I'm, well not impressed. I don't get why so many people tout discord as this god send of a service.
The web client is Electron(basically chromium) for crying out loud, it's full of bugs and many times I've lost entire conversations due to irregularities with how it handles with a slow and inconsistent connection (I live in the middle of the woods basically, but the internet is still good enough to handle the most basic of tasks, and voice most days).

I like it, but it's not reliable, the interface kind of sucks balls, search function could be a little bit better and why does markdown not work on the mobile application?
Why don't we have threads like in Slack for more business oriented stuffs?

Just know I'm saying all this as someone who uses Discord every day. I do like it, but I'm not going to sit here singing it's praises when in reality, it would be so much better if someone really took time to polish the damn thing.

Also, more to the point, the store sucks.
It's annoying, it adds to the clutter, go buy games off of GOG or Steam if you have to, I don't get why we need to have another middleman, one that already harvests our data.

Side Note: I will say, Discord's keybindings are absolutely amazing, 10/10. Could not be happier, now if the rest of the app was like that, I wouldn't care about the store.

I think affine types force usage at least once, while linear types force it exactly once. IIRC, this is because linear logic rejects both contraction and weakening while affine logic rejects only contraction.

I'm not sure exactly how this ties into avoiding a GC, but my guess is that rejecting type contraction allows a kind of "reference counting" at the type level.

Yep, Magnesium works for me big time. I take a powdered form which seems a lot more effective than pills. Still wake up in the middle of the night sometimes but can get back to sleep easily without my brain switching into overdrive.

Melatonin definitely knocked me out, but I woke up groggy feeling like I hadn't slept at all

Airlines have traditionally been targets for terrorism. For other concentrations of people like pop concerts the same may apply. Or in any case, those already have had security measures for a while beyond just some town's busy downtown. But I don't know what I want. I'm probably mostly saying that it's not a black or white matter for me.
Could you provide your bank details please? Passport or other photo identification would be nice. I'd also like a copy of your browser history for the last 5 or so years, full records of your sexual history, transcriptions of any embarrassing, controversial, or regrettable conversations or interactions you've had, your home address, annotated photographs of your house keys, any vehicle registrations, and uh, you don't happen to know anything about nitroglycerine do you?

You can reply here, in response to this post, I'm okay with that.
> I see. “...to produce social progress” made me think you were asking about violence that produces progress, not merely violence that happens at the same time.

I was originally thinking of "to what degree does social progress vindicate use of violence". Of course it's better to give women the right to drive and vote and not dismember people. A lot of violence doesn't result in social progress, and lots of social progress is achieved without violence. But if someone makes social progress on one hand and uses force immorally on the other, to what degree does the latter need to outweigh the former to be considered a good person.

Basically, 20 or 30 years from know, do you think Bin Salman will be considered a villain or a hero? Plenty of people that had done unsavory things in the past have become seen as heroes. One easy example is the late Thai King Bhumibol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhumibol_Adulyadej). I don't know if he ever had anyone killed, but he did give tacit (or more than tacit) nods to the military to conduct their coups.

Ultimately, I have no dog in this fight. I have no relatives or friends in Saudi Arabia and I have no intention of going there myself. But I am interested in looking back on this thread years from know and seeing what the prevailing opinion is then.
Heh. You'd be surprised, so long as you're willing to apply your skills outside of employment and with the knowledge that you might not get paid for it. There are SO MANY fields of applied programming that are currently completely starved for resources.

Think of it in terms of open source projects, where the projects that you might be interested have only a few people working on them - but in the context of issues that affect folk completely outside of tech who don't have disposable income like those you'd see on HN or similar.

I seriously recommend that you check out a local "open data civics" group, or something similar in your area. You'll find that they're generally filled with junior programmers - but what they need are senior level programmers who can take charge of problems that junior programmers otherwise can't take charge of. Be that person.

FWIW, personally everything that I learn is entirely aimed towards helping the general public (at a distance), at the expense of my own salary. The work has been very rewarding. That said, it would be great if others would take the plunge that I have.

I don't understand why they don't use WebRTC clients on the server too.

Wouldn't this get rid of the NAT problem all together?

I even read that people had scaling problems with P2P WebRTC.

(I know that WebRTC is intended to be used as P2P technology, but noone stops you from treating the server as a client)

People are already clueless about how to properly cue and board a plane. As a frequent flyer it is beyond irritating. Families or friends at the gate would just make things even worse.
Plus, letting them in without a boarding pass is just a way to add insecurity variables to the airport experience for no reason but the movie-like romantic idea of airport goodbyes.

Yup. Ran into the same thing.

Another Q for you if you're still around: did you have to make any changes to your algorithm for when it's running through the undo queue, or is it basically the same thing but in reverse? I found some operations could better preserve intention with some adjustments to the undo transform
funny thing, I've noticed actual detuning happening in one ear only two or three times since I've passed my mid 20s. the second time, I tested it with earbuds - I had my PC play a sine wave at 440, sounded fine in the left but was very flat in the right, by easily 10 to 15 Hz. listening to anything with any kind of harmonic content with both ears was, obviously, terrible. nausea inducing, actually.

it goes away after 30 mins or so but the first time I had a brief moment of panic that this was some kind of permanent effect I had woken up with.

if my memory has any accuracy (dubious) then I was suffering from fairly heavy head colds every time this happened, so - applying totally uneducated guesswork - I put it down to something like uneven pressure buildup from a stuffy nasal cavity dampening the vibrations inside the ear.
I'm not trying to ask "was Bin Salman right in ordering the assassination?" or "is Bin Salman the best person to lead Saudi Arabia?". Rather, I'm more asking "do you think history will be kind to MBS?"
Last point especially. It would be like having all business contact go through IRC with no bouncer and no way to even tell if you were online.
I find it amazing how very different the user experience is for me compared to so many others. I hate(d) Discord; in fact I deleted my first account there a while back - then, a few months after I was back to Skype full-time (instead of having to run a resource-hogging Chromium browser to deal with Discord), one of the sites I'm on said that they wanted to make all off-site comms come through Discord. I tried it for a single week. I have since deleted that account as well.

Skype, on the other hand, has never once given me a problem. Calls are fine, such as I need them. The text chats for both group and private work well. The client is decent enough on my computer that I can at least run a YouTube video at the same time, or play a game. Heck, I've even done screen-sharing. Trying that with Discord caused my computer to just freeze up and then eventually crash when it figured out how to even do that.

I have tried using Miranda to connect to Discord as well as IRC, but the connection is unreliable and there's no way to tell Miranda "download messages from x time ago".

So you can say it's very much on track to its namesake. All that Discord has done is create just that amongst the groups of friends I have online - chaos and discord.

And on that same note, where's the Pastafarian response to these SubGenius and Erisian derived communication methods?

Seriously though, if Slack and Discord replace Skype and IRC, that will be the end of the age of IM for me.
Relative is far more important than absolute pitch. As long as the notes are precise distances apart, you'll get the harmonies you need.

Some people with absolute pitch are irritated to no end that tons of music isn't tuned to their idea of absolute pitch.

Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_pitch which describes how orchestras have tuned to different pitches historically.
An even better strategy is to always have a buffer. Under most circumstances it's not hard at all with a software engineer salary.

This is done in my country alot - both by the government and CEOs. A road in my area has been in the works for a year now. Houses were demolished, shops broken, and the tarred parts of the road ripped to make a wider road.

All these were done months ago. Now the road is a dust blower when sunny. And a mud bath when it rains.

The road contractor is a private company called Arab Contractors. It's however rumored that the company is partly owned by a previous state governor.

The ex-governor privatized tax collection - and this company takes a princely percentage of collected tax.

He sold various state owned lands for pittance - sometimes directly to himself, other times through holding companies. And you know the best part? He used government funds to finance his private purchases.

He recently gave a land meant for a local government secretariat to a retail chain. I'm guessing he'll collect rent and more for the favor.

I think the law of diminishing returns applies to the criminal status of an act. After a certain number or scale, a crime is no longer a crime.

If a store manager sold inventory at half price to himself, or bought inventory from a supplier (a company he owns) he'll be in jail.
Ok, I know I saw that somewhere when I commented. Did the headline change? It’s clearly not in the article now.
> So was Egypt better under the Muslim Brotherhood than the military junta?

I don't see why not. Morsi only had one year but he followed some constitutional processes and made some attempts to moderate his Islamic party. Anything you can accuse Morsi of general el-Sisi has been much worse on.
I commented to another reply. This formerly said “Interviews...” I didn’t pull that out of thin air. Something changed after my comment.

The arrogance in this thread is incredible. Legions of people pointing to pop science books and talking about how horrible their life would be if they weren't getting their 8 hours. Phrases like "have some respect for yourself" and "you're not getting the most out of life".

Do what works for you, but do remember that your life is just another anecdote. Stop telling others how to live their lives.

I stay up way too late all the time. My sleep is irregular. I rarely get as much sleep as I would if I went to bed at 10pm every night. And yet I'm extremely healthy, I pop out of bed every morning, and I'm always in a good mood. I don't get colds, I don't have memory problems... I don't have any of the horrible effects you all are sure I must have because your book says I must.
Musician here with terrible pitch guessing ability (but semi-decent composition skillz and good harmony sense).

I have always found absolute (or "perfect" pitch) to be misinterpreted in popular culture. I have not actually met a musician with perfect pitch. However, perhaps my definition is too narrow.

Would a person with perfect pitch be able to tell the difference between 440 Hz A and 432 Hz A? Would they be able to tell the difference between 440 Hz A and 438 Hz A?

If the definition is to be able to tell that a note is only slightly off within some pre-decided tuning system, then I know many people that can do this. The question to me is whether absolute pitch is as it says in the name, "absolute", or is it always limited by some measure of uncertainty? Is there a physical limitation? (Is it 1 Hz, or is it 5 Hz?)

Hope someone can explain this.

Edit: In the paper, they seem to stick to a pre-decided tuning system. Probably the standard one that we have now (equal spacing based on 13th root of 2 with 440 Hz A).

I'm in the same boat. After pairing for many years I've been soloing for a year now.

It's been good in some ways to (re)learn to work on my own, but man, it's such a dumber, slower and duller way to work.

I understand it's not for everyone, and that's perfectly fine. I just wish there was an easy way when job hunting to find the pair programming jobs! Why is it so hard??
Not OP, but one thing I've always found absurd about our medical practice is doctors recommending things like whole wheat pasta for type 2 diabetes. Really? Plate of carbs? Many health systems here still have this kind of stuff in their official guidelines.
What problem is being solved here? I didn’t see any explanation.
> There's a moment at which every scientific theory is only thought credulous by a single person.

Agreed, but the same is also true of any conspiracy theory or half-baked idea. The theory should be evaluated on it's merits, not the number of supporters. And theories that can be tested are always better than ones that can't IMO.

The most important thing to do is to track your calories. If you haven't done that yet try it for a month and see what happens. Worthwhile experiment.
My rule of thumb: I only tip for full table service, and the amount depends on how full our drink cups remain. I have tipped though for holidays and things - esp. for places I frequent where the person behind the counter gives exceptional service.

In the 1990s there was a decent collection of old computers in the Basser Bulding at the University of Sydney, which was curated by Allan Bromley [1]. The display included a section of SILLIAC.

These days there is the Australian Computer Museum Society [3], who have shed loads of potential exhibits and are still trying to find a home in which to set up a museum. I gather that they spend a large amount of their effort trying to find temporary storage spaces are are always glad of new members.

Do you produce games on actual printed disks? Have you reached out to smaller gaming stores - both in your area and around the country? If you move away from digital distribution, you might just find yourself feeling more stable. And certainly, you'll be pulling away from Valve/Steam.
Field sobriety tests are only issued once the officer has probable cause based on suspicion of intoxication. I don't think anyone would disagree that suspicious behavior within an airport warrants detainment and questioning, but in that case no one's liberties are being compromised.
The Egyptians I've spoken to had different opinions. As stated before, they were Coptic Christians (a religious minority) so their views are likely different from the average Egyptian. But they worried extensively of the possibility of sectarian rule, and regard el-Sisi with positive regard. El-Sisi met with the Coptic Pope, and from their point of view did a significantly better job of assuring religious minorities that they'd be protected. And regardless of the choice between el-Sisi and Morsi, almost all of them regard the overthrow of Mubarak as a mistake (albeit in retrospect).

Again, to reiterate it's worth mentioning that this is a specific perspective, and one that has a good chance of not being representative of the majority.
The behind tends to be the smelly end on horses though.
Cities tend to already be built up. There are streets, water/gas/electricity/etc. already there, and redeveloping doesn't require 100% of the infrastructure to be run out there and built from scratch.

Expanding the suburban sprawl means going to places where that infrastructure isn't already there, which means adding all of it and adding the burden of maintaining it. And when you then waive the taxes that are meant to pay for the infrastructure, where does the money come from? Out of somebody else's pocket.

I was trying to avoid being too detailed, but the distinction is actually that linear types require function arguments to be used exactly once and affine types require that they be used at most once. So affine types allow constant functions, but linear types don’t. A good place to start for anyone interested in learning more is the Wikipedia article on substructural types [0].

And, yes, you’re right that these type systems effectively implement reference counting at the type level. In practice, linear and affine types are used alongside more general types to permit controlled copying and destruction, which tends to look like manual (but type-enforced) memory allocation and deallocation around the edges.

> Deflation is widely considered to be worse than inflation, reasons for which we can discuss if so desired.

I'd love to discuss it. Questions:

Why is a 3% inflation rate desirable yet 15% is catastrophic?

Why is the 2-3% inflation goal set in stone and unable to be ever changed?

Many developed countries keep targeting this rate despite being unable to achieve it. Is someone going to mention the emperors clothing eventually?

Why is deflation itself bad? Why is cheaper food, shelter and consumer items a bad thing for society as a whole? People save more, consider their purchases more carefully and tend to be more cautious about their money. Some examples of deflationary products are computer hardware and new cars. People tend to take these purchasing decisions quite seriously and research far more than not, is that a bad thing?
It's not just markdown that doesn't work on the mobile client, I don't think syntax highlighting is supported at all yet. I agree that the keybindings are nice - personally I'm also fond of the robust bot APIs and the encouragement of a relatively asynchronous voice channel system over a call-based system.

I don't see Discord threatening Steam anytime soon, but it's nice to have some competition.
But if the parties are picking partisan voting officials to oversee the election, there might not be much moderation or civility among them.
My main concern, and I think about this quite often, is the sheer magnitude of our consumption and waste we produce every single day. Landfills need to be adapted to capture methane for one. But more than that, more products need to be made with compostable material.

I've seen a lot of recent food shops / juiceshops here in Austin that now provide compostable cups / silverware / packaging where nothing is provided in Sytofoam or plastic (all plant based material). It appears to be scalable and something I would love to see elsewhere with manufacturing / packaging.

Though I can also imagine a world where people will want to be able to get whatever they need nearly instantly. Maybe 3D metal printing will accelerate at larger scales and take into account better recycling / raw material breakdowns. That being said, it's argued that 3D printing is more environmentally sustainable as an additive manufacturing process rather than the traditional subtractive process of cutting and breaking down material to form and producing waste.

> A U.S. Department of Energy study confirmed that utilizing additive manufacturing can reduce material needs and costs by up to 90%. Along with waste savings, the DOE also found that 3-D printing can save energy, especially when a component that was previously made by combining several smaller parts is consolidated into one.

I know they do pull it out to a separate band but many VoIP providers log the DTMF sent as digits to debug things - most evident in IVR use cases.

So, if attackers wants to get card details, they need not attack the business or Twilio (because it might redact these when they see <Pay>, but they can simply access logs of the middlemen for DTMFs. Concatenate all those per call, and there we should have all card numbers, expiry dates and CVC/4DBC.

Not sure how Twilio is doing it though. Unless they use some awesome encryption method to encrypt all these numbers so no one in middle can see them.
The argument of more productivity is just too ambiguous and weak.
