It's scary to read the number of people responding to you with "actually, the solution IS to silence everyone who disagrees with me, we should do that as quickly as possible."

Especially the number of them who don't even seem to have read past your first sentence.
I agree with this analysis.

USB4 is more of a Thunderbolt 4. Not only can it tunnel USB natively, it seems likely to be supporting a newer higher speed higher than TB3's 40gbps (but if it don't, I'm still happy with 40).
Why do you stay if you are compromising your values on a daily basis?
> The "persistent myth" is that signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range are somehow identical. They aren't.

Obviously :)

The SNR will stay at around ~96 dB for 16 bit audio. If that noise were white, then that would naturally limit the dynamic range to essentially the same number. But no one said that the quantization noise of the channel has to be white, indeed, the whole point of dithering and noise shaping is to de-correlate the quantization error from the signal and make the noise spectrum anything but white. Hence the dynamic range can be increased.

> It's not a "persistent myth" - it's absolutely correct.

No. The SNR is 96 dB; the dynamic range for the relevant frequency band is greater.

I'm happy about it, but if you're able to use Open Sound Control, it's better. Rather than gibberish channel numbers, OSC lets you label your messages meaningfully, as in "/trumpet/volume 100". And it lets you send lots of data types -- numbers, strings, lists -- rather than only numbers.

That's an important clarification, and I would add: it's easier to trust when you can verify.

That is to say, the website is https, so I trust that the server I'm asking for the file is the same one that gives it to me. And since I can verify signatures locally, any time I choose, it would be hard for that server to get away with modifying file contents only when served through the site, sooner or later someone would catch them out at it.

But yes, if it's important, definitely get the files from a native client, CLI or GUI shouldn't matter.
This is just my personal philosophy:

If an item for sale could be counterfeited and sold to me at full price (or 5% of the real item's price), and I would never know the difference, I probably have no business buying the brand value of it.

If something's value can fluctuate so wildly, and even end up in a trash bin because it can't sell, I'm probably not going to believe that it's something worth me buying.

Maybe I never get to enjoy those luxury watches or backpacks that everyone's wearing (whose point only seems to be the white name patch in the corner), but equally, I never get pulled into buying something that I regret and wonder if it was worth it (or genuine) later.
The same kind of system could be implemented with a distributed or federated EMR.

The data would still be stored with the practitioner where it originated but it could be shared with third parties (i.e. other practitioners) if the patient consents.

I really don't see how using the patient as messenger for medical data on paper could be seen as a privacy feature. Quite to the contrary, actually: Paper documents are easily misplaced or lost and then suddenly someone has access to your medical data.
I'm all for giving overpaid CEOs a couple of days or weeks of community service. The problem with only giving fines, is that those fines are usually a lot smaller than the actual money and profits involved, and it's not really punishment for the people who commited the crime, just cost of business for the company they work for. Unless executive start getting held accountable for the crimes their company commits on their watch, they'll just continue doing this.
Right, makes sense, wanted to point out the service will also be usable on GCP as well as you can leverage any cloud host. You could buy a VPS from GCP compute, connect it and deploy apps like you are using Heroku.
Insurance is a net negative for anybody paying for regular, routine care. Insurance and the massive rats nest of middle men and perverse incentives it creates is why a physical, stitches and every other boring service provided thousands of times per day costs hundreds of dollars.
Keybase claims to be a modern replacement for PGP yet I don't think they even have some SDK that acts like gpgme. This is a very rudimentary feature to implement but it can unleash a whole new world for applications that use signatures and E2EE.

Keybase is a good idea and they got lucky with getting popular but they haven't really implemented features that would make them essential. Most people just sign up and forget about it.

EDIT: Seriously why the downvotes without clarifying? Has Keybase adopted astroturfing on HN like Brave and DuckDuckGo?

Even Lightroom arguably hasn't achieved the technical abilities of Aperture...it's slow.

Plus now there's a fork of Lightroom "classic" and a weird cloud-only version, and also Adobe's subscription pricing. There are a few other apps that have added digital asset management, but overall, there's really nothing that has taken its place.
You're making the classic mistake of not trying to improve anything because it's difficult and there are tons of edge cases.

Clearly the system as it stands now is terrible and needs to be fixed. Start fixing it now, and worry about the edge cases later. A 10% improvement is better than no improvement.
Nice topic for the example ;)

They're building out plenty of applications themselves. That's the right approach. PGP didn't unleash a whole new world for applications because it didn't attack usability, which isn't something you do with an API.
Whatever provider of 5G hardware the UK picked - it was always going to be open to foreign power abuse.

What they have done is take all three offerings and limit what percentage of the market they can have - effectively having the country 5G networks provided by a three supplies all having an equal amount of kit in the field.

They are also taking the approach of presuming it is potential bad-actor and proactively planning around that.

So a bit like putting an IDS/Firewall in place before you realise you need one, you could say.

Is it ideal - nope, but the lack of local offering make that impossible anyhow. So plan for the worst and hope for the best, is not a bad plan of action in this instance.

The inventory is usually in retail locations when sold. I can't remember seeing anything in a luxury brand showroom (typically very limited catalogue also) that wasn't in stock. Buyers in this segment don't want to order and wait for it. This makes it difficult to do just-in-time production. Some is artisan produced (luxury watches being one).

CivicGraph is a versioned-graph data store - it retains all changes that its data (vertices and edges) have gone through to reach their current state. It supports point-in-time graph traversals, letting the user query any past state of the graph just as easily as the present.

It is a Foxx Microservice for ArangoDB that features VCS-like semantics in many parts of its interface, and is backed by a transactional event tracker. It is currently being developed and tested on ArangoDB v3.5, with support for v3.6 in the pipeline.

CivicGraph is a potential fit for scenarios where data is best represented as a network of vertices and edges (i.e., a graph) having the following characteristics:

1. Both vertices and edges can hold properties in the form of attribute/value pairs (equivalent to JSON objects).
2. Documents (vertices/edges) mutate within their lifespan (both in their individual attributes/values and in their relations with each other).
3. Past states of documents are as important as their present, necessitating retention and queryability of their change history.

Its API is split into 3 top-level categories:

### Document
Create - Create single/multiple documents (vertices/edges).
Replace - Replace entire single/multiple documents with new content.
Delete - Delete single/multiple documents.
Update - Add/Update specific fields in single/multiple documents.
(Planned) Explicit Commits - Commit a document's changes separately, after it has been written to DB via other means (AQL / Core REST API / Client).
(Planned) CQRS/ES Operation Mode - Async implicit commits.

### Event
Log - Fetch a log of events (commits) for a given path pattern (path determines scope of documents to pick). The log can be optionally grouped/sorted/sliced within a specified time interval.
Diff - Fetch a list of forward or reverse commands (diffs) between commits for specified documents.
(Planned) Branch/Tag - Create parallel versions of history, branching off from a specific event point of the main timeline. Also, tag specific points in branch+time for convenient future reference.
(Planned) Materialization - Point-in-time checkouts.

### History
Show - Fetch a set of documents, optionally grouped/sorted/sliced, that match a given path pattern, at a given point in time.
Filter - In addition to a path pattern like in 'Show', apply an expression-based, simple/compound post-filter on the retrieved documents.
Traverse - A point-in-time traversal (walk) of a past version of the graph, with the option to apply additional post-filters to the result.

I hope some of you may find this a useful service to address several types of data modelling challenges pertaining to retention and querying of historical graph data.
No, and I don't expect MIDI 2.0 to help. It was just response to the idea that single parameter would be enough but 7 bits wouldn't.
Why it shouldn't? The purpose is to attract and exterminate locusts when it becomes the only field in vicinity with intact crops.

Sure it will be costly, but we're talking about decades old technology and cheap materials.

It makes it sound like every drink you have ages your brain by a week and that's not actually what the study says. What it really says is if you have one drink a day for an entire year, it ages the brain 11 days.

Sounds interesting. I'd checkout Dokku[0] and Flynn[1] if I were you and see what you could offer differently. I use a single Dokku instance on 5 dollar droplet that hosts all my side projects ect under my domain. I then would extract one out if it ever got meaningful traffic. Another thing to consider is that it seems like the industry as a whole is moving passed the application level abstraction and onto the function level, eg "serverless". Maybe you could jump on that angle somehow.

Setting aside your own time for learning and your own agenda is so crucial. The sad reality is that most orgs which run on a ticket/sprint process will make room for nothing outside of tickets.

Looking back at my previous gig, the biggest mistake we consistently made (but were somehow impotent to correct), was assuming that all of the “we should”’s which came out of post-mortems or brainstorming sessions would somehow get done. In reality, if it doesn’t become a ticket, it won’t get done.

Here’s the rub: in many orgs, there is simply too much resistance to getting engineering-centric tickets injected into a product-owned ticket pipeline. They are either outright rejected, or deprioritized to the point of being a “soft no”.

If you are in this situation, my advice is to take a risk and simply stop asking for permission to do the self-development and engineering-centric tasks which you think are important. Set aside regular time for yourself (without asking for it), track your own private backlog, and just do it.

This was the biggest change in my ability to deliver impact: realizing that I wouldn’t be given permission to get these things accomplished, and would have to bear the risk myself and just do it.

Worst-case scenario, this won’t be tolerated and you’ll be fired. Good.
I think you have a vast disconnect between the reality of advertising today vs. the quaint mid-20th century mental model that you seem to hold. Or you're being entirely disingenuous about what people complaining about "advertising" mean.

If modern advertising 1) did not vacuum up personal data in extremely invasive ways, 2) didn't distort the entire business models of the largest tech companies against the interests of the overwhelming majority of their users, and 3) wasn't a broad attack vector on that same user population (dark patterns, outright malware delivery, just plain terrible UX everywhere, etc.)... then there'd probably be very little complaint about advertising, relatively speaking.

Put another way: no one gripes about the existence of Craigslist. Thought experiment: what if the targeted advertising model was illegal, both enforceable and enforced with teeth. How much of what's detrimental about modern advertising would simply vanish, like a bad memory?
Thank you, @mattwad :)
On the contrary, Keybase has the advantage of linking keys to social accounts. If Keybase have client libraries that use signing/verifying, encryption/decryption programmatically outside their bloated CLI that would be a great tool for authentication/authorization that can replace oAuth2/SSO for example. This itself can be a sufficient business plan for enterprise customers and I am not sure why they have not done it after all these years.

Obviously they want to lock users inside their tool for business reasons.

This article is confusing. I think what they are reporting is, if you have a drink everyday for a year it will age your brain at the rate of 7 days per gram of daily alcohol. They forgot to mention the "every day for a year" in the stat.

"The team found that for every gram of alcohol consumed a day, the brain aged 0.02 years — or, seven-and-a-half days. (The average can of beer or small glass of wine contains 14 grams of alcohol). People who reported drinking every day had brains which were, on average, 0.4 years older than people who didn't drink daily.

Smoking had even stronger effect: the team found that those who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day for a year age their brains by 0.03 years (11 days)."
I must have missed all those stories of people saving for decades to leave fortunes behind.

Taking financial guidance as a middle class wage earner from a trust fund baby is probably also a bad idea.
It's quite late here and the Huawei charging "standard" has really thrown me, but:

* Pixel - 9V/2A or 5V/3A by the looks of it. A decent USB C charger will do this

* Nintendo Switch - just don't use anything other than the Switch charger or a power bank for this. It's 15V/3A, but finicky.

* Macbook Pro - not familiar with this, didn't realise they went USB C all the way back in 2015, but it probably needs 60W+ and an e-marked cable.

* Huawei phone - if you give me the model number I can probably work this out. It's very hard to work out what that charging spec is, but it may also work with Qualcomm QuickCharge, which apparently makes the USB-IF very sad when delivered over the Type C cable.

I use a charger similar to https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/mbeat-gorillapower-80w-5-port-u..., and I also highly recommend something like https://satechi.net/products/satechi-type-c-power-meter-for-....
