Most of them sound bad because you --through no fault of your own-- have no idea how to use them, and no idea how to listen to them. Very few people are exposed to anything beyond ET and even when they are, they are rarely taught their historical use, with pieces appropriate to them, so that they can learn to understand them, and through understanding, appreciate and possibly even use them.

There's almost nothing about tuning systems that is inherently bad "because our ears", the closest to a real argument you could make is that resonant harmonics are good, but that doesn't really help us much: natural harmonics only give us a "good" tuning for one specific root note, and leaves so many notes unavailable that you'd be locked into a single natural harmonic key. Whatever pitch you come up with for any other note really is just an arbitrary (although usually at least informed by something), choice.

(Heck, starting with harmonics is itself already a choice, there is literally no reason to use that if your music is locally intervalic, where you don't get to skip up and down by intervals of an octave or more)

There's so many centuries of documented musical history, most of it not (to use a phrase that's rapidly become cliche) part of 18th century western musical canon. What you grew up with is what you're used to, and thus is what you're comfortable with, and thus is what you consider "good".

So be careful calling things you're not used to "bad": you're not used to it, so it's almost guaranteed to make you uncomfortable, and you'll be tempted to call it bad, and you should always try to catch yourself before that last step =)
The differentiating factor is that I will lose money on the domain by itself. Paying 1,000 per year on registration fees on a domain that can potentially have an unlimited price increase means the value of the domain in any sale will very rarely compensate for the money I invest into it.

The key thing about .com is that once you buy the domain, the annual registration fees are more or less nominal — that’s what allows for very high sale prices. If I could buy my .dev name in .com for even 10,000 I would do it. Alas it is easily in the millions, IMO at least 10m+ as apart from protection for future material hikes in registration fees, .com is still THE gold standard.

For me, it made sense because I am actually using the domain, and I can make it my brand name, eg “Name.Dev” incorporated. This helps me from a trademark perspective as well, so for a small time guy with an idea, it’s a great feeling to get a chance to get a good name that I can put to use.
Same thing happened to me but with an .icu domain, it’s always better to buy an expensive domain extension than a cheap one https://ruky.me/2020/12/15/dont-buy-a-icu-domain/
If you replied to my comment in a comment chain, I'd assume it's directly addressing my comment. Otherwise a top level comment suffices.

I don't understand your last point, why would there be lower demand for high automation? What do you mean "valuing basic labors well" in the context of automation?
I feel left out since I never learned Ruby. I love a range of programming languages, but I never had a reason to learn Ruby. It looks so powerful and seems to have a lot of quality of life features (backticks for a subprocess seems awesome for scripting). When I've considered to sit down and learn it, the big question always pops in my head: "is Ruby dead?". I think that's because of the lack of its prevalence in my life, because it seems like HN loves it and this most recent version seems fantastic, especially with some more advanced static analysis.

I wish I didn't have that idea of Ruby being dead for as long as I had, because it really seems beautiful. Maybe I'll have to make Ruby my next language project.
Python supports type annotations and static typing via mypy and co. I find statically typed Python is absolutely comparable to other statically typed languages. At least I don't feel much of a difference working with it compared to go, typescript.
Teams also uses Electron FYI.

Well yes, x86 macs in those classes were using underpowered Intel CPUs :-). That said, I've yet to see any serious benchmarks of this kind of workload. We know the M1 is fast for single threaded UI code (fast as heck atomics sure help with ObjC reference counting), but that says nothing about SIMD and floating-point heavy audio processing. Rosetta adds overhead to that, potentially a lot vs native ARM code, depending on the code. There is no way to make a blanket "the M1 is so fast it overtakes Intel even under emulation" claim.

I'd personally be more concerned about stability and drop-out issues. Apple sells Rosetta as an "ahead-of-time" translator, but that is necessarily best effort (because true transpiling is not a solvable problem, e.g. self-modifying code). Thus, there is always the possibility that the JIT gets invoked in the middle of the audio processing thread, and that won't end well for real-time guarantees. There are also programs that just don't work under Rosetta properly (for unclear reasons).
This is basically the Atlantic.
If it weren’t paywalled I could’ve done that. It seems that either you expected me to pay, or you didn’t realize this, which would put some irony in your almost obsessively and smugly bugging people about reading your links, when you didn’t even put in the effort yourself.

> How many climate models do you think there are?

I don’t know, probably more than the 14 they analyzed? What matters more than count anyway is whether the high-impact policy-shaping papers were accurate.

> What evidence do you have that there's been any cherry picking?

What evidence do you have that there’s not? If you trust the authors, that’s fine. I just personally happen to think trust isn’t enough.
In the UK law is being passed by decree without parliamentary approval, fundamental democratic freedoms are being specifically prohibited - freedom of speech, assembly and association and prosecution of people conducting hitherto legal and proper businesses.

The pattern is entirely that of emergency 'enabling law' examples from the past when equally scary things gave them apparent justification.

Boiling things down to 'just asking to wear a mask' is at best deeply naive and at worst arrogantly dismissive. Break out of the soundbites and take a moment to think about what's happening in historical context.

If you want a serious and reasoned analysis of the worries, concerns and threats under these circumstances (at least from a UK perspective) I firmly recommend you view Lord Sumption's thoughts on this matter (recently retired judge from the supreme court of the UK with a long and highly respected career in the judiciary) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amDv2gk8aa0

Unfortunately under circumstances such as the covid-19 mess we all live under (and thank your lucky stars you are in a 1st world country, the 3rd world will suffer at unimaginable levels, highly likely considerably moreso due to covid-19 aid cuts than covid-19 itself) things are considerably greyer than 'conspiracy theory nuts vs. just asking to put a mask on'. If only it were that simple.
If your browser/OS is set to dark mode, it automatically switches to the dark interface (using CSS prefers-color-scheme).
The "tons of knowledge" are "just" the STL. It is a template library and thus needs knowledge of the concept of templating.

So that's quite some knowledge required compared to list usage in Python, which doesn't require a single include line.

Of course, the situation is basically the same if you replace C++ by Java. Or Python by Ruby.
It's not an article. It's a personal blog post. The author is conveying personal experience and thinking. It is perfectly well written for that.

I found it interesting and informative about a part of the world I don't have experience in. If you don't like it, that's fine. Not everything has to be for you.
You make a valid point - my underlying assumption is that this would not be done. I am hopeful for brand name registrars like Google they will not do this.

Also it would kill their brand equity and the overall value of the extension, so I am hopefully for considerable price increases of 10% per year but not 50% or 100% etc.
This is a good premise for a movie!
My impression is Amazon is mostly for people who don't land Google/Twitter/Facebook.

The quality curves mostly overlap (interview processes are noisy), but historically, Google has grabbed the very top -- the people who get offers everywhere. I think that's Facebook/Twitter now. I know fairly few really top people at Amazon -- the one-sided employment agreement, and harsh work conditions don't quite have the same appeal as work-life balance, fancy perks, and all the other stuff that comes with Facebook/Google/Twitter.

Compensation's similar, though, and about double what one would get outside of FAANG.
Hmm don't see any rewrite in their cards though...they're pretty much gonna ride this thing with Ruby. If Shopify did it with their monster scale I bet they can as well.
Do you think such comprehensive enforcement would be limited to traffic violations? While you might not want it, you're advocating for total surveillance, and severe authoritarianism.
Just FYI, the issue is with certificates in general, nothing to do with LE specifically.

Dumbed down, the problem is that someone the old device never heard of, is not trustworthy.

Of course, an OS should still work after 8 years. But the problem is, that the OS has been abandoned (by the device manufacturer and possibly the community), so it is falling apart. Anything that accesses the internet needs regular maintenance to not become a security hazard.

Apart from the gay CEO, shouldn't the Republicans be worshiping Apple? It's a trillion dollar company that has figured out a way to make software companies and developers to PAY THEM to create software on their platform (for the "privilege" of adding even more value to it), and then force themselves in between these developers and the users to further gauge out even more money from both its users and developers.

A really fine example of capitalism (academically speaking).
In case anyone else was wondering, this doesn't seem to be the same thing as the Planner app of Gnome: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Planner

(Gnome's Planner doesn't look like it's being developed at the moment, but it's a pretty decent tool in the style of old-school Microsoft Project. The files are also pretty git-friendly. I'd actually been thinking of moving back to it, since it's lower friction to edit than Instagantt, and also lets one assign multiple resources to a task.)
I sync my Tasks with Nextcloud. On Android I use the "Tasks" app from F-Droid. It just uses DAVx5 to sync.
That time between destruction is the question. If it is a sufficiently long time, there should be many intersections of civilizations that are good enough to explore and life that is just starting or in the middle.
What I meant was you can take a messy Rails monolith and do a million things to improve it (including breaking it into smaller independent services if that's your thing). Rewriting in another language is the last thing I would do if the project is big.
The thing about predictive policing (and a lot of similar AI/Machine Learning/Big Data/InsertSalesBSHere) is that if a computer is doing it, you can at least see what it's doing.

Tesla Now Worth More Than Seven Other Top Car Companies Combined
The endianness being the same does not mean data structures are compatible. There are many, many more details about data structure layout that vary between architectures (and even compilers of the same architecture, especially once you delve outside of C).

VST2 is probably doable - what I use to run Windows VST2s on Linux is something similar with an out of process wrapper - but I can see VST3 with its C++ API being a major, major pain in the ass. And even then there are downsides. Running plug-ins out of process has significant context switching overhead. It's fine for one or two or half a dozen, but compare running 50 plug-ins in process and out of process and you'll notice a massive performance difference. You can fight that with larger buffer sizes, but that adds latency.
I think you're just ahead of the time at which this will become acceptable. In the early 2000s when the UK started deploying cameras everywhere, the end of the world was predicted.
How to Build Your First Flask Website – P2
shrug I work at Apple

I’ve just moved out of an R&D group, and yes, there’s things I won’t talk about because Apple pay me very well to keep their “surprise and delight”, well, just that

There’s no culture of fear though, like some are saying, it’s just that there are projects I’ve spent years bringing up from bare bones, then there’s the time it takes to turn that into a product that Apple will sell. I’m willing to wait for that to happen, good news can always wait.

Now I work in icloud. I’m the DRI for privacy in my group, which is something that Apple take very seriously, it’s a fun job although there’s a lot of “it’d be really cool to do that, we could offer X, but we need a good way to keep the users data private under circumstance Y, so we can’t”. There’s going to be some interesting work along those lines in the future.

In the past I’ve worked in software (Aperture, Final Cut), and on technologies (precursor to Spotlight, and then the mechanisms behind Spotlight itself).

None of the above is anything that Apple would have any problem with me talking about, though they’d obviously not want me to disclose anything in the future that I might be working on. I’ve also worked for the Ministry of Defence, and frankly no company I’ve ever worked for has the security of a government agency like that. To compare the two situation borders on the absurd.

I like the various jobs I’ve had at Apple, it’s the longest I’ve ever stayed at any company, even ones I owned! I’m in the fortunate position of being able to choose where I work, and I choose Apple. That’s the strongest statement I can make.
A domain I'd pay upwards of $300 to buy is behind a GoDaddy parked page, and I'd have to pay $70 just to message the owner to begin negotiating. The chances that person would be unreasonable is pretty damn high too, so I haven't been able to justify it.

Edit: Looks like it's $120 to pay for a "broker" now to contact the owner and then a 20% commission on top.

Even beyond lifespans, there are problems with materials and resilience. While a conductor wire seems solid enough for us, that's only true for some hundreds of years. Even if we lived 1000 years each, that doesn't guarantee we can make mechanisms of any kind to last 1000 years, nevermind 10000.

Hell, I'm not even sure we can make a computer that actually lasts 100 years.
People who see no value in the physical world don't want simulation to be indistinguishable from the real world.

> You can't keep borrowing money to pay interest on existing debt

Actually, you probably can. The long-term trend of interest rates, at least in the West, has to decline over the course of 700 years:

* https://www.visualcapitalist.com/700-year-decline-of-interes...

There have been many gyrations, but the trend is pretty clear. It's easier to pay past (more expensive) debt with new current (cheaper) debt. The UK is still rolling forward debt from the South Sea Bubble (1700s), Napoleonic Wars (early 1800s), Crimean War (late 1800s), and World War 1 (1910s):

As a person, your accounts come 'due' in your lifetime, so when you die your estate holdings will be sold off, and remaining debts will be paid off. If there's not enough to pay it off, then the creditors are S.O.L.; if there's extra left over your heirs can get something.

A country/nation on the other hand just 'keeps going' (short of revolutions or being conquered), and so there's no cut-off date when accounts have to be settled.
A more interesting question might be: what is the evolutionary pressure that caused convergence towards aging across essentially all multicellular living things on earth?
There's probably no way to guarantee that there are no memory leaks in a general purpose language where you can allocate memory dynamically. How can the allocator know if you actually need those 1 MB chunks forever, like you keep requesting?
That's only true if you're launching a piece of rock. Otherwise, it does cost energy to maintain a system running and, at the very least, tracking time for 10000 years.

It's not even obvious that it is theoretically possible with current circuit technologies. Pieces would fuse together, moving parts would erode, all sorts of organic materials might deteriorate, everything would be affected by the huge amount of time. And you would almost certainly need energy to actively fight this entropy so that you would have an active machine when you reach your destination.
> The media always like a bit of Apple bashing;

You'd think so, but no - with the media economics being what it is, media outlets have to think 10-20 times before publishing anything negative about corporates because then you potentially lose out on their advertising money.

In fact you should first show that fake phishing email are more effective then traditional non-phishing emails that simply warns you about the risk of phishing and gives a clear example of a phishing email without any trickery.

Something like: “SECURITY INFORMATION: Phishing emails target holiday bonuses to increase engagement. Always be on alert” along with a few points on what you are likely to see in a phishing email, how you could spot one, and what to do if you get phished.
That is true except that it does not offer a sufficient solution for a synced mobile app.

I was very happily using it and even created a Todoist premium account only to find out that the interpretation between the two tools is very lacking and a lot of the things I configured and structured did not make it to Todoist and vice versa (notes, folders, hierarchies, etc). If there would be a 1–to-1 translation between the two this would be awesome.

Having a great Linux Todo app is really great. But I have to be able to at least __see__ everything the same way on my smartphone, even if I can’t edit it. Having a half baked solution like this makes it unusable.
Thanks! That’s a very interesting fact.
