You may be interested in the glycemic index [1] which represents how much a particular food causes your blood sugar to spike compared to pure sugar. Based on a cursory search, the GI for an apple is somewhere in the 30s which is way less than a candy bar which can be 70+.

This is basically what all of the south Bay Area is.

That sounds interesting. Could you link some sources where I can read more about Ritchie's design decision for C and Unix?

Glad to see Google keeping this alive! I benefited a lot from participating in the GSoC program twice and I probably wouldn't be where I am right now without it! It can't be overstated how valuable the mentorship and open-source community experience is for programmers in the beginning of their careers.

Great, sure. But the motivation is not purely altruistic, is it? I imagine this is a great recruiting vehicle. (Which is... good for them, not dinging them for it.)

I don't think it is for recruiting which is such a missed opportunity for them. I participated in two GSoC and interviewed with Google later. Somehow, they were the one which gave zero fuck to GSoC or anything else in the CV and just focused on their coding round for evaluation.

It may not be purely altruistic, but seems like a net good. Participants aren’t under any obligation to work for Google, and for some participants working for Google might be a desirable opportunity! If not, this is a chance to get experience working on impactful open source projects and get paid for it.

Personally I think it’s great when incentives align this way.

It's rarely altruistic but this seems very win/win to me. Talent without a record can prove their chops and get hired above their on-paper experience level, Google gets an additional avenue of recruitment.

A few years ago GSoC students could get directly get an interview at Google, but the rule has been changed since then and I don't think they use GSoC for recruiting anymore.

I love the integrated terminal too! It's such a great idea which is now integral to my workflow.

That website is incredible. I had no idea I would be so engrossed in reading about the size and shape of map labels and the shape of building in a phone map application.

This was a great resource when I was learning about the KF, EKF, and UKF last year :-) Thanks a lot for making this!

I really like Skydio's product but they've priced themselves out of being a competitor to most of DJI's drones. Of course, all the hardware for their autonomy engine (Jetson TX2 with six cameras) isn't cheap. I'd still love to see a cheaper version (maybe $400?) with a less sophisticated autonomy engine compete with Mavic Mini. If they could open-source the design and allow for custom flight/autonomy code, it would be a superb value proposition.

This reminds my childhood computer stories and how I got into using Linux in 10th grade. My parents installed the K9 Website blocker on Windows which was (is?) a pretty strong domain blocking tool. Let alone anything NSFW, Youtube and Facebook were blocked too! I learned a bit about dual booting online and with a freshly burned CD of Ubuntu 12.04, I was determined not to screw things up. I was pretty happy I installed Ubuntu safely and it was a relief to find that the parental website blockers of Windows had no equivalents on Ubuntu. I often think that I probably wouldn't have had a headstart on using Linux and programming had it not been for wanting to circumvent website blocking tools.

This is awesome. I'd love to read the SD card repair post, because I have a Model 3B+ which died four weeks after I bought it in a quadcopter accident. My suspicion is that the problem is solely with the micro SD card reader as the card was bent in half when I retrieved it. The power LEDs still turn on, but USB boot doesn't appear to be working either.
