I just went to a concert and heard a number of deeply moving pieces that I had never heard before in my life and were very different from what I normally listen to.

I think it's also definitely true that a good musical soundtrack enhances any movie/tv show/game/etc. even if you're encountering both for the first time. Without the music, it just isn't nearly as frightening/exciting/romantic/funny/ triumphant/etc..
Not "everyone" is a bank. Some big companies can afford to be a bank.

Becoming a bank (or an insurance company) while it is actually not that hard (information mgmt wise) is really expensive due to regulatory bumps. Thus only big money can afford to start up banks (or insure'ers). These rules ensure that you always have capitalists running these shows. Thus making the world even more unfair. I guess the rules that make it so artificially hard to start up in those sectors are prolly lobbied into existence.

If the customers rejects the deliverable the freelancer gets 1/3 and the client gets 2/3 back...I'm not in the freelance world, but doesn't that incentive the freelancer not working at their best? If their deliverable is accepted, they got 100% of the money at less work, and if it's rejected, they get paid anyway.

I wonder if one can optimize that balance to abuse this structure.
I’ve recently gotten back into wanting some Pirate Lego sets from when I was young, but to play with not as an investment.

I have absolutely no interest in using any of these online start-up banks, but Dutch banks tend to be pretty decent. They're well regulated and try to be aware of their social responsibility. Most of the banks I've worked for appear to the taking this fairly seriously, and try to run their software departments as real tech companies. They try to make accessing your money as easy, convenient and cheap as possible without compromising security. They're by no means perfect, but they're a lot better than most American banks sound.
SG is strategically located in Asia and has taken advantage of that.

HK was/is an entreport to China. Before 1949, it was not as important as Shanghai. After 1949, it was where a lot of southern Chinese escaped and became a manufacturing/cheap labor hub, while also taking advantage of British civil service practices.

Post China's economic changes, HK became the bridge between the world and China's economy, plus the place for China's new rich to park their money "safely".

Today, it is losing/has lost that advantage, because China's corruption has taken hold of the government, and as a result, the "rule of law".

I'm curious if anyone knows of a good option for symmetric 10Gbps at home. Only thing I can think of is a Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN 10Gb switch and a PC with a NIC with two 10Gb SFP+ ports to handle NAT, DHCP etc.
(Disclaimer: yWorks employee)

If you still have that graph somewhere, we'd love to see it. We're always curious (and sometimes surprised and astonished) what people create with yEd.

As far as competitors go, there are lots of other options, both in end-user applications for graph editing, as well as libraries.

For end-users it seems many stick with the first tool they really like and get used to its features, strengths, and idiosyncrasies (and from my experience there are many weirdnesses among those applications, including our own). Automatic layout may be a killer feature for our offering, though. As far as I know there is not much that can compare here (although for many people simple hierarchic or force-directed approaches may suffice and they might not need every option).

For library users it often comes down to a decision based on required features, cost, custom development effort, and target platform. I think we're well-situated for customers where cost is less of an issue, that have competent developers and require extensive customization (and support). It's not uncommon that D3 might be a better choice, depending on the requirements.
Most people that get caught for tax avoidance get punished civilly (fines etc).

Corporates can't be put in prison and piercing that veil takes a lot of work. Getting the money disgorged is a good step.

Very interesting. The autistic community refer to the "double empathy" problem - and now I'm wondering about parallels.

I have a full size Magic keyboard (because my MBP 2018 keys started dying and they couldn't guarantee same-day repair) and it really isn't all that.

Sometimes I get a similar feeling as the MBP keyboard in that it seems to "miss" keystrokes, or get them in the wrong order. Though admittedly the worse MBP characteristic of doubling or tripling up a single keystroke is not there.

There are a bunch of raw sensor components that you can connect to an Arduino or Pi. I ended up going with the Sensirion SCD30 but also tested options from Amphenol's Telaire line. Both are pretty easy to communicate with using an Arduino.

I haven't tested an MH-Z19 but that's a popular cheap option.

Unfortunately, yes, the space is fragmented. A long while ago I chose https://luftdaten.info/en/ because sensor firmware, DB, and tools are truly open source (GPL, ODbL, MIT). Next to supporting many sensors, it also allows for your own back-ends (API, InfluxDB). The community is awesome and has hacker values.

To their defence you should see the eye watering piles of regulations they have to comply with. A large international bank will typically have a whole team dedicated to just reading all the draft and final regulations that are coming every week.

Regulators state that they want more competition but in reality they don’t. Those regulations create massive barriers to entry. And regulators are wary about smaller players who will not have the scale to be financially robust, will be more likely to be a dodgy operation, and not to have all the established procedures of a large player.
To me, this sounds like "there is no alternative" defense. I don'know whether it is made with the idea of making one's situation feel less miserable, but it is plain wrong.

Considering the ancestor comment and how the situation seems to weight on that person, I would advise to try and find a better situation, because from personal experience, when you start grinding yourself for a job postitve outcomes become very unlikely.
Blame it on Intel.

I doubt Apple will make a new 13" just for the Keyboard. It will require some other improvements, like for the 16", they got larger display, better CPU and GPU. The problem with the 13" is they dont come with Discreet GPU, which means Apple will have to wait for new Intel Icelake, with Better CPU and iGPU before releasing an update.

Intel Icelake platform will also come with WiFi6.

I am not sure if Apple want to release a 13"MBP with better Wireless Spec than its bigger 16" brother. So the likelihood of 13" releases is when they update their 16" again with Icelake as well.

But the problem with Intel Icelake is 10nm. And judging from the current retail Icelake solutions, the chances of Intel lying again with 10nm yield is extremely high. And that is why all of a sudden you see Intel PR and Marketing team on fire in the past few months, keep sharing their roadmap and their forth coming tech. From GPU to OneAPI etc.

May be in Intel will finally fix their 10nm problem in time for another update in WWDC or earlier, if not I hope Apple will switch to AMD.

Edit: And I would also like to point out, the so called Better Thermals, Bigger Battery, only when comparing to 2016+ MBP, they are roughly the same in 2015 MBP.

Ask HN: Does logical thinking attenuate emotions?
I believe that, a few years ago, I read an article that claimed that activity in regions of the brain associated with rational thinking tended to be correlated with less activity in other regions associated with emotions.

Anecdotally, I feel that, after I have been focusing on a technical project for a prolonged period of time, it's more difficult for me to empathize with others.

Did I generate a false memory and confirmation bias, or is this actually a thing?
Could've called it Kremlin, that one is also trying to spread chaos and confusion...
Do you have a PurpleAir II to compare against? I suspect that there will be some extra calibration or signal processing some to make it more accurate that will be missing in the raw sensor.

EDIT: The link we're discussing says this explicitly: "[...] These particle counts are processed by the sensor using a complex algorithm to calculate the PM1.0, PM2.5 & PM10 mass in ug/m3. [...] PurpleAir PA-II uses two identical PMS5003 sensor units attached to each other and placed in the same shelter. [...]"

I don't think you can recommend the PMS5003 as a substitute for the PurpleAir II.
Yet the world itself worked rather well. That must either mean that taxing working well is not necessary for the world to work well or that it worked better than you are implying.

Apple store techs can't really fix stuff. All they can do is replace and it takes 3-10 days depending on country.

Yeah, when their batteries swell up twice in 3 years, and they take 11 days each time and you're out of your main workstation for that long? See how that compares with an hour fixing it yourself.

FPGA's will (likely) always be a niche.

Xilinx/Altera/Lattice have never found a real high volume mass market.

Xilinx for example is trying to push for cloud storage and AI applications but the reality is that if your are not worried about power consumption, then the development time/cost will be far less if you just use a GPU+CPU instead.

Unless you are doing nanosecond high criticality i/o or signal processing that benefits from high parallelization then FPGA's are probably overengineering.
What I love about Makefiles is that they just use the CLI tools. Full build tools like Gradle or Bazel require installing specific plugins and learning a new inferior syntax, making them a nightmare to use if you need to use a non implemented feature of the underlying tool. The biggest pain point is also that they don't even bother to print the actual command being executed!

I recently used make in a side project[1] to implement a "full" continuous delivery pipeline and it really was refreshing, despite the syntactic quirks.

I've built my own "IoT" Sensors by hooking up a bunch of components to an ESP32 on a breadboard. I ended up going with:

- CO2: Sensirion SCD30

- Particulates: Amphenol SM-UART-04L

- VOC: Sensirion SGP30

- Temperature/humidity/pressure: Bosch BME680

After hooking everything up I just wrote some code to pipe sensor readings to InfluxDB, which is connected to Grafana.

In the end I have no way of properly testing accuracy but the sensors are consistent between units and behave as expected when exposed to fresh air, which is the most I can look at right now.
That's quite interesting, which one did you get? What are your impressions so far? And can it be used for data?

With 1.6% interest rates for mortgages... I don't know how dutch banks make money.

They sell insurance and offer consumer investment accounts -- which are not permitted for us citizens!
I don’t know if it is specific to banks but there is a common pattern I have seen among internal developers: not only a complete lack of curiosity to understand finance, the underlying business, but an active resistance to any attempt to explain them. They want the numbers to be data, and don’t want to have to know anything about this data, and be told exactly what to do with it and they will code it up.

I am sure there are exceptions, but my point is if you talk to someone who understand what is going on in a bank, you would be extremely lucky that this person also can code.

This is slowly changing as I see an increasing number of junior bankers who are also interested in picking up coding skills. They won’t be developers per se but will certainly become technically literate interlocutors. But it will take some time.

There's a study[1] by Richard Muller from Berkeley Earth that proposes an equivalence between air pollution and daily cigarettes smoked. He uses the number of deaths caused by these 2 factors as a common denominator to calculate the equivalence.

I believe cognitive cost would also be a good denominator. Something like "we find that an increase of 10 µg/m³ raises the probability of a chess player making an error by 1.5 percentage points. The same 1.5 percentage points would be caused by smoking 2 cigarettes per day."

Plug: I'm the author of an open-source mobile app[2] which does this pollution-cigarettes conversion. I think cigarettes gives a strong image of air quality for those who are unfamiliar with AQI.

Same. I love typing on it, and my reliability issues haven't been as bad as yours, but occasionally having 2 'a's come out instead of one is very annoying for a command-line driven workflow.
I also hate external noise. Here's my nuke option.

1) Sony XM3 headphones. They are the 2nd most comfortable after the Bose headphones and have the best NC. So far, nothing you haven't done before.

2) High quality foam earplugs. I have the Mack's Ultra Soft plugs, with 32 decibel noise reduction rating. Anything with 27 decibel reduction or above should be good enough though. You may need to alternate between a few brands and variants before you find one that's comfortable enough to go many hours with.

3) Pink Noise. Play it quite softly so that you can barely even hear it at all with the plugs in. It helps to drown out the remaining external noises that come through without registering in your brain as extra noise itself (which is why I play pink noise instead of other suggestions such as calming music). I like this one: https://youtu.be/8SHf6wmX5MU

I combine all 3 for the nosiest areas like studying in a busy cafe, but you won't usually need the whole stack.

FWIW and for all its other shortcomings, Raku (nee Perl 6) handles common arithmetic in a manner that wouldn't surprise a mathematician. Or non-mathematician, for that matter. Witness:
