Not helpful—the problem exists on the latest version of Audacity (2.4.2), and there is no option to change the host. Audacity should never be changing the system audio levels anyway, and it is worrying that the Audacity developers ever thought that this was acceptable behavior.

Honestly, Audacity is just such an all-around nightmare that I don’t think fixing one or two problems would make a difference anyway.
The problem is that the tablet is THICK and not that much more modular that any phone. You can replace battery/speaker on the most phones. And storage/memory/CPU and even audio jacks(first things to break off pcb) are soldered.

> China is the only country to rival the U.S. for the sheer size and breadth of its Internet companies, thanks to the combination of a massive market and the lack of competition

Author assumes that Amazon, eBay, Newegg and Paypal was banned or blocked in China. It's not. Alibaba & jd.com won the market by competition.
Exactly, there is a good chance we don't have (and never will have) the neural power or processing power needed to figure out how things "started" because our frame of reference of how things should work ("things must have come from somewhere!") is very likely insufficient.
A relative of mine who was rather famous European politician said this to me when I asked him what makes a campaign successful.
To succeed in politics you should have ONE central point, otherwise nobody will remember what you stand for.

had he said there were multiple important things for a successful political campaign, I would not have remembered that conversation.
Not been my experience. I don't know many journalists but every one I do know is a horrible person. They all relish the idea of a salacious story.
Thank you!. At the moment diff.blog only parses English blogs from the feed. So If your blog has mixed content you can still submit the blog.

I have plan for supporting other langauges as well in future. Creating subdomains like de.diff.blog, ml.diff.blog, etc which only contains the blog posts in the respective languages should probably be good enough. The main difficulty is finding the initial set of blogs that are popular in languages which I don't understand and creating an initial user base. Maybe not be probably as hard as I make it sound.
So there's 10% chance I'm wrong. That's 10% chance of losing some mmr vs 90% chance of losing 30 minutes of my life. I don't have much time to play so in sc2 I would just go to the next game.

Sadly in a team game you can't make that choice because disconnecting too much will prevent you from playing all the fun modes (and will put you into a low priority queue where you play with people who constantly insult everybody or kill their own allies).

That's the root cause of all the toxicity in dota.
Ohh, thank you! Didn't realize that was the case.
It's anyone who is anti-fascist. It's literally in the name. There is no organisation, just a movement. People who identify as Antifa do organise but there is no organisation as such. It's like Anon in that regard.

If you don't identify as Antifa you're basically admitting you're a fascist. If you don't agree with some actions taken by others who identify as Antifa that's fine but that doesn't make you a fascist. You can separate the movement from the action. Just some food for thought.
>Of course I'm not supporting nazism

Nazism is the easy target. The precedence is removal of something legal by a moral/social decision by a corporate entity. This is dangerous.

In the 50s, had they had internet, it could be leftist or communist sympathizers' blogs (under the red scare). In the 60s it could be blacks civil rights blogs (imagine a conservative southern CDN), In the 70s/80s it could be pro-gay writings. In the GWB era it could be criticism of various wars, etc - like the Dixie Chicks had their shows cancelled for speaking out.

It already includes all kind of right and left ideas stomped, if they don't agree not just with your local country morals, but what with Americans think those should be (this includes FB banning posts for "nudity" in 2020, as if we're in the Victorian era, or as if it's e.g. French users are ok with puritanism).
Monk's biography is fantastic. But I have to disagree, it gives an intimate picture his life, relationships and general outlook, but only glancing snippets of his philosophy. If you are interested in his thought, you would do far better just reading Wittgenstein himself, or reading one of the many fantastic overviews of his work - I would recommend Hans Sluga's book, the Routledge introduction to the Philosophical Investigations, and the Cambridge Companion to Wittgenstein.
[SSG recommendation request]

I want an SSG with the following requirements:

- Support for (simple) custom CSS written from scratch must be first class citizen, and not buried in a dark corner of the docs.

- RSS feed.

Hi, DGXL does not support formulas at this time and I am not sure if I will implement the feature. I'll let it depend on popular demand.

There are a few products out there that implement formulas. A site like www.jspreadsheets.com mentions a few. Many of these products are not super-reliable or performant though (reason why I started building DGXL in the first place).
I think it's wrong to rationalize what YouPlus CEO did to investors by saying he was like so many other people in startup culture; his actions don't represent silicon valley. I wish more people would call out startups like YouPlus when they take money from investors for the business they don't have and for the technology that only exists inside their heads.

Yes - they do act like publisher. There is even editorial guide called "guidelines". They will remove things they don't want.

I've always thought of space-time as a convenience for modern thought about how the world works.

We can think about the fact that while we look at a distant galaxy 2 million light years away, that galaxy is in fact at this current moment, doing its own thing and we won't know about it until that light arrives here.

Since we can't observe that galaxy's current state until another 2 million years, it's not very useful to think about it in those terms.

Similarly, we can imagine a time when there was absolutely nothing. It doesn't make sense, but we can imagine it.

We can then imagine what it would take to go from that state into a state where there is matter and other laws of physics and wonder how we went from one state to another.

Then you might suppose that there was never a state of nothingness, and then you might wonder how that could be.

I feel that the author fails to address these basic points of the question "why is there something rather than nothing", so it's hard to move on from that, personally.
I've got a PhD in maths and can translate symbols into concepts in my brain much quicker than words into concepts in general. Also writing symbolically forces a rigour on the writer. I've been trying to read some semi-mathematical stuff written by scientists but non-mathematicians recently and it is painful trying to figure out what they really mean!

> So are you saying that there's an essential difference between someone who owns an apartment or two and rents them out vs. someone who owns an equal amount of an investment fun

Yes, the difference is that land was not created by anyone, it is given to us by the earth. Thus everyone is entitled to their fair share of the land. Land ownership itself is the exclusion of land from everyone else - a monopoly. Any profit made off of the land value itself is unearned income, and should be taxed.

I'd also advise you not to put such faith on the informal fallacies. They are not as useful as you seem to think.
SuperExpressive()
.anythingButString('aeiou')
.toRegex();
// ->
/(?:[^a][^e][^i][^o][^u])/

This is incorrect. It will match "frank" (that would be incorrect if the method is supposed to avoid all vowels) and won't match "aeiuo" (that would be incorrect if the method is supposed to accept anything but the exact string "aeiou"). Assuming the latter was intended, the correct behavior depends on the negation operator which is not natively supported in ECMAScript; simulation is possible (as negation of regular language is still regular) but at that point RegExp tends to be a bad solution.

While there is some resemblance of truth in your argument but to compare India's democratically elected government to CCP authoritarianism is totally absurd.
There is always lobbying and influence peddling in any government in any part of the world but to pronounce something diabolical with rather tenuous anecdotal evidence is just political posturing.
Nothingness in mathematics is an issue and a problem. Proof by contradiction was at one time controversial. That the empty set is unique is an axiom in some versions of set theory.

An operational definition of nothingness is that you apply a sensing operation to something, and if the sensing operation does not succeed, the thing being sensed is a nothingness. Nothingness is defined by the sensing operation. This resolves some, but not all, of the problems.

The other side of this is "what is a something"? That's what led Democritus to invent atoms as a philosophical primitive. Everything bigger than an atom is a grouping of atoms and is defined by some abstraction over the primitives. Straightforward. Then came subatomic physics.

The article contains a theological discussion which is just the first cause argument for God. The answer to "who created God" is usually "shut up, kid". That argument hasn't had much traction in recent centuries.

That's the biggest trade-off I had to make. DXGL does not implement HTML markup in cells: see Features & Limits (https://www.datagridxl.com/docs/features-limits).

That's why I try to make it clear that DGXL is meant for input, editing values. It's not meant for templating or making tables look all pretty for presentation means.

It was a tough decision I had to make, but in the end I am very happy with it. If people are looking for a data table with 100+ features (including markup), I will gladly refer them to 100 other products. But if they're looking for performance & reliability, I am quite convinced that DGXL is the best choice really.
No, power - within your own platform - absolutely means that you're right - again, within your own platform.
OK, where should those people live instead?
Based on how I understand the numbers in the tables, it looks to me like both implementations behave the same in the critical points, and AMD obviously achieves less distance from the "exact", but has some kind of truncating instead of rounding logic which changes the distribution of the approximations, and you discovered that with counting "less" and "greater." Congratulations!
Except you have instances of misuse of those well-defined symbols and notations. Without any accompanying language it can be very difficult to not only determine that there is an error, but then also figure out how to fix it.

And other times in some fields there is a lack of well-defined symbols and notations. I don't recall the specifics, but in game theory there is some notation that is ambiguous. There are two methods or forms of representation, and the field is split on which version the notation stands for. It's also frequently not mentioned explicitly in papers, so you have to dig around a bit to see if you can find a usage that makes the meaning clear.

I don't know why we can't just have both.
Again, if you have an argument then post it. Otherwise, simply saying "that's wrong" isn't very convincing or interesting.

Nice article, but not really a quantum computer or even a system that needs quantum mechanics to explain it. You could do the same calculation with an analog system (e.g. a capacitor that you add/remove charges to/from). The argument from Scott Aaronson about quantum advantage that the author refers to is really not very relevant, as a single qubit doesn't have any information encoding advantage over an analog system. A quantum computer simply cannot produce a speed advantage without relying on entanglement at some point during the quantum computation. So: no entanglement = no speed advantage.
If a user is trying to scroll horizontally, we can get the delta and get the scroll direction. Find the column width of the next/prev column and update the scroll property. An implementation can look like:

const nextColumnIndex =
scrollDeltaX < 0
? Math.max(0, columnStart - 1)
: Math.min(columnStart, columnCount - 1);

const columnWidth = getColumnWidth(
nextColumnIndex
);

scrollBar.scrollLeft += (scrollDeltaX < 0 ? -1 : 1) * columnWidth;

I used to hate the way Bayesian ML people used p(...), until I realised that strictly speaking for a conditional variable we ought to be writing: p_X|Y=y(x). The variable is X|Y=y so all that ought to be in the subscript.

It's definitely worthwhile everyone using the full notation at least once so they can get a feel for what's really going on. I've spoken to Bayesian ML professionals who are especially unconfortable with that because it conditions on a zero-probability event (if Y is continuous)... of course p(x|y) does too, they just weren't thinking about it before! And (as I think you're getting at) the appreviated p(x|y) simply throws away information e.g. there's no way to represent the identity p_Y(x)=p_X(x) without adding back some sort of subscript.

But on the other hand p(x|y) is obviously much visually cleaner. If you're writing out a more complex identity and the abbreviated notation isn't ambiguous then it generally communicates the idea much more clearly because there's so much less visual noise.

Funnily enough I'm really good at this at work and always tell my colleagues this. They often find me ridiculously relaxed in difficult situations. But at work, if I can't change something I don't worry (when a boss asks me 10 min before an important meeting to present it, I just wing it because the thought "They can't expect it to be perfect with only 10 min prep time", makes me very relaxed. But the thing is, with the small things I do worry about at home I often can change something. I can prevent the neighbor to be bothered by my new roof or at least I could talks with them about it. Of course, that only makes sense when we actually change the roof... But then again if they know we may change the roof they can also keep that in mind... At this point just tell the neighbor, but what if we never change the roof and he changes his plans based on my remark? I'd better move somewhere else quickly...

Ask HN: Resources to start learning about quantum computing?
Hi there,

I'm an experienced software engineer (+15 years dev experience, MsC in Computer Science) and quantum computing is the first thing in my experience that is being hard to grasp/understand. I'd love to fix that ;)

What resources would you recommend to start learning about quantum computing?

Ideally resources that touch both the theoretical base and evolve to more practical usages.
Quite interesting is that there are a bunch of blogging softwares that not only publish to the web, but also federate with Mastodon and other fediverse applications.

Most well-known is WriteFreely.org (written in Go) that can be a good replacement for Medium (hosted version is Write.as that comes with a paid subscription). But there are also new, more specialized apps such as FediReads and Readlebee that are Amazon Goodreads alternatives.

Here's a list of blogging apps in various stages of development:

Seems strange to insist so much on the fact that these are Chinese apps, or to link that to India's actiosn, when the official message is only complaining about lack of censorship of "obscene and immoral" contents.
