It's just basic human nature. As soon as you say "you can't see/hear/taste/perceive the difference between X and Y" some dick-waver will come in and start saying they can do it. And of course, the first to admit they can't hear a difference loses, and then you end up with things like Monster Cables, and the Emperor's new hi-fi setup.

I've seen people seriously claim they can hear the difference between the same audio signal burned onto different brands of CD-Rs.

Ah, here it goes: warm lunches:
Finland, Spain, Denmark(?), Estonia, Lithuania, France, Italy, Sweden, UK, potentially others, not a complete list. [1]

p.s. Fun fact: Norwegian school lunches were supplied from Sweden during World War II, partly privately financed. Later, all public school lunches were discontinued, so most Norwegian students bring a packed lunch from home.[1]

> "Are you saying it’s inconsiderate for people to not smell how you want them to smell?"

That's not what I was saying, but actually that's also true. Good point. Smelling like a smoker is itself inconsiderate behavior.

What I was actually saying is that smokers are generally inconsiderate people. This can be generally observed by interacting with the general public and noticing that people who smell like smokers are almost always inconsiderate people. You don't need to witness an inconsiderate person smoking to know they're a smoker, because the human nose can detect smokers easily. And just so we're clear, not all inconsiderate people are smokers, but very nearly all smokers are inconsiderate.

Now that I think about this more, there is a plausible relationship here: everybody knows that smoking makes you smell awful, so only people who are inclined towards being inconsiderate will pick up the habit.

> "right"

In most free countries, it is your right to be inconsiderate. It's not the right of any smoker to be free of criticism.

I seem to recall that LIGO budget was in the billions, this on the order of 150M. Where does this huge difference in costs come from? Is it related to LIGO being the first, and now some previous unknowns are now known? Or something else entirely? Digging those tunnels can't have been cheap...

What's the expected sensitivity, compared to LIGO and Virgo?

Yep, we have an ancient Ubuntu 7.04 build server for exactly this reason - linking against an old libc.

Yeah. The official doc says that lila is a chess game server. It really isn't an immediate replacement for a general web stack.

However, I don't think the technologies he/she mentioned are little known. Scala, Akka and TypeScript are certainly well known. The last I heard, Vue was based on a fork of Snabbdom.

BTW, it may be worth notice that the code base of Lichess.org also uses Mithril. I used Vue in the past but converted my choice to Mithril afterwards. To me, Mithril is simpler to learn or use. My code using it is cleaner and easier to maintain. But this is certainly anecdotal and YMMV.

And to be fair, if these drivers were all properly following the law as written, the problems would be far fewer.

It's not uncommon to have stop lines farther back from the crosswalks for middle lanes to help improve visibility for the right lane - but even the ones that aren't worn down are often ignored by inattentive drivers. You're supposed to fully stop before the crosswalk even when turning right, but many drivers turning right don't fully stop at all - and are at best planning to stop with the crosswalk blocked. You're not supposed to speed up when you see a yellow light. All these things are ticketable offenses, in theory.

Between lax enforcement, lax punishments, lax driver education, and driving while texting, sleepy, high, or just plain drunk... well, I usually don't encounter problems from all 4 directions when crossing a street, but 1 or 2 is pretty common. I feel decently safe crossing, but only because I keep my head on a paranoid swivel. Occasionally I have to kinda hang out in the middle of the crosswalk for a few seconds while I wait for some idiots who failed to yield, and I'll throw up my hands in pantomimed exasperation...

I didn’t use the word “right” to imply that any rights were being violated. I used it to claim what I believe to be reasonable expectations for other people’s behavior, which seems like a natural definition for what behavior is “inconsiderate.”

Beans come closer, the problem with beans being that they are toxic and those proteins won’t get assimilated well.

Sorry but this is just laughably wrong. Lectins in raw beans are toxic but they are completely destroyed by cooking. The healthiest populations on the planet all eat large quantities of legumes, the protein in which has a number of advantages compared to meat based sources.

"BBC noticed us and our "SPECIAL NORWEGIAN WAY" of making sandwiches, oh my!"

https://www.nettavisen.no/livsstil/mads-og-ronald-lagde-vide...

p.s.And this sort of food is definitely not healthy.

p.p.s. "hot food" - It is not a big thing, until you consider the notion that sandwiches of any kind are one step away from cancer/ gastric ulcer inducing ramen packs and 'snickers' snack. Then you kinda start thinking how good are any sandwiches for you during the lunch time. Same goes for kids. This is why warm soup is anyday better than "fast-track unbalanced(no veggies) sandwich"(R) as described here/in the article.

Of course 'hot food' type makes a difference - balanced potatos, salad, meat/fish combo or a soup is 100 light years away from say 'hot pockets' fake food.

The whole point of this discussion is that "Oh, it does great in practice" is a highly misleading metric - it tells us nothing about how the system might 'fail' in a worst-case scenario.

A personal anecdote: when I was a student in CS, back in the early nineties, I was working in a gas station the WE.

A fellow student, now leading IT department in a European airport, was visiting me and we were chatting outdoor, just nearby the little shop I was in to cash.

And then he lights a cig. I asked him if he was ok doing that in a gas station, and he responds me something like well, we are far enough (and that was true, but still)

And when he finished it, he dropped it on the ground and scratch it with is foot :

« You know I’m the one who’ll have to pick it to trash it, and then have to clean the black mark it leaved on the white cement, do you ? »

« Oops, sorry »

He is a person I respect for a lot of things, and one of the last friend from my student time.

But his smoking M.Hyde side never stops to puzzle me.

You can do

bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_open* { printf("%d\n", pid); }'

but then you can't access the arguments of the different probes uniformly, i.e.

bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_open* { printf("%d %s\n", pid, str(args->filename)); }'

does not work.

You can do it like this:

bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_open { printf("%d %s\n", pid, str(args->filename)); } tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_openat { printf("%d %s\n", pid, str(args->filename)); }'

> inconsiderate: thoughtlessly causing hurt or inconvenience to others.

Smokers are inconsiderate because they thoughtlessly cause harm or inconvenience to others by smelling offensive. They brush off the objections of all non-smokers and tell the rest of the world to fuck off because they selfishly prefer smoking to not causing olfactory offense.
As a heavy user of Myntra's app, I also have to say that their app is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to them. The app is wonderfully designed, highly functional, and fast.

So, how many parts were actually damaged after this?(probably only a couple)

And the good bit: you can put it back together again!

This is what they mean with rapid disassembly I guess. One of the problems in the Lego sorting project is how to disassemble sub-assemblies that arrive in unsorted lots and that's a very hard problem to solve due to all the various ways in which the parts can be assembled. This is a pretty nasty way of solving that particular problem but the number of parts damaged would have to be very low for this to be a feasible real world solution.

> Smelling like a smoker is itself inconsiderate behavior.

I will straight up disagree with you there, and we can probably avoid a semantic argument over what “inconsiderate” means and just call it a day. In summary, I think “inconsiderate” ought only apply to behaviors that sufficiently violate the expectations of society, or in other words, just because you don’t like a behavior does not mean that behavior is inconsiderate.

The rest of your comment is fairly ridiculous. Surely you haven’t actually counted every smoker you have met. It’s much more likely that you are simply disproportionately noticing smokers who are bothering you.

> The author explains that it's a psychoacoustic model and then demonstrates how various artifacts in various waveforms are the result of compromises within this model.

The explanations aren’t themselves incorrect — there’s certainly low-pass filtering, pre- and post-echo artifacting and so on, and these reflect in the waveforms — but to reference a waveform and to say “this sounds bad because it looks like this” doesn’t really hold water. Visual differences are not necessarily audible differences, which is the fact psychoacoustic encoding leverages.

If an encoder’s design goal was to produce visually-comparable waveforms, a different approach would be used.

There is no useful or meaningful content above ~18 kHz (aside from dither) on most recordings. There may be exceptions, but by and large, on real music recordings, the information above that frequency isn’t valuable, and is the among the easiest things to discard.

If you feel ownership over some system, you feel as if the whole system reflects on yourself, whereas if you do not feel that sense of ownership, then you feel as if only the work you do on that system reflects on yourself. If you feel ownership then, you're likely to be more proactive in your maintenance and making sure that everything is up to standard rather than being reactive and fixing things that break. You want people to feel a sense of ownership, and rewriting a project is a very good way of doing that. Rewriting may not be the only way, of course, and it may not be the most optimal solution given other goals.

Spring Boot is pretty good actually. It doesn’t match some of Django’s features, but if I were to use JVM now, either Spring Boot or a standard Clojure stack with Ring (coupled with Honeywell) would be good enough. (Of course finding Clojure devs is harder, I have spent a lot of time evangelizing it in my country with little success.) I have used both last year in production without issues.

Still, Django and Rails makes many things a breeze.

They have been recommending people purchase Apple stock for the whole year now, saying the fair value for the stock is $220. As you and I know, it was not long ago that it was more fairly valued at $70-110.

That's a cool app but it still launches inside a browser window on 3/4 tested browsers (Firefox on Android/Linux, Chromium on Linux; does launch as a standalone app on Android Chromium).

Also (but this is more of a niche problem with more technical users) I wouldn't have noticed it's a PWA if you hadn't told me since I block service workers by default. I would, however, have noticed a banner taking me to an app store of your choice.

Still, the app itself is cool though. Maybe you can use touch gestures on the web after all ;)
> As for comments to the effect, "physics hasn't changed since the concorde failed," no, but materials and manufacturing really have. Turbine engines have evolved a lot since then. That companies like Boeing do not build such aircraft doesn't tell you anything, any more than studying the success of Apple in embedded systems tells you whether or not there is a market for them. Perhaps a poor example since embedded systems are not a disruption, but my point is that entrenched incumbents may not pivot simply because they are doing well where they are, and all the more so in a more heavily regulated market.

This. So much this. The specious argument about physics really irks me.

- Time between the first commercial air travel (1914) and when Concorde began development (1962): 48 years
- Time between when Concorde began development and today: 57 years

Translation: Concorde's tech is OLD. Think of how much aviation technology advanced in the 48 years between the first commercial passenger flight and Concorde beginning development. Now think about how much it inevitably has advanced in the 57 years since Concorde's technology was developed.

The founders of Boom have openly stated that they intend to build a more fuel-efficient aircraft, leveraging technological advances to provide exponential increases in efficiency. If they can't do that, the economics don't work out - plain and simple. But they're making a pretty good case that they can to date, and this funding will help them further demonstrate that their plans have promise. As an aviation geek, I personally hope they succeed.

No, but is that so important? If we can fix cell and tissue degeneration we're likely to prolong life span and improve quality of life dramatically. We can do the rest when we get there.
Not to pile on with the rebuttals, but Elixir/Erlang are actually truly parallel. There wouldn't be much point to all the interest into it unless they were. You should go to the phoenix framework website for statistics on how it handles many connections and processes.

Of course, true parallelism only comes with multicore CPUs anyways, and this is what the Erlang VM ("BEAM") is geared to. The processes are not threads in the C++ sense and there is no shared memory, but there are separate BEAMs for each CPU core and the processes are scheduled to them. Message passing in the Actor style takes the place of shared memory.
"Recommendation 2: Include Only What You Need"

The slide refers to the inversion of control principle but can easily include other important aspects of including only what is needed.
