telesync uses an audio channel, telecine is just video and uses an electronic photomultiplier array as a sensor to convert the light of each frame on acetate to a bitfield frame, its not a camera but done properly it can be high quality. its not a cam its more like scanning each frame of film. the thing is about 20 years ago there was a lot of cams and TKs and TSs, now that streaming is the thing its not very common to see these and you know they are very old compared to the usual transcoding and wrapping nowadays

I remember going to the National Gallery in D.C. and while asking for a map the person at the desk told me "you should go to the tower, we have something very special there". It was an exhibit of some Rothkos and a video about his life and significance to help the viewer interpret his works.

I found the paintings terrible, but knowing I usually understand them more once I understand the artist I went to go watch the video. During the video there was a couple rude guys who started snickering at the video. Usually I get kind of upset about this sort of thing, but to be honest, I actually agreed with them. I came away from the experience feeling like I had just been part of a huge prank.

I learned that day that Rothko's painting are trash.

A couple years later I was in a small museum in another country, and across the room saw a painting of a couple of poorly rendered squares in flat shades and thought, "I bet that's a Rothko." Sure enough it was, and now I can recognize his paintings from 20 meters away. So I guess his work is recognizable and unique and I've learned some very begrudging respect for his work that way I guess -- they're at least recognizable trash.

I wouldn't say 'unnecessary' as such, adding people is one way to solve problems just not the only way

It is easier to solve problems by adding more people, especially when financial resources is not a constraint. However like technical debt, process and people debt will keep growing. There are some methods to have handle on it like the Spotify pod model, but no method is the magic bullet.

Every resource you add is additional cost not just on the payroll but also on the work overhead. 2x sized company will not do 2x work after all. At some point the incremental value of new resource is not worth the incremental cost.

I am not sure many startups consciously think this through while scaling up.

Just won't render, at all, for me. Lotta "Notebook not responding. There may be an infinite loop that has crashed this notebook, or a notebook open in another tab.".

So why should something happening in another tab be allowed to mess anything up? (Not that there is anything.)

No, sir, I didn't like it.
But why would you be doing a bunch of category theory stuff while writing softwares ?

Local open with let+ and let* make writing monadic and applicative code very easy when needed. Anything more abstract than that is over complex abstraction.

OCaml is not Haskell. Trying to write Haskell code in OCaml is always going to result in something highly unidiomatic.

> Maybe people should just use OCaml's object system. It solves a lot of these problems and is very powerful.

I have written a fair bit of OCaml and never actually encountered these problems. In practice, module prefixing and local open are just fine. You rarely use more than one module per function anyway.

I agree that the object system is nice but structural typing is rarely what you want and it leads to convoluted error messages.

> If one company took over all the physical land [in a prohibitively large area], and had everyone sign agreements to essentially pay taxes to them [...] that [that is] legal

Well, that's basically the definition of a country, so...

Edit: countries tend to define what is legal.
I take "speak" in the broad sense of "expressing something", saw animals (mainly dogs and cats) understanding what I say (not only my voice tone), expressing what appears to me as many types of sentiments and opinions, and often learn surprising related facts or theories... but aren't aware or anything about a non-human being expressing something on behalf of evil.

The (interesting) debate "are humans animals?" doesn't seem pertinent to me here. The author probably thinks they aren't, but his point isn't about this debate.
Without the developer account Epic loses access to the Apple developer toolchain. While it's theoretically possible that Epic could continue developing UE for Apple platforms without a developer account, it would be extremely difficult. If they even tried then Apple could just ban them from e.g. reading the documentation, so there's no reason to attempt it. Apple's intention by banning the developer account is crystal clear, they don't want apps using UE4 on Apple platforms. It may sound insane but that is the implication of it.
One of the most incredible examples of this I have experienced was the update to the Android 'Pocket Casts' app.
It worked great, had useful functionality and was easy to use and navigate. I had a paid version I thought was great value

Then, out of the blue, they replaced it with a re-write. The new app was slow, missing most of the functionality in the previous app (not esoteric stuff, but things like play lists).
The new UI was incomprehensible (even to me, a developer) and the had a massive number of serious bugs, like deleting your podcasts, missing episodes, never downloading episode and marking things you never listened to as played.
Over the last year or so they have been continually fixing things so now it's almost as good as the application it replaced.
Github packages works with Github CI out of the box, it makes development lot easier, like I mentioned for best networking in prod you should always use the registry from your k8s Provider, mirroring the Github registry to ECR/GCR/ACR is fairly straightforward. Bandwidth costs are eliminated, network is lot more reliable intra DC.
It's possible to use pipes, as well as redirection, but you need to do something like:

script-httpd bash -c 'some_command | some_other_command 2>&1'

For having a longer running service in the background it might make more sense to just use something like nginx as a reverse proxy. It is something I've been pondering though.

Ask HN: Any tips to learn how to make chip tunes and Lofi beats?
Some percentage of red blood cells injected under the kneecap will revert to stem cells and grow new cartilage. An acquaintance had it done to one of his knees decades ago and recently told me he needs it redone.

The doctor punched holes in his kneecap and injected red blood cells into the space where new cartilage was needed. He he rested the knee for six weeks after which he slowly increased use to normal.

According to my neighbor, the process was developed decades ago by veterinarians for horses and was then adopted by doctors of professional athletes. He personally knew a pro football player who'd had it done. It apparently cost "an arm and a leg", but his family could afford to pay for it.

Animal medicine and medicine for professional athletes proceeds faster than the medicine the rest of us have access to. "Follow the money" I guess.
Same, we didn't make it through the second season either. Just didn't find it interesting. I feel like the plot started getting stupider and the characters less interesting.
Every project I've worked in, got rid of mongo once they grew to any reasonable size due to cost and maintenance overhead. It's not a hindrance for small projects, but becomes a pain at scale in my experience. Based on that I'd never use it again for anything I plan to scale, gutting it out later is a pain. Might as well build it right the first time.
Has Atlassian stopped developing SourceTree for Mac?
Quines almost always have exactly the same structure:

- Header (code)

- Data blob (string variable) that encodes the header and footer

- Footer (code)

Since the data blob is a variable, the header/footer simply decode the data blob and write out the decoded header, original blob, and decoded footer.
The problem that seems clear to me is that you've never read the book series.

Only the first book could sensibly be considered or adapted as cyberpunk. Each of the sequels features the main character in a different time, location, and body. I'm somewhat surprised they were able to carry off the second season as well as they did.

Unless they had intended to use the first book as a jumping off point into a long series set in that particular instantiation, there was no way that they could successfully pull off an entire tv series.

Sometimes literature isn't easy to dramatize on television. I'm ok with that.
I think the writers decide if it is paywalled (if it is they get paid). Still would prefer just having ads but I guess adblock is too popular for its audience.

Learn how to use tracker software such as Milkytracker.
I had been using a great app that’s been around since before the iPhone came out (PocketMoney on Palm). They rewrote it for IOS, and it was able to import the database from the Palm version. Really great.

Then sadly the author died, and it languished for a while until it was sold to someone else. The new owner seemed to try to keep it going, but then finally gave up last year and crammed an absolutely awful “update” that was actually a totally different software via the automatic update process. Everyone’s financial data got locked up in this new version that is almost useless. ~20 years of financial tracking just gone. To make it worse, they did it in December, just before people would need to pull reports for tax season.

I like to swing by it on the App Store every once in a while just to drop a one star rating. That’s about the only recourse you have.
This isn't that complicated.

The answer is, simply: ED25519 if you're using modern services that support it.

or RSA (4096 or at least 2048 bits) for services that cannot handle ED25519 (including AWS -- yes, still, even in 2020.)

So you should probably generate both to cover most possible scenarios:

ssh -t ed25519 # for most purposes (not AWS)
ssh -t rsa -b 4096 # for when you're not using something like Userify
That's interesting. I'm a bit spoiled by primarily using Vim to write code and prosé in American English. Vim's digraph feature (Ctrl-K by default) has handled unicode char input nicely enough for me, but I wonder if the compose key could be of use when writing text in Japanese for example.

> Are you ready to pay for the ongoing support of all legacy interfaces

Part of the problem here is that software companies don't seem to ever ask this question in good faith (and of course, don't even realize that at an institutional level they don't actually care because common incentives for product and UX people are towards changes they can take credit for).

Try setting up a system where people can in fact pay for earlier UIs. See what happens.

(Term "earlier" used deliberately over "legacy", because it's only "legacy" if it's abandoned by either users or owners.)

Whilst it may not be technically true, most companies behave as if it is.
well, you've got to start somewhere, and arguably only by understanding something limited, like navigation in innate coordinate space takes us to a higher abstraction like concept spaces, which in turn can take us to higher cognitive abilities. And we do know a whole lot on how navigation works in animal and human brain, for example, and there is an active research on abstract representations in the brain as an extension of spatial navigation "toolbox". reduction is a basic principle of science.
Wireless Power Market Heats Up
Android has had sideloading for like a decade and no major app is installed via sideloading. Its entirely used for beginner developers, open source repos and piracy. The inconvenience of being out of store is bigger than the benefits of being in store. I think ultimately epic does not want the solution to be sideloading since they are having the same issues on android. They want to be on the app store and to have no fees.
That's awesome – better update the README. :-)

Several years ago I finally developed RSI. It took nearly a year of different setups and exercises to figure out what would work. The cause of RSI for me was a well known ergo keyboard. I had been using it for nearly a year before the pain/numbness started in my hands. I went back to standard slab keyboards, and every time I use a ergo keyboard the issues flare up again.

So, while I like the style of those keyboards, I can't justify spending that much if I am likely to develop RSI again.

I'm one of those weirdo's that has remapped caps to Lctrl/esc, tab to hyper/tab, \| to alt/\|, return to Rctl/enter. It's comfortable. (Ralt is now Compose/Dead Greek and Rctrl is Caps Lock)

I would love more buttons to the left of the keyboard. I currently use a 10-keyless but would love a cluster of 10-15 keys to the left of my left hand. and possibly 6 keys under the thumb area. And a real dedicated hyper key. Maybe another row of F-Keys too...

> should never update a user interface without allowing the previous one to be used as the default

Careful: Many UI changes are just branding refreshes. (How frequently do Coke cans change?)

But, moving around the buttons because someone felt like it is just dumb.

> should never change the format of data already stored on the system

Careful: Internal databases change schemas. It's impossible to keep a database schema through upgrades when new functionality requires an updated schema.

This particular request really depends on what the application is doing. For example, if an upgrade decided to automatically convert .doc files to .docx, that's a problem. But applications that maintain internal state need to be able to fix bugs or make general improvements to that internal state.

> must allow a revert to the previous situation

Software doesn't know the future; it can't handle schemas that didn't exist when written. More specifically, if an upgrade alters an application's internal state to match what's needed for a new version, there's no easy way to go back to the old internal state.

Man this article really echos my thoughts, which is surprising because I almost always feel like an outsider in Techland for hating updates that change perfectly good tools.

"But it's new!" is my most hated justification for changing software. If a tool works I almost always want it left alone. I don't care about the new layout or some new features. I'm using the software because it already suits my needs and I don't want to waste time and mental energy figuring out some changes that are useless to me.

I wish far more companies followed the approach laid out here. I think it would be far more respectful of users in almost all cases.

As awesome as the new Flight Simulator is, as an avgeek the Flight model is very disappointing. X-Plane can, and has, been used to design real world aircraft because you input the aircraft geometry and it simulates how it should fly based on that. MSFS extrapolates a lookup table over the input geometry, making it useless for real-world aerodynamic predictions.

From the consumer perspective, both models are capable of outputting accurate results, but from the developer perspective, MSFS is no better than FS 98.
My App Store updates badge is triple-digits. I resist updates as long as possible because they are almost always riskier than the rewards they bring. They introduce ads, or cloud features I never wanted, they force subscriptions, they add tracking.

At one point, I used my ancient text editor for 10+ years without updating it. I've used Sublime Text 2 for many years with no interest in updating it (though I'm sure it's better, it just does everything I need already). I used a version of non-monthly-payment Adobe Creative Suite for around 10 years without upgrading - I was still using the same file formats and didn't need anything new.

Almost every time I've updated an app, I've been burnt. Cruft I don't need, ads I don't want, phoning home on start up - ugh.

Look at temporal.io. It already implements the same idea, but without requiring a new programming language. You can write workflows in Python, Go and Java and soon many other languages.

It doesn't even require await/async style programming. You can make a synchronous call which can take a few days to complete without any problems. And in case of any failures the state of all threads and local variables is automatically restored.
