Did he name these consequences?

I couldn’t spot that in the article. Did someone find that or does anyone have a quote from elsewhere?

Preferably no speculation; a direct quote or a summary of his statement would be ideal.
Ah, I wasn't aware of these, it's a really interesting approach and could probably save quite a bit of space in a rack. They're solving a slightly different problem though.

Yes, you can always borrow that emergency fund. It's pretty much how corporations view lines of credit. You just need to make sure you borrow before (i.e. now because of low interest rates) before the sh1t hits the fan. Because by then, it's too late and no one will lend to you.

So the payments get deferred, but if families aren't earning any money (e.g. lost job or furloughed) for these missed months, how will they catch back up? Where does the extra money come from?
I disagree about Chrome. It's absolutely not perfect, but considering its sheer complexity - browsers are probably comparable to an operating system at this point - bugs are fairly rare and performance is quite good.
Don’t agree with you about git at all, I find it’s one of the few tools I work with that behaves expectedly and gets out of my way, if you want that workflow of stash, pull and reapply a stash why not make an alias for it?

> Catalyst is not as popular as expected

Expected by whom, exactly? I don’t think anyone ever asked for Catalyst, it was just an ugly push from Apple. It’s unpopularity was actually fairly predictable.

And on iOS gaming: iOS gaming and desktop gaming cater to different markets. Nobody ever bought a desktop or laptop to play something like Fruit Ninja.
They report 10k€ monthly costs and 1.5k€ revenue.

I may be full of it, but I'm fairly confident I could reduce their server costs to below their revenue in a matter of days or weeks. 6 million users is a lot, but it's not vast even if they have real-time connections and a lot of storage.

I imagine that a lot of HN more experienced users could do the same.

Assuming I'm not full of it, that suggests soup.io could be marginally profitable as long as nobody is paid to run it.

At 1.5k€ MRR, it would still have to be a labour of love for someone.

I'm not sure I understand that comment. Docker isn't virtualization at least as the term is normally used (of a full OS running in a virtual machine). It's containerization and, to the degree it's terrible (I haven't used it much), it may be related to the fact that MacOS is based on BSD and not Linux.

Big Sur apparently has native Mac virtualization for, initially, x86 although I'm unclear what the underlying tech and a query or two at the time of the original announcement didn't yield any results. So that may improve Linux virtualization.

As for ARM, virtualization is not emulation. There's going to be Rosetta 2. But my understanding is that you shouldn't expect x86 Linux to run on Mac ARM using virtualization, Docker, or anything else. (Apple demoed an ARM build of Linux running in a VM on ARM at WWDC.)
But is that a huge issue? One could compile on better machine with i386 target, no?
The report for the underlying survey (which the CNBC article was kind enough to link) is very readable and contains additional useful information: https://www.apartmentlist.com/research/july-housing-payments

The spin in the CNBC article about late payment seems misleading, or at least, not supported by the survey:

CNBC: "Almost 90% of households had paid some or all of their rent or mortgage payment by the end of June. But with late fees tacked on, those households may be more likely to miss their next housing bill, perpetuating a vicious cycle."

Apartment List: "It continues to be the case that the majority of payments missed in the first week of the month are made up with late payments. 89 percent of respondents reported that they had paid their June bill in full as of the first week of July. This is consistent with the end-of-month payment rate for prior months."

Highlighting the differences, CNBC says respondents "paid some or all", while the actual survey claims that 89% of the overdue bills were paid "in full". CNBC points out that theoretically the added fees may create a vicious cycle, while Apartment List says that there is as yet no evidence of this.

One useful datapoint that I didn't see mentioned in either article is the "base rate" for other years. What are the typical numbers for July in the years when there isn't a global pandemic? Does anyone have a source for this?

> Function pointers exist in C and are type-checked by the compiler just fine.

This amount of type safety is almost useless. Many of the function prototypes, for example in inode and dentry ops, have the exact same signature. If you accidentally swap inode.rmdir with inode.unlink, compiler isn't going to say anything. And it won't be caught in code review either, to the extent that Linux even has code review culture.

0. Survival. ;Assumed to be a constant background process, with hugely variable obligations including financial.

Remaining efforts are best accomplished in series to reduce the negative effects of potential setbacks, but I don't have time or resources for that any more so my mission has these running concurrently. Just have to accept the natural order that allows/delays/prevents achievements of priorities further down the list, dynamically or not.

1. Disaster Mitigation & Recovery.

2. Progress, largely scientific, in an invoiceable way. ;if more effective scientific equipment is needed that should not be a limitation

3. Wider progress, directly or indirectly funded by the invoices. ;if more effective musical equipment is needed that should not be a limitation

4. Focus on realization of theoretical milestones in instrumentation, alternative energy, conservation, and recycling.

5. Prosperity.

6. GOTO 2. ;bypass reinitialization, pass GO collect 200 dollars

> Humans don’t type on a tight feedback loop of waiting for characters to pop up on the screen, obviously.

Actually, yes, they do. I can't dig up the reference right now, but evidence indicates that for touch typists, error rates rise as input latency increases.

Apparently, seeing your characters appear on screen is a cue the brain uses together with mechanical feedback and other things to do small muscular corrections on the fly.

So there's nothing obvious about a claim to the contrary.
Nice to see the Sylphyo mentioned on HN! (I'm the software developer at Aodyo)

To answer Jeff's post, in fact, the SWAM virtual instruments _do_ have a way to derive attack intensity from the breath signal. You have to explicitly select "Expression" for the "Attack Sens." parameter. You can also fine-tune the response using the "Auto Expression", "Expr. Trigger Mode" and "Expr. Trigger Sens." parameters in the Options.
It's not the default behavior because many SWAM users play them using a keyboard instead of a wind controller, but it's definitely there.
Obviously, our onboard synth does this automatically on our sounds, when it makes sense.

I don't know about Jeff's setup, but there's no need to add MIDI velocity on top of the breath signal[1]. When a wind controller outputs a MIDI velocity, it's just something derived from the breath signal, but it's best that synths just use the breath signal and produce attack sounds themselves based on that. That's what SWAM instruments do when "Attack Sens." is set to "Expression", and I'd say it's the correct way.
If your wind controller outputs a breath signal at a high enough frequency (the Sylphyo can do up to 1 kHz), then there's enough information for the synth to produce an attack that really sounds like what the performer intended to do on the controller.
On the Sylphyo, you can observe this with the onboard sound Meow[2]. Attacks will sound different depending on whether your attacks are done using the tongue ("tu ku tu") or using the throat, but the processing stays minimal so that any advanced technique (flutter-tonguing or growling in the video) can be faithfully retranscribed, and it works well with a subtractive/FM sound like Meow (it might be more difficult for physical models).

[1] MIDI velocity could serve another purpose in a wind controller playing a SWAM instrument: telling how hard you're pressing a key when changing the note, similarly to how flautists sometimes use the sounds of their keys clicking in their performance.

Not sure what you are asking? As far as I can tell, hackers hack like fish swim. We just do. For a multitude of reasons.

This is incorrect. I worked at Google at the time and commented on the original document. He posted it in a few small groups related to diversity. Nothing happened. Then he posted it in a relatively large public group unrelated to diversity. There was discussion in that group, and as part of that discussion it went viral (being linked elsewhere and posted around).

It was specifically because of the "mostly ignored" that he chose to escalate to a larger group where he felt he'd get more feedback and response (and agreement).

The AWS web UI shows an MRU (most recently used) list of the last 5 roles only.

Jira with a dozen plugins is a death sentence for productivity. Oh Atlassian finally fixed that bug you reported a decade ago? It might have to wait a few months because none of your plugins are compatible with the new Jira release.
i agree. I think this is why I find companies like tesla and spacex exciting. They seem to have set up incentive structures that encourage _both_ quick execution and innovation (which requires deep understanding). One thing he's said that really struck me is that it's _really_ difficult to produce innovation if you tie punishment to failure. People tend to be conservative if they are punished / think they will be punished harshly for trying and failing. But if you want to innovate, failure has to be an acceptable outcome

hopefully we see more companies go in this direction

Mac OS X. Apple keeps going out of its way to make life harder for power users, even though the non-power-users are increasingly moving to iOS/Android/ChromeOS anyway.
No, not really. Soundproofing means preventing sound from entering or exiting a volume. Because of the way sound works, a quite small leak will result in quite a lot of sound entering or exiting a volume.

20 dB is a ~4x increase in perceived sound volume, but a 10x increase in the actual pressure of the sound wave. So, oversimplifying, if you block off 90% of the sound waves entering a volume, the remaining pressure spreads out to 10x weaker waves... which are still 25% as loud. Keep in mind that this is covering 90% of the floor, walls, ceiling, doors and windows in perfectly sound-blocking material, which does not exist.

To reduce volume levels by 90%, you need to perfectly isolate 97% of the sound leaking in. You literally need to build a new room inside the old one. That's before you even account for the fact that your ears will adjust and sounds need to be much quieter to keep from picking up on them.

Preventing sound from exiting a volume is even worse. Sound has quite low absorption coefficients even in things like open cell foam; anechoic chambers rely heavily on shapes that trap sound and cause it to echo through foam dozens of times so that it's sufficiently attenuated before it bounces back out. Most reasonably airtight rooms are painfully loud because sounds you normally consider quiet (eg footsteps) are not attenuated as normal.

Keep in mind that even if you think a room is reasonably airtight -eg when you have an open window, your door closes far more easily than when the window is closed- it's really not at all. You've probably got vents etc that allow lots of air to move in and out of the room.

In a well-sealed room, sound will echo ~100 times (a second or two) before attenuation makes it much quieter. That pressure is just bottled up and it will escape through even tiny cracks, and if you were to listen at one of those cracks you'd hear much more clearly than if the room wasn't soundproofed at all. In that case, the soundproofing is just acting like a funnel or a crack in a pressure vessel. Unless you've got comprehensive soundproofing and a way to increase attenuation, all you're doing is causing the sound to escape from smaller spots.

When you see people recording and they have just a few acoustic panels up, the point is not to make the room any quieter. In fact they usually want the opposite- you want sound to exit the room as easily as possible, to prevent echoes. If you hang up too many panels, you prevent that from happening and you don't really decrease the volume of sound from the outside.

Acoustic panels are best used sparingly to dissipate or break up echoes from a very specific place, like directly in front of the recording, or behind electronics/noise sources.
Sorry, I meant the article, but I didn't phrase it clearly enough. I apologize. I should have put a newline after the first sentence, and maybe elaborated a bit (as I now have in a sib comment.)
You should just try applying to embedded software jobs. The fact that you've been gone ten years means much less in that field. What you said above is the start of a good cover letter.
I agree on these points, however many developers don't care enough to use it well, so you get screwed up shared histories, bad commits, mis-merged branches. I know that the nature of a shared tool, but it definitely negates a lot of the potential benefits of doing everything The Right Way if nobody else puts in the same effort.
Not OP, but I prefer the paradigm of phabricator diffs over GitHub PRs. It papers over git's inability to have unnamed branches and makes stacked diffs much easier. It also makes it easier to do "no branches, everything is on master" development, which I feel is superior whenever it's possible.
Sorry to hear that. If you could share your approximate location, then I'll gladly investigate.
