People fighting in this thread; I pulled out the actual questionnaires [1]. The Netherlands does not have it in English, but Denmark does Or Czech Republic. Both have question/answers that are roughly:

Q. Did s/he work in last 4 weeks in his/her main job at home? [I believe over a 4-week period]

1. No

2. Less than half of worked days

3. At least half of worked days

I am assuming the sum of Answers 2 and 3 was 14%. Norway has only two options: "regularly", and "from time to time". Don't know if that changes your viewpoint?

Crazy. I paid $25CAD for cheap Chinese-brand behind-the-ears headset (Suicen AX-698) and dropouts are very rare for me. Happens occasionally - usually when I'm on the road and a truck goes by - I assume some of those have very chatty RF devices. But still, generally very rare. When I'm at the gym working out they never cut for me.

Frustrating reality of modern purchasing - buying the "expensive" one often gives you something not substantially better than the cheap Chinese junk.
On the flip side. Sometimes you're just not that good at stuff despite your best efforts.

In college I really struggled with math. Which was a challenge because computer science has you take a lot of math classes. In my calculus class I studied so hard for the final. Did every problem in the book. And I still just got a B in the class.

At the same time my programming classes were really easy. I didn't study at all and the homework was trivial.

Based on my interviewing history I'm not in the 95th percentile of programmers - I'm routinely outright rejected and don't even land the on-site interview. And this is basically my best skill for which I've invested an enormous amount of time and energy.

The movie Amadeus really nails this idea. Salieri has one goal in life: to create beautiful music. And he achieved some success, but then he meets Mozart - "
a boastful, lustful, smutty infantile boy..." - yet he creates the most amazing music he's ever heard.

> All I wanted was to sing to God. He gave me that longing... and then made me mute. Why? Tell me that. If He didn't want me to praise him with music, why implant the desire? Like a lust in my body! And then deny me the talent?

I've experienced that frustration many times in my life.

Salieri is a tragic figure though - his response is one of contempt and hostility to the injustice of his life. But he's missed the point. All success and talent in life is a gift.

Maybe your frustrations in life are an opportunity to teach you humility and to be gracious to others.

I upgraded from a 2013 iMac to a 2019 model recently for two reasons, the primary being my 2013 used an Nvidia 780m chipset and Nvidia no longer made compatible drivers and Apple wasn't doing any real updates either. Second I wanted he higher resolution screen.

However, the fan which I rarely had come on in the 2013 is hyper active at times in the 2019 even with similar content. Oddly it is not consistent. Now I did go from i5 to i9 which do run hotter but they are very spiky as in the seem to flare a core or two enough to excite the fan logic.

The GPU while getting warm (Vega 48) will less likely cause the fans to spin up past 2k than a random cpu spike. So either the fan logic is wonky or the processor logic is. While I understand that core balancing is complex it just seems to randomly jump single channels far more often than load across the whole

There were actually complaints about the the dangers have maglev magnetic radiation or something like that. I don’t think they were valid, but even China has to cave into public pressure sometimes. Also, it was just too expensive to build more, so I think they decided to make it a dead end.

I took it once (back in 2006) just to experience it. It is fast, just not when compared to the whole trip being made by a taxi.
No it doesn't. Surfing had it's boom and bust and now is a normal sport/hobby like skiing or everything else.

In the future one could also argue: tech industry contradicts basic capitalism: nowadays anybody has a smartphone, the phones cannot get any better, and everyone takes care of their smartphone because they don't want to pay alot money for a new one.

Yes, they're using sarcasm to ridicule their parent comment's claim that someone hired to just unhook a toilet should legally NEED to be a licensed plumber, by comparing it to similarly low-skill tasks "needing" to be highly trained in case something goes wrong.
Maybe not! The mold in the first picture is made by Kaupert, a company specializing in chocolate molds. Of course they might mean that Kaupert made the base mold and Morphotonix added the holograph ...

Either way I see a lot of value in this technology, even if it's just for novelty and a piece of that chocolate would cost 100€, I think there's still a significant market in the luxury segment.

Full disclosure: I'm very locked in the Apple ecosystem. They do play amazingly well with one another, but I feel like that's not at all their main selling point.

You can appreciate the longevity and continued support of an iPhone without having an Apple Watch. You can appreciate a MacBook for its OS (pre Catalina anyway) and build quality (I'm still running a 2014 model -- though I have read about recent models' issues) without having an iPhone to pair it with. To be fair, you cannot appreciate an Apple Watch without an iPhone at all since it won't do anything, and I'm no the fence about AirPods and how well they do outside the Apple world.

My point is, once you're in the ecosystem, you notice a lot of little things that may make your life easier. Are they great? Yeah absolutely. Are they what sells the product? In my opinion, not at all. Unless it happens to pinpoint your exact use case (I need to lock and unlock my MacBook 30 times a day and I'm tired of having to enter a password, I want my Apple Watch to unlock it), it's the product itself that will most likely convince you. The way they neatly play together at times is just the cherry on top, like when you notice your computer and phone now share a clipboard. That's awesome, but not a single selling point for anyone.

Now, I will be the first one to say: iTunes sucks. So, if you do buy an iPhone, it makes sense IMO to shed out the extra 99ct a month for iCloud storage.

I saw something like that first one too!
> A noise gate does not remove hiss or static, it simply reduces the volume of the signal when it gets below a certain level.

But the end result is with a configured noise gate the audio coming out will not appear to have as much hiss or room noise.

Check out the Youtube video I linked of his. It's super noticeable. With Sony MDR-V6 headphones, I hear a huge amount of hiss in his audio. To the point where it's distracting and drowns out his voice.

I'm not trying to pick on you or him, but if I go to your most recent Youtube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lf6dwipRYg, you can very much hear the same type of hiss within the first few seconds. I can't say for what what it is, but it sounds like your computer fan is spinning at 50% and it very much comes through. At about the 16:22 mark in the video, your fans appear to be spinning at 100% because it's much louder than before you started coding. It sounds like your computer is about to launch into space.

It looks like you have the same mic too.

I'm not saying the mic is bad, it's a really good mic. I just think the OP should have talked more about one of the biggest things that will kill a recording, especially when talking about "professional podcasting" and recommending high end gear.

For comparison, here's something I recorded with the AT2005 + DBX 286s acting as a noise gate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xd84hlIjkI

There's no software processing here either and my room is not treated with acoustic panels. In fact, my office is almost a worst case scenario. It's a wide open empty room with hardwood floors, angled ceilings and almost no furniture or rugs. I have super loud computer fans too and I'm right next to a window.

Even at maximum volume (unrealistically loud) there's pretty much no hiss or room noise. At least nothing I can hear with the same Sony MDR-V6 headphones.

I'm sure I could get similar results with the Shure mic too (using the DBX), but I'm happy with the AT2005. If I ever upgrade mics in the future it would be to a shotgun mic so it's out of frame.
I've found that listening to stovetop food sizzle will usually tell you what's going on. I imagine I'm generally hearing the amount of water left in the food?

But curious about any other approaches to "No look" you have!
Agreed, although being able to use JavaScript already allows for more developer friendly approach than the bare bones C API.

Khronos doesn't seem interested into making Vulkan developer friendly, like Apple, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo do with their APIs.

So it is either "build your own engine while searching for math, image loading, fonts and mesh libraries" or getting something like Unity/Unreal/Godot, which then again turns Vulkan into just yet another API to choose from thanks to being API agnostic.

The fact that WebGPU is being driven by browser engines, without Khronos contribution, is quite telling.
This is great advice that is translatable to a lot of skills. For one, this is perfectly applicable to playing musical instrument/being a musician.

Ask HN: What's the metagame of job hopping and raises
For myself - and a great many people I know - switching jobs has led, on average, to 40-50% pay raises. Performing well and getting promoted at a given company one rarely exceeds a low-single-digit adjustment.

Why does this phenomenon happen so consistently, across such a wide variety of organizations from tech startups, to non-profits, to massive corporations, etc.

Can someone describe the dynamics at the macro level that keep this as the steady state (would it even be considered a Nash Equilibrium)?

Well, would be a wonder if they would still be using 2017s i7, wouldn't it? So, accepting natural or following common improvements should be nothing to brag about.

First of, really cool article. I love fun hacks like this.

There's a few things I don't get. The first one is why he's using the same global scalar values for gain and offset for the entire image, instead of pixel-wise values. The pattern isn't uniform, so why is the correction?

The second is why the optimization is just randomizing new values instead of using a better algorithm like gradient decent. This kind of stochastic search seems really wasteful.

The third is why it needs to be an optimization problem at all, why not just look at the blob image? Each pixel is supposed to be white, but we see (R_max, G_max, B_max), where both G_max and B_max is < R_max, making the pixel red. So just remap the green and blue channel for each pixel to [0, R_max] instead. Then each pixel will have the same gray value of (R_max, R_max, R_max) when displaying white. This should be really straight forward in a shader.
You can already have that right now. It's called leasing. After a few years you give the car back and get a new one.
There is so little churn between angular versions. Angular 1-2 was a big change and they should have renamed the framework. But you have to understand how angular 1 came into existence. It wasn’t planned to be used by everyone, it was just solving some problems experienced by a couple devs and it spread like wild fire.

The team that eventually took it over and grew around it recognized it had some problems scaling and being used for large applications. They knew they couldn’t just change angular 1 to be what it needs to be, so they made a big switch. They put in patterns that benefit large apps, typescript, observables, the choice of two way binding or one way binding, better DI system.

Everyone says react isn’t opinionated, and for developing an enterprise app that just sounds like a nightmare.

I am pretty sure it is. Stealing something that someone legally bought from you back again because you made a mistake when calculating the sales price is blatantly illegal, regardless of whether the "stealing process" includes breaking up the car door and ripping out seats or unchecking some checkbox in a remote management software.

The latter is much easier, but not an iota less illegal from the viewpoint of the law.
I have a MBP 16 with a Philips 48.8” 5120x1440 monitor, running with the lid closed. I have the extra 8GB on the GPU. The only time I’ve noticed fan noise was when I was running Minecraft with Optifine and a very aggressive shader pack. At first I thought the hissing sound was from rain in the game. Apart from that I haven’t really heard anything.

I was also digging around and as OP mentioned found it interesting topic.
I'm surprised that they removed it because it's on the monroney sticker.

I bought a BMW that was supposed to get the new/shorter 36 month maintenance included. But the sticker was still referencing the 48 month plan. I didn't even notice.

BMW must have ran an audit, and know what they did? They honored the sticker and said something like "Your monro sticker was wrong and said you get 48 months maintenance, so you get 48 months maintenance"

I think this just goes back to how they are inexperienced and not a real dealer. I'd expect they'd lose any court battle surrounding it. It's the whole point of the sticker.

What I'm curious about is what this industry thinks makes it unique with respect to practically every other industry with respect to interviewing. Almost every other field actually calls on references and relies on reputation to determine past work performance.

Also, I've conducted a number of interviews in my career and have been responsible for a number of hires and I've never needed to rely on a take home project to access a candidates worthiness of the position. Maybe it's because I was interviewing/hiring for positions which I was intimately familiar of the required tasks and I knew the right questions to ask.
Could be the codec they are using. AptX LL is the best for latency as far as I know, but not all headphones support it, and you have to go into developer options to change it.

The Denon system might be using LDAC which is higher quality, but sacrificing latency.
The article touches on the answer, briefly, about halfway down: The Surf Industry isn't about Surfing.

Most of the things that the big Surf brands make are not useful for the actual act of Surfing. Even boardshorts from the major boardshort companies, about half their range can't be worn surfing. They're made from non-stretch fabric and intended to be worn around on the street.

Google up a "surf shop" in a big coastal town, pick the biggest, most obvious one, and chances are you wouldn't be able to equip yourself to go surfing with the things you can buy there. It'll be wall to wall boardshorts and hoodies, with a hundred pairs of sunglasses along the wall and maybe half a dozen shiny new boards stood up in a corner for decorative purposes. Observe the looks the staff will give each other if you try to ring one of those up.

If you want to go surfing, you need to find the little hole-in-the wall shop off the beach a ways, which will be stuffed full of wetsuits and boards, to the point where you can hardly walk around without knocking half the store down. They'll also have a few hundred pairs of boardshorts there, but surprisingly these ones will all have stretchy fabric and crotches that don't tear apart if you sink to your knees.

The Big Surf Brands know that most of their business comes from selling sunglasses and flip flops to people who want to look like surfers. And they're doing fine.
Yes, and most of that thread is posts full of noise and faulty suggestions that add nothing to the discussion but serve to dilute the original post and the few posts with relevant information. Which is why I seldom bother with discussions.apple.com. It's a cesspit.
I learned this at a young age. Leaving my small community where I was the smartest, most educated person I knew. I went to college where there were easily 1/3 of the class doing as well or better.

I came to understand we all stand on a spectrum. For everybody there's someone better, and someone not as good. So what? Do what you can with the skills you have, and you're doing more than 99% of the people who squander what they have.
How so? Progressive JPEGs load in multiple passes. The first pass trades fidelity for speed, successive passes add quality over time. Seems pretty much in line with what PWA is all about.

Okay, the point about free charging is fair, I didn't know that. But as far as I understand Tesla Superchargers are so superior to conventional charging in terms of speed that not having them available is a huge drawback to a Tesla owner. Maybe I'm wrong on this as well.

>Somebody could buy a Tesla charger circuit, install it to another car, and get free charging for life. The same happened with 3G enabled Kindles.

That sounds like the way it's supposed to be. It's how cars have been handled for decades and the tinkering and experimenting I'm sure lead a whole lot of people to find fulfilling interests, hobbies, maybe even carreers. It's funny, on the one hand companies seem to have no interest in funding the education of their employees anymore but on the other they also want to completely control access to their tech and how it's used.

EDIT: Made the same mistake again. Of course I don't advocate for people just mooching off of Tesla's superchargers, but the ability to be able to do with my property as I please.

> Toss the cast iron

Blasphemy! (As someone raised in the southern US)

In all seriousness, the biggest difference I've found in properly keeping up cast iron is using the right cleaning method.

Water. Or just a bit of highly-diluted dish soap.

I know there's ways to do proper coating (oven clean, etc), but most of the time I just hot fire mine on a gas burner with some oil. Works fine.

Also, there's no way in hell I'd cook cast iron on an electric top. (though I don't have experience with induction)

And finally... cook things with more fat. Bacon in the pan frequently goes a long way towards making it happy.

Also I personally know people whose lives have been completely changed after believing in Jesus. For example my uncle who used to be part of Hell's Angels. One day he decided to believe in Jesus, and now he runs a drug rehab, is a deacon at his church, and runs missionary trips to preach the Gospel to drug lords in Columbia. Or take my own parents, normal college kids from middle upper class non believing households. My dad chose to follow Jesus while in the Navy, and then he and my mom devoted the rest of their lives to missionary work. Or my wife's mother who grew up living with people doing drugs and living promiscuously, and generally not going anywhere. She and her siblings chose to follow Jesus, left their situation, founded a church, all attended college and some gained advanced degrees and PhDs, and my mother-in-law ran a lab at John Hopkins. My perception is Christianity can certainly change lives for the better, in dramatic ways.

I personally think it's a huge upgrade from the butterfly keyboard. I've got a 16" I just upgraded to at home, and an older 15" I was issued at work.

The higher key travel and further spacing apart from each individual key means I can actually differentiate between keys by feel, unlike with the older butterfly keys that all kind of blend together. The travel makes a huge difference in feel as well, as they're much less clicky.

If you're ever near a store carrying the newer model and an older butterfly model I suggest you try it out yourself.
