This comment breaks HN's civility rule twice. First, you insinuated astroturfing (or commenting in bad faith). That's not allowed without evidence. Merely happening to disagree with someone is not evidence. Second, you invoked (allegedly) poor English to cast aspersion on someone. That's pretty low, given how many non-native speakers HN has and how poorly the rest of us would do in most other contexts.

Please treat others more respectfully on this site.

I always tell my clients that mastering is the final step in mixing: it's the part where the mix engineer gives the mix to a different engineer in a different studio with a different system and different ears and different gear and different opinions to put the final touches on the 2-track mix. The tools are almost always various flavors of EQ and compression, but the most important part is all the "different" stuff.

The loudness wars of the late 1990s and continuing somewhat today I believe are a relic of CD (and FM) audio and will pass now that we have ubiquitous volume leveling playback devices.

It's well understood in audio (and demonstrable in ABX testing) that "louder sounds better." If your CD is mastered a little louder than the other guys, then when you change it (or when your CD jukebox changes it) then your CD will "pop out" more, be heard better, and sound better.

Enter volume leveling.

When the playback device matches the playback volume of two songs, the one which is overcompressed will sound quieter and yet be more fatiguing, while the one which has better dynamics will actually feel louder and punchier yet be less fatiguing. Volume leveling actually stands "louder sounds better" on its head: louder will not sound better. In a strange way, iTunes / Replay Gain is helping to bring back audiophile mastering into vogue. And you can tell - mastering has definitely changed for the better in the last five years. There's a lot more attention to dynamics, especially with artists learning about having to master their digital audio for vinyl, and how that changes things.

I wrote about the loudness war in 2002 in "Over the Limit"[0] and about the end of the loudness war in 2009 in "Over the Limit 2"[1]. In OtL2 I predicted it would be another decade - until 2019 - before the loudness war finally could be declared over.

From what I've seen I think I'm on track to hit my prediction. I'm glad.

> I'm not saying many teams do this, but I am disputing that no teams do this.

If you watch Herb Sutter's talk at CppCon 2015, at a given point he asks the audience how many know and use such tools.

It is one of the most important C++ conferences, usually attended by the most savvy C++ developers in the world, the amount of the audience saying that they do use such tools was ruffly 1%!

1% shows how much the majority of C and C++ developers, or their employers, care about writing proper safe code in those languages.

The only way out is moving to programming languages whose safety must be explicitly turned off, and not having to be explicitly turned on, because most won't bother taking the effort to turning it on.

You're right that this lawsuit will have the positive effect of causing people to be less likely to publish sex tapes.

But it will also have the negative effect of causing news companies to be constantly afraid of publish anything negative about a rich person, because that person might secretly fund lawsuits against them. Gawker is being sued for 2 other things besides this.

Web Project Management: Issue Tracking
Here is my (albeit limited experience) advice:

1. Use PostgreSQL, or MySQL with InnodDB for row level locking

2. Huge tables should be sharded with the shard key being a prefix of the primary key.

If you need to access the same data via different indexes then denormalize and duplicate the index data in one or more "index" tables.

3. Do not use global locks. Generate random strings for unique ids (attempt INSERT and regenerate until it succeeds) instead of autoincrement.

4. Avoid JOINs across shards. If you use these, you won't be able to shard your app layer anymore.

5. For reads, feel free to put caches in front of the database, with the keys same as the PK. Invalidate the caches for rows being written to.

It's actually pretty easy to model. You have the fields for the data. Then you think by which index will it be requested? Shard by that.

Note that this will still lead you to a huge centralized datacenter!! Because your authentication happens at the webserver level and then you just have all the servers trust each other. While it is a nice horizontal architecture, it leads to crazy power imbalances like we have today. Consider instead making it a distributed architecture, where the shards turn into domains, and each user on each domain has to auth with every other domain. But your network can then be distributed without a single point of failure. What's more, local area networks will be able to host your app and be quick without the signal bouncing halfway around the world.

Yes, schema wise that's pretty close.

However, last time I looked that didn't seem like a use case InfluxDB invested a ton of effort optimizing for, especially if you tried to store a lot of separate "event histories" either as separate measurements or by using tags. By "a lot" I mean 100K-100M histories. It may have improved since.

Besides, there is somewhat fundamental tradeoff between allowing efficient realtime granular writes, which I believe a priority for InfluxDB, and building efficient indexed store for millions of histories/event trails, which is more of a TrailDB use case. Kind of OLAP vs OLTP.

By sending BTC to other addresses,including a small fee, you broadcast transactions across the Bitcoin network, nodes collect these transactions in their mempool.

Every 10 minutes a miner finds the answer to a problem, and collects as many high fee paying transactions that will fit into a block of 1mb, awards himself 25btc and collects the fees. Miner broadcasts this block. Other nodes receive it,verify its validity and relay it.

Work then begins on finding the next block by miners.
The interactive division has burned through billions and billions of dollars since it was founded in the late 90s.

You raise an interesting philosophical/linguistic question about the nature of "offensive." Certainly one has to exist to be offended, but I'm not 100% sure that means that something cannot be "offensive" if there is no one to be offended. For example, if you make a crude remark about a baby, or someone who does not understand your language, have you not said something that is "offensive"? Academics could argue about this (in peer-reviewed journals) for years.

Regardless, you're absolutely right that the Vikings should have been listed also—can't believe I missed that one!

* "AWS DMS doesn't map some PostgreSQL data types, including the JSON data type. The JSON is converted to CLOB."

It could be getting this wrong if his error function is calculating linear data from the given image pixels, which are in the totally not linear sRGB colorspace. That would make it badly underestimate any error in a dark image.

Quick check of the PIL docs doesn't mention gamma compensation, so they probably forgot about it. People usually do.

I'm surprised that Cars holds ~75% on Metacritic and Rotten Tomatos, while Inside Out and Toy Story and others have >95%.

I see Cars as a film that appeals to children primarily, while the others are "family" movies in the best sense.

It always seemed to me that Cars was intended to be a more child-oriented movie, but I don't know that it should suffer for that critically.

Maybe it w as hoped to be a film on the same level as those others, but I can't imagine anybody read the script and thought it would be.

Ask HN: How to overcome the paralysis of too many interests?
I'm not a programmer. I'd like to learn programming to the point where I'm skillful enough to start a startup. But I have so many interests that I can't focus on programming. I'd like to be a writer, and write a novel. I'd like to learn about investing. And so on. How can I delete these many interests and focus on one?

I'm asking the HN community because you all seem smart and I believe programmers are very natural high-focus people.

As long as it's Microsoft causing the upgrade prompt, it's their problem. As long as the (terrible) drivers worked before the upgrade, it should check that drivers are available for the hardware before trying to go through with the upgrade.

There's an analogous situation with Android phones; Google doesn't try to upgrade every phone to the newest release, because they can't guarantee it will work afterwards.

I'd still blame the OEMs, of course, when the hardware stops working after installing from a retail Windows 10 disc. But in that case it was from a user-initiated action, at least.

A co-op or mall charging rent is not much different than a city or state charging taxes. "Men with guns" will come evict you if you don't pay your rent.

It's not even remotely the same thing. In the mall case you very explicitly entered into a contract with the mall owner, with clearly defined terms regarding the rights and responsibilities on both side. Taxation, on the other hand, is done by agencies which presume the authority to tax anybody within an area defined by lines drawn on a map by men who are long dead. As Thomas Paine put it (paraphrasing a bit) "by what principle can the dead bind the living?"
Speaking of security on Kubernetes, it's worth noting that most of the "Getting Started" guides (e.g. [0]) to help you set up a cluster result in completely unauthenticated API servers.

This means that by default, anyone can do anything they want with your cluster.

There are no warnings, no suggestions that turning on the much better TLS based authentication would be a good idea (or even how to do it), no nothing.

Be very careful with Kubernetes.
