Sure. Your remarks only prove my point. But I am a realist. And I wouldn't keep focusing on music. It's an easy target. Audio happens to be my thing but I'm concerned at the cavalier attitude and on a broader level.

Let's for one minute, expand the remit. It's not funkwhale, it's carwhale, foodwhale, healthwhale. Keep going. Keep thinking.

If all we're doing is not creating anew, but instead forging special keys that give you access to anything anyone that made the considerable effort to creative something new - then we treadwater, as a human race. And I see exactly this in so many aspects of human life already.

Not creating, not moving forward, not innovating, and only taking (in this case) other people's music AND then, here, loudly having the arrogance to declare that all music (or cars, or health, or food) should be free to buy once and you get the right to give it away.

Don't complain, like I have often read on these pages, how modern music (and cars, and food, and apps, and laptops) all look and sound the same when we have merrily sucked dry the very chances of anything new making its first steps.

I'm not sure where on earth you have got this notion from; the .NET Core team have been performance focused for a long time now, and blog posts from the .NET team detailing perf improvements have been posted on HN multiple times.

You even have hardware intrinsics available to play with, and for performance-sensitive libraries such as hashing algorithms, it's typical for performance to come within spitting difference of RAM speed.

Let's back up a second: Tim Cook said this transition would take place over two years. This is just the first batch of computers running Apple Silicon.

I certainly hope and think that Apple can come out with a beefy 16 inch MacBook Pro with 32 gigs of ram within the next two years. Also, in that time I imagine everything in Homebrew would be ported over natively.

And that's before we get in to asynchronous, async/sync hybrid, trusted peer to peer (used a lot for coop games to lower server costs), multiplayer idle games, hybrid deterministic with trusted peer to peer (eg you can move around freely but gameplay modifying actions are scheduled in advance).

ADHD person here, who lived in 6 countries, including the US (the other 5 are Russia, Italy, Denmark, Spain, and Switzerland). Getting ADHD stimulant medications is way easier in the US than elsewhere.

Here in Switzerland, for example, adult ADHD was even started to be recognized only since 2011. No immediate release formulations are legal here, only extended release. Even though Novartis, a Swiss company, is the producer of Ritalin. You can't get Ritalin in Switzerland, as it is an immediate release drug.

In Russia, _all_ stimulant drugs are banned (and ADHD usually is not even recognized as a valid diagnosis). As is you can get to prison there if you take your Ritalin with you.

The alternative makes less sense to me - who loses count of the amount of partners they had? It's one number to remember, I'd posit that the majority of people, whether deliberately or not, do keep track of that.

That people don't just give me tons of money.

On a more serious note, I would say people in power not following the rules. That includes managers at companies violating policies to the detriment of their employees. Another example is law enforcement and politicians breaking the law, violating procedures/regulations, or making mistakes that negatively impact citizens and not taking any responsibility or steps to make it right.

I list this as the biggest problem because it has so many problems throughout the system and very little recourse for when it happens (you're asking the very system that f'd you, to make it right).

Weird? Having the html downloaded for the link you're about to click, and used by the browser if the user clicks on the link, is by far the most balanced and simple implementation of prefetching. Everything is handled by the http2 push technology. No excessive javascript nonsense, no altering the Dom, and no downloading and prerendering of everything behind a link you might not even click. Absolutely flawless and perfect enhancement to a browsing experience so long as the spec allows for this.

Nice to see Angular authors here! As an another question, what are generally the legacy features holding you back you would want to change if you could do again everything with modern TypeScript, CSS and tooling?
Time. And hardware, yes.

I run OpenBSD on an ancient T42 Thinkpad. IBM. I was very happy with the quick, easy install and extremely low memory usage — 53mb's with Xorg on idle. Sadly can't be main station because too weak for modern computer tasks. For text-based it's perfect.

Will try FuguIta, Live OpenBSD on USB to see his it runs on modern hardware, but now about to install GhostBSD on it. I botched a NomadBSD install after upgrading it to FreeBSD —CURRENT to try to solve issues like touchpad dead, audio out. I'm a noob and it's a (too) modern machine.

So I have mentally made the switch to *BSD — and as soon as I get one of my desktops up and running I will run OmniOSce, OpenIndiana and/or some other illumos based distro. It's worth it just to see the bootloader print: Starting UNIX…
If you say something negative about Google you’ll reliably get downvotes from Android fanboys even if it’s completely accurate. (Apple has similar fans, although they seem to be less defensive now that the company is doing so well)

It’s not worth worrying over except as a reminder that rating systems need to handle bad-faith voting.
No, in reality 3.1 was actually very fast.
This is why I ultimately switched over to FL Studio. I don't make money off of music, and with work and family rarely have the time to spend on it. Live's high upgrade costs seemed wasted on me. With FL Studio, it's a single lifetime licence. Mind you the UX is not nearly as nice as Live and it's much more geared to in-studio producing than live use, so obviously won't work for everyone.
Yeah, but those happen in any code base. You can always find improvements, sometimes changes that seem trivial in hindsight. That doesn't make the original code base crap :-)

Issue there is that the House and Senate would just represent the people, and no-one would represent the states. That seems contrary to point of a government whose title is the United States.

To hell with the Mars and Venus hype - let's create an actual settlement on the Moon! Step one in doing that is creating an actual space station - not just an orbiting can that a few people can survive in. An actual station with regularly-scheduled flights people can utilize to go to and from the Earth - flights on a craft resembling an airplane and taking off and landing at a place more akin to an airport. Likewise, we need regularly-scheduled flights between the space station and the Moon port. This way we have a steady supply of people and material going to and from the Moon. Once we've gotten to the point where we can demonstrate the viability of a small village on the Moon complete with everything such a village requires, then we can talk about going to Mars.

Until then I'm calling these Mars settlement fantasies head-up-your-arse rubbish! Besides which, who knows? Perhaps after extensive experience living in space and living on the Moon we may decide there are advantages to not wasting your time clinging to rocky planets. Or vice-versa. Or we may discover pros/cons to each and which kinds of people or more adaptable to which. As it is we can't say anything because we have no real experience living anywhere else but on Earth.
This is incorrect. The US even in the current time has one of the most open immigration systems in the world. Which is awful, but it is nonetheless true. Try to become a citizen in Europe without having a familial claim or a ton of money. You can absolutely get a work visa (if you can arrange a job) but the chances of you becoming a full citizen is about 0.

You insist on reading my argument of "it's not the same as theft" to "therefore it's fine". I didn't say whether it's better or worse than theft. I just said it's not the same, in the same way that murder or jaywalking is not the same as theft.

This is a minor corner of .NET 5 but I'm bummed that .NET's Blazor (WebAssembly) has no way to interact with the HTML Canvas from C#, so you have to write JS interop code, so its quite slow (that is, C# WebAssembly with Canvas is slower than just writing JS).

My hope was that by the time .NET 5 was out of preview, we would have seen something for this so people could write C# for Canvas in WebAssembly. Alas, not yet!
No one's stopping any other company from doing it. But as usual, Apple has been the only company (for better or worse) that has been innovating on the desktop for the past decade. Every other manufacturer is content with producing the same milquetoast laptops.
They updated the lesser 13" Pro, but not the high-end 13" Pro (since 2016, it's been separated into two lines, with the high end one distinguished by higher TDP, four thunderbolt ports, and more fans) or the 16". IPC will be the same, sure, but I'd expect the higher end 13" and the 16" will have more cores or higher clock speed or both, to soak up the extra TDP headroom.

The mentioned Bear and Typora solve this by showing you the "raw" Markdown at least when your cursor is there. So anytime you edit, you're editing in text, as you mention. But you don't need a second "display" panel to do that.

Both tools do it differently. Typora shows it when your cursor is there, but otherwise hides the Markdown. Bear always shows the Markdown but applies the corresponding style to it.
I’m a Dev doing mostly C# and JS. I’ve heard some of the complaints on HN mentioning DI and really don’t get it. I honestly feel like it makes my code cleaner and more testable. For example, I don’t have to care where my IFooService comes from or how best to instantiate and dispose, I just request one in the constructor. For a framework to be flexible, you need _some_ plugin capability. Asp.net seems to do pretty good at giving you nice defaults but letting you swap out with DI. All my dependencies are laid out nicely in one place (Startup.cs) and then used throughout. DI gives you that and I’m glad that it’s baked in now as opposed to having to pick a 3rd party. Maybe I’m biased, though. Help me understand why NOT to use DI? Is it just moving people’s cheese or are there other reasons?

The CLI tool looks very great indeed and handy when you keep all the projects in the same top-level directory, or need to be able to change identity while in the same repository.

However, your .gitconfig setup is (for me) way nicer as I already have things split up by GitHub organization, and now my identity can change without having to do anything at all.

So thanks for sharing that, had no idea it was possible.

I consider not losing the freedom to run anything I want on the hardware an immediate benefit. I don't need to have a particular use case. I view as detrimental the very action of giving money to someone who wants to decide how I use the hardware I bought.

> Any mac user could have seen this transition coming many years ago, and given up their platform of choice then on that prospect, but what good would that have done them? They wouldn't have got to enjoy anything.

This could easily devolve into a "to Mac or not" type of discussion which I don't want delve into, but I've personally never used a Mac (I have tried it) and I don't feel like I'm missing out because of it. Certainly the freedom to run any software and not be beholden to a large corporate interest is more important to me.

> Yes conceivably Apple is setting some precedent that other manufacturers could follow, but in the previous example Apple is also just pushing you to buy their products instead.

Yes, precedent, but also increased market share if they were to become more popular. One day, an alternative might not exist if we do not vote financially early enough. Therefore, my immediate urge is to say: no, I do not want to participate in this scheme. Make your hardware open or I will not buy it.
Hi HN,

I'm so excited to share Cold Email for Interesting People with you all!

Lots of Hacker News readers are successful cold email senders themselves. That's why I divided the product into levels. If you're already successfully using cold email in your work, you'll want to skip directly to level 3, the six annotated examples.

Cold Email for Interesting People is a pay-what-you-want product and you have the option to download the full product for free.

I'll be around to answer questions, and I'd love to hear stories about successful cold emails you've sent.
Good points but I suspect Apple is more interested in the $1000 business PC market - so say a videoconferencing app that was much, much better as result of using Apple's API's might be a handy way of selling more Macs to business.

Of course set against that they've lost the ability to run x86 Windows in a VM for legacy business apps (but not sure many were doing that anyway!).
This is accurate. I rode a bike for 8 years but after a while the risk got to me, and I stopped. A close friend's brother was killed as he "T-boned" a woman pulling out of a supermarket plaza without looking for oncoming traffic (her fault, he had 2 kids, he died on impact). A second friend was recently severely injured, as a van hit him while violating the rules at an intersection. He had to have his leg amputated. I love bikes a lot (it's a family tradition), but at the end of the day, it's not worth it for me. Of course, this is a personal decisions, and everyone should do as they wish. Just be careful and do your best to keep the rubber side down.

It’s probably close to 50%. 80% of your mass is water and carbon. Hydrogen makes up 10% taken by itself but generally didn’t have a neutron which balances out the comparatives rare bigger elements with more neutrons.
I worked with an intern back in 2015 that had built a Farnsworth fuser in his basement during high school. That of course is cool by itself, but then a while later it occurred to me that he probably made one of the most durable products ever assembled by humans. Those little helium atoms are going to be floating about the earth probably until it’s gobbled up by the sun, and then what?
I found this, where a parent edits out the word in an audioplay version: https://koneensaatio.fi/en/when-pippi-said-the-n-word/

> I mentioned the situation later to a colleague, who said that the same problem had come up in the family, but they had tackled it with a practical solution. Working with sound, this colleague processed the audiobook with editing software to find out whether the N-words could be cut out smoothly. That being done successfully, the children could then listen to the edited version. The problem was solved.

I like this part:

> “For my daughter, Pippi is a really empowering character, so I can’t just not read the book, because censorship would only make her more interested. So I edit the text while reading it,” he says.

I seem to recall that retiring to Mexico has been extremely popular the last decade or so. I have to agree with your point - each country is a quite different experience. If retirees can make it work then surely someone with a career can.
I haven't used C# 9 yet, but I write a lot of console apps and services/daemons using .NET Core (the world is bigger than web apps :), but I don't see why you can't use top-level programs for ASP.NET Core apps, as they have an entrypoint too.

You would of course still have all the usual ASP.NET configuration and DI setup to do though, so the impact would be rather limited.
Looks neat, but I agree with others about using conditional includes instead. Perhaps this tool could build on that?
Ive been using VSCode with the C# extension whenever I can, and it has been worlds better than Visual Studio. The only thing it has issues with is multi-solution projects.

I should say, as someone who wrote Java/Kotlin for years on IntelliJ, Rider is a welcome addition to the C# world for tooling. JetBrains really does try to produce the best editors they can.
from the perspective of a rust, c, c++ developer it was a bit slow as all GC based languages are. Before this .net core was already arguably the gc language with the highest performance ceiling.

this can of course depend on workload and whether you care about startup time or throughput vs tail latency etc, but on the whole it tended to allow you beat out java, go and other competitors most of the time.

with AOT being a standard option now, getting quick startup time is easier too, along with the other improvements
Gogo, Visual Basic, I believe in you!

It is amazing that it is so popular. Meanwhile I have never met a dev that uses it an its community seems very insular. Wouldn't even know where to look.

I cannot really imagine it to be more widespread than JS and other sources often don't even list it.

Also surprised about Rust being that low. I would have thought it to be more popular. I would take a more serious look but have some time constrains currently.

And why is Perl growing more than Go? It was my first programming language. Many look fondly to the first one, but ?&([^&])&./$'.++$=.("/``"|"/$[`"|"/#'").
