You're right. I've fixed my comment.
That is true. Although the H2+/3 have a much better line output than the Raspberries and stereo line in plus differential mic in, on most boards the only input available is a mono mic one which is better than nothing, but a real stereo line in could turn out to be really useful.
Actually, the mic input shouldn't pose any problems in some aplications, save for possibly higher noise than what could be obtained by pairing a quiet single stage preamp to a line input, however I wish board makers paid more attention to the audio world; with todays faster cores and cheap memory there are some killer apps waiting to happen.
As an example, guitarix (http://guitarix.org) has been already ported to ARM, so a small board with decent audio i/o would make an ideal candidate for building a very compact guitar fx processor.
It's immediately usable as a cooling device and consumable as portable water.

If you assume (sadly true) that most families probably use bottled water (we do for short trips where it's easier than filling up the reusable ones), this simply defers new purchases of bottled water.

Granted, it's promoting bottled water usage, but from a consumer point of view, I'd rather the frozen bottle of water than one MORE of those stay-kool packs.

I completely disagree. If you're running a meeting, you're accountable for keeping that meeting on the rails. If that means cutting off someone senior and getting the meeting back on track, or asking them to stay focused, or redirecting the conversation to let others speak, then that's what you need to do.

Seniority is a matter of job description. My job as a senior engineer involves driving alignment on the design and implementation of features. When I run meetings, they have an agenda and concrete outputs. If someone derails the meeting, I will politely but forcefully run them over. When that bubbles up into an interpersonal conflict, as it sometimes does, I'm again, polite but forceful.

I know what my job is, and I hold myself accountable for getting it done.

The only time I've been openly rude to someone was a Senior Principal at AWS who thought derailing 12+ engineer meetings to rant about unrelated topics was an acceptable use of time. The rudeness was probably uncalled for, but it got the job done and was (surprisingly) well received.
It sounds stupid, but talking sticks work wonders.

There's an interesting distinction to be made between Guess, Ask, and Tell cultures.

– Guess culture: Doesn't name needs. There's an expectation that people guess each other's needs from clues/context/intuition.

– Ask culture: Names needs as an ask.

– Tell culture: Names needs. No specific kind of response is required or expected.

These aren't normative categories, but I think in any workplace, being collectively aware that these different styles exist and that communication will be improved by each person knowing their own styles and the styles of others can improve things.

– Guessers can work to name their needs.

– Askers can learn to interpret Guessers and gently help them articulate their needs, and likewise can gently ask questions of Tellers to determine their asks.

– Tellers can likewise learn to interpret Guessers and gently help them articulate their needs, and for Tellers, invite questions about their asks.

What if I used this program for work? What if I had some super important business meeting worth a million bucks, and I opened my computer to discover Zoom et al was suddenly missing?

If I'd decided to run an update right before my super important meeting, that would have been my own fault. But if Apple did it silently...
Yeah, working at Google is not a great plan for "coasting" now or later.
You're right, Sublime does offer this option. I was probably checking on an unsaved buffer.
That's the "monitor from the customer's point of view" approach the OP alludes to. If you use tools like Honeycomb [1] that can easily and routinely answer questions like "show me the 95th percentile latencies for each of the 10 customers experiencing the worst latencies", then situations like you're describing are a lot easier to discover.

I'm not sure I fully understand the issue. Don't police body cameras serve most of their purpose if they are available as evidence in legal cases? As far as I know, the evidence in evidence rooms is not by default available to the public, though it may end up being disclosed as part of a legal case.

If the problem is that prosecutors are protecting police unfairly, then publishing body camera footage isn't really going to help unless it's enough to cause significant public outcry. After all, there are plenty of instances of publicly available videos of police doing things where the public doesn't believe the legal repercussions are sufficient, and there is public outrage, and it doesn't matter.
Sia has come a long way in the past two years. Uploads, downloads, and repairs are both much more stable and also a lot faster. Sia can effortlessly sustain 100mbps upload and download if your connection is that fast.

Sia is happy with files that are hundreds of GBs in size today, and with a filesystem that that gets up to about 20 TB. Beyond that it starts to struggle, but we're continuously working to expand its capabilities.

Data has always been encrypted client-side, even in very early releases. Data today is sharded between hosts in a 10-of-30 Reed-Solomon scheme.

I think you will find that the experience is much smoother and more complete compared to the experience from 2 years ago. And, a critical feature is now available as of the latest release: seed based file recovery. After you upload your files, it's possible to create a snapshot of your data that you can recover later on a different machine using nothing more than your wallet seed. This makes Sia a practical and cost effective solution for secondary or tertiary backup.
I've used Podcast Addict for years, I don't use playlists or change the playback speed but after just checking it looks like you can do both.
I know for certain they're working on this, and pushing this boxing up the stack to suppliers.

As of August 1st, Amazon started charging/fining their suppliers $2/unit if large items are not able to ship in their own packaging.

Meaning anything that is A) large, and B) unable to ship with UPS adding a label will cost suppliers an extra $2.

They call this program SIOC (ships in own container)

The fun part is that amazon does not accept price increases very easily. Especially not in this scenario... so suppliers either have to A) repackage their shit, B) eat the cost, C) find a partner to help distribute.

Ask HN: Integrating with Other Tools
I'm working on a platform that allows users to view events in relation to their assets.

One common request is automation with other tools. e.g. when an event is created, raise an issue in the customer's JIRA. If the event is resolved, close the JIRA ticket.

We don't want to build custom integrations for each tools if we can avoid but we also don't think it's as simple as building a zapier integration since customers do want to do some configuration within our platform.

Ideally, customers would be able to setup the integration from our platform (with the only step being to potentially connect to their zapier / iftt account).

Was wondering if there is any tool that is suitable for such a workflow and if you'd recommend zapier, iftt or something else entirely?
They're 911 calls. Show me one example of a 911 call and its misrepresentation being used to really harm somebody. Control only means those in power will abuse that control and prohibit its use as a method of ensuring accountability and transparency in how 911 hotlines are run.

Further, I think privacy is worth preserving for privacy's sake. We all have a right to it. But there are times where we have to give up rights in order to serve the interests of the community. I know it's not a popular way of thinking in the US, but it's just a fact of living in a society with other people. We don't have the complete freedom to do anything and everything we want. Giving up the privacy of 911 calls has clear benefits, and I haven't yet seen sufficient evidence that enough harm is caused by them being public to consider otherwise.

Even further, these states aren't making these records private for privacy reasons. You're just playing into their narrative and defending them on morality when they're doing it to cover their asses.

For people interested in this part of Computer history I highly recommend the book "The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution" https://www.amazon.com/Innovators-Hackers-Geniuses-Created-R...

Audio is so trivially pirated (and in fact was pretty much the first resource to be pirated in the 90s) that I don't know how many seconds they really expect this content to remain exclusive. All they will achieve is to limit the audience of these podcasts, but if users are keen to listen to them...
Exactly. As soon as these streaming services become ubiquitous and irreplaceable, they will go the route of cable and start trying to milk the cow for all it's worth.

Yes and no. You still need to ETL the data from one db to the other and (quite probably) the SQL dialects will be different so doing a dump'n'load isn't going to work.
Yeah, I'd really like something that can solve for "I want to drive to a train station, take a train, and then whatever form of transit can take me the last mile". It's a not-uncommon case for me and it seems both Apple and Google could both basically solve it if only the UI had a way to ask.

What is so hard about self control?
Quoting the article,

“competition from AWS is simply the price to pay for developing OSS. Restrictive licensing including AGPL can slow down AWS but cannot stop it so the real impact of such licensing is lower user adoption. (...) this means that a commercial OSS company now has to compete with AWS on the merits of an exceptional DBaaS experience and not on the merits of the core OSS DB.”
Great summary. "700 old white men, and roughly three women, gathered in Congress to ask David Marcus, the man behind Facebook’s Libra Project, why we should trust the company and how we can be sure its incipient digital currency/alternative financial system/systemic risk won’t, say, lead to the downfall of Western civilization."

>> Watching some of those Senate hearings is like a trial organized by superstitious villagers

Once you accept that senate hearings are more political posturing than an actual trial, they make more sense.

The output of a senate hearing is not a guilty/not-guilty verdict or a vote or a decision, but soundbites and video clips that a politician can use for their next re-election campaign to demonstrate that they care about their constituents and are tough on the boogeyman of the year.

Just do a search for "Senator X destroys Y for Z" - e.g. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10156919959142908 or https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/1085637715998195717 (not to pick on a single politician or company - these were just the first few I found)
To go further, automated ban systems often result in a ton of customer support, and depending on the game's monetization model they can heavily affect the bottom line if too many of a certain type of player are removed from the game.

Creating JSPen: A codepen-like editor that stores pages in URLs
I think the idea behind SGX based cloud computing would be that you send encrypted data and code to the enclave, which then decrypts the data, does the computation, encrypts the result, and then returns the encrypted result.

The enclave gets to see everything that's going on, but in theory nothing can view or corrupt what's going on inside of the enclave.

I'm personally pretty skeptical that SGX is a secure platform, however if you do decide that SGX works and is trustworthy, it would be possible to outsource your computation in a mostly cost effective way to anyone who has an SGX enclave.

The same goes for any collectibles that you might order. I do collect things like Funko Pops and it's a coin toss whether it will show up in a plastic bag with the Funko box all smash or a cardboard box. Looks like Amazon will have to be taken off the list of places to buy.
Relying on a U2F key alone is single factor authentication. If a user is going through the very real/significant effort of using a U2F key, they presumably want/need real two factor authentication. That requires two forms of authentication, generally something you know (a password) and something you have (a key).
That would be really interesting! Although it'd be like offering a gym for cheaters, heh. A place for them to hone cheating tools and techniques that would end up back in the regular game.

But could avoid that if a game embraced it holistically, where the default is tool-assisted and anything goes.

Intel’s new AI chips can crunch data 1k times faster than normal ones
On my last cross-country road trip (~1 month ago) Google maps would regularly suggest "faster routes" that were just "turn left off the state highway onto a gravel road, after 1 mile turn right onto a different gravel road, drive 3 miles parallel to the state highway and then turn right again to rejoin the highway". I was seeing these suggestions every ~20-30 miles. It was annoying enough to finally prompt me to fully adopt OSM.

Is anyone aware of a setting/workaround to use OSM in DDG instead of apple maps? I would rather provide my free labor to an open project, and I'm most likely to submit corrections when I notice them from a search.
I think the true hero of the story is whoever made dark mode for maps a thing.

Students at good programs will check all the technical boxes just by attending required classes. Those schools tend to also have enough project based courses and career prep coaching that the portfolio box is also checked.

The intersection of that and communication skills is rarer, but it happens often enough, especially for people who pick up a second major in the humanities or did a lot of public speaking prior to/during college. Again, not the average case, but not terribly uncommon.

Eh, skimming through this list, I see what's essentially a bunch of courses. While all of the listed topics are fairly important, it's highly unlikely there exists a curriculum that covers all of them. I'd even venture that no matter which school, which curriculum, which professors, there will be something absolutely and obviously essential omitted from one's education. There's certainly topics left out from this list that are undeniably crucial. In some schools there will be far more than one thing omitted (reading the list, I'd say my school teaches maybe half of this to the good students, and less than a quarter to the mediocre students). in others, it'll be one or two topics. Regardless, the answer is not to cram more into the curriculum.

The answer, as trite as it is, is to teach a man to fish. If you want people to learn a wide breadth of topics, provide them with a set of qualities like curiosity, determination, problem solving skills, etc. Don't just give them what you deem to be a wide breadth of topics. I see far too many fellow students who just want a list, a guide such as this to follow so that they can be the best student and get the best job and live the best life (not that that's a bad goal). But in their attempt to live by a list, they ignore anything and everything else. I find it really sad when I talk about using OCaml or the fun of playing with Emacs, they shrug and insist that it's not "useful", that it's not on the list.
Dropping iOS work was what freed me to replace my last MB pro with a non-Apple machine (a necessity for me the moment they introduced the fake keyboard).
Those aren’t mutually exclusive states. They may be trying to solve the very problem they’ve exacerbated.
I'm not really a huge fan of that channel in terms of the political content and overall presentation of each topic. But more to the point, this advice can really backfire -- maybe it will become a contest of who can speak the loudest, and you'll wind up confusing and pissing everyone off.

I think I still lean towards talking to a manager as a more effective strategy, and a culture where management lets this kind of thing happen isn't really one I want to be a part of anyway.
Can someone explain the difference between Sia vs Filecoin/IPFS. The latter seems to be still working on solving some fundamental crypto primitives before they can offer what seems like what Sia already claims to have solved?
One way for YB to fight off the competition from AWS would be to include a clause that any forks of the DB should always be in sync with the upstream(master developed by YB), so hypothetically speaking this would mean companies that are using the AWS YB could always have the freedom to switch to using the OSS YB and only risk loosing the features that AWS has contributed to its fork and might actually force the OSS to keep up.

So goodluck YB.
I should probably just use Overcast, too. It's insane to me how awful the Podcasts app is.

Satellite links are actually used rather sparingly, precisely due to the high latency they introduce. None of the planes, helicopters and motorcycles are equipped with satellite uplinks; they are all using RF links in the HF band.

While there are multiple HF relays, there is only one satellite relay truck per stage, located at a geographically convenient location at roughly mid-point through the route. Its role is to pick up all the HF signals, multiplex them, and uplink them to a satellite for downlink by the Euro Media¹ HF trucks back at the finish line. It also works the other way round, in order to relay signals originating at the finish line, such as the director’s orders, back to the crews covering the race.

This satellite relay stops being used as soon as the riders have passed the midway point; from that point on, the two planes and relay helicopters are linked to the finish line solely via HF and microwave. Shorter routes like the time-trial stages don’t require a satellite relay at all.

Another use of satellite uplinks is the midway sprint location, which is covered by a fixed camera on a crane. It is relayed back to the finish line independently of the HF relays, by a regular SNG truck.

¹ Euro Media is the outfit tasked with coordinating all the HF feeds, for delivery to the (adjacent) France Télévisions production trucks which are, in turn, responsible for producing the international and domestic TV broadcasts.
Yes, I thought I saw this too many years ago when I was making youtube videos, and uploading would be slow or broken. Although I never tried changing the video after getting the URL.
In a professional setting, nothing works better than setting expectations upfront.

For instance, over a meeting invite, letting everyone know the agenda and the rules of engagement would go a long way in setting the expectations beforehand. You might even set rules of engagement generally enough for all meetings instead of just yours... of course, then, expect to work on the feedback from all quarters, but that's manageable. It might also stand to surprise you the number of people that might be supportive of such a thing because it makes future meetings productive and approachable for them.

That said, some teams do have dynamics where a few powerful personalities by the virtue of their position in the team or their closeness to the management drain out all other voices in the room, as it were. This is a different ball-game since it involves power struggle which you'd eventually lose. A couple of ways I know to out manuver is to:

1. Show up in the meeting prepared with facts beforehand.

2. Do a post-meeting commentary on the meeting notes or talking points with a view to encourage further discussion, over email or wikis or docs.

Regardless, your comments may be ignored. Don't take it too hard, but know that you were heard loud and clear, fwiw. Rest of your team most certainly isn't turning a blind-eye.
