Ah, ok, I see!

My point was more that I don’t see a problem with spending a lot of money on better tools, while yours seems to be that people are spending more as a status symbol, when substantially cheaper options exist of the same (or very similar) quality. So we weren’t really commenting in the same thing, sorry about that :)
Yes! That's the right queue-within-a-playlist feature with numbers next to the playlist entries that I'm looking for. Even has a queue dialog window.

And there's an Android app that works as a remote, and it can http stream, nice.

Thanks! So long (for now) mpd..

For this article, it is less about invention in the academic "I got there first" sense, but when the concept became mature enough to deliver a generally usable product.
What you say is reasonable. However, in order to prove that, someone would have to analyze the code. SV companies are not exactly the best examples of complying with the law; one of the biggest of them had programmers actively adding code that was designed to confuse municipal officials trying to regulate it, and I'm not sure today's Google is very different. (I want to believe it is.)

I organized the Borland developer conference in my country as a marketing intern in 2004 and it was still quite popular, but it's true the web was just around the corner to eat desktop apps.

I also remember a coworker had been approached by MS to work on the DotNet marketing campaign and he declined, as it was seen as kind of a failure with a very uncertain future. Hindsight is 20/20.

edit: personally I have found memories of Delphi3.
You’ve got my upvote. Good communication and coordination takes up a lot of time. And the more people who need to remain in communication and coordinated, the more time it takes.

Or, it’s why you have a northbridge on your motherboard, and don’t expect the CPU to handle everything by itself.
Hey folks! We've built a way to trustlessly tokenize Bitcoin on Ethereum, allowing Bitcoiners to take out decentralized USD loans against their holdings, use the stronger privacy approaches available on Ethereum like tornado.cash,and generally being Bitcoin into the Ethereum ecosystem.

I'd love to hear what you think and answer any questions!

As someone who lead a lot of the talks hinted at in the blog post: it translates to where it counts.

I also see your devaluing of effective use of marketing and some peoples background on the internet. Memes like "InternetOfShit" wouldn't have happened if hardware builders would appreciate the skill sets of web engineers (e.g. running applications that are constantly under automatic attack).

Ada is still on the table though. In most places we spoke to that evaluated Rust as the next language, the other language on the table was Ada.
Is it correct to say that SwiftUI seems to be inspired by or similar to React architecture?

Kind of. Fastai abstracts a lot more of Pytorch then what keras does to TF.

User agents already can ignore css and have user defined stylesheets and even JavaScript. None if this is new and it's a failure of our profession that that is abnormal and produces spectacularly poor results for users.
I agree. Random data makes the tests less specific, so I'd wager the authors would probably also argue against it.

Assuming you trust your unit tests, you can claim a passing test suite means:
(1) given current understanding, the code is most likely correct and
(2) based on the same assumption, other developers agree that the code is most likely correct, for the current version of the program

I personally believe randomness has a place (fuzzing), but should stay semantically distinct from unit testing for the above reasons.
It doesn't have to be a spoken live on TV or written out on twitter for it to be true, accurate, verbatim quote. You're right, "direct" is not the correct word in such a case though. But there's nothing wrong with using sources for reporting, the quality of the reporting simply depends on the quality of the sources. And this one quote is not the only evidence of the President's involvement. There is the other source I cited, as well as plenty of other examples of President Trump expressing displeasure with Amazon for other reasons.

I get that, and everyone in this thread knows that, but the issue is that alot of devices come with it and it is branded as "stable"
Windows and Linux have a better excuse they have to support thousands upon thousands of devices and configurations but for apple to have this many issues with the hand full of pre built systems they have, well, it should be perfectly understandable to ask why a company with this much time and money would release something in this state especially when they had a beta.
For most of us it's not a big deal but plenty of people have to start writing their app and testing on this and for them it's pretty confusing and you have to ask yourself how it got this way when there shouldn't have been any reason for it to.

OK but I've used vb6, vb.net, Delphi (and Lazarus) and they are all pretty much identical in terms of dropping in controls onto a form, writing event handler code and setting properties. So to claim that delphi's vcl is clearly the inspiration for this in .net is a bit of a stretch.
I love LMMS cause it's like FL Studio. I used to use FL Studio (pirated when I was a teenager) to make rap beats and even once a dubstep beat, though it crashed and I lost all my progress.... LMMS is awesome cause it's free so I can just experiment with it. I havent found the time to make some serious tracks though.

Also where do you get audio samples for LMMS? This is mostly my dilemma.
Yes, I see I misunderstood the comment a little bit. I completely agree. Sometimes people spend more money on things simply so they don’t feel cheap, even if the end experience is otherwise exactly the same.
Yeah, those are really cool but I'm not sticking that unremovable 3M monstrosity to my 1000 dollar phone or my 60 dollar (overpriced AF I know) case...
In my experience, making reviews easier to give causes the review quality and usefulness to go down. This happened when Netflix went from 5 stars to a simple like/dislike. I’m not sure why Amazon didn’t just block non-verified-purchaser reviews, increasing spammer costs significantly.

I suspect that Amazon reviews are going to be even less useful now. Especially given things like this:

> Amazon does not provide many specifics about how a product’s overall star rating is calculated, other than stating that it is not a simple average but instead uses “machine-learned models” that take into account factors such as how recent the rating or review is and whether it was a verified purchase or not.
There's still tons of love for Ada at all the places where we spoke to.

Rust, Swift, Nim, Zig and other languages are the driver of a current resurgence of debates around the embedded toolstack, though, which Rust leading the pack by having the most upfront "we want to talk" messaging.

This article largely espouses the bs that wealth reflects hard work. The corollary is that the poor are just lazy. While the author throws in a few scientific studies, do not be fooled by the veneer of rigor.

Is hard work the primary determinant of success? Maybe. But this article offers no real support for that position.

Every single Mac OS X/OS X/macOS release has had glaring issues, but the difference is that some of the releases have been relatively better and some of them worse. Catalina, combined with the user experience of someone who upgrades to Catalina, probably comes close to the original release of 10.0 or worse. Apple isn’t paying attention to software engineering on the Mac, and the constant push to “iOSify” the Mac is a big drag. It seems like the “Wild West” and “cowboy coding” and what other metaphors you can use to describe why Catalina and its apps are so bad.
In the case of Latin, the word for fox is vulpus, which is a direct evolution of the indo-european root. In this case, the problem is less of a taboo word than of an appropriation of the sense to a different animal.
You're confusing internal/external and USB.

USB devices _do_ incur extra latency. The USB apollos do suffer from this. The firewire and thunderbolt do not.

Whether a devices is internal or external is irrelevant. There are "Internal" devices that are PCI based which have excellent performance, and external devices that are Thunderbolt based with equal (and better!) performance characteristics.

I believe you're talking about onboard sound, not "internal", in which case you're correct. However, that's not what the link is talking about.
Anyone else still sad over the demise of FrontPage Express? It did everything I needed at the time, it was free, and really easy to use. The HTML wasn't as bad as FrontPage either.
Probably expensive, but I doubt it's actually worth anything. I reckon it's much harder to build a brand when you start with a generic word.
Yes and Einstein was famously a socialist and egalitarian.

The ability to create new knowledge would seem to require thinking beyond the status quo, not maximally optimizing one’s place within it.
Is it just me or it should be the other way around - set it to "false" so confirmation is not required?
I agree, mostly, but understanding "the exact nature" of a logic (or at least a properly-defined subset of it) is pretty important for using it effectively.
Mostly fine for me. Every major update has some bugs and issues, but I haven't found it to be substantially worse than any of the others over the many years I've been using OS X.

No harm in it either though.

Unless for some reason someone imports one into their authorized_keys (which presumably would require deliberate steps not random numbskullary) in which case there is a (low) risk as they have just given a dev access to an account said dev does not know exists.
I agree is unfair. The point of my benchmark was that the OP's claim "quad sort is faster than quicksort" is false.

They've learned plenty from the United States, but they haven't learned that in order to succeed, others must fail. They should be trying harder to make these businesses succeed hard or fail. After all, life isn't about living - it's about how much we can accumulate at the cost of others.

They should also learn the Unites Statesian way of "going out of business" for the purpose of selling the old company's assets to a newly create company for pennies on the dollar while defaulting on debt and loans. Heck - many Hollywood companies do this from one film to the next!

Gah! These Japanese people are amateurs!
> “For brands, this means the black-hat review clubs and sellers will have less impact, as fake reviews as a percentage of legit reviews should decrease.”

Well, at least they're thinking happy thoughts.

Amazon is competing against the fake reviews with their own Vine club.

I've checked dozens of their verified & official "testers", and their five-star-rate averaged somewhere north of 98% which makes their reviews just as useless as the cheap auto-translated fakes to me.
> The new one-tap feature asks customers to select from one to five stars for a product. It’s only available to customers who have actually purchased the item from Amazon — “verified” buyers. That barrier alone creates one hurdle that will make the new rating system harder to game, since Amazon does allow written reviews from non-verified buyers.

I understand that Amazon allows non-verified buyers to leave a review, so they can have more product reviews but those non-verified reviews are the source of so much garbage.

Sure, let people post non-verified reviews, so you look like you have a lot of reviews but at least let me filter them out in my search.

Filter: 4+ stars from only verified reviews.

Hell, even 3+ stars from verified reviews would be helpful.

I know sellers can fake verified reviews by paying the consumer back for the product but that's a massively higher barrier for the manufacturer. The difference is a few cents per review VS a few dollars per review.

I've seen products with thousands of fake non-verified reviews. I'm pretty sure they couldn't afford to do the same with verified reviews.
ProPublica to me is the best. Of course they don't cover everything, but what they do cover, they do an excellent job.
Any form of nondeterminism in CI or unit tests should itself be treated as a bug. If something fails, it must be failing no matter whose machine it's failing on, and vice versa for passes. Additionally it should not depend on the order in which tests are run.

The longer it takes to run the full suite, the more important this is.

Yes, sometimes this is unavoidable and you have to decide that it's not worth dealing with, but then you have to corral those tests off into a "these sometimes don't pass lol" section. The regular CI must not waste people's time with unreproducible failures. And it shouldn't waste downstream user's time with unreproducible or by-coincidence passes, either.

If this is not the case, then you let entropy win. Tests that fail "sometimes" become tests that fail most of the time. People get used to re-running until they get the result they want - which means it's passing by luck.

If you need to test RNG or time-based behaviour, make that reproducible as well. Otherwise you end up with a "can't print on Tuesday" bug, do the tests on Wednesday, conclude it works, and ship it.

There is definitely a debate to be had about coverage, which I think is what your question about ranges of inputs is really about. In some cases it may be possible to just test everything: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2014/01/27/theres-only-fou...

.. but again, realistically, you have to look at your line and branch coverage and decide when it's good enough.

(One of my "debugging war stories" that I should get around to writing up was to do with touchscreens; we had all of "touchscreen stops working if you change PSU", "sometimes double-press", and "sometimes misses touches". For the latter two it was years before the business even definitively established it was a software fault and not just users damaging the touchscreen, and the eventual test process we settled on was "have a robot press the screen 10,000 times and count the results".)

Ah papyrus oh how I missed you from high school.
The (edit: average) Amazon star rating has been such a poor indication of the quality of a product for a very long time - at best, it's a weak indicator of which products you might check out first.

For me personally, the most valuable bit of feedback are the negative (edit: 1 and 2-star written) reviews - they are pretty much the only review content I trust. I'm looking for patterns of issues that multiple reviewers raise about the product.

The positive reviews have so little value when anyone can post a review. So many shallow positive reviews from unverified 'buyers'.
Here's a archived version of the article whilst it is getting hugged to death by us: https://web.archive.org/web/20200214140041/https://coronalab...

But perhaps you never heard of them, but now you have seen their 'name', I know what you are probably thinking these days: Nope not even close, but actually it's perfect timing.

The SEO on this right now doesn't look good right now and it would't be great in the long term. But even then, the product wasn't really generating enough revenue for them to stay afloat and now continuing this under their current name with users using search engines would have been the final nail anyway.

Open-sourcing sounds like the right way to go for a proper send off for 'Corona' the product. Probably needs a renaming too.

Companies should always interview the referrer about their relationship with the referred.

How do they know the referral? Where have they worked together, and how closely did they work with each other? Involve the referrer in the hiring process.

Involve the referrer in the hiring process. It quickly becomes obvious if the referrer doesn't really know the person they referred. Don't hesitate to inform people that the quality of their referrals will impact their reputation.

Once people know that their referrals are being watched, they won't participate in these games. The single worst referral program I witnessed was a fire-and-forget program where employees put names on a referral list and received $5000 if that person was hired. No consequences for bad referrals. Unsurprisingly, a few people immediately flooded the referral list with the names of every developer in their LinkedIn lists. That program didn't last long.
So after all that (it was fantastic) I just want to confirm my understanding: "brown" is literally just "dark orange", correct?

I’d be a lot more interested in this wiki entry if there was a bloody force graph. Without that we have to rely on baloney like “a short rounded bump”. What is the definition of short? Rounded? Why is “bump” quoted in the article?

If you can’t provide a force graph, at least publish the total travel, the activation force and distance, the deactivation distance, and how far the tactile feedback is from both.
May be that isn't the only approach that will yield good results, there are really powerful tools on a fundamental level like csound etc that I think fully leverage programmed computers and music.
Not sure why, but the thought of most people not caring how their cars, or tech, or anything works made me quite sad. I think you're correct, but I'm constantly considering and reconsidering how all the things around us work, are made, can be better... It's all basically real magic but people can actually perform it.

I'm pretty sure that a ton of the review fraud on amazon comes through verified purchases. You refund/pay people to buy the product on amazon and leave a review in the best case, in the worst case you operate accounts buying your own stuff, and then flow the inventory back and basically pay an amazon tax for leaving good reviews.

IMO this is pretty solvable by looking at an account's purchase history too, but I don't think it's just as simple as blocking non-verified-purchase reviews.
Pre frames and table-layout designs are pretty good, because they are dead simple HTML - and thus, they allow reflow, being responsive as a result.

This is not one of those.

I've never done the no-sugar thing, but I did switch to drinking fizzy water rather than soda a few years ago. Today I'll occasionally order a Coke or Dr Pepper and it tastes so syrupy sweet to me now that I can only manage to drink a small amount. I enjoy it, but it gets overwhelming quickly.

Ten years ago I would routinely get a 20+ oz soda with my meal and that feels unimaginable to me today. Part of that is just me getting old. Consuming a bunch of sugar today leaves me feeling hungover tomorrow.
"Can do" is not particularly useful. You "can" sit there and sequence thousands of sine waves in audacity to create any sound that you want... but nobody wants to do that.

Bitwig's grid is capable, but the ease of access for particular workflows is burdensome. Replicating Serum in the grid isn't possible practically, both because of filter designs and the wavetable capabilities, and getting close requires some significant acrobatics.
