I’ll start with JUCE (https://www.juce.com) just because it’s easy to get started. It’s similar to QT but oriented towards audio and can produce VST3/AU or audio apps pretty much out of the box.

Once you get the hang of it it’s all about DSP. FFT, filter design etc.
Also most actual DSP code is C/C++ depends on deployment needs.

another approach is to try Faust, PureData. Look those up and see what’s looks as a good starting point for you.
Thanks! There's definitely no problem with making a bit of money through a side project. Perhaps I worded it poorly, but that restriction was put in place to prevent companies/established organizations from posting their products on the platform as the site is meant for individuals to post their side projects. I'll rephrase it, thanks for pointing it out.
I don't understand the situation you are concerned about where you don't end up paying the minimum of 90% of your current year's tax or 110% of the previous year's tax (these are the numbers to avoid a penalty).

Can you explain this situation?

As I see it, even in the wild case where your company's stock explodes, if your brokerage is "selling to cover", you will more than hit 110% of your previous year's tax bill (since you are paying 22% tax on those shares). Yes, you will get a whopper of a tax bill, but you won't pay penalties on it.

Btw, I don't know why you quoted "just handled" when I didn't use those words. I wanted people to recognize what "sell to cover" means, since usually when you start with a company you have to create a brokerage account and they will ask how you want your taxes handled.
Nope, have had a couple offers from small and mid-sized cos with signing bonuses in Austin. Not anywhere near FAANG-sized signing bonuses, mind you, but they exist.

I am curious about standard Bay Area FAANG signing bonuses for mid-senior level. This new grad offer from the post sounds insane to me, regardless of talent:

$115,000 salary

$240,000 equity/4 years, 1 year cliff then quarterly

$100,000 signing

Congrats to the winner of that deal.

If you're talking about the U.S. prison-industrial system, you answered your own question.

More people are imprisoned in the United States than were in the Soviet gulags or Nazi Germany.

More black people are in the prison/parole system than were enslaved before the passage of the 13th Amendment.
I run a collection of websites that all use infinite scroll and serve ~90 million MAUs.

#1 Poor performance issues

We started doing off-screen clean up, but it's a similar pattern to any ListView like component. Setup and teardown. The browser is smart though. It's not any more work than the setup/teardown a typical SPA should be doing.

#2 Footer is drowned

Footers are useless. Put it in the menu.

#3 Difficult to implement analytics

No more difficult than triggering a SPA pageview. This is misleading.

#4 Navigation is muddled

This is the most valid argument. We solved by being clever about History.pushstate(), triggering when the next article title hits 50% of screen. Bookmarking works fine.

#5 Scrollbar is hard to use

Misleading. The web is mostly mobile. People generally use efficient scroll input devices, scroll wheels trackpads. Most browsers hide the scrollbar because of this. Scrolling many tens-of-thousands of pixels is NBD.

#6 It is hard to use

Misleading, not quantifiable.

#7 Disorients users

Misleading, not quantifiable.

#8 No skipping allowed

Easily solved. We built an in-between module to provide the user with the option to modify their infinite scroll path. If you pick something here we use that to make the rest of articles closer to your interests.

#9 No bookmarking

Solved with History.pushstate()

#10 Terrible user experience

Any UI pattern can be abused to be bad UX.

# Pagiantion UX is usually bad

To counter the arguments. Arguably pagination is more broken. Navigating pages. Generally they aren't bookmarkable unless you implement advanced cursor pagination.

# Content consumption flow

Data supports that users want to consume content with minimal interaction and engagement. If you provide a consistent scroll experience to get from one thing to another, and it's relevant enough, people will really stick around and consume it.

Bounces, time spent, and other KPIs for web-traffic engagement have all gone up as a result of using infinite scroll.

Perhaps we're an outlier and paid attention to the difficult to solve implementation nuances but I don't mind it on other sites.

The alternatives were footers full of information I'm not interested in and outbrain modules...

This science journalism isn't all that bad, actually. The article is clearly about Ivermectin, and never mentions "bacteria killed parasite" - Additionally, Ivermectin and other avermectins are macrocyclic lactones and are derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. So even if teh article mentions bacteria... it's still not wrong.

A -> B != B -> A. In other words, you can't draw an affirmative conclusion from a negative premise.

You can say that if Socrates never wrote then we would not have any surviving texts. This is logical. But you can't turn that around and conclud that the fact that we have no surviving texts attributed to Socrates means he never wrote / was against writing. This logical proposition is not closed, there are unaccounted variables for why we may not have any texts. You can only propose the contrapositive, in that if we did have surviving texts from Socrates, it means he wrote.

You could even argue that I shouldn't have said "he never wrote anything", because we just can't definitely know. I was just being brief.

The notion of "size" being referred to here is the charge radius of the proton:

It is one of several distinct possible notions of "size" for a particle.
It is available on the Google Play store as an ePub as well with likely DRM added as well. I ordered from there.
There are legitimate concerns about efficacy (there’s research that suggests that evolution will help mosquitoes escape the gene drive effect, making it useful for only a short period of time) and about unknown ecological consequences (knocking out a primary food source in an ecosystem can have devastating health and economic consequences). That’s not to say it’s not worth it, but it is worth debating and figuring out how to do it correctly. I don’t think it’s fair to say there’s a silver bullet that is being held up by ignorant/uninformed/unethical skeptics.
So, as many problems as there are with infinite scrolling, people keep using them because they generally work. Some might say that it's bad for users but good for companies because it encourages them to stay on the site more by using psychology, one can also point to the way sites promote a "Most popular package" or how they price things to encourage people using psychology to spend more than they might have originally.

Argue whatever you want, but if something works, people are going to use it. And as long as it's not misleading people, it's hard to present it has a dark pattern.

Scientists are human and guidelines dictating acceptable behavior must exists and be enforced; just like any other field of work.

A more open peer-review system would help this issue and expose abusers like this, but it's not clear (to me) how such a system could work... At least this issue does not directly affect the quality of research, but rather corrupt the already noisy quality metric of citation count.

Why is the bearing of arms protected? Because the founders sought distributed defense instead of centralized authoritarianism.

Can you elaborate?

Are you arguing that macOS users need less security than iOS users?

I have to say that "it's this way because it has always been this way" is a very poor argument.
I understand that it's a one-time bonus and TC drops off after that. I'm still curious what the circumstances were for that specific candidate and whether they had unusual circumstances that gave them more leverage than the usual bachelor degree new grad.

In a lot of ways, I find myself initially trusting a tech writer whose book is 250 pages over one whose book is 400.

The courage to stop at a couple hundred pages when you've said everything that needs to be said is not something everyone has.

I think this may be one aspect of why I love 'Refactoring' and hate 'Design Patterns'. It has so much more information in a book half the size.
At least at the companies I've worked at and had offers from, the signing bonus is essentially to make up for the annual bonus you don't get the first year.

E.g. in the oil industry, a significant chunk of your compensation is usually a cash bonus. Equity is reserved for C-level.

The typical starting salary for a new grad PhD or MS in geoscience at the majors is around $110k/year. That usually comes with ~$15-20k signing bonus, that you have to pay back if you leave within two years. However, you don't get an annual bonus your first year. The bonus is ~15% at that level, so it works out to be the same as if you'd gotten your annual bonus your first year.
I think the parent's point is that it's better to have a job, even if it's low-paying and has few protections, than to have no job at all.

Obviously it'd be better if all jobs were reasonably-paying and had protections, and you could directly replace all the bad ones with better ones, but that's not the world we live in.
That's an interesting tidbit of history. Thanks
I’m curious to hear what the unintended consequences of this California ruling might mean. It would be terrible if this creates more body-shop firms whose only value is to sole-source contractors and remove the opportunity to 1099.
I’m somewhat similar, but I never feel sleepy even if i spend 24 or more hours awake, i will feel extremely tired but never like some people falling asleep in their desk or while driving, i need to intentionally go to sleep and it will be instant, 6hs is my optimal sleep time and most of my family from my mother side is the same.
Last Uber drive that I talked to that did this on the side was in the area for some construction job that required him to be on site some days of the week, others didn't. In those days when they didn't call on him he did Uber for some money. The alternative was to not do anything and not get that money. There are definitely costs (hidden or not, really depends on how deep you are going to look for them) but I can also see how given the alternative of not doing anything they can still help. It's not like the Uber driver doesn't have to pay for insurance, registration and other fixed car costs (food, rent) anyway, whether they Uber or not.
As a kid growing up in Malaria country I got yellow jaundice. Doctor told my dad that since I had had yellow jaundice I was "immune" to malaria. Its been 35 odd years since I have taken any malaria medication. Family members often get malaria once or so a year. A few years ago I decided to check to see if there were was any literature online with link between Malaria and jaundice. I couldn't find any papers online. Now I don't know whether what the doctor told my dad was true or there is something to be said about me having mentally told myself I am immune to malaria. To this day my dad maintains I cannot get malaria. The younger me believed him wholeheartedly, the older me would be grateful for some research papers on the topic.

Yes and no. A company that hires contractors who bounce from gig to gig meets (B) assuming that the software in the other gigs applies to different businesses.

I think he did the right thing too (though maybe not the best way, but that's a completely different argument). But I don't think you have to treat him as a traitor.

I think the framers very much understood that democracy is always a balancing act. One that must be continually fought for. I think anyone who really has looked into democracy clearly see this.

What would be my motivation doing so? Not sure what is the advantage of running my DNS over HTTPS.

>> DNS over HTTPS (or DoH) is a protocol that makes browsing more private. Browsers typically resolve domain names with an unencrypted protocol, allowing nosy neighbors and internet providers to snoop on some internet activity. DoH creates an enecrypted connection between browsers and the DNS resolver to make it difficult to even see what domains a user is loading.

This is simply not true (typo aside). My resolver runs locally in my apartment or in our office. "nosy neighbors and internet providers" are not a threat to us but surveillance companies are, who coincidentally pushing for DoH. And DoH is a protocol that makes browsing easier to be controlled by your browser vendor. These guys just forget that not all DNS traffic is originated from web browsers. Google (Chrome) already ignores resolv.conf and trying to force its way to 8.8.8.8. Basically fighting for the last bit of information they can get about you. Thanks, but no thanks.

The difference is with science the truth will eventually out. No one says science is incorruptible, but the process of science means that it generally keeps moving in the correct direction, despite normal human tendencies. The other part is that when science is found to be wrong, scientists change their assumptions based on new information. There's numerous examples of science being used for ill. Light bulbs that burn out faster because of a cabal of bulb makers, functional vaccines for diseases locked up for years unused, and mistakes like radiation poisoning of workers and people because we just didn't understand the ramifications at the time. All of these were eventually corrected by other scientists. Now specific to writing papers, paper writing is required for some educational job progress. The journals are supposed to be ethical, however this problem has been known about and pointed out numerous times by ethical scientists.

Sure! SimpleID is giving developers access to protocols that let users store their data and control their data. When you do this, you are not managing the data on behalf of the user, they are managing it themselves. That is inherently compliant.
Hong Kong could be the catalyst for Xi being deposed. Not likely, but it could happen.

This is very bad for Erdoğan. They won't be able to block DNS over HTTPS. Thus teir classic DNS blocks will be useless. Last time I've checked there was over 300K blocked domains via DNS. Even 8.8.8.8 doesn't work.
I have had a good with with a few community banks that were in the area that I happened to be in. The poor man's implementation ( 3 accounts with the one coded for no withdrawals ) costs about $15/mo and it makes me known to the branch staff, including the managers, which is invaluable. It works for both personal and business accounts but it does not have a good online experience -- there's no positive pay.

National banks ( think Chase/Citi/Boa/WF/HSBC ) offer positive pay on cash management accounts ( corporate/treasury/commercial ) but have very complex workflow so I avoid them.

From regional ones I had a good experience with PNC.

True, though I don’t think that’s a “DNA” computer in the same way that merely using semiconductors doesn’t makes my laptop a “quantum” computer.

Going with the Kuzweil estimate on Wikipedia, human brains are about 1e15 ops/Joule, whereas the best in the Green500 list (June 2019) is 1.76e10 ops/Joule.

The problem with ever-smaller transistors isn't actually a lack of ideas. Optical is promising! 2.5D FinFET is already in production. Gate-all-around transistors are past the research stage.

All of these new technologies are a drastic change to what semiconductor fabs are used to manufacturing. That means new tools, new training, new testing processes, and an unproven economic model.

The problem with having too many choices is that companies must choose, and invest heavily in one option. If that fails to scale up to industrial capacity, it could ruin the company.

I like optical because it's resistant to EMP, but that might just be my taste in films like the Matrix.
