Echo isn't the same as reverb. Reverb is a simulation of acoustic spaces small enough that you don't hear distinct echoes. You need multiple short delays to simulate the time taken for sound to travel between surfaces of the room, and feedback between them to simulate the reflections. AFAIK all tape delays are too slow to produce reverb sounds.

At Maker Faire Tokyo this year there was a booth handing out PCBs for their side project: an interactive packet delay and packet loss simulator. Underneath it uses tc commands, but they used rotary encoders and a little LCD screen to make it super easy to use.

I took a PCB, bought the other parts, and put one together. Still need to try it out this week.

I once visited Berlin, and the tourist guide (I mean the book, not a person) also talked about how many bicycles there were. Thing is, I didn't think the number of bicycles was all that much different from what I was used to where I live (Antwerp, Belgium) or from visiting other European cities.

1. Recruiters are scraping the same job boards applicants use.

2. Salary Surveys are always wrong, and many go underpaid because they don't know how to negotiate.

3. Companies write contracts poorly, with little consideration for things that keep employees engaged and on a contract.

4. There are way too many technology stacks, too many people focus on saying theirs is the best rather than accurately evaluating solutions based on available skills and right fit to the business need.

5. Way too many inexperienced and untrained people in management positions. I can't tell you how often I've heard IT managers say that they're "Not really a technical person". Stop hiring your unqualified friends.

6. Government has no idea about tech either. They need to be educated in order to protect consumers, employees, and the economy from bad tech.

7. Not enough consumer protection enforcement. When companies do bad things the consequences should set an example for everyone else, not just be 10% of the profit as a penalty.

8. Employees need better vacation, and more options for flexible work days. 40 hour weeks are a lot, the standard for industry leave is usually 15 days a year now. The entire stat of Virginia has an "At Will" employment policy. No wonder why really productive projects suffer from attrition and buron out. You only get out of that trap if you have the power to negotiate, but companies need to create better policies and stick to them for all employees.

9. Recruiters need to educate themselves on technology. Stop lying to candidates about positions, you should know the difference between Angular and Python. You should also always be up front about where the work location is, and stop sending me text messages you vultures... Email works just fine.

Yes, sire. I am sorry to have meddled in your private internet with my post.
i'm bad at math, lets say that first.

but for basic things, funny enough i feel like some of these math games / apps and math puzzle apps help me recognise patterns in numbers etc. better.

that being said, i hardly use maths ,certainly not advanced maths. but i do feel things like that are somewhat fun way to keep your senses a bit sharper.

in the end, practice makes perfect, but doing maths straight up is boring as hell to me, so i try my hand at little puzzle and maths games / apps to combat the boringness.
Switzerland. My car is regularly checked for compliance for low emissions standards. Tram line near my house produces much more noise pollution compared to cars.
> Los Angeles covers a large area so you need a car to get around.

That is exactly half the problem the article is attempting to address—and the fundamental thought pattern that keeps reinforcing the problem. More space dedicated to non-car traffic means easier to get around without a car. More housing units in areas currently taken up by parking means—theoretically, at least—less need to get around that large area on average if everything you need day-to-day is a short walk, cycle, bus or train ride away.

> The public transportion is half there but getting better.

Another point the article addresses directly—turning acres of street parking into dedicated public transport lanes. Achieve greater levels "getting better" somewhat overnight (if you imagined that it was different tomorrow).

> ... it’s more dangerous because of oblivious drivers and road rage and LA streets are notorious for pot holes.

Again, the article addresses this directly. So many cars on the road increases traffic, which increases driver frustration/rage, as well as distraction and obliviousness while plodding along through traffic. Turning parking into dedicated walking and cycling areas would bring a huge increase in cyclist and pedestrian safety (again, if you imagined it was different tomorrow).

> I see some new apartment complexes being built with underground parking right below it which is the way to go ...

The article spends considerable time arguing that this is explicitly not the way to go—parking minimums increase construction costs considerably, thus decreasing available housing units, while simultaneously increasing housing cost. Underground parking is incredibly more expensive than on-street parking, which means the already increased cost of housing with on-street parking only worsens.

Ask HN: Why isn't there a Swiggy for Hardware in India?
I love getting deliveries for food through Swiggy but if I need to buy some hardware like PVC pipes, MDF boards or aluminium rails. These are either too long or too heavy, i need a truck to haul them to my place.

Sometimes I just want 10 liters of wood glue delivered to my place.

You can't buy these from Amazon India.

Why isn't there a startup which takes care of hardware delivery?
not if somebody has a complex genetic architecture with differences in areas of high self-similarity, or copy number. The reference lacks areas (and has areas) that are in or completely missing in other human populations. It took people decades to acknowledge this deficiency (which is due almost entirely to using a very limited sampling of humans for the first references).

I was gonna say this as well. The videogame community has several fantastically talented people in it, creating /tons/ of stuff as a hobby.

Just look at all the mods and assets available on e.g. Steam marketplace or Mod DB, some of them entire games like Black Mesa: Source or Enderal. There already exist reskins of videogames (like the various Minecraft texture mods) and graphical improvement mods (like GTA V's "NaturalVision Remastered") some of which is done without any sort of official API.

(One would probably call this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_labor, but I strongly dislike the term due to its association with big$ milking fans.)

Given some thought about a general framework for this the ability to reskin might be a nice thing to have.

As we are now living in a "reality show" world, maybe. But if such decision is based on scientific, ethical, and clinical rational, that is very unlikely. The details of his work were sloppy and unethical including, (not exhaustive): He generated mutations in CCR5 that are uncharacterized. That is he didn't even use the 'delta 32' mutation observed in the gene pool). Beyond that, there is not solid rational that the kids are at risk for HIV transmission sufficiently to justify any procedure, let alone an unconsented, germ-line genetic modification.

It's clear that you are so emotional about this issue that you can't help but personally attack those who disagree with you. Let's leave it here.
I think this is fairly shortsighted. While I do think that germline gene modification will probably become routine, He specifically was a serious doofus who shat the bed for this area- he made a collection of poor decisions that would easily have been caught in hindsight, ignored multiple suggestions to improve his plans, ignored multiple suggestions to not proceed, and then managed to make a change that probably didn't achieve what he intended. Getting all those things wrong mean he's not going to be considered a visionary or pioneer.

Being odd is not a crime. What any one person would do is often not a strong indicator of what is right. A lot of people also like to distance themselves from black people. Them being black is not the same as knowing that they're violent criminals, but...

The kind of thought process that you're suggesting has very toxic tendrils.
I agree with this completely. Welfare is not supposed to create incentives for people to earn less money, it's supposed to help the legitimately poor. But those incentives certainly exist, and happen commonly enough that many people are distrustful of the welfare system as a whole.

Definition of the type is not enough, the compiler need to track the origin of all pointer values, which means it needs to 'see', recursively, all callers of the function it is optimizing up to the point where the parameter objects were originally constructed, plus any function where a pointer to the object might potentially escape to (which might be potentially any function, if it escapes to the heap).

And that might still not be enough: passing the vector by value still doesn't trigger the optimization in GCC and clang (but it does for a bare bone vector implementation, probably std vector itself ends up leaking its own internals).

> when you have a type with the magic property "this guy is allowed to alias ANYTHING", then I imagine it gets pretty tricky.

well, yes, that's the whole point of the article :)

Because part availability isn't 100% just yet, it is "hot garbage"? That seems like a stretch.

Also, animals can digest many forms of plant that are useless as human food such as plains grasses and tree leaves. Vegetarianism is elitist in that many people on earth cannot afford to foregoe any availible source of protein and food, there are starving people already and telling someone in Africa they shouldn't eat a chicken that forages near their house is pretty narrow minded. I tend to eat vegetarian on my own but this is only possible because I am privileged in my income.

The awkward part of this is that it seems someone like Epstein did not do something for nothing. The suspicious aura around him means that all of these high-profile people around him may have done some kind of tit-for-tat. Yes, barring evidence, this is all very much hearsay and his untimely death closes a lot of doors to confirm these suspicions, but the amount of circumstantial evidence involving shadyvdealibgs with the guy is enough to make this kind of thing notable.

And I absolutely think it matter where the money comes from, because not all money is equal. Funding agencies, grants, and other sources of money all have their own conditions, terms, and obligations. If you think Epstein's was without, then I think that is naïve.
I looked for MindSpore and only found references to MindSpore Studio. Anyone have a link to a git repo and docs? I saw that it also supports CPUs in addition to their custom hardware.

TensorFlow and Keras have such a large first mover advantage, the custom chips and MindSpore would have to be very efficient and inexpensive to make real inroads.
I think it's just a giant clusterfuck of supply and demand working against the people who make games in every which way.

For starters, there are a lot more people who want jobs working in games than there are jobs to make games, which creates competition for jobs that drives wages down.

Game development and design are seen as inherently rewarding jobs, which makes people more willing to see the job itself as part of the reward, which allows wages to drop even further, because it's that much harder to find a paycheck that's so crappy that nobody will take it.

All these people still being willing to make games are then going to proceed to make games, which means a lot of games are hitting the market, constantly. According to some random page I Googled[1], Steam alone saw about 25 new releases per day last year. That's a lot of competition for people's entertainment dollars.

Video games may not feel like it, on account of all the art and inspiration and love that goes into them, but in many respects they're a lot more like a commodity than most other pieces of software, due to the sheer weight of competition. If I need to build a spreadsheet, I need spreadsheet software specifically, and there are only a handful of options. On the other hand, if I'm a gamer with sufficiently diverse tastes, I might go to Steam thinking to buy a new first-person shooter, and end up buying a puzzle game instead.

Also, other kinds of software only have to compete with what's being made these days. If I want spreadsheet software, I'm going to be looking at a modern edition of Excel, Google Sheets, stuff like that, and not an ancient DOS copy of 1-2-3. Meanwhile, most my recent game purchases are games made before 1995.

Finally, I suspect that game developers end up feeling more trapped in their career path, because the particulars of the tools and techniques and skills that go into it are just different enough to create some uncertainty about whether they would really transfer. I've only got an anecdote here, but a good friend who finally decided to jump ship after over a decade in games development found it took him years to get to the point where he felt he really had his career back on track.

Interesting! When I worked at IBM, we evaluated Duckling (the Haskell version) for use in the Watson Assistant product but decided to write our own numerical quantity parser/interpreter. We used ANTLR and created context-free grammars as we found that we could improve both precision and recall substantially. Sadly not open source though.
