it's not cheap even domestically, N95 china retail price is 20RMB right now (not like 3M, domestic brands). Compare to US price ~$6-7 most of that difference is shipping. The price inflation goes all the way to the source production equipment and raw materials, it's every step.
How many .yu domains were registered when Yugoslavia broke up? Back in 1992 most people had never even heard of the Internet, especially in politically unstable third world countries. You could probably count the number of .yu domains registered on your hands.
Depends on the importance of a couple effects that light is immune to (at least for an optics equation)

1) gravity post impact with backboard

2) impact angle for a given (start, backboard) tuple depend on velocity and launch angle for a basketball, but are always the same for light. Also the impact angle for the basketball and light are very different
Democracy is called that because every vote is a person. People are finite, you can't just add more whenever you feel like it.

Voting of shareholders of a company can still be called a democracy because the amount of shares – what's weighing the votes – is finite.

But the supply of .org domain names is effectively infinite, and so any "voting" weighed by domain names would just become a bidding contest.

There are only like 10 million .org domain names. At this rate it will cost just a bit more than $100 million to pass any decision requiring a simple majority, and a bit more if a supermajority is required. This is notably cheaper than the $1.3B acquisition price.

If we want to entrench status quo, one solution is to require broad consensus of a sizeable but finite number of large players representing customers including the ones you mentioned.
Thanks! I only saw Mac and Linux on the installation page. Nice to see the windows binary on the releases page. I have all three systems, but my windows box is my main go to, and my newest and most powerful laptop. I'll try it after work tonight, and get back to you with any questions. Is there a forum, or just use Github?

“You can buy cheap Android but if you go much below $399 you’ll be replacing it a lot more often.”

The Moto G is a cheap phone below $399. It was horribly slow. I was referring to that sentence.

As far as high end phones Benchmarks comparing GPU and web performance for high end Android phones compared to iPhones are readily available.

The iPhone 8 is now two and a half years old and is still faster than any Android phone.

Also, compare the performance of the $329 iPad 6th generation to most Android devices.

Concurrency.. the way i understand it, it is about making parts of the program run independent of each other and thus can run at the same time.

But you might want to check out someone who knows better, like Rob Pike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN_DpYBzKso

Yes, Erlang makes concurrent programs easier to write.

Again it is better to listen to someone who knows more, like the creator of Erlang Joe Armstrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo5WL5IQAd0
Any talk by him is great.

Erlang, in how i see it, makes it easier to write concurrent programs because:

1. Parts of a program communicate with other parts by passing messages

2. Every variable is static, as in if you declare that A is 12 you can not change it to be 13

Joe Armstrong had a way of explaining these things so that even i could understand, so i do recommend watching every talk you can find of him. I also recommend the interview he did of Alan Kay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhOHn9TClXY .

But if you want to really get into concurrency i recommend a paper called "Communicating Sequential Processes" by C. A. R. Hoare. See http://www.usingcsp.com/

It's a "formal language" for dealing with concurrency. Go, and some other languages, implement a "CSP style" way of doing concurrency.

Erlang doesn't do SIMD, nor GPU. However, it does world scale low latency systems.

Of course, it's still up to the programmer to do everything correctly and Erlang is just a tool.

I don't quite like *JS, so i won't say anything about that.

What I fail to understand - where was the emergency planning? A global pandemic is surely one thing that is a) foreseeable and b) possible to plan for. PPE could have been stockpiled, essential industry identified, testing infrastructure established, quarantine protocols put in place. We even had a dry run with SARS!

I'm sure there are (or were) civil defence / continuity of government plans in case of nuclear war, this must have been number 2 on the list of possible national emergencies?

For someone who is unfamiliar with ML-type languages, can you summarize some good use-cases for Gleam?

Have a look at Materialize[0]. It automatically updates your materialized views using a dataflow model (differential dataflow) so that reads are fast even if you're running the same query over and over. It's a step up from rolling your own materialized views in Postgres or whatever, because you don't have to create triggers or anything like that, you just create views in plain SQL.

Then of course you can use a GraphQL layer above it, just like you would with any GraphQL resolvers backed by SQL, or just cut out the middleman and use plain REST instead of GraphQL.

I don’t understand why you need different distributions for different DEs.

The only distro I’ve used past teenage is Ubuntu. I alternate stints of maybe 2 years with Windows, 2 years with Ubuntu. First thing I do after installing the most recent LTS Ubuntu is “apt install spectrwm”.

Spectrwm is not even particularly good — everyone tells me to use xmonad instead — but I know how to get it in usable shape in about half an hour. This after many moons of exclusively using Windows.
Another issue - there's no way to see user votes without actually voting, which encourages people to leave the vote in the "neutral" state and click through if they just want to see the results.

In almost every case I saw, perfect Neutral was skewed very highly so this UX is clearly polluting the results.
They definitely qualify as GPU. I think the main reason people aren't using them is that tools are primitive. Also, historically they've been pretty anemic in horsepower, though are getting better. Still not competitive with high end discrete graphics cards, but absolutely getting there on the low end.

Intel GPU has three hidden strengths:

* CPU <-> GPU communication is cheaper, because they can actually share memory (a separate copy to staging buffers is not needed).

* Latency is potentially lower, although it's not clear to me yet that driver software can take advantage of the potential offered by the hardware. (More empirical measurement is needed)

* Subgroup operations on Intel appear to be wicked-fast, shuffle in particular.

Long story short, I think there is opportunity here that most people aren't exploiting.
This is an aside, but there are basically two ways to do budgeting:

Forecasting (what most people think of as budgeting) where you assume some average inflow and calculate the average/target outflow for various categories for each month. This doesn't work with irregular income unless you set your outflow to below your average inflow (which may not be easy to predict for freelancers, part-time workers, or people who get tips).

Actual budgeting where you take the existing cash on hand and designate/allocate it for spending categories. I have (made up numbers) $5k on hand, I have to pay my mortgage ($1500) leaves me with $3500. I set some aside for groceries ($400) leaves me with $3100. Repeat until this month's categories are done, put any excess into the next month. Maybe I have $1k free after budgeting so I can put $1k to next month's mortgage. Then on my next paycheck I can budget the remaining $500 to that and start on other categories. At the end of this exercise, I know my money will get me through this month (or not) and how much further it'll go.

Of the two formats, the former only works if you have a regular paycheck and very little deviation in spending from month to month. The latter works very well for many more people in a variety of situations because it is based on reality.

While I use YNAB and would recommend it, there are other systems out there that do the same thing. And I've used ledger-cli for it as well (but really wanted the mobile interface and something my wife would use). You can start with either as an expense tracker, and then after a month or two (once you've tracked your spending so you know your current level) you can switch to using them as budgeting tools (YNAB does that out of the box, ledger-cli takes a bit more work).

Yeah, of course I have never thought as myself as a computer scientist, I like my job/title as a programmer, I don't see any downside in that, manipulating data is fun.

I don't personally have "programmer heroes", maybe it's because I'm 39 years old and as such I haven't believed in cowboy-like programmers for almost a decade now. I did strongly believe though in what Aaron Swartz used to do and in what he used to believe, i.e. an open internet and open data for almost everyone, but that dream died in the late 2000s - early 2010s and I don't think we'll ever going to get close to anything like that ever again.

I agree with 90% of this article. However, I differ on one point: as far as I'm concerned, the "File, Edit, View" categories are anachronisms from another era. They make sense in Microsoft Office†, but fail to cover the breadth of software in use today.

I'm currently using Firefox (on OS X, where it still has a menu bar). The first three options under "File" are "New Tab", "New Window", and "New Private Window". Does it really make sense for any of those to be under "File"? I understand, historically, why they ended up there—each document used to correspond to a new file—but tabs fundamentally are not files.

I'll switch over to OS X's Messages app‡. The first two options under "File" are "New Message" and "Open". The former starts a new conversation, and the latter let's you attach a document to the current conversation. Those actions aren't related at all, except in that they kind of relate to the concept of the word "File", depending on which metaphor you're following.

So, I don't think there's anything wrong with mpv grouping its menus differently from evince. They're doing different things and shouldn't have to follow the same categories.

---

† Which is definitely (sarcasm) why Microsoft Office decided to replace the traditional menu with a ribbon. Again, I agree with most of this article.

‡ I'm running OS X 10.9; Apple may have made changes in newer OS's.

There is something about the aesthetic of the maps that doesn’t appeal to me, at least as they appear in the photographs. They almost look like they should be tilt-shifted models a la Game of Thrones intro, but they are flat, so maybe some dissonance there?

Is there any workaround to view this? I get 403.

Edit: Nevermind, the workaround is to set default DNS to something other than cloudflare. Oddly I didn't expect that I was on 1.1.1.1 as I'm on Ubuntu but dual boot Win10, with windows already set to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 and default Xfinity DHCP on linux (never got around to setting it on linux). Now I'm wondering whether xfinity DHCP or Ubuntu sets 1.1.1.1, and whether thats actually going directly to cloudflare or passing through xfinity DNS on the way to cloudflare. Some digging ahead.
I'm young (25) but my first (family) computer used to run Windows 98 (that's what we could afford). And I can recall well, UI had one "meta-language": menu bar (file, view ..., help), toolbar, and if you'd hover your mouse pointer over a widget, a tooltip would show up with explanation about what the widget does and the keyboard shortcut for that action. Once you learnt how to use one application, say Paint, you'd probably pick up any other quickly. Also, there was the always helpful Help Window (F1) with rich explanation about everything you'd want to know.

I feel that Modern UIs are awkward to use. Many applications have their own way of doing the same thing other applications do. Oftentimes their new way of doing something is badly documented (tooltips are too ugly I guess), so now you have to search the web for help; the help you found is full of useless text, ads and browser-locking javascript; soon enough you find yourself longing for Win 98 era UI.
I doubt that .io could become a gTLD, given the established practice of using ISO 3166 alpha-2 codes for country-specific domain names. A .io gTLD would be dependent on obtaining some sort of long-term reservation for IO in ISO 3166 and perhaps even in existing standards that extend it, and this is unlikely to be granted given how tight the alpha-2 encoding space is already.

> You're suggesting acting parasitically toward the group, in that you are gaining the benefits of others sacrificing their own goals for group goals, while not sacrificing your own goals for group goals.

No, I'm not. I'm saying that not identifying as a member of the group allows you to make a conscious decision on whether to continue to cooperate with a group when the goals of the group no longer are compatible with your goals. Maybe that means ending or redefining your relationship with the group, maybe it means trying to change the group.

This is a particularly rich accusation coming from someone who thinks it's normal to behave out of rational self-interest. ;)

> In the long term, sure I could buy that. But the short term benefits could easily make it worth it overall to form the group. By the time the group degenerates as you describe, the members could be vastly ahead of where they would have been otherwise.

That's true, which is why you'd want to cooperate with groups and then exit them when they cease to be beneficial.

To be clear, a lot of your negativity on my position seems to be from your assuming that my goals are necessarily selfish. If you believe everyone acts only in rational self-interest, then all cooperation lasts only as long as you have the same goals anyway, so your position is self-contradictory. That is, unfortunately, how a lot of the capitalist economy works, but that's not how relationships and cooperation really work in a lot of cases. The reality is that when I cooperate with people, even if they have different goals than me, I often learn things from them that change my goals, or form a new goal of maintaining a relationship with that person. Goals can be prosocial.

Thanks so much for looking! You’re right, all the visualisations apart from the first one arrange the notes in octaves (12 notes). I’m starting to work on better 2D and 3D visualisations. Unfortunately Apple recently deprecated OpenGL support, so I’m trying something that’s only supported by Apple now (Metal), which means it would have to be for Apple only. I’m keen to make some 3D visualisations... I’m imagining something like a 3D environment, where you could “walk” and watch things react to music like tree leaves and waterfalls! :) The app is basically just “better” at detecting notes (frequencies) than FFT, it’s basically doing an online wavelet transform.
