I suppose one could dispute "in active use", but D-sub connectors predate DIN connectors and are still in use today. I see them primarily on industrial equipment and, obviously, not on PCs much anymore. Given that MIDI is pretty specialized, too, I'd say that D-sub is at least as common, if not more so.
I find the conclusion took a strange turn from the story:

> Those women who were complicit in hashtag crimes have actually undermined the cause, taken us back years in our endeavor to be taken seriously.

The people fighting to prevent sexual attacks would generally also acknowledge other areas for improvement. Saying that you have different priorities is acceptable. But denying their priorities is not. That they are causing more sexism elsewhere is a long shot. It is not even connected to the main story.
That average project would be written in JavaScript, not C++.
I think one of the things make a suit 'prestigious' is that it requires effort and time.
I feel spoiled enough by the ecosystem to expect that libraries which wants/advertises itself to be a standard for Node.js to be backed by native code instead of pure Javascript, especially if the use case is complex, numerical computation.

Aside from that, the collection presented here is actually quite remarkable, kudos to the developer(s).
MIDI produces great value with encoding a domain specific mapping. It's one of the differences with OSC which, by
being too open-ended, provides no standard interpretation..
Considering MPE is in MIDI 1.0 as an extension, you can bet it will be in MIDI 2.0
All of those rely on Troy Hunt's API. Which may be fine for some people, yet others may uncomfortable introducing an external dependency. I generally recommend avoiding external API dependencies if you can.

Here's a python implementation using bloom filters which avoids storing the whole list (need to store ~1 gig), yet still gives you very good accuracy:

It's more what I think this should look like.

"Breaking nicotine dependance is the goal."
I'd disagree. Stopping people smoking is the goal - as that's what causes the damage. Breaking nicotine dependency is definitely one way of doing this, but if it can't be broken, switching delivery mechanism from smoking is nearly as good.

Ha, I was just about to ask for a bloom filter version of this. Thanks!
> maybe this unit of time needed for scientific purposes doesn't need to be the same one used for daily life.

Don't think the unit is the problem, it's the offset. And when it comes to that, we already have a virtualization layer which assures alignment with the sun for social purposes: time zones. No need to add another one over TAI.
Haha, yes. In that case the manager would have explained that they were being paternalistic. Which could have enraged this customer too, but probably less so than labeling her an escort.
It's a debated issue among paleontologists, IIRC. Surely, human hunting did not help those species anyway. We also know for sure that in more recent times humans hunted many species of large animals to extinction (like giant birds), so until a definitive evidence is provided, to me the hunting hypothesis gets a high prior probability.

It also seems that most mass extinctions were not due to a single factor anyway, but to a combination of factors. So, yeah.
Lent mine to a friend who wanted to plug it to her tv to turn it into a smart, media device with a useful browsing capabilities.
I have to politely disagree. This could've been made as a static page. Instead, with Javascript off you see just a totally blank page. Thank God that most of the web doesn't follow the suit.
What about the headphone jack?
Rotating your AWS access keys as a distributed team
Quick post on how we solved the issue of rotating AWS access keys with a pretty distributed team. Interested to hear what other solutions people have adopted to solve this issue.
Depending on what you'd consider a 'connector,' the headphone jack has quite a long lineage. I believe the 3.5mm headphone jack was originally created in the '50s. Of course, on the very distant planet that phone vendors live in, the headphone jack is not in active use, because people there were apparently absolutely begging for phones that were fractions of a millimeter thinner. In any case, if you count the larger variants, it's been around for a fair bit longer than that, even.

Musicians don't throw instruments away like other markets throw their gadgets away. I have a room full of 30-year old synths that still work the same as they did the day I bought them, and they're still awesome - I will never 'upgrade'. They're instruments.

It'd be great if the other realms of electronic gadgetry could accomplish the same degree of uptake as electronic musical instruments - however, the anti-patterns that make modern consumer gadgets so appealing to the people who market and sell them, are a smell to musicians who have very little patience for designed obsolescence. Musicians don't tolerate that much .. anyone attempting to induce it in a product intended for music-making will find that they won't get far in this industry.

I only answer phone calls from people in my contact list. So if I get a phone call and it shows a number on the screen instead of name (Mom, Hassan, Seb etc), that means it’s somebody not in my contacts list, so I ignore it. The only exception is when I am expecting a scheduled call (interview or something).
It definitely changes a significant chunk of the “Women in Tech” narrative, when she poses as woman, but was not born a woman.

The key feature being the sense of abandon that this person operates apparent sexuality with. It’s deceptive to portray an image of, say, shining LED lighting through breast implants casually, like they’re nothing, if the individual wasn’t born with breasts and so, doesn’t feel an instinctive urge to take them seriously. This person obviously toys with the novelty of a sexualized appearance, because it wasn’t an authentic portrayal from the start.

Now the true colors of the media apparatus become clear. Large recognizable outfits (NYT and Vice), opperating in coordinated unison, as fellow collaborators to destroy an oddity that threatens to tarnish what can longer possibly be anything but a carefully orchestrated propaganda program.

An example of a highly sexualized MTF transexual that readily outperforms women is patently incompatible with concepts like women in tech and #metoo, and therefore must be destroyed.

That Vice might play the role of a villain with teeth is less of a surprise, but that The New York Times acted in concert is doubly interesting, since we now can view evidence of the methods thet employ to keep their hands clean and their fingerprints away from the dirty work.
Ex Amazon here. We never asked silly puzzle questions, but asking questions about algorithmic complexity paid off when hiring strong, senior engineers.

> Much more important is to have the experience of how code complexity accumulates, and how to mitigate that

That's part of the reason. The average developer knows how to pick a popular library and throw code at it until it works. When entire teams do that you end up with endless complexity.

That's why Google and Amazon are known for [re]inventing their own solutions.

I have an expression I like to use, “It’s all about merit until merit has tits.”

I'm very sorry for her negative experiences. From what I have read, she's genuinely been mistreated and I wish we lived in a better world.

I'm well aware that sexism is alive and well. I'm reasonably vocal about my own frustrations and I'm frequently treated dismissively myself in a manner that looks suspiciously like sexism. I'm also guilty of not reading the entire article here, much less following the long backstory in any real depth over time.

But she had breast implant surgery and her enormous artificial breasts are a significant part of her identity. She strongly emphasizes that element of her appearance in how she dresses and how she frames photos of herself that she posts to the internet, then justifies her style of dress as "It's not a problem in my city and I would dress appropriately if I visited your city" while not acknowledging that the photos on the internet are in a different context. That when she posts online, in some sense, she's no longer in her city anymore. She doesn't have to dress differently in her city to downplay this intentionally emphasized aspect of herself while on the internet.

She basically insists that she has a right to express herself as she sees fit when it comes to body modifications and clothing, then vocally complains when the hypersexualized image she intentionally crafts and promotes gets her treated like a sex object.

I have spent more than nine years participating on HN. It was unexpected drama at first, but has gradually gotten better. I have put a lot of time and effort into trying to figure out where I could do things differently in order to try to put down the enormous burden of cultural baggage from a very long history of gender stuff on the planet.

The approach she has taken generally strikes me as "putting out the fire with gasoline."

I have hesitated to say anything about it because it's likely to be interpreted as victim blaming and that's really not my intent at all. I think women need to know what works and what doesn't.

I am in no way suggesting she was wrong to get breast implants, nor am I suggesting she should dress differently. I'm only saying she is entirely free to do both of those things without putting her tits front and center in soft porn style photos on what seems like all her social media platforms while bitching no one takes her seriously as a tech expert. I am unaware of any male tech experts who, say, put their genitals on display for all the world to see and then complain that it is all anyone talks about or something along those lines.

I sincerely wish I could help her. I have never bothered to reach out to her because I have zero reason to believe she would take anything I think as sincerely helpful. I have lots of reasons to think it would go over so poorly that it's a game where the only winning move is not to play.

I am absolutely not saying this to cause her trouble nor to dismiss any of the genuinely bad behavior she's been subjected to by various parties.
The same thing we do if it is indirectly correlated with, say, skin color, gender, or being named “Smith”.
For those who also use Matlab/Simulink for simulation, Modelica could be a nice alternative with an open implementation, which also has serious industrial application like controlling power plants.

Mildly unrelated, but there should be a nice and polite in-person variation of RTFM. It is certainly annoying when certain questions are asked but they are just a google away.
Its interesting but also worrying. This is pretty much doxxing under the guise of intellectual curiosity.

If the article explained why they wanted to identify this account then fair enough. However you are going to end up in an ethical slippery slope were it will be used to doxx people who are controversial, troll, political dissidents and whistle blowers.

Articles about sexism seem to be particularly hard to do well. The ways in which they go wrong tend to not fare well on HN, sometimes for good reasons and sometimes not so good.

I see the ChromeOS team has their own set of scripts to run ChromeOS on KVM, but they are Linux-only it seems. Bad luck :P

I also tried the first option for native but it froze while the "ChromiumOS" logo was shown.
So the safety argument isn't real then. It's a comfort argument.
The best part about HN is that you do NOT know who upvoted or downvoted you! I think the makers of this forum are wise also to prevent you from voting on posts that reply to you! That's next level "Grandpa" wisdom (and I am 46 but I still appreciate this architecturally embedded wisdom).

What I'd love however are these two features:

1) The ability to be notified that a user you are interested in "following" has recently commented or posted.

2) The ability to see which comments/posts of yours have been upvoted or downvoted in chronological order. (Sometimes I will sit with a static karma number for months and then I'll see a surprising +1 but fail to decipher which of my historical posts suddenly got upvoted. It's a good feeling but I'd want to know which post was responsible.)
These interviews do filter out any engineers that can't solve these algorithm problems on a whiteboard, but they don't necessarily filter out people who have a proven business track record and can get projects done on time and under budget.

I think the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none" is overused and doesn't hold a lot of truth. It's very possible to have a lot of experience and skill in many different areas. Maybe there's even a positive correlation between being a very good programmer that can pass whiteboard interviews, and being a pragmatic, get-it-done type of engineer.
Only slightly related, but I once had a chromebook I was very happy about, until after a few years it just failed to boot. I've repaired many linux laptops in my life, usually using an USB key to boot a live system and fix the disk-drive or something. But with this chromebook, there was absolutely nothing I could do. No access to something like a DOS or anything, nothing booted from the USB port. Just a black screen.

I've never bought any chromebook since.

Was I just unlucky and should I git it an other try?
The MIDI protocol is very specific to music, it works in the context of "note on, key pressed this hard. other note on. note off. note off." etc.

The "normal" connectors are fairly bulky by modern standards (large DIN-style, like on really old keyboards and mice).

The electric level would have been a good basis, so one could imagine a world where MIDI was extended to also transport keyboard keypresses etc, but it would have meant extending the protocol quite a bit, or weirdly mapping concepts onto the music-specific basics. (EDIT: actually, it might be kind of overkill, and thus more expensive than simpler methods. What's useful in a large studio or stage environment isn't really needed on my desk)
Oh. This one. I discovered it a couple weeks ago, and since then I keep wondering - how what's essentially a statistics toolkit can get called a standard library? In every language I can think of that actually has a standard library, the library has very little to do with mathematics.
Bison are back, and that benefits many other species on the Great Plains
the bits which get a bit confusing are for example:
- "developers control when these kinds of changes are integrated"
- "We want developers to be able to decide when to merge this kind of PR in conjuction with other PRs"

it implicates that the developer who wrote the code, controls when it gets merged without a "proper" review

of course i'm unaware of your codebase and your entire workflow, but a change / addition in a swagger file implicates a change in an endpoint of your api. how do you make sure other applications / resources with the changed library as a dependency, don't run into problems when you're auto merging and auto bumping dependencies?

The idea of the manager being paternalistic is stupid, but manager as tool is not.

What if the narrative villifies the less charismatic individual sufficiently?

Instead of the manager arriving to rescue other customers, the manager plays the role of a tool.

What if the other customers used the manager as a tool, and being a dimwitted jerk, he took the cue as an opportunity to engaging misanthropic behavior. Other girls at the bar wanted to cause harm to someone they didn’t like the looks of, so they complain to the manager, craft a lie, and the manager takes the bait, enforcing the will of malicious tattletales?

Or, what if the manager is actually operating the bar as a front for a nearby hotel brothel, and at the request of a pimp, ousted an unfamiliar face that seemed to be a threat to business?

Would these versions be juicy enough to satisfy a quest for truth?
Well, it actually runs on low end hardware with that resolution. It's also meant as educational tool, and for kids creating small pixel sprites is certainly easier than high res high quality graphics.
It can still be used for optimization in many cases depending on the language, e.g by generating specialised versions and shunting calls from known call sites to the specialised version when you can either guarantee the guesses are right or cheaply lift guards up the call stack.

I have used Matlab and GNU/Octave in parallel for some years half a decade ago. Octave can do most things that I needed but was slower to run for many things. With Octave you didn't run into licensing problems as those floating licenses had their limits and sometimes I needed to run quite a few instances in parallel.

Now I use Python exclusively. The language is so much better and more sane and almost any library is available. I will never go back.

Today, I would recommend Matlab only in rare circumstances. Currently I cannot think of one use case that I had in the last three years where I would prefer Matlab to Python. Using the Matlab language with a portable Octave installation can be useful for teaching matrix/vector topics to people who have little programming experience and don't know Python. You can get results very quickly. The syntax feels most natural for manipulating matrices and everything seems to be a matrix.

Other than that I think the Matlab language and ecosystem is kind of a dead end. But it will provide profits for a few more decades due to sheer inertia.

Try the second option (cloudready). It should have undergone more testing.
I would agree. But think of the logistics for this feature: in order for you to downvote, you have to provide a reason. Should we show the userId for the comment? If so, we defeat the anonymous voting feature. If not, comments can become fertile ground for trolling. (Of course admin can identify the anonymous comment writer but we do not want to create a mods-heavy forum a la Reddit).

I think a standard choice list for downvoting may not be a bad idea. The choice list can begin with all the regular logical fallacies (ad homimen, non-sequiter, false equivalance, appeal to authority etc). That way, I'd guess, the community improves its ability to argue thoughtfully and logically.

I love HN. It's the one forum I will never consider a total waste of time.

Given that Wifi chips already have their own ARM CPU, at this point I'd rather have that CPU which already runs its own OS to just present as a network device to do NAT. Connect it to the fixed network, use a serial link - anything will do.

At least, I'd rather have anything but the current alternative: a device on the PCI bus having DMA with a firmware I can't audit.

Same thing with WWAN device by the way.

Eh, they can't prove who is or is not a call girl. They have blunt tools at their disposal for trying to "crack down" on this, such as saying "Hookers typically sit alone at the bar. So no more single women sitting alone at the bar."

I'm not saying it's fair. I'm just saying they may have valid reasons for the policy of cracking down on sex workers and they don't need to have actually mistaken her for a sex worker per se to decide this policy applies to her.
