International spotlight. There's protests on most continents.

Also, since you brought it up, has anyone seen the Epstein film? ...any mention of the Clinton Foundation /Global Initiative? Other political figures?
I think the point is that if every device did this from the start, there wouldn't be a market for anything but cables that work for everything (because a cable that doesn't work for everything then works for nothing), so all cables would just work, for everything.

That sounds pretty unrealistic to me, though.
Reference child, spew whataboutism. Nice comment.
It also only supports one OS since like 2012 (at least in the past I could run the Windows release in Wine), which may seem like a weird complaint, but it sucks when I need to make sure our web page renders okay for the one business guy who uses Safari and I code on Arch. Thank God for Browserstack I guess.
The first two links are about blue light affecting your eyes. Indeed there are many light inputs that affect your eyes. You have to understand that the cells in your eye are uniquely tuned to produce a chemical response to light. That's what seeing is. One also cannot discount the effects of your brain's interpretation of various light sources -- there are lots of horrific images that you can see, but the brain damage doesn't come from a reaction to the energy in the radiation, it's from your interpretation of what you're watching.

The next link suggests an increase in Alzheimer's disease from living near power lines. I am not sure how meaningful the results are; the entire document is caveats on how they selected which data points to use, the field strenghts are vastly different from wireless signals, and the frequency ranges are off by 5 orders of magnitude.

The last link is about a device designed to receive radio signals and apply electrical current to your spinal cord. If the radio waves worked by themselves, why would they implant a receiver?

You latch on to the "large number of antennas" thing, but it's not really a big deal. All the antenna array does is create interference patterns that control the direction of the signal. The antennas are excited with the desired signal with different phase delays, and then the interference results in some spots receiving 0 power (in an ideal case) and another spot receiving all the power. A friend of mine wrote a small simulation you can play with in your browser: https://apenwarr.ca/beamlab/. (The reality is that channel capacity depends on SNR, and while these do increase the signal strength at the receiver, they more importantly reduce the amount of noise that reaches the receiver. It is easier to null out received noise in a certain direction than to transmit power somewhere.)

In the past, we did this with carefully placed antenna elements that receive and re-radiate signals from another antenna element: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yagi%E2%80%93Uda_antenna (among many other designs). Now that DSP has become more powerful, it is possible to do it in software instead of hardware, and get better results. (Phased array radar have existed since the 70s. WiFi and 4G networks also use MIMO.)

I guess my summary continues to be: some sort of mechanism of causing damage will have to be proposed and tested. Maybe things on the very low end are bad (as your study [3] suggests). We know things on the high end are bad (don't get too many x-rays). But those effects roll off, and 5G is in an area where those effects probably don't exist.

Anywhere current flows through a conductor, radio waves follow. We have been using radio for 100 years, and we kind of know how this stuff works. I don't think there is any reason to worry (and many experts in medicine and RF agree with me).
Nice one :) Will give it a go tomorrow morning. On holiday at the moment though and I always bring the v60 but never the kettle. I always need to forage for something that can pour slowly and consistently!
Mobile devices are ignored because they are regulated to only emit at most 0.2W.

Compare that to visible light, which is the same thing, EM radiation, but because of the way higher frequency has 100.000 times higher energy density per Watt emitted.

In general, there are only two way EM radiation can cause harm: Number one is ionizing radiation. That is, a photon contains so much energy that it can, upon hitting an electron e.g. in your skin, hurling it out to become a free radical. For radiation to be ionizing, it has to have much higher energy per photon than the 5G frequencies. Radiation starts to become ionizing at wavelengsth of about 300nm (i.e. UV light).

The only other known way is through overheating tissue until it becomes damaged. As these frequencies are absorbed by water, which is part of practically every cell, this already happens in the skin - and if your skin warms up into damaging territory, you would definitely feel that.
The answer is you don't have to maintain the network on your own, your users will help you do it for you. One example is this - https://network.mobile.rakuten.co.jp/area/rakuten-casa/ it's a femtocell that is given away for nearly no cost to users and not only boosts network in your own house but also for people living near you.

> I'm not really seeing Chrome suffering from privacy problems coming from MIDI devices.

Here's a CCS paper detailing why it's a bad idea for browsers to expose HW details without careful consideration:

https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/publications/OpenWPM_1...

> if you aren't into making music or learning keyboard or what have you, I guess you wouldn't care about MIDI

Considering the aforementioned problems, why would it make sense for browsers to prioritize MIDI above all else? And I highly doubt your six year old would refuse to use native apps, given the chance.

> (native apps) are often a bigger threat

I choose my native apps with care. For many apps, moving to the web doesn't mean that I would have to stop caring about trust. It just means that I would have to start being more careful about which sites I visit if browsers keep on exposing random HW details.

> need to be made for each platform

If you're only supporting Chrome, then you've stopped caring about portability. You're making it the user's fault if they don't use Chrome.
The need for battery charging or replacement. That alone makes me shy away from them.
The entire reason PHP grew so wildly in popularity was because hosting providers made it so you could just FTP a file with a .php extension to a server and it ran. Apache was the default web server for shared providers because you could do per account config like url rewriting by uploading a .htaccess file. Virtually no one was configuring their own servers or installing Linux on bare metal for websites.
Your feelings are all wrong. Poll numbers say the majority of Americans support the protests. It’s definitely a low effort and poor comment seeing as you can’t even hit google up.
One use is aligning outputs:

char *prefix = "example";
char *line1 = "line 1";
char *line2 = "line 2";
printf("%s: %n%s\n", prefix, &n, line1);
printf("%*s%s\n", n, "", line2);

will output

example: line 1
line 2

That’s a bit more robust than using strlen(s)+2, where you have to keep that magic constant 2 in sync with ": ". Moving ": " to a variable and using strlen(s)+strlen(separator) would fix that, though (at the price of speed, unless you’ve a compiler that optimizes that away)
I specifically bought a charge-only USB-C cable so I wouldn't have to worry about plugging my phone into an untrusted port to charge.
If you watch more closely you'll see that this "almost good cop" shoved Gugino very hard, and is probably the reason he fell. This officer was holding his baton in both hands, and pushed both arms forward quickly just as the officer that "pulled him by the vest" braced him from behind for a very forceful shove. This happened at the exact same time the foreground officer straight-armed Gugino.

That combination would probably knock most people off their feet.
From the about page [1]:

Gary Hustwit is an independent filmmaker and photographer based in New York....

In 2007 he made his directorial debut with Helvetica, the world’s first feature-length documentary about graphic design and typography. The film marked the beginning of a design film trilogy, with Objectified, about industrial design and product design following in 2009, and Urbanized, about the design of cities, in 2011. The films have been broadcast on PBS, BBC, HBO and television outlets in 20 countries, and have been screened in over 300 cities worldwide. Workplace, a documentary project about the future of the office, was commissioned for the 2016 Venice Biennale of Architecture. His most recent feature film, Rams, about German design legend Dieter Rams with original music by Brian Eno, was released in Fall 2018.

Wouldn't work in this case though - the sound doesn't contain high enough frequencies to correlate well.
There are some interesting radio transmissions in the ~10kHz region: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_low_frequency

I am not sure how these signals come from power lines, which is what the study looks at. I would assume those are in the 50-60Hz range. (But we can use that band for communication too! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_low_frequency)
RxJava: What's Different in 3.0
I understand (from a friend who was at the school at the time) that at least one of the authors for one of the manuals was a teacher at Netherhall, the school round the corner from Acorn.

The BBC Micro was the reference point for the Computer Literacy Project, so developing understanding was a key goal.

Well, for starters afaik ‘other DAWs’ is not a large category on phones, at least on Android. And with how producers love monitors of 30" or more, I'd guess that it's not a realistic option. But no, this toy-looking app, whose knobs practically invite me to fiddle with them, is laid out great for a small screen. (Though not for very fat fingers.)

I've come to think that I'll need to pirate FL Studio Mobile just to take a gawk at how its interface feels in practice and to compare, then throw it away. Still, I've seen opinions that Caustic beats FL.

Productivity increased! :)
Despite React being around for 7 years, it still seems slower to develop, slower in performance, and buggier than an equivalent SSR app.

Despite having a couple years more experience in React than SSRs, I can knock out a 10 page web app with an SSR framework from scratch in a day (security, frontend, backend, data schema, deployment) but it takes me a couple more to knock out the same app in React. (Crud/Search/Reporting app)

*Not counting certain types of highly interactive apps (like a Word Processor) which React excels at.
This is pretty tangential, but it’s interesting to me that the examples use Mises, Hayek, and Menger. These are three famous economists that of which Menger is a shared ancestor in the other two’s academic-advisor-genealogy. In academic advisor genealogy being a direct descendant of one academic advisor just means that you had them as an advisor, thus since an advisor has multiple Ph.D. students It creates a family tree like structure. Anyways, I only learned this, because my Dad is actually an academic advisor descendant of Mises and Menger. Anyways if there is any Ph.D.s lurking here on hacker news in a mathematical field you might be able to find your own advisor genealogy here: https://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=200008
Thanks! Those Ian Hubert videos are amazing
To break down my comment:

Anyone who:

- produces content consistently for a long enough period of time,

- pays good attention to how their content is received,

- continues to adapt their content to what they find the audience wants,

- and is attentive in engaging with their audience's messages/comments/etc,

will find success eventually.

When all parts of this are met, there is no material difference between "all people who get big do x" and "all people who do x get big".

I understand that not all people will be able to do all of these things to a sufficient level, quickly enough to satisfy their desire for success, and those people will quit before they make it.

But I maintain that for media content creation (unlike, say professional sport), people who really want to find success in that field will be able to work out how to do it given enough persistence and discernment over enough time.
It's really excellent - I previously used Cubase and Ableton.
I implemented a solver for the computer hacking minigame in fallout 3 (? whatever one is the oldest with the hacking minigame)-- it was sort of a 'mastermind' but with words.

My solver eventually always won, without anything as fancy as reverse engineering the game. But to get there I had to both choose the option that maximized the information gain and look ahead many moves to make that estimation accurate-- the choices were non-independent so a simple entropy estimate (e.g. picking the choice closest to 50% on their heatmap) won't necessarily give the best play.

Sometimes the move that distinguished the answer list the best was was not the first move in the pair (or n-tuple) of moves that best distinguished the list.

By lookahead I mean for each ultimate answer, play out the game many moves taking all (or a pruned set of choices) and measure how much narrowing you get after several moves conditional on the first move.

IIRC without the lookahead the entropy based play was worse than playing the most likely choice, and with just the most likely choice my solver wasn't good enough to always win without retrying, so I had an incentive to overcome the local minima of using just the most likely.

Something similar might apply to this, as the geometry of the targets makes the choices non-independent.

But it sounds like taking the most likely choice is good enough in this game so perhaps they stopped their development there.
As a professional podcast producer I’ve been experimenting with moving my workflow to ios and have been absolutely smitten with this thing: https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/multitrack-daw/id329322101?l=d...

It has that “slower-workflow” but “you cant fuck up by misclicking” vibe, that i miss from older UIs.
Moving slower allows your mind to wander while working which can unlock some real creative thoughts.

First i have to pay up to 5% to receive the money, then I have to pay 5% again to get the money out of the platform. And if that wasn't enough, my purchase info and metadata is then sold to Google and Facebook. Now Facebook will get that for free and in return they can afford zero fees. With micro transactions the fees can be 90% of the total. With all social data Facebook has it will also be easier to deal with fraud and credit.
> I recently found out that one of these “home made” quality channels actually has a full on media crew behind the production! I was blown away.

Wait, it gets worse. If you have a teenage daughter you will eventually have the “25 year old pretending to be 16 year old with a full production crew shilling for xyz makeup brand.”

Assume that most of them have a full production crew.

Epiphany is what they call Safari on Linux: https://webkit.org/downloads :-). It's slow but works well for testing and debugging Safari-specific issues.
But Opera is still useful because it has a VPN (proxy really) built in so that you can reach sites blacklisted by various public Wi-Fi access points.
After the field of straw men and bad made up definitions the author does actually arrive at something resembling that conclusion.

> There is no single thing named "electricity." We must accept the fact that, while several different things do exist inside wires, people wrongly call all of them by a single name.
Awesome "historic" documentary. I just recently got into playing around with electronic music production, and went for Ableton as my DAW of choice for now. Reaper was a serious contender though, and I understand it's the weapon of choice for quite some semi-professionals and even pros.

Very interesting to see how it started like a toy project.
> should it be possible to patent compression algorithms?

I would say yes, at least for lossy compression, where the challenge is not about shuffling bits but finding semi-artistic graphical approximations of common video patterns.

I also approve of an industry-wide effort to patent-unencumbered solutions.
If the resulting combination is a machine that is useful, new, and non-obvious, then I'd call that an invention.
Huge cringe...
This is really excellent advice. Thanks for taking the time to write it!

> I can't understand why you are mentioning awk. Cut or choose cannot be compared to awk, awk is a programming language.

Because 99% of awk IRL use is just as a fancier cut.

It's very rare someone even sets a variable using awk. If you do it, you are a statistical rarity.

> Also I don't think that it's so much easier to use than cut. On the other hand every *nix system has cut so if you make scripts with it they are portable.

I, for one, never remember the syntax for cut. If "choose" gets a deb, I'll use it: Python slicing is something familiar to me.

I don't care if cut is on every unix system: if I have the possibility to install things on the machine, then I'll just install what I need. I have a script for that. If I don't, I'll google/man/--help GNU commands as usual.

And as for writing shell scripts, I use Python anyway.
From skimming that video, I don't think that's a DAW, in the normal sense? Can you use it to track guitars, vocals etc?
Well the fun use is using it to exploit printf format string vulnerabilities. Microcorruption has a fun level involving that IIRC.

Was Firebug still useful in the last years of its existence? It seems to me the dev tools have replaced all functionality. At least that's the reason why I uninstalled Firebug.
Shameless plug: I run a newsletter that teaches developers about blogging and SEO.

You can sign up for a 7-day challenge to publish one excellent, SEO-optimized blog post:

(Oh, and if I need to qualify myself, I grew traffic on one of my side projects (a content website) to over 100k per month primarily via SEO)

In terms of sources for SEO information and just getting started, I'd check out Brian Dean's guide (I haven't read through it thoroughly myself, but he's very known in the SEO world):

https://backlinko.com/seo-this-year

Another useful way of looking at this is to see the factors Google actually use to rank your content:

https://backlinko.com/hub/seo/ranking-factors

The Ahrefs blog (a tool for doing keyword research and competitor analysis) is also chock full of resources:

https://ahrefs.com/blog/

SEO changes all the time, I'd also recommend plugging into some communities or following SEO professionals on Twitter. Barry Schwartz is a great example of this:

These are just a few things off the top of my head.
What does this do that cut can’t?
It may seem obvious, but I think this needs to be repeated over and over again. Otherwise nothing will come from this mess, just warm words and symbolic measures
The question is: is FF the "better" browser over Chrome/-ium?

From a technical perspective: the differences are IMHO negligible. Last time I tried FF I couldn't tell any difference. The reaction time of the brain for visual input is something like 180ms(?) and Chrome and FF are faster than that for locally bound functions.

From a moral perspective: sure, Firefox might be the better choice, although the Mozilla Org has a fair share of controversies.

Usability wise: from my last evaluation: minimal. There are functionalities that I liked in FF more, and others in Chrome. So again: from my personal view negligible.

Then there is what I stated above: the memory of cursing about Firefox because it simply "sucked" and Chrome was the best solution for it, you can argue that without Chrome FF would still suck.

The first time I seriously considered switching was when Chrome announced that they would change their API to make uBlock origin's life harder.

So far, I cannot see a strong reason why I should put effort into switching. I run several businesses and projects, all of them are on Gmail and using other Google Services, I have one profile for each business in Chrome, including Chrome's password manager that is storing locally the passwords for all the accounts. It's a lot of effort to switch to Firefox and as stated above at the time of this writing I don't see why I should bother. I rather put in time to run my projects than switching to a different browser, because a lot of HN people are into rust, anti google or whatever.

Chrome is integrated with a lot of Google Products and this makes my work overall more efficient than whatever the switch to FF would gain me as of now.

That might change in the future, and, of course, YMMV.

Edit:

> Why did you reflect in the first place? Are you not interested in making rational decisions?

Actually, I didn't reflect about it until I read the comment of the original parent. I saw a lot of times the comment about "why not FF" on HN, whenever there was anything submitted about "fixing chrome".

To answer your last question: I also don't always force myself to make rational decisions. I DO get a Starbucks coffee once every couple months, I DO like to buy branded products sometimes even though it's not rational (running shoes for example). I DO engage in arguments online once in a while even though it adds not much to my life. So generally I am interested in rationality but I pick my battles and am ok with it when I just give in to my primal instincts. :-)
It probably uses similar techniques, but this attempt is much much more advanced:
