Not sure if that can be said in general.

The maintainer is cited complaining about people using a +1 - which is there to notify that a bug bites me too or i agree with something someone else wrote.
If the problem (which i looked not into now in detail, i just state this as general rule) is already described in excess, why should someone add more text?

If even someone already sent a PR and it’s not merged because the maintainer has other priorities?

Then i agree with the content(maybe not exactly the form) of the message: if you have no sufficient capacity anymore or will to continuously and properly maintain a widely used open source tool, hand over responsibility and power over publication and source control to someone or better a team that has.

Great power comes with great responsibility.

What is actually true is that comments that really say „go and fix that asap (i need that for my work which earns me money)“ are pretty egoistic.

Especially without offering any kind of help - be it detailed report and analysis, a patch or even less a readily prepared Pull Request including tests and adhering to the projects Coding and Contribution standards - that is really gross and against the spirit that we create Open Source together, there’s no producer/consumer relation.
And sure it’s said too many people behave as it was.
I could see how CS/similar degrees would be that way. I'd assume most STEM are?

For political science in at least one program it was 30-36 credit hours for a master's degree. PhD was the same thing with an additional 18+ elective hours and another 30+ combined class/dissertation hours, and then the actual dissertation. Classes with few exceptions consisted of "workshops" and "seminars" over various topics (terrorism, multinational corporations, etc), which almost all involved weekly topical readings (5-7 journal articles and book selections) and weekly/frequent writings on those readings with a substantial paper for the final, sometimes with a midterm. Independent hours were also common with 1 on 1 work with one of the professors over a chosen paper topic.

As I said, discussion in class was expected, so you couldn't really wing it, and you had to be prepared or it would be obvious in front of your professor an another 5-20 students. I'm guessing this format is semi-common in the humanities/social sciences, it was for a linguistics program I looked into. Tons of reading and writing with the intent of guiding your towards a weird unexplored niche.

Whilst Ableton Live has long been my DAW of choice I've been using Audacity since around 2004 and still use it today. Mostly it's quick edits on game sound effects: changing sample rate, bit rate, topping and tailing, fading, exporting MP3s.

When I master tracks in Ableton I also still use Audacity to export an MP3 version (that's probably just force of habit though - I imagine there's a better way of doing that these days).

I realise I could automate the MP3 export from the command line but it's infrequent enough that using Audacity to do it, edit the tags, and suchlike is probably the easiest option.

Live is a great DAW, and I really enjoyed FLStudio back when I used to run Windows at home, but for quickly hacking around with raw audio it's pretty hard to beat Audacity. Great software, and good to see it still under active development.

I fully agree with the above. There's a truckload going on in all these interfaces.

The thing people don't like here, which is absolutely true, is that if you want to use FLStudio, or Ableton, or even Cubase, and think you're going to succeed just by opening up the app and clicking around, you're wrong. You actually do need to use the tutorials and read the manual. (It's exactly the same if you buy any kind of complex pro audio hardware as well, from synths to guitar modelling tools like the Kemper Profiler.)

In my experience the documentation for FLStudio and Live is great. Full on, stellar fantastic. And there are a million quick tutorials from all kinds of people on YouTube to help. You just have to be willing to learn and invest the time to get the results you want. These things are not intended to be the audio equivalent of Instagram: for that you should look elsewhere (I'm not sure where actually).
I skipped through video, got bored at the beginning, jumped to middle etc. I found noisy students annoying - seriously, "I draw rectangle" and they go emotional ooooh? It is disruptive. On one hand he went slowly, on the other it felt like a rush where you have no space to think for yourself.

Sorry to be negative. It was just really not my thing.

Maybe PPT tells bad story, but it still can tell the information you came to tell and give people insight into what you came to give them insight into. It allows to do that to people who are good at their jobs, but not entertainers. That is great in my opinion.
I think it's the same for startups. Sometimes you aren't making enough money yet. Maybe your spouse is telling you you should work on something else. But if users keep taking the time to write in and say thank you, you need to persevere. That's my situation at least [1].

I think you'll find limit orders limit the price while they're executing. Say I place a $10 million MSFT limit buy order at $80, that means that until my $10 million is used up (the order is "filled") the price cannot drop below $80.

Conversely if I place a $1B sell order for $1100 (ought to be close to what happened here) the price cannot rise above $1100 until that amount of money has been extracted out of the market.
If an automatic control system can blow up a reactor so can the manual one. You have a problematic design issue in both cases. You can also still assign someone to keep an eye on the reactor in case things go bad an have that person pull an emergency stop or warn the guy in charge. There is no reason to relay every little speed change through several people.
We're nowhere near the theoretical limit.

Biological brains are much more energy efficient (up to 100,000x depending on who you ask) than our current offerings, and beyond that one can make an entropic argument as to how much energy information processing should require, to which the answer is "not much".

I've toyed with making some kind of interpreter for Go. Something that integrates well with it, giving access to all the libraries, channels, goroutines and such. Discussing this with an acquaintance, we decided the best scripting language for Go was... Go. It is interesting to see that you've headed in the same general direction, though you've thought things through much further than we did.

I'll have to try it out.
Well, for starters, the SHA256 signatures are on both the Audacity website and its FossHub page. You can check if both places match, which makes it less likely to be from an untrusted source. They even have a page explaining how to check the signature.

If you're on macOS, before mounting a disk image the system will verify its checksum. Additionally, the default security settings only allows applications from the app store and identified developers. You can use the codesign tool (codesign -dv --verbose /Applications/Audacity.app) to verify the code signature as well as display the signing identity. In this case, it's signed by Paul Licameli, which is the author of this blog post. With that said, it's not foolproof, as the TeamIdentifier is not publicly posted anywhere, someone could possibly create a Developer ID with his name.
Oh, man: MED and then OctaMED (when it eventually landed on a magazine cover CD) were my trackers of choice for creating music for the games I was always tinkering with back in the early 90s, and arguably the reason I got back into music production as hobby in the late noughties.

How would you force an arbitrary program to use a software proxy for all network traffic?

The thing is this isn't just about network interactions. By taking a quick scan of the code you also (1) might learn something new, (2) can see the athors general attitudes to things, (3) might spot some other nasty activity (does this program hot load code from a remote source, try to obscure what it is doing, scan the file system? Etc)

Just look at Ableton Live 10 which has just been announced. Granted, it is an evolution, not revolution, but that's what happens when the people who make software care about efficiency and familiarity (instead of novelty and trendiness).

As a music app developer myself, I can say that UI design for music software is a completely different beast than "general" UI design.
It’s predicted statistical failure rate in aggregate for the drive model. Two drives running for 24 hours is 48 hours for MTBF purposes, so scale MTBF by the number of drives. 1,000 drives would expect to have one failure per 104 days. 10,000 drives would expect to have one failure about every week and a half. It’s not “half these drives will run 2.5 million hours.” I agree, the “mean” is confusing until you know that. It also doesn’t predict low quantities well, including 1, for obvious reasons. The larger the quantity gets, the better the prediction tends to get IME. Backblaze has published work on this.

Failure rate is also independent of lifetime. Drives have other measurements for lifetime.
I use both Live and Audacity, they are just not comparable. Audacity is an audio editor, not a DAW.

When the calculated result starts exceeding what is reasonable or makes any sense. It varies, and is a gut feeling. The more you have, the better.

Having 100 of this model would predict a failure about every three years (but that doesn’t mean it’d take 300 years to fail all of them). I’d be suspicious of a three year calculation, but it very well might turn out to be accurate. Remember that lifetime and failure rate are independent metrics. They’re warranted for five years, which is probably close to their predicted lifetime, and one drive of 100 failing in that time is certainly plausible.

Having 10 basically implies none of them will fail within a five-year lifetime. Again, plausible, but I think less likely.

> Just like if I have a splitter plugged into the wall and two USB cables attached I can charge those two devices as fast as if there was one item plugged in. So why wouldn't this be faster?

Because with your method you are doubling the power.

Imagine you have one charger with a fixed output of 10W (2A @ 5V). Now you have a USB splitter cable which allows you to plug two devices into the same charger.

What happens? Most likely both devices will charge at 1A (5W) instead of a single device charging at 2A (10W). The power output of the charger doesn't magically increase to 4A (20W) because you plugged in a USB splitter cable.

Increasing the number of battery cells is equivalent to adding more splitter cables to the charger. The input power doesn't change, but the power to each cell (device) is decreased proportionally to the number of cells (devices) drawing power.
This is an utterly peculiar statement. It’s phrased in a way that suggests you think enabling concentration camps is a superior moral choice to refusing to do business with Nazis.

You can copy and paste in a CLI as well. I often chain pbcopy/pbpaste (OS X, I used similar but differently-named commands on Linux) into scripts rather than temp files or input files. And ultimately, that's what a pasteboard is: a temp file, as used by CLIs for ~70 years.

I think around express 3 the guys decided to go with a modular approach and decouple the server from any of those heavy ( render ) libraries, as well as body-parser ( once it was core module in express itself ).

My really friendly feedback is that I think express carries so much experience that it will be really hard to replace it with something so monolithic. I use express for REST APIs as well as full web app, where I need no render engine and having this installed on my server is an overkill.

Best approach I would think of is having someone rewrite express from scratch and call it express 5, while keeping the same balance of core and extra functionality, as well as new async / promise goodies.

PFC is required under EU law and is a good idea anyway from an efficiency and harmonic reduction POV. It doesn’t however establish or change startup currents.

There’s sparking when you plug it in and there’s this which is like a small explosion. Either way the sparking is entirely avoidable as well with a trivial. Little startup circuit or a couple of NTCs.

I’ve tried it on a sample of three chargers now (we have three MBPs in the house of differing ages and original chargers) and they all have it.

If you find yourself wanting to play with trackers today, Renoise is the modern spiritual successor of MED and ProTracker and the like, and it's really great, and is competitive with modern DAWs in that it supports VSTs and controllers and automation and such. SunVox is also super cool, but for different reasons...it's more of a minimalist tool.
The main problem with redundancy is that every time you refactor you need to look for all the occurrences, and sooner or later you'll forget to update the change in one of the places. So in my book redundancy is bad almost always. On the other hand if it's only a few lines without extra dependences, it's often more readable to just repeat them, especially (and it's quite common) when you would need to add extra logic and conditions just to make that little abstraction work.
So, in layman's terms, if I buy two of these and mirror them is it a pretty safe bet they'll last my whole life?
