I don't like how it is distributed.

Background: I'm using a Beocreate 4 Channel amp since a few months, and it's great (even if a little bit expensive, but it perfectly fits my usecase). As mentioned elsewhere, I use it for phase correct cross overs via FIR (at 250 Hz, which means it requires lots of taps), and also for DRC and cabinet correction (same FIR filters). I "simply" adjusted their DSP program (using SigmaStudio) to my needs.

The OS looks nice, and it allows to relatively easy manage DSP programs/adjustments and, what's also kind of important, playback music. BUT I have one HUGE problem with it: The whole software is only really available as an OS image. That plain sucks. This seems all the rage these days, but if I would run every piece of software on an RPi of it's own, I'd end up with a small RPi cluster in a year or two, while one RPi would be enough for all of that.

I tried to build AUR packages, but this was utter frustrating to figure out which software depends on what else (the buildroot dependencies they have are good-enough, but not exact; and some software seems to be randomly split across packages) and how they're properly configured and so on. So I gave up after a few weekends and am now only running the sigmatcp server.

The arguments for number of death seem to always miss an important part: quality of death. One cannot ignore the difference between dying in a hospital bed, most likely next to loved ones and under some kind of drug to alleviate as much pain as possible, vs being burnt alive next to others burning alive or jumping off a building "on purpose" to avoid the said fiery death.

> IIRC TX takes in ~$150b from the Federal government, but only pays ~$100b into the system. CA (like NY) pays more into the system then it takes out, so about ~$50b of the annual budget of TX is literally bumming money from other states, albeit indirectly.

This isn't true. According to the SUNY Rockefeller Institute of Government report dated Jan 8, 2019 (which used the data from the Budget of the U.S. Government, Fiscal Year 2019) the fifty states all had differing Federal expenditures vs Federal receipts but Texas and California were close. See page 15 at [1].

On a per capita basis, here are the federal expenditures per dollar of receipts for a few states:

Connecticut 0.74 50th

Signal can also function as SMS client on Android, so it's easy to communicate with those who have Signal or use plain SMS; besides additional hardening against SMS based exploits.

I've said nothing about manifest v3, or that uBlock Origin should not exist. The OP said that they trusted gorhill. I pointed out that gorhill already did exactly this once. It is not a hypothetical.

That said, it looks like 800k users still have the original uBlock installed. And also, uBlock Origin is blocking ublock.org on the basis of it being malware. Are you saying it's not actually a malware risk, and it's really on Origin's blocklist for some totally unrelated reason?
Weather Service faces bandwidth shortage, proposes limiting key data
> Because if you start to support Linux you actually have to support all the major distribution (Debian, Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) with their different idiosyncrasies, package format, libc implementations and/or version, etc.

That is plain wrong. I don't know who started with that line of reasoning, but it is very wrong.

The only good reason for not supporting linux are the drivers. And they will change more with time then with distro.

And no, solution is not flatsnaps. If there even is a problem, the solution is much simpler.
> fail to act in other areas where the consumer is constantly being hurt e.g. right to repair, warranty laws, right to return digital products.

This is the EU we’re talking about. It’s a bit weak on right to repair at the moment. But on warranties and digital product returns, we have some pretty strong and effective protections.

> There is a massive secondary consulting market because of AWS's price obscurities.

Its. Not. For. You.

AWS pricing is a part of your design. With some exceptions (that you aren't talking about), they charge you more for using more resources. You are forced to design systems that use less resources if you want to optimize your bill.

That consulting market is an optimization market. It's economics at its best.

If you are too small to have to take these things into account regardless, AWS is not for you. You're welcome to use it, but don't be surprised if you end up having to deal with these kinds of things which simply don't exist in the world of flat-price underprovisioned droplets.
Find what interests you in web app development. You mention Fullstack but that really is a recruiter term.

Slowly building a set of problems you have solved is experience. As you encounter similar/same problems, iterating on those solutions makes you a better engineer. Solving those problems with increasing levels of traffic introduces/uncovers new problems to solve across the stack.

Learn from others, co-workers or other companies that publish things about the problems they have solved. Some of the BigTech companies generate frameworks or have services that solve BigTech problems they have encountered. There are solutions there that could be useful. There also are problems + solutions there that no other company is going to run into but people like to emulate so they will use those solutions like a square peg in a round hole.
Because that EU regulation deals with people’s right to privacy, and control over their data in the abstract. It not limited to just websites and the internet, browsers and cookies are just one of many places where compliance should be achieved.
Ask HN: Do you like filling out forms built with Typeform?
I recently noticed Typeform (https://www.typeform.com) blowing up. I have personally come across many companies using them for surveys and applications. What is your opinion of forms built using the service? I only ask because I find them unnecessarily long and drawn out, and a chore to fill out compared to just simple web forms.

However, the popularity makes me think that I am in the minority, so I would like to hear your thoughts. If you really like Typeform, I would love to hear exactly why because I just don't get it myself.
Nice default credentials.

I can recommend Nextcloud app Face Recognition [1] for the purpose of a FOSS face recognition. You can run that on a Raspberry Pi or whatever. You can off-load the face recognition to a different computer, if you desire.

Why does it entail that? And do you mean forced abortions?
I'm not sure if I didn't get it or I got it all too well... If you want to educate pupils to be critical, then of course they need to be critical not only in a curriculum-intended classroom setting. They need to be critical in all parts of life, or you've failed in what you wanted to teach them. This also means arguing against catholic dogma in catholic religion class. Every point of view needs to be defended, even the point of view that the teacher and curriculum promotes. Arguing otherwise means that you teach pupils to only be critical on a few select subjects that are politically acceptable to be critical about, like the usual tropes of "human rights in china" or "death penalty in the US". Then you are just teaching the faking of critical thinking and reading, not the actual thing.

Bavaria re-introduced crosses in classrooms several years ago, with very shady arguments.

> "And why wouldn't all religions be treated equal in a country that guarantees religious freedom?" and "Religion calsses are, by the way, mandatory in all (most?) German states, and the church has huge sa in who teaches it."

The notion of religious freedom that you promote and that schools promote explicitly excludes freedom from religion, i.e. Atheism or Agnosticism. Just like forced religious education (couldn't pick ethics as an alternative for lack of teachers, and as soon as ethics was available, noticed that the religion curriculum is literally "dancing and singing" while ethics is hardcore philosophy to keep pupils away from the subject and from any kind of acceptable grades).

Oh, and that the death penalty was abolished is beside the point. If you pick "death penalty" as a subject of discussion, then of course it must be an equally valid outcome of the discussion to be pro death penalty, if the arguments provided weigh more heavily. Changing policy isn't the intent here. Learning to discuss such matters critically is. Which doesn't work if the outcome is predetermined and you will be punished with bad marks for arriving at the "wrong" conclusion.

Last time I checked jQuery was used on 9 out of 10 websites using JS with 8 out of 10 websites being powered by PHP.

How dare Node not be compatible with the market dominating jQuery! Silly server-runtime not having a browser window object!

> Now it just needs support for normal `import` statements from node_modules

Deno will never ever do that (other than by using standardized import maps) since that's not normal (normal meaning standardized).
I think there is a certain discrepancy between how progressive Musk is in technological terms, and how he behaves like any other billionaire in social terms. Look for example how he pushed for the reopening of the Tesla factories despite covid lockdowns, potentially putting the workers lives at risk. Or how he recently tweeted against the US stimulus package while Tesla is receiving billions in corporate aid.

This discrepancy is preventing me from fully cheering for the man, and I guess it causes a certain cognitive dissonance and an irrational defense of everything the man does by his fans.
As badly as people seem to want an authoritarian dictatorship, this is still a free country.

If I want to gather with my friends, I will.

Have you ever considered that people aren’t listening precisely because they have educated themselves on covid?
> No one is taking this right from you.

Correct. But it's tantamount to saying "you can't speak in this public square, how about you pretend your front yard is a public square and speak there."

Eventually, people are going to say the hell with that and that Google's "private" management of 90% of inbound searches and content is, in fact, public.

After that, maybe we can start calling it Gov-gle or something once it's nationalized.
It's more complicated than just that: the sites are designed that they just don't work if the browsers don't show them the cookies they saved before. And there's the whole story about the "third party cookies" and on today's pages there is often much more "third party" content than anything else and there are often dependencies on third parties to even see the content.

So to be able to somehow reduce the exposure, while avoiding every time clicking for a long time to accept and reject all the conditions from some big sources like Google (where in Google case is anyway not possible to affect much in spite of what one clicks, as the EU sees), one way would be to construct the compartments, i.e. keep a few "related" sites inside of something that the sites see as a unique browser. Then one has to maintain as easy as possible all that, to appear to the sites as "unique browsers", while using one.

Firefox has the "containers" for that but the use of them is, as far as I've tried, a bit clumsy -- it's still quite hard to manage what happens in which container -- there's too much manual work to do and it's easy to make errors, even if the user has the general idea of how he'd like to compartmentalize his surfing.

Chrome, of course, is less interested to enable their users to hide something from Google.

And Firefox is also not guaranteed to ultimately do exactly what the user would like the most, especially as the users for years flocked to Chrome, directly showing that they "don't care" giving Google what Google wants, as long as it's more "convenient." The structure of Mozilla entities is also somehow made to induce some decision problems which became more prominent with the time.

It doesn't seem that the "free market" can solve this, and EU intervening long-term could work, if they manage to be consistent enough and manage to enforce that. But it takes a lot of time.

DNT is too simple, there should be new better standard integrated in web browsers. The never ending popups with absolutely 0 constancy across sites is atrocious, moreover if I rejected a cookie for a domain on site A I will be prompted on site B if I want to reject it again.

For every domain that wants to create cookies, I should be prompted by the browser (like I allow camera access) if I authorize it to do so, we can even imagine that each domain would have cookies purpose information ('mydomain.com/cookies_policy') in JSON that the browser is able to present to the user (describing each cookie of the domain). Then the browser would be responsible to never create cookies that I rejected.

The main advantage would be that in incognito mode I would not have to repeat myself 10 times a day.
Many sites, upon clicking reject, do not actually disable anything and simply suggest you disable cookies in your browser (sometimes with instructions).
I'm not sure what the issue is here, TBH. CentOS Stream is not a pure 'rolling' distro; it's still tagged by CentOS major release, i.e. there will be a CentOS Stream 8, CentOS Stream 9, etc. The "rolling" logic applies to minor updates within a CentOS major release, but even before this, it's not like RHEL or CentOS were publicly releasing backported updates to earlier minor releases, so practically speaking you were forced to be on the latest minor release anyway. People are correct to point out that this is somewhat of a trade-off in stability but it was always there. The one thing that's new with Stream is that there will be a faster release process for these updates, and that's a very good thing.
I think that in a certain way Brexit could be beneficial for the EU. Britain was in basically just in for the economic side of the European Communities, and always rejected or scoffed at the idea of European integration, and with its large economy it allowed other Euroskeptical countries to get out of European projects without risking too much. For instance, I could well see a non-Brexited UK (maybe one where Brexit lost by less than 2%) rejecting the Recovery Fund as currently proposed due to how strongly it ties EU countries together, inadvertently strengthening the position of authoritarian eastern countries like Hungary and Poland.

The crazy part to me is using the cloud for testing. It’s crazy. I have a 5 year old dual CPU Xeon with 128GB of RAM and a couple NVME disks that I’ve spent about $1000 CAD total to build ($700 USD). Something in that range on Azure is about $1 / hour if you reserve a year. ~$9000 per year.

All the people running workloads that don’t require the redundancy given, like CI, blow my mind. The costs are astronomical vs buying a cheap or used server. Sure, use the cloud for you production builds, but why not augment it with something that doesn’t cost as much?
I stand corrected :)

Any info on what network/operator/operator/etc is suffering the issue? (just so people know about it if it's public, i don't see anything on HN at least)

Thanks, and good luck!
It's still this way; you can buy anime box sets in the US
for an entire series that costs less than a single episode in Japan.

Yes -- this was their main fear. Japanese audiences "reverse importing" discs sold in overseas markets.

Western markets may be "a joke" in terms of sales for exported Japanese-market anime, but it's also essentially free money for the makers of that anime. ADV, Disney, and others wrote some fairly big checks to license series back in the day.

They produce a show for the Japanese market, and if they are lucky they can score some nice checks from overseas distribution for essentially no additional effort on their part.

They segment the markets by burning English subtitles into the actual video.

I'm sorry, but this is mistaken. I've been collecting this stuff for decades and was once a reviewer who got quite a few review copies from ADV and others.

Perhaps there have been a few specific examples I'm not aware of but I've never once seen this. Well, except for the VHS era when obviously soft subtitles were not an option.
As a Brit living in Spain I can cover half of those, and in both Spain & UK whatsapp is absolutely everywhere.

In Spain in fact it's ridiculous - surveys show approx 97% of the population saying they use it regularly (https://www.messengerpeople.com/global-messenger-usage-stati...).

https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2015/02/16/inenglish/14240... has some interesting background on why. I suspect also the fact that Latin America tends to use whatsapp quite heavily (https://www.messengerpeople.com/global-messenger-usage-stati...) probably makes a difference too.

Markov Decision Process in Reinforcement Learning: Everything You Need to Know
> ...it's understandable why people are upset. If Red Hat had made this decision earlier (i.e., making CentOS 7 the last version), or made good on their promise to support CentOS 8, I doubt there would be anywhere near as much outrage.

Yes, they certainly broke their public commitment; I totally agree that they should have either announced that there would be no CentOS 8 from the beginning, or announced that CentOS 8 would be the last such beast, and after that CentOS would be stream-only. And it would be totally reasonable for the rest of us to take RedHat's other public commitments with a grain of salt from now on.

But that doesn't rise to the level of "betrayal" to me. To me, betrayal implies a stronger sense of obligation -- generally from mutual dependence. I just don't think that organizations have that much obligation to people who are consuming their loss-leader. (See also Travis-ci.)
I also came away with this impression. It seems fairly easy to explain, though. There are probably some bottlenecks in the treatment process. E. g. getting everyone to the hospital in time might be challenging if there is a large outbreak in a nursing home, even if there are enough beds and nurses at that hospital.
I know at least 3 people who are right now looking at what it will take to migrate everything they run centos-related, to debian stable.
It is impossible to exceed the carrying capacity of the earth. Let me explain why.

Every human being alive is made up of biomass, which means that the meat that people are made up of was once animals and plants, also eating, also drinking water. So the idea that food and water shortages are caused by increase in human population is simply not possible. It is not possible for there to be more people than there are resources to create them in the first place.

The only real difference is that human beings consume industrial goods and excess consumption caused by increase in standard of living (for example flushing toilets, something animals and plants do not do). But even considering these things, they're due to an increase in standard of living which can only come from an increase in production. In aggregate, humans cannot consume more than we can produce. So it follows that an increase in population that causes resource shortages can only lead to a reduction in living standards, and only down to the living standards of a subsistence agrarian society. Overconsumption of resources then is a self correcting problem.

Now, suppose human beings could exceed the earth's carrying capacity, which I have just showed you is not possible. This would cause many human beings to die from starvation, as the decrease in living standards would take us below the standard of living of subsistence agriculture in this hypothetical scenario. Even in this extreme case, it is still a self correcting problem. There is no need to artificially correct it.

Any and all problems that appear to stem from overpopulation are actually resource allocation problems, inefficiencies in resource distribution. The problem with China is not that the resources cannot be produced to support the population, the problem is that the resources are inefficiently distributed, in part because a centrally controlled economy cannot possibly distribute resources more efficiently than a distributed (or free market) economy, but that is a different discussion.
