I cannot do facade at all but I could comfortably be me under certain conditions: under low noise environment both physical and information, if I am not stressed out for another reason. I do feel awkward if I present something and I am not prepared but under certain conditions also I can wing it out nicely. It does depend a lot on whether I fit in within a group or not. If you think about it, forcing it when it's not there is really not very productive.

I am still not sure whether I am on the spectrum and wouldn't help me out much to be diagnosed, I've accepted a long time ago that I am somewhat different from the norm but not necessarily in a bad way, I simply am not a very good speaking person - I do excel in other modes of communication, just not with words. But I guess with hard work one can train to perform something that they're not natively apt to do just to get the job done, one doesn't have to strive to be best because that puts too much pressure and leads to stress. I hope you be compassionate and comfortable with yourself:)

Let me ask you one more thing. Do you dance at all? If not can you describe why not? I'm very curious.
Considering how many problems they have with SSNs, Equifax, voter disenfranchisement, and the patchwork of pseudo-IDs they have, they badly need a single ID.

And "many" countries is basically the 10 or so English/British-derived countries. Look at the list I linked :-)
Speaking of that, I need to find time one of these days to research what the hell "a memo" is. I understand it was a piece of paper of sorts, used in a way similar to how e-mails are used today, but I don't understand how they were delivered to people, what was the equivalent of MTA there. I know how to use the word in writing ("I didn't get the memo"), but not much more than that.
When something similar happened in 2016, I read that Autopilot will tune out bright objects against a bright sky.

I’m imagining that a low-dynamic-range camera may see certain tunnels/underpasses’ exits as bright white objects blocking the road. The above article refers to a now-deleted Musk tweet that says something similar.
This is all nitpicking about process and doesn't change the ultimate conclusion regarding Congress's power. Name one other branch of the federal government that has the power to change what the constitution says. Not what it means, but what it actually says. If one does not exist besides Congress then Congress has plenary power.

Counterpoint.

Your users won't read the documentation. Get used to it.

Odds on your developers won't either.

Take care when you do read the documentation, it's probably out of date and / or wrong.

Ask HN: Detecting Manipulation of HN Voting
I can’t believe i’m writing such tinfoil hattery but... is it conceivable that there are accounts who have reached the 500 points to unlock down-voting and are now engaged in coordinated manipulation?

Does anyone perform any analysis of correlated voting patterns on HN? Is such log data available for analysis.
Exactly, and each one of the fraudulent votes would consist of a separate felony. So you'd have to wrangle enough people into your conspiracy and convince them all to commit several felonies without having any idea how close the election was going to be.

It's not a coincidence that it's an extremely effective way to target "specific" voters in order to depress turnout either.
I used to blog quite regularly about a decade ago - but somewhere during my final year of uni I became insanely busy plus lost motivation. and it watered down with just a few occasional blogpost inbetween either for myself of guest blogposts for companies.

Since about half a year ago I blog semi-regularly on Medium. I know a lot of people on here don't like Medium links - although I had a few on the frontpage which was motivating.

To answer your questions:

1) I don't have a concrete one - I stumble something that peeks my interest, I try to understand the topic and then write down my thoughts on medium. Most of it is about Go.

2) I started in high school thinking my blogposts might help someone. I followed a lot of blogs myself and just liked the idea. It wasn't hard to start - as a teenager you always think you know everything so you're pretty careless. That didn't stay. :P

3) Honestly - I have no good answer to this because I regularly lose motivation. What I will say though - for all the dislike towards medium - seeing my stats does make me want to write more. A few of my blogposts are spontaniously shared on reddit / twitter, and are the first search result in google. So it generates daily traffic. I enjoy the idea that I'm actually helping people find an answer.
This is a great question and I don't think I have a good answer. Here are some options:

- Some sibling comments have noted that you can built Dexed for Linux. If you can give that a shot and get it to build and run MIDI to it, it's one of the easiest ways you can get things going.

- If you're not partial to the OS you're using (unlikely for most people, I know), give it a shot on OSX.

- Otherwise, you might want to give KXStudio [1] a shot. It's an Ubuntu distro built by Paulo Coelho (@falkTX), who did some great work building Carla [2], which I believe is an evolution of dssi-vst [3]. dssi-vst uses the VeSTige emulator (which may be Wine based) and built a VST to DSSI adapter layer over it; I believe @falkTX forked dssi-vst, improved it over time and eventually came up with Carla. You could use Carla to run an instance of windows Dexed.

- Be aware that it's tricky to get a stable driver chain working properly with Linux (and I suppose you could say the same for Windows, too). You'll want to use a community blessed audio interface and other system components in your computer if you want the highest likelihood of stability. Results aren't guaranteed.

Personally, after multiple tries over the past ten years with a variety of hardware, a combination of bad luck and lack of time led me to give up and go back to the old reliable option, which for me is OSX. There's nothing worse than being in the middle of working on a track with your inspiration going, only to have your computer freeze and reboot losing your last half an hour of work if you forgot to save. But I'd love to be able to stay use Linux for music software.

Frankly, @falkTX's work with KXStudio is impressive, and it continues to evolve. Maybe there will come a day in the future when I can finally make the leap again.

This comment breaks the HN guidelines. Read it closely: it's completely generic other than a shallow response to a single word in the title ("facing"). It offers nothing but the exact same indignation that has been expressed thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of times already. It is, in fact, a perfect specimen of a generic comment, the kind we don't want here because it makes discussion repetitive and ragey: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

Therefore, please don't post like this to HN. Repetitive indignation is the opposite of curious conversation, and we seek the latter. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Disclaimey bits:

1. No, I'm not siding with Facebook or whatever; just with the intended spirit of HN. A comment like this breaks that spirit while seeming to be on topic.

2. I don't mean to pick on you personally. It sucks to be singled out and there is zero intention of shaming here. I'm just picking on this particular comment, about something that we basically all do at times.

Preseeding is a beautifully built technology but it isn’t very relevant today.

It helps answer questions like partitioning and encryption that is hard to do on a running OS, but really everything else can be done once the OS is installed and running. The development cycle in creating a preseed config that actually does everything you want is painfully slow compared to writing shell scripts / playbooks / cookbooks for a running system.
Because we also have a kletptocracy where the government is designed to serve the wealthy, it's not about being worse by any margin, it's about pointing out what needs to change.
this make absolutely no sense. as one reply pointed out, are they going to shutdown their feed every time something happens? maybe i'm just too involved in AA, so i like the whole concept of "we have no opinions on outside issues". rust is doing the opposite of this. to me, if the individual core team members want to take stance and not tweet, that's fine, but the organization as a whole shouldn't.

That's only ever fair if you have instant registration with provisional ballots - many jurisdictions combine these attacks on the vote with long lead times for voter registration so you go to the polls to find out you aren't registered and are left with no recourse. Of course they use dirty lists to begin with that remove thousands of properly registered voters, which I'm sure is accidental and not at all hostile to democracy.[1]

I'm so tired of groups actively suppressing vote and people insisting it's all well and good since hypothetically it's preventing some type of fraud that has never been shown to happen in practice.

I think this article misses out on what in my opinion is the biggest reason to go to college for a teen and it all has to do exploration. Simply put you don't know what you don't know and at 17-18 that can be a lot. College gives you an opportunity to explore who you are and what you care about in an environment largely free of external stress (yes I know there can be stress but it's generally a lot different than "I need to provide for my family"). A lot of people are super confident in what they think their life path is until they actually encounter the steps it takes to get there. Generally we do a pretty poor job of educating young people on what different careers actually look like and what it takes to get there. There are a million lawyer and doctor shows but it's a lot harder at 17 to know that you'd actually love to study library science, or be an economist.

At 17 I thought I wanted to be a sport journalist or shoot rockets into space. Turns out I had zero interest in the path to ESPN and am terrible at chemistry. Sure looking back I can totally see that computers made all the sense in the world but I didn't recognize that then. If I had bypassed college and just started working to get to one of those paths I saw for myself who knows where I'd be. This is not to say that college is the only place where you get this freedom to explore, but colleges, especially good ones certainly encourage you to explore other options.

I think ideally your last year of high school would be nothing but career exploration, but failing that I recommend most teenagers go to college even if they think they know what they want to do.

I'm moving to a new location in SF and I'm seeing rents plummet. My landlord dropped rents across the board by about %20 (after ignoring my email for a rent decrease...). My new apartment is a pretty big down size but is nearly 1/3 of my previous. Rental groups on Facebook are showing a similar decrease in pricing.

More anecdata, but as a resident who IS moving I really disagree with your take - we're probably both right in different ways.
This isn't a neural network edge case/common sense issue; this is an issue with the radar sensors that Tesla is using for driver assist.

Specifically, radar is noisy — it will constantly detect non-existent "stationary" objects in front of the car. Driver assist systems therefore ignore any objects which are stationary on the road — if it didn't, then the car would stop erratically.
I'd pick 1. I don't believe news is some sacred service that must exist. Of course, if it were, the government could provide it, but it might cause issues with independence of state and the people, depending on the type of government. So, it's a service based on the free market, thus it must compete on the free market, no?

It seems like you believe that news is sacred, so your conclusions will differ from mine as we draw from different axiomatic beliefs. If that's the case, we won't be able to convince each other.
Do authors have rights to be compensated? If I go to a library and take out a book, the author doesn't get compensated again. The book may be read by hundreds of people but it was only paid for once.

If I lend a book I own to a friend, the author doesn't get compensated again. It's my book, not the authors, and I can let anybody I want read it.

There has never been an expectation that authors get compensated for each person who reads a book. The system has never worked like that. A book is a physical object and authors get compensated for each physical book that gets sold.

It's only with the recent advent of ebooks in recent decades that "pay per reader" has even become technologically possible. Since the 90s.

There will be some new differences. Multicore is bringing in some new concepts–e.g. domains (an abstraction for system threads). Perhaps down the road the existing concurrent programming libraries like Lwt will abstract all that away and preserve their existing interfaces. Remains to be seen.
I'm opposed to all of those as well.
> it's pretty simple thing to notice, humans can solve it with vision only

Yes.

Unfortunately, this wasn't human vision: it was computer vision.

When both systems succeed, they by definition succeed similarly: I say by definition, because human vision is the only judge of computer vision's success.

When they fail, they fail completely differently.
I guess it can be viewed that way.

As much respect as I have for the moderation team on HN, this time I will respectfully disagree -- but I will improve the website by restraining myself from commenting on such hot semi-political discussions in the future.

That would be best for everyone, I believe.

---

EDIT: (after your edit): Rest assured, I am not taking it personally nor will I "attack" or press the matters further. I agree my comment wasn't well-spirited and was dismissive.

It's just that sometimes I get tired of what I perceive as virtue signalling.

But I agree that it's best to keep that opinion to myself and not add negativity to the forum.

Thank you for bringing this perspective. I feel I actually needed it.
In the example code from the readme:

UserInterface.model({
name: "children",
method: UserInterface.appendChild,
properties: {
tagName: "div",
className: "model",
children: [
{
tagName: "div",
className: "child",
textContent: "My first child"
// and so on..
}
]
}
});

vdom was probably the wrong terminology for me to use. What I'm getting at with that is that your properties are like a virtual dom tree.

The majority of what I see being painful to use here is caused by exposing all of that manual boilerplate. You can do something equivalent with a hyperscript-like syntax:

h('div.model', [
h('div.child', 'My first child')
])

Or with JSX that compiles down to what you have in your `properties`:

<div class="model">
<div class="child">My first child</div>
</div>

You could even trivially add a helper function with low runtime costs that makes it easier to write out the properties. Just using `h` here since it's like hyperscript, but you could call it something better:

function h(tagName, attributes, ...children) {
return {
tagName,
...attributes,
children
}
}

That alone would make it easer to read and write properties. The example would become:

UserInterface.model({
name: "children",
method: UserInterface.appendChild,
properties: (
h('div', { className: 'model' }, [
h('div', {
className: 'child',
textContent: 'My first child'
})
])
)
});

There are other things that you can't fix with syntax changes, though. For example, each model defining the `method` used to add it to the parent seems backwards to me. Shouldn't a component only care about its own state? Down the road, if you wanted to add one of these `children` things to another element by prepending it rather than appending it, you'd have to have to change the child.
The author seems to argue:

- Small size is not always better, especially when the wait may be worth it for the audience

- Minimalistic design is not always necessary, and in fact it's a good idea to take some risks in the other direction, if it could result in a desired outcome

- Google doesn't have an intrinsic right to dictate best practices. In fact, the idea of a single set of best practices runs counter to the spirit of the web, in which a website can be a creative or cultural experience which transcends convention.

- In addition, on that last item: The web _can be_ more than what it is now. So monolithic standards could easily get in the way.

- Google is going to hold an event and tell visitors how to conduct "modern web development." The author is not comfortable with Google's singular focus on Google's preferred standard and mode of web development being The Only Way, so they are going to attend and push back.

It's a good post. Even the headline by itself resonates in a lot of different ways, especially if you've spent a lot of time on the receiving end of Google's dev messaging.

Speaking more broadly, quite often the blanket design advice given to web enthusiasts and subjective-values-driven creatives comes from the economic side of the web. It starts from "don't annoy your users" and draws a (suspiciously) straight line from there directly to "Largest Contentful Paint". This represents a potentially huge, complicating energy drain for a project that may have a lot of other important design parameters to start with.

In another way, it changes the question. The web wasn't designed as a way to get your customers really specific information as quickly as possible. There's so much more to it than that.

A lot of HN users are researchers from the economics-first side of things though, not artists, so this may be a bit hard to understand. It's like hearing yet another friend tell you they've signed on for a liberal arts degree.

Such researcher-consumers (who incidentally write some amazing online reviews, but that's another story) are also well known for getting frustrated at the slightest delay or sales pitch. Art on the web can end up, therefore, being perceived as a broken web experience, a bad sales pitch for an ephemeral and vapid product, as opposed to something which inspires or changes viewpoints. "I can't even find the site map!"

The web doesn't even have to be users-first--quite often what's best is a series of standards and compromises that alternately put creators and users first at different points.

There are no brake lights on the Model 3. None at all. Based on this "reverse video", my conclusion is that the M3 doesn't even brake.

Somewhat worrying is the pedestrian (the truck driver?) who jumps back to get out of the way of the M3. Not only did the M3 miss the truck, but the M3 didn't seem to see the pedestrian either.
