This is simply false, as proven by the numerous clients that have tried and failed to build on top of IRC.

Every single thread about this kind of stuff has an IRC devote crawl out of the woodwork. I get it: I grew up on IRC as well.

I've worked power-user type applications that are mainly keyboard driven, and those are pretty easy to make cross platform with a single custom codebase that has a platform-specific graphics backend (OpenGL covers many platforms) and minimal platform code. Let's say < 300 lines of boilerplate per platform + 600 lines for OpenGL + 2-5K lines for (shared) UI controls.

> they made an audio filter using techniques and understanding of sound in space that only became available in last 10 years.

This is an old technique. The idea of convolving the impulse response of a system with an input to yield the output is the basis of LTI systems theory. And while convolution isn't the most computationally light operation in the world, computers have been up to the task of practically performing such operations on audio signals for at least 20 years.

There's been some more recent work about more efficiently and accurately measuring the impulse responses of a space, but given they're using balloon pops, they're not using that work.

> a gun

Is that the kind of gun you buy?

Saying power gives you power is a circular argument. Wealth is like a wildcard, it can be turned into anything. And it's greatly amplified by experience as a guide to turning it into power, and allies by your side.

With wealth you buy the tools needed to stay in power: guns, lobbying, policy making, political campaigning, influencing public opinion or education, etc. No wealth and allies, no tools. Look at corporations making the game without firing one shot.

The entirety of human history showed that wealth has always been able to buy power better than anything else. And a few examples of rebellions or revolutions where people successfully overthrew the rich just show poor management on the side of the rich. Plenty more have died with guns in hand. Guns given to them by someone wealthy.

Hi, Interesting approach even being anti-pattern it seems a very efficient approach.

> I would encourage you to consider expanding from electronics only to parts.

This a great idea we had parts database in mind and same visual support for footprints and symbols. I forgot to mention in my initial comment we are also working to develop 3D render of PCB's, Gerber and Parts.

> Part files are often large and good integration with git-lfs[1] could be a killer feature.

Yes we realized this recently and adding Git-lfs to not only handle large files but to also offer File Locking that will enable teams to collaborate bit more efficiently.

>Also, you may find this recent comment[0] interesting.
Thanks for sharing this! Looking into it.

> Do you have plans to monetize?

Yes we do, we are initially planning to charge teams for access controls and self-hosted git, once all the features I have highlighted and use have mentioned are in play so it adds value in team collaboration.

>onsell fabrication and component services
This is an interesting approach for pricing. I have added for discussion with my team. Let's see where it leads us but thanks for giving this idea :)

>I believe there is a huge amount of value add possible in streamlining the learning process for new hardware designers who are as yet unfamiliar with available fabrication processes (applies mostly to parts, not PCBs) / design approaches (PCBs also) and their relative costs, timelines, and limitations. I would make this the core USP / selling point as it is unmatched globally. A flowchart like selection / comparison process for a given part based on base requirements (part volume, part material limitations, part material property targets, part cost limitations, target production speed, overall equipment budget, timeline, part lifetime and deployment environment, etc.), try to go deep and get extreme clarity on trends here, I strongly suspect it will pay dividends with new users.

I totally agree with you this, I am putting this on as a core USP for product going forward wasn't considering this use-case of the product in this way. Our part database in not out yet because of this we are trying to sort requirements for this and design interactive Ui to bring this in play, I mean narrowing down parts and then ability to look for possible projects to get off the shelf integration help would make things so much similar and quicker.

Thanks for taking out time to share such in-depth feedback. It is really helpful for us in prioritizing features for development and is giving me another perspective to think about things.

For the purposes of a site like this, peer review filters out the cranks. Cranks can be rather a burden on people: they rarely accept criticism well, and effort spent explaining the problems to their defenders is a drain without a lot of upside.

So when somebody can say "It has been peer reviewed", it at least helps get past the crank filter. And conversely, "It hasn't been peer reviewed" can be a shortcut for "I'm not going to put a lot of effort into this without better reason than I've heard so far."

It's not so much an argument as a way of shortcutting an argument. Though note that doesn't really apply to a top-level comment on HN, where nobody has really advanced an argument yet and simply ignoring it might be a more useful strategy.
Listen to Scientists, Not Politicians, When It Regards the Coronavirus
I think eliminating aging would probably bring more stability to society: people would stop forgetting the past so much, because there'd still be people around reminding them of it, who had personal experience. History tends to work in cycles, and a lot of that is because populations forget what they learned through experience, because the people who went through the experience die off and the younger generations don't learn the lesson properly. Sure, it might mean some change will be slower, but you'll also avoid highly damaging short-term aberrations (like the Nazis).

Also, you seem to believe that people never change their views. I don't think that's really true either; people do evolve over time. My views are very different than what they were when I was a teenager (and not more conservative either). Older people do adapt to changing society. Look at, for instance, the acceptance of various social changes in the US, such as gay marriage. These things did not come slowly; they were breathtakingly fast. There'd be some initial pioneers pushing it for a while, but not getting very far. But eventually, like a dam breaking after a crack, suddenly the whole society would adopt it. Go back in time 20 years and ask some random people if they think gay marriage would be legal nationwide by now and they'd think you're crazy. This didn't happen just because of some old people dying off; it happened because the entire society got comfortable with the idea, though it took many of them a while to accept it.

Finally, eliminating aging doesn't mean eliminating death or childbirth. People will still have children, and people will still die (from accidents, murder, diseases, etc.). Also, the biology of the brain that affects old peoples' thinking will presumably be altered by anti-aging treatments, making them think more like younger adults.
Can any physicist tell me if there is even necessarily a mystery involved? If matter and antimatter are made from the same building blocks, couldn't a prevalence of one over the other be down to chance?

there has to be independently reproducable results from independent research over time until the variation of outcomes is known, for some sciences this can be a very long process for very unscientific reasons.

The next step (that will probably never happen) would be to refurnish the Hagia Sophia, as it would have been before it was plundered in the fourth crusade, and seat an audience in it, as if for a mass. Then pop another balloon. All those extra furnishings and bodies would have had a significant impact on how the space sounded. The plastered over mosaics might also create a noticeable effect that would need to be compensated for. Even with the impressive work of Abel and Pentcheva we still have something that would likely sound empty and strangely hollow to people familiar with the Hagia Sophia when it was serving as a church.

No. There's an internal Slack for that, which I avoid as much as I can. (Mozilla dev here.) Matrix just requires you to create an account, not be part of Mozilla somehow.

I guess I just don't see how it's all that close.

How are there grasses and herbs and trees (Genesis 1:12) before there's day and night or seasons (Genesis 1:14)? Evolutionary theory says that life was created after the crust cooled down - which means there was already day and night. And seasons too, since that depends on the inclination of the Earth.

Genesis 1:16 says the Moon was created after fruit trees. The earliest seeded trees are from the late Devonian, so no more than about 400 million years ago - well after the Moon started to orbit the Earth.

There are many other creation myths. How do you evaluate them for accuracy if you don't use "the current consensus of the senses"? Perhaps Mbombo really did vomit us up - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbombo , and we just haven't found the evidence?
By hosting a web client for free? Just like Mozilla contracts the Matrix folks (at least I think Modular.im is closely connected to core devs) to host a web matrix client at https://chat.mozilla.org/.

I assume you meant “raise” instead of “cut” here.

If so, you are correct, and the question about what the fed does when the market corrects/crashes is why a lot of folks are wringing their hands right now.

As a person who grew up in Boston, it is a really confusing term due to just sounding like a generally hard problem... which appears to be a pretty decent approximation of the term.

70s Vector Arcade Game Developer Tim Skelly Has Passed Away
Starbucks has one of the most seamless payment and ordering systems I use on a day-to-day basis. I'm not sure why it's surprising they would have their own credit card to make that even easier. Heck, every big box store seems to have their own card too. They cut down on the transaction fees if it's their own card, plus extra data for them.
Would you care to explain your reasoning? This topic genuinely interests me.

My experience is quite the opposite. To deliver a feature, you still need to integrate changes in multiple services. To do it in a monolith is IMHO easier. You have a single artifact you can test, the probability you have the right automation is higher. Also, the devs will run bigger part of the system in the development version.

What I was talking about was the latency of smaller changes. Think of bug fixes. Somebody has to notice it, triage, fix, (wait for automated tests) and deploy. Often, a bug fix affects just one service. With smaller services, this chain is simpler.
>Wealth, while not an exclusive means to power, can buy you power in more ways than one.

Wealth only buys you power if people are willing to accept your money, and are also refraining from simply using force to take your money from you.

>Look at corporations making the game without firing one gun.

That's because they have an entire government, with guns, enforcing the rules of the game they're playing. If the government suddenly decides to confiscate all their wealth, there's absolutely nothing they can do about it. This has happened multiple times in history (such as the Cuban Revolution).

>And a few examples of rebellions or revolutions where people have overthrown the rich just show poor management on the side of the rich.

No, it shows that at some point, having money doesn't overrule people willing to use violence against you. Most of the time, this is avoided because people tend to prefer to avoid violence, and because there's enough people willing to defend the status quo (where that money is valued), but sometimes that breaks down, and then no amount of money will save you.

It's very simple: a handful of wealthy people can never be a match for an army of people with guns. The only reason wealthy people have any kind of power is because there's an army behind them backing their claim to power.
Unless the blood from that massacre changed the acoustics of the space, it's still not enormously relevant to the article.
Press Release:Health Officials Quarantine 71 Testing Positive for Coronavirus
Super fan of the new Github CLI.
I feel like you are not replying to the core of the argument:

Spending is crucial because that's what signals where investment is needed / desirable. Furthermore, spending is what gives companies profits that can then be reinvested for sustained development. If there is no spending, then investment is simply pointless.

If investment happens in a vacuum, without regard for where the demand (which is nearly a synonym for spending) is, the investment will likely go to inefficient or useless projects.

Furthermore, the stated causality from saving to investment doesn't exist in our modern financial system. Banks create money out of nothing whenever they find a suitable borrower. Of course, a borrower is more likely to be suitable if they can demonstrate demand for their product - again, the importance of spending.

Sidenote: There is an equality of savings and investment in the national accounts (if you ignore the external sector), but that's just an after-the-fact accounting identity without any causal content. There's good reason to believe that, if anything, the causality goes from investment to savings. Either way, it's not an interesting causality. The real economic decisions, certainly the ones that lead to good allocation of capital, follow where the demand is.

Sidenote #2: Your stab at the government misses the point as well. Nobody is asking for the government to start investing in productive capacity for things that the private sector usually provides.

However, government could ensure that people have more disposable income. This leads to more spending, which encourages (and finances, via reinvested profits!) investment in order to satisfy the added demand. At the same time, it improves the quality of the demand signal, which helps achieve a better overall allocation of capital.

There are other useful things that governments could do, but this is an important and useful thing. The economy generally works well when people can just vote with their wallets. But one precondition is that there is money in those wallets.
Oh, and let's not forget the advanced form of this problem - the "supah wick'd hahd prahblem"... for general information "wicked" is usually a single syllable in Boston.
