>To me it feels like it's just something that can be intrinsically pleasurable. Like Jackson Pollock - I feel zero emotion from any of his work, but it's extremely intrinsically enjoyable and my favorite visual art that I've seen. My favorite music is exactly like that (and often even shares some structural similarities to Pollock's work and techniques). When I look at a Pollock painting or listen to one of my favorite songs, it just feels like wireheading; it feels kind of like a lot of dopamine activity somewhere in my brain, basically. An appreciation of the pure aesthetics and "good"ness, with zero emotional sentiment or perception about it.

I've never heard this put in words but that's broadly how I feel about a range of stimuli that is not limited to art or music. I haven't been able to find a clear rule as to what triggers this response.

>Out of curiosity, how many previously-unheard albums do you generally listen to every year?

I couldn't give you a precise measure but definitely in the 200+ range (although this doesn't imply a thorough listen in 90% of cases). Maybe fewer than 1 in 20 songs give me an immediate compelling landscape where I want to listen to it on repeat, but when they do I instantly recognize it. These songs can be unpredictably varied, from classical to obscure autotuned rap and everything in between. The landscape can be typically unrelated to the meaning or theme of the song, and is far more closely linked to the actual melody or instrumentation. For songs that induce a low level of interest, the landscape is very thin and not enjoyable. Sometimes it is even mentally painful to listen to songs I dislike. When I am tired or stressed, most songs can get irritating to listen to and I get close to the impression that all music is the same.

Additionally, it's possible for a landscape to change the more I listen to a specific song or genre. There are some genres like metal that I used to never listen to, but my relationship with most genres has changed quite a bit over the years. I generally classify songs as sunny or dark, sunny being the wireheading type and dark being the intense landscaping (the name comes from the fact that positive songs tend to be the former and more pensive songs tend to be the latter)

True, but just static analysis of private source code is likely to discover several vulnerabilities, forget about experts looking for them in the source code. How many companies even do security based static code analysis using state of the art tools?

Does hydroxychloroquine combat COVID-19? A timeline of evidence [1]:

On February 17, 2020, the State Council of China held a news conference indicating that chloroquine (CQ) had demonstrated efficacy in treating COVID-19 associated pneumonia in multicenter, non-randomized, clinical trials.2,3 This prompted multiple clinical trials in China.

I think it's pretty fascinating, and a little bit sad, that people exist who enjoy watching others suffer.

It's especially interesting to see the swarm of critics arrive proclaiming the end of the world when it turns out to be a pretty minor thing. Yeah we can still download standalone installers.
Like a lot of communication, it's in the delivery. :-)

But a lack of intonation or performance delivery (that head nod or shake) leads to a lot of confusion.

Furthermore, in text form it can be downright ambiguous.

But I do smile when I hear:"Yeah nah, thanks tho' aay."
It also means their finances are public so you can see exactly how much management is taking home.
And in that case, the company's response is pretty important. There's a world of difference between (a) "it was fine on our end, take it up with the shipper", (b) "we are sorry this happened and are shipping a replacement", and (c) "thank you, and we are looking into other shipping options as a result of the frequent complaints". Some combination of (b) and (c) is acceptable. (a) is not acceptable.
Genuinely curious — what would you expect to get from containers that you can't get from building on Workers + Pages as described above?
Yes, it's likely that the best stuff survived, but three chords and an ABABBA song structure is not the same thing as a cantata or a fugue. Classical music is the expression of a different set of technical skills and art where most current pop music is basically a kind of folk porn. Some of it is fun sometimes, but they aren't the same.
"Personal relationship with the brand" may not have been the best wordsmithing, but I think the OP meant something along the lines of "your history with buying and using other products made by the same company." Presumably if they had the manufacturing and QA processes in place to sell you high-quality goods before, those same processes should help make sure that what you're buying from them now is also reasonably high-quality. It's not foolproof, and of course there are exceptions (especially if the company has changed ownership), but it's a decent signal.
If you need to do a large amount of bitmapped font work and don't have a lot of time, or you want to add Unicode ranges, or you need antialising, or your target has a different endianness, I'd recommend BitFontCreator.

But more difficult, yes? Stacking filters is very different from getting a thicker filter. The former increases air resistance, the latter decreases it. So to get the equivalent behavior from two 20x20 filters, you'd have to device some way of routing air through both of them in parallel.

It's a true framing! Off the top of my head, cheese, yogurt, tofu, and flour are nutritious and industrially manufactured through chemical processes.

Not actually true. Many companies now buy cyberinsurance, and so the underwriters are now using their clout to putting pricing pressure on consultants. And, with some possible exceptions in the DIB, it’s not really clear that this hack by a nation state has really caused any loss to victim organizations. Without loss, the insurance claims will
be low/nonexistent, and the companies will try to get by on the cheap.

BSD and MIT licenses are Open Source but not Free, they are more concerned with providing a claim of ownership to the author than with the freedom of the user.

LGPL is a backdoor to let Free Software interact with non Free Software, which is a good thing too. If your product uses Free Libraries, no big deal, the more the merrier. But you cannot claim it is also Free y proxy.
In theory, you could provide an auth header representing your incoming user to our API and verify that way, yes. You'd still need to perform authentication (using Auth0 right now, as that is what ShareWith uses) to identify which user is hitting your application, but then the authorization check could be done via the API.

Thank you. Categories are a good idea. One category I've thought about is videos as a few people submit those and I've been rejecting them because they don't seem like webpages. Putting them in their own category might solve that though.

As far as upvotes, there is currently a heart button you can click next to the website on the history section. Not very discoverable (looking at the metrics about 1 stumble in a thousand is getting a heart).

Right now the hearts don't do anything but serve as a reminder for a user that they liked a page. I've thought about possibilities to incorporate that into the algorithm (e.g. more likely to get websites that have higher like rates) and having a leaderboard is a good idea too, though I worry that it would give an incentive to manipulate the like buttons. Creating a new user right now is as easy as just generating a random string, so a bad actor could easily cause infinite likes to a page.

> They will not discover, publicize, and punish other's bribes.

You know, that would be more convincing if it weren't shortly after investigations spiralling out from opposition research conducted by a political campaign unearthed the funnelling of foreign government money to campaigns through a notionally grassroots advocacy group that had long been influential in partisan politics, among other political corruption involving that organization, while retaliation for other political blowback growing out of the same source also focussed major attention expanding into a criminal investigation of foreign corruption allegations touching close to politicians on the other side of the aisle.
Haha, "is my code being used in space?" is definitely a line I hope to be able to use one day.
Barely getting by in America means being rich for much of the world including many European countries.

How is it that the economics works out so differently in, say, Eastern Europe where poor people's best choice is to buy staples in bulk and cook and can't afford packaged convenience food and eating out?

It's because American people's time is priced much higher and they earn much more overall.

Not sure about spacetime, but there's a similar effect mentioned on HN earlier: Earth's magnetic field has a vertical gradient that tiny spiders use to fly, even in absence of wind. It's plausible that those spiders figured how to alter their magnetic charge to "sail" in this "sea" of electricity.
> There is a lot of wiggle room in "provide the service requested"

There is, but it is so in any law, because laws can't be specified as precisely as computer code, and an attempt to do so would make them so rigid as to be unenforceable, and hence ignored. But it seems that companies aren't even trying to use this wiggle room, just ignoring it or plastering the damned cookie banners, so I think that it's a good thing for future privacy-oriented laws—when given even the most generous possible leeway, businesses would still rather track their users than attempt to colour within the lines.

The problem I have with sqlite for being a general purpose file format is that it’s difficult to take a sqlite file in any language and work with it without linking against code.

I kind of wish that there were native implementations of sqlite in every language.
I think people are just curious to see some actual evidence that points to Russia. I don't think it is unlikely, I just haven't read anything that clearly indicates a specific nation state.

Cheap food might be the biggest issue you sort of glossed over. Cheap because the US government heavily subsidizes wheat and corn. So we have chips, sugar, sugary stuff galore ... it’s cheap. One could argue it starts there.

Those are the rate charts before deductions. Most deductions are meaningless at the low end of the income spectrum. Find a chart of % payment by quintile and you'll get a different picture. Apologies that I can't find one in a quick search before running to dinner but there was good work done by the NBER on this.

Edit: by % payment by quintile I mean what percentage of total income is paid by each quintile, not what percentage of total taxes is paid by each one.
I know git is confusing on the one hand, and somehow instills over-confidence on the other. But the underlying implementation of "Store everything, SHA it, and build a merkel tree" is, in my opinion, the kind of thoroughness I want in a version control system.

What's the problem of linking against SQLite? In my book it's much better because:

- SQLite is coded in C, so performance and weight are going to be equal or better than any other reimplementation.

- Having one code base means no compatibility issue between implementations

- Also SQLite's codebase is so heavily tested and its track record is so good that I really don't see the point.

> You don't really need language features, assuming your language has sum types, polymorphism and first class functions (and why bother using a language that's missing any of those).

To be fair, this is basically saying "you don't need language features as long as you have these language features".
There needs to be the same kind if active consent whether it’s “required” or not.

The difference is if you can deny access for those opting out or not.

Look at threads you've commented in in your browser's incognito mode to see how your comments are invisible (Not this one, I've vouched for you which makes them visible, and some others have been vouched for.)

Your comments have been hidden by default to all users except those that chose to view them like me since September 2017. That's why so few people reply to you. You've been talking into a void. Don't know what you did back then to piss someone off!

I agree. I would run jails with very few files. A static executable, a config file, a log file, and some pipes maybe. Don't need anything else, don't want anything else (log file could be avoided with syslog, perhaps)
Thanks.

Looks like they're only targeting large websites. I've never build a 100k/month traffic website, just lots of (maybe 300+)

Yes.

Possibly if this was done however, we'd get native sqllite file format read/write libraries in most major languages.

Might overall be good. Sqllite-as-file-format isn't necessarily a bad idea if this infrastructure exists.
Kind of reminds me of http://utf8everywhere.org/, but in that case it'd be sqlite-everywhere. Which is a pretty good point. A large number of Apple-made iOS apps went this route, and they seem to be doing ok!

It's an urban legend. The reality is more boring than what people believe - it's simply that the manufacturers who falsely declare CE compliance don't even bother to get the correct drawing of the CE symbol (which is the maximum possible level of non-compliance, not even the logo!). Yes, the logo is a forgery, and the nickname "China Export" is a humorous way to describe it, but it must be emphasized that there's no "China Export" symbol - it simply doesn't exist, not defined by any government agency or trade association in China.
I usually like the FP style better, however that's not the best example. You're using a for loop rather than a foreach loop - admittedly C doesn't have foreach, but most other imperative languages have some variation of it, even BCPL had it.

foreach/map have the advantage of working based on array size information, while for needs to be told.
That gives the FP version an unrelated advantage.

Switch to foreach, and none of the 'classes of problems' you mention apply to the imperative version of the code.

As someone who has purchased the PS4 version to play on a PS4 (amateur) console, I found the game passable, yet "distracting". I've accepted to continue playing the game after the January/February patch.

I am a little confused by the wording here,

> therefore we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store.

Does this mean that anyone who purchased a digital copy gets a refund? Will we retain a license to play the digital game?

Or maybe CDPR/Sony have given up on ever releasing a PS4 (amateur) build of the game that works?
Ask HN: Is there an AirPlay mixer? 8 AirPlay Inputs – 1 AirPlay output?
I have been working with a friend on some video production that will end up on the YT soon. Nothing very interesting.

Now we are using a Black Magic gadget from BlackMagic Mini Pro. It has 4 HDMI inputs, some additional audio inputs and you can to some extent mix them, switch, etc. As far as I know you cannot merge.

Given all sorts of different devices that we have used as inputs, getting to HDMI was not always easy and even not compatible.

I started thinking that it would be cool to have a program and/or hardware that would take multiple different Airplay (audio and/or video), treat them the same as HDMI inputs and allow mixing of the inputs.

Seems to me it could all be done in software as an application.
and perhaps there are already a lot of them out there and I am just ignorant of them.

Of course having both HDMI and Airplay would be even better.

In thinking about this I figured as a messy prototype 4 Raspberry PIs converting Airplay to HDMI and then into Mini Pro.

Of 4 Mac laptops, or 4 iPhones.

I would love to hear input from others.
You don’t even need to think about diff algorithms to see why a cherry-pick, merge, etc may not do what you want.

If in my branch, I rename oldFunc to newFunc in file A, and change file B to replace the call to oldFunc with newFunc; and in your branch, you add a new call to oldFunc in file C... the code will break when we merge our branches. Our changes would both pass tests independently, but would break when we merge them. No file-level diff algorithm would detect a “conflict” here.

Diff algorithms only help with saying “are two branches trying to edit the same lines of code”, but the answer to that question is never enough to tell you whether two changes logically will apply cleanly to one another.
