Normal people won't tolerate being on the same forum with huge assholes. Especially assholes who are bigoted, rather than just generally angry/jerk-ish. The far right happens to contain a lot of this kind of person.

The far left has people who are also very angry, but they're generally not as bigoted. The demographic they're most angry at is rich people, which is punching up instead of down at least.

And most of the rhetoric there simply isn't as vile. It's stuff like, "take rich people's assets so we can redistribute it equally". I may not agree with seizing wealthy people's stuff, but that's nowhere near as offensive as "kick out all the gay/non-white people".
Depends on exactly what I'm doing -- mostly XCode to write C or C++ and then one of a variety of cross-compilers either native on the Mac or in a Linux VM if there's not one available that runs native on OSX.

I also use Netbeans and Eclipse depending on what tools I need. Eclipse for Rust and FreeRTOS (just easier that way), and then VSCode sometimes but it's often just such a pain to setup. Subethaedit or BBedit (Textwrangler RIP... :( ) for a lot of stuff as well.
This makes me want to get a radiation detector to test the places where I hang out.

What a "so". There's simultaneously so much confidence and so much innumeracy packed into it.

It's impressive how much a mere two letters can communicate.
Yes. We made the strategic decision control production, already have our own 1000m2 factory with heavy equipment enabling nearly full internal production and absolutely intend to build tens of thousands of units ourselves. Incidentally this means we can produce far more cheaply than if we had outsourced through contract manufacturers (default approach of foreign foodtech firms), and also in conjunction with modular design means we can pivot rapidly should we generate upgrades or revisions to hardware. You would be surprised how much convenience matters in the food retail market: the consumers tend to see only the immediate itch-scratching option, and mentally discard the competition. Just look at the recent explosion of 'food' in convenience retail chains globally since around Y2K, reportedly their largest growth area for decades.
Openness aside, working under constant pressure with crazy deadlines also paves the way for ugly/barely tested/hard to maintain code. Game studios often have extremely strict deadlines, but I've experienced this pressure also when working in government software; this code looks like examples from Dr Dobb's compared to the pile of crap we sometimes could barely stick together in the old days.
engineer

/ɛndʒɪˈnɪə/

Origin:

"Middle English (denoting a designer and constructor of fortifications and weapons; formerly also as ingineer ): in early use from Old French engigneor, from medieval Latin ingeniator, from ingeniare ‘contrive, devise’, from Latin ingenium (see engine); in later use from French ingénieur or Italian ingegnere, also based on Latin ingenium, with the ending influenced by -eer."

No worries, happy to hear any feedback!

Yea Safari and Chrome responsive design modes are great. This just allows you to have many device sizes open at once without needing to open multiple browser windows.

It’s great for people doing QA on your website as well, saves a bunch of time not having to switch back and forth between browser sizes.
How, specifically, would you change that, then?

Because people on the other tribal side of the argument to you are immediately skeptical of the motivations behind your stated goals, expecting anything you would actually propose doing to end up hurting them, even though they actually see similar problems to you (just expressed differently- see 'wagie, wagie, get in cagie' on youtube for how 4chan sees the rat-race, for example).

So- someone makes you the emperor of the US. What do you do?
It seems like it matters that the people riding horses and motorcycles are choosing to do that. No one chooses to have a radioactive cloud come kill them.
Actually, there are 192 kHz sound cards.

As an example, I just picked the first microphone from mouser who's datasheet includes ultrasonic spectral response. In this case it's a roughly 321 mm package with the acoustic port in the middle of the annular ground pad, likely requiring a hole/via below.
https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/PUI-Audio/AMM-2738-B-R?q...

Here's the datasheet: https://www.mouser.de/datasheet/2/334/AMM-2738-B-R-1761381.p...

It is not nearly as flat above 8 kHz as below, but it's between -35 and -28 dB (V/Pa) in the 20 to 80 kHz range. Nominal sensitivity is -38(+-1) dB (V/Pa) between 20 Hz and 8 kHz. What this means, is that a 24bit 192 kHz ADC with relatively flat response and no extra pre-amp should recover most of the SNR (specified at 64 dB(A) SNR 1kHz 94 dB @ 50cm).

I expect it to work well with a normal TRRS "smartphone" jack, just connecting the output via a decoupling capacitor to the sleeve and using the phantom power. The TRRS compatibility guess is based on the numbers given in this comment: https://www.epanorama.net/blog/2014/09/15/android-device-ext...

Assuming one could exploit 60 dB SNR over the 60 kHz wide band, the Shannon–Hartley theorem says there'd be a ceiling of 1.2 Mbit/s. Spectral efficiency would be 20 bit/s / Hz, and for the SNR range above ~10 dB, (dB SNR)/(bit/s /Hz) equals 3.

Your 20 kHz to 40 kHz band would actually give a nice 400 kbit/s with 60 dB SNR, or 200 kbit/s with 30 dB SNR. The ultrasonic speaker for these frequencies can be just a normal piezoelectric horn with either a crude class-A audio amplifier who's low-pass filter was suitably adjusted/removed, or a more efficient class-D device that can handle the relatively high frequencies. Considering the rather high lower end of the required band, a simple digitally-fed bipolar current source with pulse-density modulation fed to the tweeter should be sufficient.
I think you could credibly ask that question for nearly anything outside of human basic needs. But the answer is simple: people are entertained and enriched by different things.

I certainly spend some amount of time on HN replying to things I shouldn't bother with, but the majority of my time on HN is filled with learning new things and hearing interesting perspectives on those things. I consider it a net positive in my life, and over the years I've gotten better at avoiding the negative parts.
In the old Multics papers it was just long term storage as there was no difference between segments in memory and on disk. Which we are finally starting to catch up with 50 years later.

The left does this on Reddit/Twitter constantly towards right wing people and no one bats an eye. It's like maybe those in power are extremely biased towards the left.
The medical community has war gamed pandemics for years. I wasn't surprised to see the "masks don't help" line because that's been part of the lessons learned from these war games.

They knew there would be panic buying so they had this bit of subterfuge ready to go when a pandemic hit. The problem is that it is a bee-sting solution: one use only. Now that COVID19 has turned out to be far less dire than predicted, that bee-sting solution is gone and wasted. When we get a much more deadly pandemic, and we will, that tool will no longer be available. It's a shame it was used for this situation.

Sure, we could learn from this to always have enough PPE in stock but once this pandemic is over, every year there is going to be pressure on budgets on every level to cut the size (and cost) of PPE storage until it eventually shrinks down to what it was when this pandemic started.

If the medical community wants to regain some of its credibility it needs to stop circling the wagons and pretending this wasn't an intentional but well meaning lie they told the public. The longer it takes them to stop spinning the issue, the longer it is going to take them to regain the trust of the public, which will be detrimental to public health.
Something has to launch getty. I launched it from the terminal because I had to run MAME interactively to find out what PTY it created - if I had a hardware serial port with a fixed name, then yeah, I could tell make init run a getty on it at system startup without having to disassociate from an existing controlling terminal.
What do you mean by "it," in "what it has become?" Also, what value(s) you're looking for in "better alternative," because none of anything in your comment is specific besides "neo-nazi." I'm aware of the site's problems with them of course, but they don't encroach on my daily usage, so I'm curious what might be pushing you away if it's something other than a constant barrage of neonazis in every subreddit you subscribe.
Interesting but eating in the cycles recommended makes me feel ill. I can't eat shit in the morning, at best I can sip 100 calories worth of a drink but anything more will make me nauseous and lethargic for hours, maybe sometime after lunch I can eat an okay sized meal, and then I eat the most as a real late dinner, another thing which they say you shouldn't do. And to top all that off, I work physically demanding job, and eating before doing something only makes it worse and feels like it drains stamina, especially breakfast.
So I always take these kind of recommendations with a grain of salt, maybe as an overall trend for most people, but just like sleep phases and schedules I don't believe there is a one ideal fit for everyone.

33 % chance of being hostile, 33% of being friendly and 33% of do not wanting anything with us in decades by cause of an humongous jet-lag
I moderate a couple of subreddits and agree moderation is a disaster. For popular subs, moderators are basically swamped in a never-ending avalanche of shit. Even if you want to be a good mod, doing so for the long haul is an insane time commitment.

The fact that being banned from one sub doesn't usually get you banned from another sub is totally understandable, but combined with how easy it is to make a new account, in practice it's just never-ending whack-a-mole with shithead posters.
Racial inequality is a huge problem in the United States. If a few innocent people get fired, that's tiny compared to the injustice that Black people have suffered over the past centuries. So if fighting racial inequality means a few innocent people get fired, then that would be a small price to pay. But I worry that the long-term cost of this tactic is much bigger than "a few innocent people get fired".

I really want Biden to win the 2020 election. But for that to happen, the Democrats will need support from swing voters. When innocent people get fired, this scares and alienates swing voters, and they'll be more likely to vote Republican. I worry that this kind of thing will result in another four years of Trump.

And in the long term, it's not just about swing voters, but also about the 40%+ of the US that consistently votes Republican. We'll never have real equality and peace if 40%+ of the US isn't on board. I truly believe it's possible to change conservatives' minds: polls find widespread support for police reform even among people who identify as Republican [1], and Republican support for gay marriage increased from 16% to 49% over the past few decades [2]. But when innocent people get fired, that's going to make conservatives scared, and they're going to push back by turning out to vote for Trump, and by nominating more extreme candidates in future Republican primaries. So we should fight for racial equality in ways that don't antagonize conservatives any more than necessary. Of course, it's inevitable that fighting for progress will antagonize conservatives to _some_ extent; but we should try to minimize this when we can.

So the real cost of firing innocent people is that it alienates swing voters, and also antagonizes conservatives and hardens their resolve. That's _not_ a small price to pay. We should make a real effort to avoid firing innocent people, and when it does happen, we should express regret instead of doubling down.

> Auditable Build Process

> Builds are produced by GitHub Actions with an auditable build and release generation process. Each build has a "Document SHAs" step, which will output SHA checksums for the build produced by the GitHub Action, so you can verify that the source code for a given build corresponds to any given release

What will stop an attacker from hard coding code source file hashes? I'm not saying they will, just that it's a bad method of making binaries auditable
Thanks, that reminded me of upcoming iOS 14 support for WebAuth/FIDO. Perhaps that can be extended to SSH auth.

Lua addresses this problem by having metamethods, with a special way of failing over when operators meet a type error:

https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#2.4

>If any operand for an addition is not a number (nor a string coercible to a number), Lua will try to call a metamethod. First, Lua will check the first operand (even if it is valid). If that operand does not define a metamethod for __add, then Lua will check the second operand. If Lua can find a metamethod, it calls the metamethod with the two operands as arguments, and the result of the call (adjusted to one value) is the result of the operation. Otherwise, it raises an error.
There is some possibility of gravitational lensing of FRBs and people are definitely searching for it. However, in this case it is refraction caused by variation in the density of the ionised gas between us and the source (within our galaxy, the host galaxy, and at lower densities in the intervening medium).

I made 40 dollars last weekend by falling into the https://xkcd.com/386 "trap". Thursday before last weekend someone released a starlink coverage map that was wrong, specifically it made arbitrary circles on a globe and pretended they were coverage. In order to fix this mistake I made https://droid.cafe/starlink.

A reddit user was kind enough to spontaneously donate 40 dollar (in btc) to me despite the fact that I didn't solicit donations. It's also been a pretty productive endeavor for learning about front end development, listening to feedback and giving users what they're asking for, learning to use cloudflare/gcp, and now learning to optimize glsl shaders to enable a fancier renderer while still getting reasonable performance on cheap hardware.

I feel like I often learn a lot about one random topic or another when I research so I can accurately correct someone who is being wrong on the internet. The above is an interesting example because there was a concrete deliverable at the end of the process, but I don't feel the fact that I learned from the process is particularly unique.
There a situation going on at SomethingAwful where if ownership isn’t transferred, a vocal group of users is going to leave. Some of them have suggested BreadnRoses.net, which advertises supporting an open community and being inviting to all.

However, it’s too far to the left and focused on solidarity to take all of SA’s threads and even forums.

You have such a mix over there, everything from tech to politics, guns, drugs... a lot like reddit.

The FDA's perpetual process machine
We have something similar to this, Aether. https://getaether.net. (code at github.com/nehbit/aether)

Always glad to see more eyeballs on the space, so I wish then the best. Here are a few differences I can see at the first glance:

- Aether is decentralised (as in torrent) this appears to be federated. That means Aether truly has no servers and every user is a peer, while federated means there are smaller ‘Reddits’ as servers that talk to each other.

- By proxy that means we can’t really have a web app unfortunately (working on it by the way of running a daemon on a raspberry pi) and they can - we need a native app running on your machine and seeding context to the network.

- By another proxy, this means Aether avoids the issue of having a ‘middle management’ in the form of the ownership of your home server that federated networks have. You are the home server, so no one can control what you see. We call this user sovereignty

- In Aether we have elections which elect mods based on popular vote and you control who is a mod, precisely because the ‘social compiler’ runs on your machine and allows you to compile it however you want. Two people with two different mod lists for the same community can see drastically different communities

- We have a mod audit log and have had it for a while - everyone’s mod actions are visible to everyone (this I think they also have)

- Lastly, we have made the decision to not monetise Aether itself and create a team communication app called Aether Pro, and monetise that. This creates a ‘Chinese wall’ between where we make our money and the P2P network, which means it’s a shield against drifting towards trying to make money from a social network. The code bases are separate but similar, so that also means work done on the Pro helps Aether as well. We have gotten some funding for the Pro, and we consider the P2P version a ‘marketing / goodwill expense’ in the context of that funding. That aligns us towards making sure Aether is long-term viable, well maintained and monetisation-free.

In contrast I think they’ve gotten money to work directly on this, which has both good and more hazardous sides. In summary, we opted for a long term structure that has less moral hazard (in my opinion, of course), in favour of a more stable app without a need for monetisation that has fewer, more stable releases.

For context, here's how a recent thread looks on my Aether client: https://i.imgur.com/45tXQEO.png

And the users will get mad and blame the service provider. That said users are dumb/wrong or whatever is irrelevant, what matters to the business is that they're pissing off users and getting a bad reputation. Thus, requiring emails from the user is entirely rational and in fact is a good business practice.

Nothing. The point is that you can replicate the same steps on your local machine and the hashes should be the same. If they're not it means either github actions and/or the repo owner has been compromised.
It's because everyone puts up this herculean effort.

There's a large population of people out there with views that annoy left-wing people, who don't really have a place on most internet platforms, because all internet platforms are left wing, because the dominant culture of silicon valley is much more left wing than the mean of, say, US citizens. (And everyone who wants to keep their job pretends to be more left wing than they are, too.)

Anyway, this means there's this mob of people without a place to talk, and they want such a place. So if a place ever opens up that doesn't strictly persecute right-wingers- well, it's like being a town during the inquisition that doesn't persecute witches. Obviously, all the witches are going to flock to you!

This was solving problems nobody really has, so its fate was predictable. Here's what I think could take off like a rocket: a VSCode-like experience that runs completely in terminal, and therefore does not require a "remote" of any kind. Better yet if it takes most of the same plugins, to reuse the immense amount of work people have done there (and are not going to re-do for some hotshot new editor).

Note how none of the above mentions "async", "ropes" or "crdt".
