This is a fairly basic interface, I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been more of a scene of making unusual music interfaces in the format of Electroplankton on the Nintendo DS.

It does seem to be one of those things where the people with the musical knowledge to potentially make super creative interfaces have gotten so deep into the technical side of things that they struggle to make intuitive UIs.

Not sure what country the person works in. In addition it could be a situation of a small town / tech backwater and word getting around, regardless of the legal question, so quitting out of contract could get you blacklisted.

Ultimately though a person could not show up for any reason at all (e.g. hit by the proverbial bus) and you need to plan for that. Sounds like a company that just flies by the seat of its pants so they probably have that 3-month clause for that reason.
Here's another piece of writing from Stephen Shore's website, describing Benoit Mandelbrot's fractal geometry. The context Shore gives is different to that of a mathematician or an engineer, and yet harmonious with and complementary to both.

Also I probably have some kind of minor power glitch at least once every two weeks and it drives me nuts to have to reset all the "vcr clocks" 20 times a year or so. If it set the clock against WWV or GPS or WiFi I might be able to handle it, but it just makes me depressed to see blinking clocks, set them, and know I'll have to do it again in two weeks.

Oh, I don't think I do.

Of course, but in the past these would tend to go hand in hand, and the context here is not only about type safety, but about checked behavior for ignored return values and for exhaustive switches, i.e. all syscall errors are handled, and the compiler (or interpreter) will crash at compile time or run time with an error if not. Do Scala, Kotlin, C#, F# have all those features? Do most Java versions also not allow integer overflow?
False dichotomy, in more than one way.

You can still educate children via remote work - as a personal anecdote, mine have done better with a hybrid school approach - and a utilitarian analysis must still take into account emotional effects on children of losing a relative.

I think it's because at some point they start to rely on features solely available in OSX

This is the only answer that really makes sense to me. I think it tightly couples with MacOS stuff like sandboxing, whatever codec stuff they're doing, and whatever perf stuff they're doing to make Safari "feel" so fast on the Mac. I think they feel that replicating all of that in Win32 would just be impossible/unsustainable. Still, I wish they'd just make it some kind of "developer edition" thing. It could be a bit janky, even... as long as it was clearly labeled "for developers" or whatever I don't really see it giving the company a black eye.

We're all dependent on Chromium, its devteam and what Google
decides is "best" for the whole world and the Internet. Which
I believe, is certainly a bad thing.

I agree wholeheartedly, and Apple seems to agree! That's what's so f'ing baffling to me.

Clearly they feel that Safari is an extremely important project; the only thing standing between Google utterly 100% owning the web in every sense that matters. A thing that would clearly be bad for Apple.

Accordingly, Safari on Mac gets a ton of investment from Apple. And clearly Apple feels Safari is so important that it's the only browser engine allowed on iOS.

But, I can tell you from experience, a hell of a lot of B2B stuff and stuff cranked out by small shops is just never tested on Safari. And one reason is that a lot of small shops just don't have a Mac sitting around. And experience tells us that this is the death of a browser. Nobody wants to stick with browser XYZ once some percentage of their stuff stops working. They don't want to run multiple different browsers. It's a pain. They eventually follow the path of least resistance and just use the browser where 100% of their stuff works.

Good thing I use remote cloud storage extensively but with client-side encryption of content, directory and filenames.

I am reminded of Einsteins quote about making things as simple as possible but no simpler. I feel that USB-C is an attempt to make things just a bit simpler than possible.

With USB-A and -B, there is a physical indication of the direction of flow (data and/or current). Just "connecting" two things is sometimes unambiguous, but sometimes it's not.

I think his point is that working on deep internals (rather than client facing products) is difficult to show off.

I think this is true, because you would have to do extra work beyond what your being paid to do, to make it show-off-able.

However, look at Brendan Gregg for example. He works on deep internals that would be very hard to show off without putting extra effort into sharing his knowledge. But since he does make that effort, he’s seen as an industry leader for his skill set.

> In recent years, local and international animal-rights groups, particularly in France, Germany, and the U.S., have been ramping up pressure on governments and the egg industry to commit to ending the practice—particularly given technological innovations that allow producers to identify the sex of a developing chick before it hatches. The process is called “in-ovo-sexing,” and such technologies, versions of which are already deployed in some countries, can obviate the need for live chick culling.

I am not certain why it is better to crush a chick within its egg than to gas it after it hatches.

> that method, which involves creating a tiny hole in the eggshell with a laser … Germany is poised to become the first country to ban the industrial culling of male chicks

> maybe for very large producers, the investment is worth it

Ah, I see what this is really about: creating a market for someone's in-ovo-sexing technology, with a secondary effect of raising the bar for independent producers.

One does have to admire the framing language, too: culling eggs is still culling. Germany isn't considering banning culling, it's just considering mandating that culling be conducted earlier.
April last year: https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/08/doctors-say-ventilators-...

The short version:

Blood oxygen levels were falling into "should be dead" levels never really seen before (even though they were otherwise alert and fine and had no other hypoxia indicators), which caused doctors to panic about pneumonia and not being able to breathe, and put people on ventilators prematurely. However, it wasn't really having an effect, so the ventilators kept getting turned up to their maximum setting, which puts too much pressure on the lungs and causes additional permanent damage. In most people this caused a turn for the worse instead of recovery.
I assume you could add a timer somehow, so you could make it like a combination lock where you have to wait X time between turns?

Everyone chimed in that electronics are so easy to repair(ofc its HN). Whoever was offering money for the truck obviously knew how to repair machinery but not electronica. So they prefer what they know to repair, lets bash their lack of knowledge?

We could also try to, hm, make electronics easier to repair by providing an fn manual and not being so anti-repair as an industry. But how are we ever going to be as rich as Apple and Tesla if we started selling actual products and not just onboarding to a crappy service?

Exactly. Huntsmen are like daddy long legs compared to FWS.
I think you got it backward (though OP can chime in). I think he means that complicated tax laws makes it very difficult for tax authorities to figure out and trace their tax bill. If say, the rich guy has 250 complications that each require 20 man hours, that'll cost 5.000 man hours. It's not clear if the study that's promising 7-6 bucks for each buck spent on the IRS is taking that into account. It's not clear, also, if investigating these complicated setups will require more experienced professionals.
UACH is worse than a header.

The server shouldn't get information about the client.

Unsurprisingly, UACH is spearheaded by an ad tracking company that benefits from a moat caused by minimally viable/workable browsers costing millions of dollars and dozens of developers to implement.

As you may or may not know, some women will voluntarily have sex with men in exchange for money, no coercion or assault required. If a billionaire flew you to a private island with attractive woman offering to have sex with you, then the presumption that those women are paid prostitutes is not that far-fetched.

Personally I've been waiting for the CutiePi to use the CM4, and now they have updated the platform I'll probably get one myself.

Having said that it looks like a missed opportunity here for supplying the masses with a Linux device for learning purposes especially in the developing countries during the pandemic or not. I think the best price for this device is USD$100 as promised by the ill fated OLPC laptop project. Perhaps USD$100 is not much by developed countries standard incomes but in most part of developing countries you are very lucky to have USD$100 disposable income at the end of the month (or year) to buy your children a tablet/laptop/computer.

It also interesting to note that the 2019 Galaxy Tab A (without LTE) with similar specs (8", 2 GB RAM, etc) to the CutiePie is probably cost about USD$100 nowadays [1].

The good news is that since CutiePie is based on open hardware system perhaps someone can use the open design to come up with a cheaper version closer to the USD$100 price point[2].

p/s: RPi 400 costs about USD$100 but the fact it does not has a built-in screen limits it impacts on usability department for children

The thing with California (and US in general) is that 120k is the lower end of tech salaries, where as in the UK it's the top-end. So while tax rates might be similar, US salaries significantly offset it.
Very easy to set-up and customize due to the huge ecosystem.

You can find a pre-made website for any niche you can think of, you pay like $59 for a theme and you have a high-quality niche-specific website.

For example, I had to make a website for a physiotherapist, I just got this theme https://demos.qreativethemes.com/physio/ and changed the text/images.

The best part is that you know you are not stuck with a specific theme/solution/provider, at any point you can change any part and it will probably work without many issues.
Facial recognition in stores, your credit card, or your loyalty card tie your purchase to an ID, which then can be back-tied to all the Internet surveillance in your browser and on your phone, to attribute purchases to ads viewed on-line. It's a bit tougher with attributing real-life billboard ads.
Following React conventions is certainly an option and is supported by SimpleR State's unopinionated and flexible syntax.

1. It was inadvertently removed from the documentation, but these are equivalent:

const count = counter.use()

const count = useEntity(counter)

but the `counter.use()` was chosen in the documentation due to more feedback that requested this "simpler" format (i.e. no need to import `useEntity()`. But again, to your point I will restore the mention of `useEntity` in the documentation.

2. As for the [state, setState] convention, think of useEntity more like useContext than useState. Then it gets simpler.

3. I would also argue that since this is "shared" state, the developer might (again, the library is not opinionated on this) choose to separate the logic of updating shared state. For this reason, I didn't see any reason to provide a setter through the hook, when you can access the setter from anywhere via something like counter.set(). Conforming to useState convention was not justified in this case, especially since useContext convention equally makes sense for shared state.

4. To suit whatever convention, you can always do something like this alongside the definition of the entity:

export const useCounter = counter.use

I want to point out that SimpleR State provides the flexible constructs to allow the developer to tailor it to their preferred convention.

Thanks for your feedback.

I'll echo what several other people are said. Your README looks really good. I can immediately figure out what your project is about. You're putting supported Postgres releases front and center, which is good.

Some suggestions:

- One thing that obviously can be added are examples, but I wouldn't litter the whole README with examples. Maybe link to an examples page if you have one?

- When mentioning openCypher and AgensGraph, link to the respective project pages. I should not have to use a search engine to understand those references.
A popular approach seems to be to use customized URLs. Which is of course always an option, though ClearURLs takes care of a few common options.

Besides it's up to a user whether they want to tell you where they came from, you aren't supposed to know anything, you are allowed to.
In general, I agree.

But if they get in a situation where management is yelling at them and demanding they work 20 hours a day until this is fixed somehow and they have no idea how to. Management won't bring in consultants, etc. That ship has already sailed.

> This isn't even the problem. It's that to be successful you need to be more than good at your job you need to be great at doing a few other jobs as well. Namely running a business and marketing. And lucky in catching the break the propels you upwards.

This should be trivially and universally fixable everywhere:

Never include the 3rd party marketing scripts on any pages where a user is authenticated.

Firefox was using no-referrer-when-downgrade, which only strips refers when navigating from HTTPS to HTTP.

They are switching to strict-origin-when-cross-origin, which cuts the referrer down to just the origin when navigating to a different origin.
I would say that most "normal people" don't even know the browser sends a referrer header, and it doesn't actually do anything for them.

This is useful for site owners, and they have little control over what browser their users use.

And as someone else already pointed out, the other big browser (Chrome) has already done this.
I think there'd be a bit less panic in the comments if the title/headline reflected that the change (as I understand it) applies cross-origin and cross-scheme (http > tls). So if you're preventing hot-linking of assets, this should not affect you (or; you have some control over it via policy):

> this new stricter referrer policy will not only trim information for requests going from HTTPS to HTTP, but will also trim path and query information for all cross-origin requests.
