. Mark was assigned to connect circuits carrying Internet data to optical “splitters” that sat just outside of the secret NSA room but were hardwired into it. Those splitters—as well as similar ones in cities around the U.S.—made a copy of all data going through those circuits and delivered it into the secret room.

I’m hoping NixOS figures out these inevitable growing pains. The problem they’re having has a ton to do with flakes and Eelco not wanting to accept the community’s pushback on this feature. So, he implemented the feature in his “upstream” project.

I use it all the time but I’m told it is unstable.

Now do Netanyahu

Personally, I’d love to see this feature.

Right now, I build Haskell using cabal because I found the IOHK Haskell.nix implementation broken when I reached for it for a project with pkg-config dependencies.

Similar deal with purs-nix when Purescript rewrote spago and broke purs-nix.

It would be nice to finally build these two languages in Nix again with that lovely determinism I’ve grown so comfortable with.

Found myself muttering, “OP should try Purescript” to myself with every point the author made.

[–] harryprayiv@infosec.pub 4 points 1 week ago

Welcome!

I highly recommend forking an advanced config and refactoring it to do what you want.

I find that Haskell and similar purely functional languages that use category theory pair well with situations that rely on parallelism. Especially Haskell because it is immutable and lazy (or Idris or Agda with their dependent types to prevent invalid circuits perhaps).

Circuits as Bicartesian Closed Categories

Maybe someday this stuff will be approachable to Arduino level tinkerers. Until then, I like to watch this guy make magic https://youtu.be/Q8K0aeqDBiI

No problem.

Trust me, it’s worth it. You’re probably right about the WiFi module. I don’t even remember them mentioning it, honestly.

It’s probably a closed, obfuscated module. Still, I stand by my initial assessment that I’d trust whatever they chose a hell of a lot more than a China-based company like Espressif.

I can’t wait for end to end open hardware but perhaps I’m a tad breathless over something that doesn’t apply to this article.

I think I’ll use this for custom setups for non-techies.

I’m attempting to build a delay pedal that does only one thing: when you stomp the button, it plays back 30 seconds of high quality audio from 30 seconds ago.

I think it would need to be continuously overwriting some type of eeprom array. Does anyone have any advice?

I bought a few Teensy audio shields to try and prototype it. But I obviously need to understand how to achieve such a continuous rewrite on EEPROM or some other form of quick rewrite memory.

If someone could guide me to the right information, I’d be most grateful.
