On youtube and spotify I'd usually just get a list of music from the same artists, or from artists who operated in the same genre that I liked, but had a very different sound to what I liked. Somehow, discovering new music on youtube/spotify is a bit of a chore, endlessly pressing next on songs that I'm not feeling, and only sometimes striking gold.

Somehow, 8tracks was different, I could pick a genre and I'd just listen to a whole playlist of mostly new, great songs. Likely because it was curated by DJs and musicians themselves, not record labels or algorithms. Second, because there's a lot of upcoming talent that's not on Spotify yet for lack of an album or label, but had a single mixtape or single record out on e.g. Soundcloud which was great. I don't know the exact mechanics, just that it was the best place to discover new music for me, and I haven't seen a good replacement yet.

> knowing what the majority wants is still interesting.

Totally agree.

> Looking at the most voted option tells you what the majority thinks.

My point is that the options are designed specifically for this type of voting system.

Here it is possible that anti-systemd votes are spread across many options and pro systemd votes are concentrated in only one or two. So even if you have most votes on "Focus on systemd" it doesn't mean that it is what most people want.

JS is very popular and has a large user base. But it's not very heterogenous, espacially compared to Python.

The vast majority of JS coders are interested in the web. A few for apps and UI in other area thanks to react native and electron. The rest is anecdotal.

There is not an entire banking industry analyzing data with JS. Biologists and chemists do not rely on JS to make their models. JS is not the de facto solution for machine learning. GIS systems are not massively scripted in JS. The cinema industry do not include JS as a core element in their rendering pipeline. No sysadmin every said "well, I know how to provision those 300 servers, I'll make a JS script". Security experts don't reach first to JS for pentesting. apt is not coded in JS. JS is not the stuff that all students will be taught in math classes. If you have a dumped csv to download from an ftp to insert in your database every night, JS is certainly not the first tool that comes to mind.

I could go on and on.

Not saying you can't do this is JS. Not saying it never happens. It's just not popular to do it.

All those tasks match some kind of user base, with different profiles, needs, skills and constraints.
Far more interesting than the colour is the weight. A lot of tennis critics these days think the surfaces are becoming more similar - clay is getting faster, grass is getting slower, etc.

What has actually happened is the various federations change the ball based on the speed of the surface. Slow courts get faster moving light balls, and vice versa.

This is actually very well documented the ITF have posted everything from press releases to research papers - but commentators still seem to think that the composition of mud has changed significantly in the last 10 years!

Did you try master-branch? For whatever reason development-culture at spacemacs is very broken and most work happens in develop-branch which rarely is merged into master. I think at the moment they are around 1-2 years behind on master and only add critical patches AFAIK. For this reason most people use develop-branch and avoid master-branch.

I think the bigger problem with spacemacs is that they have a vision too big, and emacs just does not offer tools and culture to support it. So they are constantly working against the hill.

Ask HN: How to sustain yourself with an open source business model?
Hey! I'm currently working on a social platform for developers with tons of cool features (hopefully one day you'll see it on hn) and I'm hesitating on whether I should go opensource. It would really make sense with this tech platform and I'd love to build this product with many other people but, I also want to be able to sustain myself.

I don't find it fair if other people contribute to the project and then I get the profits.
How can I have an open source model that survives without profiting off other people's labour and that can sustain me?

Thanks for your help with this problem I am facing.

I didn't have a question, though perhaps not quite seeing where those advices are coming from (what are the threat model and underlying assumptions) can be stated as a question, as well as the definition of "better" here. For instance, phone number exposure and centralized systems (in case of Signal) or unreliable message delivery (in case of OMEMO implementations) seem rather bad to me, while properties such as deniable authentication seem to be useful in rather specific and rare cases (they still wouldn't harm if they were better supported though). It's also challenging to use OpenPGP, even with widespread email usage and the standards being around for a while, since people rarely care about encryption, and the most common case (AFAICT) is to send just plaintext emails with private/secret data. Given that, it seems counterproductive to advice not using it, but using systems with more obstacles instead. Do you view some of the properties they add as particularly useful in common cases, and/or as worthy trade-offs?

Go for it! If you already have OpenGL experience—doesn't matter what level—you "only" have to add a bit of basic 3D world math and input handling. I found SDL (http://libsdl.org) to be a very good core framework to build upon regarding input handling.

For the 3D world, start with a checkerboard pattern or so. In fact, this is almost exactly what I did to start Angeldust. I once showed off some early game prototypes on my stream, take a look at this one for example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMs8YpkSrg0&t=3289

If you keep watching that stream you'll see other in-progress versions so you can see how my product evolved.
That's the question, what works.

I assume access to computers and internet can have a big impact on democracies, so history may or may not be a good guide on what works and what not
I'm generally in agreement and want to anticipate an objection—that the sounds of foreign words often fall well outside of any given person's native set of sounds.

Take Iran for example. It's rendered often in English as [ɑɪ.ɹæn] (eye-ran). What it "should" be is [i.ɾɑn] (ee-rahn). Fortunately, all the sounds in [i.ɾɑn] are ones that occur in most varieties of English (with the exception of the [ɾ], but that's minor), so most speakers are able to accommodate without issue.

Now compare that to Shanghai: its English rendition is [ʃeɪŋ.hɑɪ], and its Mandarin pronunciation is [ʂâŋ.xài]. Most Englishes lack the voiceless retroflex fricative [ʂ], and the same for the voiceless velar fricative [x], and to make matters worse, Mandarin is tonal, which puts the correct pronunciation of this word squarely out of reach for almost all English speakers.

It still makes sense to insist that people try as hard as they reasonably can. Perhaps to say that speakers should get as close as possible—in the case of Shanghai, for example, maybe this would mean [ʃɑŋ.hɑɪ] instead of [ʃeɪŋ.hɑɪ].
Communication infrastructure is more of a "US did bad" scenario than an "other countries did good" one.

US policy people were tied down to various abstract philosophical/economic ideas (and their refutations) which made comms, especially cellular services generally more expensive than other places. Coarse theory and such.

It's partly cyclical. Following the antitrust actions (Bell etc), the US had a great Telecom market. In the 90s, compared to almost any other country, US telecom service was amazing. Most other countries were highly ideological about "key industries" like telecommunications and it resulted in a mess.

In the cellular/broadband age, the situation reversed. Turkey is more of the "norm." US is the outlier.
While millennia and centuries are numbered ordinally (e.g. the 18th century or 2nd millennium), in modern speech decades are not numbered ordinally, they're declared based upon the tens digit (e.g. 60s, 80s, or 90s), so your point is false.
> so your ssh connection would then hang ..

ProTip, the ssh manpage has a great section on "Escape Characters".

By default you can terminate an open ssh-session by typing:

"Enter", "~", then ".".

There are other options, such as adding/listing port-forwarding at run-time and backgrounding your open ssh connection too.
Agreed. But GP is correct in that you can't turn a C# async method into a sync call simply by awaiting it. Some good discussion on workarounds here [0]. That does seem "unfortunate" as it means async will grow through the codebase (the SO article refers to it as a "zombie virus"). If it's all code you're writing then you have options. But if you're using a 3rd party lib, and the author decided it should be async, then your code becomes transitively async too. Whether you want/need it or not.

That just doesn't seem like good language design. I totally get the need for concurrency, but the feature shouldn't have such an invasive impact on the code base. Go and Erlang manage to provide good concurrency support without the tax.

Short answer is no. Decorator is an OOP design pattern, ECS is an architectural pattern. In that sense it’s a more abstract concept. One could say decorator is an OOP form of it, but I think the data oriented design crowd would balk at doing so in a mainstream OOP language like Java or C#.
It's approximately same sound that's in "all": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_back_unrounded_vowel
It's not even a technicality, really. A decade is any span of ten years, and in modern English we refer to decades by their tens digit. If someone wanted to talk about the 202nd decade or something, then sure, that'd end next year, but instead we merely talk about the 60s, 90s, or whatever. Calendar shifts in the interim even make the "technical" approach a bit of a farce, though.

I mean, the point was probably to teach some complex analysis and topology along the way.

You could just x += 2*sgn(x) if z < 0, sacrificing the least significant bit of x in a way that doesn't require any bit hacks (so on restoration, z < 0 iff abs(x) >= 2, and the excess +/-2 is easy to remove from x since the real x <= 1).
The end justifies the means?

The problem is that 'everyone is the hero in their own story'. Everyone who spreads falsehoods in service to some cause is convinced that they are doing the right thing and are trying to "bring about a good thing".

> if you want to run Debian with Gnome

Considering the small minority of Linux installations on desktops and laptops (compared to servers and other network infrastructure), and the fact that only some of those will be using Gnome, I think this has been overemphasised. It's unfortunate that a minority has dictated policy for everyone else.

Having said that, I think Debian has made a rational decision. It would be unreasonable to expect package maintainers to provide multiple sets of init scripts due to the extra work. (FWIW I've used Debian for ~20 years and still use sysvinit).

It is meaningless to test with stubbed out resources IMO, the scaling code depends on 3rd party libraries and infrastructure, so how would you test it if you have scarce resources that can only be used in production?
Tennis balls are fluorescent; UV light gets reflected back as a set wavelength. This means they'll be brighter than a non-fluorescent yellow/green and thus easier to see. The amount of UV light (time of day, natural vs artificial light, overall light levels) will push the subjective colour between green and yellow.

This becomes a minor consideration when doing tennis court lighting upgrades, as Metal Halide lamps emit UV whilst new LED ones don't. Since tracking of the ball is primarily based on strong and consistent contrast against the background, having a UV light component that only lights the tennis ball is a major boon.

Tennis can be played under blacklight with relatively weak lights:

Completely agree. I also don’t see the need to egress to the public internet to access AWS services.

It’s also worth noting that whilst I’m a HUGE believer in VPC endpoints, it comes with a cost. Which then makes it a security vs cost trade off. As you’ll still pay bandwidth charges on the network interfaces (ENIs) for the VPCEs, along with the hourly price for said ENIs.

If Amazon changed this, I’d happily change all my networking to use VPCEs for all AWS services (where applicable). Unfortunately it seems they’re not going to do this, despite continuously adding new services to the list of VPCE-enabled services.

There's no Windows installer but it's pure Go so building on Windows or cross compiling for Windows is easy. Besides Windows I also want to support iOS and Android (I have a very rough working react native frontend right now).

They are related in the sense that encryption and signing algorithms use the same cryptographic operations. But the algorithms themselves are different, so having knowledge or faith in a certain encryption algorithm does not mean you have either in a related signing algorithm. They are separate domains.

Sorry, I left out some bits of the game state for conciseness - perhaps this is a better way of displaying it

.--- a---
.2-- bX--
.22- as cYZ-

Where:

. means unknown

- means clear (and in a real game would reveal a number and therefore a constraint, but we don't need to consider those numbers for this solution)

a number means clear and producing a constraint that we want to use

This mirrors the game state in the article, and would allow us to assert that abc contains exactly 2 mines, while still only having to consider a 4x4 section of the board.

The SU had a program of requiring world-class mathematicians (Kolmogorov, Arnold, Gelfand), physicists, etc. to teach one year in high school, and to think about the curriculum, and possibly write textbooks. Some of these were available in English via MIR publishers. Some of these books are unique moments in the history of mankind. The science education in SU trickled down throughout eastern europe. Indirectly this school of thought has been responsible for some of the best science and engineering in the world, sadly, mostly outside of the place that originated it.
