I'm a night owl, primarily because it's the easiest way to steal a couple extra hours to do things I actually enjoy out of the four-hour-life slog.

Trying to take those hours from the morning doesn't really work, because there is the hard-stop deadline of having to get ready to go to work, and the chances of somebody else interrupting me and fucking up what I'm trying to do is almost certain, whereas once the world is asleep, I'm relatively free.
I had a very similar experience. I got into a flow state while converting the project, which has never happened for me while working with an unfamiliar framework. It clicked in a way that Angular never did.

Does React feel the same way? I know people love it too, but I haven't had an excuse to try it yet.

I really dislike that all "Microservice communication" guidances encourages RPC, synchronized communication. Service Meshes make the nightmare easier to bare. It makes bad design easier to implement than good design.

It creates temporal coupling between the services that becomes really hard to manage at scale, and relies on bells and whistles from the underlying orchestrator to keep your system healthy, instead of relying on the inherent robustness of your system design.
You definitely don't want bright lights in your eyes (computer) if you're trying to sleep. I've heard getting up and doing a menial task (dishes, knitting, etc) for a few minutes can help if you've laid in bed for a long time with no luck.

There is a lot of stupid and non-sense talk about how the coronavirus was created, because of Chinese people eating bats.

There is no scientific evidence to support this!

Instead, this exposes the deep-seated biases and prejudices, that Westerners (white people) have of Easterners, and specifically, the Chinese, in this case. It also didn’t help that the Trump Administration went on a negative media assault for the past 3 years to demonize the Chinese, so they are now an easy scapegoat for all troubles in the world. This really does not help the situation.

Now, how about a different theory?

Animals normally develop immunity to their environment, and from the viruses that exist in that area. This is the law of natural selection in play. Those that survive, go on and reproduce, and carry the antibodies to protect their offspring. Those that don’t, will die off, and their bodies will be eaten by vultures.

I suspect that the coronavirus mutated and appeared, because of an animal from one part of the world, was shipped to another part of the world, where it didn’t have natural immunity to the diseases of that region. In this case, a bat carrying the virus.

Maybe an animal from Africa, was transported to Asia, where it would have never traveled there by itself. That animal got sick, and triggered a mutation, which infected a human handling it, which mutated again, and infected another human, and now, we have an outbreak.

The key to understanding this may be in how the MERS virus appeared. It’s believed to come from bats, which infected a camel, which infected a human. Do people in the Middle East eat camels? No, I don’t think so.

So why should SARS and this COVID-19 virus be any different?

Limiting the transport of live animals, to different areas of the world, should help minimize future virus outbreaks. But, humans have been transporting live animals all over the world, for hundreds or thousands of years, ever since boats were first invented. So I suspect, that it is only a matter of time before another novel coronavirus appears. And global warming may also be playing a factor too, in triggering viruses and diseases in nature, that had previously been dormant.

This is HN. Most people here are scientifically and technically educated. Do your part. Analyze the situation scientifically. Change the narrative. Otherwise, we risk devolving into our deep seated fears and prejudices. We lose our humanity in the process.

This is a very myopic view of UI development. The library is built to give you sane, well designed defaults that is lay together well when following the HIG, and which you should rarely attempt to override. Case in point, HStack, whose sole purpose is to stack items horizontally with proper spacing and is quite hard to achieve correctly on the web. If you want “dumb and explicit” why use a UI kit?

> Their opinion is that it's a way for people to get around corporate firewalls. Kinda blind to the idea that if a browser can implement DNS over HTTPS then anything can.

Thats not the problem. If more application folow Firefox, and do DNS on their own, corporate applications and sites will stop working, and IT will get the blame.

Now that it's just firefox, ok, but if other app will follow the lead, we will constantly have to play whack a mole, why someone doesn't resolve correctly.

How do I debug problems ?

Is there a tool (something like dig), i can use to see, how will Firefox resolve a domain ?

Where i work we don't block anything on our firewall, but we have plenty of services only exposed on internal DNS. Not to mention, we have to a lot of times replicate environment that is similar to clients, so I often create zones, where people can VPN in, and have similar DNS resolution as the target. Each app doing its own DNS will make that harder.

> Especially those people around the world where searching the wrong thing up online can lead to imprisonment or worse

That would be true, if Mozilla rolled this out worldwide, but its US only.

Also right now there are bazillion ISP with bazillion DNS servers.

There are very few DOH DNS providers that Mozilla endorses, so if majority of "privacy" conscious people will start using them, it will become that more valuable for various bad actors to compromise them.
Right now there are so many ISP's with their own DNS's that even if all of them were selling the data, just finding them all and buying their data would be huge task.

This is another centralization of previously decentralized service. (like it happened with email)

Honestly I think that in the long run, this will be worse for privacy that we have now.
I'm glad to see the MIDI spec is available for download! It was my understanding that the only way to get the specification for MIDI 1.0 was to buy a hard copy of the spec, and that sales of the book were the only way the MIDI association made money. Looks like now both are free.

I think I had heard that from an interesting youtube lecture on how MIDI works, which I'll link to just in case anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPteB_LpHoM

The point isn’t that adaptative spacing does a good job most of the time, it’s that it’s doing things it isn’t telling you about in code and you “just need to know” for when it isn’t doing a good job.

Think about having to remember UI padding voodoo the couple days after you back from a vacation.

The UIkit shouldn’t try and hide language normal commas, it shouldn’t try and imply “smart” or “magic” padding.

I think your reading too much into what I said.

I was saying immigrant friendly to denote that the industry imports a lot of people, more than a less immigrant friendly industry, say hollywood. It creates a constant inflow of new single people more than other industries.

Us software people in general have bad social skills on average compared to say, hollywood or fashion people.

And I brought up how other industries that are more gender skewed in the other direction create an imbalance in the other way on the dating market. It wasn't passing judgement about the why of the gender skew.

Don't put devices on your network if you don't want to give them network access. And don't block technologies and protocols that help people protect themselves just because they also help devices protect themselves from you MITMing their connections. If you want to run a device reverse-engineering lab you have more work to do to break the security of a device.

Also remember that if you can break the security of a device, so could an ISP router. The correct behavior for devices is to treat the intermediate network between them and the servers they talk to as hostile.

How many people are using custom local plaintext DNS as a measure to analyze local devices on their network? How many more people are having their whole network's DNS usage analyzed by their ISP and anyone their ISP sells data to? The defaults are designed to be the right choice for people who don't change the defaults.
Yeah, my project was fairly new. That helps a lot. I could simply drop everything and rewrite from scratch. Templates were easy to translate from Angular to Vue.

But converting a large, old project is always going to be hard. You either need a way to mix two different frameworks, which is going to be messy, or do a complete rewrite, which is a massive amount of work.

This looks like a neat tool, and I can see myself using this!

My main project so far this year has been creating actual performance metrics, and not just guesstimates (This is especially important with the JVM which will optimize code at runtime to your actual payloads). And the best tool so far has been FlameGraphs [1]: I urge everyone to try and find am implementation for them and their specific language, as these things are actually interactive. It's not just a nice graphic, but can tell you very directly where you're spending time. We've found countless minor bugs and wasted cycles.

The best java integration I could find is Async-Profiler [2] which can - as the name implies - be attached to any running jvm. The config is pretty powerful and intuitive. It's one of those magical things that just work.

Actually -- to be honest, we're in the golden age of infrastructure. I love building on cloud. I don't have to worry about the fiddly bits as much and when I do things are often documented either in official docs or in blog posts and things.
Some airports already have museums. AMS has an annex of the Rijksmuseum. SFO has the SFO museum - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_International_Ai... .

The AMS isn't big - a medium-sized room, as I recall, plus a bigger gift shop underneath.

Given the existing experience, is there enough experience to judge how well this proposal might turn out in practice?
Tunneling the analog control signal into digital packets would be easy, then it's just a matter of picking the best PHY interface to send them around.

Don't worry about sound issues, though. Old hybrid synths (analog generators with digital control and parameters storage) were very recognizable from fully analog ones (purely CV controlled) just because say a pitch bend mapped to a 8 bit sampling of a potentiometer, which translates to 7 bit up and 7 bit down, wouldn't have the minimum quantization to let the listener perceive it as an analog control. Today cheap MCUs allow adding digital control to analog generators, filters, envelopes etc. to a granularity level (16+ bit) so that any realtime variation would be identical sound wise to a fully analog controlled synth. Latency wouldn'b an issue as we're talking about control and not sound generation: MCUs with no or minimal (realtime) OSes would never impose such higher latencies as in virtual instruments etc. Having an ADSR kick like two milliseconds after the key is pressed would hardly be a problem.
'Given the rather limited impact of all the bugs considered in this study, one hypothesis to explain this unexpected result could be that, in a mature compiler like Clang/LLVM, all the bugs affecting code patterns that are frequent in real code have already been fixed, so that the remaining bugs are corner cases that do not appear more frequently in real code than in artificial code.'

There's also the security angle: the major application of fuzzers is finding security holes (since if it found bugs in common normal user activity, why didn't the users already report them?), but compilers are typically not exposed to security problems the way a, say, TCP/IP stack or image library is.
> Obviously, using a mouse/trackpad is not the same as tweaking real knobs, but it's much cheaper.

I’m interested to see what the availability of cheap VR does here. With today’s room scale VR, using knobs and sliders in a 3D space is feasible. Being able to develop spatial memory, even without tactile feedback, makes for a compelling alternative to using a mouse and screen. Once VR/AR gets tactile feedback like this glove[0], it gets even closer to parity with hardware.

If the module controls in VCV Rack are standard components (button, knob, slider, etc.) then it should be pretty simple to translate them into 3D controls. Though I guess buttons may not work as well as switches, I haven’t encountered them in VR yet. Anyway, with those component mappings in place, any VCV module should be displayable in a virtual rack with no extra effort—it’s just a procedural UI change, generated from the existing 2D layout, that doesn’t impact the audio engine at all.

The definition of meta used in the piece doesn't match my understanding. Take his final example where he says that adjusting tactics in response to your opponent in ultimate frisbee is meta. No, that just strategy.

Same goes for most of the examples he gives.

Looks like I'm getting old, and the word has been redefined from out under me:

In video games, however, the metagame has its own meaning—and depending on which game you play, the context differs. In short, the metagame in video gaming means using characters or items that are the most powerful at the time to try and find the best and quickest means to victory.

It added yet another thing I have to implement, test and maintain through whatever changes they decide to make.

Nothing like adding extra work for every enterprise IT team to make new friends.

There are also some massive security issues with making all https traffic blind that making only the data blind didn't create - like the ability to blackhole known unsafe domains as they appear.

+1 on containerization, and I would add that controlling your container orchestration service (particularly ingress and security) is another key factor. Whether someone uses Docker Swarm or Kubernetes, this setup enables anyone to redeploy their entire applications at a blink of an eye, regardless of which cloud service provider you use.

Reading through the syntax changes they made makes me really appreciate the decisions made around JSX and how that works, syntactically. It's just javascript, and none of these weird constructs need to be added into some DSL to support it. There's the reasonably minimal html-ish syntax, then "escape to javascript" to add in conditionals or loops or whatever.
