The mistake of thinking they could go halfway through Marin and extend it later.

And the mistake of having the train use a single track for half it's length (once an hour service at most, any time of day).
Pretty much the usual. Make sure to keep it updated. Don't install crappy plugins. Use safe passwords.
Don’t know if it’s relevant but optional interface to use also existing Jupyter components e.g. qgrid could be a quick workaround to introduce features until native components are developed
Strong passwords and regular updates. Ive had a WordPress blog for 15 years self hosted and havent to my knowledge been hacked yet.
> Ardour felt kinda clunky, like if I moved wrong it would crash

I'd say Ardour is one of the more mature(re: stable) open-source solutions on linux and has a fair bit of development effort behind it.

Personally usability wise I never quite figured it out, although it seems fairly feature packed (if you can figure it out)

Apparently Qtractor also supports non-destructive audio editing but I haven't really tried it yet.

Aside from that I know this is a thread on open-source, but I will point out Reaper has experimental native Linux builds which I've found to work quite well and Reaper (not $0, but minor nag screen) is also non-destructive.
Something tells me this happens less than you imply.
I am not sure a Yelp-like system would work for the reasons others have mentioned.

I would suggest these metrics to help you evaluate a doc program from the outside:

Do early-stage grad students get (any) authorship credits together with professors or post docs? (Getting started)

Do they eventually get first author status? (Independence)

Do students go to conferences and read papers? Or does a prof just go and read all 10 from her institution? (Networking)

Do fresh doctors land post docs, tenure, or good private sector jobs? (Outcome)

A lot of this can be deduced by google (scholar) and scanning conference proceedings and video recordings.

(defended my doc in 2016 in Finland, been fairly succesful at post doc funding as well as private sector)
Whether he is disdainful should be judged by what Odysseus says and do. Not by what goddess do.

In the story Odysseus is not behaving in disdainful way to gods at all. He is not disrespectful, he is not treating gods as unworthy. It quite the opposite the whole time.
Hack idea: a keyboard that records this data (speed of typing? force of key presses, maybe approximated by keyboard vibrations?) paired with an app that tweaks font settings accordingly.

Definitely way more effort than it's worth, but it might be a cool dumb thing to build.
The original MIT press release [1] was posted two weeks ago [2] without much discussion.

[1]: http://news.mit.edu/2020/reusable-silicone-rubber-face-mask-...

[2]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23787567

This reusable silicone mask still uses a disposable filter, but the disposable N95 filter requires much less material than a disposable N95 mask.

Look forward to seeing a timeline for production and whether the desired cost pans out.
Publii looks great! Just out of curiosity, do you know any other WYSIWYG alternatives out there?

I like the league system in sc2, it allows you to see progress and to get to know other people's style (because you meet the same players several times in a quick succession). People build narratives around that (I remember that guy I lost vs him last time and now I had my revange).

If somebody won against you with a particularly dirty strategy you can get back at him and you won't be fooled the next time.

It's better than dota system where you're most likely never going to play vs the same people again (or at least it feels like that).

Also the whole 5v5 game that lasts for 1 hour format is inherently very toxic - most of the time you know you lost after 10 minutes and yet you can't disconnect and have to keep playing for the next 30-50 minutes while everybody blames everybody else on your team.

In sc2 if you know you lost after 5 minutes it's discrespectful to continue playing :)
I usually don’t. I use Amadeus Lite, which I paid $25 for and I am quite happy with.

However, sometimes I am stuck doing audio work on Linux or Windows, or on a system which is not my own.
Get fired for no reason because your manager doesn't like you?

I guess a lot of that is helped by "at will" employment in the States. In the UK for example if an employee has worked for 2 years at a company you can't just fire them for no real reason.
I don't self-host Wordpress, my blog is a static site made with Jekyll and served by Nginx. A static site ages well.

That said I self-host other services, like Matomo or FreshRSS (also PHP apps that need a database).

The secret is in setting up auto-update policies. All the self-hosted services I host are in Docker and auto-updated [1] even if that means they can break.

Have been doing this for some time and worked great thus far, but granted self-hosting stuff is a continued investment, you can't just leave that server there to bit rot.

I actually found it to be not that terrible in comparison to some other sites that are out there today. Medium loads 17 scripts totalling about 2.4MB of js. For comparison, reddit loads 78 scripts totalling 7.5 MB.

Is it heavy for such a simple blog? Yes absolutely. Is it heavy for a modern React app? Not really. I think the crux of it is that we often rely too much on heavy frameworks for React even for simple things. It's definitely an antipattern in development today.
But most of them are easily replaced if they go bad. Even domains are of course technically rented, but your own domain is among the most stable identifiers we have on the internet - people owning domains over decades is commonplace.

If my domain registrar, my DNS provider, my hosting company, ... go "bad" I can just move and my readers won't notice. Even if you are on hosted wordpress etc, you can archive your site as is and move, preserving the URLs. That's not the case with Medium etc where your content lives under their domain.
It's not likely that the author of the article on nothingness in the most important academic encyclopedia of philosophy is missing the point of the 'something rather than nothing' question.
If they aren’t wearing unique identification, then I’m going to confite arguing they aren’t identifiable.
Yes, and who do you think is most likely to hire those students after they’ve gained expertise in the field?
Fortunately I don’t think the US government invested in Wag.

Not surprisingly, the bulk of that was from SoftBank’s Vision Fund: https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/SoftBank2/SoftBank-suffers-...
Canceling refunds the extra amount to my balance. The app only charges the balance once a month.

You can't leave it for the next guy, because it's not a parking spot that's paid for. Instead, you pay to park a certain car in any spot in a larger parking zone.
TS was designed to solve a problem. If you cannot see the problem, then you do not need it. Unless when working in teams with devs more used to thinking and structuring their code around types.
That's fascinating, thanks! It looks like you can model it as a mixture distribution made up of two underlying normal distributions.
It's kinda disheartening being matched to plat players in your silver promos.
> going back to Freud

That's not a very solid foundation. Pretty much everything from Freud has since been reconsidered.

My experience with therapists is that I want a certain connection, and I've been rather unsatisfied with most I've seen (though my sample size is only 4). It's not optimal to have to keep rolling the dice to try and find someone I'm comfortable opening up to, and of course both the situation where I'd need to find a new therapist and the US healthcare system (& attitude to mental health) do not make it any easier.
Also, Google might add negative signals for your website, thinking that you copy-pasted an article from Medium on your blog.

Google never did get serious about provenance. They scrape so often that they should be able to tell who's the original. I've seen Wikipedia copy sites outrank the real Wikipedia.

As a backup, you should be able to submit a hash to a time-stamping notary service and have Google pick up on that.
A good, free GUI is one thing the NoSQL world could really use. I think the GUI here could use some work. I might suggest more standard icons and reduced margins.

When you don't like the results of an election or a referendum, now you can blame Russia and China. Can you imagine the losing side easily accept the fact after the POTUS election this year without blaming Russia or China?

Yes, forks are magically distinct by the fact that YOU CANT SPEND FORKED COINS ON ORIGINAL NETWORK. How much more distinction do you need?

Medium has a terrible reputation amongst readers. That's enough for me to not publish there.
>It's the sort of fundamental research which private industry tends to under-produce because it's hard for any given company to recoup the full value of the R&D, but the target area is something with potential downstream practical implications.

Quantum computing ? I've seen just a few months ago some article about a single start-up raising >200M ?
> I've met way more people interesting in learning math than performing it, so we try to make notation as clear and possible.

That is like trying to learn an instrument by looking at it but never touching it. Notation like other tools is made to useful. Also if you never played an instrument you would think they are each their own little completely different world. That's totally wrong for ya.
Sounds interesting. Since when is TechCrunch redirecting their traffic via guce.advertising.com? My Pihole Setup Blocks this and I wont unblock it to support this kind of technique.
I checked it out. It is amazing. However am I correct that it's still mostly driven by mouse input? I couldn't find any other keybindings to navigate a website.
He also volunteered for military service in world war 1, and when he reached the front line volunteered for the extremely dangerous assignment of crawling into no-man’s land alone to make observations of the enemy. He said it seemed absurd to be a volunteer among draftees and not take on the most dangerous missions.
Could you elaborate on what an "RFC Culture" means to you in a broader sense? I feel like there's a train of thought here that I'm missing and am keen on further elucidation.

What would a documentation or comment-chain ideally be constituted of? How would you change existing docs in a practical way which would reflect both deprecated and replacement functionality?

When you originally considered "RFC Culture" what system did you have in mind?
The question can be reformulated as whether non-existence (nothingness) exists which is obviously a contradiction. Nothingness is the opposite of existence and hence it does not exist by definition.
I have to imagine the NYT staff, as biased and (IMO) as poor as they are at news-writing, must take no pleasure in being asked to doxx subjects of their stories on the arbitrary and capricious whims of management. Most journalists I know are good people, even when they perpetuate a bad system. They tend to be quite left and sometimes (many times) blindly biased, yet pursuit of the truth is the main goal for the bulk of journalists. Most editors, by contrast, seem genuinely terrible. They thwart honest journalists at every opportunity to sell something fake but salacious. (Something similar can be observed about academia and the faculty vis-a-vis the deans and university administration.)

I imagine many in the NYT are looking at Carlson or Scott Alexander and are saying, "hmm, would I want my own personal details published?"
Hello, it is old screens
Folks looking for a Medium alternative, please checkout https://diff.blog. It's an aggregator of developer and engineering blogs I built an year back. It has been growing steadily since. The reason why I built this was to solve the problem of disoveralibilty of self hosted blogs. It's hard for bloggers with self hosted blogs to reach a big audience. So a lot of them end up moving to a platform like Medium which gives them the audience. But they in turn give up their identity and content. diff.blog aims to fix that by solving the discoverabilty problem of self hosted blogs. Though dif.blog is not anywhere near in terms of the audience size of Medium at the moment. But hopefully it will come close one day.
Whoever is paying the most, probably?
I can build one for $20
Another thing I would echo here is that you don't necessarily need a CMS / WYSIWYG editor to run a great blog. A tiny script that dynamically compiles your markdown flavour of choice and has a nginx reverse proxy in front of it will be able to survive a reddit frontpage hit on a $5/mo vps, and it will be dead simple to set up.

If you're looking to move off Medium, give it a try. If anyone is interested I'm happy to share the mini server I wrote to compile pug aka jade / stylus, which is what I use for my blog.
I would add one : when you look after you baby/toddler, don't be tempted to do something else at the same time, say read HN.

Your baby will be unhappy and you angry.
Some of the gains here are from compression, does the compressed size matter for fitting into cache? Surely it's stored as the uncompressed size after expansion?
TS really shines when you have to work with other people’s code. This week I probably touched about 2000+ files and changes various apis. TS was really great in giving that confidence that what I am calling actually existed.

I had ~2000 errors and slowly worked to 0. tsc —watch is so good for iterative development.

And LSP (Language Server Protocol) really is a boon for the industry. So many tools can work together. Thank you VSCode for paving the way to an open protocol.
Some minimal/framebuffer/cli browser links from my bookmarks:

- https://www.brow.sh is a cli (not framebuffer) browser based on a Firefox plugin

- https://www.uzbl.org is a set of python scripts implementing a browser

- https://github.com/balenalabs/balena-wpe is WPEWebkit with framebuffer output

- https://github.com/TOLDOTECHNIK/buildroot-webkit is another WPEWebkit, but I'm not sure if it's got framebuffer support or not
"it's easy anyone can do it."

Those are not my words though, I was merely giving some alternative view because your posts make it sound (to me) like it's not easy at all.

Would have to compare irl, but from the looks and manual that does actually look a bit harder than the Robot which is the most basic it can get.
Perhaps disdain is the wrong word. But did not Odysseus claim that he beat Troy without the help of the gods?

I know the blinding and taunting of the cyclops was when he pissed off Poseidon. But I seem to recall that other gods were mad at him too.

Edit: killing Helios cattle was also a bad move.

Odysseus had the favor of Athena though, and I don't think he ever lost it.
Deep learning to translate between programming languages

I absolutely support certain kinds of censorship, yes. You do too (for example, I expect you support Youtube's right to keep pornogrophy off it's platform).

That you draw the line on how private entities choose to interact in a different place than I do doesn't make you more righteous.

> I assume you think it would be a no big deal if Harvard started banning certain ideas and expelling people that talked about them.

I certainly hope there are certain ideas that Harvard bans. They certainly ban specific forms of research. That's why we have IRBs, because people, when free to research any topic without any oversight, did awful things to other people.

> 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

No. I have no responsibility to assist you in publishing drivel, and the idea that I or anyone else has a moral responsibility to help you publish drivel is nonsense. Much as I have a right to tell you that you are wrong, I also have a right to not help you spread your message. To deny that is a perversion of the right of free expression.
I don't think this is true in general. It may be true for a novice, who needs all the available help to keep them rigorous (but even then, there is definitely room for reading-to-build-intuition), but symbols definitely slow you down while you translate them.
Yes. It's a Firefox plugin.
Svelte is nice, but man I just want to use JSX. Don’t make me learn another templating language.
Why is it worthy of a lot more than $361 million in initial funding?

Your premise is that it'll stop at $75 million in funding. I'd bet against that premise. The US Government has a tendency to start its programs small and expand them considerably over time.

Besides, the US simultaneously has several of the world's largest companies pouring resources into quantum computing (Google, IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Honeywell, Lockheed, Intel, et al.). It's not as though $75 million is the extent of US investment into the space.
It always comes back to capital, sure. Technically your ISP could disappear tomorrow, or your region's power could go out. _Then what?_ There's always some bit of internet infrastructure you don't own or that necessitates money. But infrastructure is different. As long as you pay (and aren't doing anything particularly illegal), your server will probably continue to exist. And if not, you just buy or rent a computer in a different data center, or even set up a server on a spare computer at home. But you're much less likely to have your hosting provider pull sketchy Medium-style nonsense than, well, Medium.
I don't think pre-school children are the only people who are poor at recognising or expressing what they really want, I think that's a fairly universal thing. It's very easy to get an idea about what the solution should be & make a request based on that rather than basing the request on the problem you're facing.

A good analogy I heard recently (more to do with planning your own projects than requesting stuff in other people's, but I think it still works): imagine you have a large patch of grass and it is taking too long to cut. There are a couple of ways to define that problem:

* I need a better lawnmower

* I need a better way to cut grass

The first locks you in to a particular solution (lawnmower), but there may be a better possible solution out there, and the second statement opens it up a bit. So bringing that back to the user request thing, if your user requests a better lawnmower, make sure there isn't some better way to have the grass cut instead.
I use Amadeus. The ones I hear about most are Sound Forge and Adobe Audition. I think you’d only use Audition if you already had a Creative Cloud subscription. I’m also aware of alternatives like WaveLab, TwistedWave, Fission, Acoustica, and ocenaudio.

ocenaudio is probably the direct competitor to Audacity, since they’re both free.
I think Australia has invested at least that over the past 12 years. Last year UNSW's Quantum Computer lab got a $25 million grant extension.
For an app like medium, client side react with that many dependencies is perhaps not the right approach in the first place?

Server Side Rendering(react or w/o react) would be a better way to do serve their content and have the added benefit support users who have no js support (noScript , terminal based browsers, screen readers? etc)
They're checking for theft no matter what they claim.
After this whole NYT showdown, I'll definitely appreciate SSC more. I always liked it, but it was just one blog among many. The realization that it could disappear at any time somehow makes it seem more precious.

>The auction irregularity conducted by the alleged Shell company which was bought by JIO and highlighted by CAG was done in 2010

CAG highlighted irregularity with so many other things with the auction and top ruling party-alliance members were booked for scam, why didn't BJP take further action on this report then?

Meanwhile, Airtel/Vodafone (Competitors to Jio) have been asked to pay $ 12.3 Billion AGR dues after supreme court order. This wouldn't have happened if the ruling BJP Govt. had respected the order of TDSAT (Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal) which stayed the payments in 2015 in favor of said telecom companies.

This kind of blatant favoritism for Reliance, Adani etc. leading to total destruct ion of competitive business environment in India did not happen before.

Longhand matrix notation itself is quite good at this. It all but guarantees that you've specified the right number of components in the matrix, and it plays to human strengths in making it easy to check that a matrix is e.g. diagonal or upper-triangular.

I'm going to claim that string diagrams have reasonably good error-detection properties, too, again because they lay facts out in space in a way that humans are quite well optimised for.
Elo can be negative, so this doesn’t apply.
I like to ponder whether the territory is some giant graph of abstract conscious agents, and space-time as perceived is a simplified map of one’s adjacent nodes (connected agents).

Of course, this puts conventional causality on its head and at this point is ultimately unfalsifiable.
Product Thinking vs. Project Thinking
Audacity works well for that purpose. But not all things are intuitive and the interface looks quite dated to be honest.
The number of large (and hip) software companies which host their blogs on medium is mind boggling. With the amount of time they spend reinventing the wheels, one would think they would spend some time setting up their own blog.

Also, why do people host their tech tutorials on Medium? I have few of my own and always put them up on my own github pages blog. It's not too difficult.
What Do Buddhists Mean When They Talk About Emptiness? (1997)
I think the key differentiator is in distribution. If you build a web app it's immediately available to a sizable proportion of the human population (not that they'll necessarily use it). Getting similar reach with something offline is much harder.

As you say it's still not trivial (legacy browsers, funny standards, technical challenges of serving loads of users etc.) but Id argue it is substantially easier than the challenges involved in making a program written in visual basic available to billions of people.
