I see a lot of scepticism towards CrossFit here and it's probably with good reason, but I just want to add that your experience with the method of training is very dependant on the actual gym you go to.

Where I started training (and I was like the definition of "out of shape") the coaches preach form > intensity every step of the way and actually forbid you to do any dynamic movement before you have not sufficently mastered the strict equivalent. That said, I have also met Crossfitters that can do ten unbroken kipping pull ups and not a single strict one, which is obviously incredibly irresponsible and stupid.

I have now moved away from doing regular CrossFit workouts for many of the reasons listed in this thread, but I can honestly say, that changing my habits from couchpotato to fit dude would have not happened if it wasn't for the community and the style of training I have encoutered there. I learned how to backsquat there, I learned how to lock in my shoulders there, I learned how to stretch there, I learned about the basics of training methodology there. This would have never happend if I would have just gone to Planet Fitness (or whatever) on my own.
> just aren't getting many streams

Exactly, yes. But many fans (of other artists; when referring to myself we'll have sampling bias) actually have no idea that their $5 doesn't go directly to the songs they listen to in a month.

> let's say

I would happily accept if we can cut out transaction costs. My idea of a "good" streaming platform for music is one with only a flat rate (say $5), no free option, and no pooling. That means that if I listen to Scatman once in the month and it is the only song I listened to, then John Larkin's estate should get exactly $5, min some small platform fee. (Sorry for picking a dead artist; royalties after death is complicated. Personally I guess I would limit mine to about 10 years, but then again I don't receive any royalties.)
Most CrossFit gyms aim for good form and control. All workouts can be scaled, if you can't lift a certain weight, or perform a certain movement you scale it down to a weight or movement you can do comfortably.

For instance, if you were asked to perform a workout which required handstand push-ups and you couldn't do them, you could scale to a box and do a more triangular movement, or you could grab some dumbbells and push-press. If a movement said 100kg deadlift and you can only comfortably deadlift 40kg then you would use 40kg instead.

Most coaches will talk through this and if you have questions, they'll mostly be happy to answer. Of course there are some coaches out there which aren't doing their job correctly, but most of them are really good at what they do.
I really like the concept of this book. Your choice of topics is interesting, because it's so ecletic.

This... this is just my life right now.

I am from Nepal. Our sherpas are making good money from it, no need to feel sorry for them. And it is better to keep Everest as a wasp trap. There are plenty of other mountains which are empty in the Himalayas to climb. If people want to pay to die on Everest, I do not care. It is just one mountain. I am happy to let them have bragging rights in return for contribution in our economy.

Yeah all of that is conspiracy theories. The "lead investigator" you refer to had his allegations taken down by Fox News because they "didn't represent the high standards of news" and he was told to stand down because of the threat of legal action by Rich's family.

Sorry, just another clarification. I am not against pirated music. But I am just explaining a possible improvement over Spotify / Apple music. Also, this "improvement" may actually discribe a niche kind of "fandomify" that maybe will always be small. But if you implement the above it puts the onus on the customer to support their artists. It also disincentivises account sharing for hard core fans that want to give money to their favourite artists.

You can easily check that your money goes where you want it to from a statement at the end of the month... If you see that Justin Bieber's Baby got $0.99 then of course it's plausible because your "friend" logged in and listened to the song 99 times out of your 500 listens that month.
There should be a seperat "increase atmosphere drag foil sail" in every satellite so that with a sended code, it can deorbit itself faster.
Good advice. Also, if you have job offerers and you are not letting them know, but your colleagues are effectively communicating job offers they have, then they will be prioritised for a raise over you.

Judging from the comments, the article mostly resonates with people who already know how the codec works, but it doesn't seem to be very useful to engineers who, like me, want to understand it in a bit more technical detail. The author could have removed the casual conversation noise in the text (very annoying in technical articles!) and filled it with some more useful bits instead.
This first batch of satellites doesn't have the planned laser links for communication between satellites, so service in China will only be possible with a ground station in or near China. (The satellites just launched also only operate on two out of the three planned radio bands for connections with the ground.)

I visited Spain last year after studying the language seriously for several years; overtourism spoiled many of my experiences. I literally fled a cathedral in Granada because the crush of bodies was giving me a claustrophobic panic attack. From my perspective as an independent traveler, the guided busloads are the most obnoxious because they do everything in unison. If you also want to do the thing the 250 bus-people are all doing right now, forget about it.

Sad to see the same thing happening on Everest. If I saw that line, I would immediately turn around.

When I was younger I thought travel was important to me. But after doing it a bit, I've realized travel isn't what I thought it was. It isn't that exciting and it's not some kind of achievement, other than the achievement of having enough disposable income to make it happen. The people who create things worth visiting--whether that's art or food or buildings or whatever--are people staying where they are and investing in their communities. I want to be one of those people, not the rich jerks taking up space and contributing nothing to the scene.
I think the main problem with the Crossfit-kipping-approach you often see on YouTube is that it doesn't look like the person being filmed is at all interested in ever transitioning to a proper muscle up, but rather to kip as much as possible to get as many reps as possible in 60 second or w/e.

You're absolutely right in that you need to start somewhere, and a properly instructed kip can definitely help there. But you could also start by doing negatives of the partial exercises (start pulled/pushed up and lower yourself down in a controlled manner), which can be at the same time used to teach proper form and naturally transition into a full muscle up.

Once again, it's the classic Crossfit problem: if you do it properly and controlled, it is a nice exercise regimen. According to most anecdotal evidence, a lot of people don't, though.

Edit:
retiredcoder also replied with bands etc. to support in the beginning, which is obviously also a good method and, now that I think of it, one I've often seen in my gym. In the same vein, there's usually a pull up machine somewhere in the back that will support you by using a counterweight on the way up, though here you'll have the usual discussion regarding machine/no machine.
the alternative is allowing any software that isn't a virus or illegal to be installed... just like pc's have done for decades
Yeah same here, what’s strange is you have to explain that to clients too. They don’t get you’re contracting because you like to actually do things and helping them is part of the reward. Otherwise you’d just be an employee.
I understand that AOSP and open source is cool and stuff, but still the alternative is Apple's OS. I'm not even mad
const by default: I think I explained badly or you read too much into it or both.
This is pure syntactic sugar I'm talking about.
Instead of marking const member functions const, you mark functions which aren't const "mutable." Literally no change to the semantics of the language, just which one is assumed if you leave it blank. Right now it's mutable by default if you do nothing, it could just as easily have been const, you need to be able to tell the compiler which one you mean with a keyword whichever one is chosen to be represented by no token.

If "everything should be const unless it has to be mutable" is a reasonable position to take - which many seem to, then it should be the default, right? Too late for that now.

(<star>a) + (<star>b) yeah it's reasonable use. I can't say I care much. Obviously need references for the return value of an operator overload too if you're having operator overloading. It's reasonable. Doesn't thrill me, people have different taste on it which is reasonable too..

IMHO if the answer is "IDE" that's a workaround to a language issue and it may not be a big language issue either but it exists. C++ and Java both have some of that. Is the function taking the arg by mutable reference because Dave forgot? Or was did he have constication hell and a deadline so applied prune juice liberally? Or is it an output? Documentation in the header, popped up by your ide/text editor? sure, but that's also a workaround for something that would be nice if it were clear just by looking.
> the satellites de-orbit. Maybe they will be recovered and recycled, too?

They definitely de-orbit. Half of the reason their orbit is so low is to ensure that they de-orbit quickly once they are out of fuel (the other half is latency).
there has been mention that it could be lower latency for crossing the world, because of the speed of light in space is faster than through fibre

the further your communication has to travel, the better starlink will be for latency
Cars are able to drive outside of populated areas, so the satellites might be useful for that purpose
Such iron, much grip. You can trivially install Google play store and services on 98% of the non-licensed phones in China.

The fact that a $50B Chinese domestic Android market is thriving with zero control by Google proves the thesis to be untrue.

Then there's Amazon's fire product line. The only reason it lags Google's play store is quality. If Amazon's hardware and software/store selection were 80% as good, they'd be a serious contender - again one needs to look at China for evidence of this, where Tencent, Baidu etc. run their own successful app stores agnostic to hardware

Not sure your definition of "original" here. Analog synths were experimented with since the 1920's and 1930's[1] with digital synthesis arriving around the early 1970's[2].

The Electronium was late enough not to qualify as an "original" synthesizer, unless you mean it was "all original" work by Scott, which I'm not sure is completely true either. With the first working unit developed only by 1969[3] and used at Motown throughout the 70's, I thought that it was worth differentiating from the digital synthesizers which really arrived not that much later.

Yes. But for one of these to really take off, I think what's needed is for one of the giants to throw their weights behind it. Basically "We're betting x billions on it, so you can be sure that lots of companies will be using this tech in the decade to come".
I'm having a hard time parsing your question.

Our goal in this paper was to better understand the resources required to factor with a quantum computer. These estimates can then be fed into decisions about the rate post-quantum cryptosystems need to be deployed. We don't make predictions about the expected capabilities of hardware over time.

We do frame our results in terms of specific hardware assumptions (e.g. particular gate speeds and errors rates), but most of the improvements we make are about how to do arithmetic and so they generalize beyond these assumptions.
I guess this makes me fortunate. I did the EBC trek in late 2015 and it was such a wonderful experience. Hardly anyone doing at the time because of the Earthquake that happened earlier in the year. Can't imagine doing it when there are thousands of people in the area leading up to the slopes.
Your generalisation doesn't make sense. There are a lot of college students and a few high schoolers browsing HN who have no significant income. Also you're forgetting that HN users come from pretty much all around the world. 8've seen a lot of indians posting here and they definitively aren't producing an excessive amount of CO2 per capita.
Wasn't the domain operated by the FBI at some point (or some other law enforcement agency, I forgot)? No mention in the article? Perhaps it keeps operating as a honeypot?
Yeah, and it also reveals what the world would look like if Windows phone won instead of android. Atleast for Android you have AOSP, which is atleast somewhat open source. If Windows phone and iOS were the only two alternatives, a ban on a phone company like huwaei would be a death sentence. Can't do much with windows or iOS.

The rights to the Eiffel Tower have never been sold to a private entity, but the private entity that designed the night lighting kept their rights on it (which is the default, if the city didn't specifically ask for the rights to be transferred in the contract).

I don't think that's a good situation, but it has nothing to do with selling rights to a private entity.

I haven’t ever heard of someone getting sick from a canvas tote bag. Do you have any evidence this happens?
From what I've researched it's minimum 2-4 weeks between doses (I go for 4 to be on the safe side). Vitamin C or fruits rich with it should be taken before and during consumption for protection from oxidative stress. And of course moderation, mdma has a sweet spot in dosage so taking more won't really increase the positive effects.
For the "hangover" in the day/s after 5-htp does wonders. That's my anecdotal safe mdma recipe.

These are all metrics that also need to be considered to have any meaningful discussion about the state of society, and I wouldn’t say they’re rosy for many in the US.

I'm saying there is no general 2D capability either, so the existence of a general 3D capability (which I doubt it exists) is irrelevant to the question.

And that is also separate from whether VR is useful for a general audience. VR becomes useful for a general audience the same way a smartphone or a computer does: by covering enough usages that the vast majority of users will find useful applications. That's regardless of whether those applications use a 2D UI projected into the virtual environment or a skeuomorphic 3D UI.

x264 supports encoding 4:4:4 (i.e. no chroma subsampling) video. There's some very obvious cases where it produces better results, but it's typically just slower with no upside.
It seems that it is up to Europe to give its people the choice in hardware and software by making appropriate regulations.
Google sheets is one simple example of a data source by which videos can be produced en mass using the Moovly API. Via the API videos can be produced in volume (e.g. personalisation) or on demand when data changes (e.g. ECommerce product review score or price changes). Try it, I’d be interested to hear of other applications or uses.

The app ecosystem is a mess on AOSP. It feels like google just uses it to show a faux openness but there is no way that a non-enthusiast will get the experience they have in one of the 2 (formerly 3) major brand app stores. And that's really what this is about: app ecosystems. Making a good OS is easy, but getting mindshare/appshare is difficult (as microsoft learned the hard way).

AOSP makes no difference I think. If you are locked out of the official store, you are locked out of "Android" as people recognize it.
> You should just assign a different compression factor to the chroma channels instead [of subsampling chroma].

The good news is that we don't need to change the H.264 standard for this.

Supposing that:

- most of the already deployed embedded H.264 decoders support 4:4:4 profiles

- non-chroma-downsampled input content is available

Then, it's only a matter of changing encoder implementations to do exactly as you say.
