It says in the article that the tag engine runs on GPUs so there's a need for a fast CUDA processor during dev. Also, Intel integrated graphics drivers are still a pain and have issues with some displays.
Definitely could be, but they must have gone through the trouble of setting up a larger number of little nodes if that's the case, as a lot of the largest exit nodes on the network have known operators. For example, as of a few weeks ago, a friend/grad students put up a top 5 (by bandwidth) in the US in the Media Lab at MIT, and a different friend ran a top 10 out of an MIT dorm room a few years ago before eventually getting shut down by admins. Fortunately, this one will likely stay up as it's under Joi Ito's purview now.
I have used yowsup for some time, bans were not the issue. However there is a keying issue, leading to failed messages. Ultimately I had to switch to some Web API, as the 'official' version hasn't been updated for some time.

The first few dictionaries I looked at online said, in the first or second definition for “average”, something about it being “mean, median, or mode”:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/average
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/average
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/average

I agree that arithmetic mean is usually what’s meant, but clearly median and mode can also be rightfully called “averages”.

Chinese book market, or fiction market has now almost fully embraced digital self-publishing. Magazine are now almost dead, books are just physical copies of their online version.

Sad but true, the one most important Chinese SF magazine, the SF World, where all the mentioned authors started their career, has been hanging on the edge and gradually becoming irrelevant for some time now.

The new generation of readers has put their vote on longer, daily updated, fast paced Wuxia(Martial Arts)/Xianxia(Martial Arts with Fantasy element) series, which focuses entirely on pleasing the readership with favorable characters/troupes.

With a strangling market, I wouldn't say the Chinese science fiction's future is a bright one.

I got involved in the SAME era, reading the same QB tutorials (remember Tsugumo or Gradius?).
It changed the trajectory of my life forever. Called another guy from the same era after finding his github page 1 or 2 years ago. He is a PhD making ~$300k on Wall Street and I'm a senior leader, only slightly behind him, doing tech consulting. Needless to say, writing code early puts you on an advanced path. Neither of us came from privileged families, but we found a need in the market for highly skilled programming combined with great communication. If you are reading this comment, you have 100% definitely used or seen one of the systems I have helped build. QB was the beginning for many of us. No doubt JavaScript will do similar things for this generation.
Just spitballing some ideas:

* Create some kind of soundfont variant that uses 32kbit Opus for each instrument - yes, 32kbit is enough for good quality sound

* Offer a paid tier that renders the midi through something for playback, and/or hit up some companies for hosting

This was my first reaction too, especially after the line about “figuring out how to pay him more without having him lose access to different low-income programs for which he currently qualifies.”

But they get into the actual wages below, and while it is absurd to me that servers are making almost double what the cooks are, what’s even more insane is that both of them are paid an absolute shitton by restaurant standards nationwide.

50k per year puts you at the top end of Cooks in the entire country. Hell, anywhere but SF, that is still solid middle class wages regardless of job, and in a field where customarily only the truly high end even bothers to pay more than minimum wage.

I would’ve donated a spare kidney to make that kind of money when I was still cooking. And the idea that that is still not enough to survive even rent should be a massive alarm bell that something is deeply fucked with your economy.
They are certainly more expensive than the discount airlines, but it comes close when you add up the costs of getting too and from the airport. I easily justify the extra euros for the half day saved by not hanging around in airports and security queues.

Also, book early for better train prices.
Has anyone tried signing up for remote.com?

I just did and they wanted an email for jobs which I thought was OK.

Then I tried to add a profile and it prompted me to export my entire LinkedIn history. It says to export "The Works".

My LinkedIn is quite massive and I've checked the export for "The Works" includes my entire contact list.

That's pretty shady. Why not just import my profile? There's an option to export only profile data. How many people will follow these default instructions and upload everything they have ever done on LinkedIn?

I'm reminded of this part of David Chang's take on "the next global food mecca" being Houston, a city in many ways the complete opposite of SF:

I've always wondered where the food in a Blade Runner-like future would appear first and what it would taste like—and I genuinely believe it's here.

Partly that's due to a demographic reality: By some measures, Houston is the U.S.A.'s most ethnically diverse city (a bunch of New Yorkers just choked on their halal kebabs reading that, but it's true), and when you get a collision of immigrants, the food scene is guaranteed to be bonkers.

Houston also has cheap commercial and residential rents—oh, and no state income tax—which means broke-ass cooks and chefs can afford to live and open here. Zoning laws are more permissive than an Amsterdam brothel. And customers have cash to spend.

Added disclaimer- I grew up in SF and left in 2005. I live in Houston now.

I accidentally read the third book in the trilogy first. I didn't notice until I finished it and looked for the second one. I was in camping mode on a kindle with a pirated copy. But I still remember the first chapter of that book, about buying the star, it was so beautiful I almost cried. I stayed awake all night reading. And I remember slowly learning about the Trisolarans and about the history of the wallfacers, and the centuries of conflict between earth and this other civilization. I thought it was just hard sci-fi and I loved it. I later picked up the first and second. They were great but never came close to how special my experience was of reading the third, and I'm even thankful for having read it first.
> You end up writing a tremendous amount of documentation that is really ephemeral

Yet I find that writing more about what I’m doing (most commonly in the form of extensive code comments and verbose commit messages, but also in other forms) helps me produce better work.

Time and time again I explain in writing how something is or why it’s done the way it is, and realise in the process substantial ways in which it might be improved; or how it’s actually completely broken for an important case that I hadn’t considered; or any number of other reasons why further work is desirable.

As others pointed out in a previous post, the predicted market expansion for satellite launches has not really materialized yet despite SpaceX's low launch prices. Combined with most of their first stage boosters now being reused (multiple times), there's just less need for the assembly/fabrication type jobs required to build new Falcon rockets. Thus the layoff is just decreasing headcount to match their fabrication capacity to actual market demand.
Where is the app itself?
That doesn't sound like near-future fiction. That sounds like 20 years ago but without the part that the government promises to only do this for "good" reasons.
I had several lever-arch folders of printed-out websites. Dial-up in the UK was too expensive to 'look it up again when I need it' so it was committed to hard-copy. I particularly remember NASA aerospace projects and the script of Aliens!

Also common was dialling-in to download e-mail and Usenet and then going offline again to read them and compile responses which were cached until the next dial-in. Communication was much more async back then.

I never really got into IRC as that required 'wasting phone time', in the UK we were charged by the minute just like a local phone call. So you made a plan, connected and went as fast as possible. This was assisted with printed Web Directory books which had URLs and summaries of the websites' contents!
The launch market for commercial customers is very small, and any hint of economic downturn hits capital asset investment (ie satellites) proactively. To me, this sounds like another ominous indicator of an imminent economic downturn.

I am tempted to draw a parallel with NYC. And London.

NYC cleaned up and it used to be as gnarly as SF is now. SF is like 80s NYC.

Both London and NYC have excellent networked public transport. The population is all kinds of diverse. We don’t. People are free to move around. We are not.

SF politics is a stumbling block. Any kind of high density building plan will fail unless infrastructure and public transport network is bolstered BEFORE building more.

I've not really used RSS and it's certainly never been a critical part of my Desktop/Laptop workflow. The first time it was exposed to me was through Firefox live bookmarks which I thought was pretty cool. Then I believe they removed the feature or just took out the bundled ones.

It wasn't until working on blogs that I became aware that RSS was much used. If we had some javascript get injected into the generated rss files (common with wordpress), users would complain the feeds would stop working. I'd get it fixed, but unless someone was asking for a live feed to be syndicated on another website, I just haven't used it personally.

I remember some news apps for phones like Pulse that seemed to run on RSS feeds for a bit. But that's about what I assume the majority of the population experiences of RSS. It runs some things like podcasts 'under the hood' but where does a new user get introduced to it?

I run entirely off emails, every email that comes in gets an action (usually delete, respond, or file). People in here talking about relying on RSS, what software do you even use it with? (don't give podcast apps please)
If anybody wants to try RSS a great desktop app for Windows,Mac OSX, OS/2, and of course Linux/BSD, I recommend quiterss.

The feature that converted me was the ability to have notifications, but adblock is nice as well. I have feeds for when an item appears that I want to purchase in search results at the price I want, I get notification when stories appear on reddit according to my criteria, and when I want to catch a livestream live or just a newly uploaded video, you can use the channel's feed to be notified as Youtube notification is quite often broken.

Here is the list of most significant features: https://quiterss.org/en/about

I also tried rssowl, thunderbird, and more, but quiterss is one of the few still actively developed.

---

Just to give some examples for people who haven't tried it out before, to get the latest JoeRogan podcast for example you can use the following url in your rss reader:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCzQUP1q...

You can replace channel_id with whoever you want to monitor.

Like a blog on blogspot? Then try https://username.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss and get notified for all the latest stories, and on most of them, read them as well without ever leaving your reader.

For reddit just add .rss to then end of almost any url, like https://www.reddit.com/r/hackernews/.rss , many also support .json for the programmer in you.

While there are dozens of decent ways to get notified about changes on a project at github, if you just want a quick way to watch things, add ".atom" to the end of urls involving but not limited to commits,tags,and releases, such as https://github.com/HackerNews/API/commits/master.atom and also consider looking at https://bandito.re/ .

You can usually check the source code for a page for the words rss/feed/atom if your reader is having trouble and find the url manually. Also try appending /feed or /rss yourself and see what happens. Also try googling, which also still has rss feeds for google news among other places on their site if you look hard enough, it is used internally quite extensively.

And of course this place supports it, the feed for here is https://news.ycombinator.com/rss , give it a shot.
How to Hack Facebook Account Using Phishing
Big fan, I use it everyday.

That said, I do have one small complaint. It is with a change just made in the last few days: the new iOS app update makes it so if you are on the list of all unread articles and you swipe left to mark an article as read, then the article disappears from the list. I’ve repeatedly accidentally marked an article as read and then had to go searching through all my feeds to find it. Instead, it should have the old behavior where it removes the “NEW” icon but otherwise doesn’t change. The app currently still had this behavior when you actually open the article and view it. Even better would be a complete feed sorted by date that shows both read and unread but has unread at the top. This would be similar to how the iOS mail app works.
The ending was incredibly sad. You don't need someone like that in your life, anyway...

It was at very least sarcastic if not outright hostile in tone. Perhaps you didn't mean it that way but it's hard to really read it any other way IMO.

If you want to have a conversation about the merits of Node and the JavaScript ecosystem at large. I am happy to do so but only if we keep things civil and constructive. Furthermore, I am not trying to have a Node vs Python debate here. I was asking about the merits of Python and why people are choosing it. There's clearly something there so I wanted to know because it goes about doing things so differently than I am used to. If you look at some of the other comments, you'll see that's exactly what I got.

So with that hopefully cleared up, are you wanting me to discuss why I prefer the JavaScript/Node stack over some of the other languages I've worked with? Happy to give a rundown and answer questions. The node_modules thing for instance:

Yes that is problematic although less so than it used to be. The latest versions of NPM and Yarn do a great job of resolving the dependency tree in a much saner and more predictable way with lock files and such which means you get a flatter tree with no duplicate deps. That still leaves us with a giant gob of code. This is more problematic on the front end with an SPA so lets use that. Obviously you don't want to load crap loads of JS on the page that you don't need so you leverage things like lazy module loading, tree shaking (literally discarding dead unused code in your bundle), and code splitting. Tools like Babel, Webpack, NextJS, and Parcel are really good at that kind of thing. There's also server side rendering where you hydrate your app with everything it needs on page load for a lighting fast first paint. The point is that all that stuff in your node_modules folder doesn't necessarily get loaded into your final app. I have been seeing some really interesting work coming from the NPM team recently where they are working on way to work with no node_modules folder at all! Literally JIT install from your import statements.

If there's anything else you want to discuss, a question or something, fire away.
If that were the case itd have happened already.
True dat!

For me, RSS is by far (still) the best way to access web content.

I've tried some self hosted RSS readers over the years but I've stayed with FreshRSS[1] for the last year. It has been a marvelous experience. Zero trouble, zero administrative burden. Self-hosted bliss. Best of all is the fact that it uses a flat file DB so it can easily be backed up, moved around and migrated. Can not recommend it enough. Also, it's PHP, so works on any cheap shared hosting. That's how I use it.

One of the best things about it is escaping the algorithmically curated feeds.

Every site and service that I wish to follow has an RSS feed, except for Twitter. I use RSS-Bridge[2] (self hosted too) to follow users. RSS-Bridge[2] will give you feeds for just about every service you can think of.

If you don't find a feed for a site, sometimes you just have to dig a little. You learn at which URIs the most commons CMSes presents their Atom/RSS feeds (hello /feed/).

What you describe sounds very similar to my take on the Rubber Ducky method, except with writing things down instead of talking out loud. I think what works is the act of putting your thoughts out into a form you can then turn out and think of as external, then respond to. This enables you to look at it from an "outside perspective" even if it's literally your own perspective. It's hard to challenge your own ideas if you don't put yourself into that seat.
I use a dedicated RSS feeder app to see blog posts from dozens of different blogs that update on frequencies ranging from ten times a day to once a year. It’s also useful for webcomics like xkcd.
