I haven't looked into playing back Flac files from Mobile devices. I'm currently using a client on the Mac called Audirvana, but intend to use something on the Raspberry Pi like Volumio for general listening, connected to an amp and speakers. The Flac files are just available on the LAN from the NAS. I think Synology does support Plex too, which would let you listen to tracks away from home.
What would you buy for your own NAS? :-)
True, but there are going to be ways to make smartphone images sharper. You can already do some work in Lightroom to mostly bridge the gap.

IMO professional camera manufacturers need to get ahead of that by putting computational photography techniques in their full frame bodies.
> That and a belief that they didn't want to be glued to their phone all the time.

This made me think of another reason they are cutting smaller form factor phones, maybe not valid.

It could be that manufacturers of mobile phones are optimizing for engagement (see: apple switching revenue to services), and the engagement metrics on smaller form factor phones are lower, so they want people using less of them. They only want you to be able to buy a larger phone, because they want you to engage with your phone more.
I'm out of the loop here: why would any political faction not want an alleged cure to work? What's the goal here?
Airpods by Dr. Dre

So much that got copied from Android in the meantime, the innovation of the iPhone is a long time ago :)

I have never seen someone use UI gestures.

Not sure what he is doing, but the only thing I see is updating iPhone and raising the price. In the meantime, losing market share in their most important market.

I'm pretty sure iPhones market share will sharply drop way with the current Covid situation worldwide. Not a good position while trying to get people onboard the digital services.

As will the expensive gadgets.
in this case I am just relaying what I heard from some owners of construction / remodelling companies; drivers / workers with a citation for phone use had to pay either 50 or $125 or something along those lines, but were finding out that employers could not or would not hire them due to the insurance costs as a result. Just an anecdote, but I have not known my source to make such stories up (and it would have been strange to do so in the context of the conversation anyway).
Academia is just so much more relaxed for the employee. Especially in Europe.
If there is no need of blockchain, then it would be "stupid" to use blockchain, as it tend to be more complex and inefficient.

However all the design I came through included a state-run centralized database to contact people who have been in contact with someone having the covid, and generally gets access to the info of which covid-positive person you have been in contact with... How would design a system including more privacy ?

My feeling is you don't necessarily need to store anything on the blockchain. If you are more than Xminutes at less than 2 meter of someone, you get a unique address from this person. Then you just use the unique addresses of all the people to send them the info that you have the covid (after validation by a doctor?). That could use existing blockchain to do these simple transaction, with existing coin (eg. using OP-RETURN) or by creating a specific token. Monero would be interesting for the privacy side. Less private, but I like Komodo too.
It fits really well into agile because they deal with different aspects. For me it's just a way to empower my team and keep them unblocked to do what they need to do. It starts with trust and goes from there. If you know your team, you trust them and they're the right people in the right seats you know you're heading in the right direction. We've created a culture where they manage me (meaning they tell me what they need from me not the other way around) and they're accountable to each other not to me (if the DBA needs time off, he makes sure his team mates have what they need - it doesn't effect me except for tracking outputs and if I'm setting them up with what they need then this is already handled anyway). If you use some of these concepts properly success will become a side effect of having an efficient and happy team.
I worked at the company that "started" Nix, and I can assure you that we had those same issues internally, even when the whole Nix dev team was on our payroll.
I got my iPhone SE (iPhone 7) on Amazon for $150 a couple months ago... It sadly replaced my (real) iPhone SE that took a dip in a pool.
It's a pretty objective fact at this point that Android has more lag, is less secure, and has a worse app store than iOS. Practically the only reason anyone uses it is price.
Doing it on a whole program basis is also unlikely to give much benefit. Function calls are extremely fast, they only show their overhead in tight loops.
You've done well to stick with these things, and I do agree with your point, but I think almost any company can fall afoul of these practices...

- Optometry practice management software... targeted at maximising in-store sales with prescriptions that are difficult to use elsewhere, encouraging dark-patterns in sales tactics, etc.

- Insurance benefits processing and customer service systems... that attempts to minimise payouts, potentially by adding burden on the customer through the customer service process.

- Professional soccer/football training iPad apps... arguably sports doesn't bring as much benefit to the economy as equivalent spending elsewhere.

- phone/pbx, Audio and video communcations, tie in with the web... for premium rate phone lines that users with little choice are forced to use, such as those installed in prisons in the US.

- mapping systems to evaluate water scarcity and agriculture water use... for Monsanto.

- government benefits systems... that optimises to minimise payouts or contains unnecessary checks and hurdles.
It is a great movie, but it is intentionally shot to evoke feelings of claustrophobia -- it may be great art, but I would not recommend it to a true claustrophobe.
Well, it's a win for the suburban dwellers whose weekend visits to the city are subsidized and accommodated by the people who live there full time.
You might want to consider a new name - Zynq is Xilinx's flagship family of FPGA/ARM SoCs. With Xilinx being a pretty large corporation I'd be surprised if they don't immediately try to defend their trademark.

That study has been widely condemned as lacking any sort of rigour – the journal that published it has since issued a statement of concern around the methods.

For example, their "control" group were just arbitrarily-chosen patients treated at different hospitals, not people treated in the same hospital as where the study was conducted.
Instead high doses of vitamin C have proven to be very effective.
> but I've not yet decided if that's a bad thing or a good one.

It's a good thing, because it is time well spend.
Sorry didn't see this! If you read The Economist, it's strongly in favor of free markets, but I personally don't think it's zealous about that stance. It's also strongly pro-regulation and many articles criticize governments for not doing enough on the regulatory side. So yes, if the article actually says the Economist is completely uncritical of the free market (didn't see that), I think that's inaccurate.
Assume the land was stolen.

Gravitas: China's global propaganda campaign – Wuhan Coronavirus
As everyone has already mentioned it's natural to feel like this and it's just a case of practice.

A concrete suggestion that came to mind is isolate the simplest unit of functionality the project implements and try to implement it yourself fromsscratch using the existing code as a reference; stripping out all the error handling, edge cases etc.

The feasibility of this depends on the project but it can be a useful way to understand both the basics and the rest of the code that seems like spaghetti which is probably due to error handling, edge cases, etc. As an example I implemented part (a simple passwordless connection and select statement) of a database connection library from scratch in c# and it really helped me understand the existing solution better.
It's important to interpret these results carefully: "no evidence of efficacy" does not imply evidence of no efficacy, and in fact the uncertainty in this study is quite large. The sample size is small enough that it would be very hard for this study to detect the effect of hydroxychloroquine unless that effect is very, very large.

From the abstract:

> In the HCQ group, 2.8% of the patients died within 7 days vs 4.6% in the no-HCQ group (3 vs 4 events, RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.13-2.89), and 27.4% and 24.1%, respectively, developed acute respiratory distress syndrome within 7 days (24 vs 23 events, RR 1.14, 95% CI 0.65-2.00).

The relative risks and confidence intervals are the important numbers here. For example, the relative risk for death is 0.61, meaning the observed risk of death was lower for patients treated with hydroxychloroquine -- but the confidence interval is 0.13 to 2.89, meaning the data is consistent with anything from the risk being much smaller to the risk being much larger. Since there were only 3 deaths in the treatment group and 4 deaths in the control group, it's very hard to draw precise conclusions about death rates.

I think we can interpret this result to mean that hydroxychloroquine doesn't have a miraculously large effect, but the evidence is weak. Other commenters are correct that large randomized trials will be more definitive.

Unproven. Maybe just not micro-managing. Maybe they enable life, and watch to see where it goes.
This is the anti-SE.

The SE was small and premium. This is big and low-end (well, Apple low-end).
If this came out six months ago I would have considered buying this vs the iPhone 11 Pro.

The one thing about small phones is that you can operate the phone one handed. The iPhone 6-8 and the SE's design is pretty much at the limit that you could operate the phone one handed.
One thing that drove lust for low f-stops is that the lens had to be engineered and built to a higher degree of precision to produce acceptable quality fully open--which also benefited people who stopped it down. For a long time a f2.8 lens stopped down to f8 was likely to produce a better image than a f4 lens stopped down to f8--simply because the f2.8 was built better.

That is no longer necessarily true. For example in Nikon world the current 70-200mm f4 is generally thought to have the same quality as the 70-200mm f2.8.

Lens quality in general has gone way up as digital cameras have exceeded the resolution of film. Now companies have to engineer even mid-range lenses to produce very high-quality images since even mid-range DSLRs might have 20MP sensors or more. And on a computer it's easy to zoom in and pixel-peep... and share your disappointment with everyone else if the lens is bad.

For all the legend-making around the Nikon 300mm f2.0, their latest 300mm f2.8 is going to outperform it in every way expect for the number of photons it lets through.
Luke, I'm impressed and grateful for the high effort you put into responding to my rather low effort questions. Thank you.

I can see how your statement could be misinterpreted, it was slightly ambiguous. I did, upon careful reading, realise you probably meant that it was in your past and you were happy not to go back, but saying "in the past" rather than "in my past" made it sound a little as if you were dismissing the scene in general as being in the past - and possibly irrelevant.

Hope that helps clear up the misunderstanding between yourself and previous poster :-)

I guess, but seems weird to me to watch video on public transport instead of listening to music or a podcast, or reading something (which I do use my phone for). Then again, I don't have good public transport where I live, so I don't spend time on it to know.

But it's more about do enough people want to watch video in public or on the go such that large phones became the dominating choice?

> Well, the ability to communicate with others. Transferring and receiving the state of our mind and emotions to others.

But again, why does this require speech? There's sign language. There's braille. Are neither of these languages?

What I'm trying to say is that this isn't really a simple question. We've clearly thrown out the dictionary definition of a language, but these restrictions seem arbitrarily created to disclude programming languages but the way they're done also disclude things we do consider languages. Verbal communication seems like a strange restriction.
Entered my community college without any ambitions and had a 0.9 GPA my first semester. My major was undeclared and chose a random assortment of classes, passing my intro to psych class with a B and failing all other with an F. Ended up getting arrested for drug possessions charges. After that turned my GPA (3.92) around graduating from my community college with an AA in Liberal Arts: Humanities degree.

Transferred to another college pursuing a BA in Philosophy. Out of curiosity and to challenge myself decided to take Calculus (I was good at math in HS, but stopped after pre-calc). I did pretty well and enjoyed it. Decided to pursue some more math classes. Also took an intro to programming class since I was somewhat curious in this. Realizing I had a growing debt, $0 to my name, and no real career plans at this point I decided to pursue Math and eventually become an Actuary.

However after a couple more CS classes it was apparent this is what I wanted to be doing with my life, and it depressed me to read about what career advancements in being an actuary actually entailed. Quickly crammed in some more CS classes and graduated with a BS in Math, BA in CS and a minor in Philosophy.

My "decision" to join the tech industry was purely happenstance. I do not believe if it weren't for a series of events happening around those times in a quick succession I would have ended up here.

Edit: Added some detail regarding my original course selection.

This is the most popular selling smartphone design in history. It's no secret that the market back in 2013 was begging for a larger screened phone and this design delivered it in a big way. It's also much smaller than current flagships.
Potentially, yes. But again, we need more data before we can establish lucid guidelines on this therapy.

My hypothesis is that it's not going to be hydroxychloroquine that will be the miracle drug. There are better "hypothetical" alternatives that aren't getting as much mainstream attention but have a more realistic potential for working.

All In: "Haha OS-driven regex engine go brrrrr"
I think that if you did use different corporate social media, you'd see that the different features encourage very different kinds of use. Instagram is the way it is, for instance, because even if what you want to post is a whinging paean to your ex, you have to figure out a photo to go with that in order to put it on your profile. Even if what you want to post is a text meme from Tumblr, you've got to screenshot it, and now other people can swipe that screenshot.
The way people respond to restrictions on use creates new forms and modes of use; new platforms emulating old ones makes sense.
That is almost a year old though...
Ask HN: Notification Management Software?
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a software or service that can receive/handle/organize service notifications?

An example: we have an alert email endpoint that notifications are sent to from our cloud servers. A notification is sent when a service is down, the anti-DDOS software blacklists someone, an API connection fails, someone tries to log in too many times, etc. At the moment, it's just a Gmail inbox and it's messy to say the least.

Is there a dashboard or some service that takes these emails organizes them into a clean dashboard where we can create rules, tags and such to make things easier to manage?

While I got the Airpods Pro when they launched and loved them at first, the battery degradation and seemingly worse ANC performance has really irked me given their price.
