If it's a programming tutorial, it seems like the ad doesn't need to be targeted to you specifically, but to programmers in general. I really don't want to see another Zappos ad for some shoes I bought a month ago when reading a React tutorial.
One reason why the PI can be slow here is lack of any ARMv8 Crypto Extensions and by running in 64 bit mode it can make it even slower.

I’m a long-time ham (DE K2KD) but one thing I missed out on was the fun of building a mega vacuum tube amplifier.

I remember fondly gawking over things like the 3-1000Z tubes and dreaming of having an amp like this on my desk:

Vega-Lite is built on Vega, which is fully reactive and can do partial updates. In order to use it, you need to update the data via the Vega view api. Check out https://vega.github.io/vega/docs/api/view/#view_data.

One other piece of advice I have it to reduce the number of marks you need to draw with aggregation or sampling. I used this approach in https://github.com/uwdata/falcon to visualize billions of points and interact with them in real time.
I agree. I use Google for news/article recommendations and I ended up banning medium.
Medium does help with a lot of distribution through internal members. That's really nice when you're trying to get an article to many people quickly but, point taken. We'll be reblogging all our content on a self hosted Jekkyl instance and Substack from now on.
Or perhaps the software version.

I dont think I have narrow interests. I just think Netflix is extremely shallow garbage entertainment. Similar to watching TV. I was forced on serveral social occasions to watch netflix. I would be alright with it like i am alright with people watching TV. But people pretend like this is the greatest thing ever sooo much better than watching TV. Its a very undignified ritual you have to go through to do even more undignifed stuff.
You can't really 'hack' a ToS on technicalities. Mailchimp's ToS, like most, are evaluated in their "sole discretion". Businesses in the US can generally choose who they want to do business with for any reason other than membership in a protected class.
I usually search for documentation or tech problems in a text browser with cookies disabled, no js, no css, using tor and using an empty user agent.

I won't try to guess why, but the few pages I can access are always high quality, while poor quality pages (as discovered when opening the page anyway in a full browser) always try to block that setup.
>> Lyrics parody swaps one set of words that accompany a melody with a new set
of words, preserving the number of syllables per line and the rhyme scheme

That's an interesting definition of "lyrics parody" - interesting in that it
ommits the most obvious component of lyrics parody, in that the replacement
must result in a, well, parody. Of the original.

For example, take the result listed in table 1 in the paper, where the
original lyrics of Micheal Jackson's "Beat It" are parodied by Weird Al
Yankovic (with a lower-case "L") and the paper's system (Weird AI Yankovic,
which an uppercase "i"). Jackson is first, Weird Al is second, Weird AI is
third:

They told him don't you ever
come around her
Don't want to see your face, you
better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their
words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

How come you're always such a
fussy young man?
Don't want no Captain Crunch,
don't want no Raisin Bran
Well, don't you know that other
kids are starving in Japan?
So eat it, just eat it

The best part is that each taco
contains a small
To medium sized piece of sliced
chicken nepal
I don't think the food in question
lasted awhile
I promise, just promise

I'll spare the HN readership an erudite analysis of why Weird Al's parody is a
parody- basically, it's funny and it makes one laugh. The Weird AI's "parody"
is just a bunch of text that rhymes and sounds nonsensical, but it's missing
the point of coming up with nonsensical rhymes; namely, to make you laugh. Or
in other words not all nonsensical rhymes are funny and you can't call
something a "parody" just because it's nonsensical and it rhymes.

But maybe this is a bit of a joke and I missunderstand it? I have been told
that I miss a humour module, at times, so maybe it's my fault for
misunderstanding why this system is interesting? "It generates nonsensical
language that rhymes, surely that's an achievement", that sort of thing.

Oh, apparently the author contemplates a fart mode, following user
suggestions. Maybe I really am misunderstanding this.

Maybe all of arxiv is really a big joke and I'm just not in on it.

While there are still some people who treat the arcade pcbs as inherently superior to mame, the general consensus nowadays (at least for DK) is that mame plays arcade perfect.

In fact TG has a separate leader board to track the mame high scores. Which is one of the most frustrating things about this whole affair... if Billy really wanted to use mame he could have just submitted his score under the mame category instead of lying and submitting it under the arcade hardware category!
For me whether or not to use a permissive license for a personal project is pretty easy: if I'm writing a library or trying to promote an open standard, then it'll probably be in my interests that a lot of people use it in their own projects, even if I don't get to see exactly how, so I'll try to make it MIT/BSD licensed. If the code I'm writing is supposed to be an user-facing "finished" product, then it'll probably be in my best interests that if people want to make something based upon it that I'll be able to see some of that work, so I use (A)GPL. Has worked pretty well for me so far, I still believe that the copyright system, and indeed IP law in general is deeply flawed and in dire need for reform, but that's how I make do for now.

> But it isn't just opinion. He backs up his statements with references, facts, summaries of what's going on and generally puts what's happening in context, which is exactly what a journalist is meant to do.

No it’s not. Most opinion pieces have some kind of facts or summaries included to make their argument. The difference between journalism and the newsroom is that they stop at the facts and the summaries, and opinions go on to tell you how you should interpret them (in the author’s view). That’s what Taibbi does. I too tend to agree with his opinions, but people here are confusing “agreeing with his opinions” with “he’s a much better journalist than those found in standard media outlets”. He shouldn’t be considered a journalist, as he exclusively writes opinion pieces.
I used to mirror some of my more general interest stuff on Medium. I actually found the formatting pretty nice and figured there was 1.) Some discoverability and 2.) Some people, possibly out of ignorance, associate/associated Medium with more credibility than a random personal blog.

I do use Blogger, so load isn't actually an issue.

Since the paywall became increasingly obtrusive I stopped mirroring and just use my own blog or one of the numerous other publication channels I write for.
This isn't a Quantopian alternative, Quantopian let you write real code and automatically trade based on it. It also let you trade buckets of stocks, not just one.

This is just a very basic strategy backtester, there are plenty like it, you can find them if you Google "technical backtester" and some of the brokers (e.g. TD Ameritrade) even let you do such backtests in their platforms (e.g. Thinkscript, though that's a tad more Quantopian-like than this tool).

If you want a _real_ Quantopian alternative, look at QuantConnect [0]. Interestingly, it's .NET based and you can write C#, F#, Python or whatever you want.

And the trading engine is open-source [1] and you can run it yourself.

Pygame is great if you want to enjoy the process of low-level game programming but also want to abstract away the lowest levels. If your goal is to build a product (rather than enjoy a process) picking up a game engine is probably going to yield faster results.
Twitter and Facebook are in monopolistic positions. Mailchimp isn't. There are many things that normal companies are allowed to do but monopolies aren't.

Twitter/Facebook may or may not be legal monopolies and this type of behaviour may or may not be one of those protected activities, but both pieces can be made from a moral position if not a legal one.

The monopolistic aspect is why this feels more acceptable for Mailchimp than for Twitter/Facebook.
You can usually tell from skimming the blog post / looking back at the author's history of posts - it's hard to put it into words.

I suspect quality means different things to different people and even changes based on context for the same person.

For instance, a blog describing some arcane linux command to run to fix the issue you're having does not need to be the same level of quality as something you're reading to learn + get in depth info about a topic you know at a very shallow level.
If you hire a different kid everyday to ring my doorbell and don't tell them you've been pestering me for weeks, I'm not going to take it out on the kid.

Personally, I use an ad blocker - because I'm worried about the security of third-party code running on my machine. But I'm also moving towards the OP's idea... I stop reading articles/content that require a technical workaround to a political/philosophical problem. Any workaround strengthens the core problem.

Medium doesn't mind if you use a workaround - as long as you are using it. The business model is validated and metrics show that users are happy with it. The only way to change their mind is to stop using it entirely.

Looks like the glfw library is built for windows as a DLL and then packed as bytes into a go const and loaded at runtime! Cool beans, wish more people could appreciate how fun that is.
this is a general statement.

I have found several articles about Apache Kafka on Medium that have helped me a lot. I have no idea if it's by a junior dev or not.
> That graph looks like a hockey stick. Is it really accelerating or are we just getting better at detecting it (this makes more sense)?

I suspect it is a piecewise combination of two linear functions. There was probably a ~fixed sensitivity across Runs 1-2, with some upgrades before Run 3[0], which resulted in an improved sensitivity for that run. So in effect the slope of detections/time is steeper with the improved sensitivity.

Legions huh? Do you have something to back up that claim.

It's often stated - and worried about, but whenever a thread comes up about devs over 50, we mainly see counterexamples.
What is amazing is that Tesla is able to scale testing tremendously with this and that's probably why they'll be the first ones to make it.

The misuse of colour in science communication
TG removing his scores isn't at issue. I don't think there's a court that could order them to reinstate his scores, since it would be the government ordering them to engage in some speech. His claim is that TG called him a cheater.

For purposes of this ruling the judge found that TG's statements were not opinion but were held out as fact. I think TG did themselves no favors in being cagey. They could've easily formulated their statement as an opinion based on disclosed facts. In essence, "I think John is a drunk" may be defamatory because it implies undisclosed facts while "I think John is a drunk because he buys a liter of vodka each week" is an opinion.
The real reason is that Twin Galaxies were quite old fashioned (maybe still are?). Didn't allow emulators, glitches, various other things. It's partly why most speedrun leaderboards are kept on speedrun.com now, as the games communities get to dictate the rules, rather than the owners of Twin Galaxies.
My first project was a stand for the table saw. Working on the floor was a pain!
surely the latter, and that is what the sentence implies: "observatories [...] have dramatically increased their sensitivity"
And for the low, low price of whatever Greenwald is going to charge for his lucrative substack, you can have him!

So the vast ecosystem and ready functionality offered by typescript or other high level languages is worth less than what exactly?

Well, Medium has higher quality/$ ratio than virtually any other journal I know.

Yes, it has its issue but for many it is an easier writing experience than setting up one's own blog. In fact, a few people I mentored started writing precisely because there is Medium.

(I subscribe them. I wrote a few article on Medium. Yes, if for one there is no difference, I suggest GitHub pages a way to disseminate knowledge.)
Not yet, although sand dance is built on top of Vega and implements a custom renderer. https://sanddance.js.org
It's a friendly wrapper to SDL. The people saying "but it's not a serious engine" are letting the point of it fly over their head. If what you want is some raw control over I/O it's a fine choice, provided you aren't going for a compute-intensive main loop. I know of a few folks who shipped pygame stuff in the 2000's - that was an era when software rendering was still defacto the right choice for high compatibility, and of the options for speeding up development, a dynamic typed language offered some compelling advantages. If your game didn't scroll the screen, or targeted low res and 256 colors, or you mixed it with pyOpenGL, it was hardly the end of the world. The first comment in that Quora thread is from a student, who unsurprisingly has blamed the tool.

Emphasis on "pygame is slow" mostly comes down to "Python* is slow", and that, too, has an asterisk in that you can hybridize to add Cython or a C module. It will never be as fast as a good native code implementation, but when using all available tools to extend performance, you could easily accomplish just about anything from 90's-era gaming.

I don't have a problem with ads in general. But, I prefer not to have targeted ads -- I prefer ads that shoot from the hip and know as little about me as possible. I know that's not as compelling for advertisers, but they did ok with that model for a century.

I mean, if it were just as simple as, he likes gadgets and cycling: let's show him an ad for a new bike accessory -- that isn't so bad.

But when they know what your mood is, what your insecurities are, what your financial situation is, past purchases at one retailer linked with your phone number to purchases at another retailer, how likely you are to buy at a certain time of day, etc and then they show you the right ad, in the right place at the right time to exploit all of those things... that is too manipulative for my taste.
Most technical content on Medium is a waste of time. It's now mostly shallow and low quality. If you are a developer you should have your own blog or write on a platform that's not paywalled. If you are writing to share information do where it will be publicly accessible.
It makes more sense (to me at least) to think of glass as an amorphous solid and expand the concept of “states of matter.” It doesn’t have a repeating crystalline structure.

I think expand the concept of states of matter is key. It really helps make sense of a lot more things when you move beyond just solid, liquid, and gas (and plasma). A good example are liquid crystals, in LCDs yes but also cell membranes. What state of matter is the cell membrane? It makes more sense to create a new phase to categorize it. The lipid molecules are arranged in a certain orientation to each other (crystalline) but are also free to shuffle past each other (liquid). This is not just academic. Your body uses cholesterol to modify the fluidity vs. crystalinity of your cell membranes so they don’t “freeze) (stiffen too much) in the winter or melt in the summer.
csvtool is also nice.[0][1] csvkit is very flexible and can certainly be used in anger, but is a bit finicky; you almost always want to use the -I (--no-inference) option. Additionally, I wrote a tiny Perl script for quick awk-like oneliners.[2]

He’s saying the published stats could be off because of a bias toward diagnosing flu deaths as COVID deaths without testing for COVID. That is, the suggestion seems to me to be that the sampling methodology may underrepresent flu. I don’t know that I agree, but I suppose it’s possible.
A large part of leadership/strategy in tech companies is ex-consultants and MBAs.

Follow up question. What are opinions on publishing technical books?
While the Article4 are definitly highly opinionated, I don't see this as presenting any conspiracy theories.

People are making a mistake of evaluating Rust web development exclusively on the basis of performance. If you're doing web development professionally, using Rust will make you more productive and happy. The first few months onboarding with the language are challenging, but working with Rust is a very rewarding experience. The thing about Rust web dev expertise is that once you reach parity in capabilities with that of another language, there's no reason not to use Rust even where performance isn't absolutely necessary. There's no going back once you've gone down the Rust path because you'll be able to build better solutions with even greater velocity than if you were doing so with a dynamic language. Again, the first few months working with Rust are challenging, but it pays off!
