True to what Brad said. Writing is important. Writing can describe the intent that is in the head so that it can be read and understood by others correctly and appropriately. I learned from what I discovered in the style of advertising writing a few decades ago about petroleum investment. Very interesting and very inspiring, how the copywriter poured the contents of the company's head into a series of interesting words, like storytelling - https://wfh.richarddaris.com/2020/07/men-who-know-it-all.htm...
Naive, under-researched :) question: what Linux-native program lets me import a bunch of audio tracks, arrange them in a timeline with subsample-level resolution, apply nondestructive edits such as crossfades...

...with a fast, simple UI? :)

So far I've poked at Ardour, but

a) I was pretty sure it was absolute overkill for my simple purposes,

b) The program felt kinda clunky, like if I moved wrong it would crash, and

c) I wasn't sure the program was subsample-accurate.

--

I've pretty much never pursued playing around with audio or music because all the software out there is either undiscoverably obscure, or firmly out of my price range (which is $0, since I a) have no idea if audio editing will even be interesting, and b) don't know what program would be the most appropriate).

After throwing my hands up in the air for the 20th time at Audacity's remarkable sluggishness I stumbled on ReZound (http://rezound.sourceforge.net/ss.shtml) a few years ago and discovered a refreshingly fast tool with VUs that would happily run at 60fps on the ~20 year old machine I was using at the time. (2014 was interesting. I was using an 800MHz AMD Duron with 320MB RAM. And to reiterate, ReZound
was completely usable on that machine.)

Sadly, while the most-recent SVN of ReZound does compile on modern Linux, project saving has been broken since the paleolithic era so you have to (re-)export as FLAC to save... and sometimes the edit process subtly injects single-sample gaps of silence which sound like clicks/pops (!), making the program unusable. Not to mention it uses the destructive edit model.

Wish it was in better shape, it's a fairly excellent program.
Kabbalistic Judaism also addresses the capacity for somethingness to emerge from nothingness. Very interesting interpretations of these metaphysical puzzles.

Tzimtzum, "contraction", proposes that the physical world is infinite somethingness/nothingness (essentially equal representations of one thing) made manifest in the realm of light/waves and distinctions.

Compile your own emacs for your particular processor using all the available optimizations and you might be running much faster than your OS's emacs. You can also opt for other speedups and enhancements which you won't find in the normal generic emacs.

It's even possible that if you're on an old netbook, your emacs is using optimizations which don't exist on your machine causing all kinds of extra processing. Who knows. I also don't use GTK at all, this is a massive speed-up.

It's actually asinine that you are defending censorship. Take a moment to think about that. I assume you think it would be a no big deal if Harvard started banning certain ideas and expelling people that talked about them. Perhaps scientific journals should feel free to suppress research that doesnt toe their political line and lets have journalists... well that ones already a joke.

Even if protecting free speech in non governmental institutions shouldnt be written into law it a is an ideal that every person should be defending. Its unreal that this has to be said.
Pretty good article overall.

I predict that the 'sexy' will lead to more trouble than it was worth. It's only a small part of the actual article but will probably overshadow all discussions.

There's one thing I want to scream at every front-end developer out there: STOP OPENING POPUPS WHEN I'M SELECTING TEXT!

Again: STOP OPENING POPUPS WHEN I'M SELECTING TEXT!
Sorry, I tried to give this submission the benefit of the doubt on the issue of feminine voices as the default standard for voice assistants and the outright use of "sexy" as clickbait is egregious enough.

Seriously, the only "sexiness" there is to this is the individual preference with two lines of code:

>"She speaks smooth enough. Turning up a bit of the pitch will make her voice cuter"

Was that really worth being part of the title?

We already have outstanding issues of misogyny in machine learning, data science and computer science writ large.

The title implies some kind of golfing being done here as if API copypasta constitutes an achievement.

I'd be more forgiving but the fact that this made it to my front page with any idea of sexualizing existing content and technology when we are tirelessly trying to demonstrate gender equity in the field frustrates me altogether.
I couldn't figure out how to play a sample of the "sexy" voice, did I just miss it?

> Nothing running on Linux compares to Ableton

Does this statement include your assessment of Bitwig (https://www.bitwig.com/en/home.html)? The company was founded by former Ableton employees and the software is supposed to run on Linux machines...
> On the other hand, locking in a monopolistic player, particularly in the context of a government that has shown a desire for more control over the flow of information is a real downside.

This may warrant more than a single sentence. The government has in the past gone as far as turning the internet off in areas it doesn't want in the public eye. Censorship and banning of outlets is fairly common, and rarely as high profile as the recent tiktok ban.

Calling early price discovery leg down for Bitcoin hyperinflation is dishonest at best. Even ironic as hyperinflation occurs when there is a continuing rapid increase in money supply.

I run a site on Grav, which appears to be very similar to Kirby but FOSS, with plenty of free themes and plugins (though the base installation is pretty complete). It's super easy to install compared to WordPress, and I've never had luck getting NodeJS-based software like Ghost to work and then stay working for a long time. For a personal blog it has all the features you would need, while being pretty simple.

But, software like Grav and presumably also Kirby are very much not easy to run for 'normal' people. They would need to secure hosting without getting overwhelmed with the technical details or all the upselling that providers try to do, then install the software which is 'easy' but not 'click this button and you're done' easy, and of course also deal with domains and DNS etc. A hosted solution - even if you have to pay for it - is the only practical solution for normal people.

That said, for the type of people that read HN I would highly recommend Grav. Installation is easy, it has a nice web-based interface for administration and writing posts, it is fast, and it is not the latest trendy static site generator. It is a boring PHP application that will probably keep working for 20 years with no changes required - but is still actively maintained and will be for the foreseeable future.
I think the lack of geographical proximity to Jio, didn't give Mr. Ben the complete picture of the forces at play.

The story of Jio (Reliance) cannot be told without the political-corruption-nexus in India, by investing in Jio - Facebook, Google, Qualcomm etc. not only acquire stake in 'The Enterprise' of India but also guaranteed of political favors apart from access to data from millions of Indians through a single unregulated channel.

Let me give you an example of the political reach companies like Adani, Reliance etc. which are in nexus with current ruling party - BJP have in India. I have personally heard from Ex. High Court judges that when they were presiding over cases involving Adani, Reliance they were approached by officials from those companies and were asked "Would you like to be a Governor after your retirement?".

As there is practically no real opposition party left in India, BJP will rule India for for decades to come as it slips into total authoritarianism(like CCP).

So being on good terms with Jio/Reliance aka BJP, guarantee these companies unfettered access to Indians and especially their data. I'm sure BJP already has the necessary infrastructure in place for analyzing data from Jio customers, now with Facebook, WhatsApp, Google you can see where this is going.

As any non-alignment with Jio/Reliance/BJP means 'the end' as we are seeing with even Govt. institutions like BSNL(Telecom), HAL (Aircraft Manufacturer) etc. Any business in India or from abroad now should appease Jio if they have to survive.
Agree. I think the general shift in perspective and how the world works ( with respect to money, business, economy and people ) happens somewhere around 8 - 12 years into the society.

So for those who joined the Work force or has some work experience earlier in age that tends to happen sooner / younger.
If a candidate has less than 3 years of experience AND he has nothing to show AND he has no degree... he will not pass the filter.

Moreover, I'm not really interested in "years of experience". Previous titles don't really matter, too.

What does matter for junior and middle developers: personal projects, specific products or features developed by them or their team, accounts on Upwork, GitHub or StackOverflow, recommendations from other people, a personal website or a blog.

We are talking about the initial screening filter, so _anything_ proving you are a real developer is fine.

That's one very specific definition of 'bad actor'. Other definitions are possible, and probably what the original commenter had in mind.

Have a look at eg https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/tJQsxD34maYw2g5E4/thomas-c-s... or https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/2SeN2MjmMzZB25hBo/insights-f... for some ideas about alternative definitions.

You could also go by something like 'You are not a bad actor, if (outside of emergencies) you don't lie, cheat, murder or steal.' Or you can go with something closer to game theory, and emphasis cooperation in something like a prisoner dilemma.

With Facebook there is at least a chance, however minuscule, that you are exposed to different ideas. With media like Fox News, it’s straight out propaganda. This is what’s causing the polarization; the conspiracy theories and extremism have to come from somewhere. Why go after the symptom and not the cause?

If making the document faster to read is all it took, we'd see 140 character technical reports.

The difficult thing is understanding. Powerpoint masks this, so readers don't go looking for extra time to comprehend. Powerpoint also encourages poor communication (eg auto-resizing text blocks as you add more/longer entries) so the writer doesn't think deeply about the document they're making. It's a strength in some fields, and a weakness in others.

Sorry, it's hard to get past the first section.

The author TOTALLY misses the point of the question "why is there something rather than nothing". Of course there is something, hence why we are here talking about this at all.

The main problem people grapple with in the question of "why is there something instead of nothing" is how if there was at one point nothing, how is there now something? What caused it?

Further, if there WASN'T at one point nothing, where the hell did all of this something come from?
> Not true at all, there are several times I've attempted to read through a textbook only to be stopped by notation because something was introduced prior to being referenced, or notation is overloaded with multiple meanings.

Are you saying that it was the notation alone which caused you to completely stop reading the book? I can't see that I share that experience. There are certainly times where I don't fully understand a proof or a lemma due to uncertainty about the notation, but that's rarely a _blocker_. I just skip it, continue reading and come back to it later.

I agree with the GP here: The main thing which blocks _me_ on a book is the subject itself and how the author presents it. The problem is rarely the notion by itself, but the fact that the author uses concepts which I don't know about.

EDIT: It should also be pointed out that the GP didn't say that notation was _never_ a problem, only that it's a much _smaller_ problem than "those presented with the subject itself". The big question about your experience would be if you would have been unblocked if the notation was explained in English, or if it would just uncover that it uses concepts which haven't been fully explained to you.
Thank you I wouldn't otherwise have heard of this

I'm on the left, and can concur. Many of us were pissed about Bernie losing, and thinking yeah now's the time for the Green party to win...

Then there's like at least 3 groups trying to start 3 new political parties, those of us pushing for the greens, more pushing for one of the socialist parties, and some even pushing for the libertarian party (I'm a leftist/socialist libertarian, but the libertarian party is NOTHING like a left/libertarian), and some voting for Trump out of spite, or insanity, and the rest probably cow-towing to vote for Biden.

Just ideas alone it's pretty disjointed. No organization. I mean the right/tea party at least was pretty coherent and had a pretty good structure to accomplish their goals.

Leftists though have their own purity tests, and their own minds made up and can be rather stubborn about how to accomplish goals, what those goals should be, etc...

I think we all have ADHD or something.

However, there's no 'terrorism' on the left, or very rare. antifa is not a terrorist org. Show me the deaths, the bombs, etc. I can show you plenty of those on the right though, an antifa terrorist is probably some kid egging or graffit-ing a building. That's about as serious as they get, because most on the left are also pacifists.

While Jio truly made cellular Internet available to 100's of millions of Indians, most post-paid (the profitable segment) customers are still with Airtel and to a lesser extent Vodafone (this one is a mystery). And Jio is again complaining to regulatory authorities that offering better plans to post-paid customers will harm all other customers (can't make this stuff up!).

>Single-letter non-descriptive variable and functions names would “make sense” to programmers who use it all day long too — but that alone doesn’t make it a good idea.

Imagine you would write the code on paper by hand and have to repeat some long var or function name all the time . Even with IDEs I see programming languages using shorter keywords like "var","const","int" then the full word.

Because you are agains single letter symbols let me know what are your suggestions for PI, or X(in polynomials or equations) and show me a screenshot on how some real world physics equation solving would look like with camel case named symbols.
This isn't opposite, its closer to a root cause than an opposite term. Anyway, supply and demand govern all prices, I wasn't arguing against such basic economic tenants. I'm just pointing to what inflation is and that is an expansion of money supply.

The problem is that moonshots do not work for solving bread and butter problems, and generally speaking you need to do lots of legwork before a metro area is ready for such things. The poster child I like to use for this is San Jose VTA, which has not a lot to show for its large light rail network despite being the home to Silicon Valley, but similar stories can be told in most major US metropolitan areas.

The odd one out in terms of public transportation in the last two decades is Seattle. Seattle is now investing tens of billions of dollars to extend the tentacles of its light rail throughout the region, eventually to 116 miles. But before this has even been completed, the metro area is one of the only non-NYC metros to have recorded consistently positive transit ridership growth in total, and probably the only one that had an actual percentage growth in mode share too, all with a rapidly expanding population.

This has mostly occurred via the normal, no-frills bus. The vast majority of bus routes do not have lanes or traffic priority or separation, but the very important thing is that frequency was massively increased; 70% of Seattle households are a ten minute walk from very frequent transit in 2019, up from 25%. [1] It turns out that if bus services are actually convenient, and driving is a pain in the ass, people will switch to transit to save themselves the frustration of having to actually pay attention to maddening road congestion. In addition land use in Seattle has long been focused on smart growth, with growth being funneled into dense regional nodes and highway buses being set up to link them on an hourly or half-hourly basis.

Where can you find wholesale suppliers of high quality hats?
There are many places to choose from, and one I like to go with is ZYCAPS. What I like most about their service is that it’s 100% custom made. Many different hats are available, ranging from 5-panel hats, dad hats, trucker hats, etc.. Literally anything that comes in mind regarding hats is available. Make sure to check it out. You can try to trust them, I believe they won’t let your down. You can google ZYCAPS, then you can get their website and contact them.

> each match is just +/- 50 points

This only happens in the rare cases where you're matching players against (exactly) equally-ranked players. You can mitigate this by always trying to match as "close as possible," but it's only a mitigation. Try simulating random matchmaking with Elo, and you'll get something like this: https://i.imgur.com/1Y08jUB.png (1000 players, 100,000 games). In my simulation, I set k (the Elo constant) = 50.
