> Most of the people on that bus are not blaring music or aggressively panhandling. A small percentage, just like in the general population, are.

My point is that the rest of the "general population" is upset by that "small percentage" as much as OP, and the "general population" wishes there was more aggressive enforcement of social and legal norms on the bus. And that it's elitist to fault OP for his view, instead of faulting the government for not properly policing the bus.
After 3 minutes, this just crashed the browser on an old AOSP stock Android device I have. The last time I implemented something like this as a proof-of-work (first party) solution, it fell apart instantly when someone wrote a dedicated bot for it - 5 zeroes were found in sub-0.5s times in non-browser-JS.
I don’t see why not, as long as you make it clear what it is. E.g., if a C API is handing me an opaque handle that I need to pass around to the rest of the API, I don’t need to know that it’s a pointer (I’m not the one dereferencing it) and I’d rather not have to worry about that if I’m using the API properly.

I totally agree and, anecdotally, the last time I was interviewing for a position, the thing I was terrified of the most was running out of questions to ask (which happened eventually, after 5 rounds of interviews with ample time in between).

And if Ford would not allow me who can enter in my Ford, won't allow me to replace the original Ford mirror with a cheap working one then I would also be pissed at Ford and ask the government to fix this.

You can push the bad argument you brought in the other direction, Microsoft does not dominate the PC , what about servers ? but desktop and server users differ? so iOS and Android users differ and it is not about Apple dominating Google is about Apple having a leverage position over developers and abusing it.

>Because the "mono" in monopoly means "one", not "two".

But we were talking about dominating and abusing, but if you missed it, then I will repeat, you do not need to be a monopoly do dominate and abuse, you can have 2 or 3 companies sharing a market and abusing their dominance, so stop posting same comment of "Apple is not a monopoly on smartphones" someone was smart enough to think about more the duopoly case and the laws covder that too.

We (Google TS team) maintain a tool[1] that transforms TS types into jsdoc types for the purpose of feeding them into 'advanced' mode. We also (to answer the grandparent question) maintain a tool[2] that converts Closure-annotated TS into JS. (Why both ways? We transition JS->TS and check it in as the code the user works with, while we use the TS->JS one within the compiler at optimization time.)

> How much precision would you need to accurately record the sound of a pin dropping (10db)? 4 bits? 8 bits? 10 bits? 12 bits?

The absolute minimum threshold of human perception is about -8dB. 1 bit corresponds to about 6 dB of dynamic range, so the sound of a pin dropping at 10 dB can be represented perfectly within the limits of human hearing using only 3 bits.

Additionally, with proper dithering, the effective dynamic range of a 16-bit digital signal is around 120 dB. That's sufficient to reproduce everything from the -8 dB absolute quietest audible sound all the way up to your 110 dB bass drum.

See https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html#toc_1... for a more detailed analysis.
There are a bunch of questions that attempt to proxy how mature the data pipeline/data engineering is of the company you're looking at.

* Do you do batch and/or streaming computation?

* What kind of access do you have for querying/accessing the data this role will predominately be working using?

* Do you have dedicated data engineers and data infrastructure people

* What's your workflow orchestration engine?

* What is the data access pattern for historical data (there had better be at least SQL access here).

* Do you have built-in feedback loops for your machine learning products?

* What is your serialization format of record for production and for OLAP?

* How often do schemas change in your databases?

The Dead Sea scrolls need a serious re-examination by modern scholars not biased towards mainstream Christianity, similar to the work on Jesus mythicism that has been done over the past 20 years that draws on Gnostic, Essene, and other historically contemporary sources.

It does work for modelling flows, but the meaning of balances gets a bit wonky. Income is revenues - expenses in the debit/credit model, but in the plus/minus model it's -revenue - expenses (hledger's income statement report flips the sign on revenue accounts, so you get the net via the normal equation).

A different way to do double-entry-lite might be to retain plus/minus, but have that operate on the account's normal balance -- pay for expenses by decreasing an asset or increasing a liability. Transactions still balance even if they don't sum to zero -- it makes sense that an IOU balances out the coffee you just got. You do need to understand the four basic account types (explicit equity accounts are arguably not relevant to most individuals), but that's something that's needed anyway. You still don't need to explicitly learn about debits and credits, but if you do it's much closer from here than from the flow-based approach.

Flow is easy, but I feel that in the end modeling the effect on balances is simpler.
if they're still around, you can ask questions, and get a much better handle on why it's the way it is, and perhaps avoid earlier mistakes, and come up with a better strategy. maybe even just actually document the 'whys' and leave it as is.

Loss of Sexual Desire in Women; Lack of Interest in Sex

Female frigidity happens to be the loss of sexual desire in women. This is caused due to decline of libido present in the body. There are a large number of physiological as well as psychological factors that are associated with the problem of frigidity in women. It is important to have a healthy diet as well as regular exercise that help to improve the sex drive of a person. It is also important to make sure of reducing the intake of alcohol and getting the best diet. It has been seen that frigid women has to suffer from a lot of problem.

Calibre is another well known case, and they don't plan to migrate.

Actually, I can't wait to remove it from my hard drive on Jan 1, since it's one of the most poorly designed apps I've ever used. It's really not surprising at all that they're not able to migrate it, assuming the quality of the app is indicative of the quality of the code. I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true of a lot of applications that are refusing to migrate. (I'll probably have to find an alternative to ebook-convert, the command line tool that's the only part of Calibre I use, or maybe I'll rewrite it in Python 3 myself.)
I'd say the protest is motivated by both, the economic issues (inequality, housing costs), and the political issues (gradual decline of civil liberties, encroaching Chinese influence).

The notion that Britain is to blame for the situation is interesting. Sir John James Cowperthwaite [1] introduced very laissez-faire economic policies in the 1960's (he famously refused to collect economics statistics (such as GDP numbers), as he argued that they'd just encourage technocratic government officials to meddle with the economy).

First, this tells us that libertarian ideas have their limits. They arguably made HK rich back then (but note that many other economies were growing rapidly in the 1960s and 1970s, with far more left-leaning policies; the USA had a marginal tax rate of 70% for the highest earners in those decades and grew just fine).

Second, it is well known that Britain tried to grant Hong Kong more autonomy and democracy way back then, but was thwarted by China in that. Furthermore, the democratic reforms Britain instituted before the handover were promptly revoked by China.

Thirdly, Hong Kong has been a Chinese SAR (special administrative region) for over 20 years by now. To blame Britain for the current conundrum is a bit far-fetched.

Note by the way that several Hong Kong protest leaders have been granted asylum in Germany.

We don't know that, or not with the interpretation I think you're making. I mean, the correlation here between vaping and lipoid pneumonia is objectively much stronger than it is between smoking and lung cancer after a similar amount of use.

I guess most epidemiologists would go with you and bet that this is "probably" not as bad, long term. But given the evidence at hand that's still a pretty significant risk.

I don't know... I don't really consider myself part of the HN echo-chamber (who does, I guess?). I hear "use case" fairly regularly here at our university, among non-technical staff in our academic support units. Perhaps we've indoctrinated them over the years...

Regardless, I would argue that "use case" has a quite specific and useful meaning that goes beyond mere corp-speak. I wouldn't use in conversation at a neighbourhood barbecue, but in a technical context (like a discussion of Python) the usage seems perfectly fine.
Climate change is nothing to sneer at but it seems like it's now acceptable to make dubious claims about weather disasters and link every single one to climate change in some fashion. When really the picture is more nuanced; there's not necessarily any solid proof beyond cost of rebuilding that link recent hurricanes to climate change. Perhaps another example of primarily-political "junk" climate science is the 12-year figure. All these claims with no proof actually hurt the movement to remedy the very real, yet long-term issue facing us.

When discussing climate change with the average person, I get strong vibes of post-9/11 US, the idea that there is now a problem so incredibly urgent that any justification for extreme and illiberal policy is suddenly acceptable. Reddit now casually bandies about the idea of raiding Brazil to preserve its forest, in a rather disappointing mirror-image of early-2000s neoconservatism. In the face of fear we seem lose our values as Americans incredibly quickly.
Depends on what do you need?

I.e. my company has integrated low-code marketing-campains scheduling designer, that is node-based. I think it is quite cool and our users seem to like it? At least it looks like a good fit for a job. What I as a programmer like, is that you can't make cycles as the designer, limiting the complexity.

But the tool itself is quite niche and I am not sure I would want to do anything complex with it.

So is the idea that the break up would give content producers access to the ads and or ad data? Presumably this would allow them to generate better ads for a particular user? Would that allow you to have multiple ad data providers (which may have access to Google and FB data) competing with each other? How does the content discovery part of Google or FB work then and how are they paid? The power of FB and Google I think is about what you do after you visit a particular site. Also what about FB marketplace and other online classifieds (e.g. craigslist)? That was where local newspapers made money.

For local papers, I could see some kind of cooperative develop, maybe where web resources are pooled, and hyper local ad data generated.
That’s something of a ‘no true Scotsman’ argument.

In areas with high average rainfall central pivot are often not supplemented by other irrigation systems or different crops. Sure, drip could increase yields slightly, but it’s not considered to be worth both the expense and hassle.

In other words, standard agricultural practice varies by location to maximize profit by increasing yield, when it’s cost effective to do so.

PS: Posting that feels like a really nitpicking argument as I think we both agree with what’s going on. But, I get annoyed when people talk about maximizing yield as a shorthand for maximizing profit. It’s something of a social convention where you can’t say you’re trying to make more money even when talking about how you make more money.

Often, at least in the US, and perhaps other places as well, money is a pretty strong proxy for power, and so concentrating wealth can end up concentrating power as well. I can appreciate the semantic difference between the two, and conceptually agree that breaking up companies _should_ distribute power. But I'm wondering about the long-term implications/success rate of breakups?

Antitrust action against Microsoft has been argued to have led to the oligopolistic state of affairs today [1].

The break up of AT&T/Bell System worked in the short term, but the market has re-consolidated into a few big TelCo players.

And that's just at the company level. I'd be interested as well whether the increased wealth/increased concentration of wealth among former owners also leads to (in the long term) increased regulatory capture or other side effects spearheaded by those individuals with their increased war chest.

Magnetic tape is still used in recording, but for the distortion it adds rather than concern about quantization. In fact, the audio is simply routed through the tape machine, then into a computer for storage.

Distortion here means both extreme distortion (e.g. clipping) which is what people often think of when they hear the word "distortion", or the more technical definition of any alteration of the input signal. The pre-amps, compressors, and so on will all add their own distortion to the signal. However this is desired distortion. Tape offers some of this, although I'm not familiar with what its exact characteristics are.

Clipping (when the input signal amplitude exceeds the limits of the storage medium or output device) is a type of distortion that can sound great or absolutely awful.

Digital clipping sound awful. The max amplitude is all 1's in the digital storage medium. When a signal exceeds this, for the duration of it exceeding every sample will have that same value of all 1's. The waveform will basically have the top lopped off. There will be sharp "corners" where it starts to clip, and where it stops clipping. Those corners create "pops". It makes that part of the recording unusable.

Analog clipping can be a very sought after sound though. The max amplitude on tape is when all of the poles of the magnetic material are aligned. This isn't perfect though and it's not instant, so you get a slower compression of the signal and some variation. The waveform will look like its top has been squeezed downward. This can sound amazing.

The quality on youtube is pretty bad (spotify or elsewhere is better), but this song has a great example. You can hear his voice distort in many places, but it sounds wonderful (particularly starting around 2:20 - 2:40 and 3:10). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAGS8UL9b6A
