Pleroma: A Mastodon-compatible open and federated social networking server
This is a bit subjective, but IMO the guidelines don't provide a better end user experience. Sure, some of them do. But decisions like banning apps that compete with Apple don't seem to be done to help the end user

If the guidelines are actually good for the end user, why does Apple violate so many of the app store guidelines in their own apps?
Thanks for reading!

I don't know if I'd still feel like quitting but I would have more money so that would be nice.

Joking aside, it's really hard to say how I'd feel. 5 years is a long time and if I'd been able to put more money back into the project the story would have been very different.

In any case, I've grown a lot since I started that project and I'm ready to spend the next 5 years on something new. Hopefully more financially sustainable.

> Ugh, what rhetoric.

I agree. You seem to think that the police function should be re-examined and adjusted and you seem to be OK using the short hand of "defund the police" to communicate that. Unfortunately there are other folks who think that "defund the police" really does mean to zero out the budget of the police and there are all sorts of positions in between those two.

So I would assert that as a means to communicate clearly, "defund the police" fails miserably. It is terrible rhetoric that just sows confusion and promotes division.
I suspect part of the reluctance aside from their considerable sunk costs involved with their own supply chains, vast hierarchies and subdivision vested career interests, and just plain stubborness is a worry that they would be commodified if they all depended upon Tesla technology as their common core.
The digital pot the other person posted uses 7 bits for 0-10k ohms, so it’s much less precise than a real trim pot. For most arduino type applications that’s probably fine, but if the goal is to get super anal about nailing 33 1/3 rpm exactly, and keeping it in tune over slight environmental changes, then it really isn’t good enough.

I guess it would be fun to come up with some kind of feedback scheme that trims the digital pot automatically. But as a practical thing rather than a for the heck of it project it really doesn’t seem to be worth the effort over just using a pot.
One perhaps unintentional detail which makes that story realistic is that humans are the only species which processes sex and violence with the same part of the brain. In other words we are the only species prone to confuse sex and violence. It is one of just two sexual behaviors which are unique to humans (the other being we strongly prefer to do it in private).

> But abstract things can supervene on the physical. Information, for example, is abstract, but it supervenes on some physical stuff. Granted, information is not identical to any particular instantiation, but the abstract pattern can be manifested by a particular physical instantiation. You're welcome to call information immaterial if you like, but it presents no metaphysical difficulties for physicalism.

Example? The world "information" is often used in a magical way. Patterns need not be immaterial, and I never argued for that, but I really don't know what you mean by "information". (FWIW, "supervene" is another one of those terms.)

> Why are non-materialists so fucking angry? Incivility doesn't help your cause. If your arguments were good they would stand on their own without embellishment.

Pot to kettle? Looks, there's a history there that maybe you're not privy to. Eliminativists and other materialists have consistency refused to address these fundamental problems while simultaneously ridiculing and dismissing anyone who doesn't agree with them. So you'll have to forgive me for being "uncivil". After a while, it's hard not to conclude that we're dealing with willful ignorance or intellectual dishonesty.

Four centuries (14th-17th) of 'dancing mania' in Europe has been widely, hypothetically blamed on 'poisoning' by the ergot fungus from rye bread (which is not very popular anymore). Certainly, in the 17th century 'ergotism poisoning' caused tens of thousands of deaths in France, and large afflictions in Russia.

We dabbled with container gardening for the first time this year (just growing some plants out of pots that are sitting on our patio table). Our broccoli, spinach, and cilantro plants were failures, but our red pepper and basil plants are doing pretty well.

We harvested a bit of our basil again today and put it on a pizza we made, and it tastes amazing. That has made all the effort worth it.

We might try expanding our gardening efforts next year, but I'm not entirely sure of that. We'll at least keep the basil going indefinitely, just bring it inside during the winter, and plant more peppers next year, but not sure if I want to graduate to making a full garden yet.

Stream fusion in Haskell is done with rewrite rules. On the one hand, it's totally true that you're no longer really writing Haskell, and the facility for rewrite rules itself needed (at some point) to be added to the compiler. But at this point I can make my own data structures fuse (potentially in new ways) without further changes to the compiler.

Even the rational numbers have that property (the Archimedean property): for any distinct rationals s2 and s3, there exists a rational x such that s2 < x < s3.

Ask HN: Best 3D printer recommendation (budget: $1K)
I'm in the market for a 3D printer, my budget is around $1K. My goals are partly to learn the technology (I've been designing parts in Fusion 360) but to be able to prototype cases & components for embedded / IoT devices.

Any recommendations for summer 2020?

(FWIW, I've been considering at the Prusa i3 MK3S in kit form which with shipping and an RPi et. al. for OctoPrint is right at around $1K).

Thanks!

Vinyl is not "better". It just sounds different than digital playback. Some people like the characteristic of the sound output of vinyl better. It can be mostly described at "warmer" or "has more colour". Others really enjoy the physical nature of a record. I have both a large collection of ripped CDs to lossless format and vinyl records. I can tell the difference between the same album played on each medium. In both cases the music is being played to the same set of speakers via the same tube amp. Is one better than the other? That is down to what you like! Would say for most rock/pop/metal it does not matter. For classical/jazz/opera I prefer the sound of the vinyl.

One issue that others have pointed out is that how you master counts for a ton of how the music sounds. Unfortunely you can mess with the music more on the digital medium (there was for a long time a race to loudness and compression) which made things sound just freaking bad on mid-range setup. It was okay in headphones, but on any decent system it would sound like crap. The last few Metallica albums were like this.

At the end if you do like to listen to vinyl do NOT use a cheap player like this. Playing is physical motion and the tracking weight of the tone arm being high will destroy your vinyl.

There are tons of audiophile sites out there and some (most?) of the information you need to apply a reality filter to, but some of the reviews are pretty good. If you are looking for a good mid-range starter record player I recommend you look at the stuff from Rega. You can get a good very simple player for <$500 (I did not say cheap).

Ask HN: Does Apple enforce any 30% IAP cut guidelines on fintech apps?
I am working on a fintech app. Based on my experience, banks, trading apps like robinhood, and other fintech apps all seem to have their own payment systems/services incorporated (Stripe, etc).
Does anyone have any experience with dealing with App Review with products like this?

From the Apple dev docs:

> Apps utilizing a system other than the In-App Purchase API (IAP) to purchase content, functionality, or services in an App will be rejected.

And:

> Apps used for financial trading, investing, or money management should come from the financial institution performing such services or must use a public API offered by the institution in compliance with its Terms & Conditions.

And:

> Apps that provide services in highly-regulated fields (such as banking and financial services, healthcare, and air travel) or that require sensitive user information should be submitted by a legal entity that provides the services, and not by an individual developer.

Find a partner that has creative hobbies. My wife knits and writes, and I also write and design/code games/apps. We both need time to work on things, so it works out well for the most part (less so when she was in a creative slump and only wanted to watch TV every night for several months).

I also can do routine coding while the TV is on (doesn't require a lot of thinking, just typing it up and testing for minor bugs), so I can still make some progress during that, but it's less.

Granted I do have to spend more time on the relationship/taking care of dogs than when I just lived by myself, so I'm less productive than I used to be, but I still get to work on things.

On the one hand, the parent's comment is certainly hyperbole.

On the other hand, it's also the case that too any Haskell projects are under-documented. Probably worse than the typical language, and certainly worse than the best-in-class.

On the gripping hand... while types make poor documentation, they are always correct documentation, and they are automatically generated documentation. When I write Python or (apparently) Common Lisp, I can expect to get reasonable documentation by interrogating anything someone hands me. In Haskell, insofar as I have learned to get good information from the types, I get some (correct!) documentation for things that I have newly assembled myself!

Instead, are we merely spread humanity across the galaxy in centuries to come--if at all? For what purpose?

> american citizenship is required to apply for SpaceX jobs

Interestingly ITAR rules themselves only specify "US persons" (which includes LPRs, certain refugees/asylees), not necessarily exclusively citizens. It seems that restricting hiring to citizens in order to comply with ITAR may actually contradict the law:

https://www.wiggin.com/publication/hiring-u-s-citizens-only-...

https://www.justice.gov/crt/page/file/1080256/download

It's possible that certain SpaceX positions have additional clearance requirements that may require citizenship. However a random search on SpaceX's hiring site only specifies ITAR requirements, and it describes the "US persons" category correctly.

I also followed a pure maths education. I like lisp (in the CL/emacs lisp family more than scheme which tends to have smaller composable functions) and Haskell.

Android also has global issues with malware infections and crapware, primarily due to people downloading software from third-party app stores.

I’m not saying the apple model is how I want things (far from it), but it certainly has been effective at controlling malware on the platform.
And that’s the problem: in my opinion it should be illegal. If I pay the full price I own the device from top to bottom including the ability to change every piece of internal firmwares and software. Otherwise it is renting and must be presented as such from the beginning.

<h1>Laws for good User Experience (UX)</h1>
<dl>
<dt><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesthetic%E2%80%93usability_effect">Aesthetic Usability Effect</a></dt>
<dd>Users often perceive aesthetically pleasing design as more usable.</dd>
</dl>

HTML-ified, tweaked the text, expanded the initialism :P
Could be. You could also implement it for smaller businesses. I think another possibility is to sell excess compute back to some decentralized cloud, the same way you could sell excess solar power back to the grid.
Social media took them all down.
1. Users often perceive aesthetically pleasing design as design that’s more usable.

As a non-designer who's had to fight many designers on this, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that this is about perception. It's about a user's first impression regarding usability prior to actually using the system. It's not an actual impression based on their experience after interacting with it. That impression can quickly evaporate the moment they try to do anything with the interface. If time and money have to be allocated to develop a product, use them wisely. The properties of this principle seem to be more relevant to marketing and advertising than actual UX.

I believe that the wrong take-away from reading this law would be that improved esthetics implies improved usability. Attempting to place esthetics and function on the same pedestal would be a mistake. When it comes to usability, function is superior to esthetics and should almost always be given priority, no matter how ugly.

I agree that esthetics can and should be used in a way that it supports function, but as you add to it, there will always be a point of negative return (functionally speaking). If you misunderstand what that law is saying you might be misled into thinking that esthetic climax and usability climax are on the same locus. I think we can agree that something can often still be made even more beautiful way past the point where it's almost completely unusable. Adversely, you might be called into making something uglier in order for it to become useful again. Better get comfortable with the idea.
For people who want different app stores and all the issues that go along with it can use an Android?
