This is definitely becoming a bigger problem.

Mixcloud seems to be the only live video streaming platform that has worked out licensing rights for DJs to livestream without ‘censorship’.

To me, the worst is not even the takedown, it is the partial ‘muting’ of the audio at some random point in the DJ’s set.

And just like most streaming providers, where the license will change on a whim, a video that was not censored, can wind up being censored months or years later, or vice versa, where a DJ set that was blocked, can now be uploaded again.

I have been lurking in reddit on the /DJs and /beatmatch threads, and the topic of how to livestream is very popular.

The current advice for youtube is to make a simple video of all the songs you want to use, upload it as a private video, wait for youtube to flag any ‘bad’ songs, then make your mix off of the allowed songs, then upload or livestream and hope the licensing rights of the music you used is ok with Alphabet.

I am not a FB/Insta user, but the advice for livestreaming DJ sets on those platforms seem to be don’t stream for longer than 45 minutes and don’t allow the livestream to be saved for later, or you could be banned/suspended.

Facebook and Alphabet are the gatekeepers of ‘longform’ pop culture right now.
At the moment, knowing how to compile X to WASM and have it run is a kind of expertise.

I hope that changes, the sooner the better, but right now it's not trivial.
This hits home. Great way to learn on a little risk free side project, where you can pivot on a whim. This is how I like to learn.

Unfortunately at work we have SCRUM teams that practice this methodology religiously, but not on side projects. One team spent two months building a buggy functional wrapper around gRPC. When asked why- "We did it because it wasn't functional". The result is gobs of wasted cycles building overly complicated and abstracted garbage, and then further amortizing that over time with ongoing escalations.

I'm not sure how to help them gravitate away from shiny things to focus more on outcomes (simplicity, reliability, speed of delivery, meeting needs and creating value, etc..)
Friends go away, die, disappoint you. Friendship isn't worth the maintenance and ending of it, for every minute it might make your life better (and doubtfully so) you will get two minutes of misery.

The only semi-reliable friends are family members, and even if they are loyal to a fault, they do have an expiry date.

Get used to being alone, the sooner you prepare the better.

It's trivial to observe runtime behavior with a debugger.

If you use constructor injection as it is recommended, just add a breakpoint in the constructor and start the app in the debugger.

@Component
public class Foo {
public Foo(Bar bar) {
// breakpoint here
}
}

Edit:

In most cases it should be obvious what is getting injected, e.g. in the example Bar is another component/bean that was manually created. If you have two beans of the same type, use a qualifier to specify which one you want.

If you are having issues with unexpected things being injected, I'd recommend setting up a few tests that establish that your app is properly wired up.

I relate to this story. However, after several years, I figured the inflamed tonsils were just a side-effect of other issues. Check if you have postnasal drip, a deviated septum, or a nasal polyp. Several related chronic issues may also cause it.
But it's not the reality though, ultimately software doesn't want to commoditize hardware, it wants to have choices, sure, but only for itself, so it can lock people in to a specific choice to sell it to people too and with high margins. Vice versa is true too, hardware wants to build software ecosystem around it, but in a such way that uses only its hardware, not other hardware. This is why wintel is a thing.

Only from a quick glance it appears that we all win, but really none of us can win from this. Worse, megacorps don't really compete with each other, their view on competition is pretty perverse, they "compete" as long as such "competing" doesn't eat into juicy high margin profits that exist only on monopolized markets, so it's more like dividing markets and forming oligopolies, but not commodotizing each other.

I think you severely overestimate the resolve of the average user. They'd be very easily socially engineered into clicking yes, especially when the website is holding the content hostage. Not to mention, there's a wide array of fingerprinting techniques, and many of them have legitimate/common uses in normal sites. eg. window size, browser timezone, canvas.
This is wrong.

If I want to DJ a livestream on Youtube, I can only play certain songs, regardless of my willingness to pay for the songs.

Certain music is prohibited from the platform.

It is not a business, I am not trying to sell ads or promote anything.
As others say, it's the opposite. Newspapers and magazines usually have a character limit of well under 80 characters per row of text.

Every so often I open a magazine that doesn't abide by this, and has text that spans across the whole page, and they're nearly unreadable.
It is really irresponsible and dangerous to post this sort of thing on HN, and dang should be ashamed to leave it up so long. Junk articles like this do nothing but sow public distrust in an extremely trustworthy scientific/medical system.
Science is not the process of figuring out a new thing in 2 months. For January-April it was possible for a smart layman to outperform the scientists on basic "what is going on" questions - because neither had any data and everyone was guessing what the terrifying signals out of China meant based on political knowledge and quality of the rumours feeding back.

Science is the process of flushing all the bad opinions out much like they are doing in this article. Now in December the scientists will be comfortably ahead of the laypeople in their understanding of the Coronavirus.

Thank you for this. Another way to put this is "your tests for code that uses a 3rd party API should not amount to an uptime test for the 3rd party API."

Some time ago, I observed that tests in the Boost.Accumulators library were similarly confounding tests for the code one wrote vs tests of statistical hypotheses:

How would that work? Secure multi tenancy is a difficult problem in its own right. You would now have to build a security layer outside the JVM because the JVM is exposing too many interfaces. You can use containers but the amount of interfaces a container exposes is still high enough that a container escape is possible. Then you need a security layer on top of containers based on VMs. At this point rolling your own security solution is either going to be highly inefficient because you are allocating too many resources to individual customers or expensive because developing infrastructure management to stay secure doesn't make your company more profitable. Your last hope would be to use an off the shelf solution like firecracker to run each JVM in a VM.

Alternatively you can just use a runtime that is sandboxed by default and avoid the cat and mouse game.
I've been trying to use the AssemblyScript compiler in a Rust project compiled with MSVC. So far, my best solution is calling QuickJS[0] on the command line. Is there any obvious solution I'm missing? Perhaps NectarJS[1]?

Ya the ones that never bought them like Delta etc
It's an interesting article but what seemed missing to me, as to the theory of why this would be, was any mention of money. That thing that correlates with IQ quite well. Instead, there's a whiff of heroism in their description of higher IQ individuals, which would be convenient for a couple of intellectuals:

> More intelligent individuals, who possess higher levels of general intelligence and thus greater ability to solve evolutionarily novel problems, may face less difficulty in comprehending and dealing with evolutionarily novel entities and situations

It seems they'd be amazed at how many "evolutionarily novel problems" can be solved simply by having more cash.
I feel like the opposite of this author. I am easily influenced by the people I surround myself with, professionally or otherwise, and friendships have had a huge influence on who I am, my hobbies, interests, etc. I wouldn't have learned to program had it not been for a friend in school. I suppose without them I could be breathing, but I suspect I'd have less knowledge.
We are going to have a housing crisis and more because of climate change and people moving from places where temperatures are unbearable and the weather is more unstable.

I think it's good to occasionally remember that, for all the marvels of medicine - and there are true marvels to behold, no doubt about that - we're still just scratching the surface, and barely even that for many domains of medicine. Biology is extremely complex, and doesn't yield very easily to the methods used in physics to alleviate complexity, since biological systems are extremely inter-connected (whether at the social level or internally) and hard or impossible to separate into clean functions.

I think this has more to do with our culture making everything about the individual. You can’t name bands anymore, because explosive popularity is the realm of the individual artist.

Even massive individual artists, disappear into relative obscurity when they move into a band format (John Mayer).

Kanye, Taylor, Nicki, Lizzo, Justin, Drake, Ariana, Billie, Miley...

Even hip-hop, which seems like a distinctly individual genre, used to be ruled by groups. NWA, Wu-Tang, Roots, etc.

Our current culture over-values individuals and loves the myth of the one wo/man show. Teams are boring. Give us someone to follow.

You see this with founders too. Even if the company was created by a team, there must be one figurehead.

I guess this is because so much of marketing is aspirational. Most people try to purchase the identity they want. It’s easier to sell an identity with an actual person.
Yes: some commenters are reading my comment as a distinction between an MBA and an engineer mindset. Whilst that might be a genuine phenomenon in some contexts I wasn't drawing any firm conclusions about that in my comment above. I've worked with plenty enough engineers who've cut corners over the years to know that we're not inherently more virtuous or competent than other professions. We are however just as human and subject to the same foibles and vices so, yes, to everyone reading it: please don't over-interpret my earlier comment.

This seems to be a common misconception that the slow progress in politics (whatever that means depends on your own political compass) is purely due to the lackluster presentation and evidence finding for policy changes. If the past years have shown anything it's that preconceived notions and ideologies are very hard to change even in the face of overwhelming evidence.
> Nobody writes slow programs on purpose

True, but nobody writes fast programs on purpose either, only "fast enough" programs. The optimization work stops as soon as it "feels" fast enough and, this "feels fast enough" has been the same over the last few decades no matter how fast the underlying hardware is. Any advance in hardware will ineviatably be eaten by software within a year or two. That's why running old software on new hardware feels so increadibly fast.

I also disgree that we got better developer- or user-experience out of the "deal". Most commercially developed applications have a "peak version", but still continue to be stuffed with new features that nobody asked for. E.g. name one feature that was added to Microsoft Word, Outlook or Excel in the last two versions which really added to the "user experience".
> There are question begging, conclusion jumping and tenuous leaps of logic in the blog.

Point out a single specific example of any of those things in the article, please.

> Does GRRM truly encourage this view? The articles vaguely allude, never establish

The article literally quotes GRRM multiple times with regards to his claims about the historical accuracy of the books. As I said in another comment, this is the second sentence:

> George R.R. Martin’s claim that the Dothraki are “an amalgam of a number of steppe and plains cultures”

And he has made specific claims about the nature and prevalence of sexual violence in medieval Europe (that have been widely rebuked by historians), in defence of the sexual violence in his books. This is also in the article:

> he has stated this outright as a defense of his work that this is how it ‘really was’

The article is the opposite of "vague".

> What does it mean to say the story is "realistic"? What are they referring to? Historical accuracy, or the rejection of romantic narrative idealism, or something else?

It's pretty clear that he's referring to historical accuracy. (although he does in other articles talk a lot about how internal inconsistencies in the world of GoT, which is maybe something different).

> When GRRM says the Dothraki is an amalgamation of various cultures, what, specifically, is he talking about?

Uh, their culture? Which includes dress, food, societal structure, etc. Each of the articles deals with a different aspect of the culture. Are you really trying to argue that the definition of the word "culture" is in contention here?

> the assumptions are invariably interpreted in ways that are least charitable to GRRM and the story.

You'd have a better time reading and understanding literary criticism like this if you stopped thinking about it like the author vs the critics. This series of articles increased my enjoyment of game of thrones: it's really cool to learn about battle tactics and history and real cultures, and it's fun to argue about the show.

> Yes, author tells us why he believes it is a very serious problem that people think the show is historically accurate because... the Dothraki are a demeaning stereotype of the armies of Ghenghis Khan.

Talk about interpreting something uncharitably! That is not actually the reason the author gives for criticising the work. If you read the article again you'll find his actual reason.
> I know in reality that this would only make me less interesting, more distant. But if I am to make something of my life before I die and am forgotten, I need dedication.

Can you define what you meant by "make something of ny life”?

Oh yes. I had a 'friend' in high school, an only child. We'd be doing some group activity and look around and "Hey! Where did Kirk go?"

Next day, I'd ask. "My TV show was starting". No goodbye, no excuses, just said it like it was a reasonable thing.

See, he valued 'friends' as long as they were more entertaining than a TV show. Then he'd simply choose a more entertaining option. Screw the friends; screw social norms; just go stimulate his senses with something else for a while. Totally self-interested in a sense.

So only children can certainly be strange.

Hehe - my scythe blade is from Styria, though I've never been there. (I had it shipped from Cornwall back to Australia many years ago.)

That walk sounds tremendous, though well beyond my capabilities. Longest I've done is the Overland Track in Tasmania, Australia - and that was over 8 days (it can be done in 3).

Were the cattle tagged or branded? It sounds like there's a huge non-fenced / unbounded area to try to track these beasts.

Absolutely the opposite: a healthy correction system is a good sign. It's true that a lot of this stuff should not have been published in the first place, but that's a much harder problem to solve.

> You should have a core (pure) functional component, that doesn't perform network requests, and an outer component for side effects

IMO, this is the biggest thing we lost with hooks. Before there were two different types of component, and you couldn't make a pure functional component stateful or effectful without completely rewriting it.

I love hooks, but I'm constantly asking in code reviews "are you sure this is where you want this state to live?".

The other big problem with hooks is that there are no safeguards (and little documentation) about using them wrong. The post you're responding to mentions using `useEffect` to toggle a loading spinner. This might make sense if the loading spinner is outside the React component tree, but if you're using useEffect to toggle some piece of React state, yer doin it wrong. Once you start slipping these kinds of hacks into a codebase, it's a slippery slope.
San Marino, at the top of the list (v tiny geographic size and tiny population, too), made me look the place up - was trying to find out age demographics. However, what a fascinating history:

- San Marino had the world's first democratically elected communist government

- San Marino has had more female heads of state than any other country: 15 as of October 2014

- San Marino lays claim to being the oldest extant sovereign state, as well as the oldest constitutional republic
The issue with ruminating on social issues is that there is a very high risk that you go down the wrong path, and that it makes your life more difficult. As a society, our written down understanding of human behavior is still vastly inferior to the tacit understanding you get from lived experience.

Maybe if you are happy with your life and friendships, philosophizing a bit can make it even better. But if you are unhappy it can be a trap.

Streaming in general has changed a lot of things. Probably for the better but can't make an omelette without cracking eggs and all that.

Video is the same way. We've mostly lost the collective cultural experience of Must See TV Thursday (or whatever). Or not. I haven't watched the series yet but Baby Yoda certainly made the rounds. Though there is a definitely increased cultural fragmentation of which at least some of the consequences are a clear negative.

In general it's all mostly a positive but some things get lost along the way. Time to play some Apple Music playlist :-/
> I'm friendly, agreeable, and try my best to positive. But that's analogous to me being a good sport: that's great and all, but when it comes time to choose who bats on your team, you want someone good at sports.

That bit threw me for a loop a bit since "a good sport" isn't someone who is good at sports, it's rather someone, well, friendly, agreeable and positive.

I have work in Beauty of Fractals, I was 18, a fresh faced Midwest geeky punker that got his mind blown by participating in a "math research program" operating out the of Boston University Graphics Lab. It seemed like nonsense, tracking computations with trigonometry functions given imaginary numbers, but the images: this was the first time many of the easily recognized fractal shapes were ever seen. Mandelbrot and DeVanney knew the imagery would be complex interesting, but did not expect the fantastic fractals we all know now. Fun times, indeed.
A friend is somebody you call when you're stuck in a ditch in the middle of nowhere, they say "Be right there!" and jump in their truck and head on out for an hour drive to get you.

You don't have somebody like that in your life? You have no friends yet. Just social acquaintances.

See, in Victorian England they knew about this and had names - passing acquaintance, nodding acquaintance, speaking acquaintance. Needed an introduction to get to the speaking. They weren't friends, just somebody you had been introduced to.
