You're completely misunderstanding. No, there's nothing extra in the 192kHz signal that would help, but that's not the point. Just remastering it for vinyl, which has certain limitations, might make it sound better than the digital format. As I said, you cannot just cut CD audio to vinyl; the medium won't allow it. You'll probably have the needle bouncing out of the track. So remastering for vinyl might actually make it sound better than the abomination that is the sound of modern CD-audio (because of the Loudness War and extreme compression), not because the fidelity is better (in fact, quite the opposite), but because vinyl's limitations will prevent them from making the audio sound as horrible as it does on CD.

Very insightful! art definitely sure look like it is the prime example of how important networks are, in my opinion art is entirely subjective, no matter if we are talking if it's modern or not, we really can't measure it with objective standards.

I think this article kind of gave me an inspiration to go out and get involved more, I definitely worry too much about my performance in my field and not really on how I interact.
At some point isn’t it a better use of the real estate for them to switch business models and start distributing something of higher margin and with more demand?

They could probably convert to coffee shops or gun stores and do better in those markets.

Not knocking gun culture. I lived and still often work in the Midwest.
Young, sure. Talented, maybe. But attractive is probably not what you're optimizing for if you're hanging out in the art scene. Might have better luck in the fashion world
It's sorta kinda both. The original implementation was in OCaml, and many of the early developers were big ML fans. But we also tried to keep syntax more C-like, overall.

"It's a C-like OCaml" was how Rust was originally described to me, when I first heard of it.
Meanwhile, some small startup is using newer technology that makes them many times more efficient. And allows them to utilize their IT as a core part of their product, instead of an internal utility service. And stealing all your customers.

Of course, there are industries that are immune to startup competition due to the high barrier of entry (banks, insurance, governments). I don't think it is a coincidence that these are about the only environments where mainframes are still dominant.
x64's changes to memory ordering guarantees that would theoretically give it more room for optimization as compared to x86 are purely hypothetical. In practice, so much real-world code was written for and battle-tested on x86's extremely generous ordering, and Intel does not avail itself of performance gains it could do at the risk of completely breaking traditional software (even when not running in x86_64 mode).
Sure, I get that it's important for your product to attract developers in order to present a thriving software ecosystem to the users. It is, but the users don't care how you do it. So marketing developer-centric features to end users is a waste of time and money.
> I'm wondering if there's a future down the road for multi-platform desktop apps with the convenience of Electron-like development and distribution, but where the native clients are able to be much thinner than a whole browser.

I sure hope so! It's no secret that I've been hoping that someone will put together all the pieces we've been developing—WebRender, Pathfinder, gfx-rs, font-kit, skribo, etc.—and create a lightweight UI framework for Rust. None of us have the time to do so, but all the pieces are there…
If my credit card had an APR of ~400% I would be ruined.
Thankfully for me, I have enough financial assets that I will never have to take out a payday loan.

But for people who desperately need money now, and have no other choice, they're forced to accept these rates.
It's profiteering on the backs of the very weakest people in society. That's obscene to me.

If this is indeed is a valuable service to society, cap the rates, and force them to be disclosed up front.
The annual rates are around 390%, and often cause bankruptcy:

>Generally speaking, the golden rule of public policy is that policy begins where markets fail.

Too bad the people writing policy don't follow that rule. It seems like they're eager to use policy to meddle in things that are working and won't use it to fix things that are broken.
This deprecates the old gfx (also called "pre-ll" for pre-low-level), which you can find at [1]. The new gfx (also called "gfx-hal" for hardware abstraction layer) is not deprecated, clearly, since wgpu-rs runs on it :)

There's a cool isometric stealth game called Robin of Sherwood, where you can follow what the guards are doing. A guard might accidentally stumble upon someone you killed, be alarmed, look around, run off to warn their commander, then the commander organises a search for the culprit, with lots of guards explicitly looking for you everywhere. Eventually if they can't find you, the whole thing dies down and everybody resumes their original duties, assuming the dead body was just a fluke or something.

Also, if they find someone you merely knocked unconscious, they assume they'd been sleeping on the job. If you tied them up, they free them, but I forgot if they search for you or if they just assume they got accidentally tied up somehow.

Also, you'd think they might raise the alarm if they find less and less guards present at their assigned post.
IDEs and productivity tools often approximate a tile-based window managers where you can collapse all but the central tile (or conversely, put the central one in fullscreen) if you want the maximal real estate for the content instead of the auxiliary bars and then slide them in for a moment when you need them.

This mode seems suited for mobile UIs, so that flexibility should get them pretty close to being convergent. There probably still need to be some adjustments to make it really usable on mobile, but a lot of the work has already been done.
I wonder why we don't have pay-as-you go for income. There is no particular reason we couldn't pay people at the end of every day just as easily as every two weeks or once a month.

> Now that is really hard because "the system isn't set up like that"

No, it's really hard because systems (technology secondarily, primarily policy and administrative controls) are set up to prevent the discretion that practice relied on because it was a giant and frequently exploited opportunity for embezzlement, favoritism, and unlawful discrimination (including quid pro quo sexual harassment) by line and middle managers.

It's not just an incidentally unsupported function.
How about, instead of creating applications that are on all levels a compromise between the two, just create applications that work hard to decouple their UIs (view/presentation layer) from their business logic; and then, for each application, write a small touch UI, a large touch UI, and a desktop UI, as separate view layers, all living together in a monorepo.

Or, in other words, do what any third-party app developer who ships apps for iOS+macOS from a single XCode project source does—but build your whole OS like that.

As well, ideally, the view layer would be modular enough that it could be unloaded and reloaded at runtime, such that you'd be able to dock your phone to an external display and have all your running applications switch to their desktop UI view-layers without losing state.
I think there are some practical consequences to his line of thought that bear scrutiny. For Hardin, the base consumptive unit is racial or national; the world can be understood as races (and, within races, differing social classes) competing to devour scarce resources by outbreeding each other. In other words, for Hardin the mathematical model is a springboard into a racial-supremacist and social-Darwinian worldview.

Practically, this means that Hardin’s prescriptions tend towards what can be called without irony “eco-fascism;” of course we need government intervention into “breeding,” to prevent the lower classes from breeding us into imbicility! Of course we need to be vigilant lest the Muslims/Africans/Latinos outbreed us! Hardin’s worldview is a bleak, intolerant vision of race wars over shrinking resource bases, eternally.

Contrast with a more (clasically) liberal view of the TotC as a market failure based on insufficient information and incorrect pricing. In this view, the problem is simply that the regulative norms of the market need to be adjusted (through carbon taxes, cap-and-trade, etc), and we can collaboratively (and democratically) work to ensure ecological sustainability (I’ll leave aside caveats regarding the current state of global and national political polarization).

So, practically speaking, Hardin’s analysis needs to be heavily caveated at a minimum, or exhaustively analyzed to better understand the political and social dynamics of environmentalist theory and practice. Certainly, it helps explain why, though environmentalists are not themselves attracted to fascism, why some fascists are attracted to their own form of environmentalism.

My point being that even though the brains are similar at birth, the hormones are bound to have effects on it while the individual grows up. As such ending up with a male or female brain, categorized by the amount of testosterone it have been subject to. Anything else is sounds utterly absurd to me. Had I been suggesting that stress-hormones in teenagers would cause changes in the brain I'm sure you wouldn't fall into this predictable nonscientific dogma that everybody is exactly the same.

> This even proves the point
You could go even further and say that I was critiquing her for trying to replace one set of cultural dogma with another. Nobody questions the influence of cultures upon human being.

Not a discussion that I intended, but is it not a good thing that society prepares individuals with fundamental physical differences in different ways. Wouldn't in a sense a culture that failed to inform it's offspring on the fundamentals of their existence be amoral at best and disastrously inefficient at worst?

> We went from loin cloths to rockets with the same genetic code,
Did we really, this is an exciting scientific discovery that you've made. Please enlighten us on exactly when evolution in human beings stopped?

Last but not least I take great offence of being accused of being someone with the hidden agenda of trying to oppress and control half of the human population, for my own benefit. Had I've been doing this for my own self interest I probably had not dared publicly criticized, what many feels to be a controversial issue.

In a better world this would immediately trigger an open source release of the software both on the robot, and the server side systems that run it. Not that users necessarily could re-engineer all those systems, but it'd give them some means to start to continue to meaningfully own the item they by rights do own.
>Ehh... Not having objective, quantitative metrics is not the same thing as having no quality what so ever.

I am shocked that in 2019 there are adults walking around with this epistemology. Every quantitative metric is an exercise in narrative. The notion of objectivity is an appealing construct in a world constructed by second hand observations, but alas, it remains just another implement in the narrative toolkit.

Hey all! This is a passion project of mine.

I crawl street art images from online resources and log the ones that have lat/lon points. I have a series of web apps that work together to make this app possible.

I wrote a bit about the technical parts here: https://medium.com/email-newsletter-stand/how-public-art-wor...
I have always strongly believed that "Tech skills make you good. Other skills make you better."

OP brings up a lot of good points (who could argue with these), but overlooks my #1 fundamental: If you can't write good code, not much else matters.

I know lots of programmers who have mastered the technical skills but are weak at the other things, so no one would ever mistake them for "senior", no matter how good their code is.

But I know many more "I.T. people" who are good at the "soft stuff" (analysis, design, product ownership, people management, agile, etc.) but can't code. I don't want to sound snarky, but these people are a dime a dozen. They often have great attention to detail and patience, but would you really entrust them to build your software?

Learn how to build software first. Be able to do that well before adding the soft skills.

That's the most important software dev skill needed. And it is most definitely "technical".
It's possible that a specific genetic makeup or upbringing may also play a role in the outcome.

But it helps if you can somehow see your tragedy as also the thing that eventually lead to a better life. The type of "every kick in the butt is one step forward". I've met many people (close friends included) who are genuinely at peace with certain tragic/life altering events from childhood or adulthood because without that they would have or be less than they do now.

Of course sometimes you simply can't see that event as bringing anything remotely good in your life and have to wrestle with those issues for a long time.
Your only point is that the suggestion of the earth supporting 10bn people is akin to terrorism (which you later amended to "intellectual terrorism"), which I'd argue is objectively disingenuous... and completely pointless.

This is sophistry - the Remain campaign was the government. It was the official position of the government and the entire thing was organised by them. There was simply no distinction between them at all.

Again, people here are finding ways to excuse behaviour for their favoured team based on legalistic readings of the rules. Which is fine, if it's applied consistently. Of course it isn't because the goal here is not to be fairly applying campaigning rules, but rather to try and stop the UK leaving the EU via any means possible.

I don't know why more tech companies don't do apprenticeships straight out of highschool. You can pay a high school student with some programming experience a fraction of the salary of a college graduate and it probably doesn't take that much longer to get them productive and they won't be saddled with student loan debt.
This is easier to know for new cars than old, because it's only been measured consistently since 2008.

fueleconomy.gov will let you look up cars, and the "Energy and Environment" tab will show you CO2 emissions and greenhouse gas emissions, each on a grams/mile driven scale.

A 2019 Volve V90 station wagon emits 328g/mile of CO2 and 444g/mile of GHG.

A 2019 Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid emits 51g/mile of CO2 at the tailpipe and 140g/mile total including the upstream electricity production, assuming you live in Beverly Hills.

A 2019 Tesla S P100D emits nothing at the tailpipe and 120g/mile.

A 2019 Honda Accord Sport/Touring is 345g/mile CO2 and 410g/mile total GHG.

Does that help?
Powering off pieces of silicon when they are not needed is done through "clock gating", where you stop feeding a clock to a block that is not needed.

That is only possible when you deal with isolated parts. You cannot, for example, power down an instruction decoders ability to understand different syntaxes, but only power down the entire instruction decoder. Trying to design it so that sub-features of a block like that can be powered down would not be productive.

A realistic clock-gating would be something like powering down the actual execution units ("We don't need AVX-512, so lets not waste power on the execution units"), but that doesn't help in saving power wasted on legacy.

I read it differently, but I don't think the author was saying art has no quality in the way you're interpreting it at the end of your sentence, in the sense of value or anything to offer. I interpreted them to mean that there's no way to objectively determinine that value, so practically speaking there's no objective quality in art. I think there's even a sentence or two where they try to make clear that they're not questioning art's value, just our ability to determine that value in real terms.

I agree that the author's choice of words was probably kind of poor. But I interpreted the article to mean that as it becomes more difficult to determine inherent worth in an area, success becomes more and more dependent on social networking effects per se. If you need a hammer, it has a specific function, and you can quantify that function in various ways. But if you're talking about something where the value is unknown, either because no one knows the ultimate truth, or because it's based on subjective experience or something, you can't quantify it, so you go back to networks.

This author has been making the rounds a bit in the last few years, and I think they've done research on these topics. Their argument is that network effects are very strong, and account for a lot of variability in outcomes that are popularly attributed to individuals (broadly defined).
The part of medicine that's often overlooked is the creation of new medicine. Usually the discussion goes along the lines of "we can make pill X for $0.1 each, but these greedy pharmaceutical companies just want profits". But what they're missing is that without those pharmaceutical companies we probably would have far fewer treatments/drugs in the first place. Doctors and labs need money to run. Investors help with that. If you chase investors out then less research will be done. You won't feel it immediately but after a decade or two it will catch up with us.

I agree generally, but I don't think the problem with regulators is overheads. If it was just a matter of cost, I'd say we (as consumers and/or citizens) should pay it.

The problem is more complicated. "Regulation" (as it's usually done via a regulator) creates centralisation, usually. IE, fewer, bigger players. It creates a rigidity, where the way things are is locked in, incumbent companies and ways of doing things become hopelessly intertwined with regulationary systems.

Regulation also tends strongly towards bureaucracy, and it's impossible to tell where a company's bureaucracy starts and the regulatory bureaucracy begins. I've seen this happen in companies. "Compliance" becomes a magic word that justifies senselessness, wins every argument, and puts lawyers in command.

Idk what the answers are. Like you, I think there are plenty of problems that cannot stand. Left totally unregulated, payday loans gets very ugly. Pushed to the black market, it gets even uglier.

Itoh, I feel like we should reject the choice between known-2-be-bad regulatory regimes and the often worse problems they attempt to solve.

My best guess would be to try and make micro-lending a public or charitable service. Maybe it just doesn't lend well to a for-profit business model... But, I don't really know.
Perhaps one reason is that job-hopping is very common in the tech industry. I wouldn't expect many apprentices to hang around long enough for there to be a payoff to the employer.
DeepMind is asking how Google helped turn the internet into an echo chamber
This can be a double-edged sword when it comes to coding, as code and documentation can very easily fall out of sync. I am in favour of trying to write self-documenting code, with clear unit and variable names, with an automated system to convert that to a human-readable format. Any separate documentation should focus on more areas that are not easily concluded from the code -- like intent, architecture and the like.
