Yes, counter mode wasn’t novel at the time. The actual idea was related to encryption of network traffic. Back then, networks ran faster than encryption (processors didn’t have encryption hardware support). Since many networks have bursts of transmission the idea was to encrypt a counter with buffering of the results. This buffered stream of crypto values would then be XOR’d with the data when it arrived. The xor of course can run at full network speed since the encryption was done while during an idle time of the network.

The method takes advantage of network idle time so it doesn’t improve maximum bandwidth but instead reduces the average latency of a network not running at full bandwidth.
>> they change their tuning dynamically

Oh. So I guess that completely rules them out, of course - then, for the purpose of audio engineering.

I use Apple products mainly because of Logic Pro - which they make, and - to a lesser extent, GarageBand on iOS/iPadOS, as these can be later opened on Logic Pro on MacOS for serious editing. You would think that GarageBand or Logic Pro customers might be very interested in this product!

But, imagine - how the hell am I supposed to use the EQ in Logic - or any other DAW, for that matter - or any task any user might need to use EQing for - an having the tuning dynamically change?!

I would throw them across the room after five minutes of any serious Pro audio task.

Incredibly disappointing that there isn't an option, at the very least, to turn garbage like that off. That would drive me absolutely batshit, no joke, likely a same-day return for me. =/

$600 headphones that cant be used for Audio Engineering. Why do I go Apple again?

Thanks for the reply. You would think that these that have the opinion that games do not work on wayland would at least provide their own response than just downvote you.
In polish "now" is more like "już". Zaraz is a little later, like "i'll do it right away" - "zaraz to zrobię". "Już to robię" - "I'm doing it now". "Zaraz" means "I'm almost finished with my current task and will do that thing next".
You said "'insulting' is fairly obvious when you see it" and I asked if you supported the standard of "I know it when I see it".

I'm sorry if I misunderstood you, jumped to conclusions, or phrased my question poorly, but I hope you can forgive me for finding those two approaches very similar.

If you think there is a universal unambiguous system for deciding whether a claim is "insulting" then I'd be happy to learn about it. For example, I can imagine people disagreeing about whether the statement "Country X has a problem with corruption." is insulting to people in country X.
> People in charge of large FOSS projects like Gnome should not pretend it's just some hobby project they can do whatever they want with. Those projects are essentially public infrastructure and should be treated as such. It's not their personal plaything.

Pretty sure they are aware of this, even Gnome. Gnome's Dev Team is often citing user studies etc. and I believe they are genuine in trying to produce software for the public, rather then themselves.

...Though I believe they don't grog how disruptive changes (any change) can be.
Dijkstra, who valued rigor, was apparently greatly irritated by loose talk of computers as thinking machines and the use of teleological language in discussing them (in the sense of attributing purposes to programs, rather than their creators), so this quote could just be a reaction to that. If, on the other hand, it was offered in the spirit of "(artificial) machines could not possibly think, because thinking is something only (human) animals can do", that would just be a way of avoiding the question.
Ask HN: What would be your advice to a 20 year old?
I wasn't making an analogy - I literally use Alpine Linux when I need some common *nix tools but I want something lighter-weight than the Docker images from more mainstream distros. musl libc and glibc aren't 2 fundamentally different things - the former is just a more permissive license and a lighterweight implementation.
how much is a beekeeper compared to an exterminator?
> Since many apps request microphone access for non-obvious reasons

Interesting. I have what appears to be exactly the same bluetooth headset setup (Bose QuietComfort 35s), and use it all day every day while at work.

I have the slightly annoying thing that if I'm in a video conference all normal audio isn't heard (unless I switch the default audio output), but I only get that when actively in a VC. I have never had 'random applications requesting the microphone'.
"3 incomplete implementations and 0 complete implementations." Is Desktop Linux's epitaph.
I see you are deeply confused about either timeline or logic or both.

"In 1996, just 20 million American adults had access to the Internet," (https://slate.com/technology/2009/02/the-unrecognizable-inte...)

So... again... which of my statements is inaccurate?

I wrote:
"quarter of century ago most people even if heard about the Internet they haven't had a chance to use it yet".

How does that conflict with AOL or the quoted above that at that time only 20 million, less than 10%, of Americans had access to the Internet (and access isn't the same as using it)?

Also, this is for USA. The rest of the world did not have anywhere near that much access to the Internet.
So Slack didn't bother building with `rtc_use_pipewi­re=true` and that's Wayland's problem?

Complain to Slack.

Robinhood is now allowing 100 share purchases. GME continues to suck air.

And last weeks trading reports showed retail investors were net sellers of GME after Monday.
I still don't understand how this works?

Let's say I want to use a RUM script of some service, it will analyze the performance of all of my scripts, and collect some data about the pages the users visit.

Now how the cloudflare worker would do that?
It's no more correct, but I like "example given" and "in essence", for the mnemonic value.
I wouldn't say it's never "just ./configure && sudo make install". I compile a fair number of projects myself and (as long as deps are installed properly) it usually is just configure/install, on mainstream distros at least (Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch).

No doubt though a lot of projects could do much better. I find anything needing GTK and Qt are often much harder, usually because the required packages aren't documented anywhere, or if they are it's for Ubuntu that's 4 years old.

Nvidia and other things requiring proprietary are a nightmare. I will never buy another machine with an Nvidia card after the kernel 5.9 hell I've been through.
The United States was able to ramp up aircraft production drastically when it entered ww2 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_aircraft_produ....

We already have more deaths from COVID than ww2 yet...crickets on the mask production front. I’m guessing it is because in a year when COVID is not a thing anymore it will not be profitable to have that much capacity and corporations do not want to ramp up that much.

Also making masks is probably not the best strategy. If we used reusable p100 filters that would be much more effective even for the general public. I used to work with fiberglass wearing a similar respirator with an organic vapor cartridge and it was usable for hours at a time, so no idea why we haven’t started using these in high risk [grocery/prisions/schools] instead of KN-95/N-95 of which there is a counterfeit mask problem.
> The other reason is that this isn't base functionality, for example an embedded implementation has no need for screenshots.

I'm unsure what kind of graphical environment you can imagine where screenshots are not useful at all (if only to capture the screen when something weird is going on).
Drew Devault is an interesting character. I find some of the ways he chooses to express himself to be pretty poor most of the time. That said, Drew does come from a place of genuine caring, erratic, divisive, and brusque opinions aside. You just have to learn to filter out most of the useless anger and frustration he tends to speak with.

All that to say, nvidia doesn't really do the work to play ball in Linux with Wayland. There is no way to improve these drivers, you can only hope Nouveau can solve your woes.
My dad and sisters are beekeepers. They run around all year to capture swarms. First, they try to capture the queen and mark her, then keep her extra safe in a special cage. Then they have a "bee vacuum" which is basically a shop vac hooked up to a bucket, both with a really low flow rate to avoid injuring the creatures. Most of the time, it's an entertaining process and the bees are as gentle as flies.
Not to mention reliability. I had a $350 pair from Beyerdynamic that was really nice, but after 3 years of extremely gentle use (I only used them to listen to music in bed) the cable developed intermittent noise issues. Could I get them fixed? Sure, there’s probably a high-end audio store that would fix them for some large portion of the purchase price. But that’s probably true for most expensive wireless headphones as well. Instead, they just sat unused in my nightstand for a few more years and then got thrown away when I moved last year.
I used to watch her program all the time, and not that long ago. I considered it a good source of news and opinion even as someone who had a mix of left and right views.

Yeah, Hannity is worse than Maddow, for sure. But Hannity is a punchline. Maddow didn’t used to be.

> Battery is the much bigger problem.

It's a big worry on the smaller AirPods, since those are almost 100% battery and glued together (and I'm not sure how you could build a product like that in a way that's both small and has a replaceable battery). For the big cans, you can pay $80USD to get the batteries replaced if the headphones are out of warranty (and, presumably, the warranty will cover the full cost of a battery replacement).
Heh, yes, the PII scrubbing need is very real. This is definitely a contributing factor to our data ownership commitment--just keep your data in your own account.

On the cost topic, last week we published a blog post analyzing the cost of running Opstrace on AWS (https://opstrace.com/blog/pulling-cost-curtain-back). (In fact, feel free to do a local repro to confirm our results.) As mentioned elsewhere here on HN, we are incentivized to provide total transparency in terms of what you spend on your cloud infrastructure. We haven’t compared ourselves to everyone, but feel confident that letting our customers pay S3 directly is the best deal possible.
There's no defense needed; nobody is on trial. These hordes of users can start paying for developers if they want certain work done.
:facepalm: Yes, indeed, I conflated the website and the GitHub org. Mea culpa.
Which is why we aren't giving children the vaccine. The virus is considered safer at this point.
If verification is easy and accessible, what’s stopping a real person from getting a simple verification and then loaning out their account for bot actions (for a price)?
Config file converters are completely outside of the wheelhouse of the graphics team. Anyone can step up and build those without any graphics programming knowledge.
> It's not just the FOSS community, look at how non technical people react every time gmail, outlook or excel makes a tiny change to the UI (not to mention big ones). It really makes people angry when things don't work the same anymore, let alone when it doesn't even work anymore for their use case.

As well it should. Because now things that used to take three seconds will take 15 minutes for a month until you learn the new interface.

The designer will respond that yes, but then once you learn the new thing it will take two seconds. And if you save one second twice a day then you'll have made back that 10 hours you spent learning the new thing in less than 50 years!

Except that they're going to change it again in less than 50 years.

And that's assuming that the new design is actually better and not just different or worse, because also, this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25950351

Rule of thumb: If the new thing isn't better enough to cause people to switch to it voluntarily without any prodding or the removal of the option to use the old thing, it isn't better enough to be worth it.
I once spent a long time trying to work through all of the complexities just for what "Customer" meant in one fairly large organisation. Pretty much all followed from one chap asking "if a customer consolidates it finance team from being at each of their 40 sites in one country to 1 shared service centre, do we lose 39 customers"?
If you're going to do this make sure you put them on in the correct order. The surgical mask goes on top of the N95.

I’m guessing Elon said “launch”, so they did.

Would be interesting to see the details of why the FAA didn’t give the earlier approval, and second, if SpaceX actually went beyond some previously agreed upon limit in their flight.

It seems to me that the nuances are very important here, and if SpaceX applied for something like a higher altitude and were denied it, and then flew to within the previously proscribed altitude, then there shouldn’t be an issue.

I guess it’s Elon the gunslinger vs FAA the paperwork monster in a showdown.
Is there an actual distinction between "barbecue" and "barbeque"? I know there's definitely a scale of quality/practicality, ranging from stuff like burgers to beer chicken to boned cuts (t-bones, ribs) to brisket/pulled pork/friends, but I thought it was all part of the same umbrella.

As a comparison, in Brazil, the homely variety of barbecue will usually not feature things like cupim (beef hump), which it's a staple of barbecue restaurants. They're all considered barbecue regardless, though.

To go back to the idea of authenticity and grammar, I don't believe chicken hearts are part of american barbecue fare anywhere in the US, picnic-style or not, whereas in Brazil they are (though typically only in restaurants). Similarly, you'd pretty much never see hotdogs being associated w/ barbecue in Brazil, and they'd have vinaigrette and potato chip strips in them.

> So my new approach is “fuck you”. None of the Wayland detractors have a clue.

Nowadays I think even Microsoft is more friendly with its users than Linux desktop developers.
For existing software, there is little to no difference.

Both Sony and Microsoft are talking big about the storage subsystems of their new consoles, and how it's going to enable entirely new things, such as low-latency direct requests to the flash from the GPU. for gaming in the future. This is likely to spill into the PC ecosystem during this console generation, both for games and gpu compute.

Personally, I would not purchase a motherboard that didn't support PCIe 4.0 anymore, but I would not worry about getting the fastest possible drive to plug into it. The idea behind this being that I am almost certainly going to expand/replace the drive before it matters, but I'm quite likely to still be using the motherboard at that time.
It shouldn't be considered old at all. Using a 5-year old laptop right now, and I don't see much that needs upgrading.
Users don't like change. They don't like having to learn new things they don't care about.
This requires the use of JavaScript to style a website.
For a comment that is this cynical, I think it's largely correct. I've been struggling to communicate how a million retail clients are going to lose their life savings (or more) in this (and what comes after it) and get burnt badly, ending with devastation and even suicides, but it appears to fall upon deaf or otherwise indifferent ears continually, so it seems like the cycle simple cannot be helped.
No, it mentioned that Signal is more secure but less usable. They didn't seem to have any qualms with it. It seems to me the thesis here was basically comparing the tradeoffs that Telegram and WhatsApp made for usability, it seemed to imply that Signal didn't make any of these (I don't think it did).
I'll be keeping an eye on this post throughout the day -- if anyone is curious I'm happy to answer questions about HealthTensor. (somewhat obvious disclaimer: I work there)
Just spent 2 months refactoring the documentation on besos.readthedocs.io after this talk (watch the YouTube video attached to the article) I want to go back and restructure it again! Love talks like this, I always had a sense that one part of my documentation is different from other part. I did understand purpose of these parts of the documentation but there was and is a lack of structure. This talk gives me the definitions and vocabulary to articulate that sense of frustration and some tools to solve it. Thanks for sharing!
