Yeah, all my audio equipment (keyboards, controllers, interface) is USB A and I don't see producers switching en masse (and even if they do, do I really want to throw away my favorite keytar?). The only exception is Roli block but Roli is kinda meh - fun to play every once in a while but not something I'd like to use every day to lay bass track or piano chords. I've disabled a ton of various background stuff like Siri but this setup is still flakey. If I were trying to make money on my music I'd be really pissed now.
Evidence left me with the same idea. With the amount of construction going on there’s bound to be a pile of bricks somewhere

Also cops were being very careful with bricks and in no hurry to dump/unload

> How does your company manage its encryption keys?

Poorly seems to be the answer industry wide. Both encryption and disaster recovery are hard tasks. Combine them and you have recipe for a total mess.
It will be great to include Penrose diagrams in LaTeX documents. But Penrose is implemented in Haskell and I'm pretty sure no-one would want to see what it would look like were it implemented in TeX!
Apologies, app posted reply to wrong comment.

Sometimes i read thing like this and I feel they are from a different universe.

I am the first port of call for IT issues of the whole family, including grandma. Like 10 people, and the last time we had issue caused by windows update was like 5 years ago when a laptop was trying to update to W10 from W8. That required a bit of manual intervention.

Game icons certainly arent there for me any more.

Whats the issue with Onedrive? I mean, its preinstalled, but you dont have to run it.
I don't think this is a positive development. It's already too easy to blackhole information that could be used to hold police accountable (body cams, arrest reports, etc.). This removes yet another avenue for citizens/journalists.
I spent less than ten seconds looking at the replies to find this - https://mobile.twitter.com/HiImKeith_/status/126764020133103...

"Apparently, this was North Eastern University police taking bricks off the street to not damage the campus. They were not staging anything but making sure things won't get damaged by bad actors. Source the original poster of the video."

Followed by the OP saying as much. Please don't post stuff like this without actually looking into it... It's misinformation
Well, I have had _some_ laptops even exceededing their advertised 10+ hrs battery life but only under a _specific_ configuration (basically the one it came with. An OS reinstall would kill the battery life).

Also, things have improved significantly in linux-land. Someone finally had time to turn off unused peripherals in the kernel and battery life doubled over night
Reddit is bad too. Apparently it isn't, but if you read it closely, you'll see it's all circlejerking and demonisation of the other side.

I think it is just impossible to have a massive internet forum to discuss politics without it turning into rubbish.
A list of things that can make your ICO a success
Funny you should ask, I made just the thing for you the other day:

https://quicksite.stavros.io/

It's just a git repo you can clone, so you own your site (it's not a service or a static site generator). It uses Lektor to generate pages (just because that's what I use, though I'm eyeing Zola as a good alternative), and it supports deploying to Gitlab Pages and Neocities with its CI config. You can also push the site to IPFS with one command (ipfs add -r pages/).

It's also trivial to host on Netlify if you want (just add the repo there). All these services I mention are excellent, but slightly different. Neocities is more of a quirky/indie website community, for example, which I love.
Good article, reminded me of another article about MPT which used it on cryptocurrencies - https://medium.com/@asankhaya/build-a-portfolio-of-cryptocur...
Is there a way of legitimately detecting Stingrays? I understand this is the kind of situation where they are actively deployed despite all the social awareness.
While that's interesting and I'm sure you know a lot about life there, my comment regards the perception of Soviet symbology, rather than the question of citizens and their experience. What does someone buying or appreciating a poster like this need to know about life in the USSR? Well, not much if the symbology has a hold on them. They buy it for the symbol and its subjective appeal first. Go back and re-read my comment and I think you'll understand this better.

This is more about people who are fascinated by any place or even just a poster style, even when they are mistaken about life there. It's a message process between their subjective perceptions and a symbol, rather than an objective historical survey.
Let me tell you about the horror that is vanilla pudding with vanilla ice cream. The textures clash in a way that is just.. terrible. But also kind of interesting.
I disagree. There are internal parts of the application that benefit from tracing, and if you are using the OpenTracing standard, tagging your traces with metadata can allow correlations in the data to stand out (something LightStep is good at). Tracing at only your edges wont help you discover that requests get slower for customers with some subset of features enabled with given settings, for example.
Vue 3 looks very much like they're just taking one more step closer to just being react, but made by a different company.
>When video conferencing or under high stress like running multiple VMs the system would miss key presses or mouse clicks. I'm not saying that the system was laggy, which it was, and it is expected. Rather, that I would type the word "macbook" and the system would register "mok", for example.

To the key missing part, my hunch is that this is happening because of software workarounds that Apple did on macOS to reduce the problems in their previous keyboards clusterf*ck.
I'm honestly baffled that you've never experienced an update that bricked your system - how long have you been using Windows?

Two years ago Microsoft released an update that killed Windows on my brand new (at the time) desktop (i7-8700k, gtx 1080). I thought "no big deal, I'll boot up my old desktop and deal with it later" but when I turned on that machine (i5-2500k, rx480), it applied the same update and also killed the Windows install. At that point I gave up on using a desktop for the day and booted up Windows on my laptop (i7-7700HQ, gtx 1050m), only to have that also install the update and kill the install.

I'd had Windows updates break before that, but always on one machine so it was easy to write off as some driver quirk or something weird I had installed.
But do you believe it would be totally clear that you should be convicted of a crime for failing to stop your commanding officer from committing a crime?
Naturally he could, but the feedback loop was broken, so he wasn't able to refine his compositions as effectively. A lot of late period Beethoven has aspects which are "off" somehow. But the fact that Beethoven produced something which was even coherent under those conditions is just mind boggling.
Well still the default mta on Debian, so it has some userbase, at least as a local mta. Might catch some by surprise, but maybe those systems should not have had direct exposure to the internet in the first place.
For concreteness, the Harnoncourt recording I had in mind is this one: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyXewGfDx5l0xsWKwAlHT.... According to the calculator at https://ytplaylist-len.herokuapp.com/ this has a total length of 147 minutes. At 1.25x speed it would be 118 minutes. I only did a very quick check, but playing it at 1.25x speed does sound comparable to other recordings I've heard. So I'm sure it's doable and would sound okay-ish. I know I have at least once heard a full (uncut) version on the radio that fit exactly into a 2 hour slot. Needless to say, I found it too fast.

But it's true that I can't point you to a specific two-hour recording right now.
except.. russia is an oligarchy.. middle east is mostly a dictatorship; i don't think you know what capitalism means, it's an economic system, not a system of governance

My wife is a customer, and initially I was irritated that she had signed up, since I viewed Stitch Fix as akin to the subscription services that send food, etc.

But being smart, I decided to avoid expressing my skepticism about how she was spending her money. Turns out that for her, it's a great idea. She hates to shop, hates to spend time shopping, but has to look professional for work. Like many women, she's not a size 0, so finding stuff that fits as well as looks good can be a challenge.

With Stitch Fix, they always send the right size. And the styling (as much as I can tell as a dude) looks fine. If you don't like something, you just send it back.

Prices are higher than I would have expected, but again, that's because I'm a dude who buys cheap stuff. Women's clothing is both more expensive, and less sturdy than much of what men wear.
Another TiddlyWiki fan here, I used to use DevonThink - which is pretty awesome, but less portable - it only runs on MacOS and has a barebones web frontend.
I could carry or host my OSX VM anywhere, and use VNC or such, but TiddlyWiki is much more portable as it is a self-contained html+js file running in the browser. I loose functionality, but there's search, tagging, linking and listing and a ton of plugins. It's good enough.
I used to think of the file system text file route as well, and there is this vimwiki, but as I'm used to browsing and looking up information in the browser TiddlyWiki is more convenient, and I can use SVG, mindmaps and diagrams. Emacs could be used to with the convenience of org-mode. There is also org-brain... all this is nice but is a bit more work and a bit less portable.

Regarding the potential slowing and bloating of TiddlyWiki, there is this filesystem plugin to link to local external images and documents. I use as much plain text, icons and svg diagrams as possible. I also segment several tiddlywiki's - perhaps at most 7.
Now I use:

* 'VR oriented development, which is very broad and can include WebXR, UE4, Quill, C++, C#, hardware, game development, cyborg antropology, psychology

* Spirituality (meditation, christian theology, hindu tantra and buddhist philosophy) and health

* Family and friends, non-violent communication

* Tasks, notetaking, journaling, habits - including shadow work journaling (semi-spiritual/psychological practice). Work or private related, there is no seperation.

Ideally TiddlyWiki could be mounted in a FUSE-like filesystem manner, more intuitive search operators or had built-in compression to make it even more speedy but it's good enough, just like my tweaked dvorak. Perfect doesn't exist. I don't complain, I love it! I can use it on my phone and on my Quest as well.

If one day my browser grinds to a halt due to a 20 Mbyte TiddliWiki I'll think of a solution then. I think at most I'm at 16 tiddlers a day on average.
No doctor is telling you to not go outside. The pills are for people who can't be relied upon to go outside enough (or if they do, simply cannot get enough sun to achieve a similar result). It's important to remember that doctors are human beings just like (presumably) you and me and know they're working with other human beings who sometimes (sadly) won't do the things that are absolutely best for them. They work with the tools they have.
Just like parenting, police should never resort to violence. Why? It’s a short-term fix that causes way more problems down the road.

So what kind of parents/police beat their constituents? Men who are angry and want to assert themselves as macho and in charge. It needs to stop.
100000% on the size of the trackpad. It's comically, needlessly large. The size of the 2012 generation's trackpad is the perfect size — big enough for your fingers to find it, small enough to barely even need palm rejection.
Feature request: synesthesia view ;)

Anyway, cool project, I hope it takes off. My only feedback would be that the minimalist website design makes it a little hard to parse information (especially the pricing screen).
It is utterly ridiculous to try to blame either, far right or far left wing organizations for what is happening in the US right now. None of these groups have the power to cause that much damage. I’d be surprised if the number of antifa/black bloc people in these protest is more than a tiny fraction of people, like in any protest. Yet the discussion is shifted to these groups as an explanation for violence and this entire thread is full of people arguing about whether the Antifa is an organization. The antifa doesn’t even matter. What is happening to this discourse?
I've always been more of a desktop user myself. My first computer I bought with my own money was a Windows laptop in 1995 when I went to college. Mac really wasn't an option then, Classic Mac OS was terrible for a CS student, didn't run any of the required software I needed, and were super expensive. That was pretty much Apple's darkest hour. Laptops were stupid expensive back then, so 1997, 2000, 2003, etc.. I built/rebuilt my own homebuilt desktops on the cheap.

2004 I got a Mac Mini.
2006 I got a Mac Pro.

2012 Apple pissed me off dropping support for the Mac Pro, so I went back to a homebuilt windows desktop. Actually used a case I had laying around from 2004-2005 as well. Less than 1/3 the investment of the Mac Pro. That machine is still in service now with just a better video card + SSD. Great machine, still very snappy, but I am getting tempted to rebuild it.

Also grabbed a Surface Pro i5 for $800 in 2017. Very happy with that machine, but it gets used for home consumer type stuff and not development work.

In the meantime I've had a whole bunch of Macbook Pros for work from 2012-2020.

The 2018 15" MBP I have right now is by far the most disappointing Mac experience..

A lot of my issue is that I work on a product that runs in Docker... docker sucks on Mac IMO, and most of my issues are around needing more RAM & CPU for hyperkit & docker to suck down.. but the Mac is rampant with high latency in the UI and other issues that drive me nuts.

- Keyboard is starting to fail, and it sucks, not even comfortable. I'm stuck at home so it's trickier for IT to give me a new MBP. When I was going to the office I could mostly ignore the KB and use external, circumstances around lockdown have meant more use of the internal KB issues.

- Hate the touchbar, never gotten any decent use out of it. And I use vi plenty of course.

- I have some of the palm rejection issues the blogger mentions but that's not so bad.

- OSX seems to be bottom of the barrel when it goes into swap, linux and windows both seem to handle high memory usage better.

- USB-C has been nothing but a PITA. Didn't need so many dongles with the older Macbook Pro and the USB-C doesn't buy me much. I have yet to have any device with a USB-C plug that can plug right into the MBP 2 years later.

- Quality of audio on the headphone jack is horrific on my 2018 MBP... it has the most noise of any PC I've ever had, not even in the same ballparks as my previous MBP which was great. Not sure what's going on here.

- Battery life on MBP is fine except when using docker or running builds. Then it's like an hour or two.
Looks cool, one small nitpick is regarding their cookies banner. You can click "preferences" and it says "To opt out of a category of data collection, set the toggle to “Off” and save your preferences".

Not only it is opt-out, but the mentioned "off" toggle doesn't even exist.
Ask HN: Why so much emphasis on robot automation, but not robot remote control?
During this pandemic, and so many people working from home, except for essential workers, it made me wonder about why only some people can work from home. A lot of essential work is only essential because we can't yet build smart enough robots to do them autonomously, but why don't we consider building robots that are just dexterous enough to do those jobs, but are controlled by people working remotely?

We have surgeons able to do surgery remotely with robots, which is a lot more complex, so it seems it should be possible to build robots that can do less complex labor controlled by a person. Plus, it would give us a chance to help address the high physical demands of some types of labor.
I live in Minneapolis less than a mile from the fifth precinct. There are in fact metric F-Tons of out of state cars in the neighborhood since late last week. Tons of violence tourists driving around gawking, and several cars with NO plates trawling around to boot. The thugaroos we've seen "patrolling", and who neighbors have had "friendly" chats with have been rural white guys feigning concern (White-knighting, one might even say) that we dont have enough guns to protect ourselves. The burning has been targeted at certain businesses that nobody local has beef with (Ie the post office- that racist institution, the gas station that everyone buys their gas from- even if you hate gas companies and hate standing in line, you recognize when you're hurting your neighbors).

Sure, the police haven't arrested many of these out of staters, non-community members, but they are most certainly here. They had to walk back their comments because they can't just say "but we're there in the community and we see it".
> Also, I suspect the non-US HN users are slowly getting fed up with this one topic capturing a large part of the online conversation.

Hmmm no I can't imagine that, could you describe your view more? Why would they be fed up, in your view?

> if your goal is to learn a new programming language, I don't see Zettelkasten being particularly helpful

I started using one to learn Erlang, and have found it incredibly helpful. Going down a wikipedia-style rabbit hole of my own notes is cool, like I'm exploring my own brain. Sometimes I completely forget how something works, and when I look up the note I took I just have to read a few of my own words to immediately remember it all.

I will say though that progress actually feels pretty slow compared to my usual strategy of just reading through books and articles once or twice, and then web searching whenever I forget something. But I guess that just has more to do with meticulous note-taking in general rather than the "zettelkasten" thing.

> you've already grokked a a for loop in other languages, and you gain nothing by creating a new linked note under the 'for loop construct' heading

So don't do that. Your notes are for you and you only. If you write useless notes, then the notes will be useless. Just write down what you think you might have trouble remembering later.
How much non-free would one need on something like a Thinkpad? I guess the wifi chip, what else?
I renerally assume that all work can suddenly dissapear unless saved to disk, duew to powercut or app crashing or whatever else. Autosave, etc.

If you do have some long task like rendering that takes hours, thats of-course trickier.
I'm surprised they didn't mention that someone in Chicago seems to have stolen a police radio and has been trolling them for days.
Two random thoughts:

First, one of my high schools had a workshop on how to study. One of the things they encouraged us to do is to take notes, but only a moderate amount of them. Some amount of note-taking can have a huge positive impact on memory and retention. But overdoing it is actually harmful. It's overwhelming.

The other is that, if there's one thing I really like from name-brand Scrum, it's the idea that you should strive to make each decision no more than once. Lots of deep deep planning ahead tends to maximize the amount of effort you burn on re-making decisions. And the decisions that are most vulnerable to this effect are the ones that you made the furthest ahead of time.
I'm sure 0+ was a typo :) ... but porkbun.com sounds interesting. I've been on GoDaddy for years but their UI and marketing is so spammy that a minimalist alternative would be a nice change. Thanks.
My "first class" remark is because it comes from Microsoft itself and isn't a third party plugin.
