Yes, agriculture works! Especially modern agriculture with fertilizers, irrigation, weed control and crop rotation.
I mean, it kind of caught on. It's syntactically very close (if not identical) to JSX. It just caught on in a different form/technology than what was built into Gecko. I think if it had been introduced later, with the kinds of performance seen in VDOM implementations, it may have had a greater chance of becoming a web standard.
In the context of e.g. offline video encoders "1.9x realtime" is a statement about throughput, not latency
> Based on these stories, you might be determined to demand high writing standards everywhere, right off the bat.

...including writing about COVID-19. :) Sorry, couldn’t help cracking a joke after being exposed to so many memes.

> I believe this is the wrong approach though. Context matters. In a team of individual contributors, it’s crucial to share ideas early, to iterate and collaborate on them. Not everyone will have the same level of writing skills. Improving it can take a long time. Lower the barrier, encourage more writing, and people will get more practice.

This requires a feedback loop. It’s like writing a program and being satisfied with it yourself, and then someone points to a bug or does a code review and points to issues or areas for improvement. Just lowering the barrier to write without a respectful feedback loop isn’t going to do anyone any good. There are too many blind spots that writers themselves cannot discover.

> Where you should enforce high-quality writing is broad or upwards communication, because there clarity is more important than speed and ideation. Here too, it’s important to keep in mind that good writing takes time.

Yes, it does take time. But being able to write well not only shows the person’s ability to write, but also clarity in thought and an ability to communicate thoughts to others. In a world where most of the communication, even before COVID-19, is in written form, it’s important to treat every piece that one writes with care. Mastering a language may not be easy. But showing some care while writing is within the reach of many people who need to convey their thoughts to others.
For more context, the head of the FS 2020 program has said it's "very high" on their priority list. So while they won't block launch for it, it sounds like they aim to introduce it not too long afterward.
Something close to this is possible already in JS, I'm working on a library for generating HTML in node, heavily inspired by Haskell's blaze and lucid. Example code:

div(
{ class: "table-responsive" },
table(
{ class: ["table table-sm", opts.onRowSelect && "table-hover"] },
thead(tr(hdrs.map(hdr => headerCell(hdr)))),
tbody(
vs.map(v =>
tr(
mkClickHandler(opts, v),
hdrs.map(hdr =>
td(typeof hdr.key === "string" ? text(v[hdr.key]) : hdr.key(v))
)
)
)
)
)

The first argument to a tag is optionally an object with the attributes, any subsequent arguments are children of the tag, or an array with the children.

EDIT:

the library as a gist: https://gist.github.com/glutamate/69d38fb1d2024cb829edfff57d...

>..or, business could open with the precautions they're taking and .. nothing happens.

Maybe. But probably not. The fact that this decision is being made with zero preparation is terrifying. There is no PPE generally available. There are no contact tracing programs in place. There has been effectively zero federal response or any form of coherent strategy released. Hell, you can't even buy hand sanitizer in the stores again yet. Of course we can't live in isolation forever. But absolutely nothing has been done to make reopening any safer than we were two months ago. And saying "welp, let's hope it just goes away", with no safety measures in place, is going to mean hundreds of thousands of deaths.
I guess you are technically right, but this part of the discussion is highly subjective. I was merely pointing out that the quoted statement was subjective and I wasn't using "hipster" as a pejorative - I was actually being somewhat sympathetic to their view.

Overall, my goal was to add to this discussion by pointing out the massive progress that has been made and also to show off my supercool signal path in the hopes that it would be inspirational to fellow geeks like me.

-- Perhaps such questions "should not even be dignified with a reply"? Whereas, hateful and unsubstantiated (beyond meme-level of "eeeeeeeverybody knows") assertions are "dignified by default", provided they are directed at the proper "subculture-specific outgroup du jour" that is.

[>> Is the phrase 'I am not even going to dignify that with a response' a response?]

[> Yes, it is a response. It's a way of saying that you are wrong while simultaneously cutting off any possibility of having you defend your views. There are times when it is socially appropriate to say this, as for example when someone makes an outrageous, false statement designed to be hurtful. But there are other times when it's just a manipulative tool.]

-- Or, is it perhaps "not worth their time", due to the assertion being "self-evident", not unlike how many things in life 'are(!)' "self-evident" (again, within specific subcultures). Like, say, "black people 'are' violent", "Mexicans 'are' lazy", "Jews 'are' greedy", and so on?

https://www.google.com/search?q=racial+sterotype+examples

-- Or, is it perhaps a lack of depth in domains such as psychology and neurology, where one can easily learn that there is often a stark difference between objective/shared reality, and perception of reality - which is of course, highly susceptible to invalid/inaccurate data in one's custom mental model of reality, as a result of "Occam's Razor rules-of-thumb", stereotypes, memes, propaganda, and many other complex psychological phenomena?

So many (timeless) questions, so few answers.

So much emotional passion to "do the right thing" and "spread the good word" (educate the small-minded, unthinking(!) others), so little interest in whether one's assessment of the situation is actually accurate.
Steve Duda, the developer of Serum is kind of the poster child for this. He contracts out for pieces of the synth (UI design, resampler, filters), but he's mostly a one-man shop and, as I understand it, Serum pays the bills.

It's hard to tell how much Duda is an outlier, though, and how many other people could succesfully follow his path.
You're pretty much off the mark, on every single point:

1) Most Windows VST .DLL's run just fine, unless copy protected - and even then, iLok can be made to work. You won't have a Catalina-level catastrophe on your hands, either.

2) Apps: This is the entire point of Ubuntu Studio - once done with an installation, you have an amazing suite of apps to try out, without requiring further installation/sourcing. Multiple DAW apps are available: Ardour, Rosegarden, Bitwig Studio, QTractor, LMMS, Audacity, Renoise, Tracktion Waveform, ZRythm, Radium - and even REAPER (one of the best DAW's in existence) is Linux-native now.

3) FL Studio runs great under Wine and there is no reason not to run it that way. It is quite stable and has not crashed on me, ever, after years of use. LMMS is also a viable alternative to FL Studio too, also very stable.

4) Ardour is excellent, and so is Harrison Mixbus and XDubber.

There are many amazing new-generation apps which are available in Linux native versions, too - see for example VCVRack, which performs better on Linux than it does on my Windows DAW ..

I am also a healthy man in my mid thirties, and like you, got infected and quickly recovered. That a was a month ago.

The point of the article is that corporate house buying is coming back strong, and much of this is centered around highly leveraged AirBNB properties. Redfin offers will be way under market (he states "more margin"), so owners are going to take a bath.

The real story here is that corporate buying will sink housing prices. Thanks to AirBNB.

Running Spark on a Kubernetes cluster is already pretty easy, so it is unclear what value this is adding. Controlling cost is the hard part. You may only need a cluster for 1 hour per day for a nightly aggregation job. Kubernetes clusters are not easy to provision and de-provision, so you end up paying for a cluster for 24 hour days and use it for only 1 hour. If someone comes up with a way to pay for pre-provisioned Kubernetes clusters only for the duration you use it that would be interesting.

Airlines currently are throwing incentives to cancel later vs earlier.

From airline's standpoint it's logical - as some states and countries lift the lockdown order the flights might actually take place on normal schedule. From traveler's standpoint it's also rational - I get a full refund if United cancels the flight, but "store credit" if I cancel the trip on my own. I also get the same United voucher whether I cancel the trip a month in advance or 48 hours in advance.

This affects any lodging reservation in a negative way, though - what looks like a steady supply of bookings months out turns into a series of cancellations closer to the dates of the stay.

I think that organizations, in order share information well internally, should make certain people "writers" who get extract information from their colleagues and convey it to the team. They would be like the secretary in a meeting, but more ubiquitous. This would be part of their job description and KPIs and compensation.

I've seen organizations I think would benefit from this kind of role (both in the technical sector, and outside it). Unfortunately, it's been void for a long time-- and one that's not able to be "enabled" by some new technology (meaning that organizations could have been doing it already if they saw value in it). I think the long-standing fact that it remains a void probably means it's an idea that won't ever gain traction.

I'd love to see some case studies or hear anecdotes about businesses that either had-but-eliminated such roles, or businesses that developed such roles.

I've worked in organizations where talented people handle this work adjunct to their "real job". I've been amazed and delighted to be able to refer to documentation in those organizations where it existed. I've also seen those people leave and witnessed the product of their work lay fallow and "rot".

I've seen some documentation come out of more scientific-oriented technical industries (think 'Theory of Operation' texts accompanying old lab instruments) that are just wonderful. I get a real sense of "we have our stuff together" when I see that kind of documentation in a Customer-facing situation, and it gives me a (potentially false, of course) sense that the manufacturer really knows what they're doing if they can bother to produce documentation like that in a Customer-facing scenario. ("Imagine how good their internal documentation must be?") Then again, I'm apparently an odd duck because I get a lot of satisfaction out of creating and using good documentation.
Hypothetically, if assassinating Gates, Buffett, and Bezos were a viable method of wealth redistribution, I don't think the idea would be to give everyone $1600. It would probably be more like "we're going to look at the median and top everybody up to that level."
For someone that doesn't want to watch, the essence of it is that space is world-space is divided in a tree-like structure, which makes traversing the scene as costly as traversing the tree, thus log(n) operations.

Depends on where the hardware defect is. If the defect is before the frame buffer (shaders, triangle setup, rasterization), then yes it will show up. If it’s after the frame buffer (CRTC, resampling and DAC), then no it won’t show up.
Thanks. This makes sense. I was wondering what these fluff pieces have to do with SEO, because surely the search engines aren’t monitoring all users and how long they spend on each page in order to rank the usefulness of the content in their search results.

Bounce rates and how long a visitor stays on a page matter for those who own the sites and/or do some sort of marketing on them (ads, their own products, their services, etc.).

Now we need an bot that parses the comments and applies AI to do . . . something with the people who say the substituted half the ingredients for what they had and left the others out to reply and tell them what recipe they actually made and that they can stuff their 1 star review.
Does it pose an actual problem?

When I search for recipes, I type in the food I want + recipe and then open the top 5 or so links. I quick scan for a list of ingredients. If I don't easily spot on in a few seconds I move on. I'll do this until I have a couple different lists of ingredients for making the item. This ends up taking less than a minute or two. That just isn't a significant portion of time compared to how long I'll spend comparing different recipes to find a common theme to follow.

Maybe it is because I never follow a single recipe but instead combine the common themes from a couple that the whole life story before the recipe shtick isn't something that bothers me.

They're being rightly trashed because it's a SEO tactic and nothing more. Between the preamble ranking them higher and Adsense requiring "substance" in order to monetise the page, there is a systematic issue that's leading to what is essentially useless information to what I would say is the majority of people.
