Why teach a 9yr old coding. 9yr old should learn skate, karate, swimming or music. Seriously coding. Byju is over valued.
It very much depends on the particular drive, with both controller and NAND choice affecting power draw and efficiency.

On a performance per Watt basis, most M.2 NVMe SSDs are much more efficient than M.2 SATA SSDs. The most efficient M.2 NVMe SSDs are also at least competitive with M.2 SATA SSDs in terms of absolute power consumption, despite outperforming the SATA SSDs by at least a factor of 2-3x. Power consumption from a M.2 NVMe SSD will also drop slightly when only one or two of its four PCIe lanes are used, which is the case when the drive is behind a USB to NVMe bridge.

For example, comparing a SK hynix NVMe drive against of dozens of other M.2 NVMe and 2.5" SATA drives: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/16012/rr-all.png Unfortunately, I don't think there are any M.2 SATA results in there, and those are often a little bit more efficient than their 2.5" counterparts (running off 3.3V rather than 5V, but stepping it down to at least one or two lower voltages on the drive in either case).
Yes, thank you; you are right. The integral which is involved at the kernel of it is like a dot product, not the entire convolution itself.

Why didn’t this guy’s comment get flagged? While my counter-reply did get flagged.

He’s accusing anyone that doesn’t see things the same way he does, as being brainwashed.
He shouldn’t have to apply for a permit in the first place. 2nd amendment should cover his needs. Having a permit process just opens up the system for corruption.
And, conversely, a larger study showcases that consumption of milk increases risk of hip fracture and mortality [0]. Also, take a look into the "Blue Zones" - areas globally which "...are areas across the globe where people tend to live the longest and have remarkably low rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity." [1] All of those areas have a very similar diet: mostly plant based. These people aren't breaking hips. A great book that's centered on fact based research of over 600+ medical studies by a renowned gastroenterologist is "Fiber Fueled" [2].

> Everything is made more arbitrarily complicated when it's represented by its departure from the Ionian mode. It would be much more efficient to use the chromatic scale as a base instead.

Your approach is simply not feasible. Let me demonstrate.

Here are some options:

The newly chromatic keyboard is all white/black/white/black alternated keys, WBWBWBWBWBWB for one octave.

How do you look at that and figure out where C is?

Likewise, a new keyboard can be all white keys. WWWWWWWWWWWW

How do you know where anything is?

We need some patterns in order for our brains to be oriented to the instrument. The pattern of WBWBWWBWBWBW (standard 12-note sequence on keyboards), is a well-understood one that makes it practical for keyboardists to make music.

If there exists a 3rd option which makes orientability and fast muscle memory easier than it is, it needs to be innovated.

You seem to think that making the keyboard more symmetrical, or more uniform, or different somehow, makes it easier to learn. It doesn't work that way. However if you in fact have an improvement not obvious to those in the industry, many players would be thankful for your work. The field of music and music instrument technology is alive and well and waiting for your invention.

Now to address your mode concept..... Your presumption that everything is just Ionian mode transposed is absolutely incorrect. Each different mode (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian (those are all modes of just the major scale)) has its own identity. I'm surprised that you as a musician are unaware/blind to this, or consider it "needless complexity imposed by the vain professional musician community". Also, altered dominants and the various minor modes, in addition to the major scale modes I mentioned. Yes that adds up to probably 300 or 400 scales. Which takes a lot of work, regardless of whether you have a standard keyboard or a WWWWWWWWWWWW keyboard.

Sure but that's hardly Apple promising you to do or not do something and then doing the opposite. Jobs's schtick in these presentations always included talking smack about other products, nobody set their watches by that stuff. What makes it even thinner gruel is that in his lifetime, he was pretty much right - the Android versions of these products were poopy and Apple eventually made better ones. Do you think Job's shittalking in keynotes is actually solid supporting evidence that... Apple is going to turn Macs into iOS devices 9+ years after he died?
I'm not sure I follow how sshfs is unencrypted, it's literally just "I have a server with ssh/sftp enabled and I'm going to mount it's storage that way". Most certainly encrypted.

If you mean the individual video files post upload then it's probably easier to just encrypt the drive on your storage server rather than every individual file you upload to it.
The articles frame it as the Head of Apple security acting on the behalf of 4 potential Apple security team licensees - so at least 3 of those Apple employees aren't him. He's acting on behalf of his employees, I'd say that is Apple stepping in.
As far as I recollect discussing this before one will actually save younger children in most of Nordic countries e.g. than in the US, and infant mortality rate is still much lower.

There are several reasons the US rate is so much higher than in other developed countries. The US does not have universal health care, which means large sections of the US population does not get adequate follow up during pregnancy.

If you look at health care for the poor in the US, it is generally geared towards emergency care. They will stitch you up if you are about to die. However it generally does not cover regular doctor visits and checkups. Hence in the US a lot of expensive effort goes into saving babies when born, when the problem could far more easily have been resolved early in the pregnancy with better checkups.

The US system is simply not very geared towards simple preventative care. Where other health care systems tend to focus on simple cheap system. American health care is overly focused on advance equipment, complicated procedures and basically anything which gives a lot of prestige or profits.

Problem is that such a health care system does not perform very well in the real world. You end up with very high costs and poor results.

E.g. a lot of health problems in the US is actually caused by over-treatment. That is the irony of the US system. Poor people who need help don't get it. People with expensive health care plans OTOH are subject to invasive procedures they don't need because it brings in profit. E.g. the US has overuse of surgery. So basically people who don't need surgery are cut open in the US. And that does take a toll on your health.

The opioid crisis killing Americans is a variation of this. Basically it is overmedication for the sake of profits. The health care system is actually a contributor to the bad health problems in the US.

It really should lead people to question for-profit health care, but it seems impossible to question anything about capitalism in the US. You speak to deaf ears.
>the 'typical' murder involves people that know each other and has a motive. Loose firearm regulations enable mass shootings [1][2] which are more indiscriminate.

Mass shootings are a rounding errors and should not be used to motivate public policy. Catering to asinine edge cases like that is why we all have to take off our shoes when we fly.

If you want people to murder each other less then you need to reduce the size of the illegal economy (mostly drug trafficking) so that those industries can settle their disputes with contracts and court orders instead of violence. Basically everything else pales in comparison to that type of violence.
When you say "Not anymore", that must have changed dramatically in the past 2 1/2 years. The NRA's silence in the Philando Castile case in 2017 was deafening.
It would be nice to be able to do some A/B testing with Facebook, but I don't think it would work on a nation to nation basis. There's too many other factors involved. It would be more interesting to try on a very local basis, e.g. if every other house in a small city had Facebook.

Yeah I remember distinctively that 10% used to be the go to. Then one day I mentioned that to someone and they balked and just said "Only?" I said that's fair isn't it? They said I should be doing at least 20% minimum. Ever since then I've just stopped going to places that require tipping. I just hate it. I hate knowing when to tip, who to tip, what if someone else sees me tip something that might be too low, someone balks at how much I tip. I just hate it all around. This is why I never if at all go to places that tip. I like to stick to places where I know what I'm gonna spend the moment I place my order. I don't even care if I gotta drive myself to get my order. I just hate dealing with tipping culture in general. It places a cultural onus on me that places me in a situation that I want to avoid entirely.

> Of course I'm aware of the cons of programming in PHP versus other languages

PHP has come a long way. With v7 (and soon v8) and with Laravel programming in PHP is not only a delight, but also extremely robust and fast.

For the front-end, jQuery to Vuejs is not a big leap. You can sprinkle it around to test waters and gain confidence. Such a pleasure to work with.

Was there any indication that one of these security personnel failed a background check? Used a straw purchaser or gun show loophole? Had friends and family worried about what he planned to do? Had an active domestic violence case?
Yeah same here. I did years of generating JS heavy frontends with PHP for Ajax apps. Once I learned to keep all data on the server and functionality on the client I’ve become so much more productive when slapping together an MVP with react (and any backend capable of spinning up a rest, though I prefer python or go at this time.)
A cute trick I saw when working in a gun store was getting deputized in some two-horse town so you could buy post-sample machineguns[0].

I looked up one customer's "agency" and the town didn't exist. It was like 4 abandoned houses and it looked (from Google Maps) like no one had been through there in years.

[0] A machinegun manufactured after the passage of the 1986 Hughes Amendment is non-transferrable and can only be possessed by law enforcement agencies or dealers (SOT) with a "demo letter". Dudes effectively were LEOs in a non-existent town and bought machineguns that otherwise couldn't be owned by individuals.

> If he could do that with a female roommate why shouldn't he be allowed do that with his male roommate?

Didn't I already give the reason? Because it could be used as a loophole in the tax law, that men and women in temporary relationships didn't exploit, even if divorce is instant and the high earner can keep all the wealth that had been taxed at a lower rate. (Because women generally don't let themselves get used like that.) On the other hand, in a community property state, with no pre-nup, that loophole is closed.

It's also generally reasonable, as a structural concept, to object to the idea that laws should treat men and women equally, or men/women and men/men pairings, as some kind of universal principle. California's legislature adopts this stance: it outlaws same-sex boards (at least all-male ones) in publicly traded companies.

Similarly, it's reasonable to examine the question of same-sex relationship laws with more nuance than saying everything should be the same as marriage because equality. Maybe the divorce and taxation laws should be different, because the straight ones ought to be written with children and rapidly declining female fertility in mind. Maybe the "next of kin" definition or inheritance laws should be adjusted, when it comes to extended family. Maybe gay marriage should have a fine-grained series of check boxes to opt in to each of the privileges and duties and consequences, because that's just good customer service for gay citizens, but straight marriage should be all or nothing, for good reasons.
What did you think of Japan?
Agree, and targeting a very small subset of companies would be a pretty hard bar to pass when they should be crafting laws that treat all commercial traffic fairly. I remember it all well, I follow bicycle and transportation stuff.
>> I'm not sure when the mentality of "the little guys can use my code but companies better pay me" crept into common discussion around open source, but it's never worked that way.

Yeah that's weird. I think it's partly people realizing the difference between MIT/BSD and GPL (or even AGPL) licenses. Or the diff between some ideal "how open source works" and what the licenses actually say.

This is a good thing. People may realise that the choice of license actually matters.
I hope the person I responded to was not offended by some random stranger revealing that they didn't trust the javascript on their website, and would prefer a safer alternative.

I also have to disagree with the advice to keep my reasons for wanting a video secret. I feel it's important for content creators, executives and the many javascript developers on HN to be fully aware that javascript is a dangerous technology, which is not trusted by people like myself who care about their privacy and security.

I try to point this out every opportunity I get, and will continue to do so, so people can't claim they had no idea that javascript was so horrible because no one ever told them.

Javascript is horrible, and requiring your viewers to expose themselves to security vulnerabilities in order to view your content is not ok.

But even that isn't even true. The US system doesn't even benefit the wealthy. For profit health care means a lot of over-treatment which causes several problems in US health care which kills people:

- Something like 2x as much surgery done in the US than in other countries, because it is profitable, not because it is needed. So perfectly health people are cut open, because they got a good insurance which can pay for it.

- Opioid crisis. Again having health insurance is a problem, not a benefit in this case. That turns you into a money bag, they can push opioids on.

- Antibiotic resistance. America is all about getting more of everything. Quantity over quality, which unfortunately also means excessive use of antibiotics making Antibiotic resistance a major problem.

The US system really isn't working for anyone. It means those who cannot pay get too little treatment, and those who can pay get too much. If only there was a way to even it out...
This is something I've seen called out before when these comparisons are trotted out but I don't see it mentioned in this article.

Here is a blurb I found quickly (from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4856058/)

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I see nothing here but a naïve attitude about the nature of music and musicians. I invite one citation as to the veracity of this claim.

Eh, I think that’s kind of old-school thinking.

> Companies are unlikely to stay profitable if they’re overly generous. They need to profit handsomely to survive.

Yep. That’s fine. (Also ignores low-margin industries that rely on volume, but whatever).

If you want a modern society, people have to be able to take risks with their money in order to make more money. Otherwise we can go back to subsistence farming. Do you work? You’re charging a profit. How evil of you! Being a few steps removed from the transaction doesn’t make you any less guilty of profiteering. You’re just as bad as these tyrannical CEOs, the difference is you’re a sucker for building their product while they make money hand over fist.

If you want to use this fast decoder it some times better to have it take a different type than a plain array as input. Even if the only difference is arrays of this type have a 15 byte dead space at the end.

Such behavior is not crazy but this decoder does not take a normal array as a type at that point. So describing it as such can result in other programmers providing an array that does not follow the expectations of this decoding function.

-edit
I will say if you have length information you should be able to use the fast method on all but the last chunk without checking on every data chunk.
