Having used foobar2000 for many many years, I've loved its power and customizability, but I do wish that there was a modern way to customize its UI.

The basics are simple, but if you want to do styling tweaks or anything approaching a "custom" UI, you need to start hacking away at an obscure C++ SDK or an even weirder mishmash of GDI+ and old JavaScript.

If there was a modern and easily customizable frontend to foobar2000's core audio and media library engine, I'd be in love. Something like Zeit's Hyper, but for music. I'd be willing to trade off Electron resource usage if it meant I could set up the UI just how I like it.
I was responding to the "Apple has lost a lot of ground" part, I'm not suggesting Apple will overtake Google with their assistant. I should have quoted the original text.
It's not negatively correlated, they have not measured the effects of >1 egg/day. It doesn't change anything. Saying that the food is healthy is vacuous.

Eating 1 egg per day for the average member of the measured population seems to be healthy. It does not mean eggs by themselves are healthy or unhealthy.
In good teams the eloquent guy heaps adequate praise on the camera awkward guy to make it known how large their contribution was.

Ideally we'd have more granular data. Not all of Ohio is dead--it has several major metropolitan areas. And, likewise, the Central Valley in CA probably isn't doing that great, but it's outweighed by the California cities.

I have exactly the same experience, not just with projects but with technologies as well, I move from 80% completed projects because I get excited about a new thing, either a new s/w framework/language/electronics and then never come back to finish. I have a number of partially completed systems in use (One is a controller for emergency vehicles, another a tracking dashboard for shipping reefers, strangely they seem to more or less work) I keep thinking that one day I will get a really good product and make enough money to hire developers to complete and support what I have created. I have given this some introspection and have a couple of possible reasons, one is "fear of failure" I abandoned a facial recognition system I spent years developing because of one rejection. Another is loss of interest, the creative stuff is all done and now its down to plain work. Anyway, thanks for sharing
I can definitely draw parallels with this feeling, in my mind its a combination of finding it harder and harder to see actual meaningful returns on your time invested on the project. When you're just starting out and delivering big features and changes you can get that feedback quickly and things seem to move quickly. But when you're now having to focus on cleanup and polish it can feel like the project stops moving and you're stuck behind a wall.

There are a few things that I've found that help me in these situations:

- Get a good project management software, personally i use https://monday.com/ for small project task management, you can list all the things you need to do - and seeing the tasks slowly disappearing can help get that feeling of momentum back

- Get a cofounder/help finding someone else to be passionate about your project or help with the work often will help spark more of that early stage excitement again. I'm currently working with some contractors on my own project and their excitement helps motivate me to push though these 'work stitches'.

- Take a small break, not too long, any longer than a week or two and you can distance yourself too much.

What you need to remember is that you're attempting to pull something off that very few people actually do, building and launching a company from scratch. It _is_ a-lot of effort, but as a founder and as it gets traction you can start to hire into roles which you don't like/don't care for.

Good luck with your software!
Another advantage is that you don't add yet another entity knowing what you do with your life in the mix. The bank already has the information, and the shop. I don't really want apple/google/whatever to append to the stock pile of stuff they know about me: my consumption habits, the money I got and the places I visit despite the fact my geoloc is off.

The massive centralization of our life is a huge problem.

Like we said "don't give everything to facebook" 10 years ago and people only wake up now, I wish people realized it's not about a particular brand. It's a general advice.

The worst part is that the power you give to them is invisible, so it doesn't seem that much. It feels harmless. But the potential for controlling ones life is huge.
Well for one, the price is down by 10% from last week. Whatever was priced in from those 'in the know' a week ago wasn't that big of a deal.

Secondly, the theoretical expectation was always that the value should go to 0. i.e., if parties can steal money whenever they want then the system is worthless.

Obviously there are parties who together form 100% of the mining power, same with 51% of the mining power. They need only come together and decide in order to steal. The only thing preventing this was a bit of game theory about how their coins and mining equipment would become worthless the moment they do this.

The fact that hasn't at all happened means they profited hard. And it means virtually any coin that has a set of investors with similar levels of disinterest is susceptible to these attacks.

My prediction is this: the first attack has little influence, even on bitcoin. It'll be cast aside as some mysterious accident, the theft won't be large and it'll be seen as insignificant, people will remain hopeful. When these attacks happen with some frequency, like once a month and at a large scale, then we'll see trust completely plummet and prices with it.

Yes, sarcasm but, much like jumping off bridges recreationally, naming programming things after existing words is an old practice. Lisp is 60 years old. Complaining about Celery and Centrifuge seems as disingenuous as sarcasm. We can agree on Go though. Some words are simply too common.
I really wish ads were forced to be in an iframe. Too bad every advertiser wants their own analytics.
Ok that makes sense now on its face it seems incredibly adversarial to the point where they could force you to be a drug mule as a team building exercise. But when you put it this way it makes perfect sense. Without this kind of protection you're open to a lawyer placing bogus applications just to launch series of lawsuits to effectively destroy the program for everyone.
Go ahead and be an unpaid data gathering tool that can be used by bigcorps, those with the right exploit or (even if they don't do now) when ToS changes and that company starts selling your information to the highest bidder.

They profit at your ignorance.

The fact that it will execute commands with your recorded voice should tell you there's a lot of exploits that can happen without your intervention.

If I want a device to start listening I'll go and push a button for it. The always listening stuff is way too big an vulnerability (like an unsecured API into your house).

I think a good question is, is there a market for renting asic mining gear?

Yes, but only if mining the coins via renting is cheaper than buying them outright.

If you're a miner, it makes sense to rent out your gear, because you get a guaranteed payment higher than you could make via mining.

Yes Bitcoin is vulnerable to a 51% attack right now and so are all other PoW coins.

That's why crypto is still in its infancy.
Both interface and performance actually. I have a library of about 1000+ songs and it barely takes anymore than 130 mb of RAM for me. This is actually better than some native c# music players that I used before I made this. And CPU usage is very light.

Drawpile is a free software collaborative drawing program
Of course I can say that for myself. Every record I ever bought was because I knew at least some of the music on it beforehand and went to shop to get it. Cover could influence how I felt about the whole package afterwards, but since I never not bought something because how it looked, I can be pretty certain that it didn't matter for my purchases.

I agree that it would be different if my music discovery came from browsing records in music stores where look could influence me, but that is not how I ever went about it.

Could the Large Hadron Collider Collide a Sandwich?
I can't wait to read the n-gate writeup about this one...
That's in the site guidelines:

Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait.

The article title in this case is arguably both, so we changed it to use a more neutral phrase from the article. That's always the best way to change a title, btw, when you have to. Articles nearly always include some neutral representative phrase that describes what they're about, and it's much better to find a 'native' one that way than to make up a new title oneself. Trick of the trade.

While trying to understand GraphQL, this kind of filtering was the first thing was what I was hoping would be easily possible. I don't agree that creating such a filter is complex for the client or that is is an unreasonable expectation that the client would want to.

As an example, the OData spec has query filters:

On the other hand, for all the marvel that Curiosity has provided, a human on the surface of Mars could have achieved vastly more and vastly faster. Rovers and especially probes are ultimately very limited technology. If we continued on the trajectory we were on in the 60s we'd likely already have human outposts, if not civilizations, on the Moon, Mars, and perhaps even some of the outer planets' moons.

Just imagine all the amazing discoveries and economic potential we've missed out on due to myopia mixed with a bit of conservatism. The entire space race was ultimately just a global level dick waving contest, and what space exploration we have had since has been hamstrung by fear of failure. That people will die in human space endeavors is hardly a reason to avoid them. Columbia was named after the ship that first circumnavigated the globe. And unsurprisingly that voyage came with immense risk. Nearly every seaman associated with that mission, though successful, would go on to die in sea related voyages and I doubt they would have had it any other way. Exploring new frontiers always comes with risks and it has never served as a deterrent to the right sort of people. That one of the biggest advocates for Martian colonization today is Buzz Aldrin, is not a coincidence.
The person I'm conversing with mentioned two, and based on that, concluded Russia is the #1 suspect here, and the only country brazen enough to do it. All you have to do is pick two assassinations by any other country, and that country is now equally brazen. The point is that the statement is weak, not that there have been two assassinations in history. Get it now?
Thats totally relate-able. Completion of one project on which you've worked for a long time implies you're about to finish something you finally feel confident about, and now moving on to start another one (maybe completely new project). So this feeling is somewhat like moving out of a city where you've lived for quite some time.

That was revealed much earlier than "this year". Here's an article from 2010:

Our knowledge of medicine still seems to be an an early stage. For instance, we still seem to be discovering large organs in the body. I feel that way about other fields too -- geology only had its fundamental theory widely accepted less than 100 years ago. We're still unsure of the number of planets in the solar system, even. In short, it's an exciting time to be alive, with a lot of theories yet to be discovered in science. Nearly all of the low-hanging fruit have been found now, but there's a lot to we will yet learn from the complex parts that we don't understand well enough.
I gotta say, I really enjoyed skimming through this, and saving it for future reference. I can already tell there are some basic things that I should've memorized with all the one liners I've used, but because most were cobbled together for the immediate task (and many online forum searches assume a lot of prior knowledge), so t this presentation, and cookbook style references really help me hold the practical benefits in memory alot longer, so thanks again!

That, and awk programs are almost perfectly portable across awk implementations: nawk, gawk, mawk (can't vouch for busybox-awk as I haven't tested it, though I've heard it's good as well).

This is of practical importance for portable scripts, since Debian uses mawk [1], RH ships gawk, and Mac OS uses nawk.

[1] mawk has recently received new commits by its original author after a hiatus of 20 years or so; see https://github.com/mikebrennan000
At some point, javascript is going to have to realize that they are the language and these other little tools are just that: little tools that other people have written.

The programming language will be around for a really long time. Little tools come and go. Never rename things in your language just to accomodate some little tool. There are millions of little tools. There are simply not enough synonyms available to accomodate them all.

The only sensible choice is to stand up for yourself and name things the right way in the language itself. The library will come out with a patch next week.

Here's a link to the last time they caved on the exact same type of issue, to the same silly library, a couple weeks ago:

At your age, I am assuming you have commensurate experience, so your school should not matter at all.

Any good recruiter should be able to see the qualities somebody of your experience will bring to the table - a holistic view of software development and understanding of things like technical debt, good communication, ability to get along with people from different functional areas, and so on. Maybe you need to work on making these apparent to the interviewers? I don't think anybody would be looking at your tech skills alone.
Exactly.. If you're so concerned with privacy then don't put a microphone in your home when both of these companies have strong ties to the government. You are being profiled or worse.
I'm reminded of Caltech vs MIT. And DEI vs FEIF :)
Again, SpaceX government contract pricing is less than half of every other bidders price, so there clearly isn’t any subsidy.
Agreed they are tools designed to fill a niche. This doesn't make them bad, or uneccessary, just specialized. A spanner drive screw isn't worse than a hex drive, it's just designed for a different more specific use case.

Really this just goes to show how impressive RDMSs like Postgres are. There's nothing out there that's drastically better in the general case. So alternative database systems tend to just nibble around the edges.

My rule of thumb is always try to implement it using a relational model first, and only when that proves itself untenable, look into other more specialized tools.

You could even go further than that.

If you employ a set of digital cameras, say for security cameras or other things, each has a private key which it uses to sign whatever it records. Obtaining said key would require physical access to the device. Then, when it matters, your organization has a set of public keys which it uses to verify that the picture/video is legitimate.

Second this. Perl replaced both awk and sed. Data scientists marvel at awk/sed but Perl is somehow forgotten. Perl May not be as suited to writing complex programs, but for text processing tasks, it is much more elegant than awk or sed.

Perl -pie is a very powerful idiom.

I would rather use a subset of Perl than awk.
Hey "fucking over the users" Strategy has been doing Comcast wonders for decades.
The main reason I went with electron is that fantastic system tray integration. System tray integration with the native .Net is an unholy mess. The windows 10 UWP apps do not have a way to integrate with the taskbar. WPF requires interop with win32 code or a half baked 10 year old depreciated WinForms component.

And none of the native solutions allow me to shape and design the UI like I want to without compromises.

Electron may not the best in every aspect. But it was the only sensible and feasible choice for what I wanted my app to behave like.

For me, a small performance hit is justified for being able to make exactly what I want.

Your haughtiness really doesn't improve or bolster your point. Google "Victoria Nuland Viktor Yanukovich regime change" together for some examples of contrary information. Hillary's State Dept. (Nuland et al) destabilized the Ukraine in the first place (2014), to get rid of Yanukovych (duly and democratically elected by a sovereign nation), who maybe coincidentally had previously been leaning toward joining the Russian/Asian trade & cooperation zone instead of NATO. Hmm interesting. Kiev soon turns into a neo-Nazi shitshow. Crimea, made up almost entirely of ethnic and linguistic Russians, holds a referendum and votes to join Russia. "There's a big powerful country with a big military next door, that we used to be a part of anyway, that can protect us from neo-Nazis and US meddling alike? Huzzah, welcome the tanks!" For Russia it's their best shot at a warm-water port, so I agree it is a bit convenient for them. But think about what the US would do if Russia toppled, say, Ontario. Do we let foreign governments create failed states on our borders? We almost started WW3 over Cuba.
