This is very difficult at present. Most methods of doing something like this rely upon spectral analysis of the target you wish to remove, and then use FFT decomp/recomp to subtract the result. The results are poor.

Someone mentioned the software that can isolate instruments from one another. But the problem is this usually relies upon the instruments or vocals having a different position in a stereo signal, and different frequency ranges, to perform that extraction. This is much easer to do in such cases, especially since the material you are working with is generally clean source material. Here you have a mixed signal, that may or may not contain stereo data, but certainly contains a lot of background noise, as well as other game audio you wish to retain.

What is needed is a far more intelligent method of identifying the spectral signature of a known source by matching the target with the source in the time domain, and then using that identified signal in the target itself to cancel itself out.

In practice this would mean comparing the amplitude modulation of each spectral band in the source to the target to identify the spectral components that need to be removed, and then using the corresponding "matched" bands, generate a signal, using the source as a guide, from the target audio itself that represents only that portion of the spectral signature that is being matched to the source. This newly generated signal can then be used to remove that audio from the target with 180º phase cancellation.

Keep in mind that wherever the spectral bands overlap with other audio content you wish to retain, there will be a lot of artifacting and signal loss or phasing. A second pass would need to use the equivalent of inpainting to reconstruct those missing components.

Overall, it's a very hard problem.

I'd like to see a move toward mini-kits instead of frameworks. The problem with frameworks is you are dealing with a dark-grey box. If the components work, everything is great. If they don't, you have to either fiddle a lot to find a work-around, or read and debug thousands of lines of framework code.

For example, a "routing engine" to translate URL's into specific function/method calls doesn't have to be rocket science for smaller applications, yet they are rocket science (thousands of lines of code) in many frameworks. Come up with a standard interface for routing engines and let me choose which implementation best matches our org rather than have to use the thousand+ lines of code version.

You have a choice: bicycle science, car science, and rocket science versions. A large org or special domain may need the rocket science routing engine, that's fine, but don't force all framework users to use the rocket science one. If I use the bicycle-science router, I can read it and fix or customize it quickly.

ORM's, HTML templating engines, field managers (models), can all also be interface-itized this way, and ship with or offer 3 levels: bicycle, car, and rocket.

Frameworks should then only be interface managers, not implemented conglomerates of fat "helpers".

> And moreover, there are noise ordinances and related laws, and I do believe those should be enforced.

They generally are. But it's not practical to enforce them in a condition of a lot of short-term rentals, where people rotate on a weekly basis. Before AirBnB, that might not have been a problem, but now that's trivially easy to become a pirate hotel anywhere in the world, people are pushing to ban such rentals in residential areas, because it's the only way to make the problem go away.

That's another negative side effect right here. Occasional vacation sublet by a thoughtful homeowner doesn't hurt anybody. But those cases become collateral damage of the effort to fight off AirBnB's pirate hotels.
Java... Are you kidding. The UI stack and distribution model is horrible compared to WebAssembly.

The resources available for HTML/CSS cannot be compared with JavaFX, Swing or whatever the other original stack was. And the Applets sandboxing was obviously so horrible everyone killed it. WA is amazing here copying the existing and already hardened JavaScript model.
>Waymo’s CEO, John Krafcik, has admitted that a self-driving car that can drive in any condition, on any road, without ever needing a human to take control—usually called a “level five” autonomous vehicle—will basically never exist. At the Wall Street Journal’s D.Live conference, Krafcik said that “autonomy will always have constraints.” It will take decades for self-driving cars to become common on roads. Even then, they will not be able to drive at certain times of the year or in all weather conditions. In short, sensors on autonomous vehicles don’t work well in snow or rain—and that may never change.

This reminds me of the time Bill Gates allegedly said: "640K ought to be enough for anybody", taking about RAM memory.

Why would you say it will never happen? That is just silly. It may be decades out, today sensors may have a long way to go. But it's just silly to say it will NEVER happen.

Never say never!
Sounds like a rude person just excusing their rudeness.

As an overseas Chinese (born and grew up in Hong Kong but have relatives in China) I am sadden by this and HN comments. Any claim that Google would have helped China censor Chinese citizens ignores the fact that Chinese search engines are already censored. Because laws in this area are often vague, I can see that dragonfly would apply varying levels of censorships and as a side effect, allow people to access some information that they otherwise wouldn't be able to. And by surfacing better information for queries, it can also help people finding what they want for things that are not censored.

I know some people prefer to stick their noses up and hold what they perceive as the moral high ground, but do consider how lives of hundreds of millions of people will be affected by your actions/inactions.
I'm not sure antitrust is the correct rule to apply here, there are many retailers still in the market.

You no longer propagating the same error; if you were type-checking on network exceptions, for example, you would entirely miss it if it was wrapped in LibraryException instead.

Wrapping does have value if you are really adding useful information but the example here is just changing the type which really doesn't add anything useful.
I'll second this

Strong but brittle is how you could describe most automated systems. They are superhuman in the right context but fail comically if you alter the context just slightly out of what the system can handle. I think the best way forward is to set up infrastructure on roads to help the partially autonomous systems. Its important to not let great get in the way of good.

> SocialBlade estimates their earnings as being at a minimum $4k per month. But the range is up to $56k per month.

By comparison, a "software engineer that works for YouTube" might have total gross compensation of about $35K/month, and there are > 1000 of them. Both your off-ramps and your reach goals are better too: if you don't get to be a software engineer that works for YouTube, you could get roughly equivalent compensation at any FAANG, a little bit less (but still six figures) at another software company, or if you're lucky and brave, found the next Twitch and sell it for a billion dollars. Your earnings on YouTube fall off much more dramatically if you don't get to the 1M subscriber mark.

You're almost always better off going into the unglamorous profession that enables (and controls the purse strings to) the glamorous profession than going into the glamorous profession itself.
This is absolutely true. I thought I was crazy when I cancelled my TV license here in the UK a year ago. But after several months, I wasn't missing out on anything.

I never felt more productive in getting things done.
I hate fan noise too. Sometimes it's necessary, though. But yeah, noise is another trade-off to consider.

Regarding Raspberry Pi specifically, larger, slow-moving fans tend to be quieter than smaller, fast-moving fans. The Pi is compact, so a small fan would be the natural choice.
You are not arguing against the substance of anything I have said.
God, Javascript can be such a train-wreck though.

Frameworks break all the time when people want something updated. For example, updating a website from an old version of Middleman to the latest, while also using Webpack 3 (but can't use Webpack 4 because that further breaks things) and also use a theme that is difficult to work with both middleman and Webpack.

I spent more time debugging than actually building / updating the website. lol

In a state of even greater surprise, I accept that the word "hostel" may in general mean something else than what I came to expect from staying in places calling themselves "hostels".

(Curiously, the Talk page of that article suggests that Polish law doesn't even recognize the term "hostel", so all those places - both defined here and the kinds I stayed in - must really be something else.)
They always just seem meaningless, for example:

Law is a well known bimodal distribution. BigLaw pays $190k salary + bonus straight out of law school.

Where are bankers and consultants? Post-MBA comp is $150k - $165k salary + bonus.

Took me a while to figure it out, but Varier balans by Peter Opsvik is the best for me. It is a bit pricey, at $400 or so, but well worth it in my mind. Already I have purchased three, one for home, one for the office, and one for my father who enjoys it a lot. I am in a chair in front of the computer for most of the day, too. As a dancer, body positioning is important to me, and the varier balans forces me to use good form, one simply cannot slouch in it.
It really depends on how complex your code is and what you're targeting. For example, the V8 JavaScript engine has a ton of ifdefs depending on OS (Windows, Mac, Linux, Fushia), bitness (32 or 64), chipset (ARM, ARM64, PPC, x64, etc.) and combinations thereof. For example, see some of the defines in https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/master/src/common/globals.h#L1... and their uses throughout the codebase.

EDIT: I forgot Android, and all the compiler specific flags. (https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/master/include/v8config.h is probably a better reference).
I will just say this. Someone in the openloop / DIY pump community is eventually going to die or seriously injure themselves (or a family member) doing what they do. It's not an if , but a when.
The Pi4 does not need a fan. There is a grand total of 10 watts of heat to dissipate, 15 watts max supply but that includes power sent to peripherals and wifi. A matchbox sized heatspreader which just touches each of the warm components will work assuming a bit of ventilation is arranged to let 40-50C air float away. The heatspreader shouldn't even benefit significantly from being a top conductive alloy - a bit of tin lid will do the job.

Experiences with shifting 200 watts for cpu cooling has people thinking dedicated alloy sinks and fins and fans are appropriate, but this is just 10 watts - it's child's play ;/
I remember seeing a white paper (from some government agency or the RAND institute) back in the 90's (actually probably learned about in some NPR interview) that predicted wars over water starting around the point we are now (approaching 2020). I've seen some news reports that this is already happening. One example being tensions/conflict between Israel and Lebanon. News reports generally treat it as an ideological conflict but this argues looking at the material basis for the conflict.

Another lesser example being legal/political wrangling here in western US among states over Colorado River rights.

It'd be interesting to dig up some of those white papers / predictions and see how credible accurate their predictions like this were.

Not exactly the same thing as climate change but certainly connected.
I'd say these things are also 'way in the future'.
Except you can run wasm on an iPhone.

I like Java but it's not like they didn't try Java applets. They really screwed the security model. I guess in that sense what the parent is asking for is actually not nearly as feasible as using the current web security model.
Thank you for the clarification. Some questions related to V8 perf:

1. WASM <--> JS/Host calls seem to have a higher cost on chrome than FF [1][2]. Is that in your optimization roadmap?

2. Wasmer tracks V8 perf against other backbends, and the LLVM backend consistently outperforms V8 [3]. Can anything be done to address this, especially for node, where the compile time cost of a super optimizing compiler might be beneficial in certain applications?

On a related note, there's a pending raspberry pi 4 firmware update which apparently makes a _big_ difference to how much heat it's generating:

Last I saw, it's still causing some issues with performance of USB devices, which is why it's not in general release yet.
Hmm, good point.

An unanswered question is why are judges and juries swayed by testimony or opinion which goes contrary to the spirit of the law, unless the law is unjust. I mean in this case, it appears to have rested on how certain things in the analogue world always meant something but then when it goes on to the digital world it should take on different meaning.

Obviously this is sensitive and has controversy, but why is the topic now flagged? It's not party politics, or other really sensitive subject.
Recently went on the chair search, of course people said get the Aeron. One co-worker said he got one for 50 bucks off craiglist. I wasnt getting that lucky. Ended up just going to local staples/office depot and sitting in a bunch of chairs. Found one for two hundo that adjusts and is quite comfortable. It's a beautyrest chair (mattress company).

Others are right it's about the measurements and angles. I measured up my desk , keyboard level etc and made sure my chair fit those measurements. Also have an old varidesk from 2014 that still works. So i spent about an hour standing during morning & afternoon sessions. This really helps me , avoiding the sitting for 8+ hours which really sucks.

Depending on your situation, when i was in office i would take a 5-10 min walk in morning and afternoon to stretch, close browser tabs, and collect thoughts. Take breaks & walks if you can!
> How true is this actually?

There's a nice write-up here[1]. To summarize, using the Arrhenius equation as an approximation, one roughly gets that a 10C increase in operating temperature leads to cutting the expected lifetime in half.

However this is a rough approximation and does not consider various other failure modes, such as those associated with thermal cycling.

It also does not really matter much when significantly below the rated max temps: 2000 years cut in half is still plenty...

The take-away seems to be that operating continuously near the max rated temperature can have a significant effect on expected lifetime. Also extreme thermal cycling is probably not a good idea either.

Someone with legal sense should look into what is mentioned in the app's EULA.
True to a certain extent. However it is not just a matter of labour. The nature of Software Development is so very different from other jobs that we need to study it from first principles. The main issue is the tremendous cognitive effort demanded of Software Engineers (Dijkstra's paper "The Humble Programmer" is relevant here) which exceeds the plasticity/adaptive capacity of the Human Organism. Couple it with the complete lack of physical activity due to our modern sedentary lifestyle and you have a recipe for maladaptation. "Ego Depletion", "Decision Fatigue" are all real disorders.

I have a feeling that as we advance our study of the Science of "Epigenetics" we will understand better the consequences of our current "Tech Industry Lifestyle".
at this point it is mostly a problem of perception, and apparent complexity.

portability is not the problem, but you still need to learn how to package for each different system, you have to maintain at least 3 sets of build-to-package instructions and understand each ecosystem.

for example, i only develop on linux. yet, packaging for all linux distributions is still a hurdle. why can't i just compile and upload to my website?

i have never packaged for windows or mac, and the thought having to learn those alone makes me turn away in disgust. i am probably wrong, and packaging for both is way easier than i think. but that's exactly the point of the problem being based on perception and apparent complexity.

in order to package for all three systems, i need to first of all want to do that. and i find that i don't care enough to want it.
It's hard to judge Tesla at this point, most automotive companies really can't be judged until their vehicles are
on the road heavily for over a decade. I've said this before but I can't imagine a Tesla on the road today being on the road in thirty years. Hopefully I'm wrong. Otherwise we're going to have a lot of 'good for the environment' vehicles in landfills like cellphones. While the gas guzzling 30+ year old Toyota will be chugging along.

Having seen the evolution of AI in fits and starts from the early days to now I don't understand why the skeptical stance is still default.

I argue it would be surprising if we don't get there relatively soon.
