IIRC both VLC Player and mpv allow you to set a keyboard shortcut for increasing/decreasing audio-video delay and are capable of streaming directly from YouTube (and I believe any website supported by youtube-dl).

I use mpv and whenever I get audio latency from my headphones* I just adjust in the player.

* - It seems like there's some adaptive algorithm where they start off at 0ms latency but if they experience one hiccup they increase to 250ms-300ms and then another hiccup causes them to jump to 500ms. This is also why a keyboard shortcut that let's you adjust the exact a-v delay value is useful beyond just setting the value once.

I dig the HN fanfiction these days. refusing to leave? He's the president. The next one has not been decided.

They are not reporting, they are projecting and given how this election has been going, we don't need to hear CNN's projection as fact anymore than we need to hear Trumps'

I won't deny that HN as a whole has a conservative tilt (edit: at least in who's willing to flag and downvote), but I've always found dang's rulings on stuff fair and reasonable. We'll probably get a thread at some point with a stickied reminder to chill out.

You're on the right one!
This would make a good blog post. Maybe they should consider making one so we can have the article [in an easily readable/shareable/updateable form] after it's deleted from Twitter
Cope harder.
The article contains projections made by news outlets based on publicly available vote data. Based on those data, Biden has won.

The lawsuits and potential recounts are a separate process which are unaffected by the projections made by media outlets.

That said, it looks like the Trump campaign would have to flip three states to win, which seems unlikely.
Cope more
Well that was the case pre-2016 election. 2017-2020 Democrats did very well in special elections. It remains to be seen what happens to democratic enthusiasm under a Biden presidency.

You're right, it should have been full legalization so that only regulated producers make the drugs which makes them much safer for the populace and hurts and possibly shuts down the violent cartels. The problem is that it needs to be done in steps or some people who are afraid of change will get too worried that society is going to crumble and so they fight to keep the violence in place.

The problem is, I have yet to see any good faith efforts to govern on the part of Republicans in the past decade. Sure, Democrats make missteps all the time, and I'm more than happy to campaign with you against specific things that the Democrats have done over the years, but I can't think of a single good thing that Republicans have done in my adult lifetime. Since Newt Gingrich, it seems that Republican's primary purpose in life is to grab more power - the country be damned. I'm more that willing to vote for a Republican that isn't just a party shill, and has reasonable views on things like gay rights, abortion, the war on drugs, military spending, healthcare, etc, but I have yet to see even a single one. Romney, maybe? But not really, he's still a hyper partisan, except in like 2 things.
The NYTimes one has also been flagged now, and just about every comment in that thread has been downvoted heavily. My guess is it's a small group of users flagging everything about the election results.

With a lead of only 34k votes in Pennsylvania, and 135k ballots still left to count, considering the tensions in the country, IMHO the Associated Press should have waited a bit more before declaring Biden as a winner…
Biden will be 46th president
Because it had thoughtful discussion. Just look at the other threads on HN.
It'll take a while for the media to decide what narrative to settle on about how and why this happened, but to be honest, I don't think we should overthink it:

America has many systematic and cultural problems, and a deep divide about how it ought to be governed, and by who. Ultimately, though, a slim majority of voting Americans were not willing to tolerate the level of severe mismanagement of government that Donald Trump delivered, particularly over the last year with regards to coronavirus.

I think this says much less about us - good or bad - than we'd like it to. Personally, I am relieved, but I know the societal problems in this country will continue. I wish Joe Biden and Kamala Harris good luck, but I am not going to be cutting them a break, either.

We still have to decide what sort of country we want to be.
No, it's decided by electors, who will probably meet in December.

Before then, we can expect shenanigans, and we don't have a constitutional president. After then, we do.

We have an indirect democracy. Electors, in abstract, could vote to put the actor who plays Barney into the presidency. A few states have laws require electors to follow voters, but even there, electors can break laws.

We have a pretty good idea of who the president will be after voting, but that's how and when it becomes official.
This is getting flagged every 2 minutes. What is going on?
It is pretty unreal, something like 1 out of 4 of his tweet were hidden, at some point you'd think they would disable his account but that would probably put them in a dangerous position.
Many of the comments here are clearly for the use of the term engineer in a generic form. As a registered PE (traffic engineering, specifically), I do think there needs to be a clear difference between capital E Engineer and lowercase e engineer. In situations where public safety etc. are concerned, Engineers accept the liability when things go wrong. By placing my seal on a document, I take personal and professional responsibly for the accuracy of the information contained within. It is much more than just proof of education.

In the lowercase sense of engineer, I think it is fine to say, "I have engineered this solution." But to claim one is an Engineer because you engineered a solution misses much of the point of progressional licensure.

I, of course, come from the perspective of a PE not a coder. I have no doubt that influences my opinion on the matter. It doesn't mean I think the word engineer has one and only one meaning, context is important.

To use the doctor analogy, to say one is a doctor is vague and requires context. To say on is a medical doctor disambiguates the statement. Same applies to engineer. The inclusion of context is needed to make sure you are not talking about one who operates trains versus one that does structural design.

TL:DR - Context matters, make it clear what sort of engineering you perform.

What do you think they intend to do with those lists?
Georgia is going to recount since it is so close. I support that. Neither Trump nor Biden requested it, it was the state official who announced a recount.
But the threads keep getting flagged and buried before the discussion really starts. Its a catch-22.
It's probably going to be quite a bit more than 4 million. There are still several heavily blue states that have a lot of votes left to count.

California, for example, has only counted 77% of their votes. New York has counted 84%. Illinois has counted 89%.

I just caught the end of some discussion of this on NPR. Based on the number of votes left to count in the various states and how they are expected to turn out, there is a good chance it will end up at around 8 million.

Also, it probably makes more sense to look at it out of the number of voters, or the number of people who could have voted, rather than out of the whole population.

I don't agree with many of the points made in the article in regards to certifications (formal methods aren't there yet as an industry), but I did want to touch on that fact that "software engineer" is an aspiration term and many of today's "best practices" are pseudoscience, not based on something that can be provable.

And now they are both flagged. Ridiculous. I doubt the no politics rule on HN is fair at this point. I understand why it's present, but I feel it just silences waves of valid discussion about important topics.

I can not help but feel that Trump supporters are brigading these threads and actively trying to bury them. The fact that only old enough accounts can downvote means these are experienced HN contributors. Unsettling, really.
It is. For what it's worth, Georgia hasn't been called, so the outcome of the recount will not change the headline call.
Don't forget that this is coming from the Twitter ACAB folks celebrating a cop as vice president and potentially taking over the presidency.

This. The fact that the public was able to eventually push some of this idiocy aside ( there are still vestiges of really strong resistance ) is more of an indication of that somewhat hopeful message that will of the people eventually wills out. Granted, it took white teenagers doing what all teenagers do ( try everything ) to make it happen, but it happened.

I don't have a firm grasp on the history of prohibition, but my understanding is that at least there, at the time there was a real, clear drinking problem among the US population.

> The media was way too cautious in making the call here,

It's my understanding that it had zero to do with caution and all to do with the fact that the election was not decided.

If there are still votes that were not counted and the slim margin between both candidates is smaller than the number of unaccounted votes then the election results are yet to be determined. Thus it would make zero sense to claim that one candidate was the winner when the votes that are yet to be counted are enough to sway the results.

Everything around GraphQL seems to be assuming the client is user-operated such as a web or smartphone app, with the rare scenario of a node.js service being such a rarity that it takes some research to figure out if there's even a solution for it. Try to do anything beyond the basics with, for example, golang.

This is completely fine and understandable given the use-cases that motivated it, and the community that's been driving it.

But it's not a hammer for all nails. Reading the OP post, it's obvious they have a very narrow perspective when the one thing they compare it to is "REST".

The nice thing with HTTP/JSON, and IMO a major factor in it's ubiquity, is that it's an OK (while not always ideal) solution to implement towards for pretty much any use-case. Performant and stable HTTP clients and JSON parsers/formatters are even part of a lot of standard libraries, and straight-forward to implement should you need to. The benefits of GraphQL compromise this.

protobufs in general and grpc specifically are a much better solution for many scenarios, due to some trade-offs being different. A lot of the issues and concerns brought up by other commenters here is "leaky abstractions are gonna leak". I'm sorry, but there's no free lunch.

IMO it's a bit delusional to claim with certainty that "There will be a future where you can query any system in the world using GraphQL". I'm not even sure I want o live in that future if it means 1) I have to support it and 2) it comes at cost of other protocols.

> Maybe now that politicians see that people are very against drug laws we'll see some of them renege on their hard anti-drug stances.

I'd love to see this, but I doubt it. I've sat in on court sessions, and towns and cities pull in a lot of revenue through low-level drug offenses, and cops spend a significant amount of their time investigating and arresting kids for drug offenses.

The criminalization of drugs, especially low-level offenses, are revenue generators for municipalities, and jobs programs for law enforcement.

There is a lot of money, and plenty of high-paying jobs with full pensions, that are kept afloat by the criminalization of drugs.

Harmful relative to what? An ideal world where nobody drinks?

We've tried idealism via a prohibition and last I checked, that caused so much harm we went back to letting people have a drink.

A comparison of drugs vs no drugs ignores reality - we are not lab rats, we live within a society and a little vice lubricates the cogs of society. To deny that this is how it is, was and always will be is not helpful.

Your point regarding for-profit companies is valid - the likely solution to that is to control advertising so that it doesn't advertise drugs, as we have already successfully done with cigarettes.

The larger point is that there needs to be a balance of individual good vs collective. When society tips too heavily in the direction of collective, drugs/corruption/disobedience/crime will always be a 'problem' because there'll always be people who aren't interested in living to enable arbitrary collective goals somebody has decided everyone else ought to follow.

Long story short, it's a balancing act, maaan :)

Signatures are still required in Pennsylvania, and many states have allowed ballots to arrive after the election for decades, including 3 of the states still uncalled (NV, NC, and Georgia).

Moreover, military votes have been allowed to arrive after election day in nearly all states since at least WWII.

I can bring two old corded Xbox 360 controllers with my Surface Book 3 and play pretty much any console game on an emulator. My SB3 has an HDMI dongle that I got with my SB2, so I just struggle to see the point.

The question seems simple, but the answer is complex depending on who you ask. There are populations that benefited greatly from criminalization of various substances ( say, for profit prison stocks treated as reit stocks ).
There is literal evidence of this happening. The Republican playbook for the last decade has been disenfranchisement of people who don't vote for them. Killing or hobbling USPS was this year's novel strategy.

What I see is 4 million more votes for Biden than Trump. In any other electoral system this would have been a rout.
Systemd is basically another Kubernetes.

Not really. Once the models project that it's basically impossible, the DD's call it. They call states like California or Arkansas once they get the exit poll data, before any votes are in.

Fox News called Virginia for Biden when there were like 50% votes in and Trump led with 10%.

They were uber cautious this time and waited for a >0.5% lead.
Such is the way these days. Expect more now the Dems are back in power and surrounded by the woke brigade.

You're spinning what is essentially "screenshotting tweets" to sound a lot more nefarious than it is. It seems pretty clear to me that she's talking about accountability. It's not about hunting down poor innocent conservatives in their homes, it's making sure that people involved in the administration can't distance themselves from their actions.
The thing I find most depressing is that it seems to me games are getting blander and blander as the size of the corporations that create them grows. Code masters games always had a sort of flavour of their own. It's happened to other british development shops like psygnosis (created wipeout, a game with a lot of personality ). Sony bought them and eventually closed them.
