Headshop owners who sell nitrous to obviously addicted people are generally not good citizens. I'd guess they make most of their profit from addicts like me. I only got cut off once after a 2wk/$10k run when I was almost too sick and incoherent to make a purchase. Every other store gladly kept selling to me when I was in that condition.
No a city inspector goes by before a CO is issued.
I think the previous comment was taking issue with your use of the word "violently."
Among other things, it's a long and careful consideration of the different meanings of "brevity" in a programming language, and every paragraph is heavily cited. It clearly didn't speak to you, and that's fine, but you're wrong about it being vapid.

(Fixed the name thing, sorry about that).
I think you mean "haggle" rather than "barter". Unless you were offering him supplies from your office instead of cash.
The education system does reduce learning to memorizing some facts, dates and formulas.
From reading a few vaccine threads here, people are very invested in the idea of vaccines being tested for long periods of time on many people before they feel its safe. That said, this seems more useful for vaccines for rarer diseases where even having very large populations of people on the vaccine and placebo is unlikely to result in many placebo people being infected, even over many years.
In my experience people don't have the ability to determine if someone is smarter than themselves. They can detect that someone is a different intelligence level. Most people will react the same to someone with much greater intelligence as someone with much less intelligence.

Secondly, intelligent people modulate their communication to be what the people they are talking to expect. They won't use big words at the bar, but will totally change in an academic or professional setting.

One way that "smarter" than oneself is revealed is when a person predicts or anticipates something. That could be experience, or just indicates that they had already processed the situation to the same level.
I've had great conversations with strangers about whether aliens exist, or whether they can be made of sand, or rock, or gas. The intelligent people know how to link that to other things - temperatures, evolution, whether planets or cities can be sentient, the definition of consciousness. You can talk about things like souls or ghosts too.

You can also open up fixed topics that everyone has an opinion about. Politics, religion/life, economics, and investing are nice. Everyone intelligent has some kind of investment strategy. A lot of people at least try to figure out religion at some point. A lot of intelligence is understanding that you could be wrong, and dealing with that. If someone straight up says, "Communism bad, end of story," without trying to understand why communism is bad, they're likely not very smart.
Well, it's becoming economically infeasible to extract oil not because the cost of extraction has increased, but because the cost of alternatives has decreased enough to reduce the price of oil. So it's still the case that oil production is peaking due to being too expensive.
Have you performed any load testing or measured performance and scalability?
Successful season I assume? Seems like it's over early!
You probably mean "piqued" instead of "peaked", and also probably don't mean you were "piqued", but rather that your curiosity was.
Pray tell, in your view, what is the antecedent of the pronoun "it" in geomark's comment, if not the paper in question?
Is the web page economy larger than app? These JAM stuff are out of control.

My theory is that more people coming to tech industry, and the base of pyramid is web pages up to web apps. Because all people want to have their personal site and blog. Tiny amount of people want to build application; it's surely harder. Numbers of app makers are just a few.

Tech community on social media is flood with tech that's for building these pages. And when people are hooked, they want to use this hammer for everything.
Dunno what you were expecting. Granted, it's not Mozart, but then, if music were easy, someone would have solved it and put the whole industry out of business. But the examples you posted - which, granted, were apparently the cream of the crop - sound decent enough. I think this voxel fellow is going to hard on you. If you filtered it to only capture the decent stuff, it would be fine to have in the background while the player was focused on the game. Though I suppose whatever you get someone to compose for you will sound that much better.

On that basis, I would definitely grant the implied generalization of the title: if the audio samples in this post aren't good enough for you, then procedurally generated music won't cut it. On the other hand, if you want procedurally generated music, and you could see yourself living with the music from this post, it would definitely be workable.
This is really great. I've seen so many of these "self-hosted live video streaming" sites show up here and this is the first one that show the actual backend code. Usually they're just web frontends to some video streaming website.
Questions:

-[0] How widely deployed is this stack (specifically nginx rtmp/vod) around the live-streaming industry?

-[1] You listed under the Feature that it support "Pay-per-view" and "Pay-per-minute" -- how exactly is that enforced if the playback is just regular HLS? (Are you checking every single request for a .TS segment in Django?)

-[2] VOD/Recording is really cool but has enormous storage costs. How does BoltStream handle the long-term storage of streams?

Edit: re [1]

It looks like there's a somewhat sophisticated mechanism [here](https://github.com/benwilber/boltstream/blob/master/ansible/...) that's just checking the requests for the encryption key instead of every single request for the MPEG-TS segment.

This is awesome though. Thanks for sharing it!
Show HN: Rollpkg, easily build npm packages with Rollup and TypeScript
With linked lists, memory latency dominates, since you're chasing pointers all over the heap. I guess the null check costs nothing most of the time. On the other hand, removing random objects from lists that you don't know are actually in those lists is a smell.
A classic example is sleeping.

I've met many people who were trained to feel guilty for sleeping, because it is "unproductive".

In reality, while you sleep, your cells get busy revitalizing your body, preparing for productivity.
No, this copies the value from next into the memory occupied by head.

For example if the linked list was:

&next: (100, 0xFFFF)

0xFFFF: (101, 0xDEFF)

0XDEFF: (102, 0)

Then calling remove on head would leave us with:

&next: (101, 0xDEFF)

0xFFFF: (101, 0xDEFF)

0XDEFF: (102, 0)

(It would be on the caller to free the memory address 0XFFFF)
Then maybe you can do something to help course correct the conversation here other than being dismissive of me, like leave a top level comment that will help people here focus on the parts of it you personally find meaty instead of on the excessively obvious framing of "Waah, I am basically jealous of this man."
I also just bought the new Macbook Air. It's my first ever Apple product.
The issue with modeling SV as oriented towards creating "solutions" is that the incentives of VCs are at odds with that of actually solving problems: they're looking for short-term profits, social sustainability be damned.

So Uber, which is a proposed solution to crumbling American public transit infra, splurges a lot of money to accelerate the crumbling of said infra, and in the process manages to make life worse for drivers (terrible pay), for the planet (via increased emissions), and eventually for riders (when prices will be too high and public alternatives gone).

But this doesn't matter to VCs, who want short(ish) term profits.

This issue generalizes into a critique of solutionism as a whole: technological "solutions" are not grounded in humanity: they don't actually take into account those affected, i.e. the everyday people who will directly interact with your "solution", and the millions more who will be indirectly impacted. You can try to suggest that your solution is politics-free, but in the act of interacting with, and affecting, society, it becomes political.

I suggest "The Politics of Artifacts" for more on this.
The World Needs a Non Profit Search Engine
I don't see what you're saying.. the OP added that bit (the IntList struct) himself but it doesn't really change the scenario or take away from what he is trying to explain.

But it should be retracted? Really?
I've had similar constraints based off my experience. Tech stacks being driven more by developers experience than whats necessarily the best possible fit.

I can second the AWS mysticism as well.
While I don't know enough about banking back then, I presume there was a system in place to withdraw money away from your home bank, albeit it was likely slow. I'm guessing his issue wasn't necessarily that he didn't have money on him.
and they are a LOT more expensive than their crypto counterparts
Someday soon I will be releasing a podcast and we did a review of your Show HN. Check it out if you want.

Nobody [here] will give you their email without an example demonstrating it's worth the sacrifice.

Didn't understand for sure how to add topics... comma delimited?

Releasing a Show HN with no effort on HN beyond a link also doesn't go far.
See my post above.
"You can't expect every person to be skilled enough (and witht the time and desire) to be their own network administrator, so someone will have to run the network for those people..."

Why would this new internetwork have to be made available to "those people". This comment seems to reframe the article's implicit "call to action" to a new set of constraints. It presupposes that an internetwork can only be created when it exists for commercial exploitation of its users, despite the author's example of a popular peer-to-peer network that generally has never been used as such, not to mention the "Internet" we are now using was not created for that purpose. (commercial exploitation)

It is curious this fascination with the definition of an internetwork as one that must mirror the present one and include amongst its users unskilled persons with no time or desire to learn how to use it but with money and a willingness (maybe even a forced necessity) to pay others to help them.

I wonder if there has ever existed a internetwork used only by skilled persons with time and desire to learn to use it, and not seeking to be compensated for the time they spent learning and the skills they developed as a result. If not, perhaps there will be.
Based on the replies so far, I think most of you would find Schmidhuber's Compression Progress Drive interesting. The idea is essentially that of an adversarial agent with two components. A attempts of to compress its entire life history, breaking it all into neat chunks. B gets off on A's progress in so doing, and finds/creates patterns that are just within A's reach. So B's intrinsic motivation comes from discovering novel patterns that are broken down by A.

You can get really far with this idea, and music is the perfect example. We enjoy patterns. Complicated patterns become more interesting with listening experience. Simple patterns are quickly exhausted. So long as there is structure, there is opportunity for enjoyment.

Of course, Schmidhuber's theory is a bit more complicated than that. And his own opinion of it is a bit ... grandiose. Title of one of his papers on the topic: "Driven by Compression Progress: A Simple Principle Explains Essential Aspects of Subjective Beauty, Novelty, Surprise, Interestingness, Attention, Curiosity, Creativity, Art, Science, Music, Jokes"

Nonetheless, I think it's a neat theory.
>>Tony Hsieh had a surprisingly large collection of half-empty liquor bottles at his desk.

Not just Tony.

My best friend used to work at Zappos. He used to brag to me that every employee/team gets their own mini-fridge, which is stocked with booze and liquor. He said that a common "bonding" experience for different teams in the company is to exchange different types of liquor. This was in early 2010s.

He said drinking on the job is common, but going overboard is discouraged (for obvious reasons). But even he admitted that Zappos clearly understood that in order to attract customer service people to the company (headquartered in Las Vegas), being able to drink on the job, i.e. during the day, would be a great recruitment tool.

I thought it was very cynical, although it obviously worked out well for them. Too bad about Tony though, I hear he was a great guy.
Voice Commenting Feature
What is the easiest tool/plugin/API to add a 1-click voice comment feedback feature to an online SaaS website?

It seems like Office 365 has a convoluted way to do this via the Voice dropdown option and then selecting "Transcribe". Even then, it requires more steps to record and then attach the audio comment to the specific section under consideration.

Thank you,
Arvind.
That’s an interesting take...
What were the overhead costs associated with educating each student and why two adults?

For a class of 15, 1 teacher is sufficient, and even if you reduce class sizes to 10, that's one teacher per 10 rather than 1 per 7.5. The school district I grew up in spent about $13K per pupil in the school year following my graduation (easiest year to find quick and dirty data for), and still had all of the problems I outlined. I assure you, it wasn't going to high teacher salaries when I was in school.

So how about we do trim off some of that fat, give the teachers a raise, and then evaluate whether we need the additional spend?
When will the WASM runtime will be available.
My issue is more the amount of "knobs" you're presented with that seem to have overlapping responsibility. It's very difficult to figure out which ones are "right" (idiomatic?) so it makes for a very confusing implementation. Compared with iOS which gives you many of the same controls but at least presents them in a clear, unified way.
The most elegant way, imho, to join collection elements into a comma separated string: http://avodonosov.blogspot.com/2012/01/maybecomma.html
I suppose the key word is "fairly". The higher that number goes, the more incentive there is for impostors, and that brings the number back down—so fairly accurate is about as accurate as they can get.
"Uncanny" is quite subjective when it comes to music. I know of at least 'DeepBach', Feynman Liang et al.'s (2016) 'BachBot' and Daniel Johnson's (2015) 'biaxial-rnn' as algorithmic music systems that could all be described as 'quirky' in many ways, but definitely not 'off'. And they're not limited to 'simplistic' music styles - all of them deal with Western music of the common practice period, which is quite non-trivial. Their main limitation is modeling structure beyond the 'short musical phrase' level, but that's to be expected.
Well, Punk-o-matic's Random Song sounded pretty good.
Similarly, you may repeat this mantra as many times you like, and yet, "theft of services" will still be a crime in most jurisdictions.
I start by assuming everyone is smarter than me, then I rule people out by process of elimination when I hear them say dumb things.

Also, I think I accidentally trick smart people into thinking I'm smart sometimes by just saying random things that turn out to have some unexpectedly humorous connection inside the smart person's brain. Sometimes I figure out the joke later, but often I don't. I think once this has happened people give me the benefit of the doubt when my random shit doesn't sync up to their preconceptions and just assume that they didn't get the joke this time.
sougou is one of the original vitess devs, he would know this very well.

Interesting. I guess I always assumed most gases are flammable

If there are reports of people testing positive on the set, how do you know it wasn't transmitted on the set?

People are saying they get tested every 3-4 days. If you get a positive test, that means there were up to 4 days the person was on set, potentially positive. 0, like absolutely no instances of anyone every contracting the virus on a set does not make sense with those circumstances.
Drastically less than the current program allows.

"The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is a no-fault alternative to the traditional legal system for resolving vaccine injury petitions.

It was created in the 1980s, after lawsuits against vaccine companies and health care providers threatened to cause vaccine shortages and reduce U.S. vaccination rates, which could have caused a resurgence of vaccine preventable diseases."

> It's not as "revolutionary" as a new form factor, but it's a step towards a broader change in portable computing.

Sure, the claim's been walked back from "as memorable as the iPhone" to "a step towards a broader change in portable computing." At this point I guess I agree with that level of importance.
Also about half of the domains are down at this point...the smart one hoated itself on github.
As far as browsers go, when visiting my own trusted sites, I don't worry too much about vulnerabilities.

Most of the vulnerabilities are also JavaScript-driven, which is optional on my sites.

On the server side, of course, I use stuff which is still maintained and sometimes a multi-layer security approach.

There is no shortage of both established/mature and still-maintained tech around. Some examples I appreciate: GNU, POSIX, Linux, Perl, SQLite, PHP, Apache, Tcl.

For all of these examples there are many accessible resources with oodles of knowledge in many different convenient forms.

Newer stuff, where the main resources are Reddit and StackOverflow, and the writing is limited to just a couple of years, is nowhere near as rich or useful.

Many newer sites are also heavy and JavaScript-laden, both of which slows down access and skimming speed, if I can access them at all.
Google Scholar is good for finding papers on topics you want to search for.

Following Twitter is good for discovering things you didn't know to search for.

I also think magazines are good to get for general reading, for example: IEEE Spectrum, Scientific American, Nature, Physics Today, etc.
Well you have conflicting stereotypes in this area: the other being that you're heavy on building regulations and 'codes'.

In my (British) conception of America, that way trumps privatisation/corporate empowerment.

What does max compensation for injuries related to vaccines have to do with paying people to get vaccinated?
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound? Why would anybody sign up for an Internet that doesn't allow them to connect to people all over the country or the world, half the promise of the Internet in the first place? I think this is falling into the classic Linux trap where you assume normal people feel really strongly about your goals and proceed from that false premise.
He obviously isn't drawing that conclusion from "this round of democratic primaries". In a comment addressing 20 years of history, your attempt to revoke it involves looking at what one half of the parties did in the most recent few months.

per WSJ that division is less than 5% of IAC revenue and shrinking. it would be surprising if there was more than a 2-3% move attributable to this news, which would bring you all the way back to, um, thursday's share price.

also, this price action should be incorporated into the opening auction, so really you should sell before the market opens, not when it opens
Incredible idea! I think this has so many more applications than just for scientists. I can see this expanding as a tool built in to EMRs for doctors as well. I’m excited to see how this project develops.
> Have you performed any load testing or measured performance and scalability?

Considering this software enables "Pay-per-minute" private video sessions, you could probably find better phrasing than "load testing".
Not that poster, but I use Fedora in WSL2 and the Docker for Windows integration and things (and by things I mostly mean `docker-compose`) just...work.

They have some k8s stuff I've never looked at, too.
A great point. We tend to optimize for measurable things: creativity is harder to measure, so unless we improve our feedback loops, we will resort to routine work that gives us a sense of accomplishment.
Snarky tone of your response put aside:

Whether the comment was incorrect in this case related to the paper in question doesn't invalidate the strategy, generally. Might be easier to pass scientific misinfo/disinfo if it were more difficult to reproduce, of course.

The comment was likely done in haste, meant to convey general strat that warrants consideration when examining the paper -- but could be easily invalidated, as you pointed out.
OK, but go back all the way to Bill Clinton and it's clear that this pattern does not fit the trends in the Democratic Party at all. In fact, the Dems have been quite successful at beating back progressives for decades. Big hole in the "polarization" narrative. Party insiders pulling out all the stops to make a Sanders win unlikely just makes it obvious in a way it might not have been previously.
"...people don't have the ability to determine if someone is smarter than themselves."

I'd disagree. You can look at HN, for example. When we upvote something, it usually means that we've learned something from the conversation and left a little smarter.

Few people are generally smarter about everything, unless you're talking to say, Bill Gates. Most people are smarter in certain topics.
A company is not a government... Yes, someone who owns a company has the legal right to do whatever they want, as long as it's not criminal, with their property.

They have complete authority... They don't have to have someone else endow it to them or give it to them...

So yes, they are by definition authoritarian. That's one of the cornerstones of being able to own private property.
Good to know, I often wondered why people produced these giant RUN statements instead of making multiple RUN.

which is the result of the change in processor. There is, of course, an undertone of bias in the review against the M1.

It's like someone reviewing a tesla car and complain that it's difficult to charge because there's not enough chargers in the road networks and gas stations don't cater for electric vehicles. A valid complaint about the tesla car, but not caused directly by the quality/capability of the car itself.
