Yeah it is probably overstated, but it is definitely a slightly confusing machine compared to other modern Elektrons (I have the Machinedrum, which you can clearly see how it inspired the Octatrack).

I don't use my OT that often and whenever I pull it out it takes me a while to reorient myself with how I load a sample, why is that track muted, etc. etc. Of course out of this architecture comes great flexibility too, unmatched by anything else hardware based really, and when I listen to the patterns I've made, they do sound unlike anything I make with other gear (in a cool way). I am going to try to integrate it as a live looper for "live" performances (to an audience of one, myself, in the bedroom, but everyone has to start somewhere!).

And yeah, I'm hooked too. Got most of the boxes now, just missing Monomachine (never really grabbed me and definitely not at the second hand prices!) and Analog Heat (which I bet I'd love but it feels expensive for "just an effect"). Don't regret it all though, I love how each one is a self-contained groovebox that I can make a full track on on the sofa, but also they integrate really well for a more advanced setup. And they're just super fun!

Its not completely irrational though. Interest rates are at record low levels which encourages debt and you also have the US Fed printing money which is why people use BTC as a hedge.

Could you explain how they are doing politics and why that's non-democraticthis for someone who is not familiar with this? Thanks!
I would understand your comments in 2014. Since than we know so many facts. And the last one — you are commenting on full blown war by Russia on Ukraine territory. Like if bullets knows are we Russian enough. That's selective blindness. Sorry, no hope for genuine discussion.

If they can vote, they already won the issues of rights, from which a lot of stuff automatically derives (welfare etc). Realistically, on a wide range of issues (taxation, gender rights, abortion, religious topics), a lot of minority members actually skew hard-right.

Once (if) the "undocumented" issue is solved, I expect we will likely see a pretty big realignment in US politics. Which is why it's particularly braindead from Republicans to die on that hill, they don't realize there are massive gains for the taking.

I remember auditing the ebanking system for a bank a decade+ ago.

I was expecting that they perform their UAT on the prevalent browsers at the time. I don't expect/demand that people will UAT a website for "Pale Moon", but it is dangerous to not test Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera (and a few more) and in multiple devices/displays.

I have no expectation that a personal blog will display perfectly, but for some applications/websites every menu option, line, frame, must be perfecly visible as per the design, otherwise you get your Chrome users that cannot hit "send" to complete that funds transfer, and that won't keep you employed for long.
I type on a different computer. I use a desktop system for video conferencing (which has a mechanical keyboard) and do any typing, e.g. for note taking, on a separate laptop.
I find it perfectly ethical to offer a service to customers based on open-source software. Again, nothing prevented ES from doing this for years, or sticking to only making proprietary addons. And again, there are several other companies offering the same services and many startups have built massive businesses on various open-source components.

Forks are a celebrated part of OSS and we only have more choice as customers now. The industry is better than ever. You keep ignoring these facts so at this point it's clear that you just have a personal bias against Amazon rather than a cohesive argument regarding OSS.
Well, why? And what characteristics you expect the example to have so you are satisfied with it? Please state them all up-front so he has the freedom to misinterpret them and not accept any correction after the fact.

I think I know what he is talking about. My only problem with the article is that the thing he said he uses is more aptly named "user story" too. Those are just not broken "Scrum user stories".
The strong case for grit: accomplishment, strength and confidence. The evidence is perfectly clear.

Success can be defined in many ways. Accomplishment does not always result in a successful outcome by all measures. But success is rarely achieved without some significant accomplishments along the way.

Consider the metaphor of the winning the battle but losing the war.

Consider sports. Was the game successful? Was an individual player’s performance perfect? Perhaps not. But have there been other successful outcomes? Have players become stronger? Maybe the next game or even the season will still be a success.

Consider a toddler learning to walk or a child learning to ride a bike. There are many failures, and yet the child is encouraged to continues to try. They may not get to the Olympics, but are they successful anyway? Isn’t the child empowered?

If the goal of education is to build strong and empowered individuals with a toolbox to go forth and tackle society’s problems, then grit must be an essential part of that educational training and that toolbox.

But if the goal of education is to just satisfy one particular academic metric, then the “case for grit” may be as yet undetermined.

Height is largely a function of diet. We very much eat better, but historically you find average heights very quite a bit over time with people getting taller and shorter based on the food supply.

Even today it varies quite a bit, but almost directly maps to country wealth and immigration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_human_height_by_countr...
You can increase the bandwidth on the sats by launching more. They have 40k planned.

The actual practical limited is how much data they can get between sat and terminals. For one cell, all terminals in that cell receive all data sent to that cell. Meaning your terminal also gets all the data from your neighbor.

There is a max. bandwidth to one cell, so that bandwidth divided by the number of terminals is the limiting factor.

We don't know exactly how large that number is.

That is why this is not a good system for high density application.
There's some truth to this, but it's also true that when someone with many years of experience and a long history of top performance ratings and promotions has to take a week or two off to study in order to do the test, that it indicates the test is not well targeted to the job.

In 2010ish I worked briefly in a school in the UK (ages 11-19) which had 3 or 4 racks of servers running Citrix XenApp, serving Office etc. and general educational and administrative applications to ancient laptops and desktops which had been (very inexpertly) reconfigured as thin clients.

It ran like crap (probably didn't help that re-provisioning a server was defined as hot-swapping disks around and running NewSID or whatever it was called) and of course in large parts of the school the WiFi just wasn't quite good enough. I got a lot of calls from PE teachers trying to take the register from the far corner of the playing field.

It was an extreme case of CV-driven development, I was brought in to backfill when the IT manager who had introduced all this walked out one day. He stood up at about lunchtime, grabbed his coat and said "I'm going now". The team thought he meant for lunch...

By the time I was leaving under a year later, they had brought in another IT manager who (rightly!) said "what's all this nonsense" and rolled out proper clients imaged with MDT.

It seems like markets are always cyclical. After the dot com crash nobody would touch a stock that didn’t have profits. Now 20 years later people shit on those who only buy “value” stocks as old and out of touch and insist that we’re in a new world where valuations don’t matter.

The hard part isn’t predicting a crash it’s trying time when it will happen.

The poster was being hyperbolic. I love California, but as on outsider I didn’t have the sense of which areas were or weren’t dangerous, and to be honest just couldn’t read it, and got myself into dangerous situations. That would never happen in Australia because I can read people and places in ways, and it surprises me that this is true, that I seemed to be culturally blind to in the US. I’m still confused about Compton, to my eyes it read as an easy going middle class neighborhood, is it? - was Dre exaggerating all this time? . In both LA and Oakland (where I mostly lived) there were nights where there was extended gunfire. To be honest this happens in Australia too, but I assume that it’s people out hunting. Oh hang on - I take that back the Proudlock brothers used to shoot each other with air rifles.

Using money as a way to evaluate the worth of how you spend your time carries a huge set of biases with it. Should I put a monetary value on playing with my kids so I can justify it against making an extra sales call?

As a metaphor an "opportunity costs" is helpful for thinking about the value of time but it becomes an ideology in itself if you take it literally.
Is there anyone at the company you could talk to about your struggles?
They will likely view it - correctly - as an ominous omen of change and upheaval.
I hope you are joking, because if not you are totally misinformed.

The sats are not detectable by human eye and are totally dark in the sky once in position. Even amateur astronomers would have a very hard time finding them.

Maybe if you really look for them, you could potentially see them in twilight but you would be very unlikely to notice those even if there were 100k of them.

I agree. What I wanted to point out is that this is not intended as a privacy-enhancing move by Google. More that they make life a bit harder for their own competitors.
Radio hosts vs. the wacky people that call in. Being on a phone in 2021 on a radio program just sounds subpar.

Like what other people have said, if you're having issues, get a decent wired microphone (with a cardioid pattern if available), and possibly some good noise cancelling software like Krisp, nvidia RTX, etc.

And totally optional, but VoiceMeeter on Windows can be a kind of equalizer for an input which can give a bit more clarity and bass if desired.

Yes, but the overwhelming majority of people have a work schedule. I can’t trade my time at 7PM for $10 unless I want to find a second job.
I really agree with this article. I actually built an App with Sqlite as the backend that works locally, on kubernetes, on the mac app store , on Raspberry PIs, and almost anywhere and it has performed fantastically for years now. The biggest thing is that you have to make sure you always wrap your SQLite queries in a transaction, otherwise you can get corruption: https://github.com/yazz/visualjavascript

I know plane changes are a real problem but you can get nearly velocity intercepts without matching orbits. The timing is brief but to objects on dissimilar orbits can come to a relative standstill for brief periods when their orbits are setup properly.

Also 36 km/h isn't /that/ fast you could have a capture mechanism that absorbs that impact or where it doesn't matter like a net.

I think we're probably okay as we're an open source project, do pure testing on cloud CI's, and use the separate (non-bash) modules internally. Potentially compromising the GitHub app connection does sound immediately worrying, because of GitHub's terribly lax token permissions (e.g. the "All repositories or Nothing" access) - if they saw what the app connection could see, would they be able to see all private repos?

I'm somewhat sympathetic to sites that suggest curl | bash as a once-off installation. Advocating that your users curl | bash every time you test your code does sound quite a bit more irresponsible.
Could you, though? Even gig work at $10/hr is not exactly something most people are set up to just opt into for the tiny slices of their day that would otherwise be "trip to grocery store."

I agree that the convenience of Amazon does create value for customers and that it makes sense to try to quantify that somehow; otoh that convenience also manifests negatively in things like unneeded purchases and comparison shopping paralysis. So I think the math on it is indeed a bit suspect.
Unfortunately I have come to realise that this is sadly a common issue with HackerNews. The now-famous first response

I don't think that's really true as a blanket statement. I stayed in what turned out to be a depressing, small, rental apartment in Denver for a weekend via airbnb, because it was something like $20/night. The place smelled like trash and there was no laundry on-site.

You might say that any type of travel is a luxury. Ok, I guess. This trip was for a funeral. The flight was under $100. While I'm fortunate to be able to afford such a thing, no part of the trip was "luxury travel".

The drug isn’t gonna fix you by itself. It facilitates a state where you can fix your brain. I’m sorry you had a bad experience. Perhaps it is worth trying again in the company of a guide or others.

No, Rust didn't actually make it slower to run. It's likely it made it a bit faster; the code quality in Firefox isn't great.

It just makes things slower to compile and less portable.
Yeah it's amazing how bad people are at this without practice (including myself). Reading complicated / unfamiliar words aloud is a key skill in reading quizbowl questions (a type of trivia). Often these questions will have pronunciation guides to help but even then it can be a slog for some people. I've actually found TTS better than all but the most experienced readers for this task.

Successful busy people do value time for money. Elon Musk for example. He has very less free time with running multiple business and having so many kids.

Interesting that they called out the materials problem, and specifically the duration of research time necessary to develop and test new materials. I currently work for a company specifically targeted at shortening R&D cycles for materials companies.

It's an interesting AI application - materials data tends to be small, and sparse, because each data point is expensive to generate. But you have the benefit of physical properties being bounded in the real world, where we already know certain relationships. So you need a way to inject ground truth into your model(s) so that you aren't trying to have your model re-learn the boiling point of water.

Work is not perfectly elastic but time is still by and large tradeable for money.

It's amazing that now a whole generation has not had that experience (at least to a far, far lesser degree), and probably doesn't realize that that's how it was.
While condenser microphones with a boom arm are nice for a home office, they're not portable enough for a setup that will work after returning to a hybrid office/WFH life.

Ideally, that portable setup would have no boom arm, no pop screen, no huge microphone.

The best candidate I've found so far is the Audio Technica ATH-G1 Gaming headset (reviewed by the excellent Podcastage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMgyh7Ne5ng).

In my opinion, the sound quality isn't quite comparable to high quality condenser microphones like the Blue Yeti (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2BNAF3u5lc) or dynamic microphones like the Samson Q2U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjCJbhjFYiA&t=6s), but it's 90% of the way there and significantly more portable.
Well, I'm thinking of an app that lets the user edit some kind of document. At some point the changes have to be saved.
