Major balls dropped, multiple times. Ouch, sorry Ryan.

I’ve been kicking around the idea of moving my stuff off DO. This might be the push that does it.
That's why you should IMHO always make sure you see your test fail at least once. TDD gives you that for free, but you don't have to use TDD: just manually breaking your implementation to see if the test breaks in the way it's supposed to should work equally well (bonus points if you make sure the error message is also precise enough to debug the issue).
But then you would have to use Mac, which breaks third party plugins every 1 year or so. Most the stuff I invested in when I got started hasn't worked since Lion. All other things that survived were dead with Catalina. Windows you can install stuff from 2003 and run no issue. Work on ARM lol. Most DAWS don't even support 4k monitors. Reason, MPC, Maschine. Not to mention the countless popular plugins that are the size of rain drop on the screen (Ominisphere)
And you can even do both. Decision tree to get to a smaller problem space, then NN on the output. You end up with a bunch of neural nets, each of which performs better than a single monolithic net due to solving a simpler problem.
1) The launch grid (I forget it’s proper name) is an increasingly common pattern in touch-based music apps; I want to touch the Ableton one. Especially in live performance.

2)The form factor of an iPad makes more sense in my music setup, in that I don’t need to haul podium or standing desk on stage as well as my instruments.

3. In producing tracks, most of my time is spent twiddling knobs, adjusting levels, etc, rather than dealing with external audio interfaces or doing fine grained, fiddly things with a mouse. But now iOS supports a mouse, so I could even do that...
Not the OP but you get tuned into this pretty quick going through the normal gamut of kid issues. The _worst_ cry I've heard our son do was when he had a double ear infection, it was immediately obvious from the shrill tone that he was in pain and needed to go the doctor. There is also a slightly less desperate one where he's stuck in something (usually leg/arm in the crib, not really stuck but can't yet reason out how to fix the problem).

"It was determined that the bottom 80% of men (in terms of attractiveness) are competing for the bottom 22% of women and the top 78% of women are competing for the top 20% of men." (but the whole post is illuminating [1]) Also, this 8 month old thread [2] is full of excellent context.

They're lithium-ion batteries with carbon fiber electrodes.

Doesn't matter what kind of battery it is though, once you start cutting through them you are very likely to short the electrodes together. Which usually ends in fires.
What is the proportion of JS libraries in the wild which provide TS type declaration files, either via DefinitelyTyped or provided by the lib itself? Is it normal to have to write your own declarations, or do most libs provide them these days?
Your sense is totally right and to boil it down further - you have to be OK with your system being eventually consistent.
The TypeScript ecosystem is amazing - partly because of the large number of users also also because of the sense of community. It is run as a true OSS project. Roadmaps are release plans are all public on GitHub. Even as outsiders we've been able to contribute significant features, e.g. Private Fields in TypeScript 3.8.

> So what is the reason that yCombinator maintains and curates HN?

1) Dealflow. People start with HN then learn about PG/YC. HN is also free and ad-less and so there is a lot of goodwill.

2) Promotion. It's a great value-add for YC companies to be able to use HN to find talent, promote their products etc.
I find the same. For my workflows the performance gets in the way. I saw another similar tool the other day by the same guys that did Linear (which I love) that looked awesome. If we weren’t deeply embedded with Notion now I’d give it a try.

Focus on hardware as a differentiator that is not easy replicate would also allow Apple to sell privacy and security.

The competitors such as Google are often focused on software and data, relying on data collection.
This is great feedback. Thank you!
The SIMD makes little difference to the bulk of the system, but you want dynamic dispatch where it does, at least on a typical HPC system, which isn't heterogeneous five years down the line, and in things like libc generally.
.NET Conf 2020 – Day 1 full recording
For the 'I take pictures on my phone, poof its on my computer' needs, I replaced Onedrive Camera Upload with a Syncthing folder and haven't had to look back.

Onedrive is of course a different product than Google Photos, and the last time I used Google Photos, Google Now was still a left-swipe sidebar, so YMMV.
Been there, dropped 200+€ on rpis only to find out I then had to spend almost the same amount on microstld cards, power supplies, cables and all the other stuff.

Sold all those, recovered most of the money and bought a dismissed laptop from my employer of the time: 3rd gen quad-core i7, 16gb ram (later upgraded to 32), 480gb ssd + 750gb hdd for waaaay less (just the residual price)

Installed proxmox, created small VMS and played with k8s and a lot more stuff in a cheaper and more performant way (full gigabit ethernet when RPI has usb-shared ethernet, ssd-grade I/O performance, core i7 compute performance).

If you want to experiment the raspberry pi is the dumbest thing that you can buy.

Go for old hardware and virtualization, you'll also learn more (containers are here to stay, but VMs aren't going away either).

Power usage was also surely higher than a single RPI, but negligible anyway: laptop Intel processors with speedstep technology that lower down power absorption, and can go down to like 15-20 watts/hour.
Portland State professor tries to ban autistic student from class
This and the eventual lockout of non-signed apps makes this a no go.

I'm not supporting a device that will give the EU the power to force removal of apps that don't have an encryption back door [1]. Same goes for apple's app store. At least I can still side load android apps for now.

Thanks to Apple and everyone copying these "for security" features we are rapidly loosing our democracy and freedoms. 1984 is already here and most want it.

Sadly no one seems to realize that in these last few acts of terrorism in France and Austria the purpatraitors where known. In fact some where already in prison before. Reading their IMs wouldn't have made any difference with the amount that was known and the incompetent government bureaucracy. Killing encryption won't fix that.

Huh, this actually may end up solving many of my issues, so thanks for finding that! Outside of their documentation being terrible, they do claim the correct algorithms, so it's something to at least investigate.

By the way, if anyone at Apple reads this, thanks for the library, but, you know, calling conventions, algorithm, and options would really help on pages like this:

To add to this, the precise value of a control isn’t relevant in most mixing and sound design operations, only it’s value-within-range. Most of the decision-making work is done by ear, not by number. The knobs (and sliders) give you a quick reference to “can I get a bit more out of this”.

Virtual knobs (and sliders) invite experimentation where a numeric control or text box doesn’t (so much). You can play with them. The dragging action gives you a little bit of tactile feedback.
I'm so glad you pointed this out. A horse in search of a mule and et cetera.
Great time for FLOSS federated project pixelfeld: https://the-federation.info/pixelfed
TBH the piece felt a bit like humble bragging about being in a relationship with a semi successful onlyfan model, and was pretty short on insight.

A number I'd like to see is the evolution of the number of young adults doing sex work. A lot of people having an onlyfan would have been stripping/escorting before, and onlyfans is much safer so a definite progress. But is there that many more that engage in it? Onlyfans doesn't seem to publish model numbers, but I doubt it's remotely enough for it to be considered normalized in any society...
You are comparing a desktop processor that's been tuned to overboost as much as thermals will allow it to a mobile phone CPU ?!?

If Ben is using Stratechery to market consulting services, he's the worst marketer in existence, as I can't find any evidence he does consulting.

He's not giving away the Crown Jewels, the vast majority of his writing is behind a pay wall, and, to my knowledge, he's full time and only funded via that pay wall to write Stratechery (https://stratechery.com/about/ indicates this as well).

The free articles are an example of his writing to generate traffic to maybe convince folks to sign up and pay him for the rest of the content (which is pretty good, consistently).

Unfortunately, I don't think that'll work. For it to work, you would need every actor to play along, otherwise someone could just move to Tor to do the exact same thing. I don't think it's possible to eliminate what they want to eliminate, and they will only push for more and more.
It was definitely team work. But the question comes down to being replaceable - could anyone replace Kelly Johnson and still create the SR-71? I don't know. I'm not even sure Ben Rich would have succeeded. But I'm confident not every single other person mentioned was irreplaceable. In fact I'd venture 99% of those people could be replaced.

Likewise, it takes thousands of engineers to operate Google right now. But do you really think most of those engineers are irreplaceable? Meanwhile good luck finding replacements for Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemewat.

This notion that everybody is equally talented/important is absurd. And the idea that you can always make up for a lack of talent with hard work is pretty obviously debunked if you take even a passing glance at competitive sports.

I'm not saying a single person can do everything without help. I'm saying a single person can have talent that you could never hope to have, no matter how hard you try, and that's just the way it is. And because of that talent, those people are more important when it comes to getting shit done.
I would start with the assumption that Google is collecting and storing every single possible data point about every single thing you share with them, including this. I have zero doubt that they store this info privately for their own use.

If you click through the blog post to the support page listing for Pixels they do suggest that Pixel 1s will continue to get unlimited uploads, and Pixel 3s will get them until the original expiration of Jan 31, 2022. The expiration for Pixel 2 will have already expired.

Very early on we switched from an audio monitor to a video monitor specifically so we could answer this question without panicked running across the house.

It’s really hard to generalize what an alarm cry could mean. In my experience they were never anything outwardly physical. Both of our kids had alarm cries that we associated with waking up from dreams, for example.
Notion now has a timeline, it's not a Gantt chart :)
What you said next is a Gantt chart.
Yes, if it's available for the OS you run, like EL or Debian. It's aarch64.
It's not just that though. It's also risk aversion. If you're optimizing for numbers of papers published, and you're optimizing for your confidence that your next paper is going to be accepted, it leads to redundant and uninteresting research.

The research world, just like every other social circle, is full of people who are just parroting each other, repeating to each other what everyone already believes, and patting themselves on the back. Maybe, once in a while, one person takes a risk, gets a cool result, and then 100 others rehash the same idea with small variations. At some point, the field collectively decides what the next cool research meme is going to be, and everybody follows along.

So yeah, structural battery packs stopped being cool at some point, I guess. Except that battery tech 10 years ago wasn't the same as what we have today, so maybe the results don't directly transfer. The topic hasn't been studied in a contemporary context, maybe the old results are out of date, maybe they would really be worth investigating again... But who cares, that topic has been done, it isn't cool anymore, it was 10 years ago. All the cool kids are doing solid state batteries nowadays.
I have all of this with amazon. Included with Amazon prime.

Perhaps I'm having getting whooshed here, but sunset has a racist connotation just as bad as "grandfathering" (or arguably worse). Plus it means something different. When I hear that I product it being sunset, to me that means 100% dead, even for preexisting users

That's pretty much it. The standard countermeasure for launch detection was simply to accelerate and outrun the missile. It had some early stealth attributes but could still be detected by the systems of the time.

> Messenger RNA is not stable in cells and is actively degraded. A typical mRNA has a half-life of a few hours in a cell.

Can anyone speak to the confidence we have in these claims? That is, are we virtually 100% sure that these mRNA have no mechanism to stick around for longer than intended?

GP's point is valid - that this is the first mRNA vaccine that would be widely used.

Let's say our assumption is wrong - these mRNA have a way to stick around forever. Is there an off switch?
And Nix
This was my first thought too. I have done this successfully to get Cat5e everywhere in a house that used to have coax everywhere. If you do it, I recommend attaching multiple pull strings to the coax, then pulling the coax out, then using one of the new pull strings for the Cat5e - otherwise you risk the Cat5e and the coax becoming detached from one another in the wall.

Sadly, OkCupid resembles the pay sites it describes in this blog post much more now than it resembles the 2010 version of it. The posts on reddit.com/r/okcupid paint a pretty bleak picture of it today.

Anyone have insight into how they built this? Custom Gantt solution or you think they bought one?

There are no good and free JS gantt libraries, but many, many paid ones. I've been trying to find a good one for Portabella (https://portabella.io) as they're an essential part of project management platforms, but no luck yet.
What synthesis errors have you run into?
Sloppy language and charts:
"% of ... per 1000"

This is misleadingly wrong. It's NUMBER OF out of 1000, so the % will be 1/10 of what is shown.

They do correctly say "For every 1,000 marriages in the last year, only 14.9 ended in divorce," in the text, but it's easy for someone to come away with the wrong impression of a very high overall divorce rate.
iOS does support audio/synth plugins in the form of AUv3, it's a little bit clunky but works.

I work primarily with Logic (been using it for 20 years) but the form factor of an iPad is pretty nice - it fits perfectly on music stands and laptops don't. If Macbook screens would tilt 180 degrees, all the way flat, you might be able to use them on music stands too - but they don't.

If you are both playing and recording a real instrument at the same time, having the iPad on the the piano/music stand in front of you is very useful. Many people use Logic Remote on iPad on the stand, and Logic on MBP for actual recording at the same time. But not sure why you should need two devices.

Touch screen is nice for some things too, like mixing or quickly toggling things.
Observability is not just about traces. This great article[1] by @copyconstruct describes it in detail, and lists monitoring, alerting/visualization, tracing, and log aggregation/analytics as key components of an observability stack.

Zero doubt? Wow, wish I had such confidence to make claims about things I know little about.

Each photo's geolocation data is stored. Of course.

It is shown in the UI, as well as indexed so you can search by location.

For example, I can search for "photos of dogs in Portland" and it'll show all the pics of dogs I've taken in Portland.
Maybe that's true for you. From my experience a lot of blue collar people I talk to absolutely despise democrats and liberal people I talk to can't even comprehend why the working class doesn't join them in their efforts or how anybody could vote for Trump. It's a total disconnect and I think it's because of growing inequality. People of different income and professional classes are mixing less and so they only know caricatures of each other.
I used to be a CADD jockey. Taught 100s of people. Did a lot of 3rd party tooling.

CADD is a 800lb angry gorilla sitting between you and your design.

Yes, it's a poor craftsperson who blames their tools. And, sometimes it's nice when the tool doesn't fight you every step of the journey.

I imagine the same is true for graphic design.
Has anybody a link to the actual research paper?
These things have been in development for over a decade. There's mountains of in vivo data on mRNA vaccines.
Wouldn't it be easy for Google to only strip the geolocation data if you are not the owner of the photo though?
It doesn’t really answer the question of whether Tinder works, it just pushes some numbers around and compares it to an economy, and says that if you think of Tinder as an economy, then the economy would be very unequal.

The problem is that the comparison totally falls apart. You are not competing to get the most likes on Tinder, you are just trying to meet someone to form a relationship or make out or whatever. If you’re really interested in comparing Tinder against other avenues for achieving this goal (or whatever goal you have), then you should be looking at something like WAR—wins against replacement. How likely are you to have a positive outcome using Tinder versus using some other site, or trying to meet people in person.

If you want to find a place where it’s easy to find someone cute who wants to make out, then the only real answer is to be a gay man (do whatever you need to make that possible), clean yourself up, and move to the city.

If you’re interested in a heterosexual relationship, you are simply going to have to deal with the fact that men and women in our culture have, on average, differing preferences when it comes to relationships. If you have typical preferences for a single man in our culture, then they don’t match typical preferences for a single woman in our culture, and if you find a relationship, it will involve some bridging of the gap between your different desires. Tinder doesn’t change that, and neither do any of the other sites.
Aha, context. Thank you!

Wonder how difficult it is to strike a balance between through vetting of fund dispersal on one hand, and silly levels of bureaucracy on the other.
I think putting something like SQLite on the actual storage device could be a super efficient way to directly express your intent to the actual durable storage system and bypass mountains of virtual bullshit.

The optimization opportunities are pretty obvious to me. Imagine if SQLite journaling was aware of how long the supercapacitor in the SSD would last, potentially even with real-time monitoring of device variables. You could have your entire WAL sitting in DRAM on the drive as long as it has enough stored energy to flush to NAND upon external power loss.
This looks great and has a very comprehensive set of libraries.
