Speaking of RF interference.

For the first time I bought myself nice headphones. And for some reason, unlike previous headphones, I can now hear very clear buzzing patterns any time my phone gets a Signal message.

I don't get it. It's not SMS, it's Signal messages over LTE. And the phone isn't connected to my headphones in any way.

And it just really diminishes my enjoyment of these things.
This is also the main reason why I'm switching everything back to cables. I can barely use my bluetooth headphones in my flat just because I'm using a USB 3 hub. Headphones randomly disconnecting in video calls is not a great experience.

Yeah, running an EV battery completely dead can be catastrophic to the battery so they try to scare the driver into recharging early. I think the Model 3 LR has about 25 miles of buffer.
Currently scaling is not possible, but most parts are built scaling in mind. I would like to support Kubernetes later on, but first Docker Swarm, which is way simpler.
From Academia to Startups – Common Founder Foibles
Different industries have different standards. Hard disks are several % under advertised capacity. Audio amplifiers ratings are completely disconnected from reality.

Packaged meat at places like Wal-Mart contain between 6 and 12% injected saline solution, so what you describe is already common practice.
What I wonder about: how is such a rescue contract negotiated? There is likely willingness to pay, but it is difficult to judge what a reasonable price is, and it may not even be clear who is culpable in advance. Do they have contracts in advance with the shipping companies?

I used https://www.pullrequest.com just to pay someone else to look at my code and make suggestions. Aside from just the normal nitpick styling stuff, they usually have decent architecture suggestions and help you avoid making costly mistakes. It's not cheap, but my project is a full time effort that makes money and I found it worthwhile.
> Zuckerberg is for physical offices

That would explain why, as the article mentioned, Facebook has added 1 million square feet of Manhattan office space during the pandemic.
What I find interesting about this is that is shows the steep divide between financial classes. (Completely by accident mind you). If you didn't need the money and could invest it in a risky strategy which you might lose completely, you would have earned X. To those people who desperately needed the money to survive, they are afforded no such option.
You can fix them as you find them. Just save as a separate commit. No need to go back to find anything.

Typos were just an example. There are other changes that are just as harmful to history that people might otherwise think are safe to squeeze in. Examples include whitespace changes and minor refactors. All of these can really mess with history and make things confusing. Refactors in particular really mess with your head and can even make the code review step confusing if the review wasn't sent with multiple commits.

Keeping semantic isolation of commits has value in its neatness. You may be able to get by without doing so, but you'll be better off if you did.
Really appreciate your feedback. I will reflect on your comment.
> My friends usually treat this approach "too amateur" and a "real language" should compile all the way to assembly.

Get new friends—no, seriously. I used to think like them, and hung out with similar minds. It is gatekeeping[0] in a way that, if internalized, will blind you to opportunity.

A few things I missed because I scoffed at them for not being "pure enough":

1) The entire Javascript ecosystem

2) Bitcoin, circa 2009

3) Countless SV startup opportunities from 2001-2015

4) ML and data science (e.g. the terrible tooling)

The success I have found always came with an open mind to people's approaches, even if they were not the ones I settled on. It took me way too long to learn this, but I hope I can change a few younger people's paths.

EPA estimates are in no way equivalent to weight. lol. Bad analogy.

Edit:
Yeah, I messed up my point. I was just responding to OP that getting less meat than what you paid for at a store is not equivalent to not getting the EPA rated mileage on your car. No one can really reproduce the EPA range without going to the EPA's test area.
Agreed.

Is it reasonable to say silicon can't have that "more than" just like organic molecules. I can't see why computers can't have that magic as well.
Odd turn to go to guns from this article
I think the point is that I don't want to change my TTLs. If I had my druthers, yeah, they'd go up periodically, and then if tech support receives an issue that sounds like it might require DNS changes, they press a button and the TTL drops. Once that issue is closed, it goes back to gradually increasing.
There were reports I read earlier that part of the unsticking process was pumping fuel and ballast water around to remove as much weight as possible from the bow of the ship. It's probably unbalanced the ship a bit and they're just waiting to get to the lake to pause and fix it to allow shipping to resume as fast as possible.
Did the ship crash during high tide or low tide? The tide 6 days ago when it got stuck compared to today is more important.
I just adore that us little humans got our big boat stuck in the sand and uncle moon had to reach down and fix it for us.
Hey man, you try getting headlines (clicks) with the truth all the time.
Has any car ever produced lived up to its advertised EPA range under regular use?
It's a collection of self-contained columns gathered together. They're all over the place in subject so if you went looking much more likely to find something specifically to draw you in. Also you can just skip ones you're not into without losing the overall picture like in GEB.

Different kind of book but similar explorations. I'd also say overall more enjoyable unless you're specifically into the thesis of GEB.
Is it odd that the company mentioned in the first paragraph - Simple - seems to be a contrary example? It sold to BBVA, and is now being shut down. Azlo (also owned by BBVA) is shutting down. The bank we used before Azlo (Seed.co) shut down.

Maybe startups are winning the payments space, but it sure seems like big banks are winning "the bank space".
I'm sure people on Wall Street loving the killing they can make via the SPACs, IPOs, PFOF, etc. of these companies. If they happen to work somewhere that also offers retail banking services and it costs a few midwestern loan managers their jobs, I doubt they care.
I got the impression the Bezos himself was tweeting.
Most cars keep a little gas under 0 miles left in order to preserve the fuel pump. If you run a car out of gas completely in a modern car, you can cause a lot of damage to the fuel system.

Religion isn't a genetically inherited.
> Throughout history, religious leaders have very rarely opposed killing "the enemy".

The 20th century would like a word with you.
I disagree. I’m a professional-level musician and a fan of GEB and I always felt the music and Bach analogies in the book were elegant and insightful.
That was the premise that an investigative journalist had in mind when he started an investigation to demonstrate precisely what you said to the rest of the world. Rather than starting with his assumptions and arguing against a strawman, he went to verify every fact he could and went to talk to experts. Instead of proving Christianity is a sham, he ended up converting to Christianity and writing a book about it: https://www.amazon.com/Case-Christ-Journalists-Personal-Inve... .

TL;DR: Christians wouldn't say that we base our beliefs on a collection of stories. We base our beliefs in the historical fact of the Resurrection. Perhaps we'll find out we're wrong some day, but having considered the best evidence we have (and the book I linked to walks through why that evidence is compelling), Christianity is a reasonable position to hold.
The article even mentions how boomers still have 50% of the wealth despite comprising just 33% of the population. I guess we really are slackers compared to them.
I have no data, but I think it should make a difference. The impact is not about bandwidth but about latency, so the size of a query plays no role - what does play a role is how many network roundtrips the browser has to do before the page becomes usable.

Seems to me that short TTLs in connection with the current trend to include scripts from dozens of different domains could easily double the number of average roundtrips per page load here.
Pretty easy as in... the Electron stuff that everyone complains about?
>Also, if someone else came up to you from Egypt and believed in an entirely different pantheon you respected their opinion and could see similarities in your own religion.

More than that, they believed each others gods were cultural representations of the same actual gods. After all there is only one sky. It doesn't make any sense to think that our sky god is different from their sky god, or our sun god is different from their sun god, though being gods they can manifest in different forms.

But then it's shocking how many people seem to think that Christians, Jews and Muslims worship different gods. There's only one god of Abraham, which arguably Hindus call Brahman. They're all just names and stories, there's only one reality*.

HN and the wider world will only learn too late that we are switching.

In this generation the world will switch from a fiat reserve currency to a digital open one.

I have not idea why HN tries so hard to fight this (probably most of you (like me) are rich white guys in tech).
Anyone with a modicum of knowledge on religious studies finds his, and all of the other books by the "New Atheists" (with the possible exception of Dennett) to be laughable. I'm sorry, they simply don't have much of an intellectual foundation in anything.

Here's an example:

Chapter eleven discusses how religions form, and claims that most religions are founded by corrupt, immoral individuals. The chapter specifically discusses cargo cults, Pentecostal minister Marjoe Gortner, and Mormonism. Hitchens discusses Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, citing a March 1826 Bainbridge, New York court examination accusing him of being a "disorderly person and impostor" who Hitchens claims admitted there that he had supernatural powers and was "defrauding citizens".[31][32] Four years later Smith claimed to obtain gold tablets containing the Book of Mormon. When the neighbor's skeptical wife buried 116 pages of the translation and challenged Smith to reproduce it, Smith claimed God, knowing this would happen, told him to instead translate a different section of the same plates.

And where does our concept of corruption or immorality come from? Hitchens just lacks basic knowledge of meta-ethics. He doesn't seem to realize that modern democratic rationalist values are themselves descendants of Christian ideas.

This is the foundational problem of the New Atheists and of the "rational" set in general. They either don't know or don't understand the foundations of modern ethics, all of which has roots in religion.
Yup, it's just an objective way to get a single number you can put on a window.

> Gray Matter

Should of course be Gray Area.
> If the fundamentalists are a problem, maybe there’s a problem with the fundamentals?

That is pretty ridiculous. It’s like saying if there is bad science the scientific theory is broken.
Agreed. This was a major component in my switch from Protestant/Baptist to ("Greek"/Eastern) Orthodox. Having thousands of years of prior religious & philosophical discussions to draw from, as well as the experiences of people living under all manner of political regimes provides a much-needed grounding against whatever may be the current, trendy topics.

And a direct result of that history is that the Church mandates certain practices to shape one's willpower: fasting (roughly half the year, in total, though "fasting" here means small vegan meals), some form of tithing &/or charitable work, explicit self-examination (not only standard prayers, but also Confession with a priest, who helps make a plan against bad habits, as well as an annual event where everyone in the parish asks forgiveness of each other) etc.
The internet and the ability to discuss these issues anonymously has exacerbated irreligion faster than communism ever could. And unlike stalinist/maoist regimes, people are doing it on their own free will.
you could just google it instead
Fair enough, but my understanding of European universities is that those 3 years tend to be more focused (on a specific area of study) than US university programs. That is, this is a reasonable description of many US 4-year degree programs for CS (using semesters):

Freshman:
Semester 1: English 101, Math 101 (maybe calc), Physics 101, CS 101, History 101
Semester 2: English 102, Math 102 (calc by now), Physics 102, CS 102, History 102
Sophomore:
Semester 1: Math 201 (calc), Chem 101, CS 201, Language 101
Semester 2: Math 202 (last calc, maybe stats), CS 202 & 203, Language 102
Junior - Senior: Mostly CS, with math or engineering support courses

My understanding of European universities is that the non-degree courses are typically not present unless someone specifically elects to take them (perhaps for a dual degree or minor). Which still goes with my point. Algorithms and data structures take no more than 1 year to study (EDIT: the basics), whether in a European or US university you have 2-3 additional years to cover the rest including getting into the technical details like why you want one of these loops and not the other:

for i from 1 to n
for j from 1 to m
a[i][j] = ...
// versus
for j from 1 to m
for i from 1 to n
a[i][j] = ...

Lol - quoting himself to back up his performance?

How about linking to others and not him defending his performance. Of course he’s going to have excuses.

Live a little and maybe even pick sources that might not align politically with you too for an alternate POV. Prevents “surprises”. Because as someone with no love lost on either party the election results were not a surprise - you just have to look across all sources, not just the ones that tell you what you want to hear.
“Objective” morality is a misnomer for religious morality, it's just subjective morality ascribed to some mythical authority figure (and, even if that figure actually exists, for most religions, given the diversity of different moral systems ascribed to the divine judge, those are clearly misascriptions, largely reflecting the personal subjective morality of the people doing the ascribing.)

I'm personally religious, but the myth of objectivity is a very, very dangerous thing; in masks the ways that man creates God in his own image.
I can assure you I am not: they include the Roman Empire, the Catholic Church, the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and Marx.

However, the question was:

> In the absence of religion, where do people find their moral and ethical compass?

That's what I was answering to.
I work at a lab where this is a major nuisance.

I’ve been wondering whether the clock spreading in the USB standard could be manipulated to notch out certain frequencies, like in noise shaping for ADCs.
I'm guessing your headphones are wired? Move your phone and/or its charging cable.

If your headphones are wired into the back of a desktop, bad power shielding in your desktop itself can cause similar problems. An external dac can isolate your headphones from your desktop.

Judgment of music quality also happens to be highly subjective.

Suppose an AI created a Bach-like contrapuntal exercise with a lot of cross-relations (i.e., clashing dissonant sounds). Would scholars judge it to be at the level of Bach because of the handling of these numerous cross-relations? Or would they claim it isn't at sophisticated as Bach because having that many cross-relations isn't stylistically accurate? Based on the historiography of musicology I would guess the latter. Even though there's an unfinished extant Bach fugue in C minor where he's essentially role-playing a cross-relation obsessed AI composer.

The history of theory is even worse. For example, Schenker created theories based on the mastery that Bach, Beethoven, and others displayed in their compositions. But when a piece by Bach didn't fit his theory, he claimed that Bach actually wrote it incorrectly!

I'm afraid AI music research is going to have to put up with the same irrationality of humans as every other subjective endeavor. That is, musicians will kick and scream that AI "isn't doing it right," then when it inevitably becomes embedded as a core part of music making we'll hear all about how music produced with classical algorithms on old protools rigs sounds so much "warmer."

I don't think anyone is accusing people of not listening to each other, at least not in the context of this thread. The issue is people actively listen, and then decline to provide any meaningful feedback on what they just heard as a means to avoid controversy. Me listening to someone doesn't do much good if I decline to contribute to the conversation afterwards.

I think you're missing my point, church is one of a multitude of ways to be involved in your community, and being involved in your community is the best way to meet a partner. Aside from that, being a part of a community is a fundamental part of mental health. Lost connections is a great book on this topic.

Thanks for the link. Technical part from that interview:

> On a technical level, the site obtains stories through the existing Google News RSS feed, which are then processed with some PHP trickery. "Google News has a very nice RSS feed, for each topic, language and country. So I thought I could connect to that feed, and write some code to simplify the result way down to extremely basic HTML, targeting only tags available in the HTML 2.0 specification from 1995," said Malseed.

> "So I used a PHP library called SimplePie to import the feed, and wrote some PHP code to simplify the results into a nice front page, using Netscape 2.0.2 on my 1989 Mac SE/30 to make sure it loaded fast and looked nice. The articles were a little more difficult, because they are on all sorts of different news sites with different formatting.

> "So I found that Mozilla has an open-source library called Readability, which is what powers Firefox's reader mode. I used the PHP port of this, and then wrote a proxy that renders articles through Readability, and then I added some code to strip the results down even further to extremely basic HTML."
What does unlimited mean? This was all the rage a year or two ago and it just makes me think it’s shady bullshit. I can generate more specs than you can deliver in a month. I assume you also work on other peoples requests too. If you can’t deliver every single request I put in every month (and you can’t) then it’s not unlimited. This may only be my perspective as I know other people had success with this model but despite that I still don’t get it.
