My TV already has higher latency than that and I manage on Rock Band just fine - anything that depends on A/V synchronization is generally aware of latency being a problem and has knobs for the users to adjust for it.

That being said, waiting multiple frames for video playback to start while audio buffers fill and transmit is a shitty experience - so it’s always good to reduce it.
Same. I only got bluetooth earbuds for going to the gym. I specifically got ones that are sweat and water proof because otherwise I wouldn't use them. Cabled earbuds are far superior in every other way.
Another evidence that linear algebra concepts are terribly confusing when layed out without geometric background.

This had been criticised for decades. Competently and popularly presented criticism goes back to at least as far as 1957 (Artin's Geometric Algebra; see discussion of determinants somewhere near the beginning) but linear algebra is still often presented decoupled from geometry.

I wonder though if there's purely algebraic approach to matrices that explains as much (or more) as geometric one. Maybe approaching algebra of matrices consistently as an example of category algebra could be illuminating.
All infra teams eventually become platforms. All product teams eventually become experiences. When viewed negatively this is called scope creep. I don't know what it's called when viewed positively but I expect the word "holistic" to be used unironically.

Org charts that ship a platform are default stable because everybody it a team or group is doing approximately the same things. Growth is less uncomfortable, advancement feels more objective, and individual developers are relatively interchangeable.

But what if a company needs to change? Now the stable org chart resists that change. By rejecting requests from client teams that are responsible for a new set of objectives. This recurses. One layer of platform can simultaneously be moving too slowly for the layer above and too quickly for the one below. Shear forces tear it apart and the organization finds itself with n (3 < n < 6) fewer platform engineers.

I got frustrated with the existing options for running automated QA tests (they are all super expensive) and decided to build my own for a fraction of the cost. It was super interesting as I am not really a developer so it taught me a lot about various programming languages (the frontend is written in Node and the backend is in Go), and so much about infrastructure. It was super rewarding as this is the first side-project that I didn't stop half way through :D
To me it seems like many are just rediscovering Dharmic religions but in a modern context.
The bubble is deflating instead of popping.

First, lower salaries for remote workers.

Next, lower salaries for on premises workers.

Then, lower salaries for everyone.

What they're trying to say is that there's deflationary pressure on wages.
Many people are proposing alternative solutions to this problem in this thread so here is my attempt:

I see the driving force of the data collection as the desire to make more money selling ads which is done by constantly trying to come up with new kinds of ads to sell and with trying to sell ads as better targeted (or offering better metrics on whether they worked or not) and therefore worth more money. I propose 1. a way to make increased targeting less valuable and 2. a way to make this data collection offer something slightly closer to the privacy people had before the internet:

1. An entropy based tax on selling advertisements. The tax should be proportional to minus the logarithm of the proportion of the ad-seller’s audience whom the ad is expected to reach. (Plus some requirement of auditing these numbers or updating them if they turn out to be wrong). This would mean that eg newspapers would not have a high tax because their ads go out to all their readers (but if they sold ad-slots which were region-specific then the tax would be higher), but some firm uploading a (small) list of emails they collected to google or fb would have to pay a higher tax as google/fb have a lot of users not on that list.

2. Behavioural data may not be used or sold when it is more than 30 days old. It may be used (in a non-ad-targeting) capacity after this time when it is part of the official records of the company that has it (so eg your bank can keep your transaction history and let you query it). Same goes for inferences or other derivatives from that behavioural data. This would hopefully add some forgetfulness back into the system.
devops should be done from 2 systems.

Dev (local administrator access ok, production access not ok)

Ops (local admin access not ok, production access ok)
The naive assumption about this is that it will be used to rally supporters with suspicious or specious “information”, but it makes me wonder about the opposite. With enough user data and backend analysis, you could probably also use it as a platform to depress or discourage the activity or engagement of users determined not to support Trump. Like providing incorrect info about local voting times, regulations, etc.
Follow Up: Samsung Player reboot loop maybe due to expired SSL certificate
can you add Australia? Please.
Yes the voltage is relative to ground for the logic state, the differential signaling requires a source of negative voltage and a more complex front-end, being relative to ground you just need a digital IO operating at 5v or 3.3v and a ground pin, no additional hardware (although current-limiting and pull-down resistors are suggested), as a result it can be fully and easily bit-banged. The twisted pair (where one wire is the bus and the other the ground) is one of the suggested approaches that helps to reduce the interference induced on the wire.
I didn't mind the issue in calculus. The first thing we did in analysis after being introduced the Bolzano weierstrass form was to prove that it was equivalent to epsilon delta proofs.
sighting wikipedia?
"An argument from authority (argumentum ab auctoritate), also called an appeal to authority, or argumentum ad verecundiam, is a form of defeasible[1] argument in which the opinion of an authority on a topic is used as evidence to support an argument. It is well known as a fallacy, though some consider that it is used in a cogent form when all sides of a discussion agree on the reliability of the authority in the given context.[2][3] Other authors consider it a fallacy to cite an authority on the discussed topic as the primary means of supporting an argument.[4]"

But seriously, OP contextualizing the source is not fallacious, it's an important and useful part of the discourse.
The Roots of Progress
I have found that work from home can make a bunch of time up in most people's day. That makes it easier to both spend time with my kids and talk about what it is I am doing right now. I see many more professionals with their kids at the park these days too.

Obviously, the current state of things is not likely to last but it seems like it might be a way closer to the goal
Context: many devices (affecting multiple blu ray players and home cinema models by Samsung) are stuck in a reboot loop since around Friday ; it's questionable if the situation can be fixed in any straightforward manner and not yet clear what happened. News outlets are starting to report on the story.

How to Transition to a Tech Career
I've been using ethernet cables at home recently, on account of having a bunch of work stuff here. Ethernet = better, more consistent throughput.

So I've settled on using rubber cable floor covers. They don't look very good, but they're perfectly practical: cheap, much reduced trip risk, no need to open up the walls or tape/nail anything to them to get everything arranged.

(Not sure how I'd feel about this on a permanent basis, though. Once it's back to just me, my laptop, my iPad, and my phone, the internet connection will be the bottleneck again, and I'll be switching back to nothing but wifi...)
One of the great challenges of the 21st century is that what the markets are rewarding seems to be tenuously connected to the public good, at best.
A year ago I used Reddit advertising to promote my dating profile
I have an antique Teletype set up to print news from the Reuters news feed, and it's stopped working because of this. So I tried this new approach via Google. All you get is the RSS feed titles, not the content. The "description" is just a link to content elsewhere, with the title as link text. The real Reuters RSS feed had a few sentences of copy for each story, roughly what radio stations would read.

Associated Press seems to have dropped their RSS feeds too, or hidden them well.

The New York Times still has a usable RSS feed at:

This gets me, in Teletype format:

No, it wouldn't, but I honestly couldn't care less about phones. It makes absolutely no sense to attempt to design a port that is good for both delivering power to tiny devices and also good for transferring forty gigabits per second of data, all while being durable and maintaining a good connection.
They failed to recruit me, because they couldn't convince me that I'd be involved in anything I'd actually want to have a hand in, or be responsible for.
You're right! So much of this essay can find a mirror in Vedic, Jain, Buddhist and Taoist philosophies (and numerous other schools of thoughts and philosophies). I don't think my ideas here are original.

My hope was that this essay would find resonance amongst those who might have difficulty connecting with these ideas in more religious, spiritual, or philosophical contexts. It was one of my goals while writing this to make it as accessible and plainspeak as possible.
>There is no doubt that MI5 was effectively rubbish in the spy vs spy games during the Cold War.

This is not even remotely true. At one point they knew of every single KGB spy in the UK.

Mentorship isn't the future it's the past and the ideal. We've had examples of this since Plato and Socrates. In the Indian tradition apprenticing under a guru has been THE way to acquire knowledge of both spiritual and artistic subjects like Indian classical music.

I don't remember any action sequences, so they must be minimal. It's a point and click adventure.
Eh, my “cheap” TRENDNet stip+crimp tool does the job just fine. I’m not a heavy user, but I’ve done well over 50 terminations with it and every time I’ve had an issue it’s due to myself doing a shitty job inserting the wires into the connector.
> The blunt reality is that the country I've grown up in was facilitated by bloodshed and presumed superiority. Every step of the founding and growth of "America" was paid for by the blood of others.

That's true of every country. I agree we should not try to hide it; these are indeed historical facts, and historical facts should be recognized, not hidden. But we should also not imply that America is somehow different in this respect from other countries. It isn't.
I learned abstract linear algebra first, and didn't learn geometrical interpretations until I taught myself many years later so I could write an asteroids clone in svg.

I don't think it was a pedagogically a problem, except I couldn't bring myself to care about matrices when I was learning them... It was very easy to take my abstract knowledge and apply it, and for me it might have been harder the other way around.

In retrospect a hybrid applied/theoretical topic (like reed Solomon encoding and recovery) might have perked me up. But I might have also been a strange case.
New Medicines #6
I appreciate the help, though I've looked inside my ports before and found neither dust nor lint. The problem seems to be mostly with cheaper stuff. I've mentioned this to USB-C enthusiasts before and gotten back, "Well, just by better-quality stuff." The difference is, I never had any problem with the connection on cheap USB-A devices. If the connector seemingly can't be made both cheaply and well, that is a huge flaw with the standard and means it ought to be abandoned wholesale.
Aluminium welding is somewhat hazardous to my understanding. If I remember from talking with a metal smith in my family, it can give off some pretty noxious fumes. Apparently it can even yield Arsenic and Florine fumes (CDC website mentioned those, among others). Again, if I recall correctly, something like a full-face P100 acid-gas mask is usually enough.
In the bay area this is not true.
Also, Technobabylon, published (but not developed) by the same people, Wadjet Eye.

I can personally relate to this. I am a university student and living the past few months with my dad working from home, has taught me quite a bit about money management, the workplace, how R&D jobs feel like, and much more that nobody ever thought to tell me about without asking.
"In moderation and with self-awareness" is the same argument typically used for the licitness of drugs, alcohol, nutritionally devoid food, and dozens of other externality-generating vices.

Yes, they frequently replace deficits in an individual's life with something that would otherwise cause them to disrupt the status quo. The question remains, at what cost? Is it sustainable? Are these activities robbing some humans at the expense of others?

Consider a YouTube video: Water Bottle Flip 2. It's about five minutes long and has been nominally viewed 300 million times, plus change.

That's approaching 3000 years of human time spent for a single video on a single service. The audience was probably entertained for that period but at what cost? What could have been in that lacunae? What else could have been accomplished or learned with that 3,000 years? What was the opportunity cost? For the countless children who watch it, what part of the pre-Internet childhood shared by all human history is being sacrificed for it? What part was sacrificed for the 23,000 years spent on Baby Shark?

I don't disagree that there is a place for moderation and art, but what we're seeing on a grand scale is that the ascendancy of cultural forms that enable moderation are themselves being consumed or otherwise blanketed out with dopamine levers that are the first thing many people touch in the morning and the last thing they touch at night. That's not playing guitar, restoring vintage computers, or collecting Magic cards. That's a massive undiagnosed public health crisis.
They're exploiting beacons for free location info.

"The use of Bluetooth is especially notable because it can capture data and target people with political messages as they travel through a physical space. This practice has jumped to politics from the advertising industry. In one recent example, Bluetooth beacons (the radio transmitters used to track cell-phone users via Bluetooth signals) were found in campaign yard signs [https://mashable.com/article/beacons-location-tracking-repub...]. In another, people were surveilled using these practices when they went to church. Our team has been exploring how this phenomenon—which we term geo-propaganda—has increased."
You can make it without refueling, but maybe not if you start with less than half a tank. That sign means better fill up now!
I personally don't quite agree with the thesis of the essay, but it is good, and this point is really insightful.

Children have no idea what 'work' is, or why it's done, or even why they are obtaining and education - in my own experience I feel as though it took 20 years of 'actual work and deprogramming' for me to finally 'get it'.

I think that kids having real jobs from an early age is a really good start - doesn't matter what. Sweeping up, flipping burgers, the 'sandwich cart guy/girl at the golf club'. This is a good start.

There's a young kid at my local Chinese Food shop who's maybe 8 years old, and he works there, it's a 'family business' it seems absolutely and perfectly normal, 'healthy' in fact (without knowing all the details). I'm inclined to think this kid will be a little more mature for his age than otherwise.

U Waterloo has 5 year Eng programs that focus on internships, only in hindsight to I realize how infinitely valuable internships are. I think these could be made much more open.
IMO Linux desktop needs more than one settings panels. I always need to edit by gconf-editor or editing /etc/, ~/.local/ .
> The passage you shared is beautiful, but it's not quite registering how the essay evoked it for you. Can you say more?

One thing I take away from the excerpt is that the person we present and feel ourselves as during interactions with others is not exactly the same as the person we are alone. There isn't necessarily an element of deceit to this. Instead, we should pay attention to both selves -- and to me much of your essay is about paying attention to the person we are when we're alone, and being aware of differences between the two selves, without necessarily needing to reconcile them.
Ask HN: How do you take notes when reading a book?
For example, I'm currently reading Designing Data-Intesive Applications and am taking notes digitally on OneNote (one page per chapter).

How do you guys do it?
Is that one worth a read? I know it had mixed reviews.
We like Storybook a lot. It's made communication between Design and FE a lot smoother. I wouldn't say it clears up all ambiguity, or eliminates all redundancy, but it's a noticeable improvement over relying on institutional knowledge alone!

When I joined about six months ago, the team was already using it, and keeping it up to date had become ingrained in the culture. I had nothing to do with it, so I can say it's been a good decision.

I have no idea if it's catching on in the wider world! Anecdotally, of the five places I interviewed at last year, two of them claimed to be using it.

Printing each story exactly once is tough. The RSS feed serial number thing never worked. Sites with multiple RSS servers and a load balancer would return a different serial number. I ended up taking the MD5 of the title and description fields, with HTML markup deleted, and discarding new feed items with a duplicated MD5.
Umm that's only some of the information that pertinent. It might also be pertinent that the other candidate cheated on his wife with a male prostitute and used campaign find to pay for an aide's abortion, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't put that in the ad as well.

Incomplete or biased information can be worse than no information...
ideally 99% of all companies shouldn't even have a platform team, but buy a platform from professionals.
Hi there - are you running Jina in Docker on your local machine? We recently updated the docs at https://github.com/jina-ai/jinabox.js/#jinaboxjs-in-action to explain how to get started.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions or feedback!

Yeah, that sucks.

Did the camera send SEI Picture Timing messages? RTCP Sender Reports with NTP timestamps? Either could potentially help matters if they're trustworthy.

I haven't encountered that exact problem (large fixed offset between the streams), but I agree in general these cameras' time support is poor and synchronizing streams (either between main/sub of a single camera or across cameras) is a pain point. Here's what my software is doing today:

https://github.com/scottlamb/moonfire-nvr/blob/master/design...

Any of several changes to the camera would improve matters a lot:

* using temporal/spatial/quality SVC (Scalable Video Coding) so you can get everything you need from a single video stream

* exposing timestamps relative to the camera's uptime (CLOCK_MONOTONIC) somehow (not sure where you'd cram this into a RTSP session) along with some random boot id

* allow fetching both the main and sub video streams in a single RTSP session

* reliably slewing the clock like a "real" NTP client rather than stepping with SNTP

but I'm not exactly in a position to make suggestions that the camera manufacturers jump to implement...
Yes, I felt the same way, but it's really a big deal because our 'social progression' is not lining up with our 'biological progression'.

The reproductive process is more than 'sex, parts and birth' it's about the social condidtions that drive it, and it's obviously essential to our survival. So it's scary.

And FYI - when people actually do start to want to settle down and have kids, the 'finance' issue will hit really hard. Sister has 3 kids, she's a Director and her after-tax income basically pays for daycare and not much more. She works basically to maintain status, so when the kids are a little older, she's still earning well. That's nutbars.
Employees working in the India/UK/EU office for an American company already make much less than their US colleagues for the same work.

If one were to measure the cost of living in real terms in a place like India beyond lower rent and cost of groceries(reduced life expectancy due to pollution and higher rate of road accidents for example), it's even worse.

On the other hand just getting into a FANG/unicorn in India is enough to defacto push you out of the middle class by any measure.

I guess my point is most folks never had it as good as some others for the same work even before remote took off. It all boils down to the local market for labour unfortunately. If your job doesn't require you to show up in a Bay Area office, you're competing with a much larger talent pool.

There are a lot more people who can solve inane Leetcode problems outside the Bay Area / whatever American $CITY
That’s cool, sorry about that.
>[...] almost NO experts ANYWHERE in government are good at their jobs.

Doctors at the NIH, scientists at the Department of Energy, biologists at USAMRIID, etc etc etc.

All bad at their jobs? What kind of absurd reductionist take is this?
(WARNING: This is a socio-political meta rant.)

Alas, the 'jugadification' of India, in the face of fickle extractive governance systems (incl. the current one) over from the past 1000 years, has led to a situation where rules are essentially seen as another imperial imposition, meant simply to be overcome, either by hook or crook.

Not that I blame them - the Indian constitution itself is almost entirely based on the Govt. of India act, which at the time was meant to 'seal' India's fate as an imperial plunder house (unlike those with White settlers). It shows too - reading the case judgments, even those of the Supreme Court in Delhi, just shows how alien these systems truly are in India (even after this many years). Of course the fact that it's all done in his master's 'imperial tongue', doesn't help.
