I agree, REAPER is very highly regarded in music production circles.

Anecdotically, I have been producing electronic music as a hobby for many years now, and while I own much more expensive programs (e.g. Ableton Live Suite which cost a staggering AU $999) I find REAPER to be an extremely enjoyable piece of software and I have found myself using it often.
Oh come on, that's a BS argument in the age of FB and Palantir. Get real instead of ignoring the fact of technology. I have radical ideas about governance but 'shrink the state' is about as sensible as 'force people to be good.'
By the sounds of it, you'd use this as an overview and use something like Swagger for the actual details of each endpoint.

I buy 3M Disposable Earplugs in 80 packs from Home Depot, but I actually also like the fairly standard Hearos that you see around. My recommendation if you find them tight is Mack's Dreamgirl Soft 30dB, as they are extra small but are still made out of material almost (but not quite) as good as the Hearos and 3M. (I swear the 3M are slightly better than the Hearos, btw, and you can buy them in tiny packs as well to try out, but I might just be crazy and they might literally be identical to Hearos.) The one thing to absolutely avoid is the "Sleep Pretty in Pink" variety of Hearos: I don't know what the hell they did to them but they just don't work correctly. (And you probably want 32dB if you go with normal size, not 33dB, which are much larger. I wear those on plane flights, dental work, and parties, but generally not for sleeping or random work.)
Yeah... I mentioned that exception in the parenthetical statement.

> So how did Vancouver tame its roaring housing market?

Tamed? The article makes it sound like over a decade of faster-than-inflation price appreciation has been wiped clean with a one year decline of 3.7% and cooling sales.

The real estate market moves in very long cycles due in part to the difficulty of trading in an out of it. Believe what you want, but I suspect now is not the time to dive into the Vancouver real estate market.

Also, no mention of China and the strong desire of many citizens to move their money out of the country and into offshore assets like Vancouver real estate:

Embarrassing Ways We Drive
This is a neat idea; it's sort of an entity-relationship diagram or class diagram for API resources.

In fact, if your audience is familiar with these sorts of diagrams, I wonder if it'd be more readily scannable if you denoted the cardinality of the relationships with the sort of notation you'd see in ERDs or CDs? (Personally, I'm a big fan of Crow's Foot.)
No, they aren't. That's the point. We're not talking about yelling over someone while they're talking or even using a private publication to present only a set of opinions that fits with some agenda. The specific point being made was about using violence, destruction, hate, and fear as a means to silence people.

Calling me names (or other people) doesn't make what you're saying valid. It wasn't an effective tactic for the left during the election and it's not an effective tactic in this conversation.

At any rate, I don't think you're arguing against points that I've actually made. This sounds more like a response to some hypothetical response that you were anticipating before I responded.
The x86 example is particularly cute:

xadd eax, edx

implements the Fibonacci series in two machine instructions (notice eax and edx have 514229, 832040 in them after you run the example, the 29th and 30th Fibonacci numbers).

"including arrests at protests and charges that do not end up in convictions"

I'm not sure what is, but I am sure that secret arrests and secret trials are not the answer. My first thought was to argue due process but typing it out made this contradiction inescapable.
Kettling is very typically used for mass arrests, even if charges are not filed against everyone arrested. This has happened in Oakland, where I live, multiple times in the last five years. And the fact that an arrest without a conviction can be reported to employers under this FBI program is one of the problems noted in the article.

Terrorism is quite a word for a situation in which nobody was seriously injured, as far as I know. And terrorism of the variety that involves killing people is already less likely to kill someone in the U.S. than a lightning strike. Picking the black bloc as the "very real problem... to focus on", in that context and with everything else going on in the world--including the serious damage done to many thousands of people by cruel and violent policies justified by reference to the threat of terrorism--strikes me as a very poor choice of priorities.
I was at that protest in Berkeley and your claims are exaggerated. I've written here extensively on what was objectionable about the speaker's visit there and why I think the protests were justified. You should consider that a supporter of that speaker shot someone at a similar event only days earlier. If you are concerned about violence as you claim then I think rather outranks some broken windows and a burnt-out generator.

That's correct. The 30 year mortgage wouldn't exist if it's weren't for the gov't coming in and backing them.

Before the Great Depression, mortgages were completely private – homeowners would generally string refinances one after another, and mortgage terms were less than 5 years. It wasn’t until 1934 that the Federal Housing Administration stepped in with an insurance program on mortgages, an amortization plan, and terms of 15-20 years (much like today, many mortgages are insured based on standardized programs – say, 30 years, fixed interest, 80% loan to value).

I could see that being especially troublesome in a system where you didn't have visibility into the repaint algorithm. Old skool UNIX used to start 'saving' damage events when they came in quickly so that it could dispatch them all at once. When your system did that you could lean on the delete (or backspace) key and it would start deleting characters and then just stop, and when you lifted the delete key it would suddenly have 15 - 20 whatever number of keys go away.

The other place it got annoying is when the system had a 'screen flash' when the input buffer was full. If your auto-repeat time was faster than the buffer drain time you would start getting flashes intentionally by the screen to tell you it was dropping input keys.

If you have one of the ST Micro 469i disco boards you can play with this using my 'term' demo in that repo. That implements a 25 x 80 "terminal" screen on the attached 800 x 480 screen. I've not yet connected it to micropython, but that is the intention.

There are no cons of deleting a facebook account, IMHO you can keep your private life private. Concerned people are not using Facebook for the privacy reasons.

We have watched this country destroy other countries one after the other, prop up the main global ideological and financial sponsors of terrorism and then diabolically spend billions of dollars building a surveillance state at home in response while pretending to be the good guy.

How can any responsible citizen let their own country do this to other countries, allow a surveillance state to be built in the first place inspite of all the revelations at great personal cost and allow the unencumbered growth of a war mongering military industrial complex at home?

The business as usual tones of these discussions in the media and the constant judging of others like China or Russia for authoritarianism reflects a troubling dissonance and denial about the real consequences of our actions both at home and abroad. We are not just destroying these countries, we are killing hundreds of thousands of people, disrupting millions of families for generations, decimating their infrastruture and way of life and putting them back decades. These is the definition of crimes against humanity. Can we really afford to be blase and unconcerned anymore.

Anyone can guess the inevitable consequence of trillions of dollars of spend and adding millions of employees co-opted into the surveillance state. Responsible citizens and anyone who believes in freedom, democracy and peace cannot let this slide any longer.

In the US, you can get a 30 year fixed mortgage. Basically you set your interest rate when you take our the loan and it's doesn't change for 30 years.

It's really quite amazing if you think about it.

I know a guy who refinanced a few years back at 2.89%. That's insane as it's barely above inflation. He's basically borrowing money for free.

If inflation goes up to 5-7% over the coming years, his rate will stay at 2.89%, drastically decreasing the cost to pay it back.
Is it only clickbait if factually incorrect? Wouldn't that make the term redundant given that such a title would also be misleading?

Note that we're currently engaged in an unhelpful meta-discussion about whether or not the title is clickbait, which IMO is exactly what the guidelines are designed to prevent.

While I didn't say so earlier, I largely object to the needlessly inflammatory word "stumped" which perpetuates the meme that patients frequently know better than doctors.

This case is an interesting exception, not the rule. There's a debate to be had about the fact people do indeed know their own case history than their often time-starved doctors, but whether or not the article has merit, the title is a distraction.

This is interesting, because it reveals the reason Windows Services for Linux gets some terminal things wrong - it's just emulating a Linux kernel, and they haven't done this bit the same. Running

Is is possible that although neural nets can overfit as this paper shows, practitioners just stop training early before this happens? And/or they use a validation set? Would that be enough to explain the good generalization despite the huge number of parameters
Yeah, it is definitely a weird time we're moving into.
It's how it's been done in Canada for the last century. Normally interest rates don't change that drastically and if they do go up it's due to inflation which is usually reflected in a salary increase.

What would be really terrifying would be another period of stagflation (no growth, high inflation). You could see your salary stay the same, but your mortgage payments increase by 20-40% when you refinance.

There was a Byte article around 1982 presenting a text editor in Z80 assembler that worked just that way: rerender the view on every keystroke. I was impressed -- "wow, it's that simple?" Of course, this was with memory-mapped textmode display, not a serial terminal, but it felt audacious to me to 'waste' that much computing for simplicity.

The article included the source code of the whole editor. That much assembly code in a magazine was unusual even then.

Yup, I agree on the 'smaller architecture' bit.

One more point: I find that there are a lot of very common things that we, as developers, have not 'standardized' on - but if we did, it would be beneficial.

The underscore/lodash JS libraries are great examples of this.

They are not just a bunch of 'helper functions' - they are really a series of new 'functional keywords' that in a way represent a new paradigm in software: we all get used to these 'mini patterns' and call them the same thing, and when used in code they can make things a lost simpler.

Map, reduce, find, each, pull, filter etc. etc. - at first glance it would seem compulsive to jam all these into some code - but once the developers are familiar with them ... guess what - they become almost part of the programming language itself.

So I think this is a pretty good example of a 'meta' way to facilitate simplicity: agree on names for very common patterns, and abstract them away with tools or linguistic constructs.
> I think you're also wrong that local governments are frequently committing abuses; the federal government seems to do that much more frequently

I think I read a study not too long ago that indicated state and local governments actually had much higher corruption than the federal government. I tried to find it now; the best I could come up with was an article from nymag [1]. It's an interesting read, and one of the interesting tidbits it notes is that state house elections track US house elections with a correlation of 0.96, in other words, much less accountability at that level. Perhaps one of the reasons why the federal government seems more abusive than local governments is that it gets more media attention.

They are, of course, a gambling app. But so is a significant part of "investnemnt" activity.

Some instruments have more money playing with their futures an options than with the underlying assets. And more often than not in these cases, money changes hands but no securities. At the end of the day, it's all the same. These "gambling apps" have much worse probabilities, but the gambler's ruin is the same as in the main market, only faster.
You're conflating the shell and the terminal. The shell is a running process, the terminal (or tty) is essentially an input-output device connected to the kernel. If you want to see what I mean, open a terminal and run the `tty` utility. It will print the device file for your current terminal (Probably a `/dev/pts/` entry). If you write any data to that 'file', it will appear in your terminal, and if you read from that file you'll get completely unfiltered input from the terminal (Unfiltered as in you simply see the keys as they are pressed. If you backspace, you'll see a backspace character - no line editing).

The kernel acts as the gatekeeper between the input/output of the processes running on a tty, and the input/output of the tty device itself. In 'raw' mode, the kernel simply takes the input from the tty and sends it as input to the running process, and then takes the output from the running processes and sends it as output to the tty device. The kernel still isn't completely pointless in this instance though, as it does provide some other facilities.

But it doesn't have* to do that. In 'cooked' mode (The default mode), the kernel will allow line-editing. It does this by buffering the inputs from the tty device (And writing them back to the tty device, so they appear on the screen) without actually sending them to the running processes until you press return.

The result is the programs like `cat`[1] which do nothing more then call `read()`, and send the buffer to `write()` still allow line editing features like backspace - even though the program itself has no concept of line editing (or even lines at all).

It should be clarified that modern `bash` does operate in raw mode, and handles all the line editing itself (The `readline` library also does this - I can't say for certain if `bash` uses `readline` internally or not, I haven't checked). Unix utilities like `cat` though don't change tty settings and thus are generally operating in `cooked` mode (You can change these settings via `stty`, but it's generally not necessary).
