So if you can rewrite it without a garbage collector, you can save money.

Save money over what? It's usually a lot easier to optimize memory use than to rewrite code. Going by the 80/20 rule, 80% of the memory pressure on the GC will be created by 20% of the code. So amortize the price of the rewrite over the expected lifespan of the app. Then compare this to, let's say, the cost of optimizing 10% of the app to eliminate 40% of the memory pressure. Then, also factor in the likely rate of bugs introduced in a rewrite compared to the optimizing GC and the cost of incurring, finding, and fixing those bugs.

Going by this analysis, I would suspect that in some environments where rapid iteration is key, progress is fast, and apps have short lifespans, it might be better to optimize GC instead of rewrite to eliminate it. I'd also expect that in other cases, it is better to rewrite to eliminate GC.
Download options _might_ work, but depends on what formats are available:

--prefer-free-formats
Prefer free video formats unless a
specific one is requested

If opus is provided, you could probably download it this way, but I think your best bet is the post-processing method (which of course isn't perfect):

-x, --extract-audio
Convert video files to audio-only files
(requires ffmpeg or avconv and ffprobe or avprobe)

--audio-format FORMAT
Specify audio format:
"best", "aac", "flac", "mp3", "m4a",
"opus", "vorbis", or "wav";
"best" by default; No effect without -x
Note: It's entirely possible to build a site that scores a 100 on Lighthouse, but be an abject failure in Accessibility compliance. We've done it ourselves on my team inadvertently (combo-box failure), so never forget that actual, manual testing with screen readers is 100% necessary. Automation often works against you when it comes to achieving compliance.

To wit, you can create a really, really inaccessible site that scores 100 on Lighthouse: https://www.matuzo.at/blog/building-the-most-inaccessible-si...

The "Why use Conference Badge" section on conferencebadge.com is fantastic.
For the former, I would imagine `rsync -Pav $whatever_old_ff_profile/ $HOME/snap/firefox/whatever/` would do that, since AFAIK snaps store user-specific persistent state outside of privileged directories

The alternative, and likely why no one has applied a great deal of pressure to that workflow, is to use the Firefox Sync account they've been pushing so hard

An Introduction to Reinforcement Learning
Sort of an aside but it’s really impressive to see the level of care the YC team puts into the feedback provided in the email. It would be easy to just have a generic rejection. Considering the number of teams they are interviewing, it’s even more impressive. Kudos.
Yeah well those people who don't want governments to have control benefit and make use of everything tax has built.

We used to use those AlphaSmarts to learn how to type in elementary school in the early 2000's, before our school got a laptop cart that could be wheeled between classrooms.

Historically, unions are a tried and true way for improving working conditions and average compensation. Of course, that's also the reason why they are so vehemently opposed...
I think this depends on one-off vs long term. If this group is going to be doing 2~3 conferences a year, learning how to print labels yourself or is valuable skill. You might even have a designer on your team that could work with a local print shop (allowing a personal relationship and even last minute badges so you're not handwriting last minute speakers).

There's a one time cost of learning all that stuff, and then each year you just reuse those same templates and skills with a new logo/graphics from your design guy.

If this is something your team/volunteer group/etc. rarely does, then it's probably worth just paying conference badges. It's a trade-off.

If it's a non-profit thing, consider open souring the process and CC licensing the designs to help others doing the same thing.

You would then have to teach every developer who you onboard this novel way of doing things.

I feel idiomatic code is really the best code, even if it's not always the most elegant way to achieve something it excels in practical ways. This is definitely one of the benefits of using a framework. Not every language has strong idioms for all uses, but you can often find them in a framework.

Thanks for sharing your YC story!

Some personal experience: I applied to YC for 8 times over the past few years. Got one onsite interview (late 2017). Got rejected. I documented that onsite interview experience here: https://broadcast.listennotes.com/my-y-combinator-interview-...

Probably YC is not a good fit for everyone. I stopped applying to YC since then. My small startup is doing well now, so I'm happy :)

Luxury housing, too, does create supply. Prohibiting the construction of luxury apartments will just end with rich people paying luxury money for standard apartments thus raising prices and people with less financial means will be priced out.
The easiest and most obvious way is to travel in groups and be noisy. Bears are opportunistic more than they're predatory, meaning they're risk averse and avoid confrontation. Next is to avoid their feeding areas - so don't stick around next to carrion, pass through their favourite meadows carefully but quickly, and don't hang around their berry bushes or obvious dens. Obviously stay away from cubs.

If you do encounter them, back away slowly (don't turn your back), they'll pretty much always also go the other way. I've encountered plenty in the backcountry, usually at fairly long distances and they always move on.

Also note that this applies mainly to BC, Alberta, and south of US. They do get slightly more aggressive up north due to having less easy food sources. Also, black bears are a different story, as are polar bears.
This is terrible legal advice. Criminal penalties for copyright infringement offenses have existed since at least 1897 in the United States, and at least 1921 in Canada.

Numerous times in my career things have come to a boil because management refused to let me and my team spend any time on accessibility. Trying to convince middle/upper management to have compassion for the visually disabled is like pulling teeth. Which I think is particularly nuts since advances in TTS have made it generally useful to the visually capable as well (acclimatizing to the TTS voice has become easier, and so casual usage of TTS has become more feasible.)

> The state of developing and maintaining accessible web applications feels like a sad joke given the industry's mantra to make the world a better, more connected place.

this also feels true of most of the industry's business models.

but yeah, the mantra's just a mantra. i think lots of people repeat that and think it sounds like a good goal, but they never really examine whether they're contributing to it. people can bullshit themselves pretty easily. and a lot of other folks just pay lip service to that mantra so they can make money.
Hmm. Some rapid development. I wonder if they wrote test cases for the subscription functionality. When they had that test-payment gateway go to production, did they add safeguards to prevent that from happening again?

I mean, it seems like an impressive story, but when I read it, all I see is potential technical debt.

I don't think I'd like to be back in startup culture. I really like solid testing, and I hate moving so fast that we don't create that safety net.
Unfortunate but at least it's in the minuscule "anti-spoofing" text. Might not even be visible to the naked eye

Post Startup Failure Depression
Hi, my startup of 2,5 years seems to be not taking off and was a miss. I will probably continue doing it as a side project for a while to see if there is any pivot I can make, but will have to get a job now.
I feel pretty much like a I wasted nearly 3 years of my most productive years (I am 33 now) and also derailed my career. I was in IT/Mgm Consulting before. I applied to about 25 jobs and got rejected on all of them. In Germany having a failed startup is not really a thing of beauty on your resume. I feel like I f'd up my whole life with this and am sad and frankly a little desperate since a couple of month. Surely there are many of you who have gone similar paths. Any advice on how to overcome this psychologically, is highly appreciated?

I have a little Automator workflow/Quick Action on my Mac that gets the current webpage from Safari, then runs a

youtube-dl -f 140 "${@%%&*}"

on it, so save the music to my home dir as an .m4a that I can then add to iTunes (obviously, that step could be automated as well). So, I don't have to visit YouTube more than necessary. It's conveniently triggered from the Safari->Services menu.

I've checked one of the remastered videos, and not seen any better audio option.
It's worth noting that a professional security and pentest company I know of had a Python-based exploit authoring DSL that automatically generated exploit code across a very wide range of processor architectures and OSes.

Makes sense. If entire OSes can be written in an intermediate representation, then exploits can be as well.

Day of Reckoning for KPMG-Failures in Ethics
You apparently didn’t know about this thing before now, but you’re sure it helped with all this stuff? Why, because Comcast said so?

It warrants sarcasm because it was transparently obvious bullshit when it was announced, Comcast did some PR to spin it, and you’re falling for their PR hook, line, and sinker.

If this really was such a great thing for users then it would be commonplace, instead of being used by a single company that also happens to be one of the most hated companies in the country (and justifiably so).

You can’t just turn a dial and give everyone a pony, yet somehow non-Comcast providers manage to give better service. My FiOS connection is rock solid and delivers what it says with no speed testing games. Do you think I should ask Verizon to implement PowerBoost?

You're very polite. I'm going to be more frank.

Monads like this are very problematic in the JavaScript world. I say this as an F# programmer, and our community is not unfamiliar with Railway Oriented Programming (https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/rop/)

Unlike F# or any other decent functional language, JavaScript doesn't have very good constructs to guide and ensure the programmer is using these constructs properly, let alone using alongside with existing error propagating constructs.

What happens when you mix these with promises, or RxJs, or something else?

My advice would to be avoid using constructs like this for general purpose error handling and use tried and true constructs for Exceptions, which should be exceptional.

Something like this isn't entirely useless, sometimes its useful to encode errors in an abstract type when the errors become an integral part of the problem domain. Sometimes errors aren't exceptional and you need a way to deal with them that's somewhat performant. Even if that's the case, you need to be careful with constructs like this because it's easy to use them wrong, which might lead to scenarios where errors aren't properly thrown and propagated.

I'm not saying to never use them. I'm just heeding you should tread carefully.
I may actually use that. That's a great metaphor.
It's not magic security dust. I don't claim all you have to do is use it to have a secure website, but to address a few prominent classes of attacks you can use it.

And security is hard, so defense in depth makes sense.
Re 1: Who said? Those who wrote the stuff being read, of course. (You're muttering "self referential" like that's some kind of a problem... /s)

Re 2 and 3: I think this is the big one. Functional language are great in some situations. Non-functional languages are great in some other situations. The problem is, someone who doesn't know functional languages gets into a situation where they're good, finds out about functional languages, starts using them, and a large number of their problems go away. They experience functional languages being wonderful. But they conclude "functional languages are wonderful" rather than "functional languages are wonderful in that situation", and they proceed to try to sell the world on how wonderful functional languages are. (Not just functional - ditto for other language styles and development techniques.)

The trick is, given the problem, to pick the right languages, tools, and techniques, rather than to have One Right Answer.

Re 9: I'd say, given Pike's background, that he almost certainly knew at least the older PL research. Ditto Kernighan (who didn't design the language, but did write the book).

As others said, if you can post a link that would be really great. When I've taught probability in years past, I always showed students Galton boards on YouTube, but a real one that doesn't break and doesn't break the budget would be much better.
It would be funny if note forgers would use the same software for improved authenticity, re-type the text, and do it correctly - the forged notes could be easily spotted since they use the correct text.
People in this discussion are misunderstanding one another because no-one's making a clear distinction between "Engineers/managers responsible for content moderation and with the power to improve the tools should have to do some content moderation themselves" and "All engineers/managers should do content moderation"

Andy the content moderation tools developer could certainly benefit from experience using the tools he's working on.

On the other hand Bob the Unix admin who keeps the CI cluster online can't iron out bugs in another team's product no matter how hard you motivate him.

Needless to say, if someone writes about Andy but a reader thinks about Bob, the gap in whether the explanation makes sense might leave the reader sceptical about the writer's claims, or even their true motivation.
I often have the opposite experience these days. A very (very) long time ago I knew almost everything about my computer system. I knew the physics of the transistor, the power systems, the schematic of the boards, I had practically all the source code that the machine ran and understood most of it. These days the machines are so complex that I have a very good understanding of my little corner of the machine but the rest might as well be magic for all I know about it. In a way it’s a huge victory for the engineers in our field that these things can be considered mundane.

You can't assume they didn't. More importantly, I work very closely with subscription providers can tell you that many of them fail to create these basic safety nets with large teams, slow release schedules, and lots of funding.

But yes, startups may not be for you.
"But Jonathan," I hear you say, "by providing a gateway aren't you just making Cloudflare a centralizing institution?"

The problem is the market share of these institutions. Google could argue that they aren't the sole gatekeeper to search since services like DuckDuckGo exist. This isn't really valid when you control a huge amount of the market share. I'm worried about how the internet is becoming super homogeneous, it really hurts startups. I'm not saying what Cloudflare is doing is bad, but the amount of control Cloudflare has is increasingly worrying based of all the services they are launching. Look at what it did to The Daily Stormer (I think they are disgusting and have zero support for them), it's clear that they aren't unbiased. If Cloudflare blocks your service on their VPN, DNS, DDoS protection, IPFS site, Ethereum, etc you are majorly screwed. Most people aren't willing to change their setup just to visit your one service. I still think what Cloudflare does is awesome, not trying to be too negative, just a little worried.

A source, but nowhere near the "ultimate" source of random data. For that, you have to think on different scales.

"The researchers believe quasars could make an ideal cryptographic tool because the strength and frequency of the radio pulses they emit is impossible to predict. “Quasar-based cryptography is based on a physical fact that such a space signal is random and has a very broad frequency spectrum,” Umeno told New Scientist."
