> Regardless, it should be obvious to anybody that has ever worked in a massive corporation that a DIY approach with react will not be opted for.

While it's public sector, I work for a fairly big, boring, enterprise org that doesn't publish anything on HN and for our apps that use a SPA framework, a “DIY approach with React” is pretty much exactly what we are doing,at least in my corner of the org. Never heard of anyone in the org using Angular (there's some shops doing jQuery/Bootstrap stuff, and some at least experimenting with Blazor which isn't surprising given how .NET-heavy the org has been.)

There was a time when Angular was sort of the enterprise Java of SPA frameworks, but I think that's kinda past already, and lots of big boring enterprises missed it completely.
You'd need to scan the whole file if you were trying to normalize the volume, but, generally real-time audio compression is pretty good (and what you want) if configured well.

You're almost never interested in whether the audio you're listening to is absolutely the loudest or softest across the entire file, you typically just want to minimize sudden changes that leave you straining to hear something unexpectedly quiet or bracing against something unexpectedly loud. This compressor works in two directions - downward compression on loud parts, and upward compression on soft parts, bringing them both closer to the median loudness - but preserving some smaller level of dynamic range, so things still sound "good".
A post on this topic is the top post on the screeps subreddit, but with no clear answers. Some posters found players who stopped playing unexpectedly during the appropriate timeframe, along with the group that player collaborated with. However, I don't know if there was any follow-up there, or if it was a dead end.

Fair enough. Quite hard to age him plus the beard.
Having read the previous HN post on this (leaving Ocaml) and this one, I'm going to post a different perspective on this.

As a programmer, I love reading blog posts about why someone made something, how they made it, and what tools they chose to use/create to facilitate their end-goals. Some of the frustrations the OP had with respect to Ocaml are some I - and many others - have experienced as well. Enumerating those constructively can potentially benefit the Ocaml community as well.

However, as a possible target user...

Reading blog posts like these are _scary_. It is very rare that I want to read a "hey, that service you use regularly? yeah, we decided to rebuild it from the ground up using entirely new tools 'just because'".

Will I still be able to work?
Should I postpone signing up/paying?
What new bugs will appear?
Which features I currently rely on will change or outright disappear/cease to work?
What edge cases that are currently handled will be forgotten?
The list goes on...

There are often very legitimate answers to these questions, and sometimes taking a HUGE step back in order to meet demands you didn't know existed before is what's required. But those requirements, and how this step back will address them, should be clearly laid out to your users.

More importantly, work such as this postpones any current roadmap features (potential) users may be waiting for and have been previously promised. Presumably an analysis has been done on how much they'd be postponed by, and why those features will benefit greatly once done. Sharing that would also be extremely helpful in assuaging concerns.
For those who didn't RTFA, this applies only to Spotify Radio, and to the "keep playing stuff like this after my playlist ends" auto-generated song selections..

I still think it's shady/shitty, but the scope does seem to be limited for now.

It does not say this will affect Discovery Weekly or Release Radar, although it's a slippery slope to those for sure.
The org put this guy in charge. He decided to not fix something. He represents the org on this issue. Therefore the org doesn't want it.

It seems like "Self-Driving" to the authors means simply that it has a query optimizer using ML.

I would counter that idea by suggesting that a more foolproof database would also incorporate truly solid auto-scaling, and global replication, so that one can just throw immense amounts of data into tables, while retaining fast CRUD operations worldwide, without any DBA support required. A little bit like the direction CockroachDB and TiDB are headed, perhaps.

That's a distinct possibility, but the odds that you've sent mail to your mother's house is high.

It doesn't take much information to infer relationships, and we constantly leak information which is aggregated and sold. Facebook and friends are playing on easy mode, the markets for this kind of data predate social media and the professionals are very, very good at it.

Problem with DMCA 1201 is that it's not even about copyright. It's about forbidding breaking DRM, which can have cases that have nothing to do with copyright (i.e nothing is infringed by breaking it).

So whatever was authorized for copyright, can't just automatically legitimize DMCA 1201 which is an overreaching prohibition (which is ironic, since what makes DRM itself unethical is that it's an overreaching preemptive policing).

If DMCA 1201 just forbade breaking DRM for copyright infringement, then it could be different. But it's not doing that, so it has to be repealed.

> the WIPO Copyright Treaty's undemocratic negotiation process is immaterial to constitutional questions.

This is important for showing the corrupt nature of both DRM proponents and policy around DRM. It is undemocratic to use treaties as a backdoor to control legislative process. It's simply corruption. And if it's the nature of treaties to be undemocratic, then there should be even a stronger to push against using them to subvert legislation.
This right here. Taxes can have a huge impact on behavior. However, corporation's ability to lobby can delay or stall any efforts to make meaningful changes quickly. I think we'll get there, but it'll take far longer than it needs to.

Hi All, OurContacts provides tooling to access shared contacts for dynamic and mobile teams.

Nursing, for aged care and home care, is the perfect storm, dynamic mobile teams with a fair amount of staff turnover.

I was also partially inspired by "The Social Dilemma" to take a look at ways to help break away from social media lock in.

I have been building web apps in the aged care sector for a number of years, primarily for home care and other mobile workforce applications.

Yes (sry) you have to create and account and login... for those about to comment, login=skip, it is still the easiest way to build a web app.

The answer in the subreddit is missing the historic dimension. The French Revolution toppled old powers , including religion and it labeled it as superstition. Universal rights were proclaimed (not granted by god), contrary to every religious doctrine. Secularism became a dogma. This had huge influence in the nascent new nations of europe. The spread of socialism and communism ensured further that christian religion would never recover. If there was demand for religion in europe, there would probably be a more vibrant market, but it that demand wasn't there.
One interesting language that is somewhat uniting in the Eastern Europe is Church Slavonic

Then you misunderstand. You are right that the VAT or similar financial matters require a very high degree of precision and accuracy. Physics simulations and similar computations even more so. These applications have a very LOW tolerance for error and -- rightfully so -- tend to have a lot of attention paid to their backends.

I contend that most applications are not these. I'll put it forward as professional experience that even financial adjacent systems have a surprising degree of error tolerance. Our engineers/scientists are constantly striving to improve correctness because that's what engineers do but it's plainly not a priority for our bottom line. Countless errors have been caught in the last year that made individual results quite questionable. But on the whole, the system and its results are accurate enough that we have plenty of customers and business keeping us busy.

I got 22 years out of a HP4000.

I bought two other HP printers later in that timeframe and they were both garbage in comparison to the HP4000.

I was big fan of HP at one time but have refused to even try any of their products for more than 10 years now -- their quality across-the-board dropped too low for my tastes.

Maybe this is a nitpick, but: it can be both true that per-pupil spending goes up and that spending on social programs via the DOEd goes down.

A concrete example: the current DOEd has increased funding of both charter and private schools. We can go back and forth on whether elements of that constitute social programs, but I think the point about it not being tied to the larger funding trend stands.

> But it's a particular research programme, embedded in a social context, that generates knowledge, not a single reproducible experiment.

Somewhat disagree. That particular research programme must still have reproducible experiment as a unit. A million irreproducible experiments will generate exactly zero knowledge.

> Who said anything about shutting him down?

Several had more than just something to say about it:

https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/7/17659026/alex-jones-deplat...

>> The great de-platforming of Alex Jones began last week, when Spotifyand Stitcher removed Infowars podcasts from their respective networks. (Spotify initially removed a handful of episodes before removing whole shows.) On Sunday night, Apple followed suit, removing his podcast from iTunes for violating its rules against hate speech.

>> Apple’s move was followed almost immediately by a rash of similar moves. Facebook removed Jones’ pages, citing repeated hate speech violations. YouTube followed suit, terminating an account that had 2.4 million subscribers. Pinterest came next.

> I was talking about the damage he's caused

Exactly how much damage has he caused? Serious question.

> and why people shouldn't just shrug and say, well, he's "thinking for himself"

People also shouldn't accept their subconscious heuristic predictions about the thoughts of others as representative of reality - this is a wise strategy not only when it comes to people who have a different skin color than you.

> ...as if there's some independent virtue to coming up with nonsense that outweighs the damage that coming up with nonsense can do.

Present your numbers and we can discuss.

> I can probably "uncover" real conspiracies by claiming that every single government action is a lie or a false flag. At some point, I'll be correct. That doesn't mean I'm actually performing a public service, a mindless chatbot could do that.

Are you suggesting that "claiming that every single government action is a lie or a false flag" is what (the average) conspiracy theorists do? If you don't mind, could you please state, in detail, which specific conspiracy communities you frequent, and how much time you spend there per week/month? I have a hunch that you're running purely on intuition and stories that you've read about conspiracy theory communities, as most people here clearly do.

> If he's not lying[0] and actually was psychotic when he said those things, then we should not take any of the conspiricizing he says seriously because it was literally the product of his own disordered thinking.

This is some interesting logic.

> [0] he is

This is some interesting mind reading. You know who are often big believers in ESP? Conspiracy theorists.

I've had two types of experience.

One - the person on the other end works for a different company and they can answer a few common questions, but everything else is "call this 800 number." Cell phone companies do this.

Two - the person immediately says "give me your phone number and lets talk on the phone" (car dealers are terrible for this).

I guess there is a third type - companies using a laughably terrible bot. I encountered this with Sony after I bought a game online and it wouldn't start. I eventually called in and they instantly refunded my money because I think it was a common problem.

I'm not a linguist but I think it would be useful to have a unifying term for these languages. If I say that I speak 4 languages at a native level, referring to the languages listed in the parent post, it's not exactly the same (to put it mildly) as someone speaking Russian, Polish, Bulgarian, and Czech at a native level, even if these languages too come from the same family.

As an anecdote, a friend once told me, that to really speak a language you must be able to understand jokes and poetry in that language. I tend to agree. With that in mind it's worth mentioning that to a great extent people from Serbia, Croatia, BH, and Montenegro listen to the same music, read the same literature, and tell the same jokes
Yes, what I was trying to articulate at the end was that the bot which finds urls to post only generated 3.7k karma after 1.5 months.

It is a good article, but the name is misleading. Albanian, Greek, Romanian are not Slavic languages at all. There is also Turkish, and few other minor languages spoken.

This article should be named: "What language do people in former Yugoslavian countries speak"

More than half of the Balkans are not slavic.

As for slavic languages: Croatian and Serbian are pretty much the same, and Bosnian is similar close enough. Slovenian is slightly different, then there is Bulgarian. Macedonian is just a dialect of Bulgarian language.

Non slavic languages:

Albanian - Isolate of indo-european languages (its own branch)

Greek - its own branch of indo-european languages

Romanian - Latin branch, with some Dacian (less than 2%)

Other Minor Languages: Turkish, Romani Variants, etc - (aka, i.e. not to be confused with romanian, but it is an indian origin language)

As for the whole peninsula, they share a lot of common words due to the ottoman empire's past, which is called a Balkan Sprachbund
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkan_sprachbund

Even they might share some words, name of objects, or food dishes, A Greek, an Albanian, a Slavic, and a Romanian person will not be able to understand each other at all.
