Fresh squeezed won’t be appreciably healthier (on the sugar dimension). What makes juice unhealthy compared to intact fruits and vegetables is the mechanical separation of sugar from the fiber water matrix.

This makes the sugar all available instantly.

When you eat the whole carrot, your digestive system has to tear away the layers of the matrix one at a time to get the sugar out. When you juice you remove the matrix mechanically.

Ask HN: How did you find your passion?
>Then, they threw it ALL away for Mac OS X, ironically right about the time when an appearance-agnostic API would make a lot of sense.

That's almost 20 years ago, and for very good reasons: moving to a whole new OS, with a new graphics pipeline and UI engine, and one they especially wanted to tout.

If that's the reason you don't trust Apple to support the "dark mode" APIs going forward, then that's bogus.

>So yeah, 14 versions later, the Mac wants to be appearance-agnostic again.

Were "the Mac" is a very different OS (the legacy Mac OS vs NeXT based OS X), by an almost totally different company compared to the one that created the original Mac OS 6, 7, 8, 9 and co. And 14 versions later is 18+ years on.

At which point do you draw the line?

Should we also be concerned for what Sculley era Apple did to some APIs?
That would not surprise me since little kids often take the subway themselves to go to school at age 5 or 6

Not a study but a theory:

Sugar causes a blood sugar roller coaster with an energy crash at 2-3 hours that appears to be specifically designed to get us to over eat. In nature sugar exists in large quantities only during the short period of fruit being in season, and thus it makes sense there would be a mechanism to get us to over eat during the limited window of fruit availability.

Sugar triggers our “eat it before it rots” mechanism.

In many cases, for an off-the-shelf solution to work for you, you need control over it. You need to be able to change it. So it is required to be open source. I guess most off-the-shelf solutions aren't.

Also, to be able to change the solution, you need to find one with just about the required feature set. In other words, you need a solution with minimal complexity that fulfills your needs. Because otherwise changing quickly becomes too painful.

On top of that, trying existing solutions and finding out why they don't work for you is not fun. It's much more fun to explore the solution space on your own.

>You can say a lot of things about windows but abandoning apis isn't one of them.

Actually abandoning APIs is very much one of them.

While programs written in older API still work, MS is notorious for abandoning APIs (as opposed to removing them) and asking developers to support its new shiny thing even faster than Apple changes frameworks (heck, you could still compile NeXT apps 30+ years later, and the frameworks where still supported, albeit with some alterations).

MS always invents new frameworks and APIs every 2-3 years for the same thing, e.g. GUI programming (or at least used to, haven't followed for the last several years).

software development CVS, and later Subversion were the best we had.

It might have been the best you had access to but commercial version control systems of various stripes were common. The first version control system I used for work was distributed and that was a decade before git. Version control systems with global locks, version control systems pretending to be a filesystem, version control systems fueled by the souls of the damned - it was like a Rule 34 of VCS - if you could think it, someone was selling it as a VCS.
It makes me a little sad to read this because I don't think there are zero opportunities for jobs where quality is the absolute priority. People write code for medical devices for example. In which case you have a legal obligation and an ethical obligation to write the highest quality code possible.

I wasn't making the case that we should always abandon quality. Just that we understand its relative importance to other business requirements. That we don't build a $2,000 lock for a $10,000 safe to protect $1.

I'd like to think the majority of code I write is high quality. I am proud of most of the code I write. And I spend a lot of time helping junior devs refactor their code to be more robust, deal with edge cases, and be more maintainable, etc.

I've also been in the industry for a few decades now, and I'm more excited than ever about the opportunities for quality. The code we were writing in COBOL back in the day is nowhere near the level of quality of code that can be written today. Hell, we weren't even measuring bugs and quality back then.

I encourage you to have a look around for opportunities where your employer's values and goals are better matched to your own values and goals. If you are super interested in software correctness, you shouldn't be building throw-away websites for short-lived marketing campaigns. But that doesn't mean those jobs aren't important too. Just that you shouldn't be the one doing them.
How is the fed gonna sell off its 4.5T in assets including all the housing loans it bought, or is it somehow going to destroy them?
The main problem I have with literate programming for tutorials is that it forces your writing order to match the code order. You get stuff stuff like this:

"Ignore these for now"
... import statements and setup

"Now lets talk about X"
... some code

"Remember those import statements? Lets talk about them, but scroll up to see the code because I can't repeat it."
...

"Oh yeah, and we could have done this on X, but again, can't show any code."
...

It is an opioid, that many people get quite dependent on. Methadone is an opioid that helps people get off heroin, it also has people that get addicted to it.

Your response is presumably somewhere between:

> many companies think they can do it cheaper if they build it themselves.

Sometimes it seems this is because someone who is more interested in building it themselves than doing more mundane work tells them so. They have no way to know for sure if it will be, and often it isn't, but the prospect of cheaper sounds good.
I don't buy it.

I used to pursue highly compensated careers, and now I don't rely on a paycheck. I occasionally pursue some high value commission deals just because I have the network for it, and this can top up my accounts whenever.

I travel a lot and go to a lot of coveted events: it isn't that expensive.

If you already had a highly compensated career (low six figures, high 5 figures in a no-income-tax state), your biggest issue was time.

Stock market fluctuations cost more than going out. Being on the wrong side of the market costs more than the last minute flight to the other side of the world in the middle of summer.

What do you think your friends really did that you abstained from? I'm sure you have a couple of observations, but I think the real conclusion is that you missed out. Quitting work and raising a child is a coveted outcome, for some, but I don't think you know if your colleagues have stunted wealth just because they did things more fulfilling to them.

If the blind testing of MQA compared MQA encoded tracks with and without MQA decoding, they were actually comparing MQA to 13-bit audio, as the (lossy) MQA data is encoded in the last 3 bits of "noise". That can definitely be heard on dynamic tracks. But CD-quality audio is 16-bit, which does not have an audible noise floor for music.

>"The credible counter to this argument that I've read is that this argument requires being able to perfectly filter out the >20KHz frequencies before you sample. A perfect filter with an exact 20KHz cut-off does not exist in the real world - some of the audible range gets affected at the high end and also some >20KHz signal gets through."

You don't need to cut off sharply at 20kHz, you have a band of 2.05kHz (for 44.1) or 4kHz, even with a non-oversampling DAC. Piece of cake for digital filters even 20 years ago, and reasonably possible even with analog filters.

But it's not even relevant for most people, since most DACs oversample to at least double sample rate, and can thus implement smooth gentle filters with no issues. That gives you the benefit of smooth filters you mention for high sampling rates, without wasting any storage space, making "hi-res" music pointless.

I agree with the comment about their app (iOS). It really sticks out when you’re in the native music app, previewing samples which you can’t stream via your own Sonos set because of lack of support for airplay (coming soon I’m told, and there’s also air-connect for Linux and macOS which is great, only don’t like having my computer on just for that).

The sonos app must go and let users use whatever app is best for them. Also, not being able to remove the mandatory tunein service is really making me hate using their app.
Actually, 10% of a population is a damn good sample size for just about any scientific or medical study. It’s quite large to be honest.

Anyway, once again... where is your evidence that this rarely happens?
The reply didn't address anything she said, it just dismissed it. I realize that people aren't especially good readers and such, but that isn't polite engagement, it's obnoxious.

To use the plumbing analogy, even if most or all of the job will be maintenance, you still want engineers who knows the internals enough to build their own “plumbing” if/when needed. Maybe an apt comparison is how astronauts are trained heavily for the 1% of off script situations that might occur even if it doesn’t happen in the span of their careers.

Companies should feel able to innovate when appropriate by having hired engineers capable of doing so.
I agree with this. I’ve spent just as much time researching productivity as being productive some times. And I agree, we don’t fail on the motivation part but on inability to create environments, habits and schedules that allow for distraction-free productivity. But I always failed to maintain longer than a week’s worth of concentrated productive habit. Why? I have a theory: you can’t maintain rigid schedules and habits if you have family too.

No chance of choosing focus areas and ignoring a sick child and sleepless nights, family emergencies and soul-sapping homework assistance.

Family is my productivity enemy. But I love my family so I don’t sweat lack of productivity that much. Anymore.

But yeah, motivation is not the answer. Fully agreed.
This is a really interesting perspective for people who haven't grown up with Git. I'd not grokked a distinction between three generations of VCS before and it's strange to me to hear git's bad UI described as something other people think.

He wants to make that case that software development is a more pedestrian affair than it might seem, without much of an argument. But it's not true.

Even a small shop needs to live up to pretty much a global standard, not least in terms of security. In the EU you must engineer with a security perspective in mind. The field is constantly moving. People come and go faster than most other industries.

I think there's an analogy to getting a better bike: it doesn't get easier, you just go faster.
Well, it's an $1.5 chip on $0.1 board (add $0.4 for leds, solder, ets). The rest is for manual work (assembly) and a nice margin.

Anyway, if you are looking for best price, try chinese "blue pill" controller boards (<$2 a piece), they have more processing power (with similar ARM CM3 cpu). But not that nice form-factor.
Audit ought correctly to be a last resort, we should only audit things because the superior options were impractical (or outright impossible). Auditors are invariably conflicted (not giving a clean audit is bad for business) and other actors must work to mitigate this problem.

Part of the failure of Symantec (causing them to exit the CA business last year as a result of financial pressure) was that rather than having in place their own effective oversight they had increasingly relied upon audits from the Big Four to confirm that things were being done correctly at their "partner" companies, even though the wider PKI community had seen repeatedly that audit is not very effective and should not be a substitute for oversight roles.

As a result when problems with CrossCert were identified, Symantec found they didn't have the records that ought to have existed, and ended up asking CrossCert for them, of course CrossCert did not have such records. This situation couldn't have happened if Symantec had effective oversight, since necessarily this oversight role would examine the (non-existent) records.

Individual audit companies may prove either incompetent or corrupt too. Mozilla concluded that the Hong Kong EY (Once "Ernst and Young" but short names are cool now apparently) was either incompetent or corrupt and told its parent that it will no longer accept audits from this outfit. This was part of the problem with StartCom, their audits don't mention things that should have been evident at the time to a competent auditor.

A central purpose of Certificate Transparency is to reduce the need to rely on auditors. With all the signed certificates made public, independent researchers can interrogate data once only accessible to auditors. For example, the question "Were any certificates issued for Debian Weak Keys?" is something we might once have resolved with audit - let's ask the CA "Do you check for weak Debian keys?" and if they say "Yes" that's a pass. But today researchers can simply download all the public keys, and memcmp() them against Debian Weak Keys. Upon finding one, they raise it as a Problem Report. Sure enough the CA discovers that although of course they believed they were checking for these weak keys, for a brief period the check was disabled and they issued a certificate. Oops. Observatory tools like Censys might have helped, but Certificate Transparency gives us guaranteed coverage.

Nevertheless, audit is a necessity for some practical questions. Auditors physically visiting a facility can verify that it is indeed physically secure (are the data centre fire doors left open onto a shopping centre car park?) and that documentation physically exists (are there, in fact, binders full of procedures? It's funny, when they know nobody follows the procedures humans are often too lazy to even bother writing them down...). Likewise auditors must attend certain ceremonies e.g. to create a new private key. It would be very expensive for representatives from the major Public Trust Stores to be sent around the world to do this, and it's clearly not acceptable to just insist that all CAs must be physically located in Northern California.

What they do could be a viable thing to do, if getting your customers to spend their own money to switch from a manual system with spreadsheet files sent over whatsapp to using your API will enable you to be the only player who has a huge dataset with real customer data, which you can use to understand which subset can actually be automated using existing technology, and automate only that using deep learning or whatever (for which you want the biggest dataset you can get), and keep doing the other stuff manually. You win by making people switch to your API, getting network effects, etc.

If you don't cut corners in the way you do the manual tasks and you charge enough to cover your costs, and enough tasks can be automated so that using your service is not more expensive than not using your service, you're ok. But you probably don't have the margins the VCs want.
