After lots of tweaks based on the valuable feedback from the community, SimpleR State is finally at its first official stable release v1.0.0.

Big thanks go to the great people that contributed to this effort to bring it to Production grade. I can now confidently call it the "simplest" out there. Mission accomplished.

Ask HN: Can someone tell me what in the world I've done wrong?
Dear HN,

Like many of you I am a dreamer for things like free software. I spent 7 months designing what I consider an ideal system package (called LibreStudio, see libre-studio.com) for distribution on a self replicating USB high speed thumb drive. So far I've not been able to get a single person to try it. I've only sold one copy on eBay. I never got feed back and I don't know if even he tried it. Perhaps he bought it thinking it was something else? So far I've tried putting it on a sales price, trying to give it away (could not even give it away.. lol). This is the sysytem I'm using now, I've been using it without any issue now for over 5 months. I've not had Windows on my computer now for over 4 years. So tell it like it is.. Please be as brutal as you can. Because nobody has honestly told me why this whole idea is pure crap yet. I can move on now, it's ok. Perhaps tech is something I was just never meant to be apart of.

Another point often missed is the diagnostic value of tail measurements. One of the first things I do at any job is replace the 90th percentile with the maximum in all plots.

Sure, it gets messier, and definitely less visually appealing, but the reaction by others has uniformly been "Did we have this data available all along and just never showed it?!"

It's also worth mentioning that even in a system where technically tail latencies aren't a big problem, psychologically they are. If you visit a site 20 times and just one of those are slow, you're likely to associate it mentally with "slow site" rather than "fast site".
I have a pair of headphones that cost several thousand $. I can hear things I haven't heard before in songs that I've listened to since I was a teenager.

Is it worth the money? Honestly I'm not sure. I probably could've gotten there with an investment of $500-1000. But now I have a beautiful piece of hardware that might last a decade or two.
I suspect the data streams are readable but the commands are encrypted, I mean satellites would be dropping out of the sky left and right (proverbially?) if that wasn't the case.

I worked for a bicycle shop that rented mountain bikes for the local trails. While riding with co-workers, we came upon a customer who had rented a bike for a couple days, so we asked how he was doing.

He replied "I'm not very good at mountain biking, but I've been riding all day."

"Are you having a good time?" asked my coworker.

"Oh, I'm having a blast."

"Well, it sounds to me like you're pretty good at mountain biking then."

Life and the activities it consists of are a lot like mountain biking in that regard.

That could definitely be the case for physical items since the production cost increases with the design complexity however is it really cheaper when you don't have to produce it beyond the design itself?

Maybe it could be argued that it could be cheaper for a sweatshop that profits per artworks produced per second per designer however non-sweatshop made designs are also quite often minimalist.

Nvidia don’t need ARM in-house to be successful. They already are. They are overvalued and have a huge mkt cap and are looking to make an acquisition as a result. Ultimately, the stock market will decide what Nvidia does with ARM. The pressure to deliver Q on Q improvements is immense. And re slashing and burning, it happens all the time in semiconductors. When you make an M&A, the first thing you look for are cost reduction opportunities because that’s one of the P&L drivers which in turn drives stock price (supply shortages notwithstanding). As for synergies (the other big thing in an M&A) I just don’t see any. If ARM goes to Nvidia it will be a disaster for ARM. Herman Hauser, ARM’s founder (now retired) has said as much. He was very unhappy about the SoftBank deal as well.
I have seen plenty of AIs that supposedly generate music, but this is the first one where the results are actually plausible. This is not too different from what I remember hearing in the early 2000s raves. Only the sound-system back then was maybe a bit beefier than my meager laptop speakers. ;) Well done!!

I have actually been working all morning now with this as my background music. It is great.
in some of those countries, repeated time limited contracts are also not legal. once you live somewhere for more than 6 months or a year (or whatever the period is specified by law) then the contract automatically converts into an unlimited contract with monthly payments.

to get evicted, you need to withhold paying rent for some time (more than just a few months) or cause severe damage to the property.

if the property is the only property being rented out by the landlord, then the landlord could evict you if they need that property for their own children or for themselves.

but beyond that, they can't evict you.
This may be my best and only opportunity to share my favorite sea shanty band with any wider audience. I suspect I only discovered them because YouTube has me in a geo-bubble and they're local to here.

Hi Ben, nice site. I'm no NLP expert but it might be worth taking a look at huggingface; they offer a simple API for all sorts of models.

Try dropping some text in the box and see how it goes. Good luck!
My experience with LSP (gopls specifically) in Emacs has been abysmal. It makes navigation even slower, opening files sometimes takes a second or two, but the worst issue is frequent crashing. lsp-mode with gopls is the only plugin I've used that crashes Emacs altogether. I've never lost much work thanks to autosave, but to say it was annoying is an understatement. Since I disabled both a few weeks ago, crashes stopped entirely.

I probably should open an issue about it, but with the complexity of the entire stack I'm not sure what component is responsible, and frankly didn't have time to dig into it.

So I'm glad that simple editors still exist that don't have LSP integration. There's a lot that can be accomplished with plain old ctags and grep.

I was not the best sprinter in school, barely getting a passing grade. One time I asked the best sprinter in class to take the lane next to me and I finally got the second best grade. Couldn't walk without pain for a day.

It's okay to be behind and feel bad about it as long as it provokes action. Execution and a bias to action are everything. You can feel like sh*t, loath yourself, you can cry, you can be in pain as long as you leverage those things to get into a flow state and keep on doing.

You are not okay, but you can work on becoming acceptable.
The one I keep coming back to when I go looking for an mp3 player with buttons is the Sandisk Sansa clips, and maybe the few copycats of that style. It'll have a smaller battery just by nature of being physically smaller, but for when you're outside or not in a perfect listening environment I'm sure it's 99% as effective for the core task of playing audio. Most of the range supports Rockbox as well.

I'm a bit paranoid that WD (who now own Sandisk) will stop making them, leaving a gap in the market when stock empties out.

> If you had no music experience, snuck into a club, impersonated a DJ, and just pressed play on this, I think even without touching it, no one would notice anything's amiss. If you messed around with it occasionally, you'd probably get hired back

Some sufficiently intoxicated people will dance to anything, though a good dj feels an obligation to make sure the thing being played is of good quality, regardless.

As to who gets hired, that's more a matter of networking than musical talent.
Sublime is still the most performant text editor I use. Its plugin ecosystem is not particularly healthy, but LSP helps bridge the gap with more advanced code editing tools. I mostly use it for quick edits, configuration files, etc. Sometimes I just want a break from Neovim I guess.

I don't regret buying Sublime at all, but I do feel like some potential was wasted there.
How do you deal with replicating customer data / data the developer / tester should not have access to?

Do you copy that into the ephemeral test environment as well? How are permissions managd for accessing that data? Does it have the same restrictions as in prod? (i.e. even in this env the developer / tester has no access to systems / data they would not have in prod).

An anecdotal "a lot of" is not an authoritative source. >99% of browsers in active use support JS (https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share) and <1% of people have JS disabled (https://deliberatedigital.com/blockmetry/javascript-disabled).

You say "a lot of", but the statistics say "a statistically insignificant percentage". I'm all for designing your static webpages with no need for JS, but the claim that a lot of people have it turned off is demonstrably false.

Anyway, hovering on an image to get a description shouldn't need javascript, that's an alt tag that is definitely supported by anything but hobby project browsers.
Latencies are patently not normally distributed. I could offer you 100:1 odds on that bet.

But the problem with averaging averages is that it makes no sense mathematically. The average (well, arithmetic mean, to be technical) has a well-defined meaning and interpretation in terms of the original data points. When you start averaging averages (or dear Lord percentiles!) you lose the last glimmer of interoperability you had.

One of the good things about Windows is the backwards compat.

I know this particular code has been updated in 2021, sure, but in general, you can take binary from early 2000s and it will run on Windows 10 most likely. (OK, games and rich "multimedia CD-ROMs" from that era have problems, but it holds in general.)

In linux, it kinda holds, because everything is open-source anyway, but binaries in general are not compatible.

In macOS, it really really doesn't hold, Apple likes to move fast-break things. They changed just the architecture like 4 times, and macOS and OS9 are entirely different. (They did things like Rosetta 1, Rosetta 2, Classic, Carbon, but they never maintain them for long.)

Windows is rock solid in this way. Windows 10 still has 32-bit version, and it can still run MS-DOS code apparently. (Although 64-bit Windows apparently cannot.)

At home I really appreciate the NAT. I'm glad not every device has a public IP and gets hammered with attacks 24/7. It's not fail-safe but it definitely adds some security..

As for cloud, no idea what the benefit should be there.
That’s exactly what it was - an opportunity to cash in. The other side of this coin is when you have supply shortages and/or a stock mkt run as we now have, some companies end up with huge mkt caps and are able to make purchases like this one. There is an argument that says it’s destructive in a bad way (not Schumpeter’s ‘creative destruction’) because ultimately it reduces competition and innovation.
If your backend and frontend engineers are that bad at communicating the api then you probably already have a lot of security problems to begin with.

It looks like conventional OSB sheathing, the surprising part is that it doesn't have an integrated coating to repel water. This means that housewrap will have to be applied to protect the sheathing from water damage, this is both labor intensive and the potential for misapplication increases the risk of water damage.
The article doesn't mention the main drawback of ToF depth sensing: Multipath Errors. They originate from light bouncing around in the scene before coming back to the detector, causing the resulting depth maps to have dents and distortions in the neighborhood of angled surfaces.

They are a big problem in built environments which have lots of 90 deg angles that act as retroreflectors to the signal. To my knowledge none of the ToF sensor manufacturers (MS, Sony, PMD, Samsung, etc..) has solved this problem. If anyone has, please let me know as the topic is of professional interest to me.

As COVID-19 shifts the market, countless people have resorted to learning new skills to remain competitive.

You don't want to tackle 2021 in the same way as other years because it's noticeably different. When hiring it should be in mind that the world has changed, and the best goals and strategies aren't the same as in previous years.

I live in a relatively modern house (<15 years old) and the 5Ghz signal doesn't make it up the stairs. 5Ghz is 'same room' wifi, and I have Problems with it. It's the same with mobile 5G data, it needs so much more signal towers / transmitters to be effective.

I've hit 'forget' on my home 5Ghz network because it's just unstable upstairs, and my phone isn't smart enough to pick the network with the stronger signal for some reason.
Yep. As a designer, it's much easier for me to make a flat rectangle than something photo-realistic. And you know what's even easier? Putting down no rectangle.

And if I have an excuse to leave out fine pixel editing -- like because it makes me look high-class -- then I'll go for lazy! Hell yeah.

Designers love minimal designs because it makes their job easier, and it comes with free rationale attached, backed by Steve Jobs and Dieter Rahms themselves. It's a laziness that nobody can fire us for. We love it. We LOOOVE it.
No. The atomic bombs were intended to be used against Germany as well, but the Nazis surrendered before a working bomb could be deployed. The US chose Japan because they were at war with Japan and Okinawa proved just how costly an invasion would be.

Not that the US wasn't, and isn't, still virulently racist against Asians in many ways, but we didn't undertake the entire Manhattan Project because of racism or just to show up Stalin, that's absurd.

The elephant in room is Airbnb et al. not home ownership.

It started as way to rent a spare room - fair enough - and if it had stayed like this, its impact would be bearable. But like it evolved - full residential quartiers acting as large hotels - made the housing market unsustainable for the inhabitants not participating in this game.
> I can't use an informal reference to reason about its actual behavior.

I don't follow here. You can do that. There's a more formal reference too though. [0]

> Relying on integer overflow’s wrapping behavior is considered an error

Good point, I'd missed that. So, Rust strongly discourages relying on the wrapping behaviour of release builds. It seems to take the opposite approach that Java uses.

In Java, you get wrapping arithmetic 'by default' (i.e. when using the arithmetic operators), and there are special functions that give throw-on-overflow behaviour (which almost no one uses). [1] In Rust, the arithmetic operators handle overflow either by wrapping or by panic, depending on build configuration, and if you deliberately want to overflow, there are special functions for that (i32::wrapping_add) which behave identically on Debug and Release builds.

I believe Ada does something similar.

> At the end of the day, C++ puts food on the table. I try to improve C++ as much as possible, knowing that it is an imperfect language.

Sure, I use C++ too. I really only know about Rust from a distance, I'm not a Rust programmer. C++ still has considerable advantages: excellent first-class support on all major platforms, a wealth of libraries available, mature tooling (static analysis, dynamic analysis, top-notch IDEs). Of course, some major software frameworks are natively C++, so you're strongly encouraged to stick with C++ (Qt, Direct3D).

> C++ is heading into safe direction, and I'm sure C++26 will be able to provide more features to write code safely.

The C-style footguns will probably still be there in 20 years. Yes, they've given us std::vector and std::array which allow us to manage arrays more safely than raw C arrays, but read-before-write is still undefined behaviour, dereferencing null is still undefined behaviour, divide-by-zero is still undefined behaviour. They gladly add more functionality to the standard library, but they're very reluctant to tweak the core of the language. At least we have two's complement guaranteed by the C++ standard now.

> Rust seriously need to add Function Overloading, Generics.

I wasn't aware Rust lacked generics. That sounds frustrating.

I have mixed feelings on function overloading. It makes it harder to reason about what function is being called.

Exactly, wanting to own your own home is not the issue, point the finger at housing not keeping up with populations and the people buying up the limited housing that exists.
I think that the person who is enjoying themselves when they program, and sure, improving as well, is the one who is "ahead" or "winning". Some people enjoy difficult challenges, some enjoy creating something beautiful and elegant, and some enjoy helping others or making the world an easier place to navigate for others.
This ignores everything about supply/demand and market bubbles.

> Homes logically really shouldn't be an appreciating asset.

People have been trying to explain that to the Federal Reserve for decades. They are not interested in hearing about the problems created by moneyprinting.
I think it's reasonable to argue against (such a heavy emphasis) on home ownership; but it has to apply equally.

Everyone striving to own a home is a consistent scenario, which has pros and cons.

Social housing that's owned by nobody/everybody is a consistent scenario, which has pros and cons.

Having some paying rent to others who own (or, even worse, have buy-to-let mortgages), is inherently unjust.

Recruiting in a Post-Covid World
Money is devalued. Now, in order to find a good specialist, the only thing that can be done is to satisfy his need for a high salary.

In the Covid world, recruiters pay less attention to talent. Technological requirements have become lower due to the fact that there are not enough professionals in the developers’ niche.

When the main option was hiring to the office, every tiny thing was important, including such things as the candidate’s family status, age and appearance. But nowadays is more important for the candidate to be aware of soft skills and to communicate clearly.

Everyone hires a lot, but if you want to stay in business, you should not delay. You should look for reliable channels of access to talent.
