But it is written using the Web Audio API, support for which is now available in Firefox nightly builds, for example. At the moment the FF builds do not support the OscillatorNode used by this library, but when they do this should work fine.

We're working hard on the spec and its test suite to make it easy for other browser vendors to support the API, so hopefully we'll see support for it in more browsers soon.

Hi James,

I agree with the substance of your analysis on OpenDesk. I don't accept its extension to the WikiHouse project.

On OpenDesk, our aim has been to let people cut and customise the designs themselves. We weren't aware (before this thread) of a contradiction between NC and open source. We'll have to address this in our narrative.

On WikiHouse however, the project truly is and aims to be open source. All designs are released public domain. The goal of the project is to create a collaboratively developed open commons resource.

On both projects, I don't doubt that the design files we release aren't componentised enough and aren't in enough formats. However, we've carefully mastered the OpenDesk designs so they can be both cut from and re-modelled, and you can already see many structural components, as well as whole designs, in the WikiHouse library[1]. That there aren't more (and perhaps that designs aren't modelled more intelligently) is a reflection of our capacity, not our intention to restrict use.

See the WikiHouse constitution[2] and development goals[3] for more. Plus see an example OpenDesk download here[4].

James.

CSS px unit is not device pixel anymore. In this context 2x does not mean that the image is twice as big in px but that it should be used if the device pixel/px ratio is >=2
nemothekid is correct. We are not using CQL, we are using Thrift and are running with real columns.
Not sure about this. Sure FFOS isn't perfect, but I have a ZTE Open in my desk right now... for me that's way ahead of Ubuntu Edge.

It's too soon to tell, but looks like FFOS is happening. Right now.
"In particular, suppose MtGox"... ahm hold that thought. Now imagine that MtGox are out to destroy Bitcoin becaude they dont give a shit about it and the whole point of MtGox was to steal. Theyve succeeded and they arent giving back any money. No they arent going to lift a finger for the community or bitcoin.

Now step out of your bitcoin is awesome bubble and realize money is not only trust but also power and force to coerce some kind of fairness against these greedy assholes like mtgox who destroy for everyone else.

Yes, of course. Emacs is obviously and inarguably not immediately intuitive.
And it then takes you another month to get your first paycheck.

And what if that job doesn't want you to start for 2 weeks? Or more because they're doing a full background check?

And say freelancing's going great, but then your first client isn't as great as you thought and starts quibbling over the bill? Or they take 4 months to pay you because finance never received the PO or finance never got a copy of the invoice or finance only begins processing the invoice when it gets chased (which is finance speak for "we're complete bastards who always pay much later than the agreed payment terms, ha ha ha, fuck you")?

It depends on your commitments. If you can move back in with Mum & Dad or can couch surf a bit, then 6 months is perhaps unnecessarily careful.

When you've got a mortgage and life baggage, probably not.

Cell-level security would never make sense, which is why you need an application layer to perform queries and return and modify only data that a client has permission for.

Am I right that the database would be shared by all clients and that the application layer is essentially moved into the client? If so, this seems like a pretty silly architecture.
Personally, I've always started with the main text, using just a text editor (Vim, being my preference).

What I usually do (and I'll admit it seems archaic) is just put placeholders in the text where I'll need a picture/graphic or a code sample, and then add those later in whatever final tool I end up using for publishing the article (example: Windows Live Writer, for posting to my blog).

Works fine for me, because it lets me concentrate more on the text than on the format/appearance or whatever.
I can certainly see how Prime has gotten Amazon to get people shopping in newer product lines.

Before Prime, Amazon was just for books. Now, I've bought books, a few computers, DVDs, a whole set of golf clubs, a 22-foot stepladder, a lawnmower, and I have a standing order for shampoo every three months.

Even the stuff like the ladder and lawnmower were cheaper on Amazon than at Home Depot, I didn't pay sales tax, and it was delivered right to my front door.

It's lowered the barrier to purchase quite a bit -- friends will often recommend books to me during casual conversation, and I'll just pop out my phone and buy it on the spot knowing I can have it in a day or two to read.

> The government should have investigated it.

Governments did investigate it. That's what an election audit is.

The presidential election in Georgia is a good example of this. Georgia's election result from November was counted three times over. Georgia is confident the result is correct.

Nevertheless, Trump attempted to get the government of Georgia to commit election fraud for him. He wanted them to "find" an extra 11,780 votes for him.

Listen to the full one hour of Trump's phone call on the 2nd of January to Georgia's secretary of state Brad Raffensperger for yourself:

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/04/politics/donald-trump-geo...

Luckily for America, the government of Georgia stood up to Trump's attempt at election fraud and did not go along with it.

> The sitting president simply told it like it was

No. He has done nothing but lie to you.
The protocol isn't really the root issue with interoperability. It's identity. As a start you should be able to easily use your verified identities across the different systems.

Signal would probably be a poor base for an interoperability standard. Which flavour would you use? Signal Messenger, Matrix, OMEMO and allegedly WhatsApp all use the Signal protocol but can not interoperate at all.

Signal Protocol is also more complex than it needs to be. It has two levels of forward secrecy for example. It is basically all the crypto geekery of the last few decades packed into a instant messaging protocol. Something intended as an interconnection standard should be as simple as possible.

I dont have the book to hand, but what I remember from "Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook", cutting off communication lines (internal and external) is one of the first things to do in a coup. Because that severely limits the governments and attached agencies response, and confuses the members of the public in support of the incumbent. Next step is to detain all people in power opposed to you and occupy the legislative while cutting off physical halls of power to the un-initiated. Then you declare yourself as ruler (ideally using legal loop-holes available to you by controlling all, normally separated, powers). It all has to be done quickly as alternative communication lines will be established quickly and the outranged masses wont be controllable if they still have hope to restore the old regime.

There was a bit of talk of the storm on the Capitol to be something of a coup. But they did not cut off communication lines and lacked a lot of the organization you need to follow the coup d'Etat protocol. Although storming the Capitol was a display of power that is not in line of how I believe a democracy should be governed, but calling it a coup was a hyperbole in my opinion.

Putting the two together, if the president looses access to communication lines and then is being removed by the legislative and parts of the executive (vice-president), then that actually looks a lot closer to the definition of a coup as I see it.

Although separate ownership of all the media that is closing down on Trump would imply a coordinated shutdown of communication is close to impossible, weirdly the group-think makes it happen. And although it might not be centrally planned as it would happen in a traditional coup from the 20th century, the process is remarkably similar.

So I think if POTUS is removed from office now, then the US will need to get ready for a lot of disrupting semantics from the Trump supporters for a long time. Just because you cannot hear them _now_, does not mean it is solved. If there is momentum it will come back. Potentially worse. This could develop into the Dolchstoßlegende [0] of the US.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. You were completely right to call out my initial post, it was poorly worded.

Much as you said, regardless of the issue, we can often agree on what's right or wrong from a moral standpoint, but still it's intrinsically hard to view the core issue being fought for in the same light as we view the other side.

Generally speaking, I don't believe folks on the left want an unfair election system, nor that folks on the right want violent or discriminatory policing, but we each start with an assumption of which problem is more pressing, and from there it becomes easy to make several leaps of judgement.

Conveying nuance is hard... not just on mobile :) but across the board.

What I'm struggling the most to sort out here, is how I can feel that we all as a nation still generally want the same things on paper, and yet it can feel so much like we have nothing in common at all. Somehow, there's a large gap to be bridged there.
Because that wouldn't be a coup. The word means something pretty specific. Seizing control of the government. Not a courthouse, not a police station, or any other individual agency.

The entire government.

In this case, that was the goal. Keep the losing presidential candidate in power.
You would have the same problem in Rust/Tokio and many other languages. The compiler is not able to know which calls could block. Suppose you have this async state machine server on a single thread, super fast, but somewhere it opens a file synchronously, let's say on a network mount to make things worse. No way a purely static VM-free language can help against that. Go (see: goroutines) is able to automatically suspend at those points and continue execution elsewhere. It comes with a big runtime but you get what you pay for.
When did step 2 happen? Banning Trump? How could inciting speech that directly lead to violence and death be legal?

It provides more labor. Whether or not it uses more resources, and which resources, depends. But if you tax resources themselves, it doesn't matter.

I'd say tax non-renewable resources and externalities (e.g. CO2) most of all, for the same reason you tax liquor and cigarettes.
By your logic it sounds like we should be banning cities rather than banning guns. Additionally, it makes the comparison of the US and Italy invalid, because the two are in no way comparable in terms of population.

Let's try Washington, D.C. (population ~600,000) with almost 22 murders per 100k vs Houston, TX (population ~2 million) which had 11.8 murders per 100,000. Both are urban environments, and in this case the more populous one did not have a higher homicide rate.

But let's back up for a second and see if these differences are even meaningful. Comparing the overall rates for the US and and Italy (and assuming that all people are equally likely to be murdered), you have a 0.00001% chance of getting murdered in Italy and a 0.00005% chance of getting murdered in the US.
Because you're effectively taking unregulated medicines with similar mechanisms to standard anti-depressants?

I use Cucumber to write the API spec for our hypermedia API, it doubles as an end-to-end test which guarantees that the specs are never out of sync with our API implementation.
LZMA is slow to compress, indeed, but it's rather fast for decompression (given the compression ratio).

While bzip2 is faster at compressing and has lower memory requirements, LZMA can beat it at decompressing speed by large margins.

This is of course nowhere near LZ4.
Resources != Products; they're talking about taxing things like crude oil and lumber, not milk and eggs.
Pixi is the rendering engine used by Phaser. More relevant is the different physics engine Phaser supports (Box2D, P2 and its own lightweight arcade physics engine). Also Phaser is Typescript but distributed as JS. You can link it directly with Typescript too though which is why I like it a lot.

I think the consensus is to go with the "big blob of text" approach. You mentioned that postal workers are the only people qualified to parse addresses—let them do it. The validation done on your end shouldn't be much more than asserting that addresses contains non-whitespace characters.

I don't know how well this works in practice, but it's the most "correct" thing to do.

I've written a PostgreSQL protocol client in Limbo [1] that uses CSP / Channels ... long long ago in the time before Go-lang ...

I can say that libpq is not the best example of how to write a client. It uses all text, it doesn't use the asynchronicity very well.

I think there is some room in libpq for improvement, if only someone would take it on :)

Maybe I'm missing something, but that comparison looks like apples versus oranges, or more specifically JavaScript-side versus HTML-side. The React example looks like the JS-side only, while the Riot example looks like the HTML-side only. What am I missing?

edit: I see a touch of embedded script (i.e. handleSubmit) in the Riot example, but not nearly enough to replicate the JS code in the React example. And there is a <script> call, but it looks more like an Angular partial than an actual script.
But the hologram need not be a person! At least, it won't be once this use case makes sense. The hologram, will be an AI hologram.

> I think you miss the point.

I do get gwern's implication of fear being a gift. His applauding of fear was (presumably) in response to Rachel Feltman's (WashingtonPost's journalist) "a bad thing" appraisal of her lack of fear during those two incidents of being held at knifepoint and those two other incidents of being held at gunpoint. Whereas you completely miss the point I was trying to make. That, it matters not that in her entire lifetime she failed to feel afraid in those four instances (of being held at knifepoint or gunpoint) -- and we do not yet know if she actually handled them intelligently or not (i.e., had the time and energy to think through her responses instead of them being, say, flippantly knee-jerk) -- as they are nothing in the large scheme of an entire of life of being mostly happy. Say, she has lived for some 50 years with this condition, then she has been happy the whole 45 years. An ordinary "healthy person" would have been happy say 25 years with ordinary "healthy" incidents of fear, even trauma, peppered throughout their lifetime.

> She describes herself to be happy 9 out of 10 times because she is also unable to notice the real dangers [...]

What 'real dangers' are they (other than the four incidences noted above)?

> [...] real dangers that fear is there to help us handle.

How exactly does fear help you handle 'real dangers'? It seems that SM had no trouble handling those four incidents (of being held at knifepoint or gunpoint) admirably. Most "healthy people" on the other hand would cringe/freeze and even develop "traumas", much less have the energy to think through their responses.

> While it may be great to not feel afraid, as the article points out it also leads her to risky behaviour that most healthy persons would avoid.

You are merely speculating trying to justify your fear of lack of fear, unless by 'risky behaviour' you only refer to those four incidents (of being held at knifepoint or gunpoint) which this women seems to have handled admirably.

Being fearless is indeed under appreciated, even at HN.
The folks at laptop.org even have a shipping product that could be used for that.

I would like to give some context to everyone who doesn't come from Sweden.

>The following article [...] appeared in the Swedish publication Expressen.

Expressen is a known right-leaning news publisher. They are the Fox News of Sweden, you should keep that in mind.

Here is an example of the kind of trash you find in Expressen (taken from the article):

>I accuse you, the Sweden Democrats [...] you support a school system that increases segregation and allows jihadist schools run by people with links to Islamism and violent extremism

They're talking about muslim schools. What is said doesn't accurately represent reality nor is it non-partisan (obviously).

Sweden Democrats are the most right-leaning party in the Swedish Parliament, they don't like muslims (to put it mildly). Yet the author is blaming them for not going hard enough on the muslims community in Sweden.

It's a bit of a trend now with right-wing extremists in Sweden to focus on attacking muslim schools, as if having Arabic/Quran lessons apart from the regular school curriculum is equivalent to training a militia. This sort of language is not unlike what you would expect a neo-nazi to say about jews, that they are inherently a harm and seek to subvert society, because reasons...
MS might have many flaws, and you might ideologically disagree with many of their practices (hey, I do too), but if you want to pin blame, it's squarely on the attackers who chose to stage an attack to deliberately break people's Xboxes on Christmas. They chose to act in a way that kept that little brother from being able to use the system as a way to try to grab some marketing to advertise their DDoS as a service scheme.
Millions of servers run on all variants of Linux distro and every month we find a dozen of security vulnerabilities.

I mean everything from "our pre-existing Puppet manifest had its owner leave the company 6 months ago and no one here knows how to refactor it to work with Widget X" (a day or three's worth of work) to "we've given devs the keys to our AWS account six months ago, and our burn rate ballooned to $600k/mo. Please optimize our AWS environments to what we really need, lock down the Wild West our development team created, and maybe spiff up our automation a bit so it's more hands-off and/or make it so we don't have to memorize IP addresses for everything" (N months to a year of work, depending). I will definitely check out AirPair though, thanks for the link!
