And can you name those lightweight tools, which work together nicely, use fewer resources and do almost everything foobar2000 does?

Here's a short list of requirements:

1. proper gapless-playback (which eliminates all GStreamer based players)

2. DSP support (during playback and when converting files)

3. ReplayGain support

4. Something like:
http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Title_...

which works everywhere (converter, tagger, searching, UI (columns, window title, status bar, ...), album art fetching, grouping, ...)

5. an SDK to allow equally powerful plugins

6. Custom keyboard shortcuts for everything (e.g. quickly switch the current DSP profile when you plug in headphones)

7. Auto-playlists

8. Automatically detect changes in the file system and update library accordingly

9. A powerful query language: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Query_...

10. CUE sheet support

I doubt race is major factor, simply lumping all the poor together is seen as a harmless way by politicians and authorities to show they are having effect. The numbers can be cherry picked to show whatever we like.

The biggest supporters of tough on crime/drug laws is the prison and police unions. this generates jobs in both fields and make for very effective bargaining chips when either position is threatened. There have been cases of the unions posting billboards near opposing politician homes!

The prison system isn't a private issue, it is primarily a government money machine that indirectly supports select politicians through union donations and intimidation. That is why it has been so hard to check
While yes it takes a lot of time to make a game the indie scene isn't interested simply because of unity's dominance.

The AAA scene is using their own engines or the unreal engine. While you can switch engines when creating a new game the incentive isn't there when you either already have licenses for the unreal engine and a small army of programmers who have mastered it.

People were expecting a shit to Unreal when they decided to make it free for education/take a 5 % cut. This shift hasn't happened...

A new book is not a perfect example of that, it's a shitload of work - very likely more work per dollar earned than a day job. Passive income is related to using capital rather than effort to generate money. If the IP of the book was passed down to his kids and they continued to make money off it, or enough money was made from it to surpass a regular working wage for the hours spent, maybe then it becomes "passive". Right now it's just a lot of underpaid effort on credit.

That chart says that "PC games" amount for maybe $2-4bn in revenue in 2014 compared to console games' $20bn - that order-of-magnitude difference doesn't sit well with me at all. Where's the source data for this chart? I find it hard to believe that mobile games generate 5x more revenue than PC games.

$width-in-terminal = $text.chars;

^- very likely wrong.

wcswidth computes the cell-width (or column-count) of a Unicode string, which is unrelated to the count of graphemes, EGCs or code points. For example, Latin characters are one cell/column wide, while for example many CJK characters occupy two cells/columns, while they are still one EGC.

A typical application is printing CJK things to a terminal mask, progress display or similar.

My site is only 1.5 years old. Revenue was stable that time. I think the biggest break was before that. But my site is also not "made for adsense" which was what google mostly penalized.

Its more like a forum, but not one. Users can post their own content and others can vote and comment that. Plus it has a huge searchable database.

The problem with static sites (i have those too) is that google loves site updates as often as possible. A site that is good ranked today can be killed by a more dynamic one next day.

This was done in Norway some years ago. With mixed success.

The government departments lost a most of their key people whom had no interest to uproot their kids and their own future career from the Oslo area. Especially as some department moved to some very small provincial fringe towns where future opportunities are limited. Departments moving to larger towns (Stavanger/Bergen/Trondheim) was probably less affected. And it did result in very large increases in travel budgets as meetings still mostly had to be held in Oslo (airport) with other departments and companies.

Though in theory it was a move I supported. To help decentralise and support local economy but also so e.g. fisheries department actually being in an area where fishing is important probably affect their policies etc. But it does come with a cost, they miss the quick collaboration across department and other industries, and most importantly reduced staff contribution in the (potentially very long) transitional period until new local competent people are up to speed. I think a lot of staff did not move and ended up working from home for parts of every week for a few transitional years before moving full time or most likely eventually a suitable person could replace them.

> I'm far more interested in math and geology...

Uh, normie here, so the following question likely has an obvious answer, but it sounds like you are bored not because of a lack of interesting problems, but a lack of capability to tackle interesting problems in your preferred problem domains. To my knowledge, we don't really empirically know what the earth is composed of beneath the crust. Could there be open problems that might happily engage you in the area of determining/cataloging the math behind using say, neutrino interactions with various types of geologic matter to put in the theoretical foundations to an empirical experiment to establish what we really are standing on top of? If not neutrinos, then perhaps you could work on other ways we might be able to harness what we know of particle physics to interact with the matter beneath our feet?

As beautifully weird and wonderful as the universe is, and as fractally complex as it reveals itself the more we look into it, I can't even imagine having the intellectual firepower you have and being bored. I'm constantly frustrated that I'm not smarter, and unable to absorb new material faster than I currently able; I could literally access and integrate new material like Data in Star Trek and still not be satisfied, because there simply isn't enough time to enjoy it all.
Contrary to the op's post there does exist tons of studies and literature for those very few high IQ children and teens with social problems.

The biggest and most wellknown study is the MHP Marburger Hochbegabtenprojekt from the 80ies.

First, the problem rate is very very low (the 0.1%):
"The study concludes with popular stereotypes. As a result, characteristics such as outsiders, aggressiveness, concentration problems, which are often attributed to high-achievers and high-IQ teens in popular media, are mere prejudices."

You're totally missing my point. I'm saying, even if your stock is "worth" $1 trillion, if you don't actually ever sell it, you haven't earned a single penny from it. It's only money when it's actually money. So my question was whether the OP was ever selling the stock or not.

The main difference is the plasma circulates.

With the donut, the problem is similar to trying to inflate a balloon that has a weak point in it. Blowing causes the weak point to inflate instead of the balloon.

Plasmas are electrically charged and have their own magnetic field. Trying to squeeze down on the plasma inside the donut shape to cause fusion causes the plasma's own magnetic strength to increase and counter the field being applied to it.

The stellarator works with the plasma's magnetic field instead of against it by spiraling it around in circles.

The HN FAQ[1] has the rules/guidelines. e.g.: " Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity.". It says guidelines, but you will be banned if you keep breaking those things.

I think this rule for HN is a great idea BTW.

> Wouldn't that be a good reason to invest some money abroad?

Yes, and I intend to do that someday. It's not trivial to do, however, while investing in the boring funds I mentioned is extremely easy for anyone with a bank account, and investing in government bonds is as easy as investing in stock. In particular, for both the funds and government bonds the tax is paid automatically, while if you invest abroad, you have to do the calculations yourself, and from what I've read they are not as simple. Not to mention the extra cost and risk of opening an account outside your country; for instance, the Brazilian customer protection laws won't apply to an account outside the country, for obvious reasons. All in all, it's a lot more research to do, with the extra risk of investing outside your home jurisdiction, for a much smaller return, and the only benefit being reducing your exposition to your own government - one I'll be always exposed to, since I live here (it could easily impose taxes on capital held abroad, for instance).

> But surely that's the interest rate that their central bank charges to the banks (which influences the interest rates banks pay/charge for savings/loans with them), not the interest rate that they are paying on their own government bonds? I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure those are two very different things.

It's complicated, but basically the government sets the SELIC rate target, and buys/sells government bonds so the SELIC rate moves towards that target. The SELIC rate itself is the interest rate banks pay each other for a one-day loan with government bonds as the guarantee. Finally, one of the government bonds (the LFT) pays the principal ajusted by the SELIC rate at its term. There is also the pre-fixed government bonds (the LTN), which pays a fixed value but is bought for less, the inflation-indexed NTN-B, which I already mentioned, and a few others.

As for why increasing the interest rate helps control the inflation, that's one thing I still don't quite understand. I just know that the government does increase the interest rate when the inflation gets above the target.

I have no idea whether this will help at all, but after staring at it for a while, I decided I had to try. I think it's VERY likely that a craving for a chemical such as alcohol or various drugs is learned by the brain and shares a property with such things as language learning, which is that early learning plants it deeply and indelibly in a rapidly developing brain--making it essentially native to the brain's structure--while late learning is relatively superficial.

Based on what I've seen, those who wait to start drinking until well into adulthood have brains that are MUCH more resistant to alcoholism.

The implication for you, then, is that if you can't get your sister to just join you in being a non-drinker, then at least persuade her to procrastinate her drinking as many years as possible and use the language-learning analogy if it helps: the LAST thing you want to do is become a "native drinker". You want it to be something always a little foreign and unnatural to your brain so you can push it away entirely should you ever choose to do so.

Again, this might be of no use to you in your personal situation (and sorry I can't be more useful), but if there's any way you can get her to wait until after college/university age, she won't be completely safe (no drinker is), but she will have MUCH more power than she has now.

You are correct that it is not passive income in traditional sense, but in HN, "the passive income" has come to mean something that generates automatic revenue after the initial work without requiring significant maintenance/upkeep work.

The prime example of passive income used here is patio11's Bingo Card Creator.

One also could say that in traditional investing, the upfront work is the research work to find right index funds or buying property in real estate investing. They might be less work than writing a book, but revenues e.g. from passive index fund investing are also significantly less than from writing a book, if your starting capital is small.

> The last few years, everything he's written seems goofy and childish.

What people don't seem to realize (also in Torvalds discussions) is that people simply wrote like that on the Internet up to around 2005-2008.

These people also produced most of the software that the millenials are now churning around or write middleware for.

What I find disturbing is the trend that millenials spend more time learning how to write glibly, appear mature on the Internet and in general sell themselves instead of writing truly new software.

How to Protect PC with Pattern Lock
I'm not a software dev or tech worker. But I hope you guys do this.

I may have just drunk too much HN kool-aid, but software devs seem to be criminally under-valued and often exploited (see Crytek thread on front page, for example). Then there's guys like Bezos who, after underpaying and exploiting you, will replace you with a machine-learning algo the second it is technically feasible and a net positive to the company bottom line.

I've also noticed some interesting features of the software development labour market: quite a lot of the work is creative in nature, you produce non-rivalrous products (i.e. my consumption of 'software x' does not block someone else's consumption), and the workforce is supposedly peppered with unusually talented individuals who produce 50-100x the value that the average worker does.

There are two other industries that have similar features: traditional screen entertainment (TV & Movie), and professional sports leagues. In both of these industries, the content producing workers (baseball players, actors) are invariably a member of an industry guild or union, and operate more like independent contractors than employees...

Food for thought.
Yeah, Scala's a bit of a mess right now, definitely not thrilled that the flagship web framework (Play) won't be supporting Scala 2.12 until the 2.6 release (i.e. 4-6 months from now), which is absurd given that pretty much the entire ecosystem has a 2.12 release at this point :\

As for typed alternatives, there's no substitute for Scala. Maybe Haskell or OCaml if you leave the JVM, but otherwise it's pretty much a language wasteland for anyone that's taken a dip in the ocean of Scala.

It has 5 fold symmetry. It's broadly a pentagonal shape (viewed from above) made up of the same piece repeated five times. It's actually rather simple and beautiful (to my eyes). I'd not have been surprised if the model they ran spat out some ridiculous random-looking shape that happens to fit some local minima. As it is, it's a fairly reasonable-looking twisted ribbon like shape.
